Mobile Radio active bug in Lollipop - Xperia Z3 General

I'm getting this bug in every Lollipop Phone I own. And sadly this bug seems to be present in the M Developer preview too.
Usually my day starts with wifi but as soon as I leave the wifi connection and start using 3G the battery starts to drain.
It has gotten so annoying that I switched back to KitKat and my phones are awesome again.
Present for me on Z3 and S4

I noticed this today. Was using WiFi screen was at about 36% use and Android OS at about 6%. Switched to Mobile data, And before 30 minutes, screen was at 28% and Android OS was 30%+
Crazy really! Don't know if a reboot would fix. Back on WiFi tho and it seems normal again.

The above comment was made by me, my friend logged into his xda on my phone and i didn't know, when i knew it was too late.

Basically every app that uses mobile radio keeps the connection active and drains the battery fast.
As seen in the battery tab with "mobile radio active" for hours.
At first I switched to lollipop I thought its just an "feature" but its the bad bug.
Especially for people who doesn't charge their phone for days because of light usage

I take it you are on CM now?

The Z3 is now .77 stock KitKat, the s4 is CM11 M11
Thats what it should look like:

}

so, overall, the power consumption in KK is way better than in L? [assuming similar usage]
cause i bought this phone already on L...

On WiFi it's as good as Kitkat, the problem starts when you have mobile data enabled, from what I hear the issue carried on into the test builds of Android M.
Phonearena even did an article on the issue, and it has the 3rd or 4th most votes on Google 's bug tracker yet it's still labeled as small priority... I hope Sony fixes it by itself somehow.

100% time without signal

Can anyone explain why I have 100% time without signal in cell standby. I used my phone all day sending texts and making calls. Also, the signal bar is constantly yellow on the battery graph. Should this be green?
Cheers

Confirmed. thanks. very random
Thanks confirmed that temporarily fixes the 100% The captivate did this as well when I had it but always showed 50 percent without signal and you could turn on airplane mode and turn it off to fix it. However that method doesn't seem to work for this but the about phone method does

Got my galaxy yesterday and I have this bug too. I was a little scared because on S1 it meant battery drain. When I woke up this morning I had 99% battery after 9 hours since charging. But I was still curious and thats why Im here.
Glad its nothing serious Hope it will go away when I finally choose a custom rom to flash...
EDIT: just noticed the last reply date, well sorry, found this thread through search. (Hey at least I didnt create a new thread asking the same thing!)

[Q] I9505 4.4.2 android system battery usage

Hi,
Ever since I upgraded my I9505 to 4.4.2 I've noticed that one of my key battery consumers was Android System (not so on 4.3 or 4.2.2, or whatever I was running before). Right now I'm on the latest DBT ROM, but still the same issue. I've been reading numerous threads on this, tried lots of things even formatting my SD card from within the phone, but still same story. I have Google location services disabled (major issue before), Google Now hot word detection is off, S Voice voice activation is off - nada. I am running stock so getting a wakelock report is a no go. I get decent time on the phone (up to 18 hours per charge), but still want to figure out why Android System is using so much battery (it seems to be CPU time related anyway - phone is properly entering deep sleep when it should). Below is a screenshot of what my battery graph looks like about 2 hours after unplugging the phone from the charger with normal usage. Thanks for ideas!

Any ideas? In the meantime I've done a factory reset, disabled Samsung's bundled apps (e.g. S Voice), tried disabling location services altogether - still same story nothing seems to help. In OS monitor I see a constant Android system activity between 1-9%. Average is around 2-3% but it never stops.... Sadly with the KitKat permissions being what they are I can't get more details.
Here's a graph from today 3 hours after a full charge with minimal phone usage:
Clearly something is going wrong here...

Hi ,
With this information is hard to tell what is going on , you need an app like Better Battery Stats
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Let it run for 3 to 4 hours at least and then see who is running wild
Review you settings , location , mail , FB......
Thanks. As I am running non-rooted 4.4.2 I can only see kernel wakelocks which look normal to me:

Upgraded to I9505XXUGNK4 (DBT) today and it looks like it helps!

For posterity's sake - the firmware didn't fix the problem. My Android System, and to some extent Android OS, usage was still pretty bad. After hours of trying various things I've got it though - in my case I had to disable Samsung's Unified Daemon (EUR) and now once more my top consumers are Screen and phone idle! Hope this helps folks.

Wont deepsleep with bluetooth on

Hi Folks,
I have been suffering with abysmal battery life for the past couple of weeks since I got my device(910F). So much so that yesterday I rooted the phone just to get betterbatterystats to give me more information on what was draining the battery.
Low and behold it turns out bluetooth is the culprit. I have a moto 360 that I have paired with the phone.
Before I switched bluetooth off i had 2 kernel wakelocks occupying 88% of the time since i took it off charge (bluesleep & msm-serial_hs_dma).
As soon as I switched off bluetooth these wakelocks where immediately released.
Also when checking CPU states prior to disabling bluetooth no time was spent in deepsleep. As soon as I turn off bluetooth I'm now seeing 23% (and growing) of the time spent in deep sleep.
Has anyone else had this issue with their Note? Seems like bluetooth is keeping the phone awake and not letting it enter deep sleep.
some images to help see what im on about!

I have exactly the same issue on my Sony Z3. Take a look to here. You'll feel at home!!
Did you find any solution workaround?
This things is driving me crazy.
It looks to not a very popular issue around XDA. Could it be an app? Hw problem?
My note 4 is on 5.0.1, and this just started yesterday. I always keep my Bluetooth on with great battery life. Today, however, my phone will not enter deep sleep until I turn off Bluetooth.
I cleared the data on the Bluetooth and BluetoothTest processes, and my problem is solved. Now, understand that I've been turning bluetooth off and on constantly as I use my hands-free device for calls and turn bluetooth back off to save battery, so something may started functioning properly along the way without clearing those previously mentioned data and caches. Either way, I leave bluetooth on 100% of the time again, and my battery life is again stellar.

Device switch off at 30-40%.

Since I updated my device to Nougat 7.1 stock rom my phone switch off at 30-40% battery randomly.
I want to ask if replacing battery would solve this problem? Is there any other work around for this specific problem?

Same happened with me 2 days ago. Phone switch off randomly at any percentage below 50%
Sent from my XT1562 using Tapatalk
Same here, the device goes suddenly from 15-20% to 0 and then it shuts off. Could seem like an old battery symptom, but since it happens only on Nougat, it is likely to be software-related.
Can i say that have the same problem if my phone shut down on 7%?? :/ i dont understand why it happen
I have the same problem. To prevent this, I turn on battery power economy when it reaches 40%.
I've had a similar problem, changing the battery has solved it for me

It happened to me in all custom roms, after changing the battery it works fine
Sold my moto x play & bought MI Max 2. Goodbye guys
Hi there, having this exact same issue... any workaround or solution?
thanks in advance
I tried several roms, formatted, flashed stock, etc., didn't solve. Changing battery (it was 2 years old), the only and right solution for the problem.
Actually this happens when the battery gets weak. I have been experiencing the same problem for nearly two months. At first my X PLAY tended to switch off when charge was around 22 percentage and then battery got way too weak. After getting too weak,my X PLAY would switch off randomly at 30 to 40 battery percentage. Actually i have experienced this not only in X PLAY, but also in wide variety of Androids like XPERIA ZR , XPERIA Z2 , MOTO G2 , MOTO G4. So the solution for all these mobiles was to go for a new battery and it was brand as new with a healthy battery life.
Get back to MM problem will get solved. Done the same with my friends moto

Has my battery degraded or its a software issue?

My battery lately has been draining really fast from doing minor tasks. 2-3 months ago I upgraded to the latest MIUI 11.0.4 and noticed a slight increase in drainage but nothing too concerning. For the past few days though, it has become really bad. An example is how today I charged my phone to 100 percent and within 8 hours it is now already down to 75 as I am writing this post.
What I did:
Charged it.
Left it idle for 4 hours
Browsed some Facebook feed for around 15 minutes
Watched YouTube videos for a total of 15-20 minutes
Left idle again for another 2 hours
Just now spent another 20 browsing some Reddit posts
I usually keep my mobile data as well as the WiFi connection turned off all the time and only turn them on when I need to use the phone. I don't have any IM apps running in the background all the time syncing messages except Kik and Snapchat for whom I've set a battery saving modes to close whenever not in use but again, like I said my internet connection is always switched off. I keep my screen brightness low all the time as well btw.
I usually charge it as soon as it goes down to 30-40%
Pretty sure tomorrow after a whole day of work having it sit idle and then doing some minor internet browsing its gonna drop to 30-40.
Here's a screenshot of my battery stats:

Not sure if this is normal as I remember it draining way slower than it does nowadays. I know that this phone is known for having a good battery life. Any suggestions on what I should do? Is there warranty for the battery in case it turns out to be faulty? I've been using this phone for a little over 6 months now.
I have terrible wakelock on 11.0.4.0.
Non rooted and I want to keep it like this.
Is it a common issue and should I go back to MIUI 10?

Hi, bro!
I had this wakelock in all versions (Android 8 or 9) I tried several times to find out which app does this, installing monitors made for it and so far nothing ... But yesterday I reset my RN7 and the wakelock didn't come back. I imagine it is an app that has not yet performed the initial configuration.
switch aosp(no gapps recommended)
i get 12 hours plus sot

Multiple apps. Of course I tried to fix it by deleting a couple of apps such as restricting the background activity in the most of the rest but I only succeeded to reduce the wakelock from 98% to 50%. The bad thing is, that if You do hard reset it's a temporary solution. Wakelock will return in maximum one month. So what is the solution? Returning to Miui 10 or AOSP rom if You want to run latest Android version?
