I am on stock rom, rooted, and using ElementalX Kernel. I don't think that really matters because whatever ROM I am on or whatever kernel, the battery drain is still there. In betterbatterystats, wlan_rx_wake is draining my idle battery horribly, along with a bunch of other random wakelocks. I've tried the majority of the solutions, but none have worked for me. And also, turning off wifi just gives me bam_dmux_wakelock. Is there a way any of you know that gets rid of the wakelock? Any help would be much appreciated. Also note in the screenshots the battery started from 90. (rebooted)

I was getting pretty bad standby battery life also. Turns out that I live at the fringe of LTE coverage where I'm at with tmo. Switching to 3g preferred has substantially increased my standby battery life. I was also missing calls/texts. Turns out that the phone was switching between LTE and 3g/3.5g very often causing all of my issues.

One your battery may not be calibrated correctly. And if your wifi is causing such a drain turn it off when you are not using it.
I am on axura. Not having same issue. It could be apps you have installed

odd do yu think the wifi is causing a wake lock or something
I am not sure but I believe you can change your wifi settings to turn off faster when phone us sleeping

that just makes the 3g go on though
What i do is install One click lag fix utility and just use it's wifi timeout changer, works great
I'm having the same issue. Which RC are you using? I'm using the newest RC 2.2. I posted in the Axura support thread, so I hope to hear back soon
I have been running CleanRom 3.0 for about 7 months now and have been getting great battery life. For the last week or so I have been getting horrible battery life and i cannot figure out why. I have not done anything different or added any apps since the fall. I have done all the tips and tricks to saving battery ....display set at 10%/30 seconds, All notifications turned off, gps off, bluetooth off etc... I can usually get an average of 22 hours before needing to look for a charger.
Today:
10.5 hours and 12% left. Not even 2 hours of screen time. I have phone forced on 3g and get good reception at my home where I was for most of the day.
Can someone please give me some insight here? maybe I'm missing something??

Maybe your battery itself.
There are far to many variables that play a part in battery life.
Look into 5.6 and remember to toggle off data and WiFi when not in use.
Worth a try.
Edit: now I clearly see you toggle WiFi and data off when not in use. Haha sorry.

Agreed, try changing kernel or kernel settings, gov types, speeds, tweak options.
Sometimes it take alot of trial and error to figure out the best rom/kernel combos. May also have to change a few things in the rom and/or kernel to do so. Goodluck!
You can try an app call "Better Battery Stats"
I've had the phone for just over a day now and the battery life has been fantastic when outside where I have great coverage. However, for the past couple of hours I have been studying in the basement of the library at my college and I noticed that my battery drains around 20-25% per hour (not a typo) when my phone is not attached to AT&T's network, and it is searching for a network. The only application that I have that accesses data when the screen is off is Google Now, and even that has location settings turned off.
It appears that Google Now will constantly try an access a data network even if you are in an area with no coverage at all. My Galaxy S3 did not have this issue. The phone would simply stop accessing data after a short period of time if it could not attach to a data network.
Anyone else have this issue? I have had to turn data off and it seems to have fixed the issue. My phone is no longer using any battery idly.

Does that drain persist after a reboot? My phone started chewing through battery for no reason at about 35 hours of uptime.
From what I experienced on my S3 and also the N5, whenever I go to school, I'd have to turn off my data because my coverage sucks there. However, if I leave the data on, it begins to roam/search for 3G signal and will eventually drain my battery. What you're experiencing seems normal to me. Just turn off your data and hop onto the WI-FI connection to conserve your battery. Seems to do the trick for me all the time.

Idk how bad this is, you can see my screen time is barely on and my phone is barely awake, yet i get 8 hrs :l Idk if other people phone is the same. Plus half of the time I had my network disabled...
I'm still on 4.1.1 :l I heard that's a really bad for battery. If I upgrade to 4.4.2 will it make a difference?
That doesn't look very good. Can you provide more information on your device please? Stock/modified? Bootloader details? ROM/kernel?

Out of curiosity how many apps have you installed and uninstalled since your last flash? How many do you have currently installed? Have you tried benchmarking your standby times on a freshly flashed device with only stock/gapps installed?

Battery life will vary but for me this is what
I get on a 4.4.2 ROM. If you are in low coverage areas it drains battery way fast

What you're saying about battery draining quickly in a low coverage area is spot on. I don't think providing your own battery usage helps much though because battery stats vary wildly from user to use even on the same ROM, there are too many variables.

About 3 hours of on-screen time has been the average for me. Phone's about 2 years old.
Okay I remember when I had the s6 when checking battery usage cell standby was always on top and now after a day with the Note 5, I'm noticing cell standby also shows high usage.
Is anyone else having this issue?

I saw someone on one of the battery related posts here saying disabling voice over LTE relieves a big drain on battery. I did it on mine last night and cell standby is no longer at the top of my list
Edit: if you don't know how to disable VoLTE, open your phone app, at the top right go to settings, and the option will be in there

So... I tried this out and nothing. is there something else I need to turn off? Cell Standby is still the number 1 drain on my phone.
It's caused by VoLTE and WIFI Calling.

I was having this same issue and disabled both and this worked for me.

I disagree I started getting high cell standby, I'm talking over 25% and now it's almost non existent. I didn't turn off any of that. In fact all I did was go into settings>storage and delete the app cache. Now look at my stats.
