Turn iPad off or put in sleep mode?

[anmanwar]

I just put in sleep mode.

Thanks for all the replies. I think I will just leave it in sleep mode.

Sleep mode, battery seemingly lasts forever lol

Damn.

Mine looses 1%/hour on sleep mode. Perhaps I should update to 4.3.2, but I am still hoping for a release of comex 4.3 iPad 2 jb

Do you leave your data on?

I know after checking my T-Mobile account that the iPad consumes small amounts of data even when its in sleep mode. I only turn data on when I need it.

Yes, 3G and Wifi is always on, in case one drops out.

Tonight, both will be turned off for better comparison

If you have wifi at home (obviously I don't know where you are using it) shouldn't it default to the wifi over the 3G....I'm just asking as I don't know.....I only have the wifi model?

Absolutely. The iPad always uses wifi over 3G, even when the wifi network isn't even connected to the Internet. That is the smart iPad I learned to love

Yes, shame it doesn't swtich automatically

In my reply I should of clarified more When my iPad is in sleep mode and away from a Wifi source, it consumes small amouts of data if data is turned on.

I guess this would cause a drain?

The iPad will use 3g when in sleep mode rather than wifi as it uses less power. I have confirmed this by checking my 3G usage. It only shows usage when I know my iPad is asleep.

3G uses less power?? I didn't know that and is good to hear

I am tempted to believe that is actually what is happening, because when the iPad is connected to a wifi without internet access, it still pushes emails when in sleep mode.

However, Apple clearly stated that 3G uses more power then Wifi.

10h browsing over wifi
9h browsing over 3G

so I am not sure, why the sudden change in opinion on Apple's side.

Also apple suggests rebooting every week or so as well

I highly doubt 3G uses less power than WIFI but might be wrong ...
