[Q] Battery Usage Reporting

[wideopn11]

Does anyone know why the battery usage in system settings doesn't show all the info for how much each app is using? My galaxy nexus shows everything. I thought it was part of Android 4.0.

I just checked my battery stats a few minutes ago and was surprised that there were no statistics per app. I'm glad someone else noticed it. Maybe we'll be getting an update soon to fix that.

I'm guessing it resets everytime you connect the dock?

I don't think so, mine just looks really funny because every time its connected to the dock it shows its charging. I got really confused the first time I looked at it because I hadn't plugged it in all day and it said it was charging for half of it. lol

Update: I talked to Asus about the battery reporting issue. They said it is part of android 4.0 and it does work on the 101 and 201. They suggested a factory reset after updating from FW .17 to .26 (I doubt this will fix) or to report the bug to google. I may try the factory reset if I can confirm that I will keep root. I also noticed my screen doesn't wake anymore when I open (attached to keyboard dock). Opening would wake the screen when I was on .17.

Check the asus customized settings at the bottom. There is a mobile dock power saver or something like that, it disables waking from sleep by anything but the power button, when connected to the dock.

I don't own a dock, and my tablet had been off the charger for over 24 hours. There just weren't any stats available.

I also don't like how Asus tries to pass the blame to Google. It can't be Google's fault if it works fine on all other Android devices.

I reported this bug to Asus.

The battery in settings does not display the usage information about
which apps are using how much battery. This is an android 4.0 feature and works on
the tf201 and my galaxy nexus. Customer support indicated that it should be working
and suggested I contact google to report a bug. I'm reporting the bug to you. It's your
job to provide fully functioning software on your device.

Good. Like I said before, the problem isn't Google's code if that feature works on hundreds of other devices. If this is the only device on which a feature doesn't work, how is it anyone's problem besides Asus?

I am having the same issue. I had the problem on .17 and it persists on .26

I don't have the dock, so I know it is not exclusive to that.

I will try the factory reset and see if that helps, but I am not overly hopeful. This tablet feels kind of rushed out the door by ASUS with a bunch of software bugs.

When I hit the graph I can see these battery stats ie screen on, awake, wi-fi, charging, GPS etc.. with the default battery stats tool. Whats missing is the listing of battery usage by app and process the menu layer before that.

I ended up downloading Badass Battery Monitor, you can keep track of app battery usage with it.

 

[ryzilla23]

i tried a factory reset on .26 after the OTA and this problem is still occurring. But the system feels more stable overall.

 

[wideopn11]

Yeah factory reset is not going to work. Its a bug in the new firmware. I keep asking when they will be fixing it. Maybe Asus needs some more pressure. Try this email for them.

How did you get .29 and what region code is it?

Oh snap, downloading now...

Confirmed new firmware is .29 and battery usage stats is working now. And OTA rootkeeper worked like a charm. Rock on.

I'm not sure if the app usage is completely working, but at least I'm getting reports on Screen and Idle

Oh? Did they report the bug to Google? *sigh*
