I am using the OnePlus One, and I have recently gotten the OTA update to Lollipop.
Since the update, I have encountered the same problem, my battery life seems to have gotten to waste because of "Mobile radio active" in every single app that uses internet
I really hope someone is looking at this, and we are going to get some help

Mobile data is on all the time with no SIM and mobile data turned off. The only way to disable it is to go into airplane mode (that's what the gap is in the attached image).
Wifi will stay on all the time even when set to only be on while plugged in.

Why thre Priority is only small? I think this is a very annoing problem for the user experiencing it.

I have the oneplus one and I am experiencing this issue. It is absolutely hammering the battery on the cm12s 5.0.2 update.
fa...@gmail.com
I am also having this problem on a Sony Xperia Z3 after 'upgrading' to 5.0.2 yesterday.
Apps that like to stay on and use a lot of battery for me are: Android OS, Facebook Messenger, Opera, Cell standby.
Please find a fix for this, it has ruined one of the best features of my phone, its battery life.

I found an old report from June 27 of 2014, when Android L was in "preview":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53720841&postcount=8
>>
Chrome is using ALOT of battery. It seems to be keeping the mobile radio active in the background or something.
<<
If anyone from Google is reading this, how the hell do you ship an OS with this not fixed?
---
In my app, I tried using the new (5.0+) ConnectivityManager APIs:
registerNetworkCallback before doing networking
unregisterNetworkCallback when done using networking (my socket connections stay open past this time, for next network sync, but not used until then)
Didn't make any difference whatsoever.

I got this also on my Nexus4. I've tried clean flashing, factory resetting, custom roms, custom kernels, shutting down permissions with app ops. Nothing seems to help and my N4 doesn't last the day. I've got this issue with most apps that require internet (including apps like Gmail, Chrome etc.). On Wi-Fi everything seems normal.

Same exact issue on my OnePlus One, I've tried several (official) 5.0.2 ROM and also several (unofficial) 5.1.1 ROM: the bug is always there.
Can't believe this is tagged as a small priority bug, it's so annoying as it drastically reduces the battery life of our devices!
If someone finds a way to fix, please share it!

I am also having this problem on Nexus 4 with 5.0,5.0.1.5.0.2 and still in 5.1! this is ruining my device and means i can barely open any app on 3g without taking a serious chunk out of battery life! that is not a 'small priority' bug to me!

Being a developer whose app is affected, I tried another workaround:
Closing all my TCP/IP connections as soon as I'm done with them, so they don't stay open for longer than a few (dozen) seconds.
The issue is still there, "mobile radio active" still vastly greater than the "wake lock" time.
With all my connections closed, there is absolutely no reason for Android to keep the radio in high power state because of my app *or* to attribute it to my app. And yet it does.

Why is the priority small? This is a major issue affecting all devices!!

I created a small test app which shows the issue quite clearly.
Tested on a Samsung S6, Android 5.0.2, but at this point it's quite obvious that the issue exists in 5.1 and on Nexus devices with "barebones" Android as well. The S6 is where I actually have a SIM card.
Source code (also attached here):
https://github.com/kmansoft/tests/tree/master/MobileRadioTest
What it does:
Every 15 minutes, it wakes up, establishes a connection toimap.gmail.com:993 , runs a couple of commands, and closes the connection.
Each cycle takes a few second, and, to reiterate, the network connection (there is only one at a time) is closed at the end of each cycle.
The test was run over ~7.5 hours, mostly in LTE mode, total wake lock time in this app was about 2 minutes, and yet "total connection time" was an insane 2 hours 23 minutes.
Assuming each network use causes the cell modem to stay in a high power state for some longer time, let's work out how long that is:
Since the app runs every 15 minutes, and the test ran for 7.5 hours, there were 30 cycles of wake up / use network / close connections / release wake lock.
Dividing 2 hours 23 minutes by 30 we get almost 5 minutes of cell modem staying in a high power state after each time it's used.
That just seems way out of proportion (in last year's Google I/O talk on Project Volta, they were talking about 30 seconds or so of the cell modem staying in a high power state after each use).
At the same time, same pattern was observed in Google Services: "stay awake" at 1.5 minutes, and "total connection time" at almost 2 hours. A screenshot for that is attached as well.
I'm not sure if the issue is just with wrong numbers being reported, or with the modem being kept in a high power state way longer than it needs to be. Judging by widespread complaints about poor battery performance in 5.*, I'd say it's the latter, an actual low-level modem management bug.

vt...@gmail.com
Huge problem starting with official OTA update of android 5.0.2. Fast battery drain AND a big extra cost, as the mobile data is charged differently than the 'data usage' shown in the settings. Approximately 10x more data is charged by my mobile provider than what's calculated in the 'data usage' screen. More than a 100MB per day - while doing nothing of consequence - only background tasks.
I tried a factory reset (+ dalvik cache clean), and it worked fine for a couple of days (1-3MB per day of background mobile data and a battery lasting almost 2 days), until the phone updated all the default apps. Then the problem reappeared.

Made another test run today and collected the output of "adb dumpsys" and "adb bugreport", attached.
My test app's debug log is attached too -- 55 cycles over the test's time period, as before, lasting about a second each, and "mobile radio active" at 2 hours 25 minutes.
Google Play Services is right up there as well, with same issue.
Hope this is useful to someone at Google.

I can confirm that this bug is not only an error on displaying the time of mobile radio active. When i'im under WiFi I reach 2 day of use and 6 hours of SOT. Under 3G I can reach 3/4h of SOT

Same here with OnePlus One on CM12S (Android 5.0.2) , heavy battery drain caused by mobile radio active. When i'im under WiFi no problem, i can go up to 2 days without recharging but under 3G I can barely reach 5h. Same issue on Android 5.1/5.1.1 . Also Google Play Services drain my battery (known issue on CM ,i tried to solve disabling 'Wake up' and 'Keep awake' permission to Google Play Services).

I have the exact same issue with my Nexus 4. From 5.0 stock, to countless custom roms I tried and tested all exhibit this behaviour.
what #20 suggests, "in last year's Google I/O talk on Project Volta, they were talking about 30 seconds or so of the cell modem staying in a high power state after each use" may well be the culprit. Why? Google Play Services keeps reporting/syncing/updating location/GCMing all the time so that essentially mobile radio never goes to sleep.
Is there any way to reduce this 30 secs to let's say 3 secs or so?

Moto Maxx (aka Droid Turbo). Brazilian 4G. My phone has a 3900 mAh battery and doesn't survive a day on heavy usage. I can pretty much use all day long on Wi-Fi. The difference is enormous.
Also, I don't know if that's due to the brazilian heat, but my phone is always warm on 4G, opposing to Wi-Fi.

I have the same problem on the oneplus. So the good news is we're not alone but the bad news is that Google isn't all that likely to push a fix if this is mostly impacting oneplus users. We should probably focus some effort on oneplus and cyanogen to see if they will do something.
And given that cyanogen isn't an official partner anymore I don't think they will put much effort into this. Worse, oneplus is pushing their oxygen OS so it doesn't seem very likely they're going to be too motivated to fix this.
Frankly I think we're out of luck. I'm back now to the battery life I used to get on my nex 4 which is pretty disappointing. It may just be the price we pay for getting a device from a new hardware maker that is still finding it's feet.

Play services 7.3 is causing this problem, I believe. Did not have this issue with 5.0 and a previous version of play services.

Incredible. Yes, I will be another user basing on you for choosing "Priority-Small". This bug destroyed my battery life from 5-6 days to about 2. More than 50% reduction at the minimum.
How bad do you have to be at the QA job to select "small" priority? This needs to be TOP priority, a semi-showstopper.
Jesus, my phone's biggest strength has been wiped out and you consider this to be a small bug.
I love the Android 5 style and features, but once again upgrading has been almost a complete DOWNGRADE.
Damn.

Ever since I have updated my Sony Z2 to lollipop the battery last 1 day if i'm lucky and that is without using the phone. It used to last around 3 days before needing to be charged. Looking at the battery useage it says that the messenging service and Google services are teh biggest battery drains. I probably send 1-2 messages a day so what is happening. I charged my phone yesterday complete charge 100% at midnight. This morning I wake to 77% and no one has used my phone and it says that the messenging services have used the most battery.

"telephony: Release pending network requests when releasing a request
During system startup, a network request may move from the DctController to a network factory where it is held as a pending request until the telephony state is fully initialized.
When handling a releaseNetwork call, we must release the request from the pending queues of all network factories as well.
Without this fix, on boot it is possible for a network request to be added and thne moved to the pending queue of a network factory. Then, an attempt to release it will be a no-op instead of actually releasing the network.
The end result is that the network request will eventually be executed even though it is no longer desired.
If WiFi is connected when the request is executed, then the cellular network will get a data connection but the ConnectivityService will deem the network uneeded and kill it. After killing it, telephony will automatically reconnect the network because it (incorrectly) believes that the network is needed because it was not released when it was supposed to be."

I've been trying to find a solution to this since I updated to lollipop. My mobile data is constantly active and it is rocking my battery on the xperia z3 compact. I only get 4.5 hours of screen on time a day if I'm lucky and even when I barely use my phone I'm drained by about 9 at night. Right now google play services is eating up 29% of my battery and it's all in the background. What do I do google!?

Galaxy S4 Gt I9505 on CM 12.1 Lollipop 5.1.1
Haven't investigated which apps causing but same like a lot here feck all battery life. I've just turned off mobile date and turn on and off when out and about. I gather this should "fix" it.. I trust there will be a fix as so many people effected.
It's funny, cos I updated to fix a battery issue I was having as rooted kingo on kitkat 4.4.2 and phone kept shutting off and munching chunks of battery time on boot.
I can factory reset on 4.4.2 and I will be back to stock but I will give Lollipop another few weeks see will all the probs be ironed out. But I am thinking Kitkat is a lot more stable.. .
Also notice the top half of phone very hot.

That's it. I've gone back to kitkat for the last week and started using my nexus 4 as it was intended, like a smartphone with 3G mobile radio on all the time with timely syncs and pushes.
I'm now at peace that my phone's battery won't murdered by an innocent app that used 3G for 10 seconds and keeping the radio on for 2 hours.
For Nexus 4, try downgrading the radio firmware to .97 because .98 firmware has issues with voice calls with few custom roms I tried.

It's incredibile that this problem affects all Lollipop devices but after more than 7 months the problem is still not fixed...
If you think that this bug doesn't affect all the lollipop devices, try to see the battery stats screenshots posted in every tech blog, and you'll see that apps like Chrome Facebook Whatsapp etc drain too much battery, generally more than the active screen and this regard all Lollipop devices.
So, please Google, FIX IT! (I downgraded to KitKat and now I have 30-40% more autonomy of the battery. I loved Lollipop, but due to this problem now I hate it!)

I also experienced the problem with high mobile radio active times and high battery drain on my Sony Xperia Z3 compact since I updated to Lollipop 5.0.2 a couple of weeks ago. Usually I am within reach of a WiFi most of the day. But on 3G the problem was likely to drain typically like 5% per hour without using the phone.
But now I am wondering how strictly related the mobile radio active readings and the battery drain are. Because what I did like 3 days ago is the following: I deactivated mobile data and then used that little yellow reset button on my Xperia to turn it off. Then started it again and activated mobile data. Since that time the battery drain seems to be gone, even though I still see these ridiculous mobile radio active times. For example close to 12 hours for an app that synchronizes my calendar every 3 hours and has a CPU time of 2 minutes. But nevertheless since the last recharge 2 days ago and being on 3G all the time and with a SOT of 2 hours I lost less than 30% of battery, which seems quite ok for me and is about what I was used to from Kitkat.

Even though the mobile radio active time is still up there (in the neighborhood of hour or two for Chrome, Google Play Services, Android OS etc), the actually battery does last longer than when I downgraded to 4.4.4.
Oh, i'm also using Amplify since there is Xposed framework that works with 5.1.1 that zaps a whole lot of wakelocks and alarms. I'm also using Greenify in boost mode with Xposed donate version -- but not sure how much impact it has on battery though.

I wonder if this bug is fixed in r3 or the rom developer applied a custom fix..

@vasish, yes it's been that way for the last few days. Fingers crossed.
See if you can use Xposed + Amplify for a significant wakelock reduction/battery boost.
My custom rom needed a couple of build.prop changes for it to work and it's been flawless. So create backup before you jump.
I'm now experimenting with Power Naps. It's another Xposed module that mimics Sony's battery saving feature. I'll see how it goes.

All the mobile radio active apps seems to add up.
example full charge to 100%, let the phone idle for 5 hours, apps will start to appear in battery stats with high mobile radio active duration.
add up all the mobile radio active time from all apps that appear in battery stats, the amount will be very close or equal to 5 hours.

It could be that this bug has to do with the way Lollipop handles fast-dormancy.
FD Explained:
http://androidforums.com/threads/fast-dormancy-in-a-nutshell.674208/
It seems some people are affected and some people are not even though they have identical hardware and software. That makes no sense, there should be an external cause like network or provider. I have disabled the following application on my phone:
com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup / fast-dormacy-wakeup.apk
Apparently on sony devices this is responsible for handling fast dormancy as far as I understand. Or at least plays some part in it, after disabling it my battery life is WAY WAY WAY better than with it enabled. Still have some mobile radio active and battery is not yet as good as on KitKat but a lot better than before.
Can someone who is:
1) Affected by this bug on regular basis
2) Rooted (because I am not I can only disable the app)
3) Tech savvy
Please permanently disable fast-dormancy through maybe through the .prop file or some other proper method and see if this affects the behaviour?

I think the fast dormancy issue still remains after disabling the app. Google services and android system still have high 'mobile radio active' times but the load on the battery is way way less.
I used 10% battery overnight. Without disabling this app it consumes nearly 10% per hour. Perhaps this app just keeps the phone awake during fast roaming actions.

Can't believe it's real.
Not the first major bug that Google marks as priority small and "never" fix.
This one is unbelieveable because it makes the officials phones with the official ROM in an unusable state.
Maybe it's time for me to leave Android (what can I do with a 2 hours long battery duration and a data drain that cost me lot).

A fix doesn't even matter. For people that can't or won't root their devices getting an update for non-nexus devices would take months, if ever. Most people don't even know about this bug, they just assume it's the OEM's fault hence why Google is not rushing to fix this. But a lot will move to iOS. Strange business strategy if you ask me.

@457 Thanks for testing.
That's strange because my collegue is on UK firmware and he does not have the issue at all. His battery lasts days and screen is always on top of the usage, mobile radio active is nowhere to be seen.
I flashed stock UK firmware on my device and even if I don't install any apps or anything it already shows this bug.. Wtf, same phone, same firmware, no modifications or apps installed and I get the issue, my collegue does not..
Wtf is the difference then?! He never sees this issue and has many stuff installed on the phone. I have seen the battery graphs on his phone and they look fine.
My phone on KitKat lasts 2 days at least, lollipop I hardly make it through 1 day. Mobile radio active all the time.

As already supposed by me earlier (see #349) the mobile radio active issue and the battery drain (at least for my phone) seem to be two different things. Currently the last recharge was 4 days and 16 hours ago and I still have 25% of battery left. During that time mobile data was permanently enabled while WiFi was mostly disabled, SOT was around 2,5 hours. This battery performance is even better than what I had with KitKat. And I STILL see high mobile radio active times being reported. Actually the sum of all mobile radio active readings almost equals the total runtime.

With screen on, one percent goes every minute or so, screen off, a percent an hour.

Location on high accuracy though it makes no difference what setting location is on.Connected to wifi there is no problem with Google Play Services, the second you connect via 3G, 2G or LTE the radio is on for hours sometimes 3-4 hours. Google Play Services is totally at fault on this as it will not shut off the mobile radio once its finished its background tasks.

See screenshot below, while it doesnt *prove* that the "mobile data active" issue isnt the cause, I have a strong suspicion that it is. The app in question has been fine for a long time and suddenly its eaten ~200mb.
Just be careful if you are charged for data!

Battery was a lot better with KitKat?
If you want battery, Lollipop is not a safe update... ¿why did you say that lollipop and was going to save battery? This is not true.
And the solution is not Android M update... most of the phones are not going to be updated, so I think that you need to fix Lollipop since the 5.0 with a fix, or maybe with a update from google play store.

So I rolled back to KitKat and all was fine again. Then I started to ask around and started to find the same issue with Nexus, ZenFone, Moto G, Moto X, S5, S4 Minis, etc, etc, etc.
So if this is really a small issue, then I believe it is time to get a different company to give my money. Bye Bye Google.

This has happened within the last few days. It does not last me a working day without use. Previously lasted 3 days without use and 2 days with use (up until last week).
It is verging on making my phone unusable and certainly not "mobile". Google please sort this out immediately.

My HTC One M8 (Verizon) has been exhibiting this problem since my upgrade to Lollipop (Android 5.0.1). Before the upgrade, my battery could last 2 days. With Lollipop and normal settings and typical usage, I'm lucky to make it through one day. My K-9 Mail app has shown "mobile radio active" for up to 11 hours (& probably could go higher). Google Services can rack up 2 to 3 hours. These numbers increase even when I'm not using the phone. My current "solution" is to turn off mobile data except when I'm out and about and need that connection. At home (where I work), I have Wi-Fi. I really hope a fix is coming down the pike.

Folks this is not Google Services or K9, it just ends up they are the ones using the service, but you can have the same kind of behavior with Facebook, Messenger, Whatsapp and whatever other app you have installed. This seems to be on the Lollipop code where connections thru 3G will never close and apps keeps running over it. From my testing I didn't get the same with 2G or LTE/4G. This only happens with 3G. Sometimes I get connect to LTE and all is fine for hours but suddenly it gets down to 3G and it is where the drain issues starts.
ce...@gmail.com
I understand what you are saying, and I don't care if I'm on 2G, 3G,or 4G/LTE this issue didn't exist in KitKat 4.4.4, and the complete silence from Google on this screams loud and clear that they don't have a clue on how to fix this problem due it being 64 bit. Which is why I'm not surprised to hear that this same issue was found in the beta Android M. If the issue isn't resolved by the end of the year, I'm trading in my Galaxy S6 for the iPhone 6 Plus.

Those of you who are looking for a solution / workaround / fix without setting mobile data off or to manual sync:
** 1st Solution
1.) Go to privacy
2.) Select "show system apps" from the menu
3.) Long press "Google play services"
4.) Deny wake up & keep awake.
Problem solved!
If you get force cloeses (as I did since 5.0) try allowing the one or the other again. Works like a charm for me.
** 2. Alternative:
Disable "Location Report" in Google app. But you won't be able to find your mobile from web interface anymore.
I hope this helps you.

I just reverted my phone to CM11S in due to this bug affecting my battery life. I was quite appalled to discover that the behaviour appears to still be happening, even on the KitKat ROM. From various threads in the OnePlus forums, it appears that The most recnt versions of Google Play Services cause this (Int the thread, it was reported in 7.5.71, I have 7.5.75)
I had been wondering if this was actually a bug in the Android code, or in the Play Services code. If this is the actual source of the issue, it is both good news and bad news. The good news is that Google Play Services can be updated without reflashing the phone. The bad news is that I don't believe we have the source code, so only Google can fix it.
The other good news is that clear data for Google Play Services appears to clear up the issue, at least until the next time it is updated. I will see if it works for me in KitKat, if it does, I will go back to Lollipop and try there

And on the Moto X you can't downgrade once you've upgraded, so your phone is basically permanently broken! So glad I declined this OTA. What a representation of how effed up Android is. A bug like this (assuming it's in the underlying OS) can't be fixed without a year of OEM/carrier work, and they have little incentive to fix it since they want to sell new phones. In this case Google, in their imperial manner, hasn't even deigned to acknowledge the bug exists, so that year-long clock hasn't even started. What happens when a serious security flaw is discovered? This is Android's fatal flaw.

Hey guys, I think i might have a fix for this issue for people who have rooted phones & only want to use WIFI ONLY! Meaning this fix is useless for people who want to actually use the cell services of the phone.
Get an app called root explorer, and go to the system->priv-app folder
There you have telecom.apk, telephonyprovider.apk and teleservice.apk
Rename them to: telecom.apk.bak, telephonyprovider.apk.bak and teleservice.apk.bak
Then reboot your phone, and cell standby should be gone. I can't guarantee it will work, but it worked for me.

Rename them to: telecom.apk.bak, telephonyprovider.apk.bak and teleservice.apk.bak
Then reboot your phone, and cell standby should be gone. I can't guarantee it will work, but it worked for me.

I'll chime in as well. Nexus 5 runnint 5.1.1, completely stock. I've never seen my phone chew through battery so fast, and this issue seems to be the cause. Every internet app says it keeps the mobile radio on for gobs of time, even though I'm on wifi or haven't even used the app. My battery drains 10%/hr right now, which is WAY more than it did before.

I've executed a factory reset, but the problem persisted. I've noticed that on my device the worst mobile radio use was caused by Google Chrome, so I cleared the cache and uninstalled the updates. This solved the problem for me. I was back to 10% batery loss this night on lte, which was normal for me on lollipop before the issue.

When using WIFI, disable mobile data, shutdown and power up the phone.
My battery is GREAT now. No more "mobile radio active" at apps. It's a NEW phone.
Google Play Services: 1%
Cell standby: 1%
However, it's really boring to do that many times a day, but it's an evidence that the problem is mobile data connection being kept active even when using wifi.

Sometimes rebooting helps. But after my latest recharge (without rebooting), despite switching the phone to Airplane Mode + Wifi, the battery stats still show Cell Standby "mobile radio active" for all ~4 hours. Wifi drain doesn't even register.
I don't know if the battery monitor is just misattributing other drainage to Cell Standby, but there's no way Screen usage is that tiny.

The problem I was having was that the batter drained as a function of constant wireless or mobile data connection. If I was on 4G or 3G service, the phone was always communicating. If I was on WiFi (G or N/ac networks), the phone was constantly communicating. The only way I could get this to stop was to turn on airplane mode. Once I did this, and then turned on the WiFi, the problem started again.
The fix that ended up working for me was to change the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync settings to sync manually. I have not tried any other option besides manual (like sync every 15 minutes), but once I turned this email app push notifications off, my battery is awesome.
Settings-->Applications-->Email (Microsoft Exchange Active Sync with the red@ symbol)-->tap on your account name at the top-->Sync schedule-->Set sync schedule-->manual
This email app sync schedule was eating up my battery, along with Google Services and Google App (at times).

Horrible issue, also present on my Sony Xperia Z3 D6603, Android 5.0.2. I bought this phone especially for its great battery. Lollipop killed that. And it looks like before Google will actually care to fix this, my phone will probably be obsolete already. I wish I never upgraded to L. I can't downgrade without rooting my phone, which will mess with my phone's camera software. I've been an Android fan and all my smartphone purchases have been Android phones, but this just made me reconsider iOS for my next phone. Way to go, Google.

I hate to say this, or be a conspiracy theorist, but has anybody thought that this could be a ploy for the big boys (VZW and ATT) to force us off of our mobile data into using wifi. Normally I would say this is a crazy idea, but after so many different releases affecting so many, could this possibly be true??? The fact that it spreads across every manufacturer and device from 5.0xx to even Android M makes me believe there has to be something sinister going on behind the scenes!!! Add to this the fact that Google has not once responded and maybe this isn't so crazy after all!

I've had this issue across every device I've used with Lollipop. Nexus 5 and HTC One M7 didn't drain much on Kitkat. Nexus 5, HTC One M7, HTC One M9 all drain on every single Lollipop ROM, whether stock or otherwise. I've noticed this consistently across every Lollipop device since I usually never connect to Wifi and am always on mobile data. Battery life improves much more with Wifi, and degrades much more quickly without it.

Battery life on my Nexus 5 dropped to almost not making it through the day under the exact same conditions that KitKat would leave me about 60% battery by the time I went to hit the hay. Same programs, same sync rate, same carrier, same locations.
Only use wifi... hardly any battery drain at all with full syncing allowed.
Got a OnePlus in hopes of staying with Android. They upgraded to 5.0.x and same problems.
To have the supposedly 'more efficient' battery life with Lollipop be a bigger drain on my device(s) has me thinking of flashing KitKat back onto my Nexus. Or moving to that other phone. The one all my friends have. That has a company named after fruit.
I'm the one hold out in the group of a dozen and my battery life _used_ to be miles ahead of theirs. Now... :-(
Not happy.
Please Google figure out what is going on and fix it please.

Hey Google, if you're not going to do anything with this SMALL issue, I suggest you the best solution is produce a phone with 20,000 mah battery capacity and let it sip your bug hell away.... Sucks
How disappointing...

I've been eagerly waiting for 5.1 and then for 5.1.1 on my old Nexus 4. Nothing helped with this revolting issue that shouldn't have existed in the first place (I thought this is why we don't get instant updates, because Google does error checking). Since nothing happens on the Nexus side, clearly no hope in seeing a fix on the Xperia Z3 Compact for the life of the device... Project volta for you. And when I'm seeing articles about the M Developer Preview that just makes me laugh. It's like building a roof when you haven't finished the foundation.
Google's stupidity and reckless is pushing us to buy iPhones. Very sad but true!

Hi, my moto X 2013 (android 5.1) lasts half it used to. Now I have to charge my phone at late afternoon after 3 hours of screentime, while before it lasted me until the day after. From 36/48 to barely 18 hours of battery, with mobile cell standby that goes up to 60-70%.

Speaking as an software engineer myself (not at Google), most engineers work on tight schedules, and their performance is usually measured against new features, not fixing defects, or even communicate effectively. That has to come from management, and to persuade management, we have to start a social media campaign (i.e. tag Google execs in Google+, Tweets, Facebook posts...etc) Then the more mainstream media picks up on it, and it should finally shame Google to do something about it.
I propose a catchy hashtag, like #GDontListen and ask them to at least regularly update the public on the top 10 starred issues. It's really basic PR 101.

I have a Moto X 2nd generation with newest Lolipop. Since I installed that lolipop update I have severe Problems that the Moto X gets extremely hot sometime. Looking to the GSam battery tool the reason is clearly the android system. For me the Moto X is no mare safe with this bug since it gets so hot that I fear it will burn up one day in my bag. Beside that if the problem occurs the Moto X is from 100% down to 15% in less than 2 hours.

Moto X 2014, issue appeared shortly after 5.1 OTA from VZW.
Phone getting hot, battery draining very rapidly. Cell standby always shows up in battery usage stats as the largest consumer of power.
Wiping cache resolves the issue for some time, then it re-occurs within a couple of days. Have also experimented with force closing apps after use, and disabling location services as well, but the issue always returns.
Based on my experience with this bug, as well as the reports of many, many others, this needs to be dealt with as a high priority as it is having a major impact on the usability of the device and reflects very poorly on the Android offering. Please fix; it is clearly far beyond just a few isolated users.

Both AOSP Rom's I've installed Paranoid Android 5.1 and CM 12.1 both exhibit poor battery standby life when airplane mode is on losing up to 20% overnight. Strangely its not as bad with the radio/cell activated but still no where near as good as stock ROM. I've even tried flashing the latest 20p modem to no avail. This bug is annoying as I have to ensure phone is plugged in at night otherwise my alarm wont sound. It never happened on KitKat!

Wifi never truly turns off even with all the advanced options set correctly. Every app that uses mobile data stays running in the background. There's no real fix, I've tried heaps of things.
Great reason to shift solely to iOS. My iPhone 6 sleeps like a baby when it's not being used.
No need for us all to sit around like peasants and wait for Google to fix this issue that has been around for almost a year now. Shift to OS's that care about optimisations, that don't have random battery drains all over the place, that don't lag randomly and lag heavily over time. Shift to OS's like iOS and Microsoft.

Resolved: I have found that after Lollipop, my att note 4 generates lots of mobile data even when on wifi. I see PPP packets upload/downloading and found the following has changed:
ATT now enables VoLTE or Enhanced 4G by default. It consumes mobile data and keeps your radio active almost all the time.
Disable as follows:
From:

Android VoLTE capable devices
Tap Settings then Networks then Mobile Networks then Enhanced 4G LTE Mode.
Confirm setting is in the ON position.
If the Enhanced 4G LTE Mode is in the OFF position, then HD Voice and VoLTE are disabled.
iOS VoLTE-capable Devices
Tap Settings then Cellular then Enable LTE then VOICE & DATA to DATA ONLY.
Confirm these settings:
HD Voice On: VOICE & DATA checked
HD Voice Off: DATA ONLY checked
If Enable LTE is set to DATA ONLY, then HD Voice and VoLTE are disabled.

Somebody here must be a developer, has anybody tried to track this down? It sounds like the main problem is that when the mobile radio goes active for background processes, the system keeps it active for 5 minutes. This leads to a problem in that some other process is likely to use it within again within the 5 minutes, so it never actually turns off. There must be code that actually controls this behaviour, has anybody located it?
I have enough bugs to fix with my day job, but this doesn't seem to be getting handled by anybody else, so I might have to go on a bug hunt...

Description:
When mobile data (2G or 3G) is switched on, all the internet apps continue to consume battery and keep the mobile data active unless they are force stopped. On kitkat, this didn't happen because apps stopped using mobile data whenever their transaction was over. But here in lollipop, they don't seem to stop ever and cause a huge battery drain.

How about disabling mobile data using the quick settings? Sure, this is a bug but it's not critical because you can manually turn mobile data off and that is not difficult.
I have the Sony Xperia Z3+ and running the latest available Android version (5.0.2) and easily get a SoT of 6 - 7 hours or a StandBy of more than 48 hours (fully charged & not used but with WiFi turned on the whole time).

I am aware that this is a bug, but this also helped me A LOT!
I have found that after Lollipop, my att note 4 generates lots of mobile data even when on wifi. I see PPP packets upload/downloading and found the following has changed:
ATT now enables VoLTE or Enhanced 4G by default. It consumes mobile data and keeps your radio active almost all the time.
Disable as follows:
From:
http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB425890&cv=820
Android VoLTE capable devices
Tap Settings then Networks then Mobile Networks then Enhanced 4G LTE Mode.
Confirm setting is in the ON position.
If the Enhanced 4G LTE Mode is in the OFF position, then HD Voice and VoLTE are disabled.
iOS VoLTE-capable Devices
Tap Settings then Cellular then Enable LTE then VOICE & DATA to DATA ONLY.
Confirm these settings:
HD Voice On: VOICE & DATA checked
HD Voice Off: DATA ONLY checked
If Enable LTE is set to DATA ONLY, then HD Voice and VoLTE are disabled.

There is an easy solution to this problem. Don't update to lollipop. if you are currently on it and are rooted, revert back to kitkat. I am sorry if you own a phone that came with lollipop and there are no kitkat roms available for it or are not rooted and able to flash a kitkat rom.
Until this bug is fixed, don't "upgrade" to lollipop (or android M). Seriously, it is not worth the small additional UI speed you get with lollipop to get 30% less battery life.

That means that

2. They can't solve it because that means changing to many core routines and they are too afraid other things will go wrong.
I don't understand the phone makers: they should push Google for a solution also.

I manage 4 users with the Nexus 6 including myself and this problem has destroyed the usability of the device. I use a Note 3 in parallel which is not affected and the battery drain is so dramatic in comparison to the Note 3 it is hard to believe. I am an engineer working in the mobile space. I have a lot of devices I work with to compare and this has a very serious impact which is more dramatic depending on the apps on the device. Non-technical users are definitely taking notice and blaming it on batteries going bad. I think the priority of this bug needs to be re-evaluated.

Please fix this issue it is becoming a joke that it has taken this long to be addressed, the Google play services app listing 4hours of mobile radio active time is just sad, I wouldn't use that much mobile data activity with the screen on, let alone it being off with no actual application activity to speak of.

This is honestly getting beyond a joke, Google.
The 3100mAh battery of my OnePlus One is being totally destroyed by this. I don't pay for a mobile contract with unlimited data in order to not to use it, you know. I have to walk around with my mobile data turned off all the time. What's the point in that? It's like living in the '90s again! I want to be able to use the latest version of Android without having to worry about my phone being flat midway through the day!
Everyone I know who has updated to Android L is suffering from the exact same issue. As they're less technologically minded than some, they are blaming the issue on the batteries in their phones and considering replacing them, you are costing them money. Money they don't need to be spending! Surely this isn't a viable update for you to be sending your users?
Android L has been out for a good while now, this sort of thing should have been ironed out ages ago! Honestly, if this continues for a lot longer, then I will have to consider looking elsewhere to take my mobile custom. These issues don't exist on IOS, and whilst it lacks the customisation, at least it works! You're honestly turning my One with its massive battery into an iPhone six. FIX THIS.

How can this be considered as "small priority" ?
My Nexus 5 is barely getting an hour of screen-on time... Many apps are killing my battery because of the mobile radio staying active.
I just got the point, thank you, my next "smart"phone will be an iPhone as it's not possible to use an Android device more than a day... :(

Hi! Ever since I updated to 5.0.2 with Z2, I've been getting less battery juice than KitKat.. Sometimes my phone drains fast, but other times the battery's fine.. I once noticed Android OS taking 84% of my battery!

I originally noticed this as poor battery life on my Moto E LTE (2nd gen). When not using wifi, battery life plummeted. I assumed it was due to Location Services (non-GPS) combined with Google Services. When I disabled background cell data for Google Services, which prevents auto updating of GMail, Contacts, and most apps, the problem went away.
I assumed it was due to data transfer. But in hindsight, the amount of data being transferred was probably less than 10MB throughout the day, so it was actually caused by the Mobile Radio Active. I didn't realize that having several hours of Mobile Radio Active time over the course of one day was unusual.
Now that Google Services is disabled, the phone is usually okay. Then today I noticed it draining fast for a few hours in the morning, noticed that Android OS was dominating battery usage (as opposed to Google Play Services), saw the Mobile Radio Active time of > 8 hours in about 30 hours since last charge. That led me to this bug.
I suspect it was Whatsapp this morning, because using Whatsapp always causes data usage under "OS Services", albeit very limited. I restarted Whatsapp and it seems better.
I suspect that there is a bug that causes the Mobile Data connection to hang for several minutes or more after use, perhaps unpredictably. When you have background apps which connect repeatedly to the Internet, you dramatically increase the probability of a hung / open connection, causing the radio to stay on. Maybe if the phone sleeps while the connection is still active, it doesn't always close properly.
My phone is not rooted, and I've only owned it for a couple weeks, with about a dozen apps installed (mostly social networking). I upgraded to 5.1 a week ago. If I wasn't such a data miser (very limited prepaid plan), I would be pretty upset that any major background services caused my battery to die. I agree this should be a priority fix for 5.1. It is the biggest issue I've had with Android to date.

I have been the biggest android fanboy ever since I bought a Samsung captivate many years ago. I always derided Apple (and still do) for their UI designed for children, their non-adherence to standards, the inability to have a file manager so I can stroll through my OS, the incredibly stupid non-ability to use whatever keyboard I wanted, and many other things. I am an engineer in a large group of engineers, but I am the phone expert - the person people consult when they have phone or tablet problems, or need a recommendation for what phone to buy. I keep up with all the latest phones and OSs and read tech websites for about two hours per day. I make fun of otherwise intelligent engineers who buy apple products, asking if they are pleased with their Fisher-Price UI (our group builds simulator hardware and software including advanced user interfaces).
The other day, I was in a conference room for lunch and someone asked what large format phone they should buy - the LG G4, Oneplus Two, Note 5?. I recommended an iPhone 6+. Everyone was quiet for a few seconds with stunned looks on their faces. Then there was an outburst and confusion, laughter, and derision. I explained about this bug and how most phones with lollipop suffer it. How it will probably never be fixed and they can count on greatly decreased battery life and if they want more than 6 hours of screen time on a charge without rooting and roming a new phone, and tweaking it, the only current option is the 6+. I myself will continue to suffer with Kitkat - I would still never buy an apple product. But until this bug is fixed, I will no longer recommend android phones to friends and colleagues.

I changed my mind - I don't believe mobile radio has anything to do with it. Why? Because I saw this issue with my Note 4, but I updated my Note 12.2 to Lollipop and now I am draining under Android System and Android OS like crazy (this is a wifi-only tablet). Here's an example:
Screen:
Usage: 13%
Time on: 7h 22m
Android System:
Usage: 28%
CPU total: 3h 32m
CPU foreground: 36 sec
Stay awake: 9m
Data received via Wifi: 264
Data sent via Wifi: 304
Android OS:
Usage: 14%
CPU total: 1h 59m
Data received via Wifi: 12813
Data sent via Wifi: 9399
How is it possible that Android System is 28% compared to my 12.2" screen? Or double the percentage of Android OS, which clearly has downloaded a lot of data? There is a weird bug and it's not mobile data - and this thread will only send Google on a wild chase.

There is a way to bypass this bug.
Prerequisites:
1) Root
2) SuperSU with binaries installed
What to do:
1) Download Toggle Data 5.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-toggle-data-5-0-widget-to-toggle-t2937936 ).
Install it, run it, grant it root access and check the box that says "Allow External Acces"
2) Download Octobot's mobile radio pwn (https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/apk-octobots-mobile-radio-pwn-v1-3-1-updated-2015-08-09.323219/ ).
Turn on wifi. Install it, run it, grant it root access and click "Activate pwnag3"
This will automatically manage wifi and mobile data when you switch between the two, thus not trigering the bug.
Tested by me on a moto g 2014 with cm 12.1 and working flawlessly.

But hey, I shouldn't complain. Priority is "Small", so the problem can't be that serious, right? And of course I could just run around all day with an external battery attached, no big deal. Almost no one seems to be affected except for the THOUSANDS of users.
I don't know what's worse - the bug itself or the ignorance from Google. I paid for a phone, what I have at the moment is a mobile hand warmer because it even heats up while it is lying around. Ok, winter is coming, maybe not so bad.

Hi all,
I own a Nexus 4 and since 5.X.X update I started suffering this issue. I decided to downgrade to KitKat and it was there too!. I've gone mad trying 4.4.4, 5.0.1 amd 5.1.1 stock roms, I tried custom ROMS (CM 11, CM 12.1, Chroma ROM). The issue is because of Google (Play) Services. How did I get rid of it and recover my battery life (even longer): Install CM 12.1 without GAPPs. Since Google refuses to support on this issue, specially for "old" phones like mine, it seems to me they deserve to be left aside.
Yoy pay some price, some Google Apps will not work (Play Store, Gmail, YouTube, Drive), but others will, the most important ones in my opinion, that will provide the lost functionality (Chrome, Maps), and you can retain most functionality you can definitely live without them. You will have to work a bit, but the result will be peace of mind and a phone truly under your control.

High priority should be every bug which makes customers switch brand of phone or move to iOS or Windows platform. It's exactly what i've been considering more and more often because of this persisting 'low priority' bug.
zi...@gmail.com
"Unfortunately our bug is low priority as you can still use the device, just more frequent charging."
That needs to change! If someone needs proof, direct them to this bug report! :) People expect their phones not to suddenly start dying in half or a quarter of the time. If there is not a reasonable work-around, then it should be a high priority bug.
I realize it's easier to just blame some other apps than investigate, but there has to be a point where it is looked at much sooner than it has been with this bug. Providing better debug options so that users can more easily pin-point and prove that it's not an app causing the problem would be a huge help.

This bug is so annoying. I wasted so much time to find a reason for the rapid battery drain, removed apps, even factory reset my phone - just to find out, that Google knows about it and ignores these reports here for more than five months. Besides security fixes, what can be more important for a mobile devices, than battery life? I don't need new fancy features so urgent, but a stable, usable and secure phone is essential.

It's already too late. I bought a windows phone and decided I will never buy an android phone again. Android support is the worst, it literally took months to even start to fix this CRITICAL issue. This issue is critical, since my phone gets drained by the end of day so it will become unusable!!! It is a show stopping, critical, huge issue and not freaking 'small' priority. My guess, the same will happen in the future to all other android bugs which hasn't been discovered yet.
You have just lost a lot of Android users because of this bug (I know several people who already switched to iphone or windows because of this).

My Nexus 6 was fully charged last night. Woke up this morning to a Low Battery Warning? The battery completely discharged over night while the phone was on standby.

Like others, I have a 2013 Moto X that was just upgraded to Lollipop. As you can see from a simple Google search, this issue affects many different phones, so it is clearly a software issue.
Android continues to be plagued by irritating issues with battery drains, wakelocks, etc. Chief among these are Google's own apps, such as the myriad problems with Google Play Services. I don't get why this is so complicated. Google employees must use Android phones, so they should know this is an issue.
I was going to get the new Nexus, but I am now seriously considering just switching to an iPhone to avoid the headache. It's just not worth it playing roulette and hoping that you get a device that is unaffected. I don't have time to babysit my phone's battery.

Again, it's unlikely lollipop users will get the bug fixed during this period since Google is busy with earning profit. Maybe in a month or two? But as I said, don't put too much hope.

Lollipop is absolutely the worst Android version. Battery drains like crazy. Just look at the screenshots. It was like this on 5.0.2, and it is like this now on 5.1.1. After 5 years of using Android, I'm seriously thinking of switching to iOS. The worst is that Google doesn't seem to care about fixing this on Lollipop.

This problem has risen it's ugly head on my phone as well recently (moto g 2014).
It is surprising to me as well that google considers this a small issue (maybe the percentage of users affected is considered to be negligable).
Google should fix this problem as it makes phones far less mobile (almost redundant thus). As I do not want to go to IOS or Windows phone, I would consider a dumb phone again, and that is an improvement on Android!

I'm also facing a severe battery drainage issue after updating my Xperia ZR to 5.1.1. I figured out that the 'Mobile Radio Active' is the culprit. Facebook Application and other applications are keeping 'Mobile Radio Active' for a very very long time. When will this be fixed? I heard this will be fixed in Android M then what will happen to those who wont be getting Android M on their phones? I think Google should scrap 5.1.1 if they cant fix this issue in this version only.

I'll admit, it's not as bad as it was in 5.1.1; however, this issue shouldn't be present at all.

bq Aquaris E5 LTE, not rootet
With android KitKat my battery lasts at least three or four days. Since I have upgraded my phone from KitKat to 5.0.2 it doesn't last 24 hours.
Android OS and Android System are the main consumers. The interesting part is, mobile data connection hasn't to be enabled for this. Even when using wifi or at night when no mobile data connection and no Wifi are activated, the battery drops at an insane speed.
What is more, if I click on the battery graph to get the details about mobile connection, wifi, display activity and so on, I see that my phone is active (the active indicator) about 95-99% of the time. As far as I know, the phone shouldn't be active most of the time when I am not using it and no app is requesting some data from the internet. But also in flight mode without wifi activated the phone stands active all the night.
This needs half as much battery than having two SIM-cards without mobile data connection online all the night in android 4. If I am not in flight mode, the mobile stand-by doesn't need much battery, but the active Android OS and Android System consume a giant amount of energy.
It seems that this major error isn't fixed for quite a long time. Fortunately bq gives me an option to downgrade my phone back to KitKat. I will use this function.

So the 6.0 Marshmallow is just a minor update to Lollipop. Nothing has been really changed/improved. As far as I see the battery life is gotten worse. No wonder Iphones are selling like crazy.

2013 Moto X is completely unusable after updating to Lollipop, and yes, I did a factory reset. Cell standby burning through the battery, showing 50-60% battery usage.
Interestingly, I am NOT seeing this issue on my Nexus 6 running the Android 6.0 build released on Monday.

Same issue. Galaxy S4 I9506 after update to 5.0.1. The battery life has extremely fallen.
When mobile data are on the Google Play Services drain the battery as hell.
It's ridiculous that my phone lost 20% of battery overnight and since the last charge the Play Services drained almost the half of all the consumed energy...
On 4.2.2 when i took the phone off the charger I had about 65-70 percent of the battery after 10 hours when mobile data was on. Now after updated to 5.0.1 my battery is about 45-50 percent.
There are also more bugs that irritate me so I'll downgrade to 4.2.2. Don't believe there will be any update to Android 6 for this model so there's no way to leave the buggy 5.0.1 running.

@ #1104: The xposed module you mention does NOT fix the bug. It just masks the problem. The "fix" has been discussed here before and in other forums, too.
@ Google: Take your time, don't hurry! The issue was reported in april (!) and you acknowleged it as a defect in september (!!). So I think we can expect a solution in maybe 01/2016? Great, looking forward! Oh wait, my Nexus 4 won't (officially) receive the bugfix anyway, I suppose. So I will just buy a new Nexus 6 then. Not.
Sorry, the only way left for me to deal with this is sarcasm. As I mentioned already - this is ridiculous and you should be ashamed.

Moto X (first gen) with the same cell standby problem -Used to go all day without a charge - now with no real usage, need to recharge during the day (51% cell standby). It took Verizon an extra year to jam Lollipop on my phone and make battery usage much worse.
Really not cool that there is no plan to fix the bug for Moto X (first gen), but only in Marshmallow which is not slated to be released for the Moto X (first gen). Please work on a Lollipop patch and don't abandon the buyers of what at the time was a Google phone.

Once you have a rom (or the xposed module) that addresses the mobile radio active reporting issue, the same apps appear to still use a ton of battery. It seems to help a bit to use Privacy Guard to deny some services and apps permissions to do things like Wake Up and Stay Awake. However, what I don't understand is why Google Play Services still wants to check my location 200 times per hour (including when Location Services is turned off), wake up my phone 100 times per hour, or read my SMS DB 2000 times (yes, two thousand times) per hour considering I have Messaging frozen and use another SMS app.

I would just downgrade to 4.4.4 but the VZW version of the motox 2013 has a completely locked bootloader.

This is the end of android for me. This battery drain issue has made my galaxy S6 useless. Been android+galaxy fan since Infuse days and always loved the tinkering and customization you can do with android. But this battery issue has made android unusable especially when it has dragged on for so long. I spent several months trying to figure out what is causing battery drain. Did detailed analysis of battery consumption on hour-by-hour basis with different settings/apps/usage/network etc. Basically, it boils down to bug(s) in android that cause android system, android OS, cell standby and google services to use up bulk of the battery even when there are no apps installed. You can take care of of some drain accounted under google services and cell standby by turning off background data for google services but it will make some apps like Whatsapp not get push notifications. I solved it by using apps like Tasker to keep stopping/starting whatsapp every 10 mins. In fact, I turned off background data for all the apps. This also reduces battery drain for android system and OS. Unfortunately, it looks like system calls are recorded under OS battery usage instead of the calling app so it is not easy to find out which app was hung using the radio. Next, I stopped using email clients like gmail, samsung native email etc. even in manual sync mode. This reduces android system and OS battery even more. Now I am down to 2%/hour drain without using the phone, only whatsapp installed (that too without push notification) and no email client. Even then sometimes in the middle of night, the phone goes crazy and eats up battery under system and OS.
You can't blame a specific app or phone manufacturer for this issue. Google has gone way too far messing with android in order to keep track of user activity. You'll be blind to not see the conflict of interest where your OS provider also wants to know when you take a dump and how much toilet paper you use. Google's livelihood depends on that. Google has removed all the features that differentiated it from iOS. Now there is no way to disable background data globally, 3rd party apps cannot toggle data, airplane mode etc, locked bootloaders on some vendors, knox like software to kill your warranty etc. Thankfully, android is not the only choice. Bye bye android.

Seriously, VZW, Samsung and Google are all pointing fingers at each other, one says it's software, one says it's hardware and at the end of the day VZW just wants you to do a factory reset and then send you another certified factory broken replacement phone that has the same issue.

In Android Marshmallow this bug is fixed. It's completely normal that apps are keeping mobile radio active for a while and of course this is draining your battery to some extent. This just has never been shown in battery statistics previous to Lollipop. Back in the days on my Galaxy S2, the standby drain was horrible - without many wakelocks. Tbe reason: the mobile radio.
da...@gmail.com
I did a test with latest cm 12.1 on my moto g 2014. Left the phone during night on 3g over a period of 10 hours and i lost 5%. Still higher than kitkat, but not as high as i imagined. The battery stats on the other hand are all over the place and just wrong. 30 min of onscreen time account for just 1%(but the battery droped the fastest when i was using the screen as was expected) and google play services for 6% so there´s definitely something wrong with how android displays the stats. My theory is that there´s a major drain for some users, not so much for others, but we all suffer from horrible battery stats; at least us here with this problem.

@1149: are you sure the bug is fixed on M? I still read a lot of reports saying it is not, i.e. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=190396
And it is absolutly not normal that an app keeps mobile radio active for hours when used only for seconds. It could be only an error in the stats, which is what the Xposed module seems to address, but solving that error many users report to have a lot of consuption made by "other sources" (not identified in stats).
The fact is that now with KitKat I can charge the phone every 2 or even 3 days; with the same phone with Lollipop I must charge it more than once a day, with the same usage (which is without WiFi). As soon as I can try Marshmallow I will, but I do not have any hope.

This is ridiculous. I just left my phone on my desk, 100% charged, strong Wi-Fi, no usage, screen off and came back to find it completely dead due to mobile radio active. This NEVER happened on Kit-Kat. My family's other two devices Moto G and Moto X also have the same/similar problems ever since Lollipop.
Stock Gen 1 Moto X, Lollipop 5.1,222.26.7.ghost_att.ATT.en.US .
It doesn't happen every time, but often enough to be a MAJOR problem. I can no longer count on my phone to be working, even in an emergency! This is /not/ a "small" priority issue by any reasonable definition. I cannot roll back to Kit-Kat because AT&T prevents bootloader unlock, and this device isn't going to get Marshmallow (as far as I know), so it _really_ needs to be fixed on Lollipop!
Since it doesn't always happen, there must be some condition or event that triggers it to stay awake and with mobile radio active until either I notice and reboot it, or it dies, but I haven't isolated it yet, it seems random. I already tried all the usual "fixes" which only helped a little bit (even uninstalled Facebook, etc after wipe cache partition and so forth). The underlying problem still remains and is a big problem. I have literally started looking at pricing out iPhones now, which I never thought I'd even _consider_ before under any circumstances.

Xperia z1 here. Updated to 5.1.1 and thought my battery was shot by coincidence the next day until I stumbled across this forum. Battery drains by mid morning on a normal day at work where as prior to the update it would last 1.5 days of heavy use! Phone is 2 years old. Ordering a lumia if this issue isn't fixed by mid December when they are released because I believe that having this as low priority bug is a poor attitude from google!

I started encountering this issue yesterday with my Moto X and charged my phone overnight, and in the middle of the day today while at work since it dropped to 14% by 1 pm. And now the battery is again down to 34%. (*actually now 32% after I've taken the screenshot and written this post...) All with very minimal use. I cannot live with a phone that needs a constant charge. The culprit is "Android OS" which apparently has used 108% of my battery (I assume this means for the day, not since last full charge?) which is absolutely unacceptable. Nearly 10 hours has been devoted to mobile radio active, which I believe is the root of everyone's problem here. Please please be responsible to your customers google and fix this bug.

I am experiencing the same issue on my Moto X 2014. My wife has a Moto G 2nd gen and she has no problems, her phone works fine. I have looked everywhere to fix this issue but I couldn't find a real solution. But i have discovered some workarounds that have slowed down the battery drain:
- Enable "Keep WI-FI on during sleep" and set it on always. When this is on, your phone won't switch to mobile data when it goes to sleep and drain your battery. This only of course works when you are having a WI-FI connecten.
- Go from 3g/4g to 2g. I know this isn't a real solution for a lot of people. But I use my phone especially for whatsapp and other messaging apps, so this isn't a big deal for me. Using 2g will really improve your battery life.
- Use Spotify in offline mode, this will stop Spotify from using mobile data and draining your battery even when you are not using Spotify.
It is pretty sad that we need to use all these workarounds. Hopefully Google will fix this issue soon...

I know in Android 6 this problem has been solved, but Sony will not upgrade older Xperia Z phones to Android 6. So, i hope you will fix this bug in 5.1.1 too, as soon as possible.

Was able to finally get rid of this ridiculous battery drain as explained above in various other posts that seems mainly caused by Google Services process after Android 6.0 upgrade:
Deactivate the standard location settings (including "energy saving"... haha!) and ONLY activate "GPS" to determine device location.
At least this is a workaround that worked for me after spending hours to analyze & determine the root cause on such a "consumer device" (Nexus 5, Marshmallow)! Now all battery stats are back to normal... even Doze seems to finally work again as expected/implemented...

Looks like in the areas where there is weak signal or no signal at all, Android will increase power to search for the Cellular Networks, as a result power consumption increases tremendously. And even worst for users without any Data Plan supported, only using Call/Text plan and of course Wi-Fi.
Suggestion for users in the meantime while waiting for a permanent fix by Google:
Turn off Cellular Data (they said Mobile Data or Mobile Network in some Android older versions) when you decide to stop using your Smartphone, and turn it back on when you start using it again. This way will save the battery life since no waste of power for searching Cellular Networks on Standby.
To do so:
- Go to Settings
- Data usage
- Click on CELLULAR Tap and look for Cellular data (Turn it On/Off)
Suggestion algorithm for software fix:

Please do a careful comparison of your phone setup and your Mother's. Is there anything you deleted (or perhaps installed) that she did not? Is cell and/or wifi signal level similar for both of you? If not, compare battery performance on a day when you're together for a few hours.

On my brand new Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo (Android 5.1.1): about 25% battery load wasted in a few minutes ad hoc (usually once per day), with Google Services showing hours of connection time and reclaiming up to 19% of battery usage. The phone's config is very conservative concerning battery and mobile data usage. No Facebook, no whatsapp, no location services, no automatic synching, just email and firefox.
A few days ago I enjoyed a single unflawed usage cycle - the phone lasted for four(sic!) days and probably would have made it over a fifth day. Ha!
As we see, this issue is open for about half of a year now and AFAIK Android users are still waiting for a confirmation, that this thing will be sorted out for Lollipop users. My S5 Neo will be blessed with a Marshmellow update at some day in the future, but what about those users whose devices won't? What a shame!

Confirm too: Bug is STILL PRESENT on Android 6.0. Verified on an LG G3.
Solution: Going back to Kitkat?
Can't understand why
a) bug was not fixed by updates in Android 5 (where it occured)
b) bug is still present in Android 6.
This ist REALLY disappointing.

I think the reason network data stays on in lollipop is that if u remember the permissions u were asked for before you can download an app, all these permissions are now used to gather information about every android user on planet so that a major app can b developed like that 'gods eye' program in the movie fast and furious 7.

I used Wakelock detector without root (links below) to observe why Android System uses so much battery.
I see either or both of these consuming almost all of the battery:
1) diagnostics.client.wakelock
2) LocationService
After a reboot, LocationService subsided, but i had to force stop Android System->IQ Agent Service (under the Running tab of Applications Manager) to stop the diagnostics.client.wakelock. The Report Diagnostic Info setting was already disabled under About Device, yet this service continues to run. After force closing, eventually the diagnostic service will begin running again and Android System will use up more battery than Screen. This was not the case in KK.

So, actually found 2 Apps on Marshmallow MMB29P which produce the mobile radio interface bug!!!
One of them is Chrome. The other one is Metal, a Facebook mobile webpage client.
Let me Explain why i list chrome here.
As Metal produces me battery drain through an working radio interface even in Sleep mode (Display off)https://goo.gl/photos/S9Y5SjW7xrzezYaZ7
i tried it with chrome. as i linked into a complex page for example facebook in chrome and put it in the background chrome produces the same bug. mobile radio interface was hold open and chrome uses much more battery as it would without a complex page opened.
So i think this shouldn't be only a problem from AOSP Team. Also the Webpage devs should develop their sites correctly, but chrome should be in state where it can handle/block requests from mobile sites when resting in background.

I have found nearly a 1:1 correlation between Google Services wakelocks and Android System->diagnostics.client.wakelock (ie the wake time is nearly identical).
On my Note 4 (AT&T), I tried this and for the first time since Lollipop, Android System did not become the highest consumer of power under battery stats. Screen and Cell Standby have the highest usage, and my battery is NOT running down quickly:
1) I switched from LTE to 4G by using *#*#4636#*#* and selecting Device Information and changing preferred network type from LTE/GSM to WCDMA Preferred (this won't survive a reboot though)
2) I disabled Enhanced 4G LTE Services under Settings->More Networks->Mobile Networks->Mobile Data

Sony Xperia ZR 5.1.1 - Mobile radio active bug is pretty much destroying my battery. I can easily pull 6h SoT without having mobile data enabled (required phone restart after using mobile data and turning it off to stop mobile radio active), but after using mobile data (without phone restart) I can barely pull 3h SoT.
Even if I switch to WiFi, mobile radio active is still active and "going".
I cannot believe Google still hasn't fixed this and I think it's very lame to restart you phone like 5 times a day because of nasty bug.
Google has pretty much the worst Quality Assurance testers (if any) on their team when it comes to an android development...
I think I'll rather switch to an Apple than to restart my phone X times a day.

Moto X 2013 VZW reporting in. I have the same issue and I have tried every solution I could find on the internet. I was totally happy with my phone until I upgraded the software to Lollypop, now the battery drain is a constant pain in my ass every day. I can't downgrade back to a working version and I've lost hope of getting another update. I am stuck with it. I guess it's time to pull the trigger on a new phone.
For the first time, I will be buying a new phone not because I broke it, but because the makers did. They broke it just enough to convince me to keep using it and try to live with the problems, resulting in frustration on a daily basis. iPhone is looking like a good idea now.

Had the same issue with my Z1 Compact. The problem with 30% shutdown is a faulty/partly broken battery. That issue is not related to software but to hardware, the only solution is to change battery to a new one. Help my issues. As for the mobile radio active I've not reverted back to 4.4.4, no more battery drain issues. I can use the phone for a whole day with high use without any problems, compared to half a day with 5.1.1.

Hi all,
My BQ Aquaris M5 was fine until it updated to 5.1.1 - battery life was good.
After the upgrade the battery life more than halved.
I took the phone back to where I brought it - a Movistar shop in Spain.
The guy said "ah, that problem!" (but in Spanish!)
He did a complete backup, then removed the two sims and the memory card.
After that he did a factory reset, updated apps and inserted the sim cards.
Before inserting the memory card he formatted it on a PC.
Inserted the memory card and restored my data.
Hey presto my battery life is back to normal.
May not be the solution for everyone but it worked for me...

I had an old Apple iPod Touch to supplement a basic phone from my job for years. When I finally decided to buy my own phone, I went with the Note 5. I didn't like the way Apple controlled everything. Now that I've been with Android for a few months, I appreciate Apple more. For instance, most of the Android apps force you to give up any semblance of privacy, with a take it or leave it stance (why does a carpenter's level need access to my, Device and app history, location, photos/media/files/Wi-Fi Connction information and Device ID and call information???) Apple apps were less invasive, with a la carte choices after the fact re. what you allowed.
This ongoing battery issue is the icing on the cake. About the only thing I would miss if I went to an iPhone is my stylus, at this point.

Sadly, it seems Lollipop is becoming the "Windows ME" of Android. It's has an absolute showstopper issue that makes it nearly unusable for literally _thousands_ of people with different phones, carriers, apps, and usage patterns, and yet Google is (apparently) still unwilling or unable to fix it, even *10 months* later, and with ample data provided by numerous different users.
I'll admit that some of the comments here are probably for different, unrelated battery life issues, but the majority of us really do have a huge problem with the mobile radio staying active when it shouldn't, and killing battery life, as a direct result of the update from Kit Kat to Lollipop. We've tried the typical "fixes" without success (the issue randomly comes back), and some of the potential workarounds are extremely tedious and unsustainable (like rebooting every time to switch between mobile and wifi, and then waiting for it to "optimize" endlessly).
Further, some of us are permanently stuck on Lollipop because of older hardware and locked bootloader. As a result, we cannot roll back to Kit Kat nor forward to Marshmallow. WE ARE FORCED TO BUY A NEW PHONE BECAUSE OF A GOOGLE UPDATE! Keep in mind, that makes the other non-Android options look a whole lot more attractive to a large group of potential buyers.
I've already posted battery graphs showing my stock Moto X draining from full charge to nothing in about 4 hours while SITTING ON MY DESK UNUSED with a strong Wi-Fi signal the whole time, and yet mobile radio was inexplicably still active and killed the battery. If that's not a clear enough indication of an actual OS issue, I don't know what is. It acts like a broken state-machine. Did Toyota program the mobile radio management code or something? :-/
And @1312 - The "reason" it stays active is because the OS is BROKEN. Even if it actually were some specific third-party app causing it (which, by the way, it's not), the OS should never allow that to happen, especially when you have a full Wifi signal. Combine that with the various constantly restarting app issues, Wifi issues, heating and lag, and other problems common on Lollipop that the OS should be able to prevent but doesn't, and you end up with a completely unreliable phone that you can pull out of your pocket not long after a full charge, and with no usage, and find it dead.

Cell standby/ mobile radio uses more battery than anything else. With my screen shut off I'm still draining 5-10%an hour in power save mode. 5 hour battery time with minimal usage is awful. I am honestly considering switching to Apple just to have a phone that lasts.

I haven´t checked if I have same battery drain issue with my Z3 Compact, but I have this issue on my default phone which is Xperia Z1. It has lost all of it´s power from 60% in 2 minutes without data enabled I just rebooted the phone and it was dead. Has happened a few times now.

I have a Samsung S6 and after android update (marshmallow) my battery is drain very fast. The cell standby apear in battery usage with a procent of 35%. I let my phone over night with a 70% battery, and after 6-7 hours when i wae up...i have 14% battery, this is annoying. I close the data and wifi, but the problem persists. Please fix this bug !!!

What is radio active? I recently bought a BQ M5 for my father and he is finding that the battery drains in a day without using any internet. I have checked the settings to ensure that it is not using battery unnecessarily. Is it a fault with the phone or is this a software issue...i am a bit blonde when it comes to technology. We all have the same phone but he is the only one experiencing this problem.

Why does the owner of this issue (dnaga) keeps silent and doesnt give us an explanation as in why Google refuses to solve this big -and not small - issue?
Even new phones won't last more then a Day due to Google Services consuming more then they should.
Doze is just a stop gap which only works while not moving... So leave your MOBILE at home...
They just ignore us in the hope this dies out as phonemakers put larger batteries in their phone.

I have been fighting this issue since my carrier forced an update. Went from 5 days standby (I am not a Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, or any other web addict). But on v4.4 I had 4 to 5 days without charging... sometimes as many as 7 days.
With Android 5.1 I am lucky to get 24 HOURS of standby. Even using battery saver and airplane mode doesn't help... Google OS or Google Play Services are at the top of the usage at together sum to over 50% of battery consumption. This morning when I unplugged the charger and checked the battery meter, I saw a whopping 4 Hours remaining at 100% charged; make that 98%... no, 97%... hmm... 96%. LMAO. No - this isn't a serious bug.

Can anyone comment if they had cell network provider limits on their account?
My daughter ran into this issue about same time as the cell provider data limit kicked in
I'm thinking phone might keep re-sending network packets which are ignored by the network because of data limit
If so this would keep the radio active until the app gives up (if ever) - and her radio active time is HUGE and of course battery drain

Have had the 5.1.1 update for a while now without problem. This battery drain started a week or so ago maybe. I thought my battery was the problem as I have had my Z2 for 2 years now. I bought a new battery and still the problem persists.
I am going to try disabling mobile data when im not using the phone as some people suggest in the above posts to see if it helps as a short term fix. I have noticed in my battery usage statistics that it shows my wifi as being always on since last 100% charge when infact I have had it off the whole time :S
I use my phone frequently throughout the day and would usually have around 30/40% left when I get home. I make it to around 3PM and its totally dead.
Will monitor this over the next few days.

Hi All,
Mobile Radio Active Bug is the worst bug introduced by Google in Lollipop and Marshmallow.
It activates when a user switched on the Mobile data and will remain active unless user switches off the data or come on Wifi.
All the devices facing this problem and it causes a huge battery drain.
So,i wanted to ask will there ever be an official fix from google or not?

Upgraded my LG G3 from 5.0 to 6.0 and spent the last days scratching my head why the battery drains so fast, until I found this thread. On 5.0 the phone used 1-2 % of battery life over night. With 6.0 around 20 % drain. The first night after the update the phone went to zero and switched off during the night. That was the first time in two years with the phone! With 5.0 the phone worked for several days for me (light user) but now I have to charge it every day. Priority - Small, Yeah right!

Hi there,
Still having fun with mobile radio for over a year now ?
Still enjoying turning mobile data off all the time just to try to make your battery last a day ?
Well I personnaly LOVE spending hours monitoring battery stats, inspecting wakelocks, disabling as much shit as I can, instaling Greenify, etc.
Google said that they MAY try to fix this issue when this thread'll reach 1 500 comments !!!
PLEASE Google, don't !
What will I do of my life then ???
Ok, I'm out.

This is crazy. I didn't update my Z1 Compact until recently — and I regret so much I finally did!
Now two months after the update it looks like my battery is physically damaged already, because it goes down to zero from any charge level in a second (vertical, no slope in the graph).
This damn thing is no longer mobile as I have chargers at my bed, my work desk and in my car, otherwise I cant be sure my phone doesn't turn off any given moment. Today it turned off after being charged all night just fifteen minutes after I've unplugged it when I was reading morning news in the loo!
This thread is a huge shock — I can't beleive this is a well known problem for over a year and still nothing done about it?
Small problem WTF???

Moto X Play here, after some time with CM12.1 this issued appeared for me. In battery stats I get Whatsapp on top (as high as 30%) followed by cell standby. Battery reduced from 2-3 days to 1 day. This happens only on LTE/3G mobile data and not a mAh is used on WiFi. Not knowing what the problem was I decided to try out CM 13, so I flashed it and boom, issue remained. So I wiped partition thinking maybe there was a corrupted file or something but...nope, still there. I cannot believe this is small priority after an year of complaints and after the same problem being in 2 different updates of android. Thank you google (not) for helping us!

Have found a quick fix which helped me:
I have a rooted Motorola G3 2015 Osprey running CM13. In my case the problem was triggered randomly when having mobile data on (3G or LTE) and using the phone or texting. The battery consumption increased making the battery last roughly one day in total. I solved the problem by:
- Installing the app Servicely
- Settings within the app: Start on boot = on, Free Pro version =on
- In Servicely add Google Play Services to the Hitlist
Have read, but not tried, that for a non rooted phone setting background data to off could help.

I too have a similar problem, altho it does not involve any recent versions of Android. I have an admittedly old Galaxy S2 running Android 4.0.4 (unable to upgrade).
About two weeks ago (same time frame as a friend of mine on a different, newer phone) the battery draining jumped dramatically -- a fully charge battery would discharge in 2-3 hours, having done nothing but checking email and texts, heating up to where it was almost too hot to have in my pocket.
Having read most of this problem thread and running such things as GSam Battery Monitor and OS Monitor, it became apparent that Google Play Services (GPS) was the culprit, consuming up to 90% of the cpu usage. So I decided to do the factory-reset approach (really had nothing to lose) and try a few things.
After doing a reset, Settings/Applications (S/A) showed that GPS was not yet installed. After an hour of doing nothing but some emails and texts, the battery and cpu usage were negligible and the unit remained cool. I installed a single app from the Play Store (GSam) and S/A now showed that GPS had also been installed, without notice and without concurrence. Almost immediately battery and cpu usage, primarily by GPS, were significant, and the unit's temperature increased to 114-117 degrees (F).
Since GPS was a downloaded app, not a factory installed app, S/A let me uninstalled GPS. Immediately battery and cpu usage plummeted and unit started to gradually cool. Same sequence when a second app was installed, along with GPS, then GPS uninstalled. However, when a third app was installed and GPS subsequently uninstalled, battery and cpu usage remained high, this time with Google Services being the identified app (not GPS). Evidently simply uninstalling GPS isn't the sole, clean answer (am perfectly willing to do that after installing an app, if that would always work).
Any other ideas, other than going the iPhone route? (Will try the sequences again, this time restarting the phone immediately after uninstalling GPS to see if that helps.)

Tried the sequence, no change. However, yesterday, things suddenly started working correctly. It happened after I allowed several app updates to occur (they showed up for the first time), include several of the Google Play apps. Now cpu usage is nominal, battery lasting all day, Google Services cpu usage less than 2%, waitlock about 1%. No problems for two days, will keep my fingers crossed. Maybe they finally fixed it????

All my Google information (Google Photos, Google Drive, Gmail, Hangouts etc)was seamlessly moved and I bought a waterproof case for the iPhone.
Sadly, I must say goodbye to Android. Happily I am a IOS user now.

After some investigation on the issue I found that the BatteryStats service was not receiving the radio power down notification. The investigation lead me to the NetworkManagementService.java, where I found that some code was discarding the radio power change notifications after the first radio power on.
The problem is that in NetworkManagementServer.java the notifyInterfaceClassActivity method is discarding the notifications of radio power change to the BatteryStats (via noteMobileRadioPowerState) if the fromRadio parameter is false after it’s being true some time before.
Even after a detailed analysis, it was unclear what is the real role of the fromRadio parameter. Changing it to true in the calling methods solved the issue in the testing unit (Sony Xperia ZL).

Long story short:
Bought Galaxys S5 (unlocked from AT&T), had the same issue as described here: battery drained 15-20% per hour without touching the phone, it had all features disabled, but Wi-Fi On only.
After doing reasearch on-line there are many ways to solve it, but most all of them requiring phone to be rooted which is not an option for me since it can't be rooted.
According to my battery statistics it is mainly drained by Google Play/Google Play Service, although I tend to think that actually this is in a combination with Google Service and Wi-Fi connectivity together, since with Wi-Fi off battery is OK.
I even replace my phone (on warranty) to make sure is not the battery issue itself (it wasn't). After a long troubleshooting I've combined all workarounds from the web here is what you need to do to solve it (at least it helped me):
1. Restore: Factory reset (do not log with you google account after reset)
2. Wiped the partition cache (http://www.urtech.ca/2015/09/solved-what-does-wipe-the-cache-partition-do-on-android-devices-like-the-galaxy-s6/ )
3. Go to wifi - advanced - uncheck smart network switch.
4. Disable Adapt display - make it standard for example.
5. Disabling Google + and uninstalling it's updates.
6. Uninstall / do not install Facebook messenger
7. MOST IMPORTANT: Log IN into Play Store with your google account and install all Apps that you might need and log OUT from your google account in this way your battery will be back!

My Sony Xperia Z1 has turned almost useless with Google Play Services apparently eating up the battery. I see a lot of work-around on this page, but Google need to fix this immediately if they don't want everybody to go for iPhone. Can't expect mobile phone manufacturers to support new main releases of Android on older phone models. So this bug need to be fixed in existing Android releases.

Once I switch to 2.4GHz my phone is just amazing.
It keeped the battery at 13% for 1 hour.

I dont know if this is the same problem but, In the past month Id say my galaxy s6 has this problem where if I have 4g turned on and a google chrome running the battery will a lot of times start draining, losing like 1% every 30 to 60 seconds, sometimes faster. Even with a charger cable plugged in the battery will lose 1% every 2 minutes. The back of the phone will start getting abnormally warm, not like hot, just warm. And the phone in general starts running really slow. Even if the screen goes black from inactivity when I hit the power button it may take a minute for the security draw pattern I setup to show up.
If I turn off 4g and completely close all my chrome pages then it goes back to normal. I tried closing everything, restarting my phone and turning the 4g on but not using any apps or opening chrome and it was fine with no power loss for like a half hour.
Up till recently Ive never had a problem with it. I tried to factory reset the phone and only loaded just some basic apps from play store and a couple games off it, nothing I havent been using for a year now with no problems. I run it always in power saver mode. But Im still having this issue.

This is ridiculous. The second most starred issue, tons of news coverage on tech websites and this issue is prioritized "small"?

z1 compact on 5.1.1 - I should have known better and could bite myself that I went from (rooted) 4.4 to 5.1.1: Battery life is from approx 1.5 days down to 6 hours on a good day, with the last 35-30% disappearing within seconds, and phone shutting down without advance warning.
Google's stance is arrogant and highly objectionable - priority "small" is a joke when a major deficiency is known for over 12 months and not fixed.
Fascinating sidenote:
search for "battery drain lollipop" on google: 247,000 hits (Oct 16).
Search on bing: 481,000 hits.
Surpressing some results perhaps?
Greed is bad, Google. And users are not immune to switch – they may vote with their feet and wallets.

Nexus 5 6.0.1 on October patch here. I found work-around:
0) unlock bootloader
1) flash latest factory image
2) flash radio-hammerhead-m8974a-1.0.25.0.23.img
3) factory reset
Use at Your own risk!
Battery life in standby is MUCH better (like 2-3x better) for me, than when using radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.x.xx.x.xx.img.
I know Google will never fix it, but if u have battery drain, u may try it.
I believe device have battery life similar to 4.4 after downgrade radio.
Similar workaround may be applied to other Nexus devices. Don't know about non-Nexus.
But in a lot of cases You can use any radio firmware with any ROM. Of course it's good idea to use radio firmware which has better battery life. I don't know who's fucked up here: AOSP or Google or maybe Qualcomm, but anyway just shared my experience with anyone who trying to fix something to make 5.0+ device still usable.

This issue is HIGH priority! The device is unusable in this mode 3G with battery drain. Is it realy impossible for google and sony to make some patch for people, to help them?

I have been fighting with this bug for maybe 6 months. Have been using a workaround by using an app Servicely (rooted phone) which kept the bug away. Since about a week I am using Android 7.1 with the dialect of Cyanogenmod 14.1 + the pertaining gapps without Servicely. No sudden unexplainable drain of battery.
There is a new radio/modem in this build. Either that or the gapps might have fixed it.
Don’t give the phone to your wife yet, there might be hope.

Description
Description:
When mobile data (2G or 3G) is switched on, all the internet apps continue to consume battery and keep the mobile data active unless they are force stopped. On kitkat, this didn't happen because apps stopped using mobile data whenever their transaction was over. But here in lollipop, they don't seem to stop ever and cause a huge battery drain.
Please look into this.. It's still present in 5.1 (aosp and all custom roms).
