Thanks. The reason I'm asking is that my experience with this change over the last few days has been mixed. If I don't use my device at all (it's Fall Break for our University), it will end the day with 80% charge after starting at 100%, so standby is draining 20% over the course of about 14 hours, which might actually be a little better than it was before I made the change.

On a couple of days when I used the device with this change, however, I noticed some strange behavior. Once, I was using the device for a phone call and before the phone call I was at 60%. I ended the call and turned the phone off. 1/2 hour later, the phone was indicating that the battery was completely discharged. I also noticed something similar on another day - was playing teeter for 15 minutes and phone was at 70% when I started. Finished, turned off the device, and the battery was dead an hour later.

Definitely did not notice this with a couple of weeks of using the device without this change. Will probably change it back tonight to confirm my observations.
