So after this annoyance I set the wifi to "never timeout". This it seems was a big mistake. After a full charged, I used the note lightly for an hour or two and had about 80% battery left when I clicked to standby. The next morning the battry was flat. Now you may think I have hundreds of emails or loads of onedrive documents. I don't during the time the battery flattened itself, I had 4 emails and no onedrive documents updated. I wasn't impressed to say the least
Keep the radios on only when you use them. It does not matter if you do traffic or just leave it on: they drain battery.
And services do too even when on standby, so we normally have the tablet turn itself off after some timeout (I have seen paradigm Google tablets suffer the same).
