Hello !
i have two access points
one Asus (dd-wrt), i made a ping test to my android and i get ~300ms on sleep mode, my battery drains in 1 day and 18 hours aprox.
Thomson, i made a ping test to my android and i get ~1000ms on sleep mode, my battery drains in 2 days and 8 hours
Does the battery drainage depends on wifi access points you have ? anyone noticed that ?

My battery life was very good in Mini. I used the phone for normal talking (around 30 mins) and 3-4 hrs of GPRS and battery wwas kept around 20-30% at
10PM after fully charged at 7AM. At that time the battery usage status showed something like this.
Display -40-50%
Android System 10%
Cell Standby 2-5%
Phone Idle 2-5%
Others (not remebering)-the remaining
Suddenly two days ago my battery started dischrging very fast and my full charge at 7AM came to zero at 4.30PM with similar use as stated above. But this time the battery usage shows something like this and consumption always remains highest by phone idle & cell standby parameters.
Phone Idle 40%
Cell Standby 30%
Android System 8%
Display 20%
Others - remaining
Now, my battery is draining a lot faster than it ever had two days back.
My battery had consistently been draining at around 1% per hour idle until today. Now I'm seeing it drop 5% in LESS than an hour while idle (idle meaning the screen shuts off and I don't use it).
So my question is, what do Cell Standby and Phone Idle mean? Previously they had both been 2-5% and my idle battery use was excellent. But today they both shot up to the 30-50% range and I'm thinking this may be the cause for the excessive battery drain even while the phone is sleeping.
I have not changed anything during these two days. But again to be sure I "Factory Reset" the phone and reinstalled all the software again but found the problem persisting. Moreover, during my travel to office (which takes about two hours) I find battery drain is minimum and same as my earlier days, i.e., it drains very slowly but once I enter my office hall the rate of drainage increases, But previously in the hall also the drainage rate was very low.
My queston is what may be the cause of this?
The only change which I feel is deterioration is signal level because the calls now frequently gets disrupted which was not the case earlier. Can this be the only cause for such high battery drainage ?
An exactly similar experience can be found in some other blog whose link is below ( for reference only)

Anticipating some advice/solution for improvement from the geeks here.
Thanks
i noticed i had the same issue whenever i installed some apps from the market...i noticed in particular a data counter to screen my phone bills and Quick Profiles.
So i suggest to think abotu the last installed apps and try to remove them one by one until you find the guilty one.
Remember afer uninstall to reboot your phone or you won't notice any difference
Have you recently rooted the phone? When I did mine I found there was a shell process left running that was eating battery (but doesn't show in the battery info screen) - Turning off and on again sorted that out
Thanks for reply. I will try your advices. But today I morning I switched off my charging at 4.45 AM and now at 6.37AM I am seeing my battery at 99% ot bad. Let me see throughout the day.
Even i am experiencing this problem
Phone Idle is 59% and Cell standby 37% for me?
Now i have removed all task managers and Info apps
lets see what happens to the battery life
@acemadmav
Your advise helped me to track my problem. I also use a Data Tracker software which was refreshed at 2 min and was the cause of battery drain. Now I have set it to 30 mins and my phone is back to full battery strength. Discharge started at 7.30AM after full charge. Attended not less than 45 mins of call, an hour of GPRS and I am still at 50% at 10PM.
@tejagamer
My Phone idle & Cell Standby is still high at 30% and 25% respectively. I googled about this and found that "Phone Idle" is the state when phone uses minimum battery required to keep the electronics of the phone alive and "Cell Standby" is battery consumed for communicating with cell towers in standby mode. Finally, when battery consumption is ok the percentage used by Phone Idle & Cell Standby doesn't matter.
Thanks

glad to help...it's been some months i'm "testing" my X10 mini about this kind of things, so i'm getting used to track down problems on my phone
BCOKAS model here on the latest firmware. Just wondering if 1-3% drain is normal in sleep mode in an 8 hour period? If so, I can stop obsessing over the battery.
Also, with normal use browsing the internet, is about 10% drain normal for 1 hour of use at around 20% brightness?
Thanks in advance!
From last 3 days battery drain of my Micromax Canvas HD A116 has been tremendous especially at night in standby mode. Before I go to sleep at around 12:30 a.m When I check the battery it's between 40% - 50% and when I get up at 7 a.m in the morning just to find the cell has got switched off. The drain is so heavy that it doesn't even power up for the alarm. In the attached pic you can see the complete drain marked in red color and the cell standby and phone idle are the highest battery consumer.
Previously I thought it was BBM messenger which is the battery consumer so I removed it but in vain as the problem still continues. Kindly help as what I need to do to resolve this problem.
Device: Micromax Canvas HD A116
ROM: JB 4.2.1
Service Provider: Reliance Communication
Network Mode: 2G/3G
Data Connection: ON
same problem here

@lihkin:
Download and install Juice Defender from Playstore. It won't drain your battery again at night.

Problem looks to be with 4.4 apps like hangout etc. , read in some place. Recollect once if on same time line you installed these?

Well I really don't think the drain is due to application as if you see in my previous screenshot I am charging the handset and by 12:30 in afternoon I charged it completely to 100%. That charge last for almost 12 and 1/2 hour without any recharge as you can see in the current screen shot attached even after 11 hours battery was at 47% and then some what near 35% it made a steep drop to 15%(strange) and then it lasted for like an hour or so. Beside that my data connection was continuously on and all sync was on. My talktime was of 4 hour in that period and yet it sustained also gaming to some extent like for 20 min. or so and again in night was connected to my wifi yet it survived this huge load.
So around 1 am in midnight it got drained completely and then I put it on charge in switched off mode, at around 4:45 am in morning I removed it from charge with battery completely charged(100%) and then I switched it on and went back to sleep. After 2hr i.e. at 7 am when I woke up the battery went down to 89% without a single use(I didn't even unlock the phone after I switched it on) almost 11% battery drain is seen in stand by mode and that's the point of concern.
So one thing is for sure the drain is not because of any application also in last few days it's my observation that the place where I keep my mobile used to be covered properly under HSDPA n/w and always use to have H or H+ as the network symbol but now it shows E and it might be switching to and fro and I guess that might be the one reason for the drain.
Kindly share your view on this and also your guidance if you have any

I had the same issue except, in my case when it reached 25%, it dropped very quickly. So I calibrated my battery and its working fine now. This app is available in play store free of cost but you have to rooted to use it.

Hit thanks if I helped.
Hi guys on standby time of 15 hours untouched my Mate 20 Pro is loosing 8% battery. Coming from my previous phone Pixel 2 XL which in the same time frame would loose 5% at most. Considering the Mate 20 Pro has a much bigger battery this equates to a higher battery drain as opposed to the Pixel 2 XL. How can I fix this drain and find the cause. The drain should be no greater than 5% in 15 hours of standby
Hi
battery life heavily depends on the applications installed and used. What I do in those cases is:
a) install a battery monitoring app (e.g. BBS )
b) once the offending package has been identified, it can be deactivated
c) in case its wakelocks you could also go and disable the offending ones
HTH, cheers,
Axel
I have the same issue; it seems my mate20pro is has the same baterry life as my s8plus. Huawei told me to fully charge and leave on airplane mode for 12 hours; it the charge looses more than 5% then its a fault.

In airplane mode enabled you won't lose more than 5% as nothing will work on the phone with no live connection
I'm not really satisfied with battery life of my less than two months old Realme GT 12/256 GB.
What is your average screen on time on this phone?
Mine would be in the 3.5-5 hours range in a day and a half, maybe more if I watch a movie or something.
I'm not playing games and only have Viber, WhatsApp, Facebook... usual stuff.
I didn't see any tanglible difference between "auto" and 60 Hz screen mode regarding battery life.
Also, what percentage of battery drain do you see overnight?
I'm on latest firmware, tried every possible battery saving combination, but always have at least 3% battery drain overnight (usually around 4% in 7-8 hours) and that with radio and all apps off and various battery saving settings applied (global and per app).
I'm starting to believe it's "normal" for this phone and its SD 888 chipset.
Thanks.

I have very similar results as you. Battery life is just ok.
Current battery life:
from 93% to 28% in 1d 19h, SOT: 3h 15min.
Before this I had Poco F3 for a month or so and I don't recall exactly, but it was something like a 1%, 2% max. drain overnight with pretty much the same usage pattern.
Also I have Lenovo tablet with far weaker MTK CPU but not much bigger battery (5000 mAh and 10.3'' screen) and that one almost doesn't use battery in standby mode (beats all phones I had).
I'm currently disabling various apps and testing and I'll post here if I find out something useful.
Optimized standby - Ultra standby makes exactly no difference in my current setup so I turned it off completely.
Quick device connect is also turned off and not in use, as far as I can tell.
