Hi
I have a weird problem. My moto x drains 10% battery overnight on wifi and 4g turned off.
If i turn on 4g and turn off wifi during night it drained by 56%
is this normal? if not what should i do?
Thanks
If your 4g service isn't great that's normal as its doing more work searching for service.

get a signal booster is what you should do lol. Your coverage must be terrible at your house. Also, if you have a solid wifi connection at your house then your phone automatically disconnects from the data connection even though it may show the icon still at the top.

its not normal at all if you have good service. You should download a wakelock app like betterbatterystats or another one to see what is keeping your phone awake at night. once you download that. you should post the screen shots the next time you run a test and we can see what all is going on from those.

turning off wifi isnt going to help. all that means is it will get its updates over 4g. which uses more battery. 44% is way too much though. keep wifi on. just deal with the 10% loss. youll still get 24 hours.

In my experience for my phone....Idle on wifi is always better....3G eats lots of battery...2G is still better...thats why some people toggle 2g/3g........
Agreed - wifi mostly good for power consumption purposes

I've found that the biggest (idling) drain on my battery comes when the phone is constantly searching for 3G signal. If you have wifi available, use it.
I plug my phone in while I listen to podcasts on my commute into work. So when I get out of the car, I'm at 100% battery. If I put wifi on when I get to my desk, after 9 hours in the building, my battery is somewhere in the 78% to 85% range. If I leave wifi off, I'll be at around 50% to 60% at the end of the day. 3G signal isn't that strong in my building.
I've also been places with little-to-no 3G signal and no wifi. I lose around 20% to 25% of my battery per hour.
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.

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
Hey guys, after i update to kitkat i factory reset my z1. Right after that, the battery graph shows that the wifi is always on. But i checked my wifi and it is off. And theres no wifi % in the Battery usage report. How will i get rid of that wifi bug usage?.

How about you wait and check till the next charge and see if it makes any difference

Update: I saw WI-FI with 2% of usage and a total of 4hours on and it equals to that of cell stand-by. But the WI-FI is OFF in my settings.

Is "scanning always available " in wifi settings checked?
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.

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 OnePlus 5T'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!
From last 2 nights....i got 3 percent standby drain when I put my phn alone for 6 to 7 hrs with wifi on
Same here 3 percent over 8 hours at night. Seems like they fixed the drain problem of Wifi in comparison to Op5

Yes you are right
3 percent is almost negligible
10hrs standby with WiFi on, 4% (went from 97 to 93.) Pretty good I'd say.
3% as well no wifi
My device is draining battery little faster when using normally and on standby it is draining nearly 2% per minute while on 3g+ mode . Is it normal.. ?

of course it's not...
1% every 3 hours on idle.

Absolutely not, I would prob do a clean flash again or something is killing ur battery, ur phone must be on fire draining 2% in one minute, I get about 1% per 6 min using Chrome and about 4 or 5 min using facebook

I have data off, location on, wifi on
Sorry guys .. It was a typo.. I meant hour. When I leave mobile internet on during standby I get 2% drain per hour when switched off drain is 1% per 2 hours. Location is off whole time.
So a H+ network drain battery faster compared to a WiFi ?

Location set to data saving, 4G data remains switched on as well along with WiFi
5% without wifi and data...I hope Oreo fix this...
how about when u guys use it until the end of the day while the phone screen is constantly turned on and off? 6h+ seems to be the average for sot but I haven't seen anyone post their idle times yet except for when it's during an overnight sleep
My friend has a 3t and his standby his pretty bad. He is on Oreo though....Does anyone else get a huge battery drain on their 5t?
My battery is draining as quick in standby mode as it is when I'm using it! I'm losing about 3.5% /hr over night. That is really my only complaint.
I'm leaving everything on. WiFi/data/ location/ Bluetooth.. shouldn't have to switch it off tbh.

If you live in an area that doesn't receive particularly great cell service, leave data and location off on your 5T. When your phone has to constantly search for a good cellular connection, it will eat power like a New Yorker eats a hamburger at a baseball game. And if a sub-optimal cellular connection in your area is the case, then 3% per hour isn't half bad...my Droid Turbo 2 would drain 11% in the same timeframe.
If this isn't the issue, then check the power consumption of the individual apps you have on your phone to filter out problem apps that may be draining your battery rapidly. If neither of these methods work, you may have to resort to factory resetting your phone, or RMAing if nothing fixes the issue.
So, I've narrowed it down to being a WiFi related issue. Something is running when WiFi is on which is preventing the phone from going into deep sleep properly (if at all).
When I switch WiFi off overnight, and leave everything else on (data/BT/NFC) then my drain goes from 3-4% / HR to around 3-4 % in 8 hours.
Can't figure out beyond that yet though.
