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)

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.
why is it that if i turn my aeroplane mode on and leave my fone on standby im pretty sure it would almost last 4-5 days. where when i turn off aeroplane mode. i get 12 hours. maybe 4-5 hours if im using it.
i can probably flatten the fone in under an hour if gaming..
WHY!.
this is retarded.
Try this site, everything you'll ever need is there.

Your phones signal uses a lot of battery. For a more detailed description just search on Google, as the poster above said.

lol, what is aeroplane mode?
type careful, you wanted AIRPLANE MODE
Aeroplane is English, airplane is American English.
And Android correctly says aeroplane if it is configured to use the British locale.
@OP:
Aeroplane mode turns off your mobile network and wifi completely. This is what you're supposed to do when sitting in an aeroplane, but don't want to shut down your phone completely.
I hope it is clear that it saves a lot of power if your phone has no mobile connection at all.
ok i have noticed something.
if i have no APN in my list for 3g, i dont get 3d data, but my battery lasts like AGES. compared to when i put in an apn.. why?

Mobile data uses also a lot of battery. If you disable mobile data, but keep your phone in the mobile network (so you can make and receive calls), it consumes far less power.
This is also why I would recommend never turning off wifi, even when the display is off, because wifi uses less power than mobile data and android will turn off mobile data whenever wifi is available.
good point
Hello,
I have just left my phone yesterday night @ 12am (battery 87%) with Data OFF/Wifi OFF when i wake up in the morning @ 6.30 (Battery 77%) how ? is there any application through which i can monitor the services which actually eat up the battery ? Because i had no issues with Xperia Sola in my past at night it used around 1-2% maximum...with data/wifi off.
Please help...
Use better battery stats
This will show if app or android process is keeping phone awake.
Sent from my C5303 using xda premium
mine gives me 1.4% /hr drain with stamina mode on, i dont even have wifi/data turned on last night.
battery info shows a lot of awake time but the battery stat apps says the phone was in deep sleep 99.1% of the time
i am confused
You seem to have the same problem I describe here 3G and Battery drain
I haven't found any solution yet. Seems to be related to the "Cell Radio"... so, it must be a software problem. The only thing we can do is wait for a new upgrade of the Baseband software. Until that, i recommend you to use the "Only 2G" mode.
Greetings

Use GSM Only network. Turn on stamina mode. It will kill all apps without phone calls, sms, mss, and apps on whitelist.
It will also turn off wifi and data packages when screen is off BUT it will keep/hold your IP number, so when you wake up the phone you will have acces to internet immediately. Whit this options when i fully charge my device, at about 10PM i had 100%. I went to sleep, wake up at 5AM and I still had 100%.
WHen you only turn off wifi and data apps in background will be try to connect and work in background as well. Fact is that you will not recieve any MMS messages with Data OFF.
So. First of all. USE STAMINA MODE

Stamina isn't your solution. What makes Stamina Mode is stop data traffics and wifi, when the screen turns off. But you say that the battery drains happens even when you have data and wifi off. So... Stamina Mode will not help you much.

Help please, it's already half a year i had this problem, SUPERSTAMINA XSSM WAKELOCK ,and why no people or any helper on this forums wants to help me out?
It really works thanks for information... now my battery usage at night is just zero or 1% less. stamina mode reallys helps alot to conserve most out of your xperia battery
I don't know why i have this: Cell stand by is draining my battery @@ someone plz help me
Use BetterBatteryStats to pin point the wake-locks. And of course, try to reboot.

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.

it's not an un-masked feature that wasn't shown before. battery drain is real. in my first two days of using lollipop on z everything was ok, but then sometime i lost 25% of battery as i was sleeping (with everything off and cell standby on gsm only). you probably haven't encountered the problem, but it's sadly real. and no factory reset can solve it, i've done 2 and installed lollipop on a wiped data/cache/system phone....

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.

Hi all,
I picked up a Note 3 from ebay on a really good deal. I am not using cellular. I'm only using it as a very capable ereader, internet etc.
So I want to completely axe the cell radio. I turn on airplane mode and turn wifi back on but "cell standby" is still showing battery drain even after wiping battery stats.
Any way to totally disable cell on the hardware end, rename an apk or use ADB?
Thanks,
Rich
Anyone??
