I have a n920c with cambodian marshmallow flashed on it!
I have rooted it via cf autoroot and it works perfectly fine. It automatically roots and fixes deep sleep simultaneously!
The thing is, I have literally negligible standby battery drain when wifi is off. But if I keep it on, the standby drain rockets up to 4% an hour. I need to keep wifi on during sleep because I need to stay connected at all times on viber and whatsapp with family so I don't want to keep wifi off during sleep.
Is it normal to experience this much drain when wifi during standby is on ( ~4%/hr).
If somebody has a solution, please do help me out.
Because this means, if I'm doing my work when my phone sits beside me with wifi on (which i need) and I lose this much, I'm at a great loss.
Or is this normal with all note fives?
P.S. I keep everything greenified, location off, all battery saving things etc etc..
Would love it if anyone had a fix.
I have the 920C too on MM but not rooted.
I've got a bad battery drain overnight as well (around 20-25% per night).
Greenify and most bloatware disabled.
I'll try to turn wifi off tonight and see if anything changes.

Never been rooted; phone is barely 2 weeks old.
My battery life on lollipop wasn't any better either.
Then I think this is common with everyone.
Your Wi-Fi sucked the life out of your phone during the night.
Try it tonight without Wi-Fi and reply again with screenshots if possible buddy!

So I charged it to 100% right before I went to bed and switched wifi off.
I noticed a lower battery drain overnight when wifi is off; you were right.
Screenshots attached.
What firmware are you on? Did you do a factory reset prior to installing the update?
Do you have other mods installed? Or apps that might be requesting constant data connection?

What I find extremely curious is that if I constantly use my phone throughout the day, I get great battery life. As in I come home after 8 and a half hours with only 30% battery loss; which is amazing.
Note that by "constantly use" I mean heavy usage where I browse the internet, check email, edit documents, compulsively check social media including snapchat and the like with constant texting, but without gaming or long periods of video playback.
I'm starting to think if I keep an app running and keep my screen on but dimmed to the max all night long, I might get less battery drain
Is this on wifi or network? Wifi kills my phone battery at home eve ln it's not being used.
Yesterday I installed juice defender and I have 20% more charge remains than previously with a typical day use for me. It turns wifi off and hibernates when I press home key on the home screen (gestures in Nova settings). Seems to be helping no end - +20% battery by end of a typical day. This is in addition to package disabler and Greenify, and auto wifi off when I leave home using IFTTT, as well as optimised apps. Try it.

I'm getting a regular wakelock labeled msm_hsic_host. I thought this was related to the phone's radio, but I turned on airplane mode and the wakelock continues. Anyone know why?

You probably have a rogue app polling for a radio signal and putting it in airplane mode is making it worse.
The same wakelock doubled my battery drain last night. I had it in airplane mode overnight. Going to leave the signal on tonight and see what happens. I was getting between 3-7% but it was 15% last night.
Tested it again last night. Unplugged at 4pm yesterday and used 5% battery overnight. I just hit 24 hours with light/medium use today and battery is at 75%. I know others have shared this but battery life has certainly improved with time. The wakelock is certainly reduced leaving data connected overnight. Hope this helps.

GSam battery monitor has an option at the bottom that looks like a vacuum. Its called app sucker. Once that screen opens there is a drop down menu at the top that allows you to see the kernel wakelocks. Then you can select each wakelock and the next screen has a button there to google it. Hope this helps.

I think it is. But alot depends on your settings and the strength of the cell connection. Actually the cell connection is about the biggest battery drain that I have. I use Tasker on my phone. It disconnects my cell connection when the screen times out and limits anything running in the background. Calls and texts still come through. When the screen wakes up everything reconnects. Some would say the settings I use are extreme but I get good battery life from it. Tasker can be difficult to start at first but there are some good youtube how-to videos. Im hoping the new battery saving feature in lollipop will make it unnecessary to regulate any settings. I guess we will see.

This. I use tasker to turn off data and auto sync when I go to sleep (because its literally a waste of battery) and I got 0% to 2% drainage overnight (total, not hourly) but that was with a custom rom. I expect 0.5% to less than 1% per hour with this phone because at idle with 4g on I drain about 1%/hr
Hello, I'm new here. Coming from a Galaxy Nexus, and I'm impressed with this device already.
My question is if it's normal that battery drains around 4 or 5 % over night. I always turn off data, wifi, put it on airplane mode. I also disabled active display, the camera gesture thing and the voice commands.
I think it should be 0% drain :/

Zero drain is pretty much impossible unless you turn it off or own an old school Nokia

(Guessing 8 hours of sleep.) .5-.6 % per hour is great for this phone.
With data (not wifi), active display, gestures and voice commands turned on, plus a few root level changes like greenify, xposed amplify and freezing apps, I achieve around 1 % per hour at idle on stock 4.4.4. This usually equates to around 3 days standby and 1.5 hours of screen time for me.
(I am now testing lollipop... I'm at 1.5 days with 1.5 hours screen time, longer than normal talk time and 30% battery remaining.)
I don't even make it to a day lol. Usually I've to charge at night and then around 7 pm
Here is my sleep running r12 kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59527748&postcount=811 And I don't turn on airplane mode or anything. That is just screen off.
Same problem here (Android 4.4.4, rooted).
Battery drain in flight mode (additionally also tried Moto Voice off, Active Display off, Data off, GPS off without any positive effects) is nearly the same as over the day when using the phone.
The fact that "Stand by" has 25% of all battery usage is a little bit perverted
I'm really happy with Moto X' battery consumption over the day. Normally I have to charge it every second night. But putting to flight mode at 56% when going to sleep and not charging it and finding it at 40% the next morning is kind of frustrating
Install Bettery Guru from Qualcomm, from play store if you run 4.4.x or download the apk from somewhere if you run 5.1+. It will help you reduce the standby drain.

From my experience the Motorola SoC has a abnormal high Standby battery drain. You can try whatever you want but you will not get below a certain level like on other phones. Perhaps the contextual cores are never turned off no matter if you use the feature or not, i don't know. At least it gets me trough a day...

Hello people
I bought z3compact, and I started to have big problems with battery drain, I tried to downgrade on 5.0.2, then tried factory, then 6.0.1 beta, and at least I tried custom rom Lolipop Slim and everytime is same story, I barely had one day battery juice, and when i go to sleep, I lose more than 20% thorough the night, when I go to settings number one in battery using is Cell standby, SOT I have barely 2 hours.
Is there any help, I think the radio is problem.

Check the mobile radio active time in the apps that show the greatest battery drain. If any of them are more than an hour when you're sleeping, then the big has bitten you. Connect to wifi as a workaround. There's also a supposed fix for the mobile radio active bug somewhere on XDA. Try searching and food luck!

Look at which apps are using the most battery under settings/power management/battery usage.
UNINSTALL facebook, which will be the biggest eater of battery, access it through the webpage
If you have a rooted phone, install AFWall., then restrict whatsapp,twitter,*messging apps* to wifi only, see if that makes a difference. Once you see a difference in batterybehavior, slowly let them back onto mobile data one at a time until you find the culprit (whatsapp probably)
Google Play Services is a usual suspect. Start by turning off synchronise on your google account.
There's a fix for google here.
If you have poor reception of mobile signal in your house, trying turning the phone to GSM.
Settings/wifi/advanced wifi - scanning always available OFF - keep wifi on during sleep ONLY WHEN PLUGGED IN
Research on the BBS thread
If you have a rooted phone download Disableservice from the playstore.
Once it's installed, open the system tab, open Google Play Services, then untick (disable) the following:
ConfigFetchService
FitnessSyncAdapterService
GoogleLocationManagerService
GoogleLocationService
NetworkLocationService
ProximitySettingInjectorService
UserPresenceService
WearableControlService
WearableService
WearableSyncService
then reboot your phone.
Disabling these from running should have no impact on your phone, it doesn't for me, and will give you 10-15% more battery life.
The other thing that extended my battery life was deleting the cached data. Settings\Storage and hold down on Cached data until you get a popup asking you to delete it. I know it sounds bizarre, but it really worked.
As a last resort you could try amplify as it is good at reducing wakelocks, but to get it running requires xposed as well as entering lots and lots of changes to the phone timings, getting these wrong will stuff your phone! Beware

There's an extremely great guide here on XDA on how to save battery Here check this out
It incorporates Greenify which is used to hibernate apps, Amplify which is to limit wakelocks and many more, personally Ive been noticing a great improvement, I only lose 1% per 8 hours per night of sleep
battery
So I tried everything that you wrote, and last hope was KITKAT, and baterry is little bit better but not enough, barely I can use it one day, so when I am on sleep battery % drops quite fast, about 4% per hour, but when I have screen on I have 20- 25 minute in 10 % of battery. do you think it is battery bad or software bug?
Thank you
So guys i put marshmallow, and when the screen is on all day i have 6 h of SOT, but when it sleeps i have barely 1-2 h SOT, what the hell is going on with my phone
Screen on time measures just that, the amount of time the screen is on. You can drain the battery by playing music all day and get 0 hours of screen on time. It is not and should not be used as an indicator of battery life. Send us another screen shot of your usage statistics

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 BLU R1 HD'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!
Good very small drop while not being used, even when loaded up with apps.
I experience pretty bad battery drain on idle. Basically, if I leave my phone alone without turning on the screen, it would be fully drained in about 30 hours.
I've reset the phone many times but phone idle always remain as the top battery draining app. averaging about 100 mah per hour constantly.

Exactly this! My phone uses more battery while on standby than with the screen on watching things! I don't understand this behavior. Powernap + Greenify + Amplify doesn't solve it either, even the things that keep it "awake" are hibernated and also delayed by Amplify. Wakelock detector doesn't even detect any apps that are running during standby either. Also, I have no bad signal because it is always on full bars or 1 less than full.
If anyone figures it out I would love to know how to solve it.
I get this too. Im trying to debloat the rom of some apps that seem a little suspicious. Will do this tonight. Already backed up my current system partition in case I break something. Wish me luck! :good:

Tell us how it goes. I have actually converted the Amazon ROM to the OEM version, however, that doesn't fix the problem.

Me too. And I have debloted OEM rom to what I consider closest to slim or stock. We'll see later how it goes.
i've pretty much ran the Prime version debloated or the OEM debloated, same thing. I think it has to do with the phone radio and Android 6?
When I put it on airplane mode with only WIFI turned on, phone idle isn't as bad.
Maybe its kernel controlled? Have u tried flashing the 6.6 updates radio.img? Does it contain one? I only used prime to power on the phone from then on only OEM version debloated. And as you say its always consuming batt on idle. I'll give airplane mode a try today.
Alright, I have just installed the xposed module "MobileRadioActiveFix" so this will confirm if it is in fact the data that's impacting standby battery. However, not too sure because "Intelligent Battery Saving" does disable data over time and the draining is still happening in that mode.
Anyways, I'm going to be testing this and report back. @l33chpda @Alex_XV6700

I figured it out, I was monitoring the CPU states and the CPU is not using a hot plug. It nevers makes a core go offline even when the screen is off and it will ramp up while the screen is off because there doesn't seem to be a cap when the screen is off.
I think the only way that we are fixing this is if someone makes a kernel with a hot plug in it.
With Prime 6.4 mine lasts a month on Wi-Fi.

Yes, it doesn't make a difference. I do consistently get 4-6 hours for every two days, however, I can get more if the idle battery life is not there. For example, with your chart, my idle time would be about 45%-55% above the screen.
It's just the way it's reported in this ROM. Instead of looking at the battery stats, just look at the actual battery life of the phone, which is fine.
I have stock V12 vanilla ROM, and I find the standby drain can at times be worse than when I'm using the phone, and I'm not sure why. I'll put the phone in airplane mode and put it to sleep right after unplugging it from charging overnight and when I check on it in an hour or so it'll be down from 100% battery to 90%. When I turn off airplane mode and use the phone normally from that point on, battery drain is normal.

Yes, I experience the same thing! However, overnight, it drains about 10%-20% even though looking at the stats it is not even awake! It should only be draining about 1%-3% because it is not really doing anything at night.
Even the screen uses less power than the standby. @waingro808 could be possibly right that it is just reporting the battery stats different, however, on other phones with the phone idle, that percentage is very low and not as high as ours.

The battery stats dont add up either...
As you can see in my screenshots Im still 14% on battery
And it states that between SOT and Idle I have consumed more than the 2500mAh that this phone has on the battery.

Ne Firmware should make things even better
I would try recalibrating the battery, I have found that it lasts very long after hitting 1%, and others have also found that the phone continues charging for a bit after hitting 100% (even with the LED being green). So completely drain the phone, let it charge to 100% and when it hits 100%, give it like half an hour more.
Also, disabling 5G in the Network settings should help. If you are underground (with bad cell signal), I would suggest you enable Airplane mode and then enable Wifi. This will prevent the phone from constantly searching for a better cell signal. Doing this helped me reduce idle drain.
Last night with a few videos + today, I got a total of 3h40 at 120hz durable mode (Charge limit to 90% and the phone is still at 15% battery left).

I got it via OTA.
Also you probably need to set up other (was tired yesterday evening):
dynamic mode
5g off
90 Hz Display (I don't really see the difference between 90/120)
Wifi, BT, location always on
I get around 7 h of SOT fully charged and 5 hours brings me from bed to bed.
Yeah 5g off makes a lot of difference to me. I also use Naptime.
I see a big change with location off. Just put it on qith quick toggle when needed. The standby is much much better with just this change for me. I have 5G because my plan doesn't allow it either way.
As others said, it's about 5-6 SoT, normal use on its stock Asus Android OS.
After installing LineageOS on now I got 8+ SoT.
Due to the clean LineageOS, 60Hz screen refreah rate, battery saver always on, no google spying services installed, 100% google free,no blotware, no whatsapp no facebook...
Phone now lasts me comfortably a full day of work (sometimes day and half).
I use it for work not as my playstation.
I'm super happy.
