So I think going forward I will be shutting it off, but I would have liked to have the option whether the auto timer puts it to sleep or shuts it off. I know they removed the auto off because people were complaining, but I don't know why an option couldn't have been put in instead.
Yeah, I'm on my 5th day using power off rather than sleep for my experiment and it is still showing full charge. Looks like power off will win. I'll carry on and complete the experiment so I'll know how long it goes. (Sleep went 11 days).
