Dalingrin's OC kernel was rolled in as of n132 - all subsequent builds have it, including n138.

FWIW, my battery life is every bit as good with the latest nightlies as stock, if not better.
[Nook Color General] Sizzlechest:
Wait, why wouldn't the people who put out the various roms already account for that? MIUI 1.7.15.1 is set to 240.
[Nook Color General] MedLine:
you should have waited few months and spend same money for quad core ICS with higher res screen. or at least wait couple months for honeycomb dual core omap 44xx like archos g9. in any event overclock the tegra2 and you're probably going to find battery life not much better than cm7 nook color. good luck to you.
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
Because it's a matter of preference? I have no problem with the NC's default density.

ETA: and a lot of people like a density right around 187, which makes everything a bit bigger without screwing up the status bar, widgets, layouts etc.
[Nook Color General] jlmwrite:
At some point the OP has to make the plunge! You can play the waiting game forever, because the minute you lay down your cash, there will be something newer, faster, and shinier "a few months" away...

As for me, I bought a Galaxy Tab 10.1 the day they hit my local Best Buy so I'd have it for a 10 day trip. I left my NC at home, and was pleased to find the Tab did everything a hot tablet should do. Still, the battery life on it was just about the same as my NC . Not only that but I found out VERY quickly I didn't like the larger form factor. Yeh, I liked the GPS and the camera and all they Honeycomb goodness but in the end the NC with its limitations still does everything I need in a tablet and the 7" size just fits me better in every way.

When I got home, I returned the Tab one day before BB's 14-day return limit with only the tiniest regrets. Everyone has their own preferences. For now, I'm sticking with my NC. I hope the OP loves his Tab, and his g/f loves the inherited NC.
[Nook Color General] michaelg1030:
Similar situation with me. I bought the A500 first week it came out and returned it 14 days later and bought the Nook. I love my Nook. It gets used everyday for a few hours. I feel the Nook's size and weight is perfect.

I'm sure I will be looking toward a new tablet in the future when the 2nd round of android tablets are released with faster processors, more ram, and possibly ICS, but for the time being the Nook (now with Miui) meets all my needs.

But hope you are happy with the Tab, it is a beautiful tablet.
[Nook Color General] FletchF:
I can see owning both 7 and 10 inch tablets. I plan to buy the first good tablet that gets a CM8 build.

[Nook Color General] smutek:
Interesting, I have to charge mine no more than twice a week. I suppose I'm probably the epitome of a light user, though I do use my nook pretty much every day.

I mainly use it as an ereader (duh) reading roughly a book a week, RSS reader for my news feeds, and a little bit of Facebook. I don't do much else with it and have been pretty happy, charging up once or twice a week.

I was bummed with the tiny text size at first as well, then I installed the LCD Density app. (Search the market) and that fixed me right up.

Enjoy your new tablet!
[Nook Color General] Moshe5368:
I'm still trying to figure out what you refer to as poor battery life. Batteries do run down, you know. I am what most folks would call a heavy user in that my nook gets used about 11-13 hours/day. I charge it when I go to bed and use it all day the next day without a charge. This is a combination of reading, netflix, e mail, and reading/responding on 5 forums. I'm retired so I have lots of time on my hands. Oh, and I use usb hosting to download my pictures from my digital camera and save them to flash drives. All this and still over 11 hours of use.

I have looked at and drooled over the Gtab. It is a great tablet and I hope you really enjoy it but I think you will find the battery life to be inferior to that of the nook. Just sayin.....
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
Wow.. i would kill for 11-13 hours of use...

With half screen brightness, i did a web browsing session last night; using a battery stats widget, i was using power at a very steady 20% an hour.. from around 92% to around 15% ~4 hours later...
[Nook Color General] jacjar1:
Thanks for hint set mine to 180...just what an old man needed..also helps with nook edge sensitivity or lack there of....
[Nook Color General] RASTAVIPER:
I spend around 8 hours a day with heavy internet use (FB, Yahoo email, Kaiten, Tatatalk all at the same time) and I still have around 10% left of battery at the end.

So 11-13 hours with a bit less use, doesnt look strange.
[Nook Color General] Moshe5368:
@D-M, I set the governor to on demand, stepping 3,6,8,10,12.5, left voltages stock. I charge overnight (well whenever I go to bed usually about 0100-0230) get up at about 1000 and keep using the nook most of the day (about 75%). Might watch 1 movie on netflix but the rest is games or chats here on the forums. Worst battery life I have had was about 8 hours but I was using host mode and xfering lots of pictures from my camera.
[Nook Color General] elwood1229:
Took it off the charger at 6:30 AM and used it moderately all day (forums, news, email, Facebook, twitter, working on a couple of docs, downloading and installing current nightly but no video or games). It is now almost 11:00 PM and I am still over 70%. Running current nightly off of emmc at 1200 with the newest governor (can't think of what it is called right now). The battery life on this is amazing!!
[Nook Color General] gudism:
What do you class as light use?

i use my NC every night after work, mainly browsing, for probably a max of 3hrs a night. am using n124, and deep sleep is fine, and i probably get a day and a half out of my NC.

I do have PBD still (got it down to 10%) but not sure if that would effect my overall battery life.

I am just inquisitive to know if you have any particular settings to get such awesome battery life.
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
I'm currently approaching 9 days of battery with minimal use.

-Sent from my Droid Incredible-
[Nook Color General] rhester72:
That's stunning...and seems like it may be being misreported. I don't get PBD - mine actually really runs out of juice at the 2-3% mark, so I have good calibration...and even at 25-33% brightness and VERY light CPU use (mostly Aldiko), I'm still consuming about 12% an hour, 10% of which is just the display backlight. Getting the sort of mileage you're seeing seems nearly physically impossible...the capacity just isn't there (4000 mAh is a lot, but not *that* much!).

What's the lowest percentage you've ever seen?

Rodney
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
So, by all of your numbers, i am painfully low (assuming my 20% an hour, that means 5 hours max of actual use). My nook is sleeping perfectly, but battery is painful.

I wonder, is something wrong with my device, or am i seeing the effects of tons fo nightly flashes..

Well, time to backup everything, and start from scratch.
[Nook Color General] rhester72:
20% an hour does seem high, assuming you're not using the performance governor.

What sort of ratio are you seeing in terms of display battery usage vs. everything else (combined)?

Rodney
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
Nope, no pref gov, and I am even using the system undervolted.

Lemme play with the tab for a bit, and ill get back on what i am seeing (i just rebooted after making a backup, so i know what i have is fresh)..
[Nook Color General] elwood1229:
I regularly take it down to around 30%. I am confident the numbers are correct and are reflective of the fact that there was no video or gaming involved. I seldom allow it to go much below 25% and have never had PBD. I use it every day for work purposes and have always gotten much better battery life than my Droid OG I had until recently or certainly the Thunderbolt I have now. I have no complaints whatsoever.

Edit: part of the problem is defining light, moderate or heavy use. Those are extremely subjective terms. What i consider moderate (compared to my typical usage patterns) may be light compared to someone else's or even heavy compared to still another person. When I said my usage yesterday was moderate, I probably averaged about 15 minutes per hour actually using the NC.
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
OK, So i just did a test, of how i would use my nook at lunch, to again find out how my battery use is.

Start: 8:56 - 90%

End: 9:35 -80%

10% / .5 hour (still seeing a very smooth 20% drain).

Activity: Using a WiFi connection from my phone (hotspot), use Opera Mobile, and browse a few web pages (in this case, 3 tabs). Nothing crazy; just load a page, read, change tabs, etc.

Battery use (according to android, for the total of 1H 12M 21s on battery)

Display (40% brightness) 72% (45m on)

Opera Mobile 15%

Cell 4%

Android Sys 3%

Android OS 3%

WiFi 3%

Launcher Pro: 2%

Phone 2%

I think i might make a relevant post in the CM7 gen or dev thread, and see what others are seeing..
[Nook Color General] Moshe5368:
I have never tried to undervolt the cpu. I keep the governor at on demand but my screen brightness is set to about 24%. That is a level I find to be comfortable for me. I just assumed that most folks got 8-12 hrs out of their devices just as I do. It would seem that I was mistaken. Perhaps I have some mutant battery adaptation I was not aware of. I do, however, see very heavy battery drain in host mode. When transfering pictures or playing movies off of a flash drive, the battery seems to lose 15-20%/hr as D_M was saying. Otherwise, battery drain is about 8%/hr.
[Nook Color General] mrkkk:
wow thats amazing

the thing that i like about nook is battery life!
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
Very light, that week--I doubt I got more than 8-10 hours of actual use in those six days, mostly reading in Aldiko with brightness 5-15%, and a little browsing. So, nothing spectacular, just no drain when it was sleeping.

I can only give impressions, but I think I usually get 5-7 hours out of it. I could have sworn a couple times that I got as much as 11 hours reading on low brightness--I was figuring I must have been mistaken, but looking and Moshe's numbers, maybe it's possible.
[Nook Color General] elwood1229:
It would also be interesting to compare battery life for those running off emmc vs those running off SD card?
[Nook Color General] Blue6IX:
I'd be curious to know if there is a difference in battery life between sdnand emmc.
[Nook Color General] Moshe5368:
Well we do know that the entire system runs slower on sd than it does on emmc. That would indicate to me that the system has to use more power to access the micro sd. I would expect to see higher power drains running from sd.
[Nook Color General] dalingrin:
In my experience I get 6-8 hours of use out of the Nook from a full charge. That does not include sleep time. My use is usually a mix of web browsing and sometimes videos.

On a recent plane ride I had wifi off and full backlight and was getting ~10%/hr battery drain while playing a video. The video was using DSP codecs so it would likely be worse with CPU based codecs.

While web browsing I rarely have the backlight very high which definitely helps with battery life.

I overclock to 1.2ghz and undervolt slightly.

For me the battery life is more than sufficient.

SD card installs should have slightly worse battery life but nothing too substantial. This is because the SD card never powers down.

IMO, buying another tablet now would be a huge waste. Wait for ICS and either OMAP4 or Qualcomm Krait. I'd really like to get a dual core Krait SoC in my next tablet. 28nm + Qualcomm engineering = Great performance and battery life.
[Nook Color General] Moshe5368:
I run a utility called ZD box and it keeps up with my battery usage and discharge rate with a fair degree of accuracy. I took a screenshot to post
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
Do we know this? I haven't been keeping close tabs, but it seems like I've seen a comparable spread of benchmarks for both, and I didn't notice any difference in responsiveness moving from SD to eMMC.
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
eMMC is optimized for running an OS SD is not.
[Nook Color General] RASTAVIPER:
Ok I checked at battery monitor widget the history of my battery consumption.

With full internet use I spend around 10%/hour.

Brightness is quite low and I dont play games or listen to music at same time.
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
I will kill to get my usage down to that kind of levels. I have wiped my data, and run my battery till my nook literally shut down; I am letting it charge now; after that, i will update the rom to the latest nightly (142 now), and then try again.

Just out of curiosity, what browsers are you all using?
[Nook Color General] mrkkk:
blanket statements dont mean anything

find a thread that says "all sdcards are not equal"

stick to sandisk
[Nook Color General] MedLine:
don't know why not often mentioned but hardware overlay in portrait mode broken in Tegra 2 honeycomb. see here and here and Google explanation here.

maybe it's fixed in honeycomb 3.2 or maybe it doesn't affect day-to-day use, but this is potential deal-killer bc i use nook 100% in portrait.
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
I know this. Even your sandisk SD card will fail before eMMC. SD cards are in the manufactures mind only used for storage and are treated as so. They do not try to make an operating system run well in their SD cards as only a tiny percent of they're customers will ever use it as such. You can cry all you want about it but eMMC will always beat a SD card at running android.
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
For the record, I'm at 10 days, 10 hours with minimal use, at 26% battery.
[Nook Color General] rhester72:
You do understand that the external SD card uses the exact same type of cell memory as eMMC, correct? The only pragmatic difference is the additional PCI bus that must be traversed to reach the SD card, adding a very slight (read: immeasurable) amount of latency to "disk" operations. The actual performance difference between eMMC and SD is essentially nil with a proper (read: SanDisk Class 4) SD card solution.

Rodney
[Nook Color General] gudism:
You have to be joking! That is insane battery life

You need to define minimal use here.....if I only checked my email once a day for 5 mins, then looked at Facebook for 10mins, I reckon I might get close to 5-6 days. But I would consider that less than minimal.
[Nook Color General] ronjan:
I upgraded to CM7 RC1, but "Spiderman: Total Mayhem" stopped working which used to run amazingly well on my CM 7.0.3 so rolled back to CM 7.0.3 !!

[Nook Color General] AidenM:
Battery battery battery....anyone know if the Flyer has better battery than the Nook Color?
[Nook Color General] RASTAVIPER:
Opera and Dolphin, depending on the sites.

Mostly Opera though
[Nook Color General] elwood1229:
From the various reviews I have read, I don't think any current mainstream Android tablet is rated for much--if any--better battery life than what I am experiencing with my Nook.
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
Yeah, those appear to be blind assertions; your rationalizations about why it must be true don't constitute evidence.

Is there any data comparing eMMC to SD installs?
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
I found this regarding wear leveling on SD cards:
[Nook Color General] troyy0206:
I'll never understand the point of being so defensive when all the OP was doing was saying he's enjoyed his time in the Nook forums and thanking everyone for their time and efforts because he's moving on and won't likely be hanging out in here nearly as much. Doesn't seem like much of a pointless thread because there is some good information in here on battery life and display resolution as well as views on screen size. One of the few threads I've read through and gotten several useful pieces of information quickly.
[Nook Color General] darien87:
What's the point of saying "goodbye" on an internet forum? We're not your family, we're not your friends, we're just some people on a computer. Sorry I don't see the point. I've seen it on multiple forums. Just seems silly to me. The fact that this thread morphed into something else and you got some useful information doesn't change the fact that saying goodbye to people on the internet is silly. Are we supposed to miss the OP? If I were to stop posting on this board tomorrow would anybody notice? Probably not.

Just seems like a waste of time to me. But that's just my opinion.
[Nook Color General] devis:
Yea family friends whatever... what's the point in COMPLAINING in an internet forum? We're not the police, the lawmakers, your senator or the Human Resources Department!

Can we get back to the battery thing now? I was enjoying the discussion until the internet civics police showed up!

How in the world are you guys getting all this battery life?

Since I rooted the NC and installed CM7 I've consistently gotten bad battery life. I get about 3 hours out of it, 1/4 to 1/3 lighting, WIFi on about 70% of the time, minimal games, mostly internet (Dolphin) news apps and reading. Though I am in the habit of charging it every night before bed, I feel I should get better battery life.
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
What version of CM7 are you using? The 7.1 RC has deep sleep enabled and it really helps a lot.

[Nexus S General] reapur:
Hi Guys,

I'm having this problem that is driving me nuts, don't really know how to proceed.

I have a car stereo a Kenwood DNX8120, which has parrot bluetooth hands free. It has worked very well in the past on an LG, SonyEricsson and the Nexus One.

On the Nexus S (I bought this used and rooted with CM7, so I don't know about a stock model) the bluetooth connects, then after some time, like 20 seconds, it disconnects. I can play this game forever, it won't stay connected.

I can use one of two methods to connect

1- put the phone in BT discovery and let the kenwood connect to it, or

2- Have the phone connect to the kenwood.

I've tried both with the same results.

I got a.logcat and I see a whole bunch of red entries at the time this happens but I don't know what to make if it and I don't know how to grab these entries to a file.

I have also tried a phone wipe and installed infin1ty's ROM and also the latest CM nightlies. Same friggin result.

I see in recovery there are options to delete dalvik and data but I don't know if they'll help.

can you guys help?

Thanks
[Nexus S General] scoobdude:
Tried another device. The actual hardware could be messed up on either device causing this. Try your LG again to the radio and the try another headset to to the phone. Last but not least try the stock Rom .

P.s. cm7 had an issue on the evolution where by was not given a unique Mac address which caused issues for me connecting 2 cm7 EVOs (they would over write each other).

Hope that helps
[Nexus S General] reapur:
Hi Thanks for the help.

Both LG and SE phones still work fine. I'm unable to find another nexus s so I dunno if this particular one.

But here's a new discovery.

I paired them using the HU. Now when I start the car, the BT connects then after a bit it disconnects. Well now I can go to the *phone* and manually connect to the kenwood and the connection holds!!! I have no idea what is going on with the autoconnect but it can apparenlty hold a connect if I manually initiate it from the phone.

All this time I had been trying to get the kenwwood to do the manual connection (after the auto connection faills) and that never held.

sigh...
