You can always go into settings, about phone, and check what apps are using power. You might as well turn LTE back on cause you're just wasting money if you're paying for something you're not using. Turn off B/g Data sync and try to manually sync all data instead. And the new google maps has been causing some issues according to things i've heard lately, even reviews on the market say so.
Since 4g and 3g are billed the same, how is he paying more for something he's not using? If you are in a 3g only area, or a weakly covered 4g area, go ahead and turn off that 4g. It's silly to drain your battery on a service that you aren't able to make use of anyways...

I was under the impression that when LTE[4G] is turned off via settings--> mobile network then he will only get 2G on his device. It was a mistake, I forgot Verizon would use 3G since no 2G is there. Of course I know when you leave a 4G area you revert to 3G/2G/GPRS<--for GSM, I said that since on GSM in settings you can only do 3G preferred, 2g only, 3g/2g auto...There's no way on GSM to get just 3G unless you leave the 4G area.

I tried it too for giggles sake, and no go. You pull the battery at anytime, and it doesn't run.
Edit... I lied. Plug it into the wall. It will go to the boot animation, without the battery in, but will black out, and the bottom lights will flash. And even though, I had a full charge before plugging in, after putting the battery back in, the LG symbol comes up. Then its telling me, its charging. Interesting. Going to the gym, and I will come back and see where I am at with charging.
Edit... Nifty. battery is reading 4181 at 100% I should have downloaded the battery widget before I did this, so I could have compared.
Should I, or do I need to recalibrate my battery every so often, or should it run like this from now on?
OH now I am mad!!!! How dare you show me how to calibrate my battery. LOL!! I have been unplugged for 2 hours and 15 minutes. I am down to 4133 and still at 100% Normally after 2 hours I am down to 90-95%. AWESOMENESS!!!!

I do it maybe every 2 or 3 months or even when you change ROMs. The ? @ 60% is a Droid/Moto things only you won't be seeing that on other phones, but the trick still seems to work nonetheless. You can get spare parts to see the battery reading if you don't want the widget.
So calibrating the battery really makes a difference for the lg revolution?

I'm seeing under About Phone -- Battery Use --
Cell Standby uses 62% off Battery
Phone Idle uses 21 % of Battery
Display uses 12% of Battery
Voice Calls uses 7% of Batter
The numbers for Cell Standby and Phone idle is usual? Do you guys see the same numbers? Anyway I can bring this down beside Plane Mode?

Signal needs the juice and always uses a lot of power, phone idle is power used while idle, you can't change that. Except by turning if the phone. My numbers are similar to yours, but my signal is around 50%.

I have a problem with cell standby killing my battery. Its the single highest.used thing that is draining my battery (its over 30% and only other thing in that ballpark is the display) . The only mods I have added to stock is droidjunks power toggles. It seems like every time I change something on the bar up top with this phone, my cell standby becomes a serious battery killer.
Is there any reason for or solution to this problem? Any help would be appreciated.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
are you between 3g 4g wifi i know when i toggle between wifi 4/3g it uses a lot of consumption just scaning for newworks etc.. and you might have power saver enabled so as soon as you turn your "off" it disables data and then you turn it back on it enables it sometimes it more harm than good... sorry i can't help more..
Download juice defender from the market and play with that a little... Auto toggles data when you want it too (screen off, etc.) Makes my battery last at least 50% longer.
I'm not messing with juice defender. I don't like apps that shut off data as a power.saving method.
My problem isn't typical as I've seen other users screenshots showing what is draining their battery and it's never over 30%. I didn't have the issue until I messed with the notification bar. Just curious to exactly what caused the issue and if anything can be done about it. I don't keep wifi, Bluetooth, or GPS on unless I am currently using it.

Sorry but juice defender doesn't work for me. I use too much data and too frequently to have it being shut off on me. I have professional email accounts that sync every 15 minutes. That's not the cause of the issue as I've been doing that far longer than I've had the issue.

Yes. I'm going to try turning off 4g and see if that helps. That could be the problem because I just got 4g at my house a month ago.
Im more curious to exactly what happens in cell standby that would cause battery drain?

Cell standby is actually all of the power used by the cell radio, if I am reading this right.

Just so you know Juice Defender has a setting which will turn your data on at an interval set by you and for a time set by you to sync even with screen off.
It's not like it just cuts the data because it feels like it. Juice defender works perfectly for me and has been one of the best apps I have purchased.
But to me it seems to most likely be that your 4g is on ALL the time.
With 1d 11h 6m 45s on battery, I get 9% for Cell standby, hell Facebook almost uses more battery than it (this is also a 3G only area).
i think radio is consuming the power.

I do know that, but I can't control when my email comes and need to receive it as soon as possible. For this reason, I can't have data even being shut off in predefined intervals.
I've currently turned off 4g to see if things improve. Unless your streaming videos or downloading larger files, 4g doesn't seem necessary for the majority of things.

Juice defender also has a whitelist feature so you can pick what apps will always have a data connection. So if your email account syncs every 15 mins then it will continue without interruption.
I've found that the cell standby happens when I'm in a fringe or low coverage area

Hi to everyone. I forgat to turn my wifi off during my working hours. In the nd of my shift, i check my battery and it was proximately %5 left and even i didnt use the phone during my shift. it was %50 or something before starting. Does wifi still work even on the sleeping mode?
Thanks guys
no it stays on unless you set up the power saving mode i use custom settings so that wifi etc will turn off at 40% battery
wi-fi is a big battery drainer. Always have it off if you don't need it. Same with gps, data, and auto-sync for various accounts
Try using juice defender. I think the free version always you to enable wifi control (after your phone goes into sleep mode it should turn off the wifi until you wake it up)
Sent from my MB870 using XDA Premium App
juice defender is in itself a battery drainer. don't use those "battery saver" apps. they're all bs. just get in a habit of turning off connections manually when you don't need them.
Are you aware of the setting: wifi settings/advanced/wifi sleep policy and set it to sleep when screen turns off?

Thanks I didn't know about that setting, but my question is once wifi turns off mobile data kicks in. Which drains battery more? Wifi or mobile data?

They both drain battery equally as much. Mobile data shouldn't kick in unless you have it toggled on.

Use Green Power to automatically disable wifi and data when the phone goes into stand by. There are lots of settings like enabling wifi at certain intervals to sync email/whatsapp/other push services.
On GB for me it's the difference between losing 25% battery overnight without it and losing only 3% when it's enabled and that's with sync every hour.
It seems that on any ICS rom wifi doesn't use any juice even when enabled in standby. Because of the kernel bug in the leaks I'm now on the official CM9 rom and after almost 9 hours with wifi turned on I only lost 4%, on every other ICS rom I tried I get the same results.

I tried juice defender ultimate but connection was on and off and time to time it took ridiculous amount of time to get the connection back :/ also I don't know why with juice defender I noticed sluggish performance phone, after uninstalling everything was much more snappy.
I have wifi on all the time and I only lose about 2-3% over night on stock, I guess it's fine the way it is for me without using all those battery "saver" apps.

I disagree. I definitely get power savings with JD compared to without it. Auto-disabling WiFi saved loads of power for a start, and my overnight drain has gone from 3-5%, to approx 1% with JD running. I'm not saying all batt saver apps are worth using, but JD works for me.
Its a lot easier to have a well-behaved app that DOESN'T use a lot of power itself manage your connection toggling rather than having to remember to do it yourself.

Wrong. WiFi uses more power. Its a separate transmitter being driven by the battery, whereas as mobile data will use the existing transmitter (phone) that's already on, but obviously drive it a little harder than if it was all off.
It drained like 8% two nights ago while it was on normal but last night I had put it on battery saving mode & it drained 12% :/
I'm not using any external battery saving application while I've had disabled extra services that I don't use (following a guideline here at xda), any suggestion friends?

65% battery drainon me too. 35% at best. i went back to kitkat. if it were google services or something i could have done something but cell standby?? nothing to do about it. just buggy software. unless sony pushes an update (not anytime soon, if ever) or a developer fixes the problem there is no solution.
Me too same problem
Check your screen on time, as you can see in my screens it shows the same, but if I check Screen it shows similar or better values than 4.x.
It is common in various 5.0 phones to show data like that.
Someone above already pointed out that it is just showing that your phone is connected to a mobile network which allows you to make/receive calls
Sony could mask that number which will have 0 impact on battery life. If you think being connected to a mobile network doesn't consume battery because in your previous roms that number was masked then nothing Sony can do about it...

After do 2 time hard reset and i don't have this problem anymore ^^ you guys should try it ^^
Mobile radio active is a known bug of Lollipop mobile data connection especially in 4G/LTE.
I'm using C6603 with Sony official Lollipop 5.0.2 ROM, please check my screenshots, disable mobile data then reboot your phone and only connect to WiFi, you'll find the usage time of mobile radio active doesn't increase and there is no battery consumption issue of cell standby even mobile network is connected.
However if you turn off WiFi and connect to mobile data especially 4G/LTE, use it for a while then turn off the mobile data, the usage time of mobile radio active will continue increase and it drains your battery even you close the phone mobile data and connect it to WiFi hotspot.
I don't know why mobile radio active is still be activated and drains lots of battery after I close the mobile data connection. My phone doesn't have this issue if I closed mobile data in 2G/3G mode. In 2G/3G internet mode, the usage time of mobile radio active stop increase if I close mobile data.
I have a temporally solution of this issue:
After you finish using 4G internet mobile data and want to switch back to WIFi connection:
1. Turn on flight mode
2. Close internet mobile data
3. Turn on WiFi then turn off flight mode
The usage time of mobile radio active doesn't increase anymore and there will be not power consumption issue of Cell standby.
I'm appreciated if developer can help to explain and provide possible solution for this issue.
This is a major lollipop bug do a google search on mobile radio active bug and you will see it affects many people across different devices and firmware.
I have had it on both cm12 and now stock but I have to say the actual battery drain on stock is much less.
I found that once mobile data connects the mobile radio active timers never really stop properly so cell standby can show a massively incorrect value suggesting that the system is not returning the mobile radio to it's lower power level.
I have a crap data plan so only enable data when I want to use it, but now on lollipop once I enable it cell standby will work it's way to the top of my battery stats with an insane mobile radio active time. Yet on a day when I stay home and I am connected to WiFi and never use mobile data I get no entry at all for mobile radio active in cell standby and absolutely no battery drain.
Clearing the apps you used (browser, email etc) can also help reduce the drain but the timers still continue.
The name itself is so misleading because mobile radio active can be mistaken for the time your phone has been connected to your provider which it does not represent rather showing the time an app or the system has used your mobile data connection.

Try installing better battery stats and see what is preventing the phone from going into deep sleep. You said you didn't encounter the problem in the first two days so something has changed which is causing excessive drain.

of course i installed better battery stats and wakelock detector. they didn't show anything new, just the mobile radio battery drain. not all bugs can be solved and this is one of them. you can't do anything about a faulty recognition of hardware... hopefully an update rolls out sometime soon, if ever.
Does Sony ever test any firmware before bringing it out? With 5 days of testing one would already discover this.... Like the fact that the Z gets Lollipop, bu you end up with a no use phone...
If you have bad mobile signal, then battery consumption will be higher. Also % doesn't show how much battery is consumed but how much % of all apps consumption is taken by this app. Cell standby consumption will be high only if you didn't use phone (other apps) a lot.
