yesterday i charged my phone to 100%, enable airplane mode and disconnected from the charger, aroung 9:00 pm, just to see if my bad signal was the battery eater. Today, at 7:00 am, my battery was at 70%, so it got worse with the airplane mode, checked my battery info, and on other usage was running 100%, screen like 0.9%, my phone did not go to sleep, this is or a bug on the airplane mode?
now, i disabled airplane mode at that time and now, at 12pm it only used 3% of the battery.
yeah, it's a bug.

Just curious what you are seeing under "Time without a signal %" which you find under Settings - About phone - Battery - Battery Use - Cell standby.
I have a Hero that is rooted and running 2.1 and showing 50%.
Thanks
%5. It was %70 before I did the charge in airplane mode trick.
I did the airplane thing too but mines at 0
33% for me. Did airplane mode trick and haven't had a restart since then.
50% here on rooted 2.1 as well.
What's this battery airplane mode trick?
31% after leaving the phone plugged in an not touching it overnight. Up time 68:49:32 and Awake time 16:41:50 if you need that too, as there's been issues of 100% awake time as well. Of course I've done the airplane trick before, and after a restart, it was back to 100%. Then found out that Meebo was the cause, as it was keeping the phone awake connected to all my IM accounts. Turned it off, and no more 100% awake time, and no more problems.

So i have found one solution thanks to a thread over at another site....
Seems as if there is some sort of bug with with Cell standby that causes the phone to lose signal which in turns just kills the battery. To verify that your set has the problem, check the Cell standby info in the Battery Use info. If the Time without a signal is higher than 0% (50% seems to be the norm) than you have a problem.
One solution, at the moment, is to follow these steps:
1. Plug in phone charger
2. Put phone in Airplane mode
3. Put phone to sleep for a minute
4. Turn off airplane mode
5. Unplug phone
I can confirm that this works and my Time without a signal is at 0% for over 9 hours now. The battery life is MUCH better and the phone didn't die on me last night while i was sleeping.

I am at 15% after airplane trick...My awake time is 78 hrs and some change so i think its pretty accurate. let the phone battery drain down and then put into airplane mode. Do a full charge and restart phone...then turn airplane mode off.
50%, geeze... doing airplane trick
After implementing the "airplane mode" method, it says my time without signal is 0%.
my show cell standby 12% android system 58% is this normal
yes another.
Is it necessary to drain the battery and do the "fix" or exactly as the quoted text states? I have tried, and my signal strength is a dot and the standby after is now at 23% from 17% right after, is it going to climb from lack of use or is this not resolved?
Your help is appreciated.
I have found that doing the Airplane mode on, sleep, then Airplane mode off will work without having to connect to a charge. The only thing the charge seems to do is reset the cell standby number. This makes sense since the percentage is based on when the phone was last connected.
What will happen is your percent number will keep going down after the "fix" which is what you want. If having a number really bugs you then add the connct in there.
My time without signal was at 50%. After doing the "no connect" it is showing 13% after 3 hours. it was 28% an hour ago.
Ok thats what I was thinking it was, on a bit of a side note, I no longer go to a lock screen when I press the Power button, i went ahead and set the display to something like 30sec but what just happened?
Works for me
I tried this and it works for me. At most i have 5% and by an hour later its at 0%. Thanks for the tip.
Rooted, running 2.1 rom v0.5.4
23% for me.
I had 50% also but had not really noticed any worse battery life.
Just so it's clear,
the airplane trick needs to be done EVERY boot.
If you restart your phone, you have to do it again. Every time.
Is this bug a result of flashing a specific rom or leak, or is it because of a specific radio?
I have installed the second 2.1 leak on my eris and my gf as well. I do the airplane trick to fix the % without signal bug, she does as well. And it works. Both are at 0%. However, if we go to see what's using the battery, my cell standby is very low, while hers is very high (up around 70%). I am just wondering why that is. I don't understand why results would differ so drastically under nearly identical situations. With no virtually no use my battery will last nearly 24 hours, while hers will only last about 6. Has anyone seen this, or know a fix?

Long press power/end button. Turn Airplane mode ON. Press the power/end button to put your phone into sleep. Press power/end button to come out of sleep. Turn Airplane mode off.
The cell standby percentage will/should eventually go down to 0%.
Another battery drain thread....
The battery life on my UK S2 during the day is fine - from 8am to 5pm in the office it goes from 100% to 75%, with 3G on the whole time (no wifi, GPS or bluetooth). I check emails throughout the day but make/receive very few calls.
Last night I charged the phone to 100% then installed ZDBox, put the phone into Do Not Disturb/Airplane mode between midnight and 9am using ZDBox, and left the phone by my bedside upstairs. When I checked it at 08:50 this morning the phone was still in airplane mode but the battery had dropped to 25%.
If I can go 9 hours in the office with 3G switched on, and occasional email checking, and still retain 75% charge, why would it have dropped from 100% to 25% while in airplane mode for 9 hours at home overnight?
The battery usage stats at 08:50 this morning showed:
Android O/S 96%
Android System 2%
Dialer 2%
I'm running stock XWKI4 (2.3.4), upgraded via Kies and rooted.

Search XDA for BettertBatteryStats download.
Install and after 24 hours check for wakelocks and see if a rogue app is draining the battery.
Edit: here it is.

i would also urge people to purchase this app in the market to support the developer who is always on hand to offer assistance on XDA and always posts updates on here too, it's well worth the small charge for a great app.
Before flashing CM9 to my mopho I had only used the stock rom, on Gingerbread my battery would last for 1.5 or 2 days, but since i updated to ICS it dies whitin 10~ hours of idle...
it usually goes from 100 to 70% overnight (6 hours). Recently I purchased Juice Defender Ultimate hoping it would help fix this issue, well... it did help but id didnt solve it, went from 30% overnight battery drain to 15-20% with airplane mode enabled in JDUltimate.. wich is ALOT from what i've read most users are getting (1-2% overnight, am i right?).
I've wiped my battery stats over and over (even tried the market app method) and nothing has changed.
I installed BetterBatteryStats and Watchdog from market, and both of them and the android battery stats show that "suspend" or phone idle are the cause of my battery dying so fast.
If anyone experienced anything similar and knows a way to fix this I would really appreciate it!!
Ive never seen my Photon go overnight with only a literally 1-2 percentage loss.. Not on stock, Cybiks CM7, or on CM9. but it usually only drains maybe 10 or 15 percent on higher end so nothing major. Talking ~8 hours off charger idle with random text or two and led going nuts blinking all night with data/wifi/bluetooth etc off but NOT in airplane mode. Are you on latest CM9 build? My bet is you have a random app screwing with phone keeping it from entering sleep mode or whatever its called. Check the "Awake" time under the battery settings to see if the awake time is allot higher than the "Screen off".
I have the same problem, no matter what kernel, no matter what cm9 build, still draining too much in idle. I know, others don't have such draining. But I give up and I am back on cm7, where everything seems fine.
I noticed that this happens to me as well. Previously, I fixed this by re-calibrating the battery. Now I was suspecting skype, but it is not causing this. I have noticed that having both GPRS/3G enabled and Wi-Fi drains power very quickly (about 4 times faster than having only one of those switched on). I'm using Photon in Europe in GSM network, so not sure is it the same with CDMA.

during night, "Awake" seems to be up about 50-60% of the time, a lot more than "screen on"
I´ve read that setting your phone to "never turn screen off" shuts down suspend process and battery actually lasts longer, has anybody tried this??
Are you guys logged into Latitude? I signed out of it yesterday and now after 10 hours on battery, although 6 of it was sleeping, I still had 86% left.

Thanks, I logged out already will report back after some time
I am not sure, but never logged in latitude myself, so I think, no.
And CPU was perfectly sleeping with turned off screen. But still the same draining. And what I know, it has nothing with gsm.
I as well am having the same problem, dropped from 88% to 72% within 20 minutes.
phone idles killing my battery at 50% any fixes?
try wiping battery stats in recovery with a full charge
I've looked through this forum, but the Only thing I have seen are normal battery drain issues. Mine is not.
I'd like to point out that my Galaxy S3 is the 16Gt non-4G unlocked "Nordic" or European version, and I haven't rooted it.
The problem is that whenever I'm out playing Ingress, and it's chilly outside (0 degrees celsius) the battery seems to drain really fast. I thought it was just because Ingress uses both GPS and internet, and that the screen is on all the time.
I use the phone until it shuts down because of battery. Then I'd plug the phone to the charger in the car, wait for 30sec, and after the screen has fully lit up(I have not yet turned it on) the graphic says the battery is over 50%. So then I turn it on, And the battery is @58%. I unplug it and continue playing. The battery drains real fast again. Then it shuts down. I repeat the above process, and after turning it on the battery is @54%.
Also, sometimes during this battery drain, @10% or so, the phone disconnects from the network. It is disconnected until the battery is at about 2%, then it regains the network connection for the short while it is still on.
I have GSAM battery monitor installed, and it drew a nice graph. I couldn't take a screenshot of it because GS3's screenshot taking is a pain in the arse and I just couldnt do it. But the Graph showed the battery draining from 60%->0% in ½h, then it suddenly started from 58% and drained to 0% in another ½h.
Has anyone else had this kind of problem? If so, have you solved it and how?
The phone was 4.1.2 until I updated it to 4.3 recently, and the problem was on both versions.

Replace your battery.
This is clearly not a problem of the battery, as it does retain it's charge. The phone just doesn't know it until it's connected to a charger. Hence magical 1s charge-ups.
