However, if I use my BT keyboard and forget to turn off BT after I'm done, my battery continues to drain as quickly as if I was using the keyboard. I've ended up with 20% battery left for the bus ride home at the end of the day because of this
I guess if you actively using the BT, like a BT keyboard or BT headphone ie., the BT has to continuously check the status, I think they should drain battery. I guess my measurement on BT just leave it on may NOT be an accurate reflection of the power consumption. Here is my actual measurements, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...battery+tablet,

If it is not mentioned, that means it is OFF, e.g. V+BT means only video and BlueTooth is on, all else are OFF, ie. audio/wifi are off.
