Sorry for the typo.

If you are in areas without LTE I suggest turning off the LTE radio if you can.

My sister in law had similar problems with her Galaxy. Since Smart LTE coverage is in selected areas only her phone would keep going back to 3G/H/H+ and LTE depending on the place. This seems to have resulted in heavy battery drain so I turned LTE off. My sister in law who uses the phone says battery life improved. She turns on LTE only when she streams video in an LTE covered area.

When LTE coverage expends, this won't be necessary anymore.

I don't select 4G in the network settings. I rarely go to LTE covered areas anyway.

Here's my signal indicator outside my office (hallway).

Sun Cellular now has the Q10 plans as well.

So for those Globe Q10 plan holders who want to get the firmware updates from Sun Cellular, switch SIMs (of course if you have your phone unlocked)

Actually, both are pretty good. So it does not look like cellular signal is the cause of high battery drain. Have you tried disabling LTE when there is not LTE signal?

Now you have to me obsessing about my battery

Plugged in when I got to the office. Unplugged at 10:11 am @ 99% (reads full)
By 12:15 PM with very little use it dropped to 90% (one email and SMS)
By 1:36 PM with very little use it dropped to 90% (one SMS)
By 2:57 PM no use it dropped to 84%

Hhhmmm....

Is this on 2G mode?

No. On 3G. But had a typo. Noted in bold.

By 12:15 PM with very little use it dropped to 90% (one email and SMS)
By 1:36 PM with very little use it dropped to 86% (one SMS)
By 2:57 PM no use it dropped to 84%

Official OS or leaked OS?

Official STL 100-1. But that is in the office where you are neighbor's with a SMART Communications tower. At home, battery drain is heavy.

Hi! Which variant of Q10 is compatible with Globe's LTE? And how about with Smart's LTE?

TIA!

SQN100-3 model number, not sure if that will work with Smart's LTE spectrum

Aren't they real releasing models that are compatible with their service? I thought it was that way

I got sick so got stuck at home. This kept my Z10 on WiFi only. On WiFi the whole time, it has been running for 25 hours with 31% left on the battery, and I have been using it a lot.

Yes, wifi isn't a battery hog. It's recommended to be used over cellular networks when browsing.

When reception comes in and goes out, it flashes that prompt that unless you select the option, it keeps data deactivated.
