WiFi or 4G LTE better for battery?

[calllka]

Does anyone know what eats battery more: LTE or WiFi?

LTE is so fast, I really don't need wifi, at work or at home. (aside from trying to control the computer, etc...).

I think wifi uses less power

I'd say LTE. Ever since turning 4G off, I've noticed the battery not draining as fast.

LTE eats battery more. Fact.

wait how do you turn off 4g? I thought it wasnt possible on TB with this software build.

I got the app Phone Info. There you can change the settings. Currently mine is on CDMA Auto (prl)

Same here, using Phone Info since I'm in a 3g area. Will turn on LTE when/if needed.

Thank you for telling us the app name.

This app solves the 3g/4g hand shake problem.

Only time will tell, but in the past wifi has always been better for battery as long as you have a clear, constant signal.
Its only been two days of testing but so far I'm having better battery with wifi turned on. My house doesn't get a good signal.. neither 3G or 4G. So far I'm seeing better battery life if I use my homes wifi signal. When I leave the house I turn off the wifi.

I can't find Phone info in the market. Where did you get it?
