22%What's the percentage of battery usage for Mobile Network Standby?
22%What's the percentage of battery usage for Mobile Network Standby?
Mobile Network Standby... Huge drain on my 6Pro, twenty five to forty percent higher than SOT. Disabled MNS on developer's sub forum, disabled Adaptive Connectivity, manually selecting either LTE (default) or Wifi, bypassing 5G. It appears as if the phone is continually searching for a connection, even when the speeds on LTE or Wifi are fast. Disabled MNS and looking for it to reduce battery drain. Many others seeing MNS as a problem. Google is aware of this.
Thanks for chiming in! Are you saying that you disabled Mobile Network Standby?
Interesting ... I shall explore. Thanks!In the developer's sub settings.

I did a clean setup when I got my 6 Pro ... No transfer of apps or any data/settings. Nonetheless, thinking I'm going to try a factory reset over the extended weekend when I have some time.You have to make sure the phone is going into deep sleep mode. It was working then stopped. I had to do a factory reset and it started back up again. I assume it's something that can happen when transferring data and gremlins over from your previous phone. I've seen deep sleep mode lose very little battery percentage when the phone is in idle or standby.

I switched my P6 to battery saver and tested idle drain. In 8 hours it drained 3%. Without battery saver enabled it drains 11%. Battery saver forces phone to switch to 4g. The phone is alot quicker here at home on 4g. Battery saver is the only way I can switch the phone to 4g, as AT&T doesn't allow it in settings menu. Battery saver also won't allow some apps to run in background and apps won't refresh till they are opened.
I find this pretty abysmal, honestly. Woke up, took phone off charger, checked a few emails and did some random website surfing and then got ready for work. Phone was in my pocket all day long ... no music playing in the background or anything. Just connected to my Galaxy Watch Active 2. Almost 20% lost with not even 10 minutes SOT in about 6.5 hours / 3% drain per hour?!This is barley better than what I was getting with my 3 years old Pixel 3.

That's way, way worse than my pixel 3XL with everything turned on, which is how I normally run my phones. Granted, I picked up my 3XL new 6 or so months ago, so it hasn't had 3 years of daily use put on it.... but I still think this is a 5G issue. I don't think the networks are ready.... I think it's a rush job/cash grab at the customers expense![]()
