Does anyone else have this problem? My cell standby says im 100% of time without signal. But im connected when i check it. Is this a known bug or is my device defective? Doesn't seem to effect battery life for me but it Is slightly concerning since i know the counter is ticking for a replacement hassle free from AT&T

EDIT: cell standby says 6% after almost 19hrs and i'm rooted running cognition beta 4
It is a bug also seen in the international version GS2. I have the same issue. To make the percentage of time without signal go down you simply go into settings/about phone/status. After doing that you will notice the percentage slowly start creeping down from 100%.

Anyone else experiencing horrible batter drain? Android OS is taking up 50-60% on average and it just eats it up while idle. I'm thinking about a return, this is my second handset, and with a locked bootloader, im losing faith in a quick solution. Any ideas?
Minimal use and quick setup with two to three app dowloads, and my 40% charged new device was down to zero in 2 hours.
I've noticed some battery quirks so far. My percentage drops 3% simply by locking and unlocking my phone within a few minutes. I've also seen it jump up in percentage once so not sure. Maybe there is something in the OS that isn't optimized that's causing the battery drain and quirks? I dunno. Be great to hear from some other people on this issue.

Working on BT unlock so i would wait.
I've only had one charge on mine but it seems to be going good for me. I made it over a full day with 3+ of screen time.

what percentage does your "android os" show? I'm wondering why my second handset is the same. Did you root yours and remove the bloatware?

Hi give it a couple of charge cycles it will definitely improve.
Yes, I've got the same problem. The OS takes most of the battery. Idle is fine, but with any use battery drops very fast and gets extremely hot, as well.

Keep in mind that these are new phones with NEW BATTERIES. With that being said, you need to "cycle" (charge to 100% then discharge to 0% <repeat 3-5x's) the battery before we judge and jump into conclusions. Just sayin

For the record, I'm also having pretty lousy battery life. OS taking up 55%+. Last night I charged it to 100%, played with it until it was about 93% and then went to bed. Woke up this morning and it was at 65% with zero deep sleep and 80% OS usage.
Something's funky. I like the phone but can't be dealing with this constantly.
A:
EDIT: Turns out the extreme drain was from the radio. I had switched off LTE in the hidden menu and apparently that causes a ton of wakelocks and prevents deep sleep. As soon as I turned LTE back on, deep sleep came back. So that's somewhat encouraging.
I'll have to look at that. I'm getting a day with light use out of my second phone after a few charges, but it gets a little scary when im using it. I'm staying optimistic, my s3 was just phenomenal with battery life after rom kernel additions.
Can you explain how you turned off/on lte and the menu path?
I dont see an apn option other than the stock one (which im assuming is lte enabled). I'd like to see if it makes a difference. Thanks.
you need to enable network menu in the build.prop and a menu will appear where apn is

My battery life is not great, but it is not bad either I'll judge it more in a couple days after it goes through a few cycles.

Take a look in my "first impressions" thread for details on turning off LTE.

This is really disappointing. Physically, this phone is fantastic. It looks great and the specs are terrific but it's crippled by absolutely horrid software which I suspect is the reason for the abysmal battery life.
After my first day with the phone yielded less than 10 hours I decided to do a factory reset and set the phone to Eco Mode. That improved things slightly... I managed to get 14 hours but that was with limited usage. In fact, the only significant difference in results was that, in Eco Mode, Android OS shows that it is consuming 80% of the battery vs 53% the previous day.
There is something seriously wrong with these things... the fact that some people are saying that they aren't seeing the problem has me worried that it may be some sort of hardware-related issue.

I would guess those people that aren't seeing this are not looking at the battery stats, I have never seen Android take up this % of battery on any device and I have been using android since the Hero... about a good 15 devices or more ago I have lost count. Come next Thursday I am going to go switch out for something else if the boot loader is not unlocked yet.
Awesome battery life

That is with only 3 hours of use, and the android OS should never be that high, on every other device the screen is the highest... and this is a problem with the software.

yes i know its a bug but battery life is still good i can use it for 7 hours screen on and still last me a day this lasted me almost 2 days.
Since I rooted my phone and installed P.A.C rom I've been having random battery drain during the day even when not using my phone. Often I check and see Android OS using a lot of battery.
My phone gets really hot sometimes as well, often when charging (when this happens the charging doesn't seem to be charging fast either). It gets to around 46-50 degrees c.
I've had good mobile service, and usually keep all the battery draining services (Wi-Fi etc) off. What could be causing this? I was really keen on rooting my phone and gaining all this functionality but now it just seems to be giving me problems.
checked pacman thread?
There's a similar Q posted right now, check it out.

Heyy i've had this issue from after installing zeubea's CM10 .. my battery will not charge past 74% ... i've tried various roms since, but in vain. Anyone have a solution ? for it to charge to 100% ? The battery life on the phone is horrible as it is, now with this problem the phone doesn't last more than 4/5 hours.
My 1st question is, how old is your phone/battery?
Not Long after using zeubeas Rom/s I noticed my battery doing the same thing, turned out the battery itself was at the end of its life. I'm not saying zeubeas Rom caused it but it did seam to coincide about the same time. Maybe try backing up your current Rom and restore an older backup and use that for a while and see the results.

Try going into the testing menu and look at the battery life.
You should see something like this.
Look at the battery scale. It could be a problem with the ROM and that the scale is only up to 74%. If it says 100, then you'll have to look at getting your battery replaced.

I've been having this android OS battery drain for quite some time now. Hopped many roms and kernels still no avail.
BBS only showed multipdp as the culprit even if I've been on wifi since I unplugged my phone from charging.
Any suggestions to get rid of this battery drain?

Replace your battery, if it is the same on multiple roms then it isn't the firmware.
You've also got a few apps that run all the time, keeping the phone awake.

Also you need to do a better analysis of betterbatterystats and posting screenshots like those are not useful.
