Motorola Admiral :: Cell Standby Always Highest On Battery Usage
Mar 26, 2012
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
I have a problem with my iPhone 4s:Â Usage and Standby are almost the same, they only difference is about 3 minutes.The battery last about 6 hours and half even I don't use it!I restore iOS 7.1.1 already three times and nothing changes. There is only 3 apps installed: whatsapp, twitter and instagram . Location services are off, parallax too, email are set on manual. Sometimes I have no audio, system wide and music app...
I was just wondering what everyone else's experience with the battery life was. What's your best standby and usage time and was it with push email on or off?
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.
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 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.
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 checked the info under General > Usage and the "Usage" and "Standby" are exactly the same, which I am assuming means it is not really turning off when I am not using it. Is there a fix so my battery doesn't deplete in 8 hours?
My iphone 4 battery seems to be draining way too quickly. I just charged it up to 100%. Disconnected it and made sure that the following things were turned off: wifi, location services, notifications, mail. I double clicked the home button and closed all applications.
I am using 1% battery per hour. Usage reads 2 hours 5 minutes. Stand By reads 2 hours 5 minutes. Does this make sense? How can usage and stand by be the same when I have done nothing except hit the home button twice and looked at the battery strength?
my usage has been the same as my standby. which I assume means that ever since my iPhone has begun it's new "cycle" since the full charge. it's been "working". Normally I'd go through a charge cycle as almost 2 days of standby and 8-ish hours of usage; however last night my battery drained nearly 15%, and I noticed my usage increased to 17 hours. indicating that it had been active overnight. That I guess has continued today, since my usage and standby are both near 3 hours. what is going on all of a sudden? What apps may be running in the background and why?
My 4s is having serious battery issues. I do not have the option of taking it to an apple store. Nearest is 4 hours away. Done a hard reset. Did a restore as new. The phone loses 5-10% per hour in standby. The phone dies in 6-8 hours being mostly in standby. Standby and usage times are the same. I have everything on the phone turned off, no apps installed, I haven't activated my mail client, etc. Nothing is on the phone since restoring it as new. With wifi off, cellular data/roaming off, and location services off I still lose the same amount. Version 5.1.1(9B206) The phone used to work fine. I would have to charge it every other day.
My Iphone 4s is 8 months old and has always worked flawlessly. Since two weeks, however, I am experiencing a serious drop in battery life. I found out that the reason seems to be that the Iphone is working while in standby: my usage and standby stats are very close: for example, I wake up having charged the Iphone to 100% just before getting to bed, to find the usage stats say "7 hours of standby and 6 hours and 30 minutes of usage, and the battery percentage at 65%!! While I would literally not have touched the Iphone at all! Before the battery percentage would after 7 hours of not touching it be at 94 or 96%. In fact, the Iphone now lasts less than a day, I have to recharge every 18 or so hours on the basis of a usage of maybe 2 hours!
I have
- rebooted
- reset all settings
- deleted some, but not all, recently installed apps
- deleted e-mail accounts and re-installed them
- turned off 3g and wifi and notifications and location services and 'find my iphone' and, well, many other things.
- thought hard about what I did just before this change in battery life occurred which might have caused it, but can't think of anything significant. None of these bring back my iphone to anything close to its previous battery usage.
I like this feature especially when driving, however, could it be modified to first wake the screen if it's blank then wait for a second press to end the call? If a notification appears during a call, there's no way to see it without hanging up on the caller.
I've had a strange, but very frustrating behavior on my phone twice recently. My alarm will go off, but it will not make any sound whatsoever. I have the app alarm clock extreme and the regular android alarm. During this time, neither will make any sound. The default alarm will vibrate, but alarm clock extreme will not - although it should. A soft reset will fix the problem. Additionally, my ringtones will not make any sound when someone is calling. I'm trying to remember how the behavior was this morning, but I feel like pressing the volume up and down keys while the alarm was going off first snoozed my alarm, but then beeped to let me know the volume level.
My Admiral freezes/lags when dialing/redialing and the Touchscreen is unresponsive. Its really bad on missed calls. I can hit the green dial icon 20 times in a row and nothing happens. Finally wait for about 30-60 seconds and it will dial.
I routinely reboot. Not running alot of apps. Latest firmware. I've also noticed the browser is slow to render webpages no matter how fast the connection is.
I have noticed that the standby and usage times on my iPhone 4 are exactly the same. This isn't a coincidence. It has been like this since the first day I got it. Why is this?
From what I can remember from my first gem iPhone, the times were different. Why's it the same on the iPhone 4?
What gives? My usage is showing 30 hours as well as my stand by time, theyre exactly the same.I restarted the phone and now while they are different , they are still proportional with each other. After one minute of usage, both the usage and standby time increase.
