"All measurements taken in airplane mode with GPS disabled."
"…the best case overall is about 42% of the original system current, effectively doubling the battery life."
If you don't use most of your actual phone features, that is, but still have the screen turned on. Whereas the regular scenario has those power leeches on, but the screen off. Still, nice experiment.
- kelnos 16y agoYeah, looking at the battery use meters on my N1, display is usually in 2nd place at around 25-35% of total usage (with cell standby as the top battery user). So the savings wouldn't be quite as dramatic, but you could certainly get some extra time out of the battery.
- dalore 16y agoExcept generally when the screen is off, you're not using the GPS. Also when you're talking on the phone, the screen is on also.
