Anyone having issues in the Killeen/ Austin, TX area with network. I keep having issues today with dropped calls and text messages not going thru. I get Code 3: Network Problem errors. Anyone else? Thanks in advance. Also my TWS/ Cell Standby percentages have increased drastically. Now my TWS is at
55% and my cell standby is at 16% so my battery is draining fast.

If you are running stock for whatever reason the very recent LG8 update seems to have upped the ante on battery use for standby (my personal battery charge time has decreased as well because of this). As far as network problem I did have that happen once at around 1 or 2pm today, and the phone seemed to lock up on the lock screen for a bit, but then self recovered (with no battery removal / power cycle etc). Other than that I have had no issue in the Dallas, Texas area.

Cell standby uses a lot of battery compared to screen (48% standby, 38% screen)... and my time without signal is 5%
When I'm at home, I usually get between -90dBm and -110dBm on 3G.
Is this pretty low? Would it being this low cause my phone to chew through batteries like candy?
It has to be pretty low since incomming calls usually go to voicemail and outgoing takes 2-3 tried to get it to connect.
Hmm..
Thanks
Time without signal is good. Its only 5%. If the majority of the tome your phone is off than yes cell standby will be the higher percent. If you think something is draining your battery then download spare parts from the market and it will tell you what is using up your battery and if your phone is sleeping g properly

How many bars of service do you get at your house? If you're not getting a very strong signal and you are rooted then give the app Roam Control a shot. It will change your service towers from Sprint's to Verizon's. Also follow Muscleheads suggestion of downloading Spare Parts and checking your wake lock usage.
It varies but usually 2 or less...
Sprint sent me an airave but now they won't activate it since it's "incompatible" with the epic 4g... So I have to send it back to upgrade to an airave 2 (airvana)
give the app Roam Control a shot. It will change your service towers from Sprint's to Verizon's.

It works great and roaming is included in your Epic's unlimited plan, but don't use it unnecessarily and be aware that it provides only 1X data.
I've been thinking about getting a nitro HD for use on Tmobile prepaid so I won't be using LTE. I was wondering if somebody who usually has LTE off could post about the kind of battery life that they experience? Thanks
I go into and out of LTE coverage all the time, so the phone is always searching and switching networks.
If I leave the LTE option on my battery life can drop to 4hrs without even turning the screen on.
Turn it off and it will last a good 10hours of medium use.
Maybe if I was in LTE 24/7 it would be better, but maybe someone else can chime in.
The going in and out of LTE really kills the battery.. 4g is good enough.
Also get the Hyperion 3800mamp battery helps a lot

How do you turn off the LTE? (sorry if this is a stupid question)
Just and observation on LTE and battery life if you are in an area that has been refarmed to get LTE but may not have the strongest signal for it yet.
I get constant LTE signal wherever I go in Baltimore. Download speeds are great. But the signal isn't super strong yet. So my phone does a lot of pinging the towers to stay connected. That is the yellow signal in my battery graph. This causes a decent amount of battery drain while the phone is asleep.
But 3G signal is great. That is the green line in the battery graph. You can see that when I switched to 3g (or HSPA as it really is) the battery drain while idle reduced dramatically.
So if you are in an area like this and you really need the battery to last longer, put it on 3G and it should help a lot. At least until T Mobile increases the LTE coverage, which I am sure they will.
And for when you need the LTE speed, I have an LTE button on my quick settings panel to activate it so I still get the speed when I need it, but not the battery drain when I don't. (Note, I'm using cm10.1 rom. I am not sure if the TW roms have that quick setting button available. But it can be done in settings.)
This option is not for everyone. But if you are not a heavy data user like me it might be great for you.

There are many apps in the Play Store that allow you to do that.

Never thought to have data go to 3g and lower.. I've always used tasker to disable... no off screen email but I go in and manually check it anyways so it works for me. I get 2.5 hours out of 1 percent when my device sleeps.
I have C6502 on stock 5.02 with 10.6.A.0.454.
The thing is that cell stand by is far high of 37 percent of battery usage as attached.
C6502 won't last a full day, in fact it runs half a day only.
The battery draining started since soon after I changed telecom carrier to new one since this Sunday.
New SIM supports 3G data communication as well as LTE, even though C6502 doesn't support LTE.
I can call, send & receive sms, and access to internet via 3G.
The only problem is battery draining of cell stand by.
Does anyone have any advice or solution on it?
Hi anyone in OZ.
I have a Pixel 6 Pro on Telstra, and getting extreme network standby drain, by far the biggest % of total drain we are talking 1/4 to 1/2 the battery usage. Also noticing rubbish network signals and stability. To be fair on the phone my Pixel 4XL had signal issues on the train from Brisbane CBD to South side suburbs.
Anyone else on Telstra experiencing the same?
Anyone with other networks experencing the same, especially with 5G?
Trying to determine if my phone is a dud.
Interestingly my old Pixel 4XL doing the same as it was previously only on WIFI no mobile now lasts at least 2-3 days on the battery charge. Prior to sim being removed was lucky to last a full day.
No issues here matey. All good. I am with Vodafone 5G
Happy with my battery on optus

Out of interest. If you go into the battery settings then usage choose show System usage right down the bottom was does Mobile network standby say?

Same problem here on Telstra. Battery doesn't last a day.
Mobile standby is 20-25% whenever I look. Even if I'm on WiFi all day.
6 Pro on Telstra. Definitely noticed my 5G connection is nowhere near as good as it was on my previous phone, an Oppo Find X2 Pro.
Unfortunately I also feel bluetooth and wifi are not as good either
I am with Boost and I do see the mobile standby goes up if the phone is on idle. Like overnight, I can see in the two hour intervals that it's at 50%, but my standby drain is around 5% over 8 to 9 hours which is in line with my other phones in the past. This is with wifi on all night.
I would say the usage for the mobile standby is high because it's always connected to a network and that costs energy. I haven't done this but if you put it on airplane mode, the mobile standby should go to zero and probably the device idle or wifi will go up.
I'm with Belong, and I'm also getting a battery drain. 10-11 percent overnight. Mobile network standby is too high.
Not getting signal issues with Telstra, but have had the network standby drain issue... The latest (today) carrier services update on play store 'feels' to have improved it significantly... Though too early to tell if fixed
Those on Telstra is this the 'operator settings version' number you are all on?...
telstra_au-30000000550.47
2021-09-02
For me, yes, same operator version
I have terrible drain simialr to everyone else. Standby drain is horrendous on wifi. Around 50% deep sleep percentage when using the phone regularly. overnight deep sleep is good and drains about 1% an hr. On boost mobile. Today's update fixed jack all
No I am on .48 release date 2021-09-30.
I read a post about a new carrier services release today , which I updated to today straight after it updated the signal jumped up. Battery drain seems to be slightly better, but still garbage. Was hoping the december update would fix some issues, but definately didn't.Think I might take this phone back to Telstra for replacement
I turned off adaptive connectivity in network and internet settings, and mobile data always active in developers options. No drain.
I'm also on Telstra, battery drain at the moment is at 32% for `Mobile Network Standy`, I was in the CBD yesterday and 5G is allowed. In general my current area is not 5G enabled
My Operator Settings version is:

Yeah I had both of these settings enabled as well after reading some others feedback some time back, still extreme battery drain, now about 40%, so the carrier update helps signal strength but seems to make the drain worse.
