Under cell standby it shows time w/o signal at 100% even if i have signal 100% of the time since my area has pretty high coverage it rarely even drops under -73dbM. Im a bit worried if this bug causes higher battery drain. Will it?

Anyone noticed?
This cell standby and phone idle are chewing 60% of my battery. That used to be my screen usage on my Thunderbolt. Screen is at 14% usage and I keep that screen lit! Seats have reversed! Looks like HTC just needs to put this screen with their radios and we will have a phone's battery life that would last two days! I am glad Motorola fixed the sound quality, but this battery consumption is ridiculous. This phone has 50% more battery than the TB, but they last about the same. I really wish someone would put this screen on HTCs radios and we would have a killer phone.
Aslo, I noticed that there are some apps, like Maps, that if I open once, it would stay on and consume massive battery! There was another app, that like maps used gps, that did the same. dps was disabled.
Weird swicharoos going on.
I've noticed this aswell.

If you are not in a 4G area, one thing to do would be to set your phone to CDMA Only instead of CDMA/LTE (Settings>Wireless&Networks>Mobilenetworks>Network Mode). This will prevent it from trying to find a 4g Connection. I notice that the Cell standby will use a lot of battery just searching for better signal constantly. When I work during the week the Building I am in seems to block cell signal almost completely. During those days my Cell Standby uses a big chunk of my battery just trying to get better signal. On the weekends though at my apartment I don't use near as much because of better signal reception there.
**Also, this is a topic/question that should be in Droid Bionic General, not Development**
Some people are seeing evidence that the battery manager is reporting wrong..
But time will tell after Moto pushes us some updates.
Wouldn't be surprised if it is reporting wrong. I am at a heavy 4G area, and i have owned every droid and the Thunderbolt, except the charge
Anyone have issues with high Cell Standby? My cell standby is at the top of my list with "time on 8h 12m" (pretty much my entire time off the charger) and Time without signal is 0% (so i haven't lost connection plus I've been on Wifi at home the entire time)
Ive also only have about 52 mins of screen on time with light use and I'm down to 79%. The drain seems very high considering how I've used the phone. I just don't understand why the standby is so high or whats causing it. Im stock rooted and have r17 Franco Kernel installed, it seemed to have started when I installed the latest r17 but I'm pretty sure it would be a coincidence since the cell standby was always kinda high on my list but not as bad as lately.

If you don't use the phone and keep it away, obviously the cell standby will come first but that much battery should not be drained. I can notice max 2-3% of battery drain from 100% over-night on stock
If you don't charge your phone up all the way to 100%, the battery stats don't reset.
Otherwise I think it's sounds reasonable.
8hr stand by, a little under 1 hr screen, wifi on the whole time.
That's about 9 hours total + wifi for 21% or 676.2 mah used. I usually run with a huge stand by time, not so much SOT. I get about 35%~ a day so I charge up every three days.
If you're on WiFi and cell standby is that high then you probably have a weak voice signal connection. What colour is it on your graph? You can also check your signal level in Settings > About Phone > Status
I have recently been given an HTC One. However, I've noticed that battery life isn't great and cell standby seems to be the main culprit, taking up 96% of the battery usage. When looking at signal strength, ive noticed that I've had orange/yellow strength for the majority of the day, so is poor signal the reason for it?
I've been running marshmallow since the stock images were posted and I always got very nice battery life with doze. As in, I wouldn't have to charge the phone until the next morning. Since last week, however, cell standby is using significantly more battery. Yesterday, I took the device off the charger at 0900, and by 2100 I was already at 25% battery. Screen on time was only 2 hours, and cell standby had more usage than the screen. No matter my signal quality, it seems cell standby is eating my battery. Phone isn't even showing as awake! I also am always connected to WiFi and using T-Mobile WiFi calling.
I know a few users have reported a similar issue since marshmallow, does anyone have an idea of why cell standby is killing battery even though time without signal is 0? Time active is also always under 20 min. Since I'm using WiFi calling, I'd think the phone wouldn't even be searching for a voice signal anyway.
My signal has been worse than abysmal since switching to Marshmallow. I uninstalled Fit, Pay, and Google+ and it got better strangely enough but i still have issues from time to time...

The same happened to me, at the begining with marshmallow (chroma and francokernel) always more than 5h SOT and easy deep sleep... but now, the last night at 1:00AM battery was at 100%, at 5:00AM was 84%... and no wakeloks... i'll take some screenshots
Same here. I swear the battery is draining faster but no wakelock issues.
Plus I believe there is an issue with the signal reporting. Where I know that I get full signal the phone can report zero bars. Switch to airplane mode and back, then suddenly the signal displays correctly!
+1 My signal is terrible anymore, and I certainly was much better on the preview images
At my desk at work, same spot I sit my phone everyday would be in the mid 80s and right now it sits at -103....hit airplane mode and it resets....for a few

I'm having the same issues. Overall, pretty solid battery life but cell standby drainage was high. Been searching forums with no such luck. Sounds like it might just be and Android issue I have to hope gets fixed in an update? I'm using T-Mobile wi-fi calling. I'm in areas with strong LTE signal, but compared to my old phone, the amount of "bars" I'm seeing seem lower and sometimes non existent, although I spent no time without signal.

Im experiencing signal strength problem. If i cover my phone with hand i lose about 30% of signal, if im im in house its never full , randomly drops to 10% then goes to 90% and so on. Also when ever my wifi signal drops under 40% internet stops working, but till then its working perfectly. I was hoping updates are goinf to fix it but no luck..
