Maybe I was dreaming, but i was hoping that my N810 would be able to idle when connected to my home wireless, and skype. However, throughout the night it always reboots.

Normally I'd assume the battery has gone dead or something, however, when it came back on, the battery said it still had two hours left. I set it to offline-mode anyways, and it lasted for another 6 hours.

This has happened twice now, so isn't a one off occurance. Am I seeing a different reading after a reboot, or is something causing it to crash/reboot?

It shouldn't be rebooting, that is not normal beyhaviour. My N800 and N810 stay switched on permanently and they've never rebooted on their own in all the months I've had them.

Something is obviously causing your tablet to behave abnormally. This is either a hardware problem, or some setting or installed app is causing it.

To find out which one of these it is, back up your data and flash the tablet with new firmware. You can see a step-by-step guide to how to do this here:

http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/200...-firmware.html

After you've updated the firmware, do NOT restore the backup yet. We want to keep the tablet "clean" so we can find out whether it's a hardware problem.

Connect the "clean" tablet to your wi-fi, and see if it reboots overnight.

If it doesn't reboot, try installing Skype and leave it connected overnight.

If it still doesn't reboot, try restoring the backup you made, and leave it connected overnight.

If it reboots after restoring the backup, then it's likely that your settings or installed applications are causing the reboot. You could re-flash the tablet firmware again and then install your apps one at a time if you want to find out which one, or there may be some cleverer way of doing it which someone may tell us about in this thread. :-)

If it reboots when the tablet is still "clean", then it's likely that your tablet hardware has a problem and you may need to get Nokia to repair or replace it under their 1 year hardware guarantee.

Alright, flashed to Diablo last night, before racing here to let everyone know it had been released...and being about 10 pages too late.

Anyways, all fixed now, left it on last night, and it still had 9 days / 6 hours or something equally high

If the problem re-occurs, you might want to read this. I'd be interested to know what is your 'bootreason' and related details.
