Cell Standby causing insane battery drain

I have been using my N6 for the past couple of days and the battery life has been quite disappointing for me so far. It seems the biggest culprit for me is the poor signal in my area leading to a huge amount of drain from Cell Standby. Even when idle, my battery drains quickly. I lose 1% every few minutes without even turning my screen on and about 10% over an hour. As of now, my device has been on for 2h 49m and 24% of that time has been without signal.
I understand that poor reception is causing the radio to constantly look for a signal but my Moto G and Nexus 5 are in the exact same environment and fair much better when it comes to battery life. Anyone else experiencing this insane battery drain? At this point I'm debating sending the device back, getting a refund, and dealing with the bloated and Touchwiz filled Note 4. It's a bummer because I absolutely love this phone otherwise. The screen, build quality, WiFi signal strength, and audio experience make this phone an absolute delight but the battery drain might be a deal breaker for me. Thankfully I still have a couple of weeks to make up my mind on whether or not I'll be keeping the phone or returning it and going for another phablet. Thanks to the N6, I can no longer return to a phone with small display.
As I mentioned earlier, I am not having this issue with my Moto G or Nexus 5 and both devices have excellent idle battery life.

I have noticed the same thing with my device. Might not be to the extent you are experiencing because the cell coverage is a little better but cell standby is one of the main causes of my battery draining.

This seems to be an issue with Lollipop and people with the Nexus 5 are also experiencing this. There is a thread over at /r/android discussing this issue.
I absolutely love this phone and I will be holding out for a patch as long as I can. This phone is so awesome though.

I don't have this issue with my new N6 or my N5 on lollipop. I have very strong signal though in my area.
I would like to point out though it's not that bad considering your without service for over 20% of the time at that point.. From that it looks like you'll have a12 hour day.

Yes, my N5 running LRX21O has the same since I activated my N6. In my case (Wi-Fi only) I can just turn off the mobile radios.

I actually already started a thread about this. At first I thought it was a sprint issue turns out to be widespread.

Thanks for letting me know about your own thread discussing the same issues, I have posted there as well. :good:

This cell standby drain reminds me of eclair and froyo days. I believe the temp solution for this was to briefly put it into airplane mode. Then turn mobile network bank on. It would sort of reset the existing bug. Anyone remember this from way back when?

I remember it well I had the Eris. But I think it's different today. I think it's a reporting issue not a signal loss issue. Imo

Ahh... memories, I had the eris as well. Actually 5 of them, ha ha. Man android has come along way.

Just a thought.. try changing it from LTE preferred to 3G. I'm not saying to use this as a permanent solution but just try it out. I was in the -90 to -103dB range in signal on LTE and it would randomly crap out entirely for a few seconds every couple minutes (at best). I have no idea why - didn't have that issue on my older galaxy S3. Anyway, switching to 3G suddenly gave me fantastic reception (at least in terms of signal strength).
If it helps you - that might be the cause of your battery drain: poor signal.

Me too I've switched to 3g and I'm my nexus isn't constantly looking for a 4g signal

I just did 12 hours in a hospital where my S3 couldn't make it much past lunchtime. I'm at around 15 hours now and have 70% left. Full time on 4G.

Did this too which helped a ton.
Also flashing the latest modem in fastboot also appeared to help.

Like others have mentioned, forcing it to a specific network mode will typically save power, especially when you kill something as power hungry as LTE.
From the regular system menu, you only have the options to set "preferred" LTE/3G/2G, but this does not actually disable LTE or 2G when you select 3G.
From the dialer, enter *#*#4636#*#*, select phone information, scroll down to "set preferred network type" and choose "WCDMA only". With this, it will actually turn off the LTE and GSM radios.

Cell Standby battery drain fix for AT&T

From the Android Central forums:
Settings. . Mobile networks. . mobile data .. enhanced 4g
Since turning off wifi also stops the drain, I might speculate the bug is actually in the voice processing for wider bandwidth and turning off wifi or enhanced 4g shuts down that section of voice processing, which is keeping the radio alive when it should not.

Thanks for that. I'll try this..

Does enhanced 4g mean LTE? What does turning it off do (besides save battery life supposedly)?

Thats HD Voice (AT&T's version of VoLTE). Turning it off disables the Voice over LTE feature.

Does anyone have proof that this is related to cell standby? I am skeptical that this is the smoking gun for battery drain. I have noticed a substantial drain even compared to my old Moto X (2014) and that is saying a lot since that phone's battery wasn't great. I am trying to see where we can make stride to determine the reasons for it. I have different results in my details. Sometimes android system is the culprit.

I turned off Enhanced 4g last night and cell stand by isn't even on my battery usage list today. It was the top one last night before disabling.

How's the overall life now? I just shut it down myself.

Anyone do this and leave WiFi on and still have good battery. Seems to me that no matter what I do WiFi still causes the battery to drain far faster than it should.

I switched off enhanced LTE but if I leave the wifi on I see a battery drain. With wifi off I get a stable battery. My Edge (AT&T) is on Android 5.0.2.
I remember first T-mobile users mentioning battery was ok until 5.0.1 which was later updated to 5.0.2 and the trouble started.

If we could just figure out how to get rid of Google Play services

Im gonna try this too. I keep wifi on. Time to charge up to 100% and see how quick it goes down

So today I decided to keep wifi on and wow. Battery life not as good. Not having horrible drain, but it is most certainly effecting my battery life. So tomorrow I will go all day without wifi and see how it fairs. But I'm thinking that unless I know I'm gonna be at home a lot where I can easily charge, then wifi will remain off indefinitely. Good thing I have 30gb mobile share data

I'm about to try leaving it on all day. Anything that it turns off I don't really need so might as well. And let's be honest, who needs all the power this phone has all the time. I'd say 95% of the time I don't need anywhere near the processing that this beast is capable of.

I really tried to like the Galaxy 6

I have to first tell you I had the SG S4, HTC M7, HTC M8, as my previous Android phones before I
switched to the iPhone 6 plus. As soon s I saw this Galaxy S6 I could't wait to get back to Android.
I really hate Apple and the way you have to use itunes to do anything on the phone.
Received my new SGS6 edge 128 gb sapphire black and it is fantastically built and the perfect size.
That's where all the joy ends. Lets all face the facts, the battery life on this phone stinks. Yes I am a
very experienced Android user and disabled ALL the bloat. Then you have to star disabling features
like VOLTE, wifi, push services etc.... Why the hell would you pay 1,000 for a phone that in order to
barely make a business day power wise you have to disable so many of the features? With that said
and a ton of stuff disabled the phone barely last 12 hours. That is not acceptable. The iPhone plus goes
2 full days (48 hours) with everything on before I have to charge. Before you start asking, yes I did multiple factory
resets, I did the clear cache etc. Like I said I am very experienced with Android phones.
I was so disappointed in the G6 with its sub par battery life. I still hate my iPhone and am looking
for the next Android release (Sony or LG) to see if they are any better. I like the Note 4 but I believe the
international version does not have LTE on ATT.
If anyone has any other Android suggestions please advise me so I can escape the Apple lock.

Have you looked at the HTC M9? I have the M9 currently and it's a pretty good phone. We already have a lot of devs making custom roms and kernels.
I am interested in the s6 which is why I'm looking at this forum, but the M9 is a really nice phone. I'm never satisfied, I have an addiction, a very expensive addiction.

Have you tried charging several times and bleeding the battery out after a couple of days? I noticed it wasn't really impressive batt life..then I disabled the at&t apps, cleared cache from recovery, disabled WiFi scanning, use power saving mode and I can get through the entire day, gym, and charge it at night with around 30% left..I'd give it a week or 2

Sameer,
Yes I did run down to 0 and then charged full, reset cache and there was only a marginal gain.
This is a business phone and I cannot be in the situation of worrying if my battery is going to
die while I am out with customers.
I will monitor this forum to see if any software update fixes the problem.
BTW I did get the Samsung push update and the Google services update.
So frustrating because I really wanted to make this phone work.

Lyall,
I loved the M7 and M8 and battery life was outstanding. The only thing that was
bad was the camera. So I have 2 questions:
1 - How is battery life
2 - How is the camera (I read not very good things about it)
I had the Developer edition on both the M7 and M8.

Battery life is acceptable. I listen to podcasts and do light browsing all day at work and my battery usually drops between 3 & 5% per hour. If I watch videos or play a game the battery drops a lot faster. I would say the battery life is about the same as the m8.
The camera has improved greatly with the new firmware updates from HTC, but it's still probably not as good as the s6. One thing for sure is, the camera on the m9 is definitely better than the m8.

The battery is an easy fix, update google play services to the latest 64bit version and then kill it dead a few times and use the quick charger to charge it to 100%. I am having zero issues making it thru the day and then some.

Designgears,
I did exactly what you are suggesting. The only thing that fixed was the cell standby usage.
Before that update the battery was unusable, so yes that helped.
If I watched any kind of streaming video, you tube, nexflix etc, the battery went down unbelievable.
I had a video conference for 20 minutes the battery dropped 25%. Any stress on the phone the battery
drops like crazy. I really believe it may be a lollypop issue but I cant justify over 1,000 dollars on a phone
that won't last the day. Especially if its not unlocked with software updates few and far between.
Should I try the International version? If anything the updates will be quicker. Do you think without
any bloat ( I did disable all the bloat) will the battery be better?

S9 Exynos here.
Second full day (after a half day when I got it) and it's been pretty horrible. I expected it to be average or not great for the first couple days, but this is nuts.
I've got everything on - location, sync, AOD, Bixby, etc - and am losing about 5% per hour with the screen off. Ending the day on 15% with only an hour or two of SOT.
Will be keeping a spreadsheet log of it, including what services are on and how I've used it, so will report back. Hope it improves naturally with everything on though. Reception is also surprisingly average; in the bathroom at work my Pixel 1 had decent enough reception to load videos, but my S9 seems to struggle to even load images. Pixel 1 had 3G in an underground pub, but my S9 couldn't get any data at all.

Sure i have also 5h SOT (with 2 h playing a game currently) but turning off things shouldn't be the solution to get SOT times still worse than the s8.
The bad thing is most reviews are aware of the bad battery Times but still gave a high rating. So samsung will not fix this as fast as we want as the first reviews are rewarding them.
This should be a high priority issue.
I am sure this idiots will first concentrate their fixes to have higher benchmarks results

i have poor battery life than other device. i should have not moved to s9 from a huawei midrange device. having premium phone but you still need to think on saving battery doesn't make sense. why pay for a premium phone if you will need to turn off features and sleep the apps just to save juice while outside. this is not fair.

Standby time on my phone has been amazing. Actually from 100% -90%, my battery drains like crazy, but after that it steadies out. I forgot to charge my phone last night with 72%, woke up with 70% and now still going strong. I think I can last another day with this phone. Yeah yeah I only have like one hour and 30min of SOT as of right now, but when I use my.phone through heavy usage I usually can get 5 hrs or even 5hrs and a half. Here's my small tip on how to save battery life:
1. Power saving mode on: CPU limiter off / decrease brightness 10% /AOD off / FHD
2. Battery saving on location settings
3. Make sure data is off when using wifi (developer setting)
4. Delete or disable bloatware
5. Use BetterBatteryStats to check and make sure you have no wakelocks (had some before and with a reboot it fixed all my problems)
6. Make sure your phone settles in. Give it at least a week
7. Go to the battery setting and click on certain apps and disable background activity so that it doesn't trigger any warlock (this will disable notification so beware)
8. For people who use Facebook,delete it. Go to chrome (or brave, which is better) and sign into to your Facebook account and add the website to your homescreen. Honestly it's a lot smoother and you will still receive notifications.
And yeah that's about it for my battery saving tips. Battery will vary depending on your usage so dont depend too much on this idea.

Here's mine

I am looking at rooting my Note 9 I've almost had for 2 years is it worth it?

I don't use any of the Samsung Apps but I do have the Frontier watch and was wondering if this will be affected? Also are my banking apps affected? I'm looking to get more out my battery life, explore more customization options and for games that I play! Has anyone else done it?

Well that question can only be answered by you
If you don't use Samsung apps then that's one worry out the way.
About banking apps I found this which has some info in that regard at the end of the reply: https://www.quora.com/Is-using-bank...fe-Is-there-any-chance-our-data-to-get-stolen
Mainly this piece:
"Also, the banking apps these days have become smarter — they realize when they are run on rooted phones and would stop working totally (if they run at all in the first place)."
The way I understand it is that even if a certain banking app runs fine there's no guarantee that they won't update it to fix it and to make it unusable on rooted devices.
My advice would be against rooting this phone unless you're just bored and want to mess with it for no reason and are prepared to lose OTA/security updates and trip KNOX forever.
I mean I can't find a single thing missing from this beast in order to even consider rooting it. Plus it will get the latest OneUI 2.1 in June so

Thanks will try! My Note 10+ 5G 256GIG model is spot on with battery life, i wont even lose 1% over night even though its got no sim in it. Never am going to do that like purchase multiple phones with in few months of each other! i dont even play with my Note 10 + 5G or my Tab S6 LTE 256GB as the Note 9 does everything i need!
