its not a matter of enabling it you are changing the level at which it operates, and yes battery life would be affected think car amplifier turn up the gain to hear that really poor dubbing in your cd player and yes it will play louder at a lower volume setting on your deck but the reason is because youre overworking the amplifier...theres no such thing as free energy....energy cannot be created nor destroyed only change forms ...so if your phone is using more power its taking it from somewhere...the battery, in order to give you better reception.
