Galaxy S4 Active - thousands of wlan_rx and deleted_wakelocks

After days of monitoring my Galaxy S4 Active (S4A) battery life using Betyer Battery Stats and Wakelock Detector and Network Log, I noticed that my battery life is suffering because of these:
Connected to Wi-Fi:
Thousand of wlan_rx_wakelock
Connected to cellular (3G/4G):
Thousand of deleted_wakelock
Something must have initiated the network connection and when it couldn't see the Wi-Fi, it keep deleting whatever wakelock there are.
At the end, it woke my phone about 50% of the time, so I can't have more than 8 hours of battery life. This is just like my old Thunderbolt phone.
I am rooted, stock ROM. I debloated as much as I can, incIuding network related so like AllShare.
I tried factory reset, not using any 3rd party app,etc to no avail.
I do see in the firewall log and network log, the KERNEL is sending and receiving tons of packet.
So it looks like Samsung made something to the OS that caused this.
Either that or the root cause it.
If you're rooted, do you see this in BBB or other battery monitoring app?

Functioning but not best solution is to disable WIFI when using Mobile Data.

I have thought about it, but here's the problem:
1). Something is causing the network wake up. Even if I am NOT using Wi-Fi, I get deleted_wakelock instead, so much so that it took 50% of the time.
2). WiFi is always off when I am out and about (I use Llama to detect if I am not at home or work), but see no. 1
3). If I am at home or work and turned off Wi-Fi, then I'll be racking up charges for the mobile network (thanks to all carrier removing unlimited data).
The root of the problem is something causing this on the phone.
As mentioned above, I would like to get a consensus if anyone with a S4A seeing the same problem..

Havent had any of the issues you speak of. Im at 51% after a 16hr day. Been on Starbucks wifi most of the day/hour of being in the car. Made several calls and light data use. I purchased bbs when i had a s2, will reinstall and see what my logs say. Sorry your having issues.

what was your screen on time?

Anyone ROOTED his/her S4A and got the same issue?
I am not beginning to think the root is somehow causing this, because I remember when I first got the S4A, the root is not out yet but I have awesome battery life..
And yes, I installed the same apps before I rooted the phone except those that require root (Titanium Backup, etc.)

I rooted yesterday and installed stat apps and wake lock detector. I will let you know how it turns out and post some screen shots of the stats tomorrow after it analyzes a bit

Moto X battery draining on cell standby!

It was all good before but it suddenly started to drain out the battery. I saw the battery stats, its the cell standby that's using almost all the battery. I turned off the moto voice and moto display, no change. Maybe it has something to do with the location reporting as I heard somewhere. Even in airplane mode it still drains the heck outta it.
Some information:
Model: XT1058
Version: Lollipop 5.0.2 Stock
Status: Rooted
Developer options: untouched
Additional:
- Greenify installed
- No battery savers installed
- Drains even with USB charging and no activity with phone
See the Screenshots attached below.

I have turned off location reporting and kept in charging or a while. I will update the thread if it's solved.

And it still remains the same, although the battery is slightly increased.

when you are not using 4g services than set network preference to 3g or 2g. disable mobile data when connected to wifi.

I'm always on WiFi, I already set to 3g as I use it occasionally but its not just that, airplane mode is useless, it shows radio uses battery. Maybe reseting is the only option.

I think this was common in the 5.0.2 version, I had bad standy cell drain and i think a lot of people on the MFN soak test forums also complained about it.

The only way i've found to get rid of the mobile standby battery drain is to keep wifi off. Dropped from 71% (one day with wifi and 4g on) to 4% (entire day with only 4g on). Only wifi with mobile data off still gets the mobile standby issue, albeit with better total battery life. Android 5.1 update just sucks for battery compared to 4.4.4, used to get through an entire day with 30-40% left and now im at 1% at 10pm.

Moto x battery draining on cell standby!
Even I am also facing the same trouble in my Moto x 2013 version which was not there in kitkat. I guess it is a hardware issue as my friend is also having the same mobile but he is not facing this issue.

Is there a bug fix for this yet?

I don't have the issue anymore and I turned of cell internet when not needed, installed power nap, wakelock detector, greenify, servicely, GSM battery, recently, and DS battery saver. One of those or all of them help, I don't know, but I get 7 hours screen time and my phone can run for 3 days without use
---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------
I also think there's a bug in how Android reports the battery use because the app GSM battery sometimes shows a completely different use if battery stats and the GSM makes more sense so I think it's right and not Android

See the difference. Android has my screen using 75%, but GSM battery has it at 55%. The other totals are close. I have seen it a lot worse than this though.

See I keep data off and I don't have problem. The bug is, the switch from WiFi to data using voice over IP, or vise versa. Google has to find a way for it to work, without the cell stanby issue

Is there no way to fix this with root?

Wifi battery drain on MM

Anyone having issues with wifi constantly destroying the battery even when off?
I've turned off wifi scanning and location mode is device only and yet when you look at battery stats wifi is still on.
Only fool proof way of turning it off is having all aforementioned settings in place and then disconnecting from wifi while I'm still connected instead of leaving it by moving out of range (leaving my house for example).

Hello, I hope I can help. I have the same issue the day after I received MM OTA, that wifi drained me more than 10% in the morning when I haven't done anything online.
I tried googling. In addition to location and scanning settings, there is one more you can try:
http://www.naldotech.com/having-problems-with-marshmallow-wifi-battery-drain-how-to-fix-it/
Now go to Settings > Backup And Reset > Network Settings Reset and reset settings.

The on screen instruction said I will lose all wifi settings, but turns out I don't need to enter the wifi and encryption keys again. I performed all these steps in one go and the problem disappeared the next day, so I don't really know which switch actually did the job. A week has passed, no more battery drain now and the battery usage is far better than I anticipated.
Hope this is helpful to you.

No dice my friend, still draining. I've disconnected from WiFi while in its range and am avoiding turning it back on and using 4G only
Wish someone would figure this out. Battery or WiFi is a pretty bad choice to be forced to make.

Have you really tried reset network setting, as I quoted in my earlier reply, and reboot immediately? If this doesn't work, do you have time to do reset factory default? A complete factory reset can sometimes be the last way out. No guarantee though.

I was having the same problem + cell was getting hot too often. I did a factory reset and the 2 issues were solve. You might need to try that.

Cell standby drain

Hi all! First of all here are some screenshots about my battery stats. I'm not sure if these stats are right with SOT 6 hours + but it's kind of interesting that cell stanby is greater than my 5.5 inch screen. Also if anyone could tell me that Cell standby is measured together with wifi? If that's the case then i should not worry anymore, because wifi is on all the time.

First screen shot says it all. Shabby signal = high drain.
Outside of that - 6 hrs screen on over 2 days - what's the problem

And what can I do to make the signal better? I always have almost full or full signal bar, so it's a bit confusing :S

Also please tell me if WiFi is measured under cell standby?

well I care, because either my wifi or my cellular is draining my battery in an abnormal way, for example today i lost 30% in just 1 hour with 20 minutes SOT just browsing the internet on mobile data a little and using facebook. and i could get 7 hour+ SOT if my cell standby wouldn't be eating 35% of my battery at the end of the day, all my friends have cell standby at 8% average all day, i get 20 - 35% with the same operator, even if i have an excellent signal( full or almost full bar) with -95 dbm.

What others get means nothing - I get 10+ hrs sot, and still have 20+% battery left.
I will say this - facecrap is well known to eat battery, and eat it fast. Try an alternative to the fb app.
Oh - Google wifi scanning - might help.

Please understand, I don't mind helping people with problems, but I don't see a problem with your sot. It's about the same as mine, and I don't consider myself to have a problem - this is actually the best battery life I've seen on a device I've owned in a long time.
If it really bothers you, contact moto/lenovo, whoever takes responsibility for this device and see if they can help.
Most of all - don't worry - be happy!

Are all the bands that your telco uses supported by the g5s?
My screen off time is perfectly fine. The battery will barely deplete when I'm not using the phone.

If you have the time and opportunity then try airplane mode but WIFI enabled. Bad signal will eat your battery, I have the same problem at home. I regularly see 15-20% battery use for Cell Standby but with the modem disabled Cell Standby will disappear completely.

Found the permanent solution, it appears that the SIM 1 slot is faulty, placing the card to slot 2 fixes the radio problem and now I have full green signal bar, no drain

Question Pixel 7 Battery Drain in Phone Idle

I've been noticing huge battery drain on my Pixel 7 after the March update. No particular apps are draining the battery, phone idle alone does it.
I thought after the June update, it will make the battery backup better but I think it made it even worse. Last night I charged my phone to 100% and slept by turning off WiFi and mobile data. I even kept my network type to 3G to avoid background activities from 4G. And waking up after 5-6 hrs of sleep, I found my battery to be 89%. Screenshot is attached below. This is very disappointing. I bought this phone on February. It has not been a year and this is the performance I get from a flagship?
Clearly, this is not normal. Phone Idle draining 78%(of the 11% actual battery drain) of my phone's battery is crazy. I used to get 2 days of battery backup before that March update. And now I can hardly survive 16hrs. Please help me with a fix.
Notes:
Country: Bangladesh
I use dual SIM. 1 physical and 1 e-SIM.

Factory reset, then be careful what you install.

You didn't use anything on the device though. The phone is idling more than doing any other task. So of course 78% of that small amount of battery drain is going to be due to the idle because idling is what is doing 78% of the time. I really don't see any issue here. I mean you only lost 11% battery over 4 hours and that first 15% drains quicker because lithium ion battery drain isn't linear. That first 10% always goes faster than the rest of the device. If it really bothers you, I would suggest changing the doze parameters to wear it disables the sensors on the device until it's unlocked.

Also, I just noticed that you have no mobile data on either SIM card. The phone is looking for a signal constantly and not getting it, that alone will drain battery, not to mention using dual sims has been known to affect battery life as well. Is the phone in airplane mode in that picture?

You aren't alone. I've been fighting the same issue with the battery drain since March. Up until the June update my excessive battery drain was showing as "Mobile network" but now it shows as "Phone idle". Strangely it drains the most when not in use. I've already done a factory reset and ended up with the exact same issue instantly.

It may be worth trying to disable the "adaptive connectivity" setting and see if that helps. I live in a weak 5g area and my phone was constantly switching between LTE and 5g causing signal drops and battery drain for me. I turned it off and it helped with both issues.
Settings, network & internet, scroll down to the bottom.

Not in airplane mode. I turned off Data then why would it constantly look for signal?

I guess I should have asked first, I wasn't sure if you turned data off or not, I guess that's what led to the airplane mode. What about in developer options? Is mobile data always active still set to true?

Anyone with this issue my best suggestion would be use some kind of doze optimization mod. I know nap time is kind of outdated but some things still work correctly. I believe all of it does except for the GMS does magisk module. If you scroll all the way down to the bottom there's a setting that says wait for unlock. That keeps the phone in deep doze mode until you unlock the device, which also keeps the sensors turned off as well. Another option is diamond John's app Temefi. In the search box, type in doze, and you'll see a place where you can choose from several different Doze profiles. For this you need root, but if you're not rooted I would stick with nap time which just needs some ADB commands entered

i think it's a bug, i have no drain but look at the screenshot
"telefono inattivo" is phone idle, same percent but 1hr and more compared to yours, strange, indeed i've no drain
i always keep data, wifi and bluetooth on, since i work in a place where there's no 100% coverage of wifi, and bluetooth for smartwatch connection

have you tried safe mode?
