[QUOTE="IanCT, post: 779562, member: 6074"] I've also noticed that when WiFi is enabled, battery life is longer. I can only guess that since WiFi is faster and the radio is used less when then the 3G radio when my phone is downloading/checking email (more data packets exchanged over 3G especially when there's a poor signal). I get about 16 hours on a full charge with 1/3 brightness and moderate to heavy usage, with WiFi off I only get about 10 to 12 hours usage. [/QUOTE]
