Do you mean when you are using it or when it is on standby? I find the standby is very good even if it is connected via wifi for a day. But if you are talking about battery drain upon using for entertainment, of course things will be different.

Just like myself, I can't run 2.4 IPPT within 11mins, but I can walk and complete it in 20mins. :o:s13:

I just got the new nexus 7 from Amazon via CGW yesterday. Screen no issues, but the LED notification light doesn't seems to be working although it is enabled, tried LED tester app still no go, anyone else having this issue? :s11:

LED Tester has never been updated for years. Try Light Flow instead https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite&hl=en

After installing the app, run it, go to Tools, select All enabled LEDs Test and press power button to sleep. Within 5 sec, you should see the LED blink. Sadly, only white LED on N7.2 though.

If you see all the tablets of the same category, with that amount of battery capacity, there is always a upper limit on the number of hours you can get from them. Especially if you are talking about intensive usage, no matter how efficient the SOCs or display is.

USB charges slow.
Non-official charger not meant for N7 slow.
official charger fast.

Indeed. Let me support with some real data.

According to my Battery Monitor Widget app, charging with USB connected to PC is about 380mA during sleep mode. So 3950mAh/380mA is about 10 hours for a full charge.

If charging from the stock charger, the app records at around 1120mA. That means a full charge with the proper equipment will take less than 4 hours.

I'm very pleased with the battery life liaoz!
used it for a full day, finished reading a short novel plus a bits of short gaming sessions and it didn't drop much below half. :D

Its 3950mah powering a 7 inch fhd screen. And if the battery life was better,it will be heavier. Anyway, have you tried using custom Roms to undervolt?

just a note that Nexus 7 is already a factory underclocked device for battery life reasons (of course you're more than welcome to underclocking it further)...

I personally am really thankful for how light it is, wouldn''t want it to be any heavier for longer battery life..
if you want longer battery life, maybe you can try getting a full 10" tablet...

depends, when i use it for surfing on crappy wifi at 1-2 bar it drains really fast

about 2-3hr from 100% drop to 30-20%


when connection is great at 4 bar, it doesn't drain that fast i think.

with sporadic surfing and mostly reading pdf stuff can easily last whole day

Hey, I'm looking at shipping a N7 (2) from US too. Can anyone guide me? Should I buy from Amazon or Ebay or BestBuy? I'm a registered user on CGW, this will be my first time forwarding via CGW so I have the promo code for delivery. I have a POSB debit card too.

Get from amazon if they got stock. If not get from play store. Either way, you got to ship them to your cgw address

Installing apk files doesn't require root. Just allow it in the security can liao. Rooting allow you to install custom rom, kernels. Custom roms usually has tweaks here and there to make it more stable. Custom kernels allows you to overclock, undervolt etc. The custom kernel I'm using allows me to slide to sleep, double tap to wake, dont have to press the side button

Slide/tap to wake available on N7 G2 already?
