Battery life draining on LTE

[rdubmu]

I am not sure if this is related, but LTE went live on Monday in Seattle. Since this time I am only getting about 10 hours at most on my Titan 2. I usually take it off the charger at 7pm, and still has over 30% at 10pm.

LTE uses a lot more power so it will kill your battery faster.

While idle (phone sleeping) I have not noticed a big difference with LTE on my L900. But when you are using the phone, LTE definitely uses more juice. So, unless you are actually downloading something to take advantage of the bandwidth, LTE can be a bit inefficient. Hope that gets better.

I have also noticed that locational services like Bing do not work on LTE, but work on 4g, I mean 3g Have you guys experienced this?

LTE went live here in B'ham, AL last Monday. It definitely made a difference in my battery life.

welcome to the world of LTE. Now just think if you had that AND quad core.

Seems like my phone is back to normal

Yes, this happens on AT&T regularly. There are still some kinks to work out on LTE with AT&T and location, and it can be maddening. You can always switch back to 4G if you have the ability (natively or hacked in) to switch your phone's cellular, or you can wait and it'll work again at some point in the future. It'll be interesting to see what happens now that the iPhone5 is LTE-enabled and AT&T still hasn't fixed their LTE location problems...
