do you leave your TP on when not in use?

[jackmei2]

simple question, do you leave your TP on when you're not using it? I haven't turned mine off since powering it on for the first time, but I've noticed lately after the last update even when I'm not using it, it's draining the battery, maybe about 10% every 8 hours. so do you guys turn it off when you go to sleep, work, eat, etc?

I leave mine on all the time

Mine was using battery quickly as well, but I solved the problem by turning wifi off when the screen is off. Beats the hell out of me why this isn't the default (it is on my iPad). settings> wifi> click three dots in upper right> advanced> keep wifi on during sleep> choose only when plugged in or never

ah yea, I forgot about turning off the wifi when the screen is off. thanks!

also, somewhat of a related question, but is it a known issue that the battery usage in the settings menu doesn't report what is using the battery?

I usually turn it off if I will be away from it for an extended period. I don't normally take it to work, so that's 8-10 hours day it doesn't need to be on. Likewise the 7 hours a night that I'm sleeping. I only have to charge 2-3 times a week, if that much.

I don't think I've turned mine off twice in the past month.

Mine's never turned off. I don't even worry about rebooting, since the random reboot takes care of that.

My wife turns off her 101 all the time. Her's is never on.

Stays on all the time.

I guess it was the last update caused something to drain my battery. because before that, I left it on without having to recharge it for days.

hopefully today's update fixed that!

Don't see a reason to turn it off tbh.

is there an app or hack that will allow you to schedule wireless setting on/off times?

There's a setting to turn off wifi when the device is sleeping, that's what I'm using. There are a number of Android automation apps available in the marketplace (Tasker is a well-known one, but there are others) that will allow you to configure simple and complex behavior rules along the lines of "during this time, do this thing," "when I launch this app, do this other thing," and so forth. If you have a newer Motorola device it's along the lines of Smart Actions.

This is a very powerful app that will do this easily. There is a learning curve so just FYI be prepared to do some reading
