Well it seems to be getting a little better but still I am not looking at 9 hours and probably more like 6.5 which is far from what I would like. Would I keep just going from 100 to 0 until I see some good results ? Its getting to nearly a week old now and the battery is hardly any better than when I out it. I am sill thinking its cos I was flashing the rooms. Flashed to he Zeus and back a couple of times now. I am now on stock. I am pretty sure its not because I turned it straight on with the 15% they gave me and charged it from there instead of charging for 8 ours or whatever hey say.

And to add to the problems, it seems Asus for the life of them cannot figure out how to attach a screen to the main body. Right down my left side is that annoying clicking noise, worse than my second prime, not as bad as he first. Tap the home button, squeak, anywhere in the top left corner, squeak. So annoying. I guess I will just have to see how it pans out because even though unlocking the deice has nothing to do with this, my warranty is gone. Maybe someone will figure out how to open the device and figure out how to reattach the screen. 3 tablets, same problem, just ridiculous.

Its not a matter of figuring it out. Its just like the Prime on how to open it. The question is, who is willing to open there Infinity. Erusman, from the Prime forum undertook that and in the end was able to fix light bleed and modded his tablet for better wifi/gps. Although it kinda looks like Frankenstein, it worked. The light bleeding was just a matter of the screws all along the display was too tight which caused stress on the screen. After he loosened the screws, it eliminated the light bleed completely. I'm pretty sure it is the same situation with our Infinity's.

Aside from that shocking problem, here are my current battery stats. It seems extremely quick to charge. I though it was supposed to take at least 3 hours. I seem to be well under that.

What I found out in my experience to keep the battery healthy after is to make sure to charge it within a certain percentage. For me I wait till 20% to charge sometimes 15% when I get a warning to plug it in. If whenever I mess up on a charge and it unplugs before a full charge, I will just leave it unplugged and discharge it once again.

In 4 to 5 hrs the most that's when I watch movie and TV straight full charge and even in power saving mode 30% dim no blue tooth sync off, I thought I were getting 8hrs, nope I was wrong, unless I'm doing something wrong here or need calibrating the battery right idk.

Looks like you and I are alone in this forum on this. I have tried explaining this to people around the web but no one listens. Check how everyone just ignored your post. Not sure if I should laugh or cry.

It's simply reading the voltage from the battery, and that's it. There's no magic behind it. Calibration is useless.

The overall health of my battery is still very solid. I've been doing it like this for a couple of years now with all the tablets/phones I've owned.

There is something wrong about it. Li-Ion batteries lose max capactiy every time you let them go down to 0%. You should only fully cycle 1 time upon receiving your TF700 in order to calibrate the battery. After that, you should always top off.

Case in point: my dock maxes out at 96-97% now after being dissipated down to 0% about 10-20 times. My Tablet however still goes to the full 100%. My old Samsung Netbook had its Li-Ion battery completely discharged on accident for about a month when I was on vacation. It lost like 10% of its rated run-time when I recharged it. Do NOT let your Li-Ion batteries go to 0% if you can avoid it.

I heard that it doesn't discharge to 0% it shuts down before it gets to low to function. Your right one or two times is plenty good enough.
