Hey guys,
So apparently the cell standby on my 9t + eu stable rom device is also high, like some of other xiaomi device users. Its about the same percentage as the screen usage, which is a bit rediculous to me.
I have tried switching to LTE/WCDMA, but that did not seem to help.
I am trying some other settings such as disabling Smart wifi/Mobile data switching, disable AGPS , disable bluetooth such to see the effect. Since nobody is siue about the real cause, lets just try with everything that is even slightly related to mobile radio.
So if you would like to contribute, please provide the following information:
- Do you have outstanding "cell standby" drain while mobile data is enabled?
- During all this time on battery, on you on wifi?( i.e. not using mobile data theoretically)
- is your bluetooth enabled and connected to something.
- Smart wifi/Mobile data switching enabled?
- Network type? ( in *#*#4636#*#* menu)
- AGPS enabled?
- Your region, Mobile service provider/company, and if the mi 9t is missing any lte band with your provider?
- **** Add any info you think can be useful. ****
Lets crowd source the problem and hopefully we can either solve it, or find the cause to the problem and tell Xiaomi so that they can fix it...
Also posted on miui EU forum for hopefully more input
So for me,
- i have high drain from cell standby during the day.
- Wifi is enabled, which theoretically should require much less cell data transmission.
-bluetooth enabled and connected to mi band 4
- smart wifi switching disabled
- lte/wcdma, and slot 2 disabled
-agps disabled
- Canada, rogers, and missing band 18 and 26, i think
I have big standby cell drain (same as screen) BUT...
I decided to check drains last week, my test consisted to close everything and go to sleep (8 hours stand by)
- WiFi enabled and data off (LTE/WCDMA singal): 2% drain.
- WiFi enabled and data off (LTE/ TDSCA/UMS singal): 4% drain. Airplane mode and WiFi enbaled: 2-1%
So for me I think it's just a visual bug. Not real life usage actually, so I have no problem if the battery states that.
Region Mexico, ATT, GPS disabled always
Hope this helps

I left my phone yesterday before sleep with 23% of battery and I put 3 alarms that was about 3 am i woke up at 9:30am (yeah after the 3 alarms lol) and the battery was at 21% so i would consider tha the phone doesn;t drain that much on stand by

hummm..i though cell standby drain would only occur if mobile data is enabled, no matter the state of wifi. If data is off then the phone is not communicating with the towers then it shouldn't be using much battery.
And your battery stats seem to confirm this.

With other phones this may be acceptable but the 9t has a 4000mha battery lol seems the percentage consumption can be lower

wow you guys have good battery consumption lol
I am also in Toronto (Telus). Got the Mi9t about 1.5 weeks ago. My discharge rate with screen off is also about 1%/hour (measured with AccuBattery). I am running stock on latest global rom. The cell standby drain looks like a misnomer to me or possibly combines multiple services behind the scenes. My overall battery life has been excellent, easily going 1.5 days between charges.
Hi, I have a problem with my Mi9t.
I've noticed that my phone is always active, even at night when I'm not using it. The only app that I've blocked from stopping is blokada, because I've noticed that If i kill it in the Miui task manager it kills it completely and I have to restart it every time. I can't find in the battery settings a particular app that consume so much battery. I've also GPS disabled and my Bluetooth is always active for my miband (but Bluetooth voice in battery usage is not that big...) hi
Any idea?

I will, nonetheless I have this situation even when I'm at the end of my battery life. the "active" voice in the diagram is always active, even when I'm not using my phone
I'm debugging this problem too. it appears to happen only when connected to wifi. i've disabled VoLTE and so far i tried LTE/UMTS (prl); LTE/TD-SCDMA/UMTS and LTE/WCDMA. they appear to be all the same.
the fact the it only happens on WiFi means that there's something wrong with the GSM mode (because radio switches to 2G when connected to wifi). I'll try next "Mobile data always active" in developer options, that will keep WiFi and 4G on all the time. we'll see how it goes.
also it could be only a report bug on the battery stats. i keep getting ~9h SOT with this so.......
9 hour of screen? Do you have a nuclear battery?
Usually I use more 4g than WiFi, WiFi works better only at home. Btw I charged the phone this morning, 100% full, now I'm at 62 after 12 hours, but only with a 1 hour and half of screen time....
I have a push mail for work and some WhatsApp message, but nothing else....

Hi,
I just bought an S3 over the weekend, so far it has been a delight to use and I have a question or two regarding the battery life. I am finding the battery great when I am using the phone, it drops much more slowly than I expected a 4.8" quad-core monster to do It is just the standby time that is concerning me.
Is it normal to have the battery level go down by about 20% overnight? For example, when I went to bed (about midnight) the battery was at 77%, this morning when I woke up at 7am the battery was showing 59% when I dismissed the alarm. That's 3-4% per hour. Running stock, unrooted, XXBLG8.
By comparison with other phones I've used, a HTC One S C2 loses about 2-5% overnight. I do notice that the HTC seems to switch the WiFi off for a good part of the night, though.
Also my phone seems to be suffering the 'cell standby dominates battery usage' issue, but as I understand it that's a bug with how the usage is reported and isn't related to the actual battery life.
You have to flash a cell standby fix or something to make it report the battery life correctly.

You have to use Betterbatterystats and run it and detect what uses your juice.

There next you have to unbloat your phone. Remove or freeze with Titanium backup
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634624
At end your S3 have to use max 2-4 % per night wifi and wcdma switched off on gsm mode.
All of the above suggestions worked to reduce consumption while sleeping for me.
Cell Stand By Fix was the biggest help.
Have you made use of any of the built in power saving options?
Another big help for me was setting the wifi to remain off while the phone was locked. Seemed to save a lot of battery power. Not a setting for everyone, especially if you require receiving emails, or other data related msgs while you sleep. If you can wait until you wake its worth a shot.
Thanks.
I've installed BetterBatteryStats and the Battery Monitor Widget to get a better picture of what's going on. Hopefully it will be just be a rogue app or two that I can just blow away.
Also noticed with WiFi Analyzer that the phone's WiFi reception in my bedroom is quite weak (happens with all the phones I've tried but not the iPad!). That's probably making any problem worse.
Using TB to remove the bloatware needs root so I'll wait a week or two before rooting; I just bought the phone and want to make sure there are no (obvious hardware) defects while running on stock first

That fix DOES NOT reduce battery consumption. If only fixes that in the battery graph standby is reported to take a bigger share (10x bigger) than it actually does but does not affect the "charge left" calculation in any way.

For one, apps like Juice Defender may help a lot: they can disable data network or Wifi and periodically (I typically used to set it to 30min) re-enable it so the apps still get their sync, then disable it again.
Alternatively,making the phone fallback to 2G data network will allow you to realtime-snyc without draining battery. HSPA standby seems not to drain noticeably more than 2G on the i9300, but fast dormancy doesn't work everywhere correctly so your mileage may vary.

It's not normal. I'm on stock rom but rooted and undervolted. Mine only consume 1-2% during sleeping time. It's better to know what causes the drainage. Use betterbatterystats. Then you will found out if it's an app or your carrier. Fast dormancy is enabled in other carrier which leads to better battery consumption during idle.

I've noticed with Wi-Fi on, I always lose 1% or a bit more per hour, just idle. On 3G, it's a bit less than 1% an hour.
I'm running the latest Jelly Bean stock official firmware (DLJ4).
I have good battery while the screen is on (1% every 4-5 minutes while browsing the internet on WiFi), but this idle battery drain is a bit too much...
I have Facebook setup, but not syncing, and I have most of the notifications disabled.
For my Google account, I have Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and Internet set to sync.

Screen was on for 1min and I received a call which I did not pick up.
BetterBatteryStats did not show any kernel wakelocks (although on previous days I did see wlan_rx_wake, l2hsic, and a few others, but none today).
I have seen all over the forums that some people are getting a 24 hours of battery life with 5 hours of screen on time, with Wi-Fi on all day. The best I can get with a whole day is 3-4 hours of screen on (brightness at 40% or lower).

Looks normal, Gmail woke up to check mail 20X over the cell network while it was sleeping?
Was the phone in a good signal location?
Reason I use Wi-Fi when possible at home. CDMA is 20% signal here, GSM 90%. Perhaps your in the same situation. It is idle in GSM mode, wakes up to check mail notices it can go faster and wastes power renegotiating a faster connection?
That could easily waste power...
If so set to GSM mode, with Wi-Fi on (if screen is on) and turn cell data off.
If your signal is good, you can forget about using only GSM and just do the rest.
Not sure what else it could be, feels like cell signal IMHO. It looks high in the usage chart too, unless you made a few calls..

I lose about 20 - 25 percent per night when Wi-Fi is on. When Wi-Fi is off almost no battery loss... See the attachment for a log. I'm wondering what's wrong... So I would say that the TS is lucky to be losing only a few percent per night!
Battery drainage looks normal to me. Your wifi was also on for almost the entire time. You could use an app like Juice Defender or Tasker to schedule times to turn on wifi for syncing. That could help decrease time wifi would be on, thus saving some battery life.

It's not normal at all. I've seen others with better idle time than me, leaving Wi-Fi on the whole time. Also, my phone drains less battery while on 3G. That makes no sense.
And apps like Juice Defender shouldn't be required. It cripples the phone of a feature: background data. I use Google Voice to text and prefer my messages to come instantly instead of every 15 minutes.

I was on Wi-Fi the whole time, so it wasn't using the cell network (3G).
As you can see from the battery graph screenshot, I was mostly in a good location. The phone was in one spot on my table the whole time, where it switches between 3 and 4 bars every now and then. I didn't make any calls but I did receive one (didn't answer it) right before I took the screenshots.

I have never heard of ads running in the background... and I had all apps closed so nothing was running to drain the battery.
I've done factory resets several times, so I suppose it's either the kernel or an app doing this... but the apps I use are very common apps and I don't sync much :L
Avast shall halt anything misbehaving, maybe worth a try? Only other thing worth trying before a factory reset is installing Watchdog task manager.
Set it up so it monitors system level tasks!
Something might only be awake for a few seconds in battery stats, but it might be running at 100% system load.
Watchdog shall catch it!

My phone always drop like about 25% when I sleep with Wifi on too. Wifi seems to eat up the battery a lot recently.... I9300XXDLJ4 with Siyah 1.7rc1....
I'm the same with WiFi on and seems plenty of others are too. If I charge phone to full and then disconnect charger, with WiFi on I get a drain of 4.3%per hour, with WiFi off its around 1%. I am now leaving WiFi on all the time but changing the option to always leave WiFi on when sleeping to never and it's middle ground. There are far to many people moaning about this to be a coincidence. I am on stock latest jb and performed full wipe and reset and no difference. Ics had better standby time with WiFi on, fact!

Oh that is reasonable. This phone can last that long nonstop or close to nonstop as you did.
But my problem is idle time

Same here yesterday I tested with full charge and with nonstop usage I was able to get 6hrs 8min with 21% percent battery left, however my battery drains quickly in standby mode. In 6 to 7hrs I loose about 20% to 34% when sleeping.
I have more drainage issue....

I see you're not on Wi-Fi a lot; are you on 3G or 4G?
4-5h screen on time with 3G/4G is the best you can get in a typical day.
I have i9205 for 1.5 week. I rooted it after a few hours I have it. I was in rooted + official rom for a week. Then I flashed Cassies XtraLiteROM to it a few days ago. XtraLiteROM is based on official stripped down to minimum plus some tweaks.
My observation of battery drop during the night (wifi/3g/gps/bluetooth all off) is indistinguishable between the official rom and XtraLiteROM. About 10%-12% drop during the 8-hour sleep.
I greenified facebook app and a few others that I think works in the background. I tried to invoke Wakelock detector, hoping to find something. It appeared normal and said 8-hour deep sleep. The battery level falls continuously and smoothly during the sleep with hardly any wakeup.
Is it common with 4.2.2? I have another LG L9 rooted with 4.1.2. The drop during the night is 1%-2%.
I left my mega all stock. No root or any modifications and when i go to bed i put it in flightmode and it loses about 1% or 2% in those 8 hours just like your LG

I'm also having the same battery drain problems since the first day I bought Mega 6.3. I have tried different ROM versions UAMEA,ED,F2,G3 and now the latest G4 but still having the same problem. Today I lost 3% in a matter of 1.5hours without even doing anything on my phone within those times. Flightmode technique you mentioned seems to be good but the problem is we may not be able to receive emergency or urgent calls/text while asleep. I was hoping samsung would address this drain bug.

But the problem seems to be present even if you don't install anything else than what is supplied !!
I don't understand what's going on with the battery:
one day you put the phone in arplane mode and for 10 hours you eat 1% of the battery :good:
The next day without changing anything you eat 10% in the same conditions WTF !!
As far I can see it seems that there is a problem with the release 4.2 (problem also for the Galaxy S4).!!
In another forum i participate, some people had similar issues, they had been harrowed down to some programs they were running. some people had Mega synchronise their photos every time they connected to the internet others had some other crap going on. if it was a firmware issue, everyone would have it. i, for example don't have this problem. you can try to use Disable service program to see which services are active in the background and are eating your battery and stop them carefully.

For example phone in airplane mode everything off (air view, NFC, GPS, synch off etc):
From yesterday 23.00 till morning 09.00 lost 11%
From 09.00 till 14:00 lost 4%
From 14.00 till now (23.00) lost 3%
Without touching the phone !!
Don't tell me me there is not something strange !!

You've got me all wrong. I'm talking about installing stock ROM (latest version) without any modification i.e. root, cwm, etc and no other apps
installed except samsung built-in apps but still battery drains like hell overnight with almost everything turned-off (wifi, bluetooth, gps, rotation sensor, etc.). So your question is a little bit off topic.

No, not really, because the stock rom is full of bloatware from samsung. I've read reports from other people saying that their camera software or galery or something else, don't remember exactly was uploading their photos to their cloud storage whenever they connected to internet. A lot of stuff can be happening in the background in the stock samsung rom because it's got a lot of stuff in it + the default settings alow synch/backup/downloading updates. Install the light custom rom from this forum, that has everything removed and see how it behaves, alternatively you can use other programs (mentioned one above) to see what's active in the memory of your device and find what's eating your battery.

Ok thanks. I will try silentlight tonight. By the way, I received updates of samsung link from playstore these past few hours and among the reason
for update was the battery drain. Also, I'm using an official S View flip cover from samsung. I was wondering whether there is some sort of sensor activated by this flipcase that keeps my mega from deepsleep.

Have a look here, one more idea for you - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44428107#post44428107
My battery drain problem appears to be related to "cell standby".
If I charge the phone to battery full, unplug, reboot, screen off, data off and leave it to stand by for a night. "Cell standby" alone takes up most battery usage and battery level drops by ~10%. I can constantly repeat that. I think more users are having a problem with radio.
Reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335242
I am trying to disable fast dormancy to see if that helps slow down cell standby drain.
I have to come back @ my comment on the previous page, since today my phone went battery hungry too at night. left it in flight mode during the night as usual but instead of losing 1 or 2% it consumed 12%.
Very strange since the phone should be absolutly doing nothing at all when its locked and in flight mode.
It's not really a problem since im a fairly moderate to light user so i can do 2 days on 1 charge but still.
I also have a strange wake-up problem now, after using the phone a bit and when i press power to lock it, sometimes the screen lights up again after about 5 seconds and goes off again.
I feel worse than it actually is when I feel like robbed 10% of power everyday for no reason. Maybe I was too picky. I have not given up on this. Will continue to look for a solution.
same **** here, today is even worst, 8 hours of phone not doing anything. deep sleeping is at 92% according to BBS, and my battery dropped from 75% to 61%, wonder wat is happening with my phone. damn!
Try this
Sorry. Very bad know English. Solved the problem of the so-

Hello,
So i bought the G2 mini last week and i am a bit disappointed by the battery life. i can't go more than 4-5 hours of screen on time.
The problem ist that "Android OS" and "Android system" are each draining about 19-20% of the battery. Even after a factory recet it is the same.
On the phones i had before these two were about 10 % TOGETHER.
So does anyone know if it's normal?
Thanks in advance
I have same problem.
Did you tried to look what apps is draining your battery ?
It happens without any apps on the phone. Just after reset. So either it is normal or it is a bug on the phone. But i think it is getting better know. I can get average of 6 hours screen on now. But still not normal i think
I have a similar problem. Bought my G2 mini three weeks ago. Seemed good battery life to begin with. Now, intermittently, it's draining up to 2% an hour in idle (just syncing a not-much-used email account over wifi). It's Android OS which is using up the battery, not apps, according to Android's battery information. And it even did this a bit when I tried in safe mode. But sometimes it works great, with very low battery drain. I did a factory reset last night, and the battery drain has been only 3% in five hours. But I'm not sure I trust that it will stay this way. I have a week to decide whether to return it!
(This is the second problem I've had with the phone. Until a few days ago, it would be using 10-20Mb of data a day, which is a big deal when you have a 500Mb contract. Again, it was Android OS that was using up the vast bulk of this data, not me. This behaviour seems to have calmed down a bit in the last few days.)

If it is 4.4.2, then that could be the reason!
Google Built a Bug into 4.4.2!
Hmmmm. let's see on GSMArena. [LINK]
Oh, no! How Horrible!
---------- Post added at 15:32 ---------- Previous post was at 15:31 ----------
The Bug is: AndroidOS-Process eats up your battery.
Mine is 4.4.2.
What's the bug? I haven't been able to find anything about it. And I can't see anything on the GSM Arena page you linked to. Is it a general bug in 4.4.2, or specific to the G2 mini?
Thanks!

Battery drain is not for 3g or 4g power consumition. If 2400 mah die with 3g in three hours, what about moto g or other phones...
The problem is fast dormancy. I desactivate it. If you want i can make a tutorial.
With 100% 3g and fast dormancy battery last 12 hours with 1h 30 screen.
With 100% 3g without fast dormancy battery last 48 hs with 4h screen.
Oh rats, this is the 4.4.2 camera bug, isn't it? Only for Qualcomm devices? I did actually know about that bug, and then forgot about it again, and then bought a device with 4.4.2 and a Qualcomm processor. Dammit.
If so workarounds might be: when you use the camera, pay attention to the battery drain afterwards, in case it has activated the bug. If there's a drain, reboot. Turn off the "Smart screen" and "Smart video" settings, since having them on would also activate the camera, which could also trigger the bug. I had those "Smart" settings on until yesterday, so maybe that's what was causing the problem for me.
And in the meantime, cross fingers that LG will upgrade us to 4.4.3 or, preferably, Android L, thereby squashing the bug.

LG had patched that........
3G/4G is very much the reason of all battery drain on my device, today I've gotten alright battery stats with no data connection except for WiFi, haven't deactivated anything but data and used my phone for a lot of youtube/browsing/ chatting. So I believe if you cannot go above 5 hours of onscreen, it's properly due to high usage of camera, or data and WiFi running when not in use

I never had that issue after using camera. You need to check if the process is starting on setting/battery. (That will not start because LG has patched that at least on my country, because I never have that)
I don't know what's going on. Today I didn't use the camera, and the battery seemed fine, and then I took a photo, and it started draining at 1-2% per hour again, so that made me think I'd found the problem. But then I hear it's patched, and anyway if it's the classic 4.4.2 camera bug, it should show up as mm-qcamera_daemon being the process using all the battery, and it doesn't, it showing Android OS doing so. I feel like I'm back at square one, not knowing what the problem is or how to workaround it, and thinking I have to send my new phone back...

Your problem is fast dormancy for sure. I told you that a few post back..
LG comes with fast dormancy activated by default for all operators and some of them dont have fast dormancy so make a fast 3G battery drain. If you drain 2% of battery in a hour with wi fi you can install battery stats and see what app is eating your battery.
I get intermittent battery drain with either 3G or wifi.
But if you could tell me how to change the fast dormancy settings, I could give it a try.
Also, not convinced that it's an app draining battery on wifi. According to Android, it's Android OS, not an app. Or is the Android battery information so not reliable? In that case, can you recommend a battery monitor app?
Thanks.

When Android operating system is draining your battery, is an app on the backgrpuns. You can use better battery stats. Just search in google and will apear.
If Android OS is draining, its common i also have 10% of drain because of that. But it dont drain too much so you dont have to worry. My xperia m2 says android os 60% when idle, but battery drains normal so just dont worry. If you feel a big battery drain use your phine to 100% to 10% and give a sctrenshot of battery graph.
Press thanks button, you are welcome.
Ok, as many users are reporting the brand new moto z and the variants, like droid, force and play are having extremely WiFi battery drain, sometimes number one or number two on the Battery stats; in my case it was number one or two, somedays even higher consumption than the STO.
This is what worked for me, my phone is the Moto Z XT1650-03:
Go to settings/backup and restore/Reset Network config and apply it. This will erase all your WiFi networks.
Restart your phone to apply changes.
After the rebooot you can set the WiFi again or leave till the end. So, here are the final steps to avoid battery drain.
Go to Settings/WiFi and touch the three dots (upper right corner)
Select "advanced settings"
Open Wi-Fi on during sleep and select "Never"
Open Wi-Fi frecuency and select "2.4GHz Only"
Exit Wi-Fi settings and return to the main screen of "Settings"
Go to Settings/Location
Open Location Mode and select "Device Only"
Touch the three dots upper right corner and enter, there is only one option.
Disable both options "Wi-Fi and bluetooth search".
After serveral tries this is what worked for me, even you can use "Smart lock" and all the apps that use location services, like maps, are working perfectly and in my battery stats the Wi-Fi disappear at all, not even the last.
Please, comment your battery stats and possible solutions.

A little more than 24h after following the procedure I'll have to say that did the trick:
The Wi-Fi wasn't turned off, but by the chart above, as soon as the phone went into deep sleep mode, the wifi was shut down (as expected when doze mode kicks in). The phone was fully charged 6am today and it's battery has been holding pretty well. It's almost the end of the day and it still got 89% of juice left, with over an hour of SOT and with 3 days battery readings, something I've never seen since I first turned on this phone. (it is in airplane mode not to save battery, but because my room has pretty bad reception, and as long as I practically receive NO phonecalls, there's no point keeping the reception on, it will only drain more battery over nothing)
I've seen a link around here in the forum explaining this wifi battery drainage is a Marshmallow algorithm error, since it's impossible the Wifi alone consumes more battery than the Screen, something considered impossible by the article. Here's the link: http://androiding.how/how-to-fix-wifi-battery-drain-on-marshmallow/
I don't know if this procedes, but my battery readings improved susbtantially since I followed your tips =)
Thanks a lot once again mate! :highfive:

I read the same, is a bug at the algorithm of MM, but, I felt that the WiFi was draining a lot more battery than supposed to do. Since I did this my battery was really improved and the WiFi is not more and issue. Glad it helped you my friend. Regards!

Two screen shots attached. Only 28 minutes SoT since removing from the charger 12ish hours ago.
I'm not sure if it worked or not. As you can see, despite my wifi being disabled the entire day, the wifi was active 100% of the time. HOWEVER wifi power usage doesn't even register on my battery usage screen. My biggest power hog is poor cell reception due to the concrete bunker I work in. My battery usage is much better than last week, and I'll easily get 2 days out of this charge.
Did it work for me? Maybe?
You seem to have a lot of wake locks. That probably doesn't help your battery along with the very poor signal.

I don't know why your Wi-Fi doesn't turn off. As you can see mine goes off sometimes. But as I can see it worked for you despite the poor signal (mine is poor too) and I get almost 4 SOT everyday. You can check with wakelock detector what is wakening your phone so bad, you don't need root anymore to use it.

Ok, as many users are reporting the brand new moto z and the variants, like droid, force and play are having extremely WiFi battery drain, sometimes number one or number two on the Battery stats; in my case it was number one or two, somedays even higher consumption than the STO.
This is what worked for me, my phone is the Moto Z XT1650-03:
Go to settings/backup and restore/Reset Network config and apply it. This will erase all your WiFi networks.
Restart your phone to apply changes.
After the rebooot you can set the WiFi again or leave till the end. So, here are the final steps to avoid battery drain.
Go to Settings/WiFi and touch the three dots (upper right corner)
Select "advanced settings"
Open Wi-Fi on during sleep and select "Never"
Open Wi-Fi frecuency and select "2.4GHz Only"
Exit Wi-Fi settings and return to the main screen of "Settings"
Go to Settings/Location
Open Location Mode and select "Device Only"
Touch the three dots upper right corner and enter, there is only one option.
Disable both options "Wi-Fi and bluetooth search".
After serveral tries this is what worked for me, even you can use "Smart lock" and all the apps that use location services, like maps, are working perfectly and in my battery stats the Wi-Fi disappear at all, not even the last.
Please, comment your battery stats and possible solutions.
PS. You will notice the difference after a full charge.

Will try this for sure. I had tried something similar but turning the Wi-Fi on during sleep to "Never" resulted in me not getting any notifications (whatsapp, emails, etc) during sleep (cellular data is turned off). Do you guys still get notifications when the phone is in sleep?

I did all that but is still not working
My wifi, Bluetooth and hotspot are disabled
Battery drains faster
I'm kind of bored with the phone
Any update to fix that...?
Does this fix work with Nougat? I don't seem to find the WiFi frequency option anymore.
I am only noticing battery drain when the WiFi is ON (even if I set it to never be ON when in sleep mode).
I also noticed the CPU only stays in deep sleep for 50% of the time, and 50% is running at 652MHz.
As soon as I turn WiFi off manually, CPU stays in deep sleep when screen off.
Thanks! This is a great one!
