I had a rooted black s6 and switched to a stock phone cause my wife wanted the black one. Anyways, now that I'm on 5.1.1 I'm noticing the cell standby is crazy high, like 30-40%. I've scoured the forums for a fix and tried them all but none seem to work.
Figured I'd post here to see what anyone can offer. Thanks in advance.

Usually I would recommend the app betterbatterystats, but since you don't have root, I will just tell you the results I get. Kernel wakelocks are normally the biggest strain on battery for me, as well as the alarms. Cell standby is usually a bigger drain than others if the phone spends most of its time in deep sleep. Since there are no real fixes for these without. Revision to the kernel, you just need to pray that Samsung releases another OS update that fixes the bugs

I do not know much about battery stats but I got BetterBatteryStats and noticed in partial wakelooks that Dialer has quite a lot of time in partial wakelocks. Hours. I searched this and read that after poeple made phone calls their battery suddenly drained significally and that it has something to do with dialer picking on sensors all the time blootooh and other theories. I'm pretty much clueless, do I have this issue? Ineed battery seems to go fas during/after calls. Is there a fix? I have stock rom, I am not comfortable with doing much to my phone because I am simply clueless and WILL brick it even if procedure is fool proof lol.
I have been looking at this for a couple days now and still am running cm71 alpha 7. In spare parts, there is battery history. My running time, wifi on, wifi runnning is 100%. Screen on is way less. So far disabling bluetooth has helped a lot but the dialer is still running.

Hello,
I got my (Verizon) Samsung Galaxy S3 two days ago, and rooted and flashed it with the CM 10 Nightly builds after a couple of hours of using touchwiz. Everyone has been saying that they are getting more out of their battery with CM 10, but my experience hasn't been too good. I am getting maybe 9 hours of battery with normal use. When I got the phone I run it down to 10%, turned it off and then charged it back to 100%.
I have turned off 4gb (as I don;t have no real 4g signal around me), have the display on the lowest setting and have even under clocked it to 1.2ghz and it's still draining fast.
I have been reading through some forum threads and there are people with the same issue as me, some say they think it’s a faulty battery so they ordered a new battery but never post back there results.
Others say that doing a reset of the phone/reflashing CM 10 does the trick.
I have also experience my phone getting warm to the touch when just checking facebook or web browsing. My phone core seems to be running at 90-95 Fahrenheit when it feels warm and have never seen it go above 100.
I’m open to resetting my phone, but as I have just set up everything, I would rather not to.
I know this is a lot of information, but any advice at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

a few things.
if youre running a launcher some allow you to backup your homescreen settings, even the free versions
i have never gotten that bad of battery life out of a CM10 rom. Your screen on time is a more reliable idicator of your battery health than hours of use. the hours of use statistic is easy to manipulate
run better battery stats to find any wakelocks you may have to see whats eating your battery.
Re
Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm not sure it's an app that's causing this, as I didn't install anything on the phone once I rooted it for a couple of hours and it was still draining fast.
I have gotten the betterbatterystats app and will post what I find out.
I am also not getting the best battery life. I am on paranoidroid 2.52. I had the phone fully charged, screen on watching a video in skyfire. I did not make 3 hours. Is this what others are getting?
Battery issue
You probably all know this already but the screen brightness level also effects the battery a lot. I set mine to auto.
I'm wondering if you flashed your radio and rpm to the latest leaked jb
Hi, I just installed Synergy Rom on my phone about a week ago and I have been experiencing terrible battery life. It only last 10 hours max which I don't understand because I used to get a whole 24 hours out of one charge. I've calibrated the battery and let it run at least 3 cycles of complete charge and discharge. I turn off data, wifi, gps, auto sync, etc while not using it. I even turn off auto backlight and turn it to the lowest setting to try and save some battery there, but to no avail. Can anyone help me?? I'm using ziggy kernel as well in case anyone was wondering. Oh one more thing! When I do use the phone I tend to use it somewhat heavily but most of the time I'm in class or at work where I don't touch it. I thought maybe it was because I don't get good cell reception on campus and it was constantly searching and trying to maintain a signal but I'm not sure. Anyone know what's going on?! haha Thanks for any help!
Use the app for betterbatterystats to see what could be causing the drain.
Hi Guys
I'm currently on Stock Android w/ Franco Kernel, Rooted and as I was watching my battery level closer after the first few cycles, I noticed that Cell Standby was making up a huge amount of my battery consumption.
In BBS I personally don't see anything reflecting that, but as you see in the attached screenshots Cell Standby consumption is huge. I've never experienced something like that with my former phones. Could the reason be, that I have bad reception over the day?
Any sugestions what I could try to fix that?

I'm having the exact same issue. My cell standby is at 49%. I can't even go a full work day without charging it (something I didn't have to do with my nexus 4).
I've turned mobile data off for now to see what's going on. I have friends with Nexus 5s and they're getting pretty good battery life. I might even erase my phone and start over again to see what's going on.
That's weird. Have you tried reflashing the kernel? Not sure if that'll really matter or not, but it would be worth a shot.
What is your Phone Idle time showing in comparison to your screen on time and standby time? I'm just really surprised your WLAN is showing as off. I take it that's a fix related to the kernel too? Mine is always on no matter what I do (I'm running stock though).

Yes, I tried reflashing the Kernel, but I guess it's not kernel related. Tonight I fully charged it and took it off the charger, and left it there for four hours. (Screenshots attached) I have Mobile Data always on, and WLAN (as I've currently no WLAN router here) as well as Location Services always off.
Everything seems about right, just the Email-sync is a little bit off the charts in terms of wakelocks. The next things I'm going to try are disabling email sync, then switching radio, and if nothing helps, a complete restart from scratch with a Factory image.
I understand that when there is poor signal the cell standby is going to drain but this seems to be a bug. Once I return to good signal the cell standby shouldn't continue consuming battery. If I forget to put my phone into airplane mode before I go into the hospital the bug will drain it no matter if I get back into good signal area shortly after. If I get into airplane mode before the bad area and turn it the radio back on after leaving the area, my battery lasts fine the rest of the day.

Hey everyone,
It's been a while since I posted on the forum since although I wasn't overly happy with my battery life, it wasn't giving me too many problems. However the last couple of days have been a nightmare! For the record, my phone is not rooted.
I've attached some screen shots which I took on the fly, but I've been getting some really weird results from GSam. Since the 500% result I've reset the cache and the other images are what the battery is currently using.
However since its draining so fast I can barely see myself able to go anywhere without a charger!
I usually leave wifi and 4g off overnight anyway so when I woke up earlier I was surprised to see it with a 10% drain from doing absolutely nothing. I had to put it into power saving mode last night as I needed my alarm for the morning and was worried the phone would drain too quickly.
As far as I can tell the phone is sometimes entering deep sleep and sometimes not. It wasn't at all last night and isn't currently either. I really have no idea what the problem is and wanted to feel out some ideas before I factory reset the phone for the second time. I kind of wanted to avoid it if poss but am beginning to think it might be the only option. I'm also now worried there's something wrong with the battery
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Try debloating stock rom, use free debloater from XDA (You dont need root to use it). I've uploaded my list of debloated apps as reference, double check what You'r using and if You'r not sure what app does what try google-ing it.
You can also try disabling stock Chrome browser and install Chrome Beta (I've been using it for few years and never had any problems with it)
Also beware of disabling Samsung Store etc. as some members of XDA pointed that after disabling it, it won't work untill factory reset.
Check my previous posts, I've uploaded screenshots of my battery life with debloated rom from this list.
Does it work on Mac? I don't have a Windows computer. I've not done this sort of thing before, is it easy to do? :/
I'll look up chrome beta but I don't know if it's anything to do with that since it's pretty bad even when I'm not using anything. I wish I could tell what was rinsing my phone battery. Maybe I should attempt to root it after all.
