I have a feeling this might be a very stupid question, but I've observed something somewhat puzzling (to me) with my Nexus 7.
I don't use it terribly often, so when I'm done, I generally turn it off, as in, hold down the power button until it prompts me to turn it off and says it will be powered off. I assume that this would work much like with my mobile phone: if you turn it off that way it's totally off, not just in sleep mode like if I'd just stopped using it and left it on a table or something.
However, a couple of days after shutting it off, I heard an alert beep, which confused me. I finally determined the only thing in the direction of the beep was my nexus and powered it on, only to see the battery fairly low. I'm assuming the beep was a low battery warning. It was nearly full when I'd powered it off. That's WHY I powered it off, because I knew I wouldn't be using it for potentially a week and didn't want to run down the battery.
This has happened a couple more times. I was testing it because the first time I thought my theory made no sense, despite what seemed to be happening. At this point I'm sure it wasn't just that I'd forgotten and hadn't actually powered it off.
Is this normal? Do I maybe have some setting set that I might be unaware of that would prevent it from actually fully powering off? I feel really dumb but I'm assuming this can not be right.
