After I used a second SIM card for data in my LG v20 I was shocked with this severe battery drain so any one know a fix for that or is this normal
Note that I use the first SIM for calls only and second one for data
Thanks
I've a single SIM version of V20 (F800L), I have the same problem as you, the battery drain 40% overnight without any use! (wifi, data, BT and GPS all OFF). Yesterday, I inserted a new SIM card from another carrier to my V20 and monitored its power consumption again overnight. I found it hardly consumed any power from 23:00 to next day 11:00. For over 12 hours has only 1 % consumed ! I then asked my current carrier to give me a new SIM replacement. However, as soon as I placed it to my V20, the consumption resumed to 6-7% per hour again. A few day a ago, I tried to set the V20 to Airplane mode and left it overnight and found no power consumed at all. I think the power consumption is most likely related to the voice communication network (as it was the only radio ON during the night for this high power consumption) Does anyone has this experience before and any other setting/remedy/corrective action would be appreciated !
Dear friends.
I must have asked this even before maybe, but please could someone tell me:
On Nougat update (S7 edge), i am getting battery life of 3.5 hours SOT. Is this normal? Or my battery is corrupted?
Brightness on auto
No gps on
No bluetooth on
No nfc etc
WIFI at times (8 hours daily with 3g data also kept on but as you know, only one can be used at one time)
Dual sim on (first sim is 2g and second sim is 3g ONLY) and mobile net is always on. (network keeps fluctuating but never reached 1 bar or so)
Sync is on with 2 email ids and 1 gmail id set for sync every hour.
AOD 6am to 12am.
NO APPS INSTALLED. FORMATTED WITH JUST WHATSAPP & TELEGRAM. AND UPDATED ALL APPS IN PLAYSTORE.
My phone is in warranty, should i replace the battery or is this normal?
After a Firmware update it's recommended to,
Clear System Cache.
If that does not help then back up and Factory Reset.
Also it can take a short while for everything to settle in the phone after an update.
That is pretty poor but give the phone some time to adapt. Perhaps a week.
Either way though, March firmware >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nougat
Hey Guys,
I've gotten my Moto G5 Plus about a week ago and I'm loving it so far. However, I'm having a bit mediocre battery life. I only manage to get about 4 hours of screen on time with very light usage (mainly whatsapp and a bit of reddit). So I went looking for what this might be causing. In the battery stats it's showing a 29% usage for Cell standby, with a 99% time without signal. I'm only using one of the two sim slots currently and I have cellular data turned off. It is also almost always showing full bars for the sim card i'm actually using, the other is turned off in the settings. I'm used to having the screen be the biggest battery drain and cell standby being around 5% on my Moto G2 running with the same simcard. I've already tried reinserting the sim/sd card tray and rebooting a couple times, both of which didn't fix the problem. Do you guys have any idea what's going on?
Thanks!

PS: I can't post the pictures because I'm new on XDA but it shows the cellular network signal being entirely red, the screen at 5% battery usage and cell standby on 29% with the 99% time without signal.
Most reviewers are reporting GREAT battery life with this phone.
Is the phone rooted? Did you run Wakelock dectector?
I assume you have turned the phone off and back on?
Have you verified that your APN settings are correct?
I would open a ticket with support unless you've already put a custom ROM.
The phone is not rooted and yeah I have rebooted it a couple times. I'm going to try running wakelock detector and see what it says. I have however turned on the other sim which seems to make Cell standby use normal ammounts of battery which is strange.

Try wiping cache and still if it doesn't work go for a reset and it should be ok

The same thing happening to me also. My Moto G5 Plus was at 19% at night and at morning I saw as 8% remaining. Before that, It decreased around 22% battery during night. Mobile data, Wifi everything was kept off. When I checked the battery stats today it showed cell standby on 2nd number draining the most battery. What to do for it? If anyone has any solution please let me know.

It seems that on my phone the only thing this is happening is when I turn one of the sim cards off in the settings. I've been running both sims at standby since yesterday and de battery usage is currently at 6% for Cell standby. The time without signal has also decreased to 0%. You might want to try to keep both sims enabled and see if that helps.

Just out of curiosity are you also running a dual sim version of the G5 Plus? And if you are, are you running with both enabled or just having one of them enabled at a time?

I think I found the issue/solution! When you do the dual sim setup and get to choose the data sim, I picked that as my second sim as I don't use data often. However, while having the second sim enabled it seems to always keep looking for a signal. Which it obviously can't find because the sim is disabled. This of course leads to high battery usage. Changing the data sim to the first sim that's actually enabled seems to resolve this issue.
I, too, have issues with cell standby draining battery. For me this seems to be an issue with LTE / 4G.
The problem occurs as soon as I activate LTE/4G on the data sim card. It also happens with only one SIM in the phone. If I switch to 3G only, the drain stops.
So:
- With only 3G enabled and wifi connected, all apps installed, syncing etc. I get a huge standby time of ~13 days.
- If I enable the LTE while being connected to wifi, standby time remains good at first.
- As soon as mobile data is first used (e.g. shortly disable wifi so LTE data is used), huge battery drain occurs (about only a day of standby time) everything else as above.
This happens even if wifi is used afterwards. Once connected / mobile data used (with LTE), battery drain occurs. Toggling enhanced LTE services doesn't make a difference (I had it enabled inititally but also tested with it disabled as my provider doesn't support VoLTE or IMS messaging with this phone). Switching to 3G stops the drain.
This is seems to be a bug in Moto G5 Plus firmware and/or baseband. Note that adb logcat doesn't show anything out of the ordinary.
LTE signal is excellent at my location and none of my other phones have such a drain with LTE using the same SIM card.
When I turned it back on today it started having the same drain again. Even though I didn't change any settings or anything, just rebooting. This definitely seems like a software problem, however when I posted on the motorola/lenovo forum about it they just shook it of as if I have bad signal reception...
Hey all.
I am having this exact same problem on the XT1685 Dual-SIM, 3GB/32GB model, using only one SIM card. Mobile standby always drains the battery - during day and night, regardless of which SIM slot is used, and even when there's no SIM card at all! Mobile network coverage is excellent in my area, and despite that, mobile standby ends up eating 1000mAh (25-30%) per charge.
Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

My UK phone updated to the May security patch recently and the phone loses about 1% every 4 hours overnight now.
How? i still facing this issue... any solution???
Experts, if thread is wrong placed or duplicated, please remove it.
I have the following situation. Bought in US LG G3 phone for a kid. Phone was stated 855 ( I live in Europe). Once I bricked him trying to revert from 5.0 to 4.4 due to huge bateery drain, it was found that actual MB model is 851 TMO.
The current situation is:
1. Phone bootloader unlocked, rooted, installed 7.1.1 Nougat, Lineage OS 14.1-20170108-UNOFFICIAL-d851 flashed with adb.
Modem is: MPSS/DI.2.0.1c1_13-00009-M89***
2. Recently purchased 4G SIM from virtual provider of Partner
3. Kid complaints on following:
- battery drains to 0 in 2 hours ( new brand battery, manufactured 8 months ago)
No applications installed - GApps pico, Chrome, Root Checker and Waze.
APN be default were set to Partner 3G portal.
I changed APN to fit virtual provider settings:
- slow surfing - I took the phone today and it indeed switches all the time between 3G and H. Talked to provider, looks like they sent me wrong SIM ( 3G flashed ).
I also see in battery usage - Mobile Strength signal - a lot of yellow lines inside green.
Network signal is HSDPA @ 7.2 Mbps
I made cross SIM test - took the SIM from a friend ( different provider and tested it with my phone) - H+ all time and Network signal is HSDPA @ 42.2 Mbps
My "blaming finger" is SIM, but Im not sure this is the main issue for battery drain.
So, I expected to get a new SIM from provider and will test it.
Q1: Am I suspicions or it can be SIM issue?
Q2: I need battery good life ROM. I'm new to LG ( mine is A0001), so I'm not sure either stay with original TMO ROM, go to AICP or else ( preferable Nougat, otherwise MM or Lollipop much better)? The most usage is surfing, WhatsApp, etc
Q3: How to set LTE correct settings? the "4636" code gives me only testing mode?
Any help will be appreciated.
Unstable signal drain your battery, just check the battery life without the sim.
I have the battery problem everytime i flash an AOSP; if i have full 100% battery and reboot the phone i got 4%-10% battery and the phone shoutdown cause no battery after a minute.
Btw try to calibrate the battery Apk

Thanks mate, planned to do so. I remember that it was like 1 day standby with 4-5% battery lost only when no SIM was in there. will try again overnight.
Basically you say - go with Stock ROM? I'm a little scare since i can potentially loose ability to surf at all.
Tried wife SIM in there and no stable stable as well, when this SIM works well at her OnePlus. Still the result was better. Possible I have to clean all APN and stuff ( cache, so so so) before letting new SIM in.
or those are both bad SIM + bad ROM...
Hi everyone,
I have an S8 which after the oreo update its battery performance decreased significantly.
its overnight drain was around 30 - 40 % (no use, no AOD).
However I did something that fixed it and i hope it is the same issue with everyone else so that yo can fix it too.
It's the DUAL SIM
I disabled the dual sim from the sim card manager & now my phone is only working wth one sim. There is a HUGE increase battery performance where now the overnight drain is 3% !!!!.
I hope this helps everyone with the same problem.

I am not sure what is your problem. I'd also note that this only improved the standby time. However the usage time is still bad. For example yesterday I spent an hour chatting on whatsapp & it drained more than 20%. I'm not sure why samsung isn't doing anything about it & I'm thinking of downgrading to Nougat

I cannot. Maybe because i did not have 2nd sim insert.
I found a recent reduced battery life on my S8 was resolved with a factory reset.
Anecdotally, a cache partition wipe can help too, though that might just be because (i believe) it forces apps to re-optimise themselves.
Btw, if you had 2 SIMs in and effectively stopping use of 1 slot has improved battery life, then a) try reseating both SIMs b) get new SIMs. Otherwise, maybe it's the SIM reader itself i.e. a hardware issue (which might be that component or a problem on the mainboard).
I guess it could be a software glitch.
I read that the firmware is different for single and dual SIM handsets - you defo using the correct firmware for your handset?
