Cell Standby drains battery - XPERIA X10 General

Hey guys,
Had my phone fully charged last night, went to bed, and 7 hours later the battery was at 19%. Quick check on what's using the battery revealed Cell Standby was the major power factor, using 60-some% of the battery.
Any one else experiencing this issue? The X10 is rooted, Android 2.3.3 installed.

Too much updating/synching going on maybe
Try increasing the time between sync on you running apps( weather,facebook,email,etc)

How is your phone reception/signal?
Cell standby usage is high for me as well, but that is due to the poor signal at my house.
The poor signal will drain your battery

Signal is good.
The syncing hasn't changed. mostly battery lasts for quite a while. I think it may be caused by the Facebook app.

Install CPUSpy, leave the device for a while and see if there is derp sleep.

I have the same issue. Full re-charge last night. It was in sleep mode for 4 hours and it was at 93%. Checked battery usage, and Google Maps was at 27% - Display 30%.
Seems odd to me since i never opened up GMaps.
Maps has been OK for me. But drained 40% in 5 hours with no use

you guys all stock rom? or oc?
Mine was even better. the first night after the 3.1 upgrade it stayed at 100% for couple of hours...
in fact now even with oc tiamat 1.4.2 kernel, it is 1% / hour if very light use, 10%-15%/hour if watching videos.
Stock here. auto-screen brightness. no task killers. Only change post 3.1, was buying Bang Bang Racing.
Stock haven't changed anything

Just the update

Sorry, mine was wifi xoom. How about yours? 3G model?
after the initial 3.1 upgrade i did feel like my battery was dying fast but I did not have to charge the Xoom From Thursday Night until Sunday Night and I used it all weekend.
With Tiamat installed and SetCPU lowering CPU usage while screen is off, I dont think I'll ever need to charge my xoom again
3g model

Sorry my experience may not speak for 3G users.
My 3G Xoom depletes itself at about 3 times the speed of my ipad...playing angry birds or simply reading rss news feeds. From 100% to 29% in a few hours.
Do you guys have any background updates running? I have the wifi xoom and mine last 2 days with medium usage with background updates on.... just curious...

Nope no updates. So weird because battery lasted forever before the update

Weird... just checked mine, android is at 18%, maps at 27% screen 28%, idle 15%

I had the same problem with the battery running down very quickly. Did a factory reset, reinstalled my apps and everything's back to normal. Good battery life again.

My battery is even better after the update.

Battery Drains QUICKLY!

I got school at around 6 am. By the time I eat lunch it's already at 57%. By the time I get home around 5 and it's already at 17%.
All I do is listen to music (doubletwist/playerpro) and play Cut the Rope, WTF!?
Cell standy by is 46% in batter usage followed by wifi with 11%
any help guys?
What I tend to do is have brightness down to about half. Have you also tried fully charging the phone, taking the battery out and charging back to full? I sometimes find it drops down but regenerates itself.

Brightness is below half,I never go over. WiFi is on but not all the time.
Stock rom 2.3.4 rooted
Do you have data off?
How's your phone signal most of the time? It has been proven that low/bad signal drains battery quicker than good signal.
Sometimes certain buildings/rooms have pretty bad reception making it a huge drain for your phone.

This is a useful piece of information, however is not really practical. Ideally we don't want to be turning off our phones on every charge :/
I myself own 3 batteries, and alternate them (I have a wall charger for the batteries)
what ver are you using if 2.3.4 the battery issue is fix.
I get 3 /4 bars, at school right new and yea some times I get nothing, especial ly during the subway ruse which is an hour

Once I updated my phone to 2.3.3 I noticed that the battery life was sub-par, only lasting 3/5s of the day on a full charge.
I proceeded to root my phone (as I don't have the money to unlock my Big Red Bootloader); after installing SetCPU I took down the clocking meter 1 notch (768MHz) and the phone is stable with not difference in performance (so far). Doing this and removing some unneeded bloatware has increased my battery life 2.5x and I can go almost 3 days on a single charge.

xiEvo is correct and I've read a lot of good stuff regarding battery life with 2.3.4. I can only begin to imagine what kind of battery life I'll have once I get that update.
get juice defender off the market ultimate version is best. this will lookafter everything for you.. juice defender is a must have app for all android devices

I'm 2.3.4.
Honestly I had the best battery life with 2.3.2, IDK why.

Drastic Battery Drain overnight

Hi! My friend's tab is experiencing drastic battery drain overnight. from 60% - 20%. wifi was off, no messenger running. only email push notifications. all running apps were closed.
If you just upgraded to ics, try a hard reset.

Its still using Honeycomb. We have not received the ICS update. are there any apps that can monitor what apps or processes is sucking up the juice? Preferably if it doesn't require root.
Have you tried checking battery usage? There you may see what's using your battery. Otherwise, there might be a hardware problem.

ICS definitely improved my battery life..
I was having terrible standby battery life on HC until I turned on airplane mode. Even without a sim card the radio was killing the battery.
If you don't have a sim card in then this is what causes battery drain. This problem is on all Samsung tablets that i have.

I agree. Same with me as well. Better if you bring it to Samsung service center. :-D

for me 12 hours standby 1% drain
if you're using HC, turn off "background data" under settings

Battery drain with 3g on terrible

Hi guys,
Is anyone else get terrible battery life with 3g and data on even on standby? I believe the phone function drains the battery and it lasts only 2 days or so on standby. I constantly have the tab on flight mode with wifi enabled and battery is much improved to about 1 week standby. Anyone else? I am on stock 4.0.4.
Thanks
Wtf r this guy even serious? I wish i had 1 day standby, what a joke

Hi Iong. We are talking about a tablet here, not a phone. Tablets should have 1 week standby at least. The battery drain with 3g and phone on is unacceptable. I think the reason is the connection to phone signal which is constant.
Mate 1 day pr 2 day standby is a lot, given the fact you install many program and it constantly connect to tinternet to check for updates notifs etx. You dont have 1 week standby whatsover, forget it. Big tablet big baterry big screen. Ot all goes scaling together

So 'l2_hsic' and 'batt_work wake lock' are the 2 processes keeping my table awake for 5 hours in total since yesterday. Any idea of what these do?
Thanks

most likely is that one or more of your apps is causing the problem. try a reset and see if the problem goes away. if it does, install apps one by and and check which one is the problem
Use juice defender ultimate in tablet mode. I can go several days idle time and lose almost no battery.

Nexus 7 battery drain overnight

I purchased a nexus 7 recently,updated to 4.3,locked and unrooted as of yet. I currently have 2 user accounts active on it. Since my first 100% charge, I have been getting tacky battery life. I follow the 100% charge and discharge till 1% method. Overnight with WiFi on and all apps closed,I'm getting a drop from 74% to 57% . Looking in the battery stats doesn't help as it doesn't show any unusual ongoing background activity. I'm also getting around 6 hours Screen on time,I could never exceed this mark. I only have the customary Google apps,Facebook,Twitter, instagram,pulse,and 3 games installed. What can be the reason of this ?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Those apps keep running.. Also some third party apps push ads and also turn screen on, which could drain battery..
For better battery life, you can turn wifi off if not needed,.

I tried with WiFi off one night, I got around 9% drain still. I kept the sync interval at the maximum in every data fetching app I have installed too.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
You might well try the app Better Battery Stats, and see what it believes is keeping your tablet from going into deep sleep. 9% drain overnight is not terribly excessive -- it should be more like 5%, I guess.
My 2012 nexus 7 had 51% before I went to sleep last night and when I woke up this morning it was completely dead. I didn't even get a charge icon when I plugged it in to charge. I had to leave it for an hour then tried again and it fired right up.. Hope I can see what's causing the drain with better battery stats
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I was using mine once in the morning,when the battery hit 4% it suddenly shut down. I tried to charge but the battery icon wouldn't show up. Started it finally using the tips on the Google support site. Must say,I've been plagued with battery issues. I'll try a factory reset and while on it unlock the boot loader too.

I checked with BBS with WiFi off overnight. "PowerManagementService.wake lock" is keeping my N7 awake. Any solutions?
EDIT: I checked in partial wakelocks,AudioOut_2 was the highest at 30m runtime.
