What is the E

What is the E in the top left hand corner? My Facebook chat and places is restricted when this is on

You mean Edge?

**Yorkiekab** · 01-28-2011, 02:07 PM

Yeah.. What is it? Why can't I do certain things when it on?

**Simon** · 01-28-2011, 02:15 PM

Edge means you are on a 2G network, meaning very slow internet. The apps you are using may require the faster internet with 3G to work.

So it would be better if I turned my 3G on?

The speeds are in this order from slowest to fastest:

GPRS
EDGE
3G

If you want faster speeds, yes, turn on 3G...

What network are you on?

+1 Yup, would be difficult to get around if you couldn't get 3G speeds anyway.

I'm on O2, the things it wouldn't let me do last night on EDGE are ok this morning

will 3G hammer my battery?

**Simon** · 01-29-2011, 06:06 AM

I dont know about hammer your battery but it does drain faster on 3G.

Battery will drain faster if signal is weak as it tries to draw more current and thus drains the battery at a faster pace.
