Cell Standby battery drain - Huawei MediaPad M5 Questions & Answers

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?

[Q] Cell Standby Battery Usage on WiFi Flyer

I looked at my battery usage on my Wifi only flyer and noticed that cell standby was account for over 70% of my battery usage (there are different categories for WiFi usage). This does not make sense, anyone else noticing the same thing?

I had this too. Mine is a 3G version but I am WiFi a lot too. I am having some success with Juice Defender available in the market. I am using its tablet mode which when connected to WiFi disables the cell completely and has definitely helped with battery drain overall. I reckon I get 10-20% better battery life now overall.
Don't have that problem on my WiFi Flyer. In 8h 17m on battery, my display is 82%, wifi 7%tablet idle 4% Android os 3%, Dolphin HD 3%, bluetooth 1%. Still have 70% battery life. Haven't used it much today.
yup... just turn it to airplane mode... you can still use the wifi and no cell standby issues... also makes me wonder if the cell radios are in there and if there is a way to get them on a network

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

Hi guys , this is my first post here.
I have a Alcatel Onetouch Idol 2S (6050Y) and it has terrible battery. I have tried almost every solution for Cell Standby on this forum but it did not work so I am posting my own thread. Problem is Cell Standby which uses around 30 - 50% of my battery and Phone Idle which uses 20-30%. I have disabled Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, Sync, Data Connection, Location, Location History, Keep WiFi on during sleep mode is on only when plugged in, Scaning Always Available is disabled, there are no Device Administrators, Wakelock Detector does not show anything strange and almost everything that I don't need is disabled. I use 2G network only.
I disabled some bloatware using root to get more battery, from 11 PM to 8AM it drains around 4% in idle, which for me is pretty good, but everytime I turn on my WiFi and start going to Youtube or Google it starts heating up like crazy and I cannot hold it in my hand, and DU Battery Saver reports 40 degrees Celsius when Youtubing or on Chrome. The battery goes down really fast. GSMArena reports that my phone can be upgraded to Android 4.4 ( its 4.3 now ) but when I press System Updates nothing happens. I think I have a pretty good signal ( 89 dBm ) and every other android phone in my house does not have such problems other than mine.
GSMArena reports that my battery is supposed to have 2150mAh but DU Battery Saver reports a 1390 mAh battery capacity. What is going on in here ? App called Battery Monitor says that there are 2 states of battery capacity 2137 mAh and 1390 mAh. What do I do to repair my phone?
Bumping, please help guys
