Great about your 99 percent! Oh, seeing as AT&T doesn't provide internet service here in my rural area and I want to stay with them, I used the personal hotspot feature for all of my computer or braille notetaker internet needs. And using that really drains the battery. It probably didn't help any that I would leave the hotspot turned on, even when I wasn't using it, thus making it easier to connect when I was ready. But, especially now with having two separate phone lines, it's amazing to see just how much longer my battery lasts on the phone when I have the hotspot turned off.
