I have Verizon and I can't seem to figure it out, I've done a cache wipe and I'm about to do a factory reset. My brother got the same phone as my (Samsung Galaxy S6) and isn't having this problem.
Unfortunately, cell standby has been a major problem of mine for a long time. I know that it has something to do with connecting to WiFi while idle or sending streams of data required by some apps, but I don't know how to reduce the battery strain. It's battery drain can range from taking up to 25%-50% of my battery life, whether or not I use my phone during the day, and my phone will only last about 1/2 of the day.
I have been looking up ways on how to solve this on other popular threads on this site, but none have had any lasting solutions. I have done the usual battery saving tactics like turning down brightness, scanning for Wi-Fi, location, Google now, Bluetooth, sync settings, disabled bloatware that I don't need that commonly suck up battery life on other Galaxies, attempted both turning on and off advanced calling, and attempted the method where you wipe the cache partition and reboot the device, and reset the settings and restored to factory defaults, all of which only reduced the battery strain a little bit.
So, have z3 dual, havent any problems with him but after 2 mounth when comes 23.4.A.1.232 became some issue. That battery lifetime of cell stendby became 35% !!! before was 7-11% only. All daytame phone take full cell quality, 5 lines on sim1 and sim2
My phone, it's currently using 69% of my phone's battery, while other's are below 10%e's battery has been drained mostly by cell standby according to my phone's battery usage. Is there a fix to this?
How do I lower thse usage of those 2 on my phone? Because I'm having to charge my phone every day because at the end of the day, it's always like 50%-ish.
I've noticed that when sitting at home, one of my biggest idle battery drains is cell standby. Normally that would make sense, but I've been on WiFi the entire time my phone has been off the charger. As the screenshots show, both the WiFi and cell standby are sucking juice at the same time.
Just had my new m9, with 6.0. I noticed my cell standby in my battery usage list is over 30% most of the time. What can you say about it? Is it normal?
When I don't make many calls, my battery is used by cell standyby about 35-50%. It really drains the battery. Get about 15 hours with 3 hours screen time. How do I stop this high usage? I've done factory reset and wipe cache.
Something in my phone is causing the radio constantly be looking for a signal even though it has a signal. It seems like Im having to charge my phone at least twice a day now. Id like to steer clear of a factory data reset if I can, but if I have to I will. Running my phone with the GPS set to device only.
The stand by percent was at 11% this charge cycle. I've read that changing the preferred network type is a temp fix, but I don't see the point in disabling 4g if its meant to run on a 4g network. I've also read that google fit maybe a possible problem area. I honestly don't know what else to do. Its really frustrating that this good phone is just plagued by these small issues. Is there any way to clear the cache on the cell radios or anything like that? Also would I be able to run the Android M version of the radio firmware on my current build of 5.1? Running 5.1 build D for Verizon.
Finally got around to sticking my SIM card into my 6P and decided to leave it off the charger over night to see how much battery percentage it would take away. I fell asleep with the battery at 55% and awoke with it around 30%. Looking at the battery usage, cell standby is consuming more of the battery than anything else. I've seen this bug in previous versions of Android, but have not heard anything about it with 6.0. Is my phone bad?
When I look at the battery usage the one thing that stands out is that the highest percentage of battery usage is "CELL STANDBY". This just should not be!The top of the list should be "Phone Idle" if the phone is not in use. I basicly left the phone unused today. Pulled it off the charger at 9am. Phone network set to CDMA only. WiFi off, GPS off, Bluetooth off. By 10pm my battery was down to 30% with 60% used by Cell Standby. In reading other forums, this seems to be the norm for this phone. But that doesnt make it acceptable. I have run the *228 option 2 from Verizon to update cell tower info. And my service is very good. Pretty much always 4 bars and never a dropped call.
My Admiral does not seem to have the fantastic battery life I have heard these phones are supposed to have. Under normal usage It will not last a day without charging. I noticed that "cell Standby" is always the highest on battery usage. It's always above 25%, most times higher than that (30% to 40%). The area where I work has poor cell reception inside the buildings so I often go 25% to 50% without a signal (Sprint). Is there anything I could do to improve any of this? This is a work phone with a work email address conected to it. So I cant use an app that turns off syncing. Will keeping on wifi improve this? Seems wifi uses less power than cell standby.
If I don't use my phone much, I typically see my battery use status split ~50-50 between 'cell standby' and 'phone idle.'I have a strong signal here, so I doubt I'm not getting a signal 50% of the time.
I travel a lot and I rely on Cell info to know the place where I am at that moment using my old Nokia phone(6021). In my new Nokia 5530, I do not see any where to set the Cell Info. Is it that I am looking at a different place or is there any other utility that gives the Cell Info? I have not enabled GPRS because I don't require it. I only want the Cell info.
I am using a Motorola W220 mobile set.Previously I was using a Nokia phone and it had a feature named "Cell Info display".This feature wud let me know the area(city etc.) I am in at any point of time.How to enable this feature in my Motorola mobile phone?
I use gmail to receive emails on my Galaxy s5. But whenever I delete emails, they reappear as soon as I call for more emails. How do I stop this from happening?
I have to say that I am EXTREMELY impressed with the standby time for 5.1.1. The auto stop feature makes a world of difference. I fell asleep and checked my battery and woke up to this graph. I'm impressed considering I used to lose around 15-20% when I slept
Been using S6 for the past 2 weeks. From yesterday suddenly facing a strange issue.
The device does not wake up from stand by on even after pressing the home or power buttons continuously.
Every time I had to to soft reset by pressing Vol down + Power.
I was suspecting Greenify might do this since it hibernates apps on screen off. But now I have removed greenify from the device manager. Still I am facing this issue.
Haven't rooted or modded it (yet). Usual apps installed and some themes from the theme store. The battery is around at 83%. The caller can hear my phone ringing but i don't get any notifications or vibrations or sound.
I've seen than HTC phones with similar features than Nokia or Motorola cell phones for instance are cheaper.. Why is that?? For instance HTC Touch Viva is cheaper than Nokia 5800, Nokia 6790 or Motorola MOTOZINE ZN5... Why is that? What are HTC phones disadvantages compared with other brands phones?
Title says it all, I have a VZW S6 on latest update, will post pics below. Why is this happening and how could I fix it? Also i tried Wake lock detector but it is not working for me, says in kitkat needs root but I'm on lollipop with root and still not working.
I recently got a S6 and copied my S5 onto it. I haven't switched yet as I enjoy my S5 because of the screen, replaceable battery and SD slot. So I'm only playing around with the S6 at home.
I didn't use it for a day after charging it full and was very surprised when it started beeping about the battery after only 33 hours.
I have a iPhone 6 that I use only at home for different things I need iOS for and I get at least 72 hours out of that one.
Does it sound like normal battery use? No SIM only WiFi.
Last night I put my galaxy 6s into battery save mode, charged it to 99% and put it on the nightstand. This morning (8 hours later) my phone is at 48% charge. Do I have a bad battery or is there a setting or application on that is draining the battery? Battery shows 46% battery usage by cell phone.
I just got an S6 last week. So far I have tried almost all of the tweaks possible and still I find the idle drain a little too high for me.I disabled all google bloats except play service, store and gmail. Have fb, messenger, whatsapp. And have done the usual wifi search off, VoLTE disable, disable smart network switch etc. Also did a factory reset and cache wipe partition. I don't have high cell standby issue. However my battery drains at ~1.5% to 2% per hour idling with wifi. Just curious if this is the norm.
Also, my estimated battery life seem to show 14 hours at 100% charge. Even with power-saving, the estimate adds another 40minutes or so at most. I've seen some screenshots of people having ~18hours estimate. Is my battery defective?
Is it possible to get the wording of pushmails to flash up on the otherwise-on-standby screen for say 10 seconds. If not a setting, is there a widget or something that will do this perhaps?
