Re: Power drain on "Extended Network"

If it does not have a signal, and you do not want it to search for a signal, then why have it on?

Why was it draining in the EN area when the signal was digital? 

Your phone is constantly searching for a "priority 1" (Verizon
wireless) signal. Because of that constant searching, the phone is
eating up battery.



I thought it had to do with the signal strength on a CDMA system, and
the further one is away from the tower, the higher power the phone puts
out trying to keep in contact with the tower.

I have experienced the rapid rundown of the phone's battery in an
extended area, but thought it was due to weaker signals rather than
searching for VZW.  If searching is the problem, is there a way to
instruct the phone to stop searching?
