Hello.
I don't know why, but since I bird this phone I got huge problems with battery life. Since the phone was LP-powered, it was hard to get more than 2h when using normally. Now I'm on MM, and with both Stock and Custom (RomAur) roms I can't get more than 3h. But the thing is, if I go into Airplane mode, my phone gets really good in battery. But if I only turn the data off, it still drain the battery...
I've heard of something called "fast dormancy" by another thread. Is it the problem ?
What should I do ?
Thanks in advance. Daniel aka. _cab13_
what I do before is I set my network type to GSM if I am not using the phone for internet (like if I am on wifi). try to see if this helps.
I think your problem has something to do with mobile radio active bug.
No it is not. Radio active bug is related to Data. But data is not the problem. It's cell and calls connection. If I turn my data off, it still eats battery, but if I start Airplane mode, it's okay

I installed BBS and it shows me that PowerManagerService.Display and PowerManagerService.WakeLocks are the most eating wakelocks...
Any idea ?

Hi there!!
I have noted that since I have updated the phone with the last firmware 2.31, very often I turn on the phone and it doesn't get phone signal. I have no signal at all and even if I manually try to connect it I cannot do nothing. The only solution is reboot the phone. Anyone else is experiencing this??

I'm the only one who he's experiencing this?
I got a similar problem after the update (in my phone it doesn't see the sim card): disabling fastboot mode in power settings solves the problem but startup takes much longer (as a reboot).
So now I don't switch off the phone anymore, I just put it in flight mode: it drains only 2% of the battery overnight.
Ciao

Same problem here since updating TWO phones via Orange. Awaiting third phone and told not to perform the new update to this phone ?? as there is a charger/software problem ??
it seems that last updated is not that great...they have messed up with signals, also they have removed all audio profile from equalization except for the beast one...
So, I was digging around the junk drawer and found my sister's old T-Mobile G2X. I figured I could use GrooveIP and Google Voice to have a good WiFi only work phone. After installing the latest CM7 nightly, I noticed the battery percentage was at 100% even though I hadn't Charged it in like a year. After some reading, I found that Airplane mode freezes the battery stats and gives you outdated battery data. My problem is, with airplane mode off, the battery stats work, but the cell standby is so outrageously high (60-80%) that the battery drains too quickly. Is there any way I can turn off data and get rid of the cell standby drain without airplane mode? I've tried *#*#4636#*#* and put preferred network type to CDMA and GSM/CDMA AUTO andd fiddled around with radio on off settings, but that enabled airplane mode. I'm running the phone without a sim card, should the cell radio even work? Sorry if I'm not making sense. Thanks for your help in advance.

Wow thanks man, this is exactly what I was looking for! I don't think I'm even going to dual boot, it's exactly what i needed.
Hi all, in my M2 even i turn off the wifi, at the battery status graph it says my wi fi was always on.
The wi fi bar was all ways in blue color.
Is any one having this issue???
Yeah., I have been wondering the same. It probably has to do with the Stamina or WiFi settings, where we let Android managing the WiFi. Still don't worry, WiFi isn't the battery drainer. LTE with a crappy signal (like mine) is.

Ahhh.. nice to have a one like me having the same sort of thing.
.
I was thinking by having a costume rom i can get rid of this issue, But if i do that i have to get rid of the warrantor :crying:
I think it's because "Search is always available" (or something like that) is enabled in advanced Wi-Fi settings. I noticed that too.

Looking to hopefully fix this cell standby battery drain. Is it possible to turn off volte on Verizon S6?
thanks
Settings then advanced calling.
Turning it off will not help. This is a known issue.
What has worked for me is turning advanced calling off, wiped cache, turned advanced calling back on.
One time I forgot to turn volte back on and I still had the drain until I turned it on.
Let me know your results. I had to get a replacement because nothing stopped the drain on my first s6

So I followed your advice for advanced calling and my phone is at 95% and cell standby shows 1%. Is this good?
Give it a day and post your battery stats with info on how long you were on wifi. Way too small of a sample size here to determine
Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
Will do. But where can I get the WiFi stats?
Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
That's just your estimate.
Ex: out of my total 24 hours I was on wifi for about 20.
I don't know if there's a way to know exactly how long you were connected to wifi unless you turn it off every time you leave where you are on wifi.

So I my phones at 14% are 7hrs 16mins on battery. I was on wifi probably about 75% of the time. my cell standby is at 15%. Stats in the screen show.
Is this bad?
For reference... Almost 100% WiFi today, 50% left battery power.. Mostly phone calls today, and doing some reference look ups. I don't play games on my phone.
Having cell standby at 15% on mine. Is that to high? I was doing a lot of data transfer today over wifi. Coping files to my google drive.

Yes your standby is too high. Have you done the workaround? Also what was your sot
Here's what I've been getting
Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
When you say workaround, do you mean wipe cache then turn on advanced calling.? I've done that and also factory reset and then the advanced calling again.
Anything else to try.
thanks

Time for a replacement device
Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
Bummer. So does the cell standby increase usually when on wifi most of the time?
Also, I;m rooted and I know I need to unroot before going to version, but should I unroot before calling thier tech support?

Most people experience it while on wifi. Some people have reported they still get the drain while not on wifi.
I never call tech support. I always walk into a corporate store. On this occasion I said I have terrible battery drain. Told them quickly it was before and after the OTA, tried a couple workarounds I found on xda. No questions asked and they ordered my replacement. Took him longer to make a minor account change (changed first name from David to Dave) than the replacement process took.

sounds good. I'll flash back to stock and head to verizon.

Good luck my friend. If there's anything else I can help with let me know

Are folks with the cell standby issue that return the phone for a new one, not seeing the issue. I guess it's a crap shoot if you get one that doesn't have the issue....right?
Just wondering if this will ever be resolved.
thanks again
I reckoned to have searched, only to find nothing really has been said of this issue since last year when apparently it was a big issue that was supposedly fixed..
So recently I've noticed my battery draining faster than usual. 3/4 SOT max and my battery needs charging.
It's down to the Samsung email app, mainly "Mobile radio active" racking up the time and draining my battery! Sometimes the email app uses more battery than my SOT.
If I had to pin point a time, it would probably be since the latest update when it happened - U1APEQ
Has anyone else experienced this? I need my emails syncing for work so can't turn it off.... but wtf is causing it :S
Edit: All stock, no root and use 4G data more than wifi.... Signal is always good.

Using Outlook now and disabled Email app from syncing anything.
Not ideal but it's OK.
