[nooktablet]

Brightness 25 percent with wifi on and battery drain 1 percent every 5 minutes
The battery was 92 percent at 9 am. Now it's 9:30 am and it's 82 percent
Also yesterday when I went to sleep at 12 pm it was 94 percent until 9 am this morning it was 92 percent and yesterday I put it in power saving mode wifi GPS Bluetooth everything off

maybe, but maybe it's just an app that is behaving badly, do a factory wipe and do not install third party apps, then test again

i didn't do a factory reset, i don't know should i? it's new, and i didn't really follow the user manual: yesterday i got it and put it on charge for 8 hours, but while it's charging i updated the firmware, and downloaded a lot of apps (about 20 apps, no heave games), also because i was so excited so i used it every 5 - 10 minutes every hour while it was charging. basically i didn't leave it charge without using like the manual says "charge at least 8 hours BEFORE FIRST USE"

but i don't think that could make the battery goes this bad. i just ran riptide gp with brightness about 35%, after 2 minutes of playing the game the battery went down 2%, before i played the game i used asus task widget to kill all tasks, also wifi, bluetooth, gps was off, was in balanced mode.

how should i test my battery? i only charged it once, when i contacted asus about first charge question he told me that after first charge use it until it's almost dead and then charge again (like a full charge cycle or something but i don't know what that means). i think i'll contact him again and talk about this battery issues.and everything looks good, apps and games run quickly, riptide runs without lags and water effects look awesome, i don't want to return it, it's a pain, i got it from amazon and i don't even know how to ship the package back to amazon lol (i never shopped online).

Your battery was already a little charged, right? Like 20-30 percent. So the first charge/use was already performed. I usually don't leave the battery that long to charge when I have a new device. Only until 100% then I disconnect it and use it.

I think that the battery reporting lagged a bit, it had drained more than 2% through the night. Also batteries sometime take a bit to set, I recommend draining it to less than 10% once a month and fully charging without interruptions. Disable all bloarware you don't use, get auto airplane mode and autostarts. Also getting the molded buildprop from seanzcream is supposed to help a bit.

no the battery was empty, it had no power i could not even power it on, at first i thought it was dead on arrival, then i made a thread in this forum and someone told me to charge it, after charging it for 2 hours i was able to turn it on, when i asked asus do i really need to charge for 8 hours the first time like the manual says and they said:

It is recommended that you give it at least an 8 hour charge. I mean, if you don't, and charge it only 5 or 6 hours, by no means will it kill the tablet. The point of the charge is to condition the battery, which has been sitting idle for who knows how long. Letting it charge for 8 hours before putting a load on it will extend it's life and lower the chances of you getting a battery that won't hold a charge only a few days in.

When you unbox it, just plug it in and let it charge without powering it up. You can turn it on, it won't hurt it, but try not to do anything on it as it charges the first 8 hours.

that's why i let it charge for 8 hours

The first 5-10 charges are a pain... then it settles down. Ihavent much used it on stock rom but termleechs 4.0.4 aokp so no bloat on board. Just let it load a cpl of times it should settle in after that.

Can you tell me what you mean? Do you mean that the battery will get better after 5 to 10 charges?
