I think that is soft reboot, normal reboot should have the "Rebooting Tablet" pop up, soft reboot doesn't erase the data on RAM while hard reboot does.

No harm of doing that?

Yea no harm, soft reboot is also a type of reboot to quickly reboot Android to refresh the new applied settings on system app/framework etc without having to erase all the data in the RAM and reboot the board.

My nexus with 3G on 24/7 drains a lot of battery juice even on standby. Any of u guys experience this?

I recall benny's nexus is not running on stock kernel.
You can always turn on aeroplane mode when not in used.

Thanks bro

Yeah I know but I wish to be like Benny. Enjoying the 24/7 3G on without worrying the drain. But I recalled he said even unrooted device also can accomplish this 2%. If I keep to stock kernel, what shall I do to achieve that low consumption of battery juice?

Try battery saver apps like "juice defender"?

Thx bro. Will download it later.

Any suggestions on preferred telcos for data plan? Should I stick with digi as I already have a smartplan. I'm at sarawak

In fact quite hard to suggest, what u need a well reception at your best. Choose the strongest signal available n u can't go wrong. As for me, Umobile serves me best....

What plan did u get?

First thing , check your wakelocks first than move forward from there

I repeat there is no fast easy solution to this
And in addition, You need to spend time to study all your apps and see which are often connected to internet to refresh data - you either change the time of refresh or deselect any refreshing if you don't need it

It took me at least few days studying this to be able to achieve this and I use same principles in all my Androids
That is why I can consistently achieved such low battery drain overnight in all my Android phones/tablets. The exception are the Xperia Z n Z Ultra which with its default and proven Stamina mode helps further to reduce the battery drain to often below 2% over 7 hours
I am not the only guy who can achieved such - there are several many others too : check up the Xperia Z, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Z1 and Note 3 threads - battery drain of less than 5% over 7-8 hours is common with 3G on

I have even tested those so called battery saving apps to reduce phone from accessing internet and I'd not even want to recommend any as their benefits is minimal. Some users will praised them for its effectiveness but for me nothing beats good old manual method of control

dont download dont use. its not a battery saving app, its a battery wasting app.

2% whole nite.. u sure aa? my nexus 4 aso drain 5% a nite. o.o

Great piece of advice. Thx bro. after this I will do as suggested & try one by one which is the app is hogging the battery. For a start, I will hard reset my device & see whether I can accomplish this less than 2% drain with 3G on. Subsequently, I will install one app to test the drain. Hopefully I will catch the main culprit...benny you think my action plan is feasible?

The tablet cover by Google looks nice and quality wise, but expensive T_T, there goes my money...

I am Xperia Z user, I confirmed my battery fully charged from 11pm until 6.30 am, the battery drop just 3% with 3G on. The stamina mode on xperia z is really impressive. Iam still on stock rom.

Here's some simple tips/information for your draining issue.
