7ma saving in CDMA only mode (better battery life??) - {2010-07-18}

[NinjaDuck]

A coworker of mine was playing around with setting to try and extend the battery life of his Imagio. He fliped his phone from global to CDMA only mode and reports an average difference of 7ma. I know 7ma is not a large reduction in power draw, but every bit counts.

Has anyone else out there tried / measured this?

Does it make sense?

I figured I would ask before conducting some semi-scientific test where I cannot control all the environmental variables.

Let me know.

To change the setting:
Start --> Settings --> Personal --> Phone

Select the network screen and flip to CDMA only.

• Finally figured out the registry key for this one
• Attached a reg file and a cab version
• Not sure how much it actually helps, but since we do not use GSM, it cannot hurt.
