I've read several times to keep wifi on when you are at home or anywhere you can get wifi to save battery. I'm confused on how it saves battery though bc even with wifi on, my phone still shows the signal strength for 3g if I've chosen cdma, or the signal strength for 4g if I've chosen lte/cdma. And under network type, it will still show ehrpd or lte depending on the above. Doesn't this mean it is still using those radios PLUS wifi so battery should drain faster in standby? I know mobile network state says "disconnected" but if I'm still getting a signal bar reading and dbm reading for 3g or 4g, doesn't that mean I'm still connected, just not receiving data over them other than phone/txt? So to me, it would seem that best battery with a data connection when the phone is asleep would be 3g. If I turn off all data though just so I can still get phone/txt, it still shows ehrpd so am I really saving any battery over turning on data?
Am I making any sense? Is there a piece to the puzzle that I'm missing?
Thanks
