Re: [apple-iphone] depleting battery

 

So Jim, are you saying that a low cellular signal level could cause the iPhone to use more battery on the Wi-Fi radio? Remember that if I turn off the Wi-Fi radio in the iPhone, battery use is normal (still in the same "weak cellular signal" house).

Thanks,
Ken

I'm not trying to be "smart", with that question, I'm trying to learn.
