Comments on set-up

[anon(463177)]

I've had my S3 LTE with TMob for about 4 months and I still like it. I upgraded to 3.0.1 last month though and would like to get some discussion going on setup.

I turn off Wifi, NTC, Bluetooth, and Location. I put the Network on Always On. Understand I'm not checking the national debt on the watch, just basic communication (text, email, voice), measurement of exercise distance, weather. That's about it. I get about 50% battery usage in 18 hours with what I consider little use. The occasional call or text. But I recharge every night so it's not a big deal.

What is everyone else doing? Hows your battery?

I think you might get better battery life if you kept Bluetooth on and put Network to auto.

Are you using AOD?

I'm at the default BT and auto network settings with no AOD. I'd guess I see about 15-30% battery use for the day with perhaps a workout thrown in.

BT should, in theory, result in greater efficiency and lets the cell phone do the more energy intensive bits.
