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.

Hey all. I am not sure if this had been brought up yet but i just recently got LG G3 (D852). Its fully unlocked and its a Canadian provider.
Now i am experiencing battery drain very quickly with this Cell StandBy crap (screenshot included). I have excellent signal all the time and it has nothing to do with antenna trying to look for a signal all the time. I am wondering if there is a bug or if i can fix this somehow.
Also, i would be interested in flashing the device to a different ROM, maybe stock Google experience.
I just dong have much experience in that so if anyone can include a step by step link, that would be great.
Please let me know guys.
Did you try factory resetting it?
Yes i did and that does not solve the issue at all
UPDATE: APN settings was the issue apparently. The settings were updated to the proper settings from the provider, phone restarted and BOOM, the battery is at least 50% better then before. I guess thats good enough for me right now

Is screen the item that takes up most battery now?
Since I installed the first N OOS build i have issues withmy GPS,
every few seconds it lost the lock and needed a few seconds to reacquire it.
Also sometimes it does not acquire ay lock at all and need a reboot to work again.
As far as I can tell the issue happens with every android N based OxygenOS.
And also with Lineage OS 14.1
I tryed clean flashing booth and it did not change anything.
Now I flashed back to the last MM based community build and it works no lost of GPS signal, reasomably quick fix.
Does any other users also have GPS issues with N based roms on the OP3?
How can I solve the issue or at least find out whaty causing the issues?
Funny you mention this. I use my op3 for my topo maps when I hike and I have found N based roms to cause the gps to require a relocking. Also, the gps is noticeably less accurate.
Anyone got an explanation/solution?
good to herar that I'm not the only one with GPS issues.
Now the question is how to fix those?
I am also facing GPS issues since Oxygen OS 4.x.x, before that I never experienced any.
Sometimes it take 5 to 10 minutes until it finally fetches a GPS Signal but it is still very inaccurate then.
Hopefully the new OOS 4.0.3 update helps, but I doubt it since there is no mention of GPS in the release notes.
I also have this issue, the only resolution I had is to switch on WiFi scanning. After turning it on GPS has been a bit better and locks to the correct location quickly.
Sent from my OnePlus3 using XDA Labs
Ok I found out something new when I set mobile data to 2G GPS works great also on the 4.0.3 OOS ROM.
And since people complained since the start that some have issues with GPS and 4G I guess the issue really is that if some particular frequencies are used GPS suffers. Apparently something changes in N ROMs that makes the issues appear for more users.
Interestingly is that flashing Modem Firmware has no affect so the issue is in a part that is in the android kernel itself.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/gps-issues-t3416544
Every time I turn location on, I get the "improve location accuracy?" prompt. Every single time.
How can I stop this? Never had this before, usually goes away after one enable.
Another strange thing sometimes the GPS cant get a lock and the only way to fix it is to restart the phone.
the bew Open Beta 12 based on Android 7.1.1 seams to have resolved my GPS issue really strange
Hi - I also do have heavy problems with losses of GPS- signal at the OP3 since months. Especially while using LTE the GPS gets often lost. Since 5 weeks I am working/struggeling with the OP-support a lot - but no changes till now. @David: "Open Beta 12" has solved your problems?? what is this concrete?
i do have the problem...... from 4.0.2 updated to 4.1.1 and now Beta13, the problem still there~!!
On my phone gps signal gets lost always at the same location and when lte is active. On any other location gps works perfect. When i disable lte everything works perfect. This has happend on any rom. I think this is a hardware problem and can not be resolved. The only solution is disabling lte or using a different provider. I am using o2 in Germany, the problem does not happen with other Providers. Different Providers have different frequencies, this might be the difference between o2 and the other providers.
I do have O2-LTE too and it is "under suspicion" in Germany. But in February I was for 4 weeks in Florida and travelled a lot using navigation. The provider was AT&T - and I had very often losses of GPS-signal too.
I can confirm, that the problem happens with different ROM, but not at only one location - it happens everywhere.
But what can we do? OnePlus is working at this problem since months without a solution - and the customer with this bug really have to accept it "for zero"??
Hello @OPFan , did you get help from the support? Or could you resolve the problem?
3 months of contact - lots of bubbles - no solution
try downloading the "Gps Test "app then enable GPS and open the app and click on the 3 dots > AGPS > Clear and update

this was one of the thousands of tryings - but also with zero effect
I'm having a lot of GPS issues since I've been using OPO or OP3.
I sold my OPO because of the bad GPS. Now I have the OP3.
On both phones I used custom ROM Cyanogenmod.
I sometimes had bad GPS reception, but this was fixed under Cyanogenmod doing this: Disable GPS, Disable Data, Enable Airplane mode, Disable Airplane mode, Enable Data, Enable GPS, then wait for GPS reception and start navi app.
Last week I flashed my OP3 with another ROM (AOSP) but this only made it worse!
I use my phone as car navigation daily, and while navigating, it finds GPS and it loses GPS every 5 seconds (using WAZE app). It's incredibly annoying. Using AGPS or any other "fix" found online doesn't fix the problem.
When using another navigation app, like Google nav, it's works better (because Google also uses LTE). Clearing cache or unistalling and reinstalling the WAZE app doesn't fix the problem.
Conclusion:
It is totally not related to your provider because they are working on fixed standard frequencies and I've been using the same provider on both phones.
It's also not related to the hardware only, because it was working on my OP3 under Cyanogenmod. So it should be related to the hardware driver included in the ROM.
Maybe this gives anyone an idea?

I have also GPS issues. It works well in gmaps, but it is unusable in Waze.
I thought AOSPA was causing it so I cleanflashed latest OB, but GPS issues are present there too
I am very annoyed now because I can't find a satisfying ROM. I have tried AEX Android v8.1, Jaguar Android v8.1, AEX Android v9.0 and maybe couple. They all seems good but not so good with standby mobile network. A couple of months ago I switched to AEX Android v9.0 from 8.1 but standby mobile network was very quickly draining the battery. So I flashed Jaguar. A couple of days ago I flashed 9.0 AEX again in hope the issue was fixed but the issue still exists. More than 50% of the battery is consumed due to mobile network standby. [Please see the attachment]
Most of the time my Mobile Hotspot and Data is turned on, because I use it to connect to my Computer. Is there any ROM you guys have used which is best in your opinion for:
Battery friendly: This is my main concern. I need a ROM which is best for the purpose of using my device as hotspot. So I have to enable mobile data and hotspot most of the time. My issue with current ROM is addressed above (tldr; they are bad with standby mobile network battery backup).
Best Internet speed : I use Jio. I don't know why internet sometimes keeps dropping with all the ROMS I have used. I have to restart the sim to get high speed again. So maybe a rom which fixed this issue for you.
Android Pie: Preferably based on Android Pie. 7/8/8.1 is okay too, I guess. This is not my main concern.
I believe many people use their phone as hotspot most of the time like me. I and they would thank you if you will help me decide this. TIA :good:!
Try miui 10 nougat. It doesn't have network drain and have very less standby drain
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
