I've purchase and used this to get 'regular' android onto my HD+

I'm really pretty happy with it with the exception of two things.
Strange Wifi behaviour.
The WiFi seems to go off after the screen has been asleep for 10 - 15 mins. As a result, I don't get any emails when the screen is off. This does not happen on my ipad3 or my Nexus 7. Is this normal for this Nook?
Battery consumption.
I'm getting around 6 to 6.5 hrs of battery life with the brightness on 20% or so.
The strange thing is that Wifi and Tablet Idle seem to be consuming far more power than the screen. The attached pix were taken when the screen-on time was around 3 hrs.
On my Nexus 7, the Tablet Idle and Wifi seem to consume far, far less power than the screen. Can anyone suggest what's causing this?
Other than these problems, it's fantastic to use this tablet with stock android (or as close as this version is!). I really feel that it's a very under-rated and frequently over looked. I wouldn't touch it with stock B+N junk on it though!
