Hi guys, I have a question. I have a nook since last year and I have always turn it off after reading, but now, thinking better, if this device is like a smartphone (because it uses android, etc.) and at least me I always keep my phone on with the screen locked when I'm not using it, maybe its better for the Nook to keep it always on with the screen locked when not using it, just like a smartphone (I mean for battery life and hardware health).
What do you think? What do you do?

Whoops, I was writing that on my nook color and left it unfinished to write later but I guess it sent without my permission? Sorry about that.
To answer your question, when the nook is locked, the image on the screen wastes absolutely no power, so no need to turn your nook completely off if you are going to not use it for a few hours or even a few days, as long as the battery is high enough, it should last at least a week or more locked before you have to plug the nook back into a charger.

Thank you, I tought was necesary turn it off each time I don't use it, maybe the turning on process over and over consumes more battery than just keep it sleeping just like in a smartphone.

** MOD EDIT **
For clarity, if you have problems booting/charging after battery goes flat, do the below and all will be well:
Leave your phone off
plug it in to charge for approx 30 minutes
unplug it and pop out the battery (so it will boot)
replace the battery
boot up the phone
plug it in while it is booting up.

What did you read??
no it wont, no danger at all.
i have no idea where all the rumours are coming from regarding the fear of MAGLDR and brickage, in fact it is far easier to completely brick your phones in a Windows Mobile envoronment than android through MAGLDR.
although in reality it is very very diffucilt to brick a HD2, once i lost all laptop power during a HSPL flash and it was still fine....
Draining battery / Running NANDroid / Flashing through MAGLDR will never brick a phone. EVER. PERIOD.
the only way people have ever bricked a HD2 is when they have a TMOUS handset (american model only) and flash a 51 radio. And even then it can still be revived through JTAG

It wont brick your phone but you may have to pull the battery to charge it. Some users are claiming that it wont charge and the battery has to be pulled. As long as you have HSPL installed your pretty much bullet proof (dont try it though )
Ricey
but the phone doesnt charge while it is turned off!!
Android is dangerous on the hd2. It won't brick, but it will ruin your touchscreen, not many will tell you though

i think it's because people running their phone with android let it gets way way way too hot and it damage the screen but it can also happen to window also
download tempmonitor and keep it under 102F and you should be good
btw i'm positive a person using android would be on their phone more then a person on window 6.5
oh yeah lmao btw i'm saying from personal experience
before i had android on my device i was using window OS, and screen died on me i think it was because i was watching movies on my phone but ehhhh HTC replace it for me for free (^_~)

Beware magldr:
It's true. If you let the battery die completely, it won't charge anymore. It happened to me. Now I'm waiting for my ebay-bought wall charger for my battery. I just hope that when i manage to charge it, my hd2 still funtions. Cuz letting the battery die while on nand android may cause your nand to get corrupted. Then, you can't even access the bootloader.

Well if that was the case and you was faced with no power then you would simply use a battery charging dock.
So worst case you would be buying a cheap charger.
Oh and to set your mind a rest, it must be bs as ive just turned my phone off and plugged charger in and its charging. Only weird thing is that when I unplug the lead led is still red and I have to remove battery and put it back in to power on phone.
? Never mind. That is not helping in any way..

Hello, android developer here.
The other day my xoom drained all the way to 0% (this happened overnight while I was asleep). I noticed right away because I use the xoom as my alarm clock. I ended up sleeping in that day (doh!)
Anyways, now the darn thing simply wont turn on. I try to soft reset (vol up + power) but nothing happens. I tried plugging it in via usb thinking I could reboot it with adb, but my computer fails to see the device. So its turned off and simply will not turn on. I've even let it charge for 2 days straight (green charge light on device).
Nothing.
What the heck man?
Dumb question.... How long have you held the power button? My Xoom (maybe others?) won't turn on unless I hold the button for 2-3 seconds.
Ive gone up to 60 seconds of button pressing...when it doesnt work one tends to go to extremes lol
I can't believe this, first time I've ever had a device die like this :-/
Did you charge it before you tried to turn it back on? My Milestone tends not to turn on after it drained below zero for like ten minutes until the battery has at least some basic charge again.
Try turning on right 3~4 minutes later putting on a yiur charger

If you really want the iPad, here's the perfect excuse.
However, if you want to save your Xoom, you might want to check out the Motorola Factory cable from Team Black Hat (Google it). If there was ever a use for this cable, your situation seems to define it. Your Xoom seems to think it's not charged (drained) or can't take a charge, but it sounds more like the former situation. The Factory/Programming cable obviously makes a different electrical connection and makes the Xoom think it's charged...something like that. Check it out.
Also, at least one person made one out of a usb cable and it saved his bacon. You'll have to do a search for his thread...it was a while back.
Good luck, what ever you do.
You need to make or buy the motorola factory cable. That will get you booting.

I think my battry have problem becuse i bought the nook color from my friend.
If my battry have problem i think i cant find it in afghanistan thanx friends
1. use the wall charger, it charges real fast. charging from a laptop with the included cable is not a good idea.
2. There are a lot of things you can do to improve battery life, most of which will require rooting and flashing a different ROM besides stock, just so you can get to the settings that make a difference. 5 hours of battery life on a stock NC playing videos is probably about right. I get 10+ hours of video out of mine with extensive tinkering. Far and away the biggest factor is the screen brightness, and beyond that, how bright, on average, is the video. I watch movies with brightness about 9-11%.
thanx mr 72 for replay
i am using cm7 custom rom
So what should i do to do beetter for battry life i am watching vedio in 0% brightness plz help i want to see vedio a bout 10 hours if poossibl thanx
Battery life will be affected by any radios, screen brightness, and CPU clock speed. The nook is not meant be charged over USB, but as you can see, it is possible. If you're looking to get a ten hours battery life, and you've purchased and rooted the wrong tablet. Id say nook color can get anywhere from 5-7 hours based on the above factors.
Mine takes 4 hours but my nook needs to be off to charge. If it is left on even with the screen off and saying charging, the battery is actually going down. Kinda stupid but whatever this thing is cheap greatness lol

NC can certainly get 10+ hours of battery life under normal use, and up to 17+ hours in my experience if you are using apps that require no wifi, low CPU and can tolerate low brightness settings.

That's "on" time.
17+ hours of actively reading ebooks (Moon+ reader in my case, black text on off-white background, no wifi enabled [was on a plane], brightness around 10-15%)
10+ hours of actively watching movies (MX Video Player, movie format varies from 720P to 480P DVDrip h264 and xvids, also no wifi, on a plane)
I say "+" because I quit using the NC and there was remaining battery, so I don't know how long it would have run if I let it run to zero. Check out my guide (in my sig) to see how I set mine up. There are no settings that compromise performance or utility.
I find charge time can vary pretty greatly. Last night i didn't get a full charge with the same settings that I had the night before.. aside from updating to a new nightly. Generally I can charge the device in less than 5 hours if the wifi is off and nothing is running.
I'm going to piggyback this forum as I have been searching over 40 min and this looks closest. Sorry ahead of time.
I also found it takes forever to chafe my nook. I have a droid raze and ourchase local for it so I'm using in my nook to shutbdown the wifi from 1am to 6.am. hmm I may change that to. 12:69 am. It will help with my issue but I still have the the following request.
Wifi seems to be eating up battery life. Does anyone know of a program that will auto off wifi if not used for say at min?
Also for other readers: I found a simple free program called connections (for the bionic connectivity issues) I use it on the nook when there seems to be an issue. I have a shortcut in app launcher so its avail in any program.
Any feedback welcome.

No, but if you leave the defaults, then wifi should be off while sleeping.
Or you can use the status bar pull-down in CM7 to turn it off when you are not using it.
However, I find that it doesn't make a huge difference.

I am using Juice Defender Ultimate on my NC running rooted B&N 1.4.1 for exactly this purpose, and it is working well. I also tried Green Power, but had problems with it.
JD is definitely overkill, since it's meant for device with more radios. You could also use Tasker and set it up to turn off wifi when the screen goes off.

Hi,
I now have a Galaxy S3. Long story short, my Transformer Pad Infinity was awesome but was falling apart due to the quality control of ASUS. And coming from that forum to this one, its a huge difference and this is obviously way more popular. Now I have a few questions regarding my Galaxy S3 which is awesome so far btw. I have had a look around the forums and these are the questions that I have thought of plus a few of my own.
#1. Battery life: Its only had 3 charges but I haven't gone right down to about 0 yet. Is it the same as my tablet and will require a few charge cycles before I get my full charge capacity or am I expecting to much coming from a wi-fi only device?
#2. I just saw this grey notification bar thing today and how it is supposed to reduce screen burn on the screen. I am not worried about it changing to black but is the screen burn going to actually get that bad. I am planning on keeping this phone for probably about 2 years depending on money but I would like to think I am safe from the screen becoming ****.
#3. Is there a way to basically eliminate touchwizz without rooting or unlocking. I mean like replace the settings and launcher and lockscreen. I did root and unlock my Transformer Infinity too soon and that caused me to run into trouble with warranty so I would like to hang on a bit before I unlock this device to run some awesome ROMs.
#4. Any real tips or tricks or must haves for the S3 that I should have?
I think I had more questions which I may ask later but this is what came to my head at the moment.
Thanks,
Andrew
Oh yes, that other problem is that most of my apps seem to be going off the network time which is wrong. 13 hours wring in facy and not my phone time. Any ideas for that one?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
#1: I think so. The battery should become more stable and give you full battery life after a couple drain/charge cycles.
#2: I had my captivate for well over a year and never saw any "screen burn". It can be an issue but I think you'll be safe for the time you have your phone. 2 years shouldn't be a problem at all.
#3: You can change the launcher.. there are some that don't require root.
#4: Take advantage of the NFC and maybe check out S3's exclusive accessories. Not really a must have but the dongle is nothing short of awesome!
..Congrats! And wrong section btw. This belongs in q&a

A thought on the network time issue, have you change the time zone to be the timezone for Eastern Standard time? That might fix the issue. If not you should be able to turn the network time off in the settings (under date and time), I have to do this because Vodafone don't send me the time.

The battery you need to let it gone down to zero and full charge a few times before you can get max power.
A long time myth for me which i have always been unsure about is is it OK to let it charge overnight. I have heard heat is what kills these batteries and heat is produced during charging. I think everyone does it but would just like to be sure.

And you haven't seen much of decrease in battery life? Also just ran the screen through a colour test and I notice on black it shows up as having darker blotches only visible in low light but would this be a sign of something to come? And the last niggle i hope to fix us the slowish WiFi. Pretty sire my infinity was quicker and it had more pixels to render for. Other than that, loving the phone.

When my battery reaches 5% the screen dims (probably to the lowest brightness possible) so much that when outside the phone is not usable because I can't see anything and the brightness slider from the notification bar disappears. Is there a way to disable this? btw power saving is turned off.
Also does anybody knows if the phone slows down cpu/gpu when on low battery because I've been playing some games on low battery and I think they were a bit "laggy" but power saving was turned off.

I hate this feature as well, but it's on all phones that run android
It's built into the system
At 5% power, brightness goes to minimum
It's good feature, but when you have extended battery, it's really annoying with still a lot of power left. Screen becomes pretty dark.
And the fact that power of extended battery does not show correctly, it's 5% us not even like 10, but could actually be like 20, makes it even a bigger problem

There's no actual way to override low power at 5%
It's built-in android.
If you really need backlight, get app in market, called adjbrightness, that's one word.
It can override brightness to any percentage you details yourself, it actually guess from 0-255, but it won't Activate auto brightness, since that blocked by android due to low power.
So just use that apply if you really need more light on screen till next charge cycle.

Example remove enabled 5% lowest brightness from the system and identifying what the name of the file of system thats corsing the problem.
worked for me!
Wow you are my saviour. I've been having a problem with my battery showing a fualty value after rooting my galaxy tab 4 with stock ROM and kernel. My battery always reads 1% even though I charged it not too long ago. I can finally use my device again! Thanks so much!
Thanks Vlad2277

There's no actual way to override low power at 5%
It's built-in android.
If you really need backlight, get app in market, called adjbrightness, that's one word.
It can override brightness to any percentage you details yourself, it actually guess from 0-255, but it won't Activate auto brightness, since that blocked by android due to low power.
So just use that apply if you really need more light on screen till next charge cycle.

This works great on rooted Galaxy Note 4 with stock rom. I'm using a zerolemon battery on it and it stays at 1% for hours. Finally a way around the screen dimming issue. Thank you.
I'm so relieved just to discover at least ONE person disturbed by this one most absolitely damming function
