I have a new app that will cause me to use Bluetooth for the first time on my phone and am wondering if Bluetooth will severely affect my battery life?
Thanks.
Bluetooth as a general rule will reduce your usable battery life by about 20 to 25% if in use all day. Bluetooth is a radio device that is being used to both seek out and communicate with your phone and the power use is high.
Bob767 you must also take into account the device you are using,, the maker of the Bluetooth and the device that will be channeling thru the Bluetooth..
please make sure to double check the spec's for each..
Wait, you mean 20-25% battery use if you are using the BT radio as in connected and transmitting right? Not just on and disconnected. ?
