Battery

[Diachronic]

Hi all, I just bought a new nexus 7 yesterday. I charged it up, messed around with it for awhile, and set it aside. Picked it up this morning and the battery was stone dead. I didn't power it down, but no apps were running that would kill the battery. Do I have a defective battery or do you have to turn them completely off when you are not using it?

My Nexus 7 will easily get well over 24 hours in stand-by mode. The only time I have seen battery drain like that is in a weak WiFi area where the radio is constantly searching for a signal. Check the battery drain while using it and if you are rapidly depleting it or you continue with stand-by drain seek a replacement.

I would say charge over night the first time. Hopefully you did this

Way too many variables for a definitive answer. What does for a while mean? How much life was left when you shut it down? Like Prime said..does it search for a WiFi signal? Rogue apps?

Downloada battery monitor like battery mix (free). That my eliminate a rogue app.
