Do you keep your Nexus 7 always ON?

[Chocoburger]

Current uptime is 319 hours. However after around hour 150 I started noticing glitches on the home screen. I'm sure if I rebooted that they would go away, but I don't want to reboot!

I've always had the goal of getting my Droid Charge to 1000 hours of uptime (!), but everytime I got close, I ran into some sort of problem. Like GTA III froze my phone, or I had to give the phone to my Dad to use when he broke his Droid X. Just constant things stopping me from reaching 1000 hours. I think the highest I reached on the Charge was around 700 hours.

I'm sure the N7 can do 1000 hours and even 2000 hours (!!!), but the home screen glitches are annoying. Nothing will properly update now. For example, Plume (twitter app) used to update on the home screen but after around 150 hours or so, it has stopped.

Also power widgets (shortcuts to WIFI and screen brightness) do not properly update. The WIFI light on the widget is always turned on, regardless if WIFI is being used or not. Stuff like that just isn't working properly anymore.

I had a few bouts with lag as well, but I think it stopped when I closed a bunch of game programs I had running.

I leave mine on all the time, but I try to reboot it every couple of days.

Airplane mode when I go to bed.

Screen off when I'm not using it, but always on.

I keep mine on as well. I haven't had any reason to turn it off.

Always on and the only time I have turned it off was when I knew I wouldn't use it for several hours, which has only happened a couple of times since I've got my N7. I haven't had any issues at all.

On 24/8 if I could . During the day she is propped up on my BT Logitech keyboard (cover of keyboard acts a stand, sweet) - I use Tablet Talk as I text a lot for work and the BT keyboard coupled with my N7 and Tablet talk is a pure joy. At night I read with it until I fall asleep my phone has been relegated to 2nd tier except in the car.

Just like my phone' it stays on all the time. My Nexus 7 has been on for just over 21 days now without a reboot.

Mine is always on, and I never reset it.

Same here. I haven't reset it since I've gotten it. Its only been a week or so, so far, but I usually keep it on. If I'm not using it though I'll let it fall asleep.

I've only restarted mine when it needed to. I suppose that when I fly I'll have to turn it off. It's not a goal or anything - more like laziness and impatience.

Just like my phone I turn it completely off when I charge it and I will turn it off if I am going to be away from it for several hours

Always on. What's the point having an instant use device if you have to wait for it to wind up every time you want to use it?

I power it off before I go to sleep, and whenever it's not in use for a while during the day.

I try to conserve as much power as possible out of the Nexus 7, knowing that the enclosed battery has a finite number of charges & discharges.

That battery is replaceable and really easy to do from the videos I've seen on YouTube. It is also gigantic and accounts for much of the N7's internals. It looks like a heavy duty battery, hopefully It will last a while.

I never turn mine off. Never have with any of my tablets, phones, iPods, etc. Sleep is enough. I reboot my devices about once a week. Not on schedule or anything, just when I think about it or it's misbehaving.

Always on here!

 

[adamfrayne182]

Always on. I have maybe shut it down twice so far lol.

 

[kendallc123]

I've kept mine on, unless I'm flashing a rom I'm thinking maybe I'll restart it like some of y'all do just to see if it helps
