Cell Standby drain 6.0.1 - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have been on the MM (full stock) for quite a while and for the life of me can't understand why I'm facing this stupid cell standby drain. The phone is in a reasonably good 4G coverage area (at least blocks in the signal strength) and am I'm wifi whenever possible. I don't have VoLTE nor wifi calling enabled...
I've lost count of the number of charge cycles the phone's been through but this stupid drain is the second on the hit-list right below display even after a full day's usage....
How do I get rid of this stupid drain...pls help

Is your location services always on?

The location is set to wifi and mobile network and GPS is off...but yes, location is on...Are you saying if i disable location completely the cell standby will go away? Hmmmm...this should be an interesting experimentation...

I can confirm that disabling the location altogether does NOT reduce the cell standby issue. This is either a samsung modem related problem or it's inherent to MM. Any comments?

ok, I think I have found the solution and it seems to be counter intuitive...I enabled GPS (i.e. high accuracy) mode in the location setting...and guess what the cell standby went down drastically...I don't know if this is a placebo effect...anyways...I'll keep a close watch on this..

Is a modem samsung ?? Fast drine and no sleep

[Q] Cell standby fix

Has anyone managed to find a fix for the cell standby battery drain? As for the people not suffering from it, what rom and kernel are you using?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
HyperGalaxy with siyah kernel = the perfect combination....so fast with an abundance of free ram and no signal battery drain

Thanks! I don't have the issue anymore with hypergalaxy!

has become much better since i flashed XXALF2 baseband and Franco r2 kernel. Standby (mobile data on) drop was around 4-5% per hour before, now its around 2.5% per hour

Cell standby drain cannot be confirmed by all people and is related to the 3G setup, antennas and location of your provider.
Here the network show a very bad case of hopping when switching to/from IDLE (fast dormancy) which drains the battery in no time.
I'm currently running Juicedefender Ultimate beta with AOSP helper which switches to 2G when the screen is off and no data is transferred. Only issue is that you'll loose connectivity twice (3G->2G and 2G->3G) for a very short time but other than that it seems to work fine and has solved my battery drain problem.
I've been used to switch back to 2G as soon as I don't need 3G/HSPA with my S1 as it's drain is even worse, so it's no big change for me

i conquer on this.
i do use now 2x battery saver, which does the same thing as the juicedefender, but even before that, my battery is very well managed. I would assume that the fact of cell standby being on the top of the list when you havent been using the phone for anything else is logical to be there. That IS what will be draining the battery. I would only see the problem on those handsets that this drain is not within acceptable limits, ie, whatever people have measured as normal drain for these circomstances.
I use juicedefender and with the latest update the battery drain is less than 2% an hour, im happy with that
Ive always found by the the biggest drain in standby being data always being on
That's not totally correct. Data is not what is actually draining your battery (at least it never was for me).
It's 3G not being in IDLE due to sending/receiving data, fast dormancy not being (properly) supported by the network or the network provider having a badly configured/balanced network.
If you switch to 2G, you'll find that your phone can run 2 days with data enabled if not heavily used.
Big exception seems to be Exchange's ActiveSync which is, when an account is configured (whether enabled or not) always top-of-the-list in BetterBatteryStats. But well... Exchange sucks anyway =)
I should have typed 3g data, this single act of letting the 3g connection be managed by juicedefender doubled my battery life
Yeh i have no idea for the technical reason but managing the 3g connection makes a big difference to me
hmm i am not aware of the actual network causing problems with the drain issue during 3g/2g signal. I only knew that when the signal is bad in general or you get no signal at all, then the phone is wasting too much energy trying to log on to a network itself.
i have the 3g swap on my 2x battery saver to rotate every 5min when the screen is off. Its the smallest amount of time you can apply. However i dont know if im the average phone user, as i see here lots of people doing a lot more things with their handsets during a day.
Not so sure about the 3G data thing but I'm only using the phone on wifi with data disabled and I still got the battery drain.

Wifi is another issue, especially when you have the 5Ghz band enabled and your phone hops between both. Try checking if your Wifi's channel is crowded and configuring the router to another less crowded one.
Then force your phone to use either the 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz band depending on your setup; drain should've gone away.

'keep wifi on when screen times out'?

what are others thoughts on some of the pros and cons of this update? i'm thinking it will actually save battery to have wifi 'always on' in standby mode rather than repeatedly switching between a on/off state which uses more energy.
It will definitely eat more battery if it's always on under the lockscreen...
Also there is an option to deactivate notifications when new wifi hotspots are around.. if you are about battery life you should deactivate this..

I keep my Wifi always on because it consumes the least battery (vs 3G, LTE, etc).
If I don't play games on my Lumia 920 the battery can last 3 days.
This update is freezing my phone Dunno why but I have tested it. I occasionally get a freeze now and then, but when the keep wifi is on, it is like every couple of hrs... Will test it more though.

Wrong unless your phone is using 5-year old wifi chip.
Correct me if I am wrong, but is the wifi on this phone an on demand type system? From what I see on mine, the wifi unless being used for an actual update or downloading other content goes to sleep when the lock screen is on. It then wakes up if there is an update pushed to it or if something else needs it or of course if you unlock the phone. At least that is the way it appears that mine works.
Also your radio service are going to use much more power than the wifi will as they are higher power transmitters and receivers. There is a reason wifi only works within a few hundred feet and radio works for several miles that is due to the power difference. Of course with more power you get more battery consumption.
In the case of conserving the battery you are better off to use wifi when possible, leave it on and let the phone control it.
In my experience keeping Wifi on permanently lead to a remarkable decrease in battery life. That will depend on where you are though. If I have it sitting at home where it has Wifi connectivity it's likely that I would see better battery life because all actual transfers will happen via Wifi. At work though it can't connect to the Wifi network (private phone, work network) and so I have 3G running anyway while the phone keeps looking for Wifi networks to connect to.
The problem boils down to the fact that while you can switch off Wifi completely because everything can still work using 3G you can't switch off the phone part completely because only data is done over Wifi but you still need the mobile connection to receive calls/SMS.
I would suggest to anyone to simply try out what works better for them. For me it worked best to let Wifi deactivate automatically as it had been the default in WP since WP7 came out.

Maybe Wifi is using less power when you are downloading something and need a lot of data... But when your phone is idle... Constant on Wifi is using far more battery power than 3G that checks for email or weather every 1-2 hours...
Simple enough...if you are consistently in an area with a WiFi signal, leave WiFi "always on"...it will consume less battery. If you're in an area without WiFi signal then turn it off, as searching for a signal will help run your battery down.

Again, simply not true unless you are using a 5-year old phone. Even if you are in an area that has no wifi connection, the extra drain caused by searching for Wi-Fi networks is minimum in a modern OS and modern chipset. I have left all my android phones (the ones that offer Wi-Fi always on feature for a few years now) wifi on all the time. Never have felt much difference vs if I turn wifi off. It annoys me that WP didn't offer this capability for so long.

I tested a lot of phones Android and WP, my experience is that wifi always on is a battery killer... And I'm talking about state of the art hardware... It's just my 2 cent's but i keep it off...
When I don't charge overnight and wifi is always on my battery drops about 40%
with only 3G on about 8-10%
Foxbat: you can leave it any way you want to do it. I'm not saying Microsoft should remove the feature. But in my experience keeping Wifi on kills the battery faster. I tested it for my use case with always on and with Auto and in the end: Auto it was for me.
The best advice you can give to people is: try it out yourself and you will see what works best for you.
A picture or two says it all. See the attached files for my two testing: one with wifi always on for 24-hour and one with Wi-Fi in auto mode for 24-hour:
The right picture shows 0.0%/hour under current discharge rate... pretty impressive

The keyword is 'Current' -- means at that moment. You can derive the same thing from the left in various sections. The key here is that I don't see any discernible difference. Certainly not a battery killer in any sense as you claimed.
If you look at the first 12-hour period of both chart (when the phone is mostly sleep and not used), the result is almost identical. FYI, there are three push emails connected all the time: Hotmail, GMail and Corporate Exchange Email.
Yes the keyword 'Current' -- means at that moment... so your phone is not discharging although your screen is on... Very accurate app...

So, what you saying is that if you have the screen on, you will see your battery percentage drop immediately? You should return your phone if that is the case.
Battery app get its information from the phone OS reporting. If the OS reported the same battery percentage over a short period of time, the discharge rate won't be anything other than zero. That's limitation of the platform, not app.
Instead of criticize the app which is not the point of the post, why don't you post your findings where leave Wi-Fi always on kills your battery?
it' % per hour... and your phone is using currently using 0,0% per hour so if you leave it like that it will run for ever... so where is the mistake?

% per hour is a unit of measurement. It doesn't mean you have to take one hour to measure it in order to claim its rate. That will be average rate on that hour, not current rate which is meant to see what your current usage pattern is. It can't be used to predict your battery life. If you notice that when you take your phone off the charger, it will stay on 100% for quite some time before it starts to drop. Does that mean your phone battery can last forever? Think about it before post these ridiculous statements.
Foxbat - you are trying to tell us how our devices should behave while we are telling you how they actually behave in the real world out there. You can repeat your 5 years story as often as you want to but it clearly doesn't live up to the factual reality we experience every day and I guess after trying it out with different ROMs on the 920 and leaving all other settings the same I know the effect it had pretty well.
Nice to know though that you are having a different experience with different devices.

[Q] [ROM] [LiquidSmooth v4.0 - Android 5.0 - 12/16] [Unofficial] [Geeb]

having battery drain issue, cell standby and over-counted are the main reasons showing in battery stats. how can i get rid of that? after full charge it takes 4 to 5 hours to plug in the charger again.
What are you showing us here? Looks to me like a mostly idle run over about 12 hours, getting roughly 2% per hour drain. That's a little higher than I usually see, but not horrible depending on conditions, especially if the small amount of use you did have was demanding. How much screen on time are you getting out of a full battery run?
I would suggest getting the app betterbatterystats (search xda) to get a better idea of what your issue is, if you actually have one...
Thanks for the reply. I was trying to say that why stand by time consuming that much percentage? Is that normal while data and wifi disabled? And what is that over-counted thing? As you said stand by time is little higher than normal and depends on condition. What kind of condition you're talking about?

I've never run with both data and Wi-Fi turned off (I use data for notifications when idle) so that might be higher than expected idle drain. I typically see 1 - 2% per hour drain in that configuration.
In my experience, you'll need to better narrow down the cause of the drain if you want to fix it. It may be due to weak cell signal (though your screen shot shows what appears to be decent signal), or possibly an app that frequently wakes in the background looking for a network connection. If that is the case, having data and Wi-Fi off may actually hurt your battery performance.
Get the BetterBatteryStats app, it will help you narrow down the cause.
No Voice Mail Icon
Great Rom, great battery life. I found couple of bugs.
1. No Voice Mail icon.
2. Screen doesn't come on sometime if using Google Now Launcher and Google Now is ON.
3. Service provider say Bell while I am with Virgin (Actually Bell owns Virgin but something I notice)
4. Back key size( check the picture attached)
Thanks for this great rom. (Liquid smooth 5.0.2 Dec 20)

Try to install better battery state and then check which one of factors to waste your phone battery.

Try turn off background WiFi and Bluetooth scanning. Then disable Bluetooth, reboot, then enable Bluetooth.
Also goto settings. Network. Mobile network. Advanced. And check default LTE settings.

About the wifi and Bluetooth scanning, it is already disable.
Couldn't find the advanced options in mobile network:
8 hours of sleep, just wifi on. Cache cleared... 23% of battery drain...
Went to sleep with 80% of battery. Enable airplane mode, 6 hours of sleep, 0% of Barry drain. It's something related to SIM signal.
Will test with one SIM only (I use 2 Sims).
Last test: ONE SIM card, wifi off, battery saver, no airplane mode, 6 hours of sleep. 2% of battery drain. Definitely there is a problem with some SIM cards. Without my second SIM card the problem is gone.
That's strange. Tomorrow i'm going to change my sim card from my provider.

With just one SIM card, so far so good. Idle battery drain is excelent. In use battery drain still high, but the major problem was the idle battery drain.
I will wait for the next update to insert my second SIM card again.
I have the same problem. I had another mi 9 two weeks ago that drained 1% overnight (8-10h) with the previous version of 10.2.13. Now I have my actual mi 9 10.2.13 and it was draining 4-5% in 8-9h (a total of 25-30% drained in 48h standby, an atrocity). I have chatted with xiaomi customer support and they told me to try a factory resset in the recovery.
Now I'm only with WCDMA every reboot, with battery saver enabled, Wi-Fi/data/bluetooth/all off but without airplane mode (only signal active), all optimized to gain battery life and my mi 9 10.2.13 drained only 2% in 9h overnight (not bad at all, but it still twice that my first mi 9).
Before that, I have tried everything without result. I know that all the battery draining is a problem of the standby draining because of the modem/radio/signal, I have tried the airplane mode all night an my 10.2.13 mi 9 only drained 1% overnight instead of 4-5%.
With the first mi 9 with the previous version, I had made 7h SOT with 1h PUBG gaming in 48h with the same options and with the chinese signal searching TD-SCDMA 3g, and the actual mi 9 only did 6h without gaming in less than 72h because of the drainage.
Customer service have recommended to return the mi 9 to Amazon if I continue with draining problems. Maybe I'll try try stable xiaomi.eu ... or maybe I'll try another mi 9 because I have read that there are at least 2 modem versions, and I think that I have the ****ty modem -.-

Cell Standby battery drain, please contribute :D

Hey guys,
So apparently the cell standby on my 9t + eu stable rom device is also high, like some of other xiaomi device users. Its about the same percentage as the screen usage, which is a bit rediculous to me.
I have tried switching to LTE/WCDMA, but that did not seem to help.
I am trying some other settings such as disabling Smart wifi/Mobile data switching, disable AGPS , disable bluetooth such to see the effect. Since nobody is siue about the real cause, lets just try with everything that is even slightly related to mobile radio.
So if you would like to contribute, please provide the following information:
- Do you have outstanding "cell standby" drain while mobile data is enabled?
- During all this time on battery, on you on wifi?( i.e. not using mobile data theoretically)
- is your bluetooth enabled and connected to something.
- Smart wifi/Mobile data switching enabled?
- Network type? ( in *#*#4636#*#* menu)
- AGPS enabled?
- Your region, Mobile service provider/company, and if the mi 9t is missing any lte band with your provider?
- **** Add any info you think can be useful. ****
Lets crowd source the problem and hopefully we can either solve it, or find the cause to the problem and tell Xiaomi so that they can fix it...
Also posted on miui EU forum for hopefully more input
So for me,
- i have high drain from cell standby during the day.
- Wifi is enabled, which theoretically should require much less cell data transmission.
-bluetooth enabled and connected to mi band 4
- smart wifi switching disabled
- lte/wcdma, and slot 2 disabled
-agps disabled
- Canada, rogers, and missing band 18 and 26, i think
I have big standby cell drain (same as screen) BUT...
I decided to check drains last week, my test consisted to close everything and go to sleep (8 hours stand by)
- WiFi enabled and data off (LTE/WCDMA singal): 2% drain.
- WiFi enabled and data off (LTE/ TDSCA/UMS singal): 4% drain. Airplane mode and WiFi enbaled: 2-1%
So for me I think it's just a visual bug. Not real life usage actually, so I have no problem if the battery states that.
Region Mexico, ATT, GPS disabled always
Hope this helps

hummm..i though cell standby drain would only occur if mobile data is enabled, no matter the state of wifi. If data is off then the phone is not communicating with the towers then it shouldn't be using much battery.
And your battery stats seem to confirm this.

so definitely the mobile signal lol At about 1%/hour.
With other phones this may be acceptable but the 9t has a 4000mha battery lol seems the percentage consumption can be lower

Oh no, I mean that it went from 7 to 6 porcent. Only 1% lost over 6 hours.

hummm..i though cell standby drain would only occur if mobile data is enabled, no matter the state of wifi. If data is off then the phone is not communicating with the towers then it shouldn't be using much battery.
And your battery stats seem to confirm this.

wow you guys have good battery consumption lol
I am also in Toronto (Telus). Got the Mi9t about 1.5 weeks ago. My discharge rate with screen off is also about 1%/hour (measured with AccuBattery). I am running stock on latest global rom. The cell standby drain looks like a misnomer to me or possibly combines multiple services behind the scenes. My overall battery life has been excellent, easily going 1.5 days between charges.
Hi, I have a problem with my Mi9t.
I've noticed that my phone is always active, even at night when I'm not using it. The only app that I've blocked from stopping is blokada, because I've noticed that If i kill it in the Miui task manager it kills it completely and I have to restart it every time. I can't find in the battery settings a particular app that consume so much battery. I've also GPS disabled and my Bluetooth is always active for my miband (but Bluetooth voice in battery usage is not that big...) hi
Any idea?

Hi, your battery reporting doesn't mean anything, you have to post it when your battery is almost empty to see usage

I will, nonetheless I have this situation even when I'm at the end of my battery life. the "active" voice in the diagram is always active, even when I'm not using my phone
I'm debugging this problem too. it appears to happen only when connected to wifi. i've disabled VoLTE and so far i tried LTE/UMTS (prl); LTE/TD-SCDMA/UMTS and LTE/WCDMA. they appear to be all the same.
the fact the it only happens on WiFi means that there's something wrong with the GSM mode (because radio switches to 2G when connected to wifi). I'll try next "Mobile data always active" in developer options, that will keep WiFi and 4G on all the time. we'll see how it goes.
also it could be only a report bug on the battery stats. i keep getting ~9h SOT with this so.......
9 hour of screen? Do you have a nuclear battery?
Usually I use more 4g than WiFi, WiFi works better only at home. Btw I charged the phone this morning, 100% full, now I'm at 62 after 12 hours, but only with a 1 hour and half of screen time....
I have a push mail for work and some WhatsApp message, but nothing else....
