In my experience, being connected to solid wifi will drastically increase your battery life vs. the phone trying to use the cell network for everything, especially if your cell service is noticeably worse than the wifi.
- kuschku 11y ago> especially if your cell service is noticeably worse than the wifi. I’m not sure if that case exists anywhere in the civilized world. Subways and trains all have 3G networks, buildings have them, even in rural areas every 3rd tree you pass is a hidden 3G tower. I don’t think I’ve seen a place without 3G anywhere in Germany in my lifetime (but I’m only 20)
- misthop 11y agoCome to Chicago. In the lobby of my building (granted 40 floors of concrete) I can get any of no signal, 2g, 3g, or LTE - in the same spot minutes apart.
- larrik 11y agoIn more hilly/mountainous areas (like Connecticut or upstate NY or even parts of Pennsylvania) cell service kind of stinks. I've been to plenty of places where I get no service, even outside.
- recursive 11y agoI don't have 3G at work. I work in an office building <100 miles from silicon valley.
