Phone battery usage query

[norush]

My EE contract recently finished so as a light user I decided to go for a sim only deal and wrongly or rightly I went with giffgaff!

My battery now seems to last forever compared with EE; same Android phone so just curious why that should be.

[Mr E]

Do you tend to be in an area with better signal than you were with EE?

[norush]

It's about the same if I'm honest; Mrs N has been on O2 for years and was one of the reasons I decided to go with giffgaff. I'm certainly not complaining; just trying to work out the logic behind it!

[AJB88]

Its likely to do with signal.

[Mr E]

We’ll need to crack the phone open and replace the battery with some battery emulation + logging kit.
Oh, and we’ll need your old sim back for comparison.

Say, a weeks normal usage on each? You don’t mind lugging a trolley round with you at all times for a fortnight old chap?

Haha, very good! I obviously have too much time on my hands
