I didn't pay very close attention but later after doing my three LTE speedtest.net tests and being logged onto LTE network for about 5-8mins, I noticed my battery had dropped about 15-20%. I have read somewhere the LTE networks drain a lot of battery power but this is insane. I can imagine future phones may need at least 3,500 Mah rating batteries and above to effectively last at least half a day for LTE usage.

i drove around ttdi juz now to try the LTE, but can't detect it

i went to klcc last week to ask bout lte activation, they say no nid activation or change sim card, it will automatic switch to it when detected, my sim card 4-5 years d, can use hsdpa
confirmed that the setting is "LTE (preferred)/WCDMA/GSM" d
so i need to call maxis customer service to ask them activate lte for me? or maybe change sim?

more than 4 years d, the maxis center i went and the customer rep i spoke to all insist the sim card is fine to run lte
seems like to know whose the culprit need to test a sim card that is proven can run lte on my phone and trying my sim card on a phone that confirm can run lte, to see which is the problem
Maxis staffs knowledge on LTE is laughable. I went to get the LTE activated in TTDI and its an frustrating hour spent.
On the phone:
CS1 - LTE only works on phone purchased from Maxis (false)
CS2 - LTE activates automatically when you're in LTE coverage using a phone with LTE band 7 (partially false)
Over at TTDI:
TTDI Staff 1 - Your phone doesn't support Maxis LTE.
Me - It does, and I think it has something to do with my SIM
TTDI Staff 1 - So you wanna change your SIM card, go look for staff no.2? (giving me a SIM damaged replacement form with RM25 charges)
TTDI Staff 2 - fill up the form please
Me - My SIM card is not damaged, I just want LTE activated on my phone.
TTDI Staff 2 - Ohh, no SIM card change is needed. Just go to 1st floor and look for the technical staff, they will help you to configure your phone to use LTE.
Me - ok
TTDI Staff 3 - You need a new SIM card for LTE, and we need to configure from our end too.
Me - I do?
TTDI Staff 2 - Ya kah? !@#$%+_)(*&^%$
TTDI Staff 3 - Issue a new Micro SIM, LTE works right away.
From what i gather, your old SIM card, manually cut out Micro SIM, will not be able to register onto Maxis LTE. You'll need the NEW wholly white color Micro SIM for LTE to work. And if you already has that but still can't hop onto LTE, you'll need to inform customer service for technical department to configure from their end.
After getting it done, i did approximately 10 speed tests with speed hovering around 20Mbps to 30Mbps for both upload and download, with excellent ping of <50ms. Quite impressive i must say. But a total of 280MB of my data was sucked by speedtest.net just to perform these speed test which was done in less than 5 minutes.
Battery wise its draining faster than 3G/HSPA, but definitely not 20% drop in 5 minutes.

Why is my cpu says armv7 in antutu?
ARM v7 is the instruction set used by the processor, not processor version.
