I am glad I'm not the only nut with problems. I am seeing the same quick drain that you are. In the last 2 hours the battery has drained 50%. I have never needed to use any battery minder type apps in the past. I've had everything running without issue. Now, the processor is constantly running so the device back is hot, and it also lags. BBS is showing "Awake" at 100% over the past 2 hours, even though the phone has been asleep, which is draining the battery.

Seems our problem is likely some version of this:

Probably a random corrupt file in an app update over the past couple of days that is causing a loop.

Do you have HD Widgets installed? I noticed there was an update this morning and it mentioned the bug was CPU spikes. My Nexus seems to be behaving again, time to remove HD Widgets I think.

welcome to my world. if I don't touch my phone, it will consistently die in 9 hours. even if there is no sim card, it will die in you guessed it, 9 hours. now if I'm regularly using my phone, like I have for the last 45 min, it'll be dead in about 2-3 hours. I've done almost everything except revert to stock and I'm pretty convinced it's a hardware issue. I can't wait til the new nexus/x phone comes out. these screenshots are me on WiFi by the way. ****TY BATTERY LIFE. my screen brightness is on the low end of the spectrum as well.

Although wiping the phone improved my battery life also, unfortunately got worse just after a few days. And I didn't install any apps that auto receive notifications (Facebook, Twitter, news apps, etc).

So really aside from turning your phone off pretty much 9 hours is the most you can hope for.

Besides, it still seems terrible battery life.

I don't think it should be like that even with mobile network.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jboz:
So, after several days of haywire battery consumption, I am back to normal. The original problem was that Google app and Android OS related services were constantly running. I did not have the patience to systematically delete and reinstall apps step by step, but I can only conclude that the issue was caused by one of three apps: 1. I uninstalled Google+ and have not reinstalled it since I dont use it much. 2. I uninstalled GMail and reinstalled it. I doubt, however, that this was the problem as the latest GMail update was running fine for 10 days before I had a problem and there were no changes to the GMail app in the interim. 3. I uninstalled HD Widgets. I found a post from another person who had the same problem with constant awake status and he had found a link to HD Widgets. I believe there was an app update the day before I started having the problem, and then a few days later there was another update that was supposed to fix CPU spikes and related issues. I have not since loaded HD Widgets. Thanks for all your comments and suggestions.
[Nook Touch General] SifuFunkMaster:
Hey everyone,

I rooted my NST Glow for the first time about a month ago and I was an idiot and didn't take a back up first. In the process I managed to totally mess it up. It got so bad that it was bricked and wouldn't boot no matter what I tried. Eventually I decided to try taking a backup of my wife's NST with glow and restored that to my Nook. That worked and allowed me to do a wipe, then root it properly etc. So everything was working and seemed good to go.

Today I was rooting my wife's nook and in the process put it online. At some point it said that there was an authentication error and it rebooted the nook and wiped it to factory.

I restored her nook from the fresh backup I took and it is back up and running, however it is unrooted and offline. My guess is that I cloned her nook's ID to mine when I restored from her backup and now B&N thinks that our nooks are the same device and registered to two different accounts. Thus anytime hers gets online it will get wiped.

Is there any way to reset my Nook's device ID or w/e so that it is unique again? How do I fix this problem?

And yes I learned my lesson and take backups regularly now.
[Nook Touch General] speedman2202:
unfortunately mate , we dont have any method to recover thr Rom partition that have ur unique files like nooks ID and MAc address and serial and etc , so i think if u dont have any chance to find an backup for ur device , then noway mate

but , u can use one device for online purpose and other offline always and for ever until u got recover ur original Rom partition

sry for ur loss mate , but try to remember that u take backup or anything or ur nook just will be used offline only

good luck
[Nook Touch General] rmkenney12:
You could always try using Noogie to get at the rom partition - the S/N and MAC address are just text files

down in the devconf subdirectory on the rom partition. Nothing special, except no line termination.

If I were doing this from linux/Ubunto, I would try something like this after booting Noogie and attaching the

nook to my laptop, and assuming that Ubuntu mounted the Noogie-presented rom partition as /media/ROM:

echo -n "XXXXXXXXX" > /media/ROM/devconf/SerialNumber

echo -n "XXXXXXXXX" > /media/ROM/devconf/DeviceID

echo -n "58611Axxxxxx" > /media/ROM/devconf/MACAddress

If you log into your account on www.bn.com, go to manage your Nook, and put the pointer over the nook in

question, it will show you the S/N registered to that particular device associated with your account.

Of course, you say that you re-registered the nook, but if you're lucky, it will show up as a different device

under the management window(since it probably presented a different S/N from the original). Just ignore

the device with the S/N that matches what's in your cloned ROM(that S/N belongs to your wife). Hopefully

the original is still showing up as another Nook, which will have your original S/N. Put that into the

SerialNumber and DeviceID files.

As far as the MAC address, other than the 58611A prefix, which you need to leave the same(it's the manufacturer

code), pick a different series of six hexadecimal digits that are different from what you already have.

The MAC address only needs to be different from any other device attached to the same WiFi router.

If you pick something at random, you know it'll be different from your wifes Nook, and you've got a good

chance that you won't match anybody else that you're sharing a Wifi router with(at home, or the BN store, etc).

They must be 6 hexadecimal digits, and I would keep any alpha characters uppercase. Or you could just

pick 010101 ;)

What do you have to lose? I'm just guessing that this will work, but at this point what other options do you

have?

PS: If you do try this, please keep us updated.
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
Sure you can fix the serial number and mac address but you can't recover the public key and private key hash you need to authenticate with B & N. Fixing the serial number and mac address will keep you from messing up your wife's B&N authentication and allow you both to be on the same WiFi access point at the same time. But its unlikely you'll get B&N Authentication to work with the native NST apps. But you might be able to install the Nook app from the Market and use that to read your B&N books.
[Nook Touch General] rmkenney12:
So this has already been tried, and it's known that the public/private key is used

to identify the specific Nook(not simply used for comm encryption to the BN server)?

If it were being used to identify the Nook shouldn't there have to be a full private key

half, as opposed to simply the hash? The only full "piece" of a key that I see is

the public half of the key, which you wouldn't normally use to specifically identify a

device.

Even then, even if it's a device identifier rather than a pre-loaded SSL or comm pubkey

for connecting securely to the Nook server(s), do we know that B&N has matched that

key to the device S/N, and keeps that matchup in a DB somewhere?

If not, then it should be possible to create a new key. You may lose the original registration

info, but re-registering should be possible.

Has anybody actually tried this yet?

...

Hmm, I just diff'ed the Pubkey in the rom backups for my NST and NST Glow, and

they're different, which doesn't make sense if it's an SSL/Comm pubkey being

used to connect to the same B&N server(s).
[Nook Touch General] SifuFunkMaster:
Thanks for the responses guys. It looks like I have made an erroneous assumption. I stumbled across this thread which says that the Nook Color Tools causes the factory reset, and that is exactly what I was doing when her nook reset on me.

I assumed that it was because I put the nook online for the first time since restoring mine with her image and B&N detected that they had the same ID or something.

When I get a chance this week I will check the serials and stuff in the ROM partition on both the nooks and see if they are the same or if mine is still unique from hers. The B&N website is only showing one nook under my account but says it was registered Sept 2, 2012 (long before I rooted it) and it lists a serial number there, so I am hopeful that my nook is still unique, and if not I may play with it and see if I can return it to the original serial. If I lose the ability to sync to B&N that isn't a big deal since I only have one book on my account (I sideload all my books through Calibre).

I'll let y'all know what I find out.
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
Here's a Nook Tablet users experience with restoring the serial number and mac address. Bottom line is he couldn't authenticate with B&N after restoring the serial and mac. He ended up lucky and got B&N to replace it under warranty.
[Nook Touch General] speedman2202:
serial number can found in the NST original Box , or u can found it when u look in memory card slot

for Mac address , i dont know how , but u can use cheat one , for how to edit , add this info to Rom partition , i dont know

good luck

I faced a same situation and now my nook become normal :victory:
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
That thread tells you how to save your ROM partition before overwriting it with a backup from a different Nook and then replacing the ROM partition with your backup. Unfortunately, it appears the OP had already restored a backup of another Nook before saving his ROM partition so the procedure on that thread is unlikely to do any good at this point.
[Nook Touch General] SifuFunkMaster:
Yah, unfortunately I did not back up my own ROM partition before writing a new one. I tried putting in my serial and changing the MAC address, but as in the other thread I could not register with B&N as I'm assuming the private keys don't match my serial (as they came from my wife's nook). So unless someone figures out how to recover or generate a new private/public key pair that will work with B&N's servers, I'm stuck with a cloned nook.

It's ok though because I side load all of my books and don't need to have it online or anything. So, it is working just fine for my purposes at this point.

I have an idea. Have been playing with an excellent Debian based Linux release called Knoppix. These very clever guys managed to squeeze pretty much all you need in a Linux machine on to a bootable CD. For all the Linux-phoebics out there, here is your chance at experimenting at no risk...

Simply go to http://www.knopper.net/knoppix-mirrors/index-en.html and get an iso for the latest 3,3 release. After burning this image to a CD simply boot your PC with it and there you go! If you are like most other people out there with fairly new hardware all will go fine and you will have a working Linux machine that does not touch your harddisk at all and runs totally on the CD Rom.

Now, lets come to the Picnic Basket idea... Knoppix allows you to change the contents of the CD and then make your own release. Similar concept to our good old kitchen really. I am thinking of putting the whole kitchen on the Knoppix CD image and then making the iso's available for others to burn and go cooking on the move...

Does anyone think this is wrong in anyway? Don't want to offend the XDA Developers or the Knoppix makers or current Kitchen operators. I can also make use of any help I can get on this mini-project. Any takers?
