Battery issue dirty trick...

I got so frustrated due to battery drain issue that I tried all roms available numerous time.... I discovered from my personal experience and from community that Google play services doesn't allow tablet to sleep, so I tried dirty trick that seems to be helping for now....
What I did was - settings-battery-tap Google play store and forced play store from waking my tablet up by selecting both prevention scenarios....

Since I installed the latest update, the battery drain issue is gone. So, whatever they did, seems to have fixed things.

Great now all I need is a dev to make a rom from it.

Just for those curious it was the Nvidia drm plugins that was causing the drain issues. It was reported to Asus so they must have patched fast.

Is there still a heat issue on the back of the tablet. What I mean is, does the tablet still get warm on the back of it from using it (with possibly cpu intensive apps)? If this is changed, that would make me pretty happy. Also, has there been any performance boosts since updating? Thanks for your help!!

I only feel some heat when it is charging and, even then, it isn't much. It was getting hot all the time before this update and that is now gone. Insofar as performance, I've not noticed any significant difference.

Hi guys, I'm sorry for a silly question but I'm new in "tablet world". I've just bought this tablet and it's updated itself to 4.3. How can I get the version you're talking about here?

It will update itself again...

Really? 4.3 has been there for about a week and no sign of "auto-update"...

As long as it is not unlocked then yes. You can force it via the download from the Asus website.

IMO 4.3 was better than 4.4.2

IMO 4.3 was a running system that never should upgraded on our device...... @ sdbags : btw your roms are great
