Respectable battery time on a $150 tablet i would say. I put heavy usage on it, mostly browsing and researching, a few add on flashes, around an hour of video time, 30 minutes or so of gaming and still pulled a little over 8 hours screen on time on a full charge. Cm 10.1 installed. Color me happy.

Install Carbon ROM. You'll be happier.
Just a suggestion.
Edit: This is also with PIE enabled. It supposedly drains more battery.

Holy NiCad Batman. That's some sweet battery life. Might have to try it out soon. ATM I'm on Verygreens and I like it with the tablet UI mod but the browser is a bit wonky. Ill run it a week or so and see all the bugs then try Carbon and decide on what I like more.

Change 'other usage' to 'partial wake usage' and see what's keeping the phone up.

use system panel and see which processes and apps are using your cpu. its a free app, but the paid version gives you much more options and shows you a list of each app that used your cpu. that's what you need.
btw, system panel is by far the best app for this on the market!

What ROM and Kernel are you on and how long ago did you flash to it (assuming it's a custom ROM)?
Reason I ask is that I had sleep issues with a ROM that was fine but somehow didn't flash well. Reflashing the same ROM over fixed my battery issues. This might not be what's going on with you just any bit of info can help when it comes to chasing down ghost CPU cycles/battery issues.
Also, did you recalibrate you battery yet? It could be an issue of your battery not getting charged to 100% or dying before <1%
Ok cool I just downloaded the free version do you think I should buy the paid version better?

Hi! I have cyanogem mod 6.1
0 running kernel 2.6.35
9 cyanogenmod shade @ toxygene #2
I flashed a while ago but it seemed ok then. I'm not 100 percent sure but it kinda seems the problem started when I did a backup and a restore. ;(

The battery changes in increments of 10%. This makes me sad
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
I noticed that too. Didn't make me sad, but I thought it was really strange.
It's a smart phone dangit! Should be able to count battery percentages to the ones place. j/k.
It's just weird. I hope root will come soon.
Accurate Battery will be here once we can get a clockwork recovery.
Not really sure why most devices only show it in increments of 10% since the internal APIs totally support it.
However, to get around this I use "Circle Battery Widget" which will show the battery level to the 1% on pretty much any motorola phone.
You can download it for free by searching for "fr.depoortere.android.CircleBatteryWidget" in the market.
(Sorry, XDA won't let me post links yet )
I also use circle battery widget, works flawless

I lived my nexus 7 on 4.1 but man 4.2 build is so bad. It is almost unusable to me. It is laggy and buggy with freezing all the time. Any suggestions on something very stable, close to stock? How is cyanogenmod? Ideas would be appreciated. Looking to root tomorrow I can't take this any longer.

Ι tried that for a day, it was smooth and all but the battery life while idle was horrible.
Reverted to 4.1.2 stock, is there a way to get rid of the notification to update to 4.2 (without updating ofcourse)...

Strange how peoples experiences differ
I use stock rom 4.2 and never ever have any kind of lag or freezing of any kind - everything works 100% and buttersmooth constantly
I never have to reboot or anything, it just runs for months and not even once have I had any lag or problems
Try a 4.1 rom, CM 10.1 is your best bet, but im not familliar of this device roms.

People have problems with 4.2 if they have old applications that are not updated for 4.2, don't clean their cache, or don't trim their storage.
Any complaints about battery life are due to applications requesting data synch or location. Those wake the Nexus up, and can be turned off.
4.2 is fine for me.

I had similar issues in stock 4.2, tried about 3 others before settling on cm10.1, which runs smooth as can be for me with good battery life.
Seems like the these things are pretty finicky and everyone's handles different ROMs differently.

You do realize not every device is the same. I keep good tabs on my devices. I would know if an application was causing the problem. I've factory reset the device and nothing has changed. Also I've heard from numerous people who have had problems like mine.

I love sparksco's saber mod ROM (4.2.1). It's very smooth and has excellent battery life (10%/hr screen-on time + 10%/day). The supplied kernel is great but I prefer metallice's m-kernel.
Sent from my Nexus 7
That's exactly why I finally decided to root and rom. I did like the 4.2 features so I was shooting for one that incorporated those (dual-sided notification bar, etc.)
Paranoid Android nailed it for me. It feels just like stock 4.2 but is wayyyy smoother, wayyyy less problematic and has a ton of customization options.
I gave cyanogenmod and a couple others a chance first but Paranoid Android definitely has my vote.

I decided to go with AOKP and I am loving it. So much better than stock it's crazy. Like night and day difference.

it hard to decide which is the better rom.
btw i'm using paranoid android+franco kernel
I Use the super Charged Series N7, although PRIME D01-25 is also good. Both are very smooth with great battery life, especially when using M-Kernel or motley.
NEXUS 7:
Unlock/Root
N7 Super Charge v1
M-Kernel

This is too funny...
If you have the latest version of jb and it is so bad you can barely use it than you need an RMA.. While it out may have some minor bugs I used it for a long time and loved it... I only switched to paranoid because I love the pie..
It sounds like a hyperbolic exaggeration to me. If not your device is faulty.. or you have some really bad apps messing things up..

I've haven't tried any other custom roms beside CM 10.1.3 stable: no bloatware, better than stock battery life, and tons of customization. I wouldn't want to try anything else.
Update#1: I've been experiencing frequent reboots through out the day. Seems to happen randomly or before and after being plug in to charge.
Update#2: Too many crashes/reboots on the CM10.1.3 stable. I couldn't take it anymore so I flash CM10.2..latest nightly. Amazing! No reboots, far stable than 10.1. Gonna stick with 10.2 for a week or two then try custom roms as ProBam and Carbon.
Update#3: So 10.2 does crash and restarts. It will happen while it is plugged in "Charging". GAPPS would crash i noticed. wth
HoloBlur, Carbon, or CyanogenMod hands down.

4.2 ROMs (especially AOKP): +++battery, -stability.
4.3 ROMs (LiquidSmooth 2.10, Carbon): -battery, +stability.
There is no golden middle choice. However, 4.3 roms provide much more features and the battery life is compared to stock (but still worse), so, not a bad choice to try.
Tried all everything you guys have said and I've come to the conclusion that either my battery is defective or this phone just sucks when it comes to battery life regardless or ROM or kernel. Thanks anyways

What kind of Battery life are you getting? I get anywhere from 6-8 hours with heavy use to 16 hours with light use... Stock battery btw
One time I was playing gangstar Vegas on medium settings with lowest brightness for like 30min and the battery went all the way down to 25%. I started out with 100%. Also even on standby the battery goes down like 15% with WiFi and everything off and airplane mode on. I just don't get it. It pisses me off. The battery lasts me like let's say 8hrs with VERY VERY low usage. Like I'm talking like only maybe 25-50min screen time at like 25 percent brightness.

Sounds like you need the MAXX battery mod. My battery will last in excess of 30 hours on one charge. The battery isn't that cheap, but imo, it was totally worth it.

Best Rom
in my opinion, holoblur 0.9 tuned edition or x 0.9 Pure performance edition, are the most stable and less battery consumption, the other roms left out of the ADH standard features like HDMI mirror. The other functions that handle the other ROMS are esthetic and user support that we like to be playing with our phones giving better appearance.
Hey guys. So went back to stock 4.1.1 and its been great. I'm using the stock kernel. I'll get the maxx battery soon or on black Friday but overall in terms of battery life, stock has it.

So you're not running rocking the "HoloBlur-X ROM PurePerformanceâ„¢ Edition" anymore?
There is no best ROM/Kernel, try them all and see which "best" suits you.

My NOOK still runs stock rom and the software has been updated to 2.1.1. I set 30% brightness and only use it for browsing Internet.
I always turn the Wi-Fi off when I don't use this tablet. But I only got 4 hour battery life from full charge. Is it normal?
That sounds too low. Is it new or refurbished?

Thanks for your reply. My NOOK HD+ was new, not refurbished.
I only installed some apps, as nova launcher, es file explorer and Dolphin browser.
Do you have any idea to improve or recalculate battery?
If you're talking 4hrs of continuous use non-stop it doesn't sound too far off. But if you aren't doing that, which I'm imagining you aren't, it seems low.
How long have you had it? If it's only been a couple days then your battery is still calibrating and will get better.

Run a battery app to see what is using the battery. You could have an application that is keeping the nook from sleeping. You should get better than that. Yesterday I plugged in before bed I checked and I was at 1 day 17 hours with 6 hours of screen time and I still had 41% left. That was 70/30 reading/games.
