Hopefully someone here can advise me on this issue I have been getting with my Nexus 5x and using chrome but issue also happens in youtube. Note I have not setup my phone with a SIM yet, just been testing out the phone features and Android 6.0
When connected to my home networtk chrome and youtube work fine but every now and then the web page loading seems to stall in chrome, and then i watch the wifi signal disconnect and then reconnect and then the web page will load, but before it does i get the error message
dns_probe_finished_no_internet and sometimes its ERR name not resolved or ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED or similar inside chrome.
it seems to recover after about 30secs and then i have full wifi again. it just keeps happening This seems to be random at the moment but is consistent. My home network is pretty solid and all my other devices work fine and do not exhibit this issue, my wifi is solid.
I have done all the usual forget network, wipe system cache and static IP etc. nothing makes a difference. can anyone shed some light what might be causing this?
thanks
Did you manage to solve the problem? I got my phone last week and I am having the exact same problem.
I should mention that I am on stock unrooted and using At&t network. I checked the wifi connection from my older phone lg optimus g and it seems to be fine. It keeps on disconnecting and reconnecting on my 5x though and I think that is draining the battery faster than anything else. My top two battery uses are android system and android os rather than sceeen.
Do you think it is a hardware problem?

Have the same problem with mine after one week's use. Was fine until this morning.
On hold with warranty service now and will be getting a replacement.
Don't wait, use the warranty.

My problem was more global than just while using Chrome. Don't know if that matters....

Any luck getting rid of the problem? I even factory reset my phone but the problem is still there. My problem is also global, not just in chrome. I think that there is a problem with the wifi of the phone. I do not want to root and install a new kernel as of yet. Just want to stay on the stock rom.
What did the warranty service say? Is this a common problem with the 5x? I would rather not RMA if the problem can be solved by some other means. I put on the screen protector so well. Don't want to do it all over again lol.
Also, is Android OS on the top of the list in battery drain? It is for me and I think the wifi connecting and disconnecting prevents the phone from sleeping.

<----------------->
Tried everything, reset network connections and then tried a complete reset and attempted new setup but the wifi was too flaky to complete the setup. Since the problem happened while I was using the phone I was not able to observe the effect on battery life. I would imagine it would take a big hit trying to connect and failing continuously.
Did this before calling Google so I wouldn't have to do this while on the phone. Warranty Service did not mention any ongoing problem with the wifi.
Am setting up the replacement currently. I'll save rooting, etc. until I've used the phone for a good while.
Bite the bullet and send it back. It's not going to heal itself.

Hi guys,
Just updated to 6.0.1 OTA and yes the problem remains and seems even worse now. Can I ask how you go about the warranty? Is there a number to call google directly?

oops sorry I should have said im in the UK, dont worry il find it. Can I ask is your replacement phone working correctly now, no wifi drop outs as before? if so what version of marshmallow are you on?
I've only been using it about 8 hours but no problems so far. The phone updated to 6.0.1 during the initial setup.
You can find the phone # for the UK by using a 'Contact Us' link in the Devices Store on Google Play.
ok so I seem to have fixed this issue been having and it turns out the phone itself is fine. The issue was with 2.4Ghz wifi networks. There are quite a few in my local area and there is probably a lot of cross talk on channels. So i setup a 5GHz network and my n5x seems rock solid since ive connected to that. no one single drop out all day! speeds are also much faster im getting 150MB download speed on wifi lol...
i changed nothing else on my phone just for the record. hope this maybe also helps someone else

I think I have an issue with the college wifi as well. I asked my friends who are using the same wifi network and their phones also do not seem to remain connected. I thought that it was an issue with my phone but I guess it is not.
To test that, I connected my phone to my college wifi all night and when I woke up in the morning, more than 20% battery had been used probably because of disconnecting and reconnecting continuously. The next night, I connected to some other wifi and there was less than 3 or 4% drop in battery overnight.
I hope they upgrade the college wifi as the battery drain is very annoying.

Hello all, I have been using the d2spr for quite some time... without mobile. I have no service on the phone and have no problems using it as an esspresso device like my p5113 tab 2. On my tab two there was a thread about removing the cell from the device, which I will more than likely have to look up again for that device. Is this possible for this phone? Anyone have any experience removing cell from the phone. I have read that searching for signal reduces the battery life, and I have yet to try it on the phone. If anyone can give me any pointers on this would be great. Also if you know which files to delete would save me a crap load of time searching for it.... thanks in advance...

are you basically trying to use it as a galaxy player? (i.e. an android version of an ipod touch?) if so, ive just put mine into airplane mode and turned wifi on manually. It greatly improves battery life as its not using the cell radio.

not exactly I use it as a voip phone and remote control as well as play various games, though there is no service on it, it shows the mobile connection. With the tablet it was a wifi only tab so removing cellular feature from android really increased battery life. Though I was not sure if it would work the same on the d2spr... not quite sure where to start though so thought I would ask, but thanks for the alternative, I am not sure about using airplane and wifi together as I have not tried that before.

gotcha. well, if youre using strictly voip, then the airplane mode and then turning wifi back on separately will work very well. like i said, ive done that with other devices and it substantially increases the battery life. Give it a whirl, what can it hurt?
Just an update with the steps on what I did.. as well as the results. With rooted device I deleted the 3 folders telecom, telephone, and another that starts with a tele that I can not think of. They are located in system/priv-app folder on root of system. (Using root explorer) After that I reboot, and all is working fine with no cellular at all. I have been letting it sit just to see how long the battery lasts on standby. So far I am at 28 and a half hours... I still get notifications and wifi works smooth. In the battery section in settings it currently reads charge remaining 8 days. Anyone with no service like me might want to give it a try... if something does not work all you have to do is re-flash what ever rom you had and that will put the folders back. and install cellular on the phone again... I would say that is the number one battery drain of the phone next to the display...
Day seven of my battery test and So far it appears that without cellular on the d2 you can get up to 10 days of standby charge. I did not use the phone at all for anything but to check status. Also, If you notice the small change in the curve, it is because it downloaded updates. It was connected to the internet the entire time...
So, I was on latest MIUI China beta before. Somedays ago, I flashed the Resurrection Remix 6.0.0 (06.03.2018 build). Battery was draining fast. I checked battery usage and there was this ”Mobile Network Standby” which was draining the battery. It even consumed more power than Screen and Android System. I thought it was some bug on RR. So, I flashed Lineage OS 15.1 (05.03.2018 build). Everything was fine here too. Except that ”Mobile Network Standby” thing. It was draining battery on this ROM too. I tried L OS 15.1 12.03.2018 build and RR 6.0.0 10.03.2018 build. That bug still present in these ROMs too.
I tried possibly everything to fix that issue. I've tried following -
1. Network Setting Reset
2. Turn off Data always on in Developer Settings
3. Turn off VoLTE (I don't even use LTE here)
4. Clean cache via TWRP
5. Turn off WiFi scanning during sleep
6. Turn of Location Services
7. Turn off Google play Services wakelock and background running via Privacy Guard
8. Finally, I clean flashed both ROMs
But, Nothing has fixed the issue.
on Nougat 7.1.2 ROMs everything is absolutely fine. There's no draining issue
PS - I used stock kernel with CN Firmware 8.3.1 and 8.3.8
Is there any possible fix for this issue? Anyone else having this issue? Any updates on fixing this issue in future?
Sorry for my English btw
Thanks
Update: Using the ForceDoze (root method) app reduced the battery drain. But, it didn't really solve the problem
Try the app "ForceDoze", helps with almost any battery drain. Does require root though. Another explanation could be that your reception is bad for whatever reason, so also check that. Also flashing a newer GApps might help.

Tried. Even tried Greenify force doze by rooting. No improvement.
And cellular reception is pretty fine here. I don't have this issue on nougat ROMs
I have same problem with clean lineagos 15.1. Probably everone on lineageos have the same problem. Thank you for listing what do not help. I do not have to try myself.
Nope, don't have it. Rarely goes above a few percent of the battery usage.

what kernel and firmware you're using? did you clean flashed? and which rom btw?
Stock kernel, firmware 8.3.1, OpenGApps of 11th of March, LOS 15.1 version of 5th of march, and dirty flashed all in-between version since the switch to the "official" status.
I tried using sim slot 2, a sim duplicate, also I have migrate my network carrier... still the same...
Since I read it also happens in miui roms and it could be firm related issue I flashed oldest firm required by LOS15.1, that as luk said is 8.1.4, and after switching off WIFI it still drains my battery...
I don't know why this happens, and I don't know why it is happening just to a few of us but is totally annoying...

Root and Use ForceDoze app
It reduced the drain noticeably. But, this drain still persists

it reduced the drain via rooting. via adb it doesn't do anything. but the drain still exists. Thanks a lot
This problem occurs due to incorrect work with VoLTE, including after various ways to disable it (in the settings, through Build.prop, etc.) and is relevant only for some cellular operators.

Fix for battery drain Oreo 8
Work around, issue is with 4G preferred network type under mobile network settings, just change to 3G and
all will be fine. Guess I'll be waiting for the good people of Android to send out fix one of these years?

all won't be fine. I've tried that. though, draining reduces on 3G network. but, mobile network standby still drains battery. no fix so far. not even a clue, what's causing this drain
I only get a noticeable drain on the train, so I guess it has something to do with connecting to, or scanning for, network masts.
im having the same issue but I have full signal lte. mobile standby is at 34% last I checked. clean install, gapps nano and magisk 16.4
volte disabled. klte galaxy s5 g900t.
I think i know whats happening. When i first installed los 15.1 on my s5 it showed 2 sims when i only have 1 sim port. A reboot seemed to fix the issue and now shows 1 sim. However, i also noticed that without signal, mobile network standby is at 72% draining battery. At this point im thinking the phone is searching for network. What if that even though there is full siignal on lte, the phone is continually searching and scanning even though its connected to cellular network?? Thus giving us this massive battery drain.
I have an Umidigi A1 PRO and had a similar issue, Mobile Network Manager battery drain. I contacted Umidigi and they replied to me:
"Ok, please go to 'Settings --> Security location --> Location (under Privacy) --> Scanning' and disable both Wi-Fi- and bluetooth scanning. That scanning function uses both bluetooth and WiFi (in any phone) even if they are turned off."
This reduced battery drain considerably and now overnight, with wifi switched off, battery usage is between 2% and 3%. Even in day with wifi switched on drain is what I would expect of any mobile. There must be a reason why this option is not placed under 'Network'. I haven't tested out the above (dual sim), but will try adding a second sim and see what happens as the the Mobile Network Manager battery usage is still above normal.
Regards.
I have the same Cell Standby issue.
However Wifi & Bluetooth scanning are disabled.
I have also set my preferred network to 3G since I don't have an LTE contract yet.
I'm currently using a Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910F), with the current Resurrection Remix Oreo build (RR-O-v6.1.0-20180712-trlte-Official).
I sure hope somebody figures this out.
Hi,
I used successfully lineage-17.1-20200220-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx for a while, it worked great, but for some reason, the phone started to drain the battery and loose 10% of capacity per hour. In the meantime, I could pinpoint the issue. The drain happens only if the mobile data is on, but even if I have a good, working Wifi connection. Using BetterBatteryStats, I can see that the wakelock "bam_dmux_wakelock" is waking up the phone very often, which confirms that the issue is related to mobile data.
I have updated to lineage-17.1-20200220-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx and the modem to I9195XXUCQL2, which seems to be the latest for me (Germany, T-mobile). It didn't help.
2G/3G/4G doesn't make a difference. With 4G, signal strength is about -100 dbm, on 2G, -70 dbm, which seem like reasonable values.
I don't phone often, but I have also issues with the normal calls: I cannot pick up, or the call gets interrupted. Maybe the issues are related.
I am out of ideas how to investigate further. Is there any way to see the reason of the frequent ""bam_dmux_wakelock" ? Could it be a hardware issue ? Any other idea?
Thanks!

Thanks, but I did already and didn't get any feedback. It doesn't really belong there anyway, because I don't think it is a problem with the system. A lot of other users are happy with it, and so I was, until the problem started. It could be the modem, the carrier, a hardware issue... Therefore I started a new thread.
I bought another used S4 mini, and I installed the same system ROM, and copied the complete data over. I have now good battery life times again, more than 24h. So it was actually a hardware issue. The S4 mini are getting old unfortunately.
Hello everyone,
I hope all the pixel 6 pro owners are not suffering from high blood pressure lol
I've bought the pixel 6 pro few months ago and kept hoping it'd be better by updates. and indeed it improved a lot with time except one annoying issue: The insane mobile network's battery usage.
As you can see in the screenshot, it takes more than 30% of my battery to just be idle on LTE with data off. not even a game uses that much of power.
I contacted Google, they asked me to return it but since I live in Morocco it's impossible due to the insane customs' taxes, so I just have to live hoping they'd fix it with an update.
what I noticed is that this issue isn't present in custom roms. I also noticed that many people are still facing this issue to this day.
I reported the bug many times using the feedback app in the QPR beta yet got no replies.
Take out the trash, Facebook.
Try a network reset.
Find the apps sucking the bandwidth. All cloud apps are prime suspects. A logging firewall would be helpful for this. Firewall block all apps that don't need internet access.
Disable all Google, app and carrier feedback.
Malware is also a possibility.
Finally factory reset if you suspect malware and/or can't track down the cause(s). Be aware it may reoccur so it's always better to find the root cause when possible.

I tried literally everything. Tried a clean install with no apps installed, still the same. Tried disabling adaptive connectivity and "mobile data always on", still the same problem. LTE always drains battery.
I even tried deleting modem partitions then reinstalling the stock rom yet the issue persists. Can't seem to get rid of this issue.

That sucks. Maybe a hardware issue... I know that's the last thing you want to hear. It may be an antenna problem rather than the mobo.
Does it get better with the data on? Have your carrier do a network reset on their side.
Double check all configurations for the mobile data. Try clearing the data in the SIM toolkit app if it has that. Not sure how the SIM is managed on that maybe it's misconfigured. Try temporarily disabling Google play Services and see if that helps.
If you have a good local shop sometimes a second pair of eyes can spot the issue.

I don't think it could be a hardware issue since I tried some custom roms from xda and there was no drain. Network usage was limited to 2%.
I really don't know what's going on with this phone lol. I'm not the only one, there are some people online complaining about the same issue.

You need to find what's causing it then. Perhaps a system apk is endlessly polling another service or the internet. Make sure it's not a rootkit... Android 12 had a huge hole that Google plugged earlier this year. It doesn't apply to me so I'm not up to speed on it. Try flashing with the latest stable stock rom or simply go with what works.
It maybe they had to substitute a smaller chipset or component during a production run due to supply issues and the current firmware inadvertently wasn't configured properly for it. If so eventually they will correct the firmware more than likely. Samsung is notorious for doing that, Google probably does it too.
Fun times...

Unless you "have" to use the facebook app, which is a battery hog,
just go to m.facebook.com, the mobile site. Less battery drain and when you close
your browser, there isn't any app running that you don't know of.
Forget that percentage number, over the various updates I have had it be anywhere from 5% to 50% and it has made absolutely zero difference to how long the phone lasts during the day.
Are you actually not getting through a day on the battery? If you are then forget about that number as its not really telling you anything.
The mobile network drain is due to the Samsung radio chip they chose, it was known to be a battery hog even 4 years ago. They use a different, more efficient over in the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro
