[Q] Standby / Airplane mode battery consumption

I have been using X10 mini pro since the past 3 weeks.
After a few days of discharging cycles, I see a improvement in battery performance. I've already read about the tips section on battery improvement.
I manage to get about 11-12 hours of standby with wi-fi/bluetooth/background data off (No Music, no videos, screen off 90% of time). Screen timeout is set to 30 secs.
I have not installed any other software apart from Helix launcher & Advanced Task Killer.
I observed that when the cellphone is left in Airplane mode for over 10 hours, battery depletes by just 1-2 %.
However, if I leave the cellphone in GSM only mode, the battery loses from 100% to 10% in just about 9 hours with display set to lowest brightness
The signal strength is always between -57dbm to -90 dbm in my area.
I'm not able to understand what is eating up the battery.
Initially I suspected that I'm not on the latest firmware which could be using a lot of battery on cell standby. But I see that the build number is 1.1.A.0.8
Anyone thinks that this could be a GSM service provider issue?
When is the next firmware update coming?

That is true, I have experienced this. It is not the Service Provider issue, it is something related to signal reception. If you are on call for 1 Hr battery, drains by 20-30%, this is too much.
The worst part is short duration calls, everytime you call some one, battery reduces by 1-5%. To make matter even worse, you cannot replace the battery

Battery on Wifi is Incredible

I'm in an LTE spot, but I have wifi at my office and in my home. I've found dramatic differences in battery life when on wifi vs. LTE. Overnight on wifi, the phone only lost 3-4%. Leaving LTE on for the early part of the day yesterday brought me almost all the way down to 40%.
I'd have to agree. I work from home and have been on wifi since Tuesday, and my battery is at 1d 13h 32m and still at 28%. I am all stock still.
Yeah +1 here. Discharging from 85% unplugged yesterday 1pm and phone is still alive after watching a tv series few calls and mild browsing.

Will 2G (Edge) for MMS Drain Battery?

will enabling 2G (Edge) only to check for MMS drain battery? i want it enabled all day but only to check for MMS.. so will this drain battery?
I always keep 2G enabled the whole day. It definitely causes more battery drain than when it's switched off. Normally in standby on my DHD I have a battery drain of 1% per hour. With 2G on and phone in standby, in an hour I lose more than that. Maybe 2% or so. But it's no problem as my phone lasts through the day, and my phone is supposed to have one of the smallest batteries for a big screen smartphone. On a phone with a bigger battery I don't think that extra battery drain will make a difference. What does kill my battery very fast though is 3G. I have much much more battery drain in an hour with it on.

Low signal and cell standby battery drain

I'm experiencing legitimate cell standby and what I assume is low signal battery drain on an SCH-I535.
This is not a case of the "reporting bug" which incorrectly identifies cell standby usage.
You can clearly see the battery drop off a cliff when I get to work. My location DOES have low signal strength, however the phone sits at 1-2 bars. I've turned off 4G and this has not helped at all. Cell standby usage is (correctly) reporting 70-80% usage when I'm in this location and only single digits at home. I've had a Droid X in this same location for two years and never experienced this probelm.
Are there any other suggestions other than turning of 4G?
suggestion: go to the right forum for your phone

Cell Standby battery drain

My SHT-AL09 has been averaging 30% battery drain due to cell standby. Great coverage in my area with stable, strong LTE signal but I can't seem to troubleshoot the problem.
Is this typical with Huawei devices?
