I saw a similar problem, so I turned off "Google's location service" (Settings->Location services->Google's location service) and everything improved quite a bit. My Wi-Fi would turn off in sleep mode and my partial wakelocks looked better. (See BetterBatteryStats) However, this made it so...

FYI, I turned off "Google's location service" (Settings->Location services->Google's location service) and everything improved quite a bit. My Wi-Fi would turn off in sleep mode and my partial wakelocks looked better. (See BetterBatteryStats) However, this made it so Google Now wouldn't work...

In those 4 days 6 hours, you didn't happen to drill down and see what your screen time on was, did you?

No, I have yet to let it run all the way out. Since the battery is lithium ion, this is bad, right? "One of the worst things you can do to a Li-ion battery is to run it out completely" Ask Ars: What is the best way to use a Li-ion battery? | Ars Technica

Post your details and screen shots. I, for one, am not sure if I am getting good battery life. Perhaps others are unsure. We can compare and discuss. Is this good or bad? 19h 8m 24% remaining 4h 46m screen on (seems low, not the 8+ hours I would hope for...) WiFi is set to turn off when locked.

Re: $25 free google play credit: What apps/games did you buy with My favorite pasta shape is ziti And I haven't decided yet what to spend my credit on

I prefer board game implementations, such as Androminion/Dominion Shuffle and Condado. Both are excellent and free. I wish we could get Le Havre and Puerto Rico and Tigris & Euphrates in Google Play.

I bet the percentage of units that have this glass separation is very large. I posted this same thing in another thread, but it looks like the arstechnica review has a picture that shows the screen lifting on the left side, although it is not mentioned at all...

Does the picture from the arstechnica review show the same screen lift problem that so many other people are seeing? I think it shows here: http://cdn.arstechnica.net//wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nexus-7-nfc.jpg Divine intervention: Google’s Nexus 7 is a fantastic $200 tablet | Ars Technica...

The upper back corner, near the power button, was separating from the unit. I couldn't get the back to snap back on and, even worse, it would cause the entire back to almost come off, exposing the innards. I returned it to Staples. I'm disappointed that the Nexus 7 seems plasticy and and cheap...

Google launching the N7 is like the situation my wife is going through being 8+ months pregnant. She knows the baby is coming soon, probably any day, but not sure exactly when. Biggest difference: a Nexus 7 tablet will not have dirty diapers to change.
