Can someone answer this once and for all ?


Do I keep this on ?turn it off ?How am I saving battery when the phone switches to data when it goes to sleep ? Is it going to save me battery if i have wifi turned off on the phone because Im not at home and it sits in my pocket ? I know it sounds stupid but hear me out . I read on the internet couple of times that its the best way to save battery because having wifi sleep option set on "always " keeps the phone going into deep sleep . Now , wont the phone use data then while its asleep ? LTE data consume more battery than wifi? After reading this on several sites it started to confuse me . Sorry dumb question!

LTE does consume more than WIFI. I'm sure having WIFI disabled when sleeping conserves battery but I don't know by how much. I'm guessing there are a few variables that vary from user to user. My suggestion would be to testing the feature both on and off and compare your battery stats.
