iOS 9.3 Beta 2 and LTE battery drain


ZebraDude

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing phone heating up Battery drain on iOS 9.3 Beta 2?

 

I have turned off LTE and my handset is running cooler and battery life has stabilized.

 

Ps. I am mostly on WIFI

My 6 Plus hasn't had any problems on beta 2. I actually hit a new record last night, 9 hours 2 minutes usage, 28 hours 29 minutes standby with 16% battery left.

EDIT: I am also on WiFi most of the time, but my phone is connected to LTE on the macro network when I am on WiFi at home.

without having solid data, it seems like battery life is much worse on a non-s iPhone 6 Plus. mix of LTE and wifi use, public beta 2

I haven't had any issues at all. Using a non-S iPhone 6 Plus.

I am also vaguely suspicious that the fact that I have an Apple Watch has something to do with it. things seemed normal until this morning when my watch popped up the weekly activity report - and froze. I had to reboot the watch to unfreeze that. after that my 30 minute drive to work resulted in a loss of about 40% of the phone battery which normally only loses a few percent during that drive.

40% in 1/2 an hour!?  :blink:

 

I thought my phone's battery drained quickly... holy smokes!

no repeat of the behavior today, though. might have been a one time thing

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
