Yeah, my fears are confirmed. Signal levels were low (pink), the entire time. I believe signal level translates into power consumption due to the phone increasing its signal power to compensate for our levels from towers.Here's my usage today on the Z3v
Not sure what that really means or what you're fearful of? I live in an area with poor reception. The Z3v is still getting better reception than my Samsungs. I was on WIFI all day, and I switched the mobile network setting from Global to LTE/CDMA only. Not sure what bearing any of that has.... I'm pretty pleased that I can get 7 hours of screen time with 13% left leaving everything on at full levels in an area with poor reception. I was only getting 2 to 3 hours before the battery totally died on my last two Samsungs.Yeah, my fears are confirmed. Signal levels were low (pink), the entire time.

Oh, my bad. I didn't notice the amazing 7 hours of screen time. I know you were on Wi-Fi all day however the radios still try keeping track of towers and remain at the ready to communicate if the Wi-Fi should go down. In your case the results given the screen time were quite impressive.Not sure what that really means. I live in an area with poor reception.

Yeah, but don't get to excited. I'm sure the Turbo will have incredible battery life.Wait.. He got 7 hours of on screen time with the z3 in a bad reception area? Even on WiFi.. That's pretty good... Especially powering a screen like that.. Hmmm.
What screen brightness are y'all using?
