Moto X battery draining on cell standby! - Moto X Q&A

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?
Tucking makes the hone unusable

[Q] No Data Connection, No or Unknown Signal Battery Drain

Hi i am having a big battery drain recently. My ROM is cm 10.1 20130304 galaxysmtd m2(stable) with stock cm kernel. I get 1% drain every 2 min with WiFi on, 3 to 4 minutes when using with out WiFi.
I checked better battery stats to search for battery draining apps and found that No Data Connection and No or Unknown Signal. See screen shots from below

I have the same issue with my i9000 after flashing CM9. My BetterBatteryStats stats are the same.
The battery drains very fast.
Did you figured out a solution for this?

I had the same problem this week. After half a day my battery was empty. I noticed that an application was using WiFi a lot. BetterBatteryStats couldn't give me enough information.
The problem was caused by K-9 mail. Accounts with IMAP settings made K-9 constantly polling. After changing it to POP3 the problem was solved. If you use K-9 mail, give it a go.
Me too!
I have this problem too, but I am not an expert with software, so someone please help us, I don't know how to solve this problem!
i had this problem mine is working again no data loss for a week .
what i did was flashed darky 10.2 re the went and flashed alliancerom jw4 then jw8 downloaded apn tweaker from google play store phone working normal again

as far as i observed if you turn on your data connection then it stops No Data Connection, No or Unknown Signal Battery.... i don't know why this is happening even if in aeroplane mode or wifi mode .. but that's the case... give a try and post your observation here

Battery issues

I think I have an issue with my battery, or possibly phone!
On my Galaxy S3 LTE I've been experiencing very poor battery life recently and have tried a few suggestions to improve it.
I have kept the screen brightness on -5, I have applied Power Saving Mode, disabled 4G mode (not using currently anyway) and installed a battery saver app (Internet Commander). However none of these seems to have made a difference!
As an example, here is my phone at 5.36 this morning on 71%. That is after I took it off a full charge at 11.30pm when I went to bed. So in Standby it had used 29% in around 6 hours. Then it just got worse through the day...

At 3.23 I had just 8% battery left!! And that was after a top up charge of about 20% around 11am!! I had listened to half a dozen songs on the phone but thats it!
As you can see I do have data enabled, and just the standard apps installed (WhatsApp, KIK messenger, facebook, BBC Weather, Sky News, etc...). I also only have 1 widget on my home screens which is the BBC Weather app widget.
Could it just be a faulty battery? Would a faulty battery cause this kind of rapid decrease?

I blame those battery intensive apps showing in your statusbar. Your battery is being used by Cell Standby, this is your Data connection being used to receive notifications. The fact that you have high Google Services percentages also points to this since it uses your wifi and radio to get your location periodically when set to do so. Start by disabling feature under location settings. Next, have a look at Android Device Manager in Google Settings, disable the location setting if you do not intend to use it. Anything that uses your Data, will cause more drain, especially on higher bands like HSPA.
Again, Whatsapp and Kik will constantly receive push notifications and sync, this also adds to your battery drain.
Thank you, I will try your suggestions
Hi, i had the Problem with huge batterx drain too. The battery didn't last much longer than 8 hours. My phone didn't go to deep sleep mode
I then installed wake lock detector and One Power Guard. In One Power Guard i aktivatet AI mode and now it looks like this:

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.

[Question/Discussion] Severe battery drain in PIE stock May and June

I bought this phone 2 weeks ago, and soon rooted it and installed May Update via Fastboot.
While I'm generally happy with this phone, there's serious battery drain issue due to a particular wakelock called IPCRTR_lpass_rx. While there are others like RILJ etc. they are still not that severe.
I've tried Wifi on + data off, both on, both off, Only Sim 1 activated, both sims activated.
After this, I even put my mobile on flight mode for a night and there was around 20% drain overnight. In my previous mobile Redmi 3S, there would hardly be 1% drain over night on flight mode and 3-4% if Wifi was on.
I was tracking these using BetterBatteryStats, however, while tracing the root cause, i even uninstalled BBS and used the system in-built bug report and analyzed it on battery historian to track the wakelocks and all.
Then came June update. I clean flashed through the unofficial fastboot, formatted data partition as well so as to leave no stone unturned. Again the same situation. A lot of battery drain.
Here are some reports -

}
Please see the attached graph.
1. At around 6.30 PM (UTC) (graph times are in UTC) (12 AM IST) I kept my phone on flight mode at 50% battery and slept for 8 hours.
2. I woke up around 3.30 AM UTC (in the graph) (i.e, 9 AM IST) and checked my battery percentage. It was down to 30% from 50%.
3. Checked the main cause of wakeups, not much in Userspace wakelocks but massive amounts of kernel wakelocks from IPCRTR_lpass_rx. For the duration of this graph, there were over a million (2.3 x 10^6) wakelocks from this service, causing wakelocks every 2-3 seconds.
4. Even though phone went into full doze after some time, this wakelock continued.
Any suggestions on how to go about solving this?
Running June update, Rooted + cam2api enabled using Magisk patched boot img
Its been a month since i moved to a custom ROM, currently on Havoc OS 2.7
The severety of the bug is lesser than stock ROM, however, still quite random and causes battery drain and keeps CPU awake!
Check the wake sources, IPCRTR_lpass_rx is the number one wakelock with 10^6 wakelocks!! Thats way too huge in my opinion, and keeps my CPU awake.
At least i can prevent the wakelock to a large extent by turning off location, wifi (or both) in Havoc. It also doesn't occur during flight mode, or if it does sometimes, a restart usually solves the problem for me.
Ideally, even if i keep wifi on, battery should not drain more than 4-5% overnight (which was the case in all of my previous phones, and in my friends' phones other than Mi A2).
This is december now. And so far, the only problem i have with this device is the poor battery, intensified with software problems, poor modem and LPASS!!!
Its kind of frustrating for me.
Please see the screenshots and the attached bugreport.

Well, i'm very satisfied with battery on this device. It could be better, but it's only 3000mah.
This ss was taken yesterday.

Could you find what this Lpass wakelock mean? It occured 3720k times in 5 hours for me.
Unreal!

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.

Tried almost everything except this one. I noticed this option was enabled on my phone. Turned it off today. Let's see how it goes. Thanks for suggestion!

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?
