After finally killing the mediaserver i was amazed by the battery this weekend. But, i had only been on wifi. Today i was on 3G all day and i noticed that the battery drained at least twice as fast. I'm on KPN's network which means almost Always and everywhere a great connection here in the Netherlands.
Is there any mod that lowers the battery drain with 3G? Or is there a firmware which is more battery efficient with 3G?
My battery is fine on UK 3g ,
just make sure you haven't got news or weather feeds updating every 10 minutes.

Well official battery reports say only about 8 hours on constant 3G. So I won't be surprised.

Cell standby 50%
Phone idle 42%
Display 5%
Android OS 3%
Android system 2%
Is this normal?

A high cell standby percentage means you are in an area with little signal. If I spend all day playing Skyrim in my basement (like 14 hours) then I also will have an astronomically high percentage of cell standby. Basically, your phone is trying to connect to the network when there is an unreliable signal.
My suggestion: Turn airplane mode on when you plan on not using your phone. If this is while you sleep, you can configure the app Tasker to put your phone in airplane mode and reconnect every hour or so to collect text messages. The guide for this is here.
Word thanks (;

When xt860/xt862 first came out cell standby was at the top of everyones battery usage list. Recent updatez have fixed that but ive noticed some roms still have it as being top of the list, however to me it hasn't seemed to affect my battery life. What phone model/rom are you running

Liberty also has an issue with displaying cell standby usage. I'm running Liberty 2.0, and I constantly get cell standby of 40+ percent, no mattery how much I use or where my phone is. If your battery life is fine, then dont worry about it. My extended battery can last up to 3 days..

I got 40% cell standby today while connected to wifi all day. I wasn't more than 50 feet from router all day and it was still high.
Not sure the signal strength is the sole (or main) factor.

Cell standby is not just for the 3G data connection - it's also for your connection to the voice network, which is not switched off when you are connected to WiFi. So, if you are in an area with a weak signal, unless you go into airplane mode and then turn on WiFi, you could see high cell standby.

I wonder if it's an issue in the reporting
I love the CM7 build for the milestone, It makes the phone so much better!
but one thing is weird. When I use the 3G DATA (browse sites, watch YouTube)
the battery drains REALLY fast!
For example, today I got into facebook, browsed 4-8 pages, and the Battery
level Decreased by 30%! (FOR A 5 MIN SURFING)
Wifi surfing seems ok.
Is this normal?! anyone else had this problem ???
I have the same problem. using 3G data drains my battery drastically. been using the phone for more than 2yrs now. i wont complain about that. but CM7 is gr8 when it comes to boosting your battery life.
Same thing happens here and i think it's normal. 3G consumes more battery than wifi on every phone i had.
Active 3G consume more battery than Wifi (or 2G) but 30% in 5 minutes is not normal.
You should calibrate your battery with this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11803458&postcount=10
Did you calibrate the battery after having flashed CM7?
I'm loosing a lot of batterylife when 3G is activated, too.
battery "drain" is normal on DATA. i had these problem too with my milestone.
wouldnt say its a CM7 problem...
for me it is because of the "2 year old battery" + DATA... those two wont work well
Hi,
I have my Xperia T since 3 days. If I keep data and WiFi always on, after 10-11 hours battery dies. On Arc I had it always until bedtime. I noticed that Google plus eats a lot of battery when uploading pics in the background. I also noticed a very strange behaviour: if I reboot phone the battery is drained 3-5%!!! I tried this several times and always the same. Do you have the same? I am on 303 firmware.

Hi
My xperia t lasts a day no problems I think you may have a faulty battery
You can check your apps to see it any are draining the battery. Make sure your screen brightness is reduced to manual low also turn off 3gnetworks go to 2g edge uses less battery.
Start charging the phone at 20% to 80 max afew times to reset the battery
The point is that I want 3G and WiFi on all day like I had on my Arc!

Just wait for your battery to stablealise after a few cycles

Well, after 4th day it improved. I am not sure it is because I made the cycles or because I updated yesterday to latest firmware (.195). Anyway today, after 12 hours of moderate to heavy usage (more than one hour calls, more than one hour bluetooth music in the car, wifi and data always on, email, etc) I am on 28% so safe until I go to bed!

Hello,
about one week ago I noticed that battery in my N1 was empty in 5-6 hours after charging.
My first though was that 4 years battery is just old. I bought new one (1800 mAh). Unfortunately it didn't fix the problem.
Battery stats didn't show anything interesting. So to check what exactly drain my battery I had to disable one by one GPS, WiFi and finally 3G. I noticed that if phone uses 2G network then power consumption is normal. But regardless of GPS, WiFi, BT etc.. seems that only 3G is guilty.
My question is why after 4 years of using N1 suddenly 3G drains my battery? I have turned it on since the begining.
I already tried:
buy new battery
remove battery stats
full wipe
ROM: 2.3.7 GB by euroskank CM7.2-20131028.2353-N1 FuZZ_
PS. It shouldn't be connected, but at that time I started to use my N1 to deploy application which I develop. It uses localization (GPS/network) and Google Play Services.
It seems that something in 3G module is broken. It can takes 40% battery in 2 hours.
In the same time 2G takes 1%.
Strange... 4 years it worked very well till now
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.
