    For some reason all the USB's are always on on Sleep Mode. Not just the yellow one but the side USB's too. Whats happened here?

    I think they're supposed to be on in sleep mode. I wouldn't worry about it though; unless there's a device attached, drawing current, it'll use a minimal amount of power.

    I think that one can be left on when you turn off the laptop.

    According to Power Manager on my X100e, if you choose generic USB device for charging, then all ports are valid. If you choose a specific branded device like an Apple device or a Blackberry, only the yellow port applies.
