Increase the autonomy of your iPhone
When you're running out of battery we have the solution to make it last a little longer. By changing a configuration of the mobile data connectivity of our iPhone, we will achieve it.
But this trick will not only work for people who, at any given time, have a low battery percentage. It will also work for people who go from Wifi to Wifi and make little use of mobile data.
How to extend the autonomy of your iPhone:
Simply by deactivating the 4G/3G option of our terminal, in the path SETTINGS/MOBILE DATA/OPTIONS/VOICE AND DATA , and activating the 2G we can extend the autonomy of our device.
Activate 2G
Both 4G and 3G technology speed up data downloads but, as a counterpoint, reduce our battery life.
Seeing it like this, many of you will wonder why we should deactivate this option and our opinion on it is the following:
- If you are a person who goes from WIFI to WIFI, it is not necessary to have this option active. When you are not using this type of connection, you can perfectly receive notifications with 2G activated.
- If what you want is to receive notifications, send a message, or actions that do not require a high speed data connection, we really don't see the need to have 4G or 3G active.
We only see the activation of these connection technologies necessary when going to navigate, from our phone, in a marked way.When we do not have a WIFI network nearby to connect to and we need agility and speed in the internet connection, such as when we go to visit websites, read the news, write on our social networks, send photos In these cases, we should activate it .
2G is a much slower connection than 3G and 4G but it does not deprive us of connection. With it activated we will receive notifications, we will be able to send messages, browse at a slower speed. We do not stop being connected to the internet. All we do is disable the data download accelerator.
Our experience:
Based on our experience, personally I don't have 4G/3G activated. Both at home and at work I connect to WIFI networks. I only activate it when I am going to spend a lot of time away from WIFI and/or when I want to browse, play as we have said before, with speed and agility in the connection.
Doing what has been said I have increased the autonomy of our iPhone.
