Okay, you might think this is a warning to turn off electrical devises during flight like the commercial boys want us to do, but you would be wrong.
When you fly CC the phone is hunting for cell towers and hense uses more battery power. If you need your phone at the end of the day and it would normally have power to spare you might be surprised to learn your phone is dead. Don't ask how I found this out. I even went so far as to replace the perfectly good battery.....twice before a buddy told me what was going on. Okay, so I'm a slow learner, but now I turn the phone off and I have plenty of battery left at the end of a CC day.
Obviously, if you plug your phone into the AC adapter your fine.
Just thought you would like to know.
Now arn't you glad you clicked on this very informative thread? Now you have something to talk about when hanger flying this weekend.
