Hi everyone..

I found that there is a "E" icon on my iphone..

I had disabled the 3G on my iphone..

Then the icon change from "3G" to "E"..

And i found that it drain battery quite fast..

Is it a normal issue to iphone?

Need some advice..

Thanks..

i thought all these while, E on iphone stands for Edge. If you are not using it, battery usage would remain the same as it shows 3G

E is EDGE, which cannot be disabled (unless jailbroken). Battery drains fast on 3G but not so fast on EDGE.

cant turn off Edge. what you need to do is to stay in WiFi and ensure your icon doesnt turn into '3G' or 'E' or 'o'

You can only turn off EDGE (and GPRS, icon "O") for jailbroken phones.
