No problem, thanks for taking the time to write it up now!

About the only thing is the length of time for the sleeping. The longest was about 10 hours. There might be something happening with longer times. Maybe the device wakes and does something after 12 or 24 hours.

Interesting thought! I charged my replacement Glo (Glo II) to 100% and unplugged, and it stayed an 100% all day in sleep mode (acutually: I synced it, and it dropped to 98%. Then I restarted it, and it went back to 100%...
and then stayed there all day). I checked in the (early?) evening, still 100%. When I woke up this morning, first thing I did was check: it had dropped to 83% and then to 82% when I was looking at it. So all day 100% was around or probably under 10 hours of sleep time. Then from the last check in the evening to the next morning was definitely more than 10 hours sleep time. Perhaps about 12 hours counting from 19:00 (7 pm
) but 19:00 is a guess, it was probably earlier.
However, what would it be doing after 12 or more hours? In any case something that older devices (my olde Touch for instance) don't do, on the same firmware..........

Certainly nice. I put your data into my analysis sheet
- Total % decrease per hour: 0.23
- It should last you 428.27 hours; or 18 days
- If you're still on your current charge with comparable usage, you'll have to charge on March 1st at 05:36*
Thanks David for going through the trouble of noting down your results, and for sharing! Your results aren't as nice as my olde Touch, but definitely much better than VelvetElvis' & my experiences with our Gloes.

Oh wait. This isn't true. This is assuming you started with 100% on 11 Feb, which you didn't.
