Cell Standby Drain - is there a fix? - Moto Z2 Play Questions & Answers

Currently my phone is at 30% from 100% - 21 % of that is cell standby (mobile radio active for 16m it says), and only 18% of that is screen on (4.5 hours~). I tried turning off "keep mobile data active even on wifi" but that did nothing. Is there a known fix? I thought maybe turning off VoLTE would do it, but it just switches itself back on.

Strange. Last night for me the battery drop over 7 hours was zero. So I can't complain on standby battery drain.

Give some context to this maybe? Like how long was your phone on for? For instance, my battery is at 55% at 12hrs on battery with cell standby at the highest with 7% and my Screen using 2% with 2hrs SoT. Cause if your standby drain is over a full day, maybe you just have bad signal where you are?

Hey can u help me please... Battery draining too much.
As much as I have been able to check it's not getting fixed by doing the following
1) wipe partition cache
2) switching to 3g only
3) GAPPS Fix

Which ROM ? Stock or custom ?

Volte drains very little amount of battery. Do you have other things enabled like WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth, GPS, auto sync etc. which could keep the phone awake ? Download Devcheck from play store and check if your device is going to deep sleep.

Gps is on as well as wifi.
However as i have posted the battery usage per service. Only cell standby seems to be hogging most of the battery...
I am only left with resetting my device as a last alternative.
Checked via devcheck, it's a no go for deep sleep.

Android battery usage data can be unreliable. To check if cell standby is what actually draining battery try this-
Before you go to Bed, open Devcheck app on your phone and take a screenshot of deep sleep time after that leave your phone alone. Next morning open the app again and check the Deep sleep time. If all those hours are added to deep sleep, then cell standby is the actual cause of the battery drain. If the deep sleep time is similar to the night or only slightly different, then something else is keeping the phone awake and draining the battery.

Hey... Got it working... Thanks for ur advice but I ended up doing a hard reset of the device. And now the cell standby drain Is just 2-3 % overall.
Thanks though for ur help. I appreciate it. ?

[Q] Jellytime ROM on DHD - battery drain

How much does your Jellytime ROM drain from battery? Using battery e.g. Battery monitor widget, I can see 60mA drain when phone is standby. Seems to be a lot for me. I didn't find comparsion just subjective claims - high/low drain. 60mA is with wifi turned off, bt disables, no gprs/3g data, just standby. No application seems to be running. Battery stat shows that 60 % is display (but I can confirm that display is off), 40 % cell stand by and about the same amount phone idle.
You can try BetterBatteryStats to check what might be draining your battery (if any).

Thanks, I will try it. So far I was using Battery Monitor apk. However, I have no reference if my battery drain level is expected for that rom or not.
I'm also having issues with battery drain on JT... really strange. It seems to have drain when in standby, and when the screen is on it goes like crazy, I can't get more than like 20-30 minutes of screen-on time. I really like this ROM, it is pretty stable and works fine, no major bugs but the battery drain is crazy. I took a couple of screenshots. It seems that process Media is keeping it "awake" and causing battery drain. In all other ROMs I used (and in stock) I have never seen any other process except SCREEN using more than couple of percent of battery. Now this media process is using almost as screen! Any clues as what it is?
Also, I noticed that it discharges quickly when screen is on, but it also charges quickly! Something wrong with battery stats? It simply can't go from 20% to 70% in 10 minutes while charging?

Its about 1% per hour about the battery drain..quite good battery with usage

Hmm, could you provide mA value (battery monitor shows it in history in 10 minutes intervals..)
I can do five hours with normal use on a full charge..
These are battery stats for my DHD. The first one is standby over night with stok HTC ROM (2.3.5), the second one is with JellyTime ROM 9.1. It takes 10times more power.

That's not much. Was it better as long as you can remember with stock HTC ROM? I could do 2-3 days with normal use with stock ROM.

Yes, but my cost for 2-3 days is: no gsm data, no wifi (or wifi for something like 5 minutes), no widgets except htc clock & weather, almost no background apps, few phone calls, moderate number of sms. (Yes I hear you saying, you don't need 'smart' phone , I do, I use some apps but not too frequently, so avg running time from 100% to say 10% of battery was 2-3 days, mainly depending on number of sms sent
I had it charged to 100%. Then I kept it charging, went to recovery and deleted battery stats. I booted and when it displayed lock screen I unplugged. Then I played for like 10 minutes (screen on) and my battery went from 100% to 88% !!! A bit too much? I installed betterbatterystats so I hope I'll see which process keeps it awake (there's drain even when screen off)...

perhaps try to install: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw
it provides history of current consumption, that can tell whether it is a lot or not.
Btw, what do you exactly mean by "played for 10m"? What did you do?

Thanx for the tip, I'll try installing the app you suggest. "Played" means I turned the screens on louncher a couple of times to update all widgets, went into settings, looked at the battery stats etc. Maybe lounched foursquare and titanium backup, nothing really intensive... Here are shots from batterystats. Seems to me media service is doing it...

yes media service seems to be suspicious. It says, the phone was in deep sleep only half an hour for last hour while screen on was really only for about 10 minutes. I think the problem is in remaining time. I am not really familiar with bbs logs, maybe post the log into BBS thread here on XDA for help if you cannot figure it yourself.

There is no need for wiping battery stats.
Once your phone recharges to 100%, battery stats reset by default.

Ok, I figured out, what is causing high battery drain. It FM radio. After clean flash and basic setup, it consumes 10mA when standby. Which is twice more than with stock ROM, but seems to be acceptable. If I run and then exit Sprite FM radio app, phone starts to consume 60mA until reboot. After reboot, it is ok, until I run Sprite FM app again.
However, BBS does not show anything useful. Maybe because of FM HW keeps running? There is shown no SW battery eater..
I still can't figure it out Here's log of consumptuon in standby from last night, I have it set on profile manager to turn off data and set airplane mode from 1am-7am. Looks good to me, can someone confirm these are OK values?

this is expected consumption, with stock HTC ROM I got -3 - -5mA, but -7mA is pretty good. With R10 I got -10mA, don't know why it does sleep less than it should.

what happened here? -264mA is a lot of power consumption, do you remember what did you do? Common usage should be around -100mA.

Note 4 Always awake

Hi,
Attached are screen shots of my battery life. As you can see it is always awake.
One is on ART and the other dalvik. If I restart it will deep sleep for half a day to a day and then go on always awake.
Any thoughts on what it might be?
Looks like you have a really bad network connection which is keeping your phone awake
I disagree. My signal is worse here at the office. And my phone sleeps.
OP, I have the same problem from time to time. But I've never narrowed down what's fixed it. It's just magically gone one day. Hopefully someone has an answer.
Have you tried running stock before you install your apps? Maybe one of your apps is rogue with the system

What do you have installed? I'd look at the apps you installed as well as your location settings.
I usually keep location off and that doesn't seem to be pinging. The app I notice seems to have some correlation is Audible but I haven't played with it enough to say for sure. I don't think it is signal strength as if i just restart my phone it seems to work as intended.
Luckily it seems to keep the CPU running at the lowest setting so it hasnt destroyed my battery life but I go for 4hrs SOT of battery life with 50% remaining for a day to hitting 50% by 2-2:30 hrs SOT.

Doubts about battery A5 2017

Hi, I have doubts about the battery or need advices.
When I go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning (6 - 7 hours), the phone drains about 15 - 20%, is it normal?
When I go to sleep I put it in mid power saving, 80% brightness, wi fi and AoD activated, blue filter activated, auto brightness checkbox deactivated and in settings -> maintenance I erase RAM.
Even though, the battery lasts 36 hours or more.
Thanks in advance.
That's normal standby for most devices, though I don't really lose as much percentage overnight by just closing all apps before I go to bed and keeping the brightness low while leaving WiFi and Location Services on. I go to bed with 60% and wake up 7 hours later with around 50%, so maybe you're doing something wrong. But 15-20% overnight isn't really a big deal at all considering how fast this phone charges.; you get 20% back by charging for just 15 minutes. You'd really over ever notice a difference in standby time if you're coming from an iPhone which has the best standby time in the business, but this phone makes up for it just fine.

I see. In fact, last night it went from 60 to 51, so it depends on a lot of things.
Do you say I must change/add some other settings to improve the battery life?
Thanks a lot for your answer!

I knew for sure that my battery life increased exponentially when the phone started dozing apps I didn't frequently use. The phone hibernates apps after 3-7 days of not being used, but you can put them to sleep yourself in Device Maintenance.

I lost just 1-5 at the night I stop AoD,and wifi if you use Facebook app or social media apps will drain battery faster than when using browser it's better.:good:

Where exactly do I put apps to sleep? Or may I force them to stop? (don't know if it is said like that, I have it in Spanish).

Only 1-5% ? Amazing. Yeah, but if you deactivate wifi, you won't get any notifications of anything during the night (if you think about it, you won't answer any because you are sleeping). Maybe I'll try that.
I don't use Facebook too much, but the browser version is a bit slower and not comfortable IMO.
The principal app that drains my battery is the PvZ2, though.
It will disconects wifi even when you turn it on... I lose abou 2 to 3 % night, but I dont see point of having device on during night so now I power it ofd

Settings > Device Maintenance > Battery > Check the apps you don't frequently use and tap Save Power. If you choose to sleep Instagram, for example, you can still open it anytime later by just tapping the app, it'll just take an extra second to start which you won't even notice.

Instead of turning it off completely, you can also use the maximum power saving mode. Using that, I went to sleep with 97% and once I checked after waking up it was 96%.
I didn't measure the boot time of the device (not that I even care about it) but disabling the power saving mode might be a bit faster than turning the phone on.
Thanks all of you!
It is NOT normal for battery to drain 15-20% overnight.
Normal drain in that period would be 1-2% without AOD and 4-5% with AOD.
Battery wise A5 '17 have good one. I usually get about 7 hrs on SOT with medium ussage or 1.5 days ussage.

25% battery consumption overnight...

Hi everyone
hope this is a good place for this. I just bought a brand new P2 and yesterday I was doing some configuring for it and updated it to 7.0 (S244 stock). I did wipe it after all the updates according to instructions on this forums. Before going to sleep I charged it to 100%, unplugged the charger and left the phone with all connectivity (wifi, lte, bt, nfc etc.) turned off. I expected 2-5% battery drop but when I woke up in the morning it went down by 25% (!). Also my wallpaper changed to black colour(?). Something's definitely wrong What can I do about this?
Power manager shows the system as the main source of battery drain.
Another thing I noticed is that the video (YouTube, VLC) and alarm sounds are stuttered, there is like 0.5 sec lag every 10-15 secs...
Please someone tell me if this is normal and what can I do? Should I do factory reset once again or maybe flash the firmware? Can that help?
UPDATE:
I have found that the cause of the baterry drain problem is the CPU, it does not go to deep sleep at all and CPU-Z shows that it constantly jumps beetwen 652Mhz and 1401 or 1689Mhz on all 8 cores (even with no apps in the background and all connectivity turned off). Please have a look at my screenshots from GSam Battery Monitor:

https://photos.app.goo.gl/HwZqMuQFPHLK9C2D3
https://photos.app.goo.gl/eV8uRP3AZ4SARze03
Clearly something is wrong, any suggestions? Please guys tell me something.
Is nobody else experiencing this? Does no one have ANY suggestions for me whatsoever? I did a factory reset, phone is still losing 1-2% battery per hour with all connectivity and screen OFF. So basically it loses per hour what it should lose during whole night.
Are you on Nougat or Lollipop?
Can you post up the system battery stats from the phone.
Which apps have you installed?
Try these...

Obviously the deep sleep is not happening in your unit. Let's see what is the root of this problem:
1) Settings > WLAN > cog-wheel icon > Keep WLAN on during sleep = Never.
2) Settings > Power manager > Battery saver > On.
3) Settings > Data usage > Data saver > On. Ensure zero apps is allowed to use unrestricted data when Data Saver is on.
4) Charge the device till 100% (do it before bedtime).
5) Turn on Airplane mode.
6) See the per hour drain the next morning. It should be between 0.1% to 0.3% per hour in the GSam Battery Monitor app (assuming you slept for 8 hours).
If the above result is true, meaning, there is / are 3rd party apps that trigger the wake lock activity. But which app(s) to be blamed? Please list down the apps list for us to test in our unit.
@Treboeth, Nougat (s244) as I wrote in the first post. Battery stats after the night attached below.
@azeemzuhair Thank you for your input. Im going to describe what I did. Yesterday I did the factory reset, I didnt install ANY new applications (except for Alarmy but I needed it and phone was losing same amount of energy without it). So the only apps that drain the phone are the system apps themself. Before going to sleep I charged the device to 100%. As for points 1-3 from your post both WiFi and Data were OFF as well as bluetooth and NFC. I left it for the night with screen OFF. These are results after the night (SoT 1 min., standby 9 hours, 22% of battery gone, so that gives approximately 2% discharge rate per hour). This is clearly terrible. Any ideas what next?

Airplane vs active SIM stand-by drain...
Airplane mode stand-by drain @ 0.1% per hour:
Single SIM Active mode stand-by drain @ 0.5% per hour:
Ok, so I left it in Airplane mode for the night and the discharge rate was 0.2%, that is some progress. After that I charged it to 100%, unplugged, disabled the Airplane mode and left it for 5 hours. Battery drain is due to SIM card and phone although they were not used and the signal was good. Everything can be seen in these screenshots:

My hypothesis is that the "Alarmy" app caused the wakelock. By judging at the Airplane mode, Alarmy still wakes the "CPU". You may try to uninstall it and monitor the energy consumption for the next 3 days...

Try "Network Reset"
Still the same? Wipe cache partition in the stock Lenovo Recovery.
Finally, hard reset is the last resort.
Thank your for your reply. Removing SD card fixed the SIM management drain but the "Phone Services" still drain the battery. I did the network settings reset and will see if it helps. As for cache wipe and factory reset I'd like to remind that the whole troubleshooting process started with factory reset so I dont know if that can help.

General No Deep Doze unless I disable Sim-Card

Hey guys,
I always wondered, why my phone wouldnt Deep Doze (according to Gsam). Be aware: I am not talking of the Deep Sleep (the CPU state, that is happening).
I always lost between 1,5 and 2% per hour overnight with the phone just sitting on the table, connected to the home wifi.
I disabled the Sim-Card (physical one, no e-sim) before going to bed tonight and my phone deep dozed now.
Yes, I am aware that there is this Mobile Network Standby Drain Bug. But since I disabled "Always use mobile date" in developer settings and was using WIFI during mentioned times, I dont know how that appiles to me.
Anyone has ideas?
Thanks!
Put it into airplane mode overnight and see if you get the drain. At least you'll know if it's a app or radio issue.

no offense dude, but did u read my post? see above.
What the heck is deep doze?
As stated above, it is a doze state that is being entered after the light doze. Check Gsam battery for your stats regarding deep doze.
I had the same problem, dropping 2-3% per hour over night. I turned 5G off, turned off 'mobile data always active' in developer settings and turned off adaptive connectivity.
Now im only losing .2-.5% per hour overnight.

May be related to a ProxyController bug that people have reported. One workaround I've heard of (cannot confirm it works) is to turn off Airplane mode, reboot, then turn on Airplane mode,

I did all that. No deep doze tho. And even when I had deep doze when disabling the sim-card entirely, i had more than 1% drain per hour in standby. How tf do u get .2-.5%!? Do u have telegram/whatsapp/insta?

Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me. Light doze, deep doze, medium awake doze.. come on look at your cpu stats and deep sleep when screen is off. If it's not deep sleeping overnight at least 90% then something is keeping the phone awake and you need to find it. Get BBS and look at your alarms and partial wakelocks. You have a runaway program that is constantly waking up your device. Mine was Mi Fit and I tweaked it so it's not awake all night long. Went from 1.8% / hour to 0.4% - 0.7% consistently.
@Napa7m Insta and WhatsApp shouldn't be doing it. Not sure about Telegram but I do recall some issues a year ago and I deleted it from the phone.

Either something is using up power when device should be deep sleeping, or it's just defective.
So he's right, monitor app usage and go from there. The built-in battery stats work well enough. It's how I discovered that 'mobile network standby' was consuming 20-30% over night with nothing going on.
DOn't forget to expand the 'system usage' at the very bottom of 'battery usage'.

I did and it still sounds like you're looking in the wrong place for your awake status. It's a background process that can't really be tweaked or modified on it's own. But alarms and wakelocks can that's why I said look there first. If your phone is not deep sleeping err.. deep dozing then something is keeping it awake. Find it and you're home free. What kind of deep sleep are you getting overnight?

Deep sleep = deep doze? My wifi is on and have 4G enabled. This as taken about a month ago but nothing has changed.

I have about the same as you, mobile network standby around 20-25% overnight. I don't turn off 5G but I am connected to wireless with a very good signal. I have mobile data always active enabled as well as adaptive connectivity enabled. What I did to was turn off every adaptive setting in battery settings. Perhaps it's the wifi I'm connected to but I'm getting average 0.5-0.6% drain overnight. Deep sleep around 92 %. As I said, I did see some partial wakelocks and alarms when I was almost 2% / hour and either deleted the apps or figured out how to stop/slow them when not in use.
@bobby janow ok my man. first of all. a read for you, what deep/light doze is: https://www.andreasschrade.com/android-battery-optimisations
and no, its not the same as deep sleep. deep sleep is the cpu frequency.
my phone is now (out of a sudden) going into deep doze overnight, so that seems fine. also wakelocks couldnt have prevented my phone from going into deep doze, cause then, it would have also not gone into deep doze when I had my cd-card disabled (since there should be still wakelocks, when my phone is connected to wifi and all, right
since mobile standby is concerningly huge in the battery stats i assume its the usual culprit, but disabling adaptive connectivity, 5g and enabling that dev option does not help.
tho i am willing to find some wakelocks (since they seem to affect the device also a bit in terms of my standby drain). according to gsam everything is fine in that department, cant really find unusual wakelocks. does bbs show more there? im not very keen in running an adb to make it work...what does that command line do exactly?
thanks!!
@xflowy BBS needs 4 adb commands and it takes about 30 seconds to complete with a copy and paste from his thread. It has two wakelocks stats, kernel and partial. The kernel ones are meaningless to me but the partial tell a lot, you'll see. Also just as important is the alarms stat. It gives you that amount of time an app is firing i.e. wakeups. Check it out see if it helps you. Thanks for the read, but it's beer day today and that looks like it will take all my concentration. Lol.
@xflowy On first read it looks like battery optimization regulates doze mode, right? I mean that's really the only way?
It also happened to me after many tests I have managed to solve it, deactivating the sim card and esim, and restart, then activate the sims and drain solved, it already goes into deep sleep.
I have the exact same issue. I thought I'm the only one. But I'm unable to resolve with this by disabling sim n reboot method. Can anyone suggest if it's hardware fault ?
