[Q] WiFi 2.4ghz High Battery Use topic


Has anyone experienced high battery usage on 2.4ghz WiFi networks? I am seeing my battery drain alarmingly fast at work (2.4ghz) at university and on the train (also 2.4ghz) but at home (5ghz) I have no issues and get well over a day of battery with 5 hours on screen - at work if I turn WiFi off my battery completely levels out and gives good performance. If I leave it on I will get 10 hours off battery with 3 hours on screen and it'll die.

Anyone seeing anything similar? If your battery life is extremely poor try turning WiFi off or using a 5ghz band. Quite annoying. I am on UK Vodafone with the G920FXXU1AODG OTA. Although the battery drain on 2.4ghz networks occurred before this version.

I am going to turn my home router to 2.4ghz tonight and test it with that, could just be my work, uni and train have terrible wifi!!
