Cell standby draining the battery. Anyone notice? - HTC U11 Questions & Answers

Hi, I just got my U11 and using it for 5 days now. I notice that when I leave the phone at night, the phone lost battery around 10% everyday. From the battery stats, it said Cell standby is the most hungry one. Anybody found this issue?

I noticed it too, 40% battery usage was cell standby... ?

I'm seeing this too but I still get over 30 hours with up to 5 hours sot.
Guess cell standby is not draining battery, the rest just uses so little that this comes out on top.

Computed power use was 400+ mAh...

So what? I get 40 hours uptime and 7 hours SOT. The mAh reading is an estimation.

I also get standby or time without signal drain occasionally. running an unlocked sprint version on metropcs. hopefully htc releases some better radios in the near future.

Similar battery drain here for cell standby.
I'm on 1.27 stock rom.
Dual SIM with two SIM card active.
Any workaround?

Me absolutely same.. One screenshoot is on wifi second on mobile data.. Stock rooted ROM but same on unrooted

Someone has tried with Oreo firmware? Same drain?

Try turning off the Always Scanning for WiFi option. Also, change the Sync settings for apps you don't need to be synced at all times. And Location setting to Battery Saver.

When im at home i can pull close to 4hrs screen on . If im not on wifi the phone idle is terrible. I probably drain 6% or more per hr idling. Its hard coming from a note 4 , but i guess it is what it is.

Draining at 6% per hour is not good & unusual. But for Android 5.0.2, it seems about right, unfortunately. My N5 drained at that rate before the 5.1 update.
On my S4 with its 2-yr old battery, I drain at 3 to 3.5% per hour on idle with both WiFi & LTE turned off.
On my N5 with a new battery & 5.1, I idle drain at 0.7 to 1.5% per hour.
I'll add my battery drain rate once I get my S6E tomorrow.

This is mine on light usage. I noticed etter after a factory reset. Heavy usage is between 6 and 8 depending on wifi
I'm debating going to get one of these... My Note 2 keeps not charging and the stock battery died in 1:10 (from 50% to 1%) during a run yesterday. I was using spotify and mapmyrun.
Today is my first day after first full charge and my battery drains at ~3.5% hour, per GSAM.
I have screen brightness at little bit below the half-way mark with Auto Brightness checked.
I disconnected my phone at 6 AM and right now, it has been on 16 hrs 30 mins. I have gotten 2 hrs 30 mins SOT with 45% left.
Wifi active for 6 hrs, LTE for about 1 hr.
Screen has used 52% of my battery, Wifi 15% (5.0.2 shortcoming), Bluetooth (2%), Held Awake (0%), Phone (0%), Phone Radio (0%), App Usage (31%).
So far, the S6E is outperforming my Nexus 5 on 5.1 with a brand-new battery I swapped in on 4/1/2015.
Happy with the S6E's battery life, especially considering it's only 2600mah.
a little over 6hrs and it went from 100% to 14%. Granted 56%-23% were on a 1:43 run using Bluetooth headphones + spotify and mapmyrun mapping my way. Oddly, when I look at the battery usage, OneDrive is at 18%!
18 hrs & 37 mins off the charger with 4 hrs 8 mins of SOT. 17% battery left. I'm very happy with this. Update to 5.1 should improve it a lot more as it did on my Nexus 5.
Android System & Kernel battery usage is pretty decent. Those two on my N5 on 5.1 drains way more battery than it does on my S6 Edge.
When I'm not actively using my phone, the idle battery drain rate is pretty good - 1.9%/hour (similar to my N5, with the N5 being a bit better).
13 hrs & 9 mins off the charger with 2 hrs 20 mins SOT --> 52% battery left.
All this is without Root and my usual battery-saving Root programs.
Once 5.1 rolls out and if I decide to Root the phone and add battery-saving Root apps, I'm expecting to achieve 6-7 hrs SOT.​

Ive noticed that turning off location and disabling google now has helped my battery life a lot.
I love this phone, but the battery life is the one terrible thing. 7-10 hours seems to be the max. I might have to return it and suffer the summer until the note 5.
i'm surprised to hear about all the negative battery life issues on this phone. on my GS3, i'd lose 3-4% battery just driving to work - now I get there and still have 100%. maybe i'm just not as heavy a user, but the other day my phone was off the charger for 16 hours and I still had 43% when I got home - and that included using Google Maps for 20 minutes, texting throughout the day, and using a bunch of apps. when idle, I generally only get 1% battery drain. my only complaint about the phone is some of the UI that I can't customize, but it's only a matter of time before custom ROMs are available...
I lose 10% or more battery on the phone regardless if I'm using it or it is sitting with the screen off. When I drive the 45 minutes to work, the battery is at 89%-93%.
A 1hr run with it on my arm playing spotify/mapmyrun seems to use about 26%.
Basically, I'm always worried now about the battery dying when I'm using it.
at the end of next month, I have a 14hr+ a day for 4 days music festival where I can only charge it at night. 7-10hr battery isn't going to work for me. It seems bizarre to me that they made the best phone ever, but skimped on the battery.
drive to work today with the phone just sitting beside me, 100% to 86%.

Is your location on? I had to disable google now. Turned off nfc, advanced wifi scanning.
my battery sucks too :/
i live by the charger even more
with all the same activities that got 7-10 hours on my Edge, the Note 4 is getting 14-24hrs.
Battery is beyond horrible!
Wifi is off
NFC is off
What else can I turn off? I can't even get half day out of this POS.

I think you actually want Wi-Fi to be on. I find that on any android device I burn more battery when using cellular networks.

crazy cell standby powerdrain!

Hi there. just noticed that my u11 had 16% power, even though I haven't used it that much today. Cell standby has taken 30% off ny power?! I have a perfect signal at all times. Does anyone knoe if this is a bug or if its a fix? my screen on time today has only been 3 hours.

I feel it is there simply because nothing else in terms of the OS is using battery life.
My cell standby drain was 40% the other day. Didn't stop me getting 6.5 hours SOT with 35 hours uptime using 4g

hi, i have the same problem. 7 days ago I replaced the battery at my u11 because it didn't last that long, but the anomaly remained. there is always a high consumption of the mobile network standby item and I can't make more than 3 hours of screen on.

phone idle

Mine seems to be topping the list of battery drain
Further update ,is this normal phone idle useage
From the day one when I bought this phone, I had Battery drain and I've been using all tips and trick. mostly tweaking setting and surprisingly yesterday night I had 0% battery drain with turning off Wifi.

You have no cell signal?
Had cell signal all day
Don't get me wrong ,battery life is great so far today on 43% and had 3hrs 20 mins SOT,just strange to see phone idle at the top of the list
I'm having the same issue. Idle Phone drain definitely goes away when I turn on airplane mode but I haven't tried turning off WiFi yet. I transferred all of my settings and apps from a Pixel 2 XL that had no issues with power consumption.
99% after 8 hours idle overnight
stock ROM
unrooted
If I had to take a guess, some app is draining your battery.

Dispute this still getting great battery life with 5/6 hrs SOT
Is there any app that can help identify what is causing phone idle to drain the battery

Cell Standby Battery Drain

Hi,
I have 4 - 5 LTE signal. When I sleep, cell standby drained the battery.
On Battery: 16 hours with Wifi.
Cell Standby %21,6 - I don't know why.
Phone idle should be drain more than cell standby. Am I wrong? Is it bug? Has anyone faced this issue?
This happens to me only when connected to wifi. Doesn't matter to me, as the total battery life still exceeds a day with 5-6 hours SoT.

Perhaps it is a bug. I was just wondering "Am I the only one facing this issue?" Thanks for answer.:good:
A lot of users have complains about this.

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Samsung Galaxy S10e's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Not impressive, I lose about 1% every 30 min without using the phone :/ (Exynos)
This is pretty disappointing it looses 10 - 15% of battery overnight doing absolutely nothing.
I am losing about 2%/hour doing absolutely nothing.
My S10e loses almost nothing if I turn things off.
Airplane overnight = less than 1 percent
with AOD it loses a bit, 4-5

Excuse me guys, but its not true that the phone does nothing. It communicates permanently with the antenna signals and the network, so its absolutely normal that it drains battery. Every phone drains battery in standby, even when they are on airplane mode (although in this mode the drainage is much much lower)
If you want yout phone to actually do nothing, you have to turn it off.

Yea... no. My two year old Oneplus 5t, with nearly 100 apps installed, only drops 3 - 6% overnight with 4g on.
My 1 week old galaxy s10e with airplane mode on drops 10% overnight.

I havent said anything about the draing % being too high or not. I said that it is not true that the phone does nothing while being in standby. Which is a fact.
Mine is draining around 12-15% overnight.
Very disappointed with the battery life of s10e
Any tweaks we can do?

I use Bixby Routines to automatically turn airplane mode on during the time I'm asleep and it went from draining 15% to only 5%.
I just updated to the latest update ASCA, battery drain issue seems to be fixed. It drops less than 1% per hour now. (5% over 6 hours)

ASCA? Is your phone with Verizon? How did you update? This battery drain is killing me too. The only positive is that it seems the battery drain is about the same while using the phone.

Mine is the international dual sim Exynos version. I just got an OTA update about 3 days ago. I was also having pretty bad standby battery drain. 15% in 8 hours. Last night it only dropped 4% in 8 hours, which is pretty amazing.

Thanks for the reply. I'm downloading it now. Hope it fixes mine. I know there are always bug when first launched. If things aren't straightened out within 6 months I'm going back to pixel once the 4 comes out.
I don't believe it helped. Still losing a good but while in standby with aod off

When it lost 4% in 8 hours, did you have AOD/wifi/data/bluetooth on?
I'm on the ASCA update, but still have terrible standby drain on my Exynos S10e (3%/h).

AOD: OFF
Wifi: OFF
Data: ON all the time
Bluetooth: sometimes on sometimes off, I don't notice significant drain when it's on.
I literally had significant better battery life from one day to the next without doing anything. However I have had most of the useless apps disabled since day one, (Facebook, Bixby, Samsung stuff, etc.) I also have wifi and bluetooth scanning off. It is ON by default
Edit:
You should also follow some of these settings

New firmware ASD5 is out, maybe this will fix some draining.
I found deep sleep solution.
My s10e exynos (april firmware) was able to sleep only 10% of time.
After fix it can sleep 95+% (CPU Spy)
8 hours = 5% battery.
Open file “system/build.prop”
write “wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=200”
save
reboot
fixed

Thank you. Deep sleep has increased to 50% from 5% on my device.
