- Well to answer that .. am on 2G and get good signal at home and work.. however just wanted to check what give better battery results.. somehow I felt after using wifi my battery draining was a bit faster.. maybe 3% on idle.. where as I manage to get a 2 to 2.5% on idle mode now I know even that much is higher on idle mode.. Heaven knows how ppl get 1% on idle.. I would kill to get that kind of battery drainage03-12-12 12:20 AMLike 0
- If signal is around 1/2 or less then I would suggest you run wifi as much as possible. That said, if you are not using your BlackBerry much then I would stick to the regular network. I leave my wifi on at work and at home if I'm going to be using a lot of data bandwidth, (videos and large emails or file transfers for example). If you are just getting the occasional email or lite web surfing then cell network is the better choice in my opinion.
When I'm at home on Sprint, I have excellent 1X (or 2g) network speeds. Therefore I default to wifi because it's less time transferring data and thus better on the battery life. I'm rambling here but these are all points to consider when it comes to battery life. Try both depending on your needs to see what works best for you.03-12-12 12:25 AMLike 0 - Well to answer that .. am on 2G and get good signal at home and work.. however just wanted to check what give better battery results.. somehow I felt after using wifi my battery draining was a bit faster.. maybe 3% on idle.. where as I manage to get a 2 to 2.5% on idle mode now I know even that much is higher on idle mode..
