So how many hours screen on time when using 3g network on both 6s and 6s+?

Posted via the iMore App for Android

IOS doesn't measure screen on time. It measures usage time. Hard to compare directly to Android. I don't use 3G. And I'm on Wifi the majority of my day other than roughly 1.5-2 hours a day on 4G/LTE streaming music or podcasts.

I'm on WiFi at home and on the network at work since WiFi is not allowed there.

Which services are you r feeding to? Location services is enabled for those apps that I need, but not all my apps. My screen is set to about 30%, my background refresh is enabled for some apps that I depend on but not all....for example I haven't got IMDB set to refresh or for location services but FB, Google, Safari, weather apps, news apps etc all are.

I'm just aware of where is weak signal and don't try to push the phone when I'm there, like for example, underground on the Metro. And of course I don't use it while I'm driving. Other than that, I use my phone normally. I'm constantly on it.

What about Location Service > System Services? Are they all enable?

Here's my latest...

Regarding the one pretty anomalous result under 8 hours - I spent two hours on the phone while looking at a WebEx which is why the usage was so bad that day. Still made it through my day just fine though.

Cool..Is your location services, background app refresh enabled??

Yes for those apps and services that use it. For example, background refresh are on for apps like Google, Google Maps, FB, weather apps, news but not for things like Bank apps because I use the bank settings for alerts.
Same for location services. I've got it turned on for maps and weather but not for social media.

How about location service > System Services?

What is your battery usage time when is it at 96%? Must be impressive

Sorry I didn't see your post until Tapatalk notified me of your quote. I plugged it in as I drove to work so I don't have a good stat to give you for today.
I generally get over 24 hours with around 12 to 14 hours screen on time. Now that I've gotten a good baseline and I know how my phone performs, I plug in whenever I have access to a power source, such as in the car.

Mind to share your lately usage screen?

Sorry for the delay. I haven't been on my phone much in the past week but here you go...

My usage is usually around 10hrs with 20+ standby depending on what I'm doing.

Edit: This is my 6S...I'll post what I have on my 6S Plus shortly.
