[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] ieatabiscuit:
I agree completely, this beta is smoother, faster, and less glitchy than the CM11 nightly builds. As for the bluetooth pairing, so far, it has passed my gambit. I have paired it to a Pebble, an UP band, a keyboard, and a few different speaker sets. I have not tried pairing it to my car, and to a DS3 controller yet, but that's purely because I am either too lazy, or because I almost never have my tablet in the car. I would imagine that the few bluetooth issues that ARE there are primarily from CM's upstream issues. I have never had a CM ROM on any device run flawless BT pairings, but it's getting better. Any other abuse I can put this ROM through has been trivial for it to handle though. Battery life is fine too.

Ok, so for everyone with battery issues after they let it run down: I am currently doing an experiment with my own for all of you! I have let mine run completely down to the point of shutting its self down, and it will not turn on. It's dead Jim! Last night I plugged it in, green light came on, then went to orange, and screen lit up with battery icon with charging icon (lightning bolt) in the middle of the screen. I then pressed the power, and had no reaction of any kind, as expected given that it's dead. I then held the power button down, and the screen shut off. Upon inspection, so did the orange light. I then allowed it to remain this way over night, mostly because the screen being on to show it's charging would keep me awake. This morning, I unplugged it, and got ready to do some flashing. The tablet would not turn on, same as before I started. I then plugged it in, and same icon in the center of the screen came up, and the light also flashed from green to orange same as before. It was acting exactly as it did last night when I started. So far, I have learned that if you turn it off from this state, it will not charge, it's weird, but fully discharging a nook is just asking for a fun time anyway. I am now letting it charge with the screen, and orange light on. Thus far, there is no heat, flashing lights, or anything concerning to report. It has been charging for about an hour as of this post. I will update so we can have details on a specific method to recover from a full discharge.

Update: Upon unplugging, the light went off, and the icon in the center of the screen remained. The power button seemed unresponsive. I held the power button down and (as expected) the screen shut down as before. I then tried to turn it on, and it immediately booted, and began it's loading process. Once booted, it is showing that I am at 48% power, and giving no issues to mention.

My suggested method would be to plug it in, insure that the orange light is on, even if the screen is not, and let it charge. If the orange light is not on, it is not charging. If the green light is on, and it stays green, then while leaving the charger plugged, press and hold the power button until it COMPLETELY shuts down, still while plugged in. Once shut down, press the power button (may have to hold for a couple seconds) until the light flashes green then orange, and the screen should turn on with the charging icon in the center. Once you are in that state, walk away. Let it do it's thing for at least an hour, if not more. If the light is green after a few hours, then grats, it's full, if not then it's still charging, but it will be functional. You will likely have to do a force shut down, and then turn it back on for it to boot from that state, but now you have a method, and some points to look for.
