I have used it in BT mode and in LTE mode about equally since I bought it. Leaving the GPS on all the time is necessary if you want the emergency features to be useful and if you navigate even once a day it's a pain to go through the menus to turn location on and off. Hopefully in the future we'll see some widgets like the standard control panel on phones.
The battery for me with average use lasted 72ish hours with BT on constantly. When I initially switched to LTE (after starting the T-Mo Digits beta), the battery life crashed to 20 hours but the power management has figured things out and it's up to 48-60 hours now. The trick is that BT connection was murdering my phone battery so it's a tradeoff.
Please share how you're able to get 48-60 hours on LTE. I burn 2-3% per hour with LTE and AOD, and never use BT. I also don't use Digits or NumberSync, which some have reported effects battery life. Do you have any idea why you're getting low burn rates?When I initially switched to LTE (after starting the T-Mo Digits beta), the battery life crashed to 20 hours but the power management has figured things out and it's up to 48-60 hours now.

It only needs to last a day. So awesome! As for BT affecting phone battery. I didn't see a difference yesterday. Today will be a full day, so I'll see.
