So my question is is that why is the Wifi usage is not shown at all in battery stats? My guess is that it's merged with cell standby. Also my cell standby consumes around 1000 Mah in one day, i think that's quite alot. Also my signal is good, 0% without signal.

Hello,
I am experiencing a tremendous battery drain when the wifi is switched on, but the device is not used. The battery is discharged after 12 hours!
With this setting, with WM5, the charge would last 2 to 3 days.
I am now testing how the battery performs when the wifi is switched off.
Does anyone experiences this battery drain with the wifi switched on? Is there a solution to this problem? (I just find switching the wifi on and off manually a little annoying)
Thanks!
I am having the same prob, when WiFi on, but not used my battery drained 6% in 2 minutes
also
same here but my battery drains bad no matter what i'm doing
buy a new batter
im using a battery for da wing that is 50 percent longer than the regular one heres the place i bought it

I am on the 0828 ezgingerbread. I have wifi sleep policy set to "never", because I need VoIP. This is a G1 with wifi on, sitting on the desk very close to the wifi AP, the battery drops from >90% to ~40% in 14 hours with almost no usage. I checked the battery usage and found "Wifi" used 60-70% power.
This is different from my previous experience with MT3G rom (froyo) also from ezterry, for that the battery drain was about half of that speed I would say, with wifi always on.
Do you also see the same high battery usage for wifi? Thanks!
I'm now with ginsense 2.3.7 from rushnees and i can tell you that it drains the battery.
As i know, wifi for a long-usage is better than 3G in the battery section.Ask to the developer about another kernel.
Wifi alway drain battery if you constantly have it on. If that how much the drain is, you are pretty good. My would drop to the point where I have to charge it.
Anyone have issues with high Cell Standby? My cell standby is at the top of my list with "time on 8h 12m" (pretty much my entire time off the charger) and Time without signal is 0% (so i haven't lost connection plus I've been on Wifi at home the entire time)
Ive also only have about 52 mins of screen on time with light use and I'm down to 79%. The drain seems very high considering how I've used the phone. I just don't understand why the standby is so high or whats causing it. Im stock rooted and have r17 Franco Kernel installed, it seemed to have started when I installed the latest r17 but I'm pretty sure it would be a coincidence since the cell standby was always kinda high on my list but not as bad as lately.

If you don't use the phone and keep it away, obviously the cell standby will come first but that much battery should not be drained. I can notice max 2-3% of battery drain from 100% over-night on stock
If you don't charge your phone up all the way to 100%, the battery stats don't reset.
Otherwise I think it's sounds reasonable.
8hr stand by, a little under 1 hr screen, wifi on the whole time.
That's about 9 hours total + wifi for 21% or 676.2 mah used. I usually run with a huge stand by time, not so much SOT. I get about 35%~ a day so I charge up every three days.
If you're on WiFi and cell standby is that high then you probably have a weak voice signal connection. What colour is it on your graph? You can also check your signal level in Settings > About Phone > Status
For everyone having high battery drain on cell standby on 5,1, I think the issue isn't as bad as the Android battery stats show in settings. I have installed Gsam Battery Monitor and the stats that the app show, are way different then the stats that the battery settings show. The Gsam Battery stats look much more realistic.
I have the stats from a day and a half, but I didn't turn on cell data, unless I needed it, which gets rid of the cell standby bug on lollipop, so you don't see the high cell stanby issue. Today I will keep data and WiFi on and post tomorrow, just to show the high cell data battery usage on Android settings, compared to GSM Battery.
Notice the screen use is 20% different, the WiFi is 4% different, which is almost a third, even with data off to stop high cell stanby battery use, my radio uses a total of 9%, but GSM battery app, has a total of 3%, which is 2/3rd less. The only thing, that looks correct is app use in settings battery.
It will be interesting to see the difference on cell standby and phone idle, when I have WiFi and data on the whole time, which makes the cell stanby use like 50% in the battery settings stats for me normally. I will post when my phone gets low

These effects are not bugs in general. LP just has bad description of what Cell Stand-by is exactly. Same goes to wifi and other stuff.
It's also very bad idea in general to claim bugs, when you have so little info to rely on, let alone how accurate the tools you use are.
Unless you got direct access to actual measurement of a given component, everything goes in the realm of hugely distorted approximation.
In other words, you're wasting your time.But hey, it's your time after all!
Um this is a well known bug not claimed by me lol
Play store services says 30% in the Android settings and 1.2% in GSM today. The cell stanby us at 20% in Android and 10% in GSm
Most of the time phone is in same location where network signal is 50%, but still idle battery drain is very high >10% overnight. Any suggestions to avoid high idle battery drain?
Also the graph attached is from 95% to 16% but the total sum of usage in battery -> show full device is 68%, where was other ~11% used?

I have the same problem ! Overall the X4 is one of the better phones I have used but the battery is the bummer in standby. Overnight drain is > 10%
Could anyone please suggest what to do? My device is stock unrooted. And, I want to keep it that way. At least for now.
Same issue
