leaving data on 24/7

[garnto]

well after a week or so of doing everything in my power to conserve power(I was getting about 6 hours of awake time) I decided to see what the battery can do with data on 24/7

I am not in a 4g area so first thing I did was turn 4g off. after 2 days of leaving 3g on 24/7 I notice almost zero difference. I maybe get 30-45 or so mins less of awake time than I did with 3g off unless needed


of course with the negligible difference(for my personal needs) I now plan on always leaving data on. anyone else tested this on their phones?

Do you mean that you actually turn the radios off at certain points?

Im not in a 4G area, but i leave everything on. GPS an data, an i still get about 8 or 9 hrs per day.

no. I completely turned off the 4g, but 3g stays on all the time

8-9 on time or awake time? I assume on time

yeah that is time between charges. Here is a more detailed description of an average day for me.

did you notice significantly better battery life after rooting it?

 

[bamaredwingsfan]

It wasn't rooting that i noticed better battery life, it was running custom roms an adrenalin's kernals. Im only running custom roms with sense right now. So i don't know if a non sensed rom would be better or not.
