Hi there,
I'm looking to cut back on my battery consumption and understand that the N1 radio can be somewhat of a hog.
So here's my question: Do I best set my preferred network type to gsm or wcdma? Knowing that I'm not on a mobile broadband subscription anyway, so the only internet I'll be getting will be through wifi anyway.
I would assume the GSM option is the way to go but then again I read that it's a 3G phone so forcing it in GSM only might actually put more strain on the radio or smth and result in more battery loss.
Using the phone the way I do, will I notice a difference in call quality, text send speed/reliability or anything else when using wcdma instead of gsm?
I should perhaps also mention that I'm using the US unlocked version of N1 and that I'm located in Belgium, on the proximus network.
Any help or knowledge you can offer will be greatly appreciated
Edit: Just to be clear I'm editing my settings through the '3646'-interface.
Some of my other options besides gsm or wcdma include:
CDMA only
GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
EvDo only
..
But I wouldn't know what any of those would do.. anyone?
