Indian 920 corner

[iamSherlocked]

i have done all,
after a soft reset, its giving better performance now
also 2G/3g hogs the battery a lot... even wifi doesnt

tip, just a chklist if u missed something.
#use dark theme
#wifi off (if not using)
#bluetooth off
#Internet sharing off
#All email accounts on manual sync
#screen time out 1min
#Battery saver should turn on when battery low.
#brightness should not be automatic and be at low.
#find my phone- unchk connect easily.
#if u r using a body cover for your phone, remove it and chk battery performNce. Sometimes they cover antenna area (bottom prt of your phone) which blocks signal and consumes battery.
#do not cover antenna part while holding your phone.
#if u live in an are where signal strength fluctuates between HSPA & HSDPA (ie 3G and H shown on top of phone screen) OR HSPA & EDGE (H & E), its more prominent your battery will drain fast.
#Dont charge phone irregular. Fix a period (like in morning and evening) to charge your phone. And its always better to charge from socket directly instead via Laptop, it not only make your phone charge up faster, but increase battery life of phone and specially of your laptop.

To add what he said, don't use 3G unless you are downloading something. 3G is a battery hog.
You can leave WiFi ON, it does not consume that much battery and using WiFi doesn't use GPRS/EDGE or 3G and with faster download of data, it might lessen the burden on your battery.

Also could try turn location services off to see if that has impact.

no, it doesn't effect at all. Its only a key to use location, nothing else. When location is used, u will see a indicator on top, if its there, that means its on and of course using battery

So I read in some other thread that even when the phone is connected to WIFI, it still uses data connection unless the data is turned off.
Can any one confirm this?
Also, shouldn't the phone by default use wifi instead of 3g?

I am planning to Port my network from Loop to Idea just for 3G, so please advice me am I doing it right ?
All i see here is people NOT advicing to use 3G... why in the earth no ? Can anyone technically explain me the reason for it to drain the battery unless you keep downloading/using the 3G network 24/7 right ? The porting will take me 15 more days from my current network to another without changing my phone number. So please guide me, is it good to do so ?
Or is 2G sufficient enough for L920 ?
2G gives speed of 15 kbps MAX which is awful & of no use otherwise that is why I am going for 3G. Also I would like to get some help in 3G Data plans on the Network - "IDEA"
I am from Mumbai, & have a Billing method of payment, NOT PRE-PAID !
Please help me guys, need serious help regarding this ASAP !

iam 2 years 3G user of BSNL i had some issue in there SIM(3G SIM) which drain my battery as iam iPhone 5 user i had no other choose to buy BSNL micro SIM(3G SIM) and cut in to nano sim.

there 3G sim drain the battery faster even 3G not on in the device so i changed my sim to 2G and activated 3G in it.

apparently 3G drains the battery faster than 2G. But 3G is a must with a phone like this. No way u can use 2G on this. i switched to 3g last year and its totally worth it.
