I was wondering if anyone had good battery consumption over EDGE network on a certain DHD radio.
I have so far tried Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 and Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M but I'm not happy with the consumption. On both the radios I lose about 10% battery an hour over EDGE. However, if I stay on wifi I lose about 2/3% battery an hour.
I live in Bangladesh and we don't have 3G here so high 3G battery consumption is not an issue. I just need a radio that goes well with EDGE.
PS: Should I keep the network on GSM only or GSMWCDMA Auto?
Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 should be a good one for Asia i think. Cuz im in Malaysia as this radio jz ard 5% drain the most per hour on standby mode. If youre nt using 3G, stick to GSM only mode will do

Well I'm losing 10% an hour with light usage on that radio. I imagine battery consumption with 3G is a lot less that this. I usually delete stock items I do not use like plurk, flickr, notes, twitter, and other stuff.
I have one facebook and google account on sync plus the weather and news.
So i was using my HSPA galaxy nexus on Rogers network in Canada for about 7 weeks, and getting quite excellent battery life (~36hours of how i use it).
I have now switched to Telus, and for the same locations and use, i'm lucky to get 20hours out of it after 2 weeks. Same phone, same software, same amount of time on wifi, etc.
looking @ the battery stats, i guess the mobile standby is higher, but not stupidly high.
Has anyone else noticed this? I know there are differences based on idle timers in the radio network etc, but i'd really like to be able to do something about this. And unfortunately moving back to Rogers is not an option I have.
Rogers has 2g network, Telus does not. When you're using wifi, you don't need rogers' data so you're on their 2g network + wifi. With telus, you have no network to fall back on = 3g + wifi. Hence, more battery drain.
Hello all , fairly new to the Nexus , I've had it for a week and a half , stock jellybean , only a wifi device right now , waiting on my sim card to come in the mail to ditch my contract and go prepaid .
My question is about cell standby . Looking at my battery stats this morning , I'm at 53% batt. with over 25 hours up , very little use but still happy with life , but I see cell standby is 10% of my drain , which is a little confusing with no sim in the phone , but the really confusing part is that the details for cell standby say the time without a cell signal is 0% . In phone status the network is unknown and service state is out of service , so wouldn't that mean time without a signal should be 100% under cell standby ? I am getting a signal strength reading , so I'm thinking that reading sig. strength might fall under cell standby , but I'm not sure. Any insight would be appreciated . Thanks.
It will still use a signal even with no sim. This is how how make emergency phone calls. Which is still available without a sim. So it will still use battery.

The cell phone also has other processes at play at all times as well. Draining of the battery due to stand by isnt all that rare.

Thanks , I hadn't thought about E911 using cell , makes sense now .
Recently my UK Tmobile network provider update me 3g settings so I could receive better 3g. It was rubbish at the time.
Since the refresh or checking settings (as Tmobile described it), my battery has been destroyed. I used to get a full day no problem. But now it's struggling at half.
To make sure this was because of there actions I re - flashed from bck/up and back to normal with good battery life but rubbish to inoperable 3g. Had to ring them again and they sent me another txt which improved connectivity but has destroyed battery again.
Has anyone else had this problem and what could it be. Wisdom and help much appreciate. Thx
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

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.
