I'm just asking:
Is there any widget or application that will show a graph for download/upload whether it is from WIFI or 3G connection?
Have a look at NetCounter.
I used 3G Watchdog, it didn't graph it but would state total usage on the widget.
I use network monitor

Hey guys, just got my new play and loving it. However no matter how much I use it, the cellular standby ALWAYS consumes more battery life than display. That includes playing hours of final fantasy games on it. And yes I do have juice defender set to aggressive. So Whats the deal here? Cheers!

Juice defender gave me worse battery life than without it. I would recommend putting a shortcut to your settings on a home screen and turning off data manually instead. JD eats CPU cycles and thus uses unnecessary battery power.

Go into settings, wireless and networks, then tap mobile networks. Go to network operators and change the search mode from automatic to manual problem solved

3g usually takes more battery than wifi. I personally experienced it.

Agree with you also. At least 2 charge per day.

its normal i think.. when a mobile network is on there are so many applications that auto run on your background and some of them are using mobile network connections and if you leave your mobile network activated it means all the time there are some applications that accessing the network which uses so much of the battery power, meanwhile the wifi connection only uses battery when its scanning(depending on the time interval that you set to scan when your not connected) but if your connected it also uses much power however its not that power consuming as the mobile network.
Since flashing the new dark side kernel I get weird behavior from the mobile radio. It will show full bars of 3g then when I use the browser ,for example, it jumps to full bars of 4g(H). This happens with any network activity over cellular radio.
Is this normal behavior, .....for battery conservation?
Also in "settings"- then "mobile networks",...the "preferred network mode" is set to 'wcdma".
Should I use default setting or the other choice ,which is "LTE/GSM".
Thanks.
Any ideas. Anyone have same behavior? This is not really a problem, just unusual.

Use wcdma. T-Mobile doesn't have lte. And I don't think it's kernel related. I honestly think it's just that the ui isn't updating during sleep. Plus it naturally should go to 3g when not in use. Look up fast dormancy. I honestly don't think it's anything to worry about.

Thanks.Thanks for confirming. Both settings seem to work the same.

Why does this happen and is there any way to stop it?

Go to:
Settings/ more settings / mobile networks / CONNECTION OPTIMIZER
then uncheck the box and that will disable the Wifi auto-connection. Hope that helps. I have the same issue the day i got my phone. =)

YES! Thanks, Jeff! I am using Tasker to turn all data connections off at night, but when I plugged it into the USB, it turned WiFi on and I kept getting alerts throughout the night. I understand the principle, but that was annoying.
Good ol sprint doing anything they can to get you to use wifi instead of thier bandwidth

well, wifi uses a lot less battery than 3g and way less than 4g. the optimizer is a good idea, but just works terribly.

Yeah, the Optimizer needs to be optimized.

In advanced wifi settings, there is an option to "keep wifi on when screen is off."
Which is the more power efficient option, keep wifi on or off when the device goes to sleep?

It depends, if your LTE signal is bad then WiFi is better on so its not searching for LTE when it's sleeping. It's good if you won't be searching for signal and your phone isn't being used. If you are constantly using it them leave Wi-Fi on.

Makes sense I guess. I usually get around 2 bars in my home.

Last quick question. Is 15% of battery usage by "Android OS" considered normal? It's the 2nd biggest drainer on the list.
