Have att note 8 with a bad imei. Cell standby is using about 15% of battery life. How can I disable this?

Using Airplane mode, and then enabeling Wifi afterwards should do the trick
That did th he trick. Thanks

hi all
recently i have just calibrate my battery.. and it works just fine
but now i found that it drains alot quicker using 3g signal compared to wifi...
the drain rate can take 10% /hour on 3g and only 4% / hour for wifi
why is that ?
is there something wrong on my gsm ?
btw am using leedroid froyo 2.0c and using latest radio 32.47.xxx
pls some one can tell me.. what to do ??any clues on this ?
3G has more power drain than wifi so it's normal.

oiya ? is it ?
coz on my iphone it was different... wifi was worse..
anyway.. is there anyway to slower battery drain ?

My 3G has always had higher power drain than WiFi. There isn't really anything you can do about it other than to turn it off. Alternatively you can disable "Always on Data" under Wireless & Networks => Mobile Networks

Disable automatic sync. My data networks are switched off since last week. Now my battery lasts 2-3 days. I only use wifi at home.
You can also use juicedefender to control battery use and sync intervals.

This can also be caused by low/patchy 3G coverage in areas you are in.
If the 3G signal is weak then the handset will use a lot of power to try and keep the signal, as it prefers it over 2G.
If you don't mind the slower data speeds, switch to 2G/GSM Only as this does not use as much power (due to 3G cell breathing - Google it )

One way to alleviate *some* of that is to set the phone to "GSM Auto (PRL)".
Go to dialer and dial "*#*#INFO#*#*". That should take you to the settings screen.

Definitely true. Your cell will consume much more power when you are outside of coverage area. The antena will keep searching the network according to your preference. So if you have 3G active all the time the phones internal antenna will keep looking for it and will drain your battery quicker.
okey..
thx all 4 d answers...
goo that to know there's nothing wrong with my signal or battery..
i think my problem is bad signal coverage.. as i always be in the shop which is so inside ....
but cant make it to edge/gsm as 2g speed is awful here in indonesia...
i think i'll just use juicedefender
thx..
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)
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.

I would like to understand whatever relationships exist among Battery Usage, Cell Standby, & Network Mode.
I am seeing that Cell Standby accounts for 40% of my battery usage - with GPS, Wi-Fi, and Mobile Data all turned off. I would like to be able to reduce this %.
Under Network Mode i have 4 choices ...
GSM/HPSA/LTE auto connect
GSM/HPSA auto connect
GSM only
HPSA only
Will my choice among these affect my battery usage?
What is the difference if i do not choose an auto connect option? I am guessing that auto connect simply means that the phone will choose the best option, so auto connect is not necessary when there is just one choice.
I do not need the extra hi speed of LTE. Rogers coverage in Canada is slightly better with GSM/EDGE than with HPSA. So i am considering setting my phone to GSM only.
Will i save battery usage with this choice? What do ya think?
GSM only will amount to about 50% battery saving.
Auto connect will chew through the battery life as phone radio has to search for 3G and 2G continuously.
LTE will make you run for your charger by 3 PM everyday.

Thanks. I set my phone onto HPSA Only. I'll see how this works out over the next while.
my battry is low
hey guys,
i wondered if its smart to leave both sim cards enabled all the time.
both sim cards are from the same provider. the second one i only use when i am out of mobile internet at the first card.
i guess with same cards from differnt providers there would be more battery drain because the phone has to connect to two different networks all the time, but when both sims are identical does it affect battery at all?
maybe i have some wrong thoughts here. thats why i am asking you.
thanks.
I think u r thinking right you can save some juice if u disable a sim or both. I generally keep phone on airplane mode at night with WiFi on. Drain is very good but in some days when I don't keep it in airplane mode drain is worse

yea, but i actually wanted to know if i can leave both sims enabled without any significant increase of the battery drain? assuming both sims are from the same provider.
The drain will all depend on the signal strength, good to average on both sims and you won't see much difference.

I suggest switching the sim you are not using for internet to 2g only you will experience a big difference
