I've had my Nexus 10 for about a week now. The battery has been lasting through the day and I usually charge it overnight. Is it ok that I power it off every night to charge? or would it be better off left on?
And just to provide an opposing (kind of) opinion -
I have always turned all of my computing equipment off when I am not using it (VoIP server stays on 24/7). So I see no reason to change my habits just because I've added a tablet to the fold.
I don't just turn it off at night, I power down every time I stop using it.
Now, had I ever actually seen any recommendation from the manufacturer then yes, I would follow it. I just never saw such a thing browsing the provided leaflets.
From reading this thread I get the idea that it is OK to "top the battery off" each and every night, even if it has run only part-way down. Is that a correct interpretation?
I would recommend charging it how the manufacturer and Google intent it to be charged. with the tablet switched on.
battery calibration works better when the tablet is switched on.
Where did you see this statement? I found this page but it doesn't say that:
Charge the battery - Nexus Help
"The tablet charges faster when you?re not using it." implies its turned on
That still doesn't mean that the manufacturer recommends charging the device when it is turned on. It just means that it will charge faster if you are not using it (which is fairly obvious).
I could ask the same question. are there instruction by the manufacturers to switch off the tablet while charging?? No there isnt.
that simple implies just charge the tablet when battery is low.
Isn't ideal to reboot after you've installed /uninstalled a bunch off apps?
I rarely suggest turning off *any* device.
... Did Google/Samsung really say that somewhere or did you just make it up?
Replace 'ideal' with prudent and I would agree.
