As the title says, standby battery is awful.
I have all the bloatware disabled, only things on push are gmail and facebook messenger.
Cell standby is also sitting at 20% battery usage, no matter what, 2nd on the list behind screen time. Note 3 had exactly the same issue where cell standby is concerned. None of my other phones have had this issue, including my S2 with buggy as hell CM11, OnePlus One, Moto G LTE, etc.
No matter what I do, even with everything disabled and on airplane mode, there's a constant 1% battery drain every hour.
In my Note 3's case, this only happened on stock samsung firmware. When I flashed CM11, the issue went away completely. Something like 0.3% drained per hour instead.
So to me the issue is with Samsung's crappy software. I know the battery life was woeful on the Note 4 anyway before an update came in to fix things up a bit. Maybe they're saving the fixes for 5.0?
I know a new update for the N910C was released a couple of days ago too, but not available on European models yet.
Anyone else having these issues?
I dont have this issue at all my friend if i were u id try a complete wipe 1st, some people have had this issue too so returning could be an answer
Same here...
I only lost 4% battery overnight and don't have this problem too
20% battery loss on standby but mobile data was enabled.
^ you may have a bad app and/or bad signal
I have 4 bars lte at home, 2-3 bars at work, wifi always full signal at both work and home, one is ac 5ghz, other n 2.4ghz, no difference in drain either way.
Ive done a factory wipe 3 times now, even through recovery once. No change. Better battery stats and gsam both report no rogue apps, and ive also tested by having no apps installed, with and without bloatware disabled.
Im not really keen on the idea of voiding my warranty to test other kernels etc, and the only other option is to flash the ank5 update to test.
Ive attached another screenshot showijg the issue better. The drain gets noticeably worse after the first 50% or so, but that could be caused by many things, like inaccurate readings.
Like i say though, 1 of my 2 note 3s had the same issue. Could well be a faulty wifi/cellular chip.
Ignore the time its been on, the same thing happens during a day of heavy usage when in standby, same level of drain constantly.
1%+ may not seem that much to a lot of people, but with my usage i should get through 2 days regardless. It should be less than half of what it is. From the curent reporting in the battery stats, im losing almost 50% of my battery in standby over a day and a half or so.

Is location / sync off? Those a major battery drain during standby.

The only things enabled for sync right now are the basic google apps such as chrome, calendar etc. They rarely sync though, and no other phone I've used in the last 2 years has had an issue with them.
Samsung sync constantly returns errors so I leave that off.
Last thing I'll be trying tonight is a full wipe without disabling any built in apps. Its doubtful, but maybe one of the core shamsung apps are trying to communicate with a disabled app or something. I really don't know.

Any update?
My n910c is terrible too. 15% battery loss in 3 hours of standby alone! Wtf! Tried every battery saving trick' no location on etc...
i would suggest u do few thing while u get on bed next time,
Full charge your phone and unplug before you on bed,
1. Restart the phone while on charging,after restart go to home screen and lock the screen and unplug then go to sleep,check it at the next morning u wake.
2.Left the phone with your daily apps running,full charge and unplug then go to sleep,check it at the next morning too when u wake.
this is how i solve those apps running not right.
like the screenshot below,
An apps running at night drained 30% battery within 6hours & 30mins & without switch on the screen or touch anything since i'm asleep *with wifi on*
2nd screen shot shown that cm browser running and consume 94% of processing among 30% battery
while cpu only running 20mins since i had weather & sync on during night.
After that i report to cm team and they send me latest version,
after re-install my phone just back to normal.
now my N910c note 4 is consuming 1% every 1.5hours standby with wifi/3g connected *my area 4g only 1~2 bar so i changed to 3G*
average daily usage were 4.5~5.5 hours screen on time with social apps,browsing infomation,checking e-mail every 1or2 hours,reading news with flipboard,news app,drawing something,watch some youtube video & with auto brightness but indoor most of the time.
hope this would help you

I did a full wipe, installed ANK5 update, unplugged at 10pm at 100%, woke up at 7am with 97%. This is what it should ALWAYS be.
However, after the 2nd charge after the full wipe, it's back to what it was, if not worse. Last night I unplugged at 11pm, woke up at 7am with 92% left. That's bang on 1% an hour again.
There is nothing keeping the device awake at all. It's very frustrating.
I can only assume Cell Standby is so high due to the fact that the phone isn't actually doing anything while the screen is off. After a 20hr day with only 1 hour SoT it's sitting at 72% battery left, with cell standby at 31%, just above Device Idle at 29%. It's a mystery to say the least.

Thanks for your post. I'll definitely try restarting etc again beforehand. I'm also considering another wipe, as S-Voice being disabled seems to cause quite a few errors in the camera app. The battery drain increased after I opened the camera app too, even after force closing etc. That could just be coincidence though.
1% every 1.5 hours still seems like a lot to me, but it seems like you have a lot more apps and things running, so it's actually very good!
Very tempted to just root the thing now and throw on a debloated OS and custom kernel.
Last night i go sleep with 10% of battery left, ( im not force closing any application at all - just exit ) when i wake up ( about 7 hours of sleeping ) phone was showing 8%
No data/wifi/gps etc. If you are not using mobile internet, switch to GSM! It takes more than 30% less battery power than 3G
I'm thinking this is a hardware fault of some sort. Maybe battery, I'm gonna replace and see cause tried from full charge placing it in airplane mode to see if signal was causing the problem, didn't touch it, screen off whole time for 2 hours. Upon looking at it I saw I'd lost 7% battery! Omg! In airplane mode?! In 2 hours?! In standby?!!
In normal use there are no Rouge apps or strange readings in battery stats at all. May be hardware fault.
I've had the N910K exynos, 6 hours plus sot battery life
I've had the N910F snapdragon, 6 hours plus sot battery life
This n910c give me 3 hours sot. I'm pissed lol. Right off!!
Thats really weird, it can be issue of the battery. My 910C has about 8/9 hours of SOT ( wifi only ).

Your mobile signal is very poor. I believe you have full bars but your screenshot ... well it shows us that your reception is poor. It may be one of the causes for your fast drain...

My SoT is fine if im only using it during 1 day. Its usually close to 6 hours. But its not heavy usage, just browsing mainly.
Let me know how the battery change goes. Im likely going to order a spare anyway for when im away from home, so will also report back.

So mobile data completely disabled? Not that it should matter much if youre on wifi all the time.

At work its pretty poor, usually a bar or two on lte, but no other phone ive had has displayed battery drain like this in standby.
That still doesnt explain why it drains 1%/hr with nothing happening at home though with 4 bar lte and full wifi signal.
Ive also noticed voice calls are taking up significant battery. A 3min call used more battery than 20 mons of screen time at half brightness apparently, unless thats normal.
If its normal, then to me the cause seems to be battery related. If not, then faulty cellular chip.
Also heres some more screenshots.
This is over the course of the day with barely any usage.
The chunks where its awake, that's just when I'm playing music, not a rogue app.
Note the big standby drop at the start, then the standby drop later, both completely different amounts of drainage, yet both when doing nothing.
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 LG V30'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!
I've noticed that the standby uses up quite a bit of battery compared to others i've used. Its right up there with my SOT percentage wise. Still has plenty of battery left though so not a huge concern. I also have the Always on Display turned off to help it along as well.
I noticed that standby drain is increasing when you choose 4g mode but the coverage is not good, or when you are on the move it keeps switching between 4g radio and 3g radio and that drains a lot. If you don't need 4g or the coverage is hit and miss you can just switch to 3g for better battery. I get around 20 mbps with 3g and it is mostly ok.
No drain. Battery life is incredible. If you have drain, I suggest you install Wakelock Detector Lite and find the app responsible.
Disable Volte. Problem solved
LG V30 US998 ( Converted from H931)
HI,
So I converted to US998 from a stock ATT H931 using ChazzMatt process from another thread. The reason I went this way was because I could not use wifi calling on my new carrier, T-Mobile. After a fair amount of difficulty getting LGUP to behave, I now have an incredible phone.
After 48 hours off the charger, I still show 79% battery remaining. Now, I do not make or receive a lot of calls and I am not on the phone all day as I have a regular job. I also don't know if there is a battery calibration issue here. All I can say it lasts way way longer than it did with all of the AT&T bloatware installed.
Gie it a rip. I think you will find the same results.

Battery life is very good on this phone both standby and SOT. But there is a catch. There is a huge problem with doze mode and notifications not comming in time. This actually is a very common problem with all manufacturers. As I have two apps that recieve alarm notifications both from work and home systems, it is crusial for me to get this notifications on time. As it turns out this is mission impossible. I don't know if the problem is in the apps or the os, may be both. So I had to completely disable doze mode from adb with this command - adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
The problem is that it survives till next reboot on non rooted phones but it is still something and solves the problem. But it increases slightly standby drain.

You can exempt any apps your wish from the LG battery optimization. It's in the interface. You don't need ADB.
Go into Settings and search for Power Savings Exclusions.
Tried that first. Not working properly. Sometimes was ok sometimes I was getting notifications when I unlocked the phone.
45 hrs on standby
US998. No drain. The key to this is simple. I have my phone set to turn off Always on display from 10pm to 6am. It's too bright at night and causing the phone to lose battery needlessly for 8 hours.

Why is your phone screen on during those hours unless you're using it?

Hi Friends,
My Dream Uno MI-498, a 3 yr. old set, presently running Marshmallow, is behaving
strangely since last 3-4 months. Due to some unknown reasons, battery is depleting
very fast & sometimes as low as 4-5 hrs till zero level. While checking battery
details, I find that "Mobile standby" is the major culprit & consumes 95% of battery. e.g., at say, 10% battery remaining, Mobile standby usage is around 85%, screen- 1%, voice calls-1% etc . While checking history, I find that system shows Wi-Fi signal is on, but actually, in order to save battery, I never keep Wi-Fi on while not in use. Since my ROM is only 4 gb, I uninstalled majority of apps, disabled un-installable apps like Flipkart etc, switched on battery saver to increase battery life but nothing improved. Strangely, I have found that, if I keep Wi-Fi always on & surf net for some time depletion of battery halts to a great extent & then battery can last for more than 2 days. Earlier, same handset gave me 6-7 days battery strength. I am also having another Android one set from Micromax, which incidentally showed identical problems with battery lasting for 3-4 hrs without any usage. In this case also, battery history indicated that all signals( mobile network, Wi-Fi, Awake, Screen ON) are always ON which is not true excepting mobile network signal. Luckily, keeping Wi-Fi always on & surfing net for some time, mobile standby usage reduced & battery life increased to a great extent (now 3-1/2 day running with 55% battery remaining).
Being a newbie, I am clueless to these strange behaviors of Android 6.0.
I am now requesting my member brothers to give some suggestions/settings(without
rooting) so that battery life of my Spice mobile increases to at least 4-5 days.
My mobile service provider is BSNL(Bharat Sanchar Nigam from India).
Thanks & regards,

Hello,
Since a few weeks, my xiaomi a1 can last only 4 h SOT with a 100% battery.
I tried to switch kernel, to switch different roms (RR, AIM, Pixel Experience) and even to downgrade to Android nougat. Between all version switch I wiped ALL the memory...
I even tried to calibrate battery, by a full discharge and full charge, and by the "root method" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=fr)
I don't have a huge usage of my smartphone, small social networks, music and web browsing. With the same usage I had 8h SOT before.
I don't know what to do... I start to think that my mi a1 has an hardware problem, what do you think ?
A kernel shows its effect after 2-3 cycles . so make sure to stick to a kernel for 2-3 cycles
I had big battery drain on my Stock Mi A1, overnight it was draining 20%. My problem was with WiFi router. Wireless was set to Channel 1, I changed it to Channel 6 and now there is 1-2% overnight drain and I can get 2 days without charging. Check what Channel is set for your WiFi if you're using it, and then set it manually to Channel 6

Can you tell me how to change the channel
I too sometimes get 4 hours of SoT until 30%, other times it does more or less.. so I guess it also depends a lot on how we use our device..

Depends on what router you use. You will need to login to your router, then find wireless settings and there will be Channel option, probably set to Auto, change it manually to channel 6. Find how to do it on Google or YouTube.
Thx to you for your answers.
I tried the customs roms and kernel for at least one week before change...
I know all depends of the usage but here, with the same parameters and usage I went to 8h+ SOT to ~4h, and many wipes and software change have not resolved the issue.
I will try to post you a screenshot nextly
Hi
From the first day of owning my Le Pro3 Elite I am facing severe battery drain when network type is set to anything else than "Only GSM". On 2G standby drain never exceeds 0.4%, when set to "Global" or "LTE/WVDMA/GSM" it is about 2% per hour, which is ridiculously high.
The drain is the same under 20S baseband, flashing the 26S genesys to update baseband made no effect. Complete system reinstall, including baseband did not solve the issue. I am running the latest AICP 13.1.
Is anybody having the same problems?
I have the le pro 3 x727 n i had the same problem what i did was use suspend actions in the aicp settings what it did was turned the data to 2g when the screen was off and it fixed my problem

You should also use programs such as Doze modules in Magisk, Programs that you can download on Playstore such as Servicely and Naptime, which controls unused processes from running in the background. If you are using Pie. You can go into every app and control what runs i the background and what doesn't. You can further control what processes allowed allowed to ru while connecting to WIFI versus Data.
I think none of Magisk modules can help to make 4g standby drain less. For my X722 Im used that standby drain is about 2-2.5 % per hour. I have tried like 10 different roms and it stays the same, including the stock rom. I didnt have such a big drain with Le Max 2 so it's weird. Also I have heard other X722 owners had much less drain (some people even claim that drain is 2-3 % per night on 4g but I dont want to believe it). Maybe that has something to do with specific radio receiver or something which maybe can be different types even on the same phone models. If I want my phone to drain 1-3 % per night, I have to switch to 3g/gsm mode.
I've been using for 1 year Intelli3G module for xposed on my x720 .
You can set these combination : https://lh3.ggpht.com/xSrBFjXUhZ75h7MB5h8ZN3Xq6D1Uc3sutciiBNkU04rPG_BWfnKnZin9YtNYK3Q6wact=w720-h310
phone switches automatically to GSM mode with screen OFF
and to LTE, GSM/WDCMA mode with screen ON.
so you can limit the drain of battery at least a little bit :cyclops:
