Revision history [back]

Just a short report of my time in portugal with the JollaC. I used a local SIM as second card with 4g and 3GB for 15€ and let my german prepaid card in slot 1 for receiving calls. The device was always on, osmand~ running the whole time, used it for some pictures/videos, music, gpodder, local phone calls. And at evening's charging time I had no battery with less than 55%.

Of course there was 4g everywhere (german prepaid providers: shame on you). So I guess 4g is the best solution for saving battery if the provider has a proper 4g net (though NOS seems to be the smallest provider according to this: http://prepaid-data-sim-card.wikia.com/wiki/Portugal) and there is no permanent 2g/3g/4g switching.

Back to germany: 3g again (O2+) and the battery drains faster without a navi and other stuff.
