LTE is a battery murderer

[Richard Servello]

I got a Fi Sim and popped it in. Works great. I turned off Bluetooth and it starts connected. Awesome. Unfortunately it burned 10% in a matter of minutes! Whoa! Emergency use only I guess!

it shouldn't be that bad unless you are in a bad signal area. I have Verizon connected to mine, and when in a full signal area, I lose 5-6% an hour(just the radio being on with no active use)

If you stream music over LTE, then yes you will lose about 10% in 10min as I did on my test.

I was doing nothing.
