No not quite the case. I'm saying I have intermittent occurences where the unit does not transition into full power-off mode, instead staying stuck in sleep mode. When that happens, that is when I also experience a large battery drain. However, I cannot predict WHEN this will happen as so far it's random. All I can say is on average it will occur roughly twice a month. (This is why the problem is frustrating as it's hard to diagnose a fault that's inconsistent!)

A fair point. It could be that when it fails to trigger a full power-off then I may end up experiencing what you and others are reporting (certainly this would be more consistent). I assumed that the failure to trigger a power-off and the heavy battery drain were aspects of the same fault. Perhaps this isn't the case and it could be two faults as you suggest. I'll try this for a few days to investigate. Perhaps you could try setting an explicit power-off to test the impact on battery life as well?

Unsure - and it's not proven until I have a month under my belt at least, so it could prove to be a red herring. Let's see what the above shows us.
