I've just switched to the Z5C from Moto X 2013 and I'm still experiencing high cell standby battery usage. I had the same problem on my Moto X after upgrading to 5.1.1.
Interestingly, though, last month I went to Japan (with my Moto X) and cell standby didn't appear in battery usage at all while I was there, and made a huge difference to battery life.
So I'm wondering if it's somewhat dependent on your carrier. I'm with 3 in the UK.
See screenshot. SoT was 1hr 20 minutes.

Hopefully this problem will disappear on Android M.
Even if you restart ur phone?

Yes I've tried restarting, disabling a bunch of stuff. Nothing seems to make a difference.
Yes, I'm on T-Mobile in the USA, and my cell radio eats tons of my battery. I came from a Galaxy S4 and Droid Razr HD expecting better battery life, and the Z5C is one of the worst devices I've owned in terms of battery life. Used 2% in literally a minute earlier today with screen @ 10%, Wifi/Location/Bluetooth off and running like one app (Instagram). I typically burn through 40-50% of my battery with one hour of screen on time per day. There was one day when it had great battery life, but that's it. Hoping the new firmware fixes it.
I'm having low LTE signal with the Z5 Compact, but surprisingly the battery life (and internet quality) seems to be not affected by this.
I think I had a little more signal strength with my old Nexus 5, but that phone used to spend much more battery at low signal.
I still need to test this with HSDPA signal. But at least with LTE I don't have battery drains. (I mean my battery stats are "red/orange" because of the bad signal, but still have excellent battery life).
Now If I enter to a bar or a place with 0% signal, the battery drains pretty fast, but that is normal in all cellphones.

To be honest i was expecting a slightly longer battery life. Judging from what people write around here their battery life is considerably longer than mine.
I was looking at battery drain chart and was wondering if there is an app or another way i can check what contributes to my phone being 'Awake' as from what i see in the chart it's awake alot. Maybe a bit too much.

Upload a pic of your percentages, that'd help a lot with seeing what your problem is and therefore how to fix it.
Oh god, stop making new threads about the battery life. Your battery life is completely normal. Theres a thread JUST like this posted like 30 mins ago, I'll take my reply off it;

Becuase your phone was in use for a lot of that time.
Normally I get 7-10 hours battery life with my semi-heavy usage.
But yesterday I tested to see if I could get more, I only used the phone for four 5 minute phone calls, tonnes of texts, a little bit of web browsing and a little bit of youtube on 3G and wifi. No games or anything, and the battery still had 40% left after 20 1/2 hours.
But with my normal usage as i said, I get 7 - 10 hours.

long story short. Your battery life is COMPLETELY normal.
hey guys, I have both the Flyer 3g, and the EVO View TAB. And i noticed the battery life on my Flyer sucks. it will not last half as much as the view. I think the View has a 4000mah battery, does anyone know if its the same for the Flyer 3G?
if not does anyone know if i can maybe buy a replacement battery for my view and solder it on my Flyer(assuming its soldered on)?
I haven't really had a problem with battery life... 8+ hours of work use (you know, youtube, note taking, checking email every 5 minutes...)
I don't know if anyone would bother creating an extended battery for this, since the battery is not removable... not saying it's impossible, but I haven't found anything...

I wish i had 8plus hours. I wonder if its the phone calling thats been draining my battery.
Well ... i use battery monitor all the time. What I found out is that with 3g disabled notetaking plus audio recording consumes an average of 600 mah. With 3g enabled it jumps up to 850. With 3g enabled i get 4h 30m display enabled. Without 3g but still using wifi i get 6 hours of display enabled
Think about getting a battery pack like the treckstor dual port. It can charge the flyer up to 80% battery life.

Hey Guys,
I am looking for some help. My phone seems to be losing charge at a rate of about 5% an hour when I am at work, tried with 2 different ROMs (NEAT and Wanam stock+rooted) so far and 2 different Modems (LPS and LPG) and it is the same with both. At home, it loses around 1-2% an hour which is much better. The difference I think is the signal level, at home it averages around -85dBm (3G) and an average of around -105dBm (3G) at work which I think causes it to switch between 2G and 3G often and that could be the reason for the battery drain.
Aside from switching my phone to "GSM Only", do you guys have any other suggestions to improve the signal/battery life?
The main culprit on the battery usage screen is Android OS:

Try the Ressurection Remix 2 ROM hear its the best for battery saving. Its on ICS
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy GT-S5660 running Beats with HTC Sense 5 ROM using xda app-developers app
Thank you for the suggestion but I would rather not change to an AOKP/AOSP Rom just yet as I only bought the phone 2 weeks ago and want to give the Stock ROM a go.
I have set my Network Mode to GSM only today and so far my battery has dropped 20% in 4 hours :/
It does not look to be ROM or Radio dependent so far as I have tried 2 different versions of both and still, I have drain.

Get cpu spy from the play store to see if your device is deep sleeping, and better battery stats from xda app section to find out what wake locks you have

I used CpuSpy and my phone is going into deep sleep. I've just got BetterBatteryStats so will monitor it and see, thanks!
Hello,
i recently upgraded my Nexus 9 to Android 6.0 (Marshmallow MRA58K) with the factory image. So the tablet was completly wiped. The system is completly stock, no root.
After that i'm experiencing very poor battery life (see attached screenshot). Basically, i unplugged the tablet this morning (at 100% battery) and it was lying around in the living room all the day, doing nothing and this evening the battery was down to 63%. Battery optimization is turned on.

I don't even know what the process "99113" is doing.
Any suggestions?

If there are only 3 things each using 1 % of the battery life then its sounds like the battery reader isn't properly calibrated. Let it run till it shuts off then plug it in and let it charge back up. If if that solves it. I am rooted but have no real changes that would effect power and I get 3-4 days on my 6.0 install.
As above post. If anything, I am getting better battery life with Marshmallow.

I'm getting better battery as well.....it does take a while for it to calibrate itself after the update.
Here is a screen cap of my battery life:

Okay, after "calibrating" it seems to be better.
But, what i noticed, there seems to be a massive battery drain when connected to a 5 GHz WLAN. Anybody seeing the same thing?

My battery life has been severely degraded as well after installing the OTA update to Marshmallow. I have not tried calibrating the battery and will try that after my battery drains to 0 and the device turns off.
Its better to charge your device before it runs out...
Factory Reset over Recovery
I had the same symptoms like running out of battery in one day doing nothing.
Problem was solved after a factory reset in recovery (Power+Down)
"Battery Calibration" did not work at all
Hi,
I have an issue for over a year now. I am feeling kind of cursed. I try to explain my situation without too much detail.
I have a Honor 6 smartphone, after a few weeks my battery time got terrible. From 6h SoT (screen-on-time), I am now at ~2.5hrs on average. Since then, I have this battery draining thing on EACH phone.
I thought my phone was corrupt, so I ordered another Honor from Amazon (different model). I set up my Google account and installed WhatsApp. After a few full-charges, I was looking at my battery time: same terrible thing. People were getting ~7hrs SoT, my average was 2-3hrs.
I thought maybe Huawei made some mistakes with the Honor models, so I tried a OnePlus device. Guess what? Same issue.
I switched my network providers a few times. So it's not a SIM card related problem.
Is it possible that my Google account is somewhat "corrupt"? Because that's the only technical thing that's the same on each device.
It sounds like a conspiracy theory, that Google wants me to have bad battery life but I am serious. Could this be possible? I don't want to switch, I use many Google services (contacts, email, drive, etc)
Symptoms of my problem:
Occurs on several devices, sim cards (Austrian network providers A1, HoT, yesss), roms and android versions (from 4.4.2 to 6.0.1)
App usage of Android System is at least ~30% battery
Screen brightness around 30% auto brightness
LTE, GPS/Location, Bluetooth always disabled (I don't use these)
Battery drain while screen off: 3-5% per hour!
SoT around 50% of the values other people have (on the OnePlus I got 3hrs instead of 6, Honor devices 2.5 - 3.5 instead of 5-7)

Does anyone have a clue? I spent too much time with rooting, factory resetting, researching, etc. in the last 14 months - now I have no idea any more.
Thanks in advance!
One more thing: I use GSam Battery Monitor, BatteryBatteryStats, Wakelock Detector - and they can't "help" me.
Is there another tool, which has even more details? I don't think so, but there has to be hope
