Power drain with bluetooth

theanaconda · 10-06-04, 10:33 AM

Okay, so long story short I broke my X3i's screen over the weekend, so I ordered me a new X30high (I'll get the X3i repaired later). It's now shipping (yay!) and so while I'm waiting I have a question.

I've seen around here a utility floating around to only turn on the 802.11b and leave the Bluetooth off. Now I don't have any bluetooth devices (currently) so I may get that. But my question is how much battery drain difference is there between having only the 802.11b and the 802.11b/bluetooth together? I haven't been able to find the answer to that on here.

Thanks in advanced.

BT is not that thirsty on the battery. Typically it's in the region of 20-40mA while Wifi is between 250-300mA..

Oh ok maybe I won't worry about that then.
