Nexus 7 Help / Re: Chrome icon replaced by Android icon
« on: November 05, 2012, 01:32:08 PM »
Same thing happened to me, but only for the Chrome icon on my home page.  The Chrome icon in the "apps" page (can't remember what the official name is), still had the chrome icon.

Nexus 7 General Discussion / Nexus 7 32GB Battery Run Time
« on: November 05, 2012, 01:16:12 PM »
Just wanted to report for those of you that are interested.

I saw this battery run time on Tom's Hardware that reported a battery run time of 9:40 for a movie with 100% brightness and 50% audio.
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nexus-7-test-jelly-bean,3249-6.html

Tom's test was done with an 8GB model and not with a 32GB model so I decided to run my own test.

Configuration:
-  Nexus 7 32GB running 4.1.2
-  Brand new configuration - no apps other than what was preloaded
-  Downloaded Transformers (as transcoded by the Play store

My unit ran for 9 hours 22 minutes  So Tom's test ran for 3% longer than my test.  Probably within normal variation.  I'm not complaining.

Caveats:
-  I did have to shut the unit down over night, so whatever power the unit drew when the unit was powered off was not calculated into the run time.  Note:  When I shut it down, I was at 62% battery, when I turned it back on the battery read 62%.

Notes:
-  Mine is the 32GB model so theoretically more RAM consumes more power to refresh (albeit I am sure negligible amounts of power extra), but in this case, I don't know how much that impacts.  I really don't know how much more RAM that 16GB (if any) was used to play the movie.  I doubt any.  Maybe this accounts for the 3% variation?

Anyway, for those curious, those are my numbers for what it's worth.
