Dears,
On my op3, which is running with Experience OS and Blue spark Kernel, always the Whats app coming on top of the battery stats even though I opened it less time. It is showing that "Mobile Radio Active" is enabled for hours. I can not switch off the Data while the screen off because it may delay the notifications. I understood that the modem is not disconnecting from data even if the app become not in foreground stage. What ever the app I used for data restriction reduced the Deep sleep time since it were keeping alive in the back end to restrict the data service. Is there any solution to get rid the Mobile Radio Active bug.
No there isn't, it is a known thing since Android Lollipop.

OOOOPSSS!!!! i have cleared all other battery draining issues using various methods. But this is hectic.
Why google is not taking care about this since it is a serious bug? But I think not everyone facing this issue. Some of them are getting good battery backup without having mobile radio active issue.

With Whatsapp this is expected. All of Facebooks apps are known to be terrible battery drainers. It is part of the reason that it never took off in the states. Also anything like that will always keep the radio active. It is the nature of the app. As long as you use it then you will get battery drain.

But it is a serious bug, isn't it Bro? I am worried why the google devs not showing much interest to resolve this battery killing issue.... I think there was an xposed module available in Lollipop or marshmallow to solve this problem. But nothing available in Nougat. feeling helpless bro

It's nothing Google can do. It is Facebook. The apps is badly coded just like their main app and messenger. As long as you rely on it for messaging (not sure why people do) then you will have to deal with it.

No bro, I don't think it is because of Facebook. I am not using facebook at all. But me too having the issue. I think it is clearly a mobile data modem issue. Mobile radio is not disconnecting even after android system closed the foreground app. Only android devs can resolve it.

You miss the fact that whatsapp is a facebook app. Owned and written by facebook.
If mobile data disconnects then you would not get notified. Data is how that app works.
If you do some research you will find this to be true.
Again this is how messaging apps work. It doesnt seem like you have alot of experience in mobile OS programming.
My advice would be to use a different app like Telegram. This is what most of the world uses. As to whats app is mainly used in developing countries but not much outside of them.

Yes but if you look closely he is not using the device. And to be honest, I don't think it's real. I have never seen android display something when there is no usage like for the GPS in that screen shot.
I know it can last for days without using it as that is what happens to my device on the weekends. I unplug it sat morning and only use it when someone calls me and I don't have to plug it back in until Monday morning. Mind you that is really not using the phone much at all.
it has got no fix yet. May be this goes away in Oreo.
Sorry if someone has already pointed this before.. But have u tried turning the data saver mode on?
Once ON, make sure you disable unlimited data for Google play services and whatsapp.. (in settings, app, data usage)
I tried it and somehow it worked

This is my first android phone so I am still finding my way around it, I am looking for a little bit of help.
I installed netcounter and everything seems to be ok it opens and displays the data screens but it never updates the wifi data. (I did a search but found nothing for my problem).
Am I supposed to do something else after the install ? Any help would be much appreciated I also emailed the developer but never got a reply
If it doesn't count WiFi isn't that a good thing? Means what it does say is your mobile Internet which is what you want to keep an eye on...
same problem
i got same problem on my new Desire, wifi is zero all the time, but it does count my mobile data, but probably wrong.. looks like it counts them altogether
lol, guys please
just think logically, what are apps like this made for? to monitor your internet usage so you dont go over your monthly plan, WiFi is free so why would it monitor it and confuse you with overall results?
To be fair though the app has a specific section for WiFi data usage which only ever displays 0 but is clearly meant to show your usage, so it is not working correctly.

Of course it should work for wi fi! The app works correctly on other phones. I have contacted the author for a fix for desire. And its very useful to see what activities use up the mb on wi fi so u can estimate what usage it will use when not on wi fi
still active?
I've been able to patch the sourcecode to get it to work on the HTC Desire, which was very easy since it is basically the same device as the Nexus One. I've been using that patched version without a problem.
I've submitted that patch to the author almost 3 weeks ago, but I've received no reply yet. I've also noticed that the application source code hasn't been updated since January, 3rd, so I suspect that this application isn't being actively developed anymore...
Does anybody have a good alternative that monitors both 3G and WiFi?
I'm using Network Monitor since I also couldn't get Netcounter to count wi-fi data. Network monitor doesn't have a problem with that.
Try Smart Monitor Lite, it measures both WiFi and mobile net. Works fine for me...

Is anyone still working on fixing the "0" network bug (as seen in Spare Parts) that is draining some of us of our precious battery?
That bug was in the Moment also, no one ever fixed it or could tell what it really was, there was another one also, either 0 would be there or the other...

It's not a bug. A bunch of smaller services are all grouped into that. Pretty much anytime your phone uses 3G it gets grouped into that service. That is why if you try to view it in Spare Parts you get an FC. Most services have stopped running and it can't make a proper list. If you have Wifi available, switch it on and watch 0 drop.

The bug has already been marked as something along the lines of being any root app or setting being grouped into that single UID. Im not sure if that goes the same for the Moment but thats the best someone has described it as for the Epic.

I know it has been described as that but it IS a bug if its draining battery using the Network when it shouldnt AND its not happening to everyone. The smaller services are any root apps or settings you may have, which shouldnt be taking up more Network time than something that is more of a data user such as Facebook or YouTube.
Oh, and Ive had Wifi on for hours day after day and its still there.

What makes you think it is draining the battery? There is no way to tell how long it runs for and what services are in it? It is highest in my network usage until I ran email for a few minutes and that was higher. My battery is amazing, so it is not a battery drainer. It is just a bunch of unknown services that are not named.

All those services are using a bit of battery which amounts to a total of more than any other app that uses data that I have. If it wasnt draining battery it wouldnt be at the top and reduce the battery of whoever is affected by it from what Ive seen. It may not be affecting you but it IS a known case out there from what Ive seen in EVERY ROM thread.

If it's at the top of the list under "Network usage", that is not an issue. Pretty much any rooted kernel will display this process "0'" as the highest network user. Now if the bar is solid red, and your "Running" percentage is near or at 100%, then you have a problem. As long as it's not causing a wakelock, there is no cause for alarm.

Again, you have NO IDEA how long they are running...it could be 2 minutes. It is just the most used of your network. Lots of things on your Epic use network services but are not listed...because they are lumped into the 0 service. As Matt pointed out, if it is not red, it is not running constantly. Just because you don't know what something is doesn't make it a bug. This is doing exactly what Google meant for it to do, lump unknown (to the OS) network calls into a single UID. TWS was a real bug because it didn't matter whether you had signal or not, it was always 50%. Kswapd0 is a real bug because it is using CPU.
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this or not.... But I am experiencing two major problems with my phone:
1) It periodically just drops wifi. I have great signal strength and none of my other devices (and I have a lot) ever behave this way. And I have seen it happen on other wifi spots as well.
2) This one is even worse. I am not able to get more than about 9-10 hours on a charge. Not using the phone *at all*. When I checked what was using the battery power all I saw was normal google stuff, no app itself directly consuming
Mine is a brand new verizon phone.
anyone else experience these? Worth seeing if I can get verizon (or LG) to replace the phone?
Factory reset and if that doesn't work, exchange for sure.

I disabled all the Verizon apps, including DT Ignite. I have not activated the phone yet (waiting for root or Helium to work), and now the battery usage graph has almost flatlined when not in use.

Just an update after disabling VZW apps, 22 hours, 17% battery drain. This is on a non activated phone, WIFI on, minimal use). Not a great metric, but much better than with them enabled.

Application Manager. Scroll over to "ALL" tab. Click on the individual apps. It should have the option to Disable near the top. Those apps will be moved to the Disabled tab if you should ever want to enable them in the future.
I always factory reset after leaving a store because their first priority is to get the phone into a usable state and they bypass the Google login to start syncing my information.
The first thing I install is Nova Launcher. To disable Apps, I just click and drag to the desktop for "system info" then uncheck "Show Notification", click "Force Stop", then "Disable".
I just clear out the crap out the App launcher. I haven't gone in through Settings > App Manager and disabled any services or background apps.
I've also had (and still have WiFi issues). Just got my phone replaced today from T-Mobile and my WiFi has intermittently cut out a couple times today already. Perhaps its something that will require a software update to fix.

If I'm understanding the articles, it is an app so carriers can install Bloatware after your purchase. Even after a factory reset. The good, the bloatware doesn't have to be installed and part of the factory ROM. The bad, everything else...
According to a post on Reddit, the small update on ATT was to fix 5ghz Wi-Fi issues. Hopefully all carriers push it.

On VZW I do not have any issue with WiFi, I do however have not so great battery life. I did disable all the useless items I can. I get about 9-10 hours with 1-1.5 hours SOT. Guess it's OK, but would have liked to get more of what others are reporting (3+ hours SOT).
Coming from the G3 on 23C, I did notice that my battery time did drop a bit, so it's not far off of what I had, not going to return the device, just going to deal with it for now.

Yea, I'm in the same boat. Not sure exactly what to do. I can return it and get an S6 which I hear is faster and has much better battery life. Or I can stick with it and hope a patch fixes or that it gets unlocked and we can run something else...
Oh and another thing, has anyone tried to recondition the battery?
Ive been on multiple ROMS and all of them have TERRIBLE battery drain issues with google play services. Currently im on ICE 3.1.1 but have used ARHD, Maximus, and LeDroid, all of them had this issue. i dont think its ROM replated but maybe some settings? im using greenify for ALL apps i installed including the google app, google play games, maps, street view, gmail, etc. if its not a system app, i greenify it. currently my phone has been on for 3.5 hrs and im at 85% with 30mins SOT and 37% screen off usage is due to google services. keep awake time is at 30mins. ive been on 4G most of the time with wifi turned off. what settings could this be related to? the battery dies so quickly when screen is off! just letting it sit idle for 10 mins dropped it 1-2%!
Using 4g usually uses more battery than WiFi so probably use WiFi when available. However that's still bad. Everyone has Google play services that has a US Android phone so everyone would have the issue if it were purely that.

As far as I know it's a more or less common issue that has already existed on my old One S. Maybe it's even older. (I'm not even sure whether it's a HTC specific issue.) If I remember correctly a real solution was never found. Sometimes a Play Services update fixes the problem, sometimes flashing a RUU and sometimes a clean flash of the rom you are using. (Luckily I never had to face this problem.)
These are what causing my wakelocks. The top 3. Anyone know what would cause those?
Hello everyone!
I don't know why, but since last week the battery drains faster than it has before. There is no apparent reason for it. There is only one anomaly, one process that seems to use a lot of the cellular network, and that is the WhatsApp...
How can I examine this further on an unrooted phone??
Thx in advanced !
If the cellular network at your place is weak, your phone will use more power energy to maintain network connection. In such case, I think you'd better install the app named Greenify to stop Whatsapp from background running.

That's the thing... It's not weak. It just drains the battery more than it had before for some unknown and not apparent reason at all.
i was having a problem like that, i turned up mobile data and using only whatsapp, with a big battery drain, the solution for me was disable fast telephony from the hidden menu in the telephone and now the problem is gone
I guess "fast telephony" = "fast dormancy", right?

Disabling fast dormancy is ok if your carrier does not implement it otherwise if they do you want it on. Given your problem happened suddenly i doubt that is the reason.
When people have problems with whats app. clear cache or failing that, reinstalling the app has fixed it.

Well, it doesn't seem to have any effect on the usage of mobile data of the WhatsApp app...
Also clearing the cache and uninstalling and reinstalling the app didn't have the desired effect.
