Enable Power Efficiency
What is this really doing with the network connection and auto sync? Is it more of a benefit or does it sort of defeat the purpose of a phone like this? Who has it enabled and how do you like the phone while it is? Do you leave it enabled all the time, or only when you are away from a charging source?

Re: Enable Power Efficiency
I enabled it yesterday after watching my battery drain itself quite fast. Seems to be holding a charge a bit better since. No negative impacts for me yet.

Re: Enable Power Efficiency
Found somewhere online that after 3 minutes of inactivity it will effectively kill your 3g connection and go to sleep. Only when you fire up the phone will the connection resume. I'm not sure that it is worth that....

I would imagine that the text would force the phone to wake up the 3g connection. Not 100% sure though. Going to test it out and let you know.

Re: Enable Power Efficiency
SMS text messages use the 1X channel on CDMA networks. Not the 3G/4G channels.

Smurf is right. It didn't affect sms messages.
