iceterminal macrumors 68000 May 25, 2008 1,870 27 Dallas Tx. Jul 15, 2012 #5 I keep wifi and 3G enabled all the time. Normal day for me is the phone at about 50%-65% with normal usage. If I watch videos during the day, I'll still have about 40% when I'm done for the day. So leaving wifi on shouldn't be any problem.
