Re: 17 Hours 9 Minutes 28 Seconds.

Looks like there are some people still confused about leaving the wifi on. Here's what it does... When you HAVE a wifi connection, leave the wifi connected to it. Android only uses the connection when it needs it and it take MUCH less power to run the wifi constantly than it does to turn on and off the 3g radio whenever you are syncing emails facebook, twitter etc... So I have left my phone connected to my wifi network whenever I'm home and I have it set to never sleep. When it sleeps, the phone goes back to use 3g radio again and that is a lot more thirsty than wifi.
