Idle means turned on, but not in use.
I've read in these forums about some memory cards draining the battery. When you "installed a new memory card" were you replacing a smaller one?

Yes, please post specifics (brand, model, speed etc.) on the memory cards. The Nokias are more sensitive to minor differences than laptops etc.

Idle time= 10 days??
No tablet I have ever lasted more than 2 days just siting turned on.
That includes 2- Nokia 770, N800, N810
While I am testing my SD card adapter I installed many cards. The one I am testing now is the Sanddisk 16GB extreme III but this is not what I am after.
I need to know if this is normal battery time for others with any card installed. Then I can work back from there.
Actually the card I am using draw more current than any other card I have tested. This is really why I am asking this question.
Thanks for the reply

I routinely would get 3 days, but could not leave it not being accessed,

Thanks all
I guess the best way to do this is to play the same music on each card and time how long it plays before shutting down. This will give me the reference point I need.
My tablet would go dead in 2 days before no mater what but it could be a software application update that solved the problem.

After a full charge I see 'idle: 10 days' or so. I never leave it idle for very long though but there's no problem leaving the charger back at work over the weekend, even if I use it with wi-fi for a while on Saturday as well as Sunday.

My N800 has been in use for a year. My machine reports battery time left 9 days at idle, 6 hours in use (that is with Bluetooth headset paired and WiFi connected). I have two SanDisk 8G SDHC cards inserted.
I cannot say what the actual "drain time" is before I need to charge it for I usually leave it plugged in when ever I am near a convenient outlet. I have a 12VDC cig. adapter in my car because I'll play music in the car from the N800 and use it with a bluetooth GPS rcvr while driving. Not cycling (draining) the battery needlessly will extend it's overall life.

I have to do some more testing but this never was the case before. Also it is not just installing Diablo since it have been installed on both tablets since the first week of it's release.
I am asking this question because as strange as it sounds I can not find any information explaining what is considered standby or Idle. Is Idle with the tablet powered off?
This tablet have been always connected to WiFi and on and off with bluetooth for 3 days and 5 hours with the xournal file manager running. I use it the same way as before on and off through out the day.
My question: Is this normal and less than this is unusual?
