Cell standby drain

[bikmakk2]

Hi all! First of all here are some screenshots about my battery stats. I'm not sure if these stats are right with SOT 6 hours + but it's kind of interesting that cell stanby is greater than my 5.5 inch screen. Also if anyone could tell me that Cell standby is measured together with wifi? If that's the case then i should not worry anymore, because wifi is on all the time.

First screen shot says it all. Shabby signal = high drain.
Outside of that - 6 hrs screen on over 2 days - what's the problem

And what can I do to make the signal better? I always have almost full or full signal bar, so it's a bit confusing :S

Also please tell me if WiFi is measured under cell standby?

Move closer to a tower - try using 3g

No

No

If not where can I see? I have never seen any WiFi icon in battery stats that show how much it drained my battery

Who cares how much it uses. Is the most efficient use of power for a data connection - just use it and be happy

well I care, because either my wifi or my cellular is draining my battery in an abnormal way, for example today i lost 30% in just 1 hour with 20 minutes SOT just browsing the internet on mobile data a little and using facebook. and i could get 7 hour+ SOT if my cell standby wouldn't be eating 35% of my battery at the end of the day, all my friends have cell standby at 8% average all day, i get 20 - 35% with the same operator, even if i have an excellent signal( full or almost full bar) with -95 dbm.

What others get means nothing - I get 10+ hrs sot, and still have 20+% battery left.
I will say this - facecrap is well known to eat battery, and eat it fast. Try an alternative to the fb app.
Oh - Google wifi scanning - might help.

Please understand, I don't mind helping people with problems, but I don't see a problem with your sot. It's about the same as mine, and I don't consider myself to have a problem - this is actually the best battery life I've seen on a device I've owned in a long time.
If it really bothers you, contact moto/lenovo, whoever takes responsibility for this device and see if they can help.
Most of all - don't worry - be happy!

Are all the bands that your telco uses supported by the g5s?

My screen off time is perfectly fine. The battery will barely deplete when I'm not using the phone.

If you have the time and opportunity then try airplane mode but WIFI enabled. Bad signal will eat your battery, I have the same problem at home. I regularly see 15-20% battery use for Cell Standby but with the modem disabled Cell Standby will disappear completely.

Found the permanent solution, it appears that the SIM 1 slot is faulty, placing the card to slot 2 fixes the radio problem and now I have full green signal bar, no drain

My phone is consuming a huge battery after upgrade to Oreo 8.1, when mobile data is active battery drain fast in a few ours, is not my battery and signal is strength, maybe modem has problem or something else, anyone solve this, I will try different solution and post result

I have no Oreo yet here in Europe, I don't even think I will ever get it. Seems like the receiver is faulty on many Moto phones
