Huge battery life fix.

---

I am using the stock radio. This has been confirmed by others as working also.

Seems as if there is some sort of bug with with Cell standby that causes the phone to lose signal which in turns just kills the battery. To verify that your set has the problem, check the Cell standby info in the Battery Use info. If the Time without a signal is higher than 0% (50% seems to be the norm) than you have a problem.

One solution, at the moment, is to follow these steps:

1. Plug in phone charger or into USB.

2. Put phone in Airplane mode

3. Put phone to sleep for a minute

4. Turn off airplane mode

5. Unplug phone

My Time without a signal is at 0% for over 16 hours now. The battery life is much better and the phone didn't die on me last night while i was sleeping.

I am using the new Radio and mine was @ 58%. I will report back with any change that this makes.

Also testing. Mine was at 32%.

Didn't work for me

I am running the stock radio and after following the instructions cell standby was at 0%. 5 minutes later, I am back up to 46% so I guess it didn't work

Tried it twice with the same result.

Ok, followed your steps. Using the new radio, after 2 min with the phone in standby, I checked again. Shows it sitting at 40%. So I dont know.....

same here...it's back up to 48%

I tried this and after 10 minutes of standby mine has dropped from 56%% down to 30%. What exactly does this fix do and does it have to be done after every reboot?

Well i tried it and thus far it's had no effect my cell standby is back up to 40% was at 50% it's been climbing steadily.

Perhaps someone can correct me but it was my impression that "Cell Standby" was NOT time without a signal but rather cell time spent doing nothing but communicating with the towers. Since the phone is always communicating with the towers then it's going to show a high percentage of battery usage.

I imagine the reason you are seeing less % with Cell Standby is not because your saving battery but rather other applications (I don't think they all show) are using more battery time.

Anyway I don't know this for fact, but it makes a sense to me. Perhaps someone else can comment on this.

You need to press on Cell Standby to see Time without a signal , this is what kills the battery.

Were not talking about cell standby, were talking about time without signal, which is a huge battery drain, and is under the cell standby category.
