Nexus 7 Battery - Awesome!

[Natey2]

I bought the Nexus 7 because I wanted a good Android device. My DroidX phone was with me most of the time so that's what I used most often. Then, I upgraded my phone to a Samsung Galaxy S4 which is faster than the N7, has a nicer (but smaller) screen, and is with me all the time, so that's what I use primarily now.
My N7 is under-utilized; I typically use it over the weekend for reading and playing limited games (flight simulator, etc.).

I'll try to get some numbers on the app list, charging frequency, etc. and post an update.

Good to see you using your tablet for posting to the Forum. How about your laptop, are you still lugging it around?

I typically use the 2012 Nexus 7 running Android 4.1.2 on weekends.
23% battery remaining after 13 days 6 hours:

Mostly in deep sleep though:

Which would indicate that the core Android 4.1.2 is very battery friendly. Someday I'll upgrade to Android 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 and see if those are just as battery friendly.
It would be a real travesty if I can't restore this 4.1.2 again, and that's why I am holding off on any upgrades.

My Windows 7 Core i7 laptop is in hibernation most of the time.
Kinda heavy to carry it around unless I have to.
I have desktop PCs at work.

Absolutely amazing. Although, I guess that if I wasn't going to use my Acer for an extended period of time, (a week or so, I guess) I'd just power it off. But, hey, that's just me.

My battery charging time... Notice how it charges from 14% to 100% in 3 hours (using my Samsung Galaxy S4 charger), and how it charges at well over 1.2A until 90-95%, then it charges at a slightly lower current to protect the battery. Awesome:
