Cell Standby Battery Drain - Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Questions & Answers

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.

Battery Life Question.

Hi everyone,
I noticed that my One X has been losing about 12% of battery life while asleep for 8 hours (while I'm sleeping). Is that normal? How much battery life do you lose when you don't use the phone? I leave wi-fi on and that's about it. I checked to make sure that the phone isn't awake during this period.
My battery life has been good on some days (lasts about 20 hours) and bad on some days (lasts about 10 hours) with almost identical usage. Any tips on improving battery life?
I went camping and put my phone on airplane most 80% of the time except when I needed it. It lasted me nearly 3 days! Does LTE consume a lot of battery power? Does wi-fi do also?

Yes to both of your final questions. LTE uses a ton of power. I went to the San Jose area where it's only HSPA and my battery was phenomenal. Wifi may drain significantly if "best wifi performance" is enabled in advanced wifi settings.
Check what uses your battery overnight. What process does it say under power in settings? 12% for 8 hours isn't really that bad..

Wifi consumes the least power of all, but like the post above says, if you have "maximum wifi performance" enabled in your advanced wifi settings then it will prevent your phone from going into deep sleep and drain more battery than it would if that option was not checked. Overnight I usually drain about 1% an hour or less (on both CleanROM DE and AOKP M6.2).
I think it's not LTE drains the battery. It may be because of searching of networks when signal on LTE is bad.

It's sort of both. When you have a good LTE connection while using data then it uses up more battery or if you have a poor connection without using data you will use even more battery or if you have a poor connection while using data that would be the worst for battery. But if you are in a good coverage area and not using data then the battery should be fine.
Drain of 12% over 8 hours (1.5% per hour) of screen off time is pretty damn good. Certainly nothing to complain about. I get somewhere around 2.5% per hour overnight.
Phone battery last forever when in airplane mode. The phone radios are a big consumer of power, often second only to screen-on time. Way back, I had my old HTC Tilt2 in airplane mode in a location with no cell service (basically just using the phone as a watch and camera), and it was on track to last about a week (maybe more) before needing a charge.
12% is what I get overnight. But If I turn off WiFi before sleeping then I get around 5% loss so turn off WiFi if you need more battery.

I feel that most people would get better battery with WiFi turned on. It seems the area you place your phone overnight is not getting a good WiFi signal and/or you might have some of your settings to sync or download while on "WiFi Only".
It varies from person to person and it usually ends up being something in the settings, specific apps, and/or quality of connection (mobile or WiFi).

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.

Cell standby draining the battery. Anyone notice?

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?

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

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.
