As said in title, I have a problem after updating to Gingerbread. In battery use it says that Dialer is using about 20% of battery. Does anyone else have this problem and are there any solutions for it?
I have this problem too, i opened another thread, btw i made a factory reset but the problem is still present.
I think that there aren't solution now, because htc in this new 2.3.3 rom change the radio,
i forced mine to only wcdma mode and disabled always-on mobile data.also i disabled best wi-fi performance when wifi is enabled.also when mobile data is switched on, i turn off wifi and vice versa. far now it is much better. if anyone do like me, pls tell me if is any improvement for you.

Perhaps leaving wcda always active will consume more than ever to leave gsm mode?
However disabling always-on mobile data in 2g/3g settings menu,your apps and widgets are updated automatically?
when i leave only wcdma, i think will consume less power because it didnt try always and always to switch to better signal (from 2g to 3g and vice versa).i have only weather auto update on and i didnt noticed any change .

Now i have only GSM mode, btw i can try to disable always on mobile data keep active in the 2g/3g menu and hope that this radio will consume less power.
I thought maybe the problem could be caused by a bug introduced with the new management processes that consume the battery, also because there is the graphic that was not there.
Let me explain:
The details of the processes that consume battery is correct because if I go on "DIALRE" the voice tells me that the CPU has been used only 6 minutes in 20 hours, so little, but shows the % is too high.
Same thing with regard to the voice "Telephone inactive", says it's been idle for less than 20 minutes that I used. but the % is too low.
So it could be a bug that we see that the phone uses too much and we blame the new radio?
Hi everyone
Dialer uses much battery, because it's using the sensors all the time (even with screen off/standby).
You can check that for example in "Battery History for GB" app (you'll find it on xda...)
I wrote some posts about this issue on the ARHD thread in DHD Development (just search for "Dialer" on the thread).
So far no one has a solution... so I guess it's a bug HTC build in... :/
If any one has a solution or a fix please post it

I tried 3 different radios... I had that problem with each one of them.

So, the problem is the official 2.3.3 not the new radio?
Btw, also with dialer voice at 30% of consume, i have 28% of battery available now and the last unplugged was 1g and 15 hours ago, with medium use,.
Whit the 2.2.1 with the same use, my best was 1g and 6h.

Seems like it's a problem with the official release.
If you google the issue you'll find people with other phones solving the issue by setting the "Turn to mute" feature to off...
Problem with this: We don't have that setting :/
For me Dialer doubles the standby battery use... so battery life is good, but could be much better.

So we can not do anything to solve this problem? We have to wait a patch from google? HTC will not do it then maybe never or maybe the 2.3.4
Maybe in the other Roms, cooker have solved this problem..
can we turn off the proximity sensor?

I think the problem is within the htc dialer app, so htc has to fix it...
Does anyone know if the "turn to mute" option was there in the official froyo roms?
Maybe it's possible to edit the setting manually then and switch off the feature in the settings file by copying the relevant settings string from the old config...
EDIT:
Maybe it's possible to use the old dialer app from froyo in GB...
Somebody has to try ^^
EDIT2:
Turning off the proximity sensor completely would resolve in dropping calls with your ear, because display doesn't turn off when you move your phone to your ear ^^
Update:
Installing HTCDialer.apk from ARHD 3.7 on 5.1.4 does not work...
Same issue for me : the dialer is supposed to be using 10 to 20% of battery, eventhough it only used the CPU for less than one minute...
I'm quite sure this wasn't the case on Froyo...
I am investigating this problem, the point is that I have heard other people with the desire hd on an Italian forum, and apparently almost no one experience this problem.
I'm thinking that maybe the problem is due to some app, widget, or maybe some setting of the carrier.

I made a fullwipe twice and reflashed the rom, I restored nothing, really nothing - and the issue was there.
So it must have something to do with provider or maybe the hardware (some components from another manufacturer than most phones?) I don't now. Maybe just an ultra rare random bug in the original firmware, that happens when your IMEI starts with what not (just joking).
I can also confirm that the bug was not in froyo but in many gingerbread Roms on different phones. So maybe a general bug in gingerbread. If only someone could figure out a way to disable the "turn to mute" feature.
After what I read that should solve our problem...

Or maybe just those who are not experiencing the issue is why does not realize it because they use the phone so heavy, and more % are given by other processes, so that they see "dialer" is a 6% 7% max.

Yeah could be... We need to turn this feature off, my best guess at the moment...

Mine is around 11% at the end of the day, but I only made a 1mn call...
And it was always nearly 0% in Froyo...
Is it increasing with phone call lengh?
I'm also wondering if this is just a new way to compute the battery usage : maybe Froyo wasn't able to "see" this usage, so the percentage was allocated to other items, but in this case the battery lengh would be the same. Just the ratio per item would be different. What do you think?
My screen battery usage was around 80% before upgrading, now it is only 58%, Dialer increased, system increased, but I'm under the feeling that my battery still last the same time...

Hi,
as far as I noticed it's not increasing with call lenght.
It actually starts to drain battery, when you make a one second call, then it uses the sensors the whole time.
If you reboot your phone and don't start the dialer or take a call, then it will not drain your battery.
That leads to my conclusion, that it is a bug in the dialer, because it should'nt use the sensors when my phone is in standby overnight.
EDIT:
My battery life seems to have decreased comparing to froyo.

I have the voice "dialer" with high % of consume also when removed from charge and I leave the dhd on the desk, inactive in standby, and I do not make any phone call.
That's why I say that I think the problem is not the proximity sensor problem, but maybe other.
However to me the battery lasts much longer but even with this problem, I can do at least 10 hours in more than Froyo with the same usage.
@ samsenteur: I asked on another Italian forum, and many users do not have this problem, perhaps because the % of telephone as it changes when the high screen and system are high, so with a heavy phone during the day.
Edit : scungilli Many thanks for your help and willingness to resolve that you giving ...
Hi, I have S-ON with CM11 and few problems i cant live with.
Firstly, i have bad wi-fi signal, coin trick not working. But like, i have a signal, like 2 bars, but internet not work and I must restart wifi to work.
Second problem is with audio, sometimes, after call or whenever its so fast, so i must restart phone to work normal (normally 2x per day )
And sometimes it crashes in Google Camera, when i micro to something in fast.
And battery life is so horrible too, after 20 minutes from 100% i have 88%, it's that same with you? Im thinking about buying OneX+ battery..
Can somebody help me? Thanks guys!

Dear All,
I have this annoyance issue about high cell standby in idle time upto 90%, normally screen will eat most battery,
I search through forum and try to apply some tips but not work
exp: disable wifi auto scan, turn off wifi, forget network and clearcache ... and install AndroPlusMod (tick fix cell standby problem but then i cann't make any outgoing call, dial pad not response)
and also use "App Ops " to disable auto wake up but not work. It's only ok if i toggle the "air plain" mode
So Did anyone successfully fix this issue ? pls share with me and i think others will be applicable for their fone.
My device : Xperia ZL C6506, Android Lollipop 5.0.2
Brs
Known issues hovering all over older z series on lollipop.My friend has same .He tried factory reset.Firmware reapair ;now even worse.Battery is draining so fast during standby.
Batter rollback to older firmware if i were you.This is killing our old device.

Install better battery stats to see what is your problem, after installing that, instal amplify to block whatever is consuming battery
my battery after that last even 2 day if i dont play or stay all day on the phone
Same issue on CM12.1 (Android 5.1.1 - 2015-07-15).
Only solution so far is a reboot.

trying with amplify, hope it will work on xposed framework alpha 4
Thank for your suggest
fews day on Amplify seems not help us.
It seem we must buy the donation package to use full limitation wakelock function.
Still need some wise advice

It´s a android bug and reaches all lollipop devices (not only sony).
You can see a bug report here:
https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=2556
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=165558
I´ve got the same problem.
After turning mobile data off, i turn on wifi and reboot the phone. then you can turn off wifi and it´s ok.

Hope GG fix this in LL 5.1,
Guys from 1 month I observed that the battery backup is up sot 4-5 in wifi uses & with both of 4g and 3g the Sim & wifi it gives me about 3-4 hours..
I also kept my mobile background light in low 10 or 5% Lower
Now I am at Aex stable version 8.1 February.
I also try pixel experience.
Then also result is poor.
What can I do?
The problem started, when I flash 3.5 rom of zui via twrp.

After update to 10.2.5.0 (global) I noticed The battery is drained much faster than before without changing any settings. It's seems to be caused by the radio. See screenshot. Any idea how to fix this?
what a while that you battery make recalibartion after few charges
It is already a few cycles after the last update and no change. I'm loosing around 5% battery per hour right now when screen is off. Phone is connected to WiFi and mobile signal is excellent, no challenging conditions here.
Try to turn off wifi scanning on location , maybe
Tap a few times on "About Phone" -> "Internal Storage" and in the Testing app that opens click on "Phone Information 1" -> "Set Preferred Network Type". Check that the setting is right for you (I'm in Italy and I have set "LTE/UMTS"). By default you should see something in the lines of LTE/TD-SCDMA and it's the wrong configuration outside of China.
Hi mate,
strange, i did update it yesterday and i didn't noticed any changement on the battery drain.
Changing preferred network type does not affect the battery lifetime. Also it switch back to defualt setting after reboot.

Yeah, it does indeed revert back to the default borked setting after a reboot, that seems unfortunately a bug that they need to address asap.
In my case switching network mode helped quite a bit. When I bought the phone it drained about 4/5% hour, now it's at a stable pace of 1% hour. It's still a bit too much and they need to fix the modem firmware as soon as possible, but in the meantime at least my phone is usable (aside from the broken notifications and the useless AoD).
10.3.x should fix quite a bit of bugs and should be out soon. The china version is already out so it should be a matter of days (or weeks)...
Are you guys using Global rom or EU rom?
EU rom is supposed to be better than global...
Good to know that the issue is known and most likely to be fixed. At least not a hardware issue. I'm on 10.2.5.0 PFBEUXM.

I have the same problem, rom global, battery drain due to radio.
Monitoring battery use with GSam I see that the cpu never go in deep sleep.
I'm in the same boat, the standby drain is terrible. If I'm lucky I manage to get 3.5 hours of SoT. I'm on global stable 10.2.2.0 PFBMIXM.

Hi Guys, Does your WiFi show in the percentage bar even if it's set to OFF or using Mobile DATA and scanning is disabled and synch disabled etc etc etc.?
I have mine like your screenshot but WiFi seems to be ON all the time...
Does any of you have this issue?
