My diamond's battery doesnt last very long as it is but where I work I dont get any signal, and seems to drain twice as fast
Is the fact its trying to constantly get signal thats doing this?
Any suggestions much appreciated....
Rom = Shaks.P v4.00
Radio = 1.09.25.23
my girl HAD the same problem too. i told her that since there's NO signal, the machine will constantly search for available networks. the only alternative to this is to either switch off the phone or put in airplane mode. by putting the phone in airplane mode, the phone will not be constantly searching. have you ever notice that using 3G network uses more juice than that of 2G? she gave it a shot (airplane mode) and the problem of battery drain no longer bugs her.
Thanks, will give the airplane mode a shot
Yes, airplane mode will stop it from searching networks because all communications are shut down.
You can also prevent the battery drainage by turning the phone off or throwing it in a glass of water
If you still want to be able to use the phone (function) you don't want to use airplane mode
Also most ROMs by default have the BEAM "Receive all incoming beams." switched on. Switching it off helps as well.
I also suggest trying other radio's and switching 3G off for phone calls....

Does anyone know a application that makes it possible that the phone switches to 2G when i has been on standby for maybe 15min. And then when a application like Opera needs internet access then it switches back to 3G.
Could be cool cause i would save a lot of power.
That would be great! Also because I don't like the idea of 3G whenever there's no wifi around. I know it doesn't do anything but I have bad experiences with WAP (long time ago I know ) going on randomly and staying on for hours, resulting in sky-high bills
The manual says that the battery lasts longer in 3G than in GSM in waiting mode, in conversation is the opposite.
Theres also the fact it takes about 30 seconds to disable the phone, switch to 2g, and re-enable the phone then get a signal again. It may be fine going from 3g to 2g when in you're pocket and not using the phone but when you wake it up that 30 seconds will get annoying, itll make the phone slower while its switching and the process itself uses battery power
Hello everybody
I experienced nothing wrong at all with my SGS, but, when I was checking here and there in my phone I noticed that Time without signal = 100% ckecked it many times, restarted, and still, always 100% but nothing is really wrong with the phone, I call receive calls, sms, everything is fine, also battery is fine, signal strenth is five bars -81 dBm, 16 asu, well, this is however only happens in my second home, in my other home, it never gets higher than 10% without signal.
I just wanted to ask if there's any explanation for this
what?
How do you mean "Time without signal = 100%"?
The term when u have not GSM signal or it in airplane mode or what?
no sense
Actually, it makes sense
go to settings => about phone => Battery Use => Cell Standby
and check it, there's "time without signal" it indicates the percentage of time ur phone spent without signal, not because it's in airplane mode, not because it's off, but because there's no coverage
well, in my case, coverage is almost perfect, and still time without signal is 100%
why is it that if i turn my aeroplane mode on and leave my fone on standby im pretty sure it would almost last 4-5 days. where when i turn off aeroplane mode. i get 12 hours. maybe 4-5 hours if im using it.
i can probably flatten the fone in under an hour if gaming..
WHY!.
this is retarded.

Your phones signal uses a lot of battery. For a more detailed description just search on Google, as the poster above said.

lol, what is aeroplane mode?
type careful, you wanted AIRPLANE MODE
Aeroplane is English, airplane is American English.
And Android correctly says aeroplane if it is configured to use the British locale.
@OP:
Aeroplane mode turns off your mobile network and wifi completely. This is what you're supposed to do when sitting in an aeroplane, but don't want to shut down your phone completely.
I hope it is clear that it saves a lot of power if your phone has no mobile connection at all.
ok i have noticed something.
if i have no APN in my list for 3g, i dont get 3d data, but my battery lasts like AGES. compared to when i put in an apn.. why?

Mobile data uses also a lot of battery. If you disable mobile data, but keep your phone in the mobile network (so you can make and receive calls), it consumes far less power.
This is also why I would recommend never turning off wifi, even when the display is off, because wifi uses less power than mobile data and android will turn off mobile data whenever wifi is available.
good point
Hello !
Im using Galaxy Note 5 N920C version and experiencing huge battery draining. The main reason is Cell standby and device idle. Don't have VoLTE on my phone neither advanced calling,tried wiping cache many times and problem still goes on, i don't know what to do almost tried everything.Problem persists even with both 3G and LTE network. Any solution?

I think the problem is that the phone keeps searching for cell signal. Try finding out where it does it maybe house, work or etc. then turn the phone on airplane mode when you are there. My phone did the same thing when I was at school so I would just turn on airplane mode to save battery.
Same happened with me, I thought there is some issue with my phone.
So I sold it and bought a new note 5 and it's still same at my home.
So either put it at 2G or airplane mode.
Hi all,
I picked up a Note 3 from ebay on a really good deal. I am not using cellular. I'm only using it as a very capable ereader, internet etc.
So I want to completely axe the cell radio. I turn on airplane mode and turn wifi back on but "cell standby" is still showing battery drain even after wiping battery stats.
Any way to totally disable cell on the hardware end, rename an apk or use ADB?
Thanks,
Rich
Anyone??
