I am in a pretty good 4G area am just wondering do you think it would help alot on the battery if I switched to 3g to help save the battery?
If Im not going to have access to a charger for a long time I switch it over to 3G or data off period. If I'm around town I don't worry about it.
I leave mine on all day but I usually have the luxury of having wifi access at work. I have no problems unplugging at 6am and lasting until 8-9pm. (Usually still have about 20%) I have moderate to heavy use. I'm religious about my charge cycles though. First 3-5 charges all go below 5% and then charge to 100%. I just started the extended battery. So far, it's incredible and I'm expecting more when I get 3-5 charge cycles.
Is there a widget to allow me to switch between 3G and 4G? I don't want to shut the data off.
Perfect timing for this post. I don't live in a 4G area, but I am not far from one. I have noticed the two days I spent in 4G that my battery life was horrible. I keep a spare battery with me (though I forgot it when I changed purses a few weeks ago) and a car charger. However, I noticed an incredible difference with 4G.
I was excited to get home and check out this forum for a 4G battery post. I am going to use the toggle switch on my Dazzle and switch 4G off when I don't need it ... like for injstance a four hour period of being in a movie and then having a busy lunch.
Hey ... for one of the experts out here, do you think that over time improvements will be made to the network to improve battery life on LTE?
Thanks all again for the tips!
