Cell standby has been one of the major causes of smartphone battery drain and a lot of
users seems to be having issues with it.
Even when your phone is idle,
the battery will keep going down… It is absolutely abnormal. Here is a comment
I decided to make as a standalone post in order to fix this issue once and for
all.
Mr yomi.
I bought infinix zero 4 plus. Having problem of battery drain.I
noticed “cell standby” is the issue.

Does anyone know how to stop
cell standby? It’s ruining my phone’s battery life.
I’m at 61% left on my battery and 35% of that battery loss is from cell
standby. My phone is dying very fast considering I’m barely using it.
What is Cell
Standby?
Cell Standby = The power your
phone is using to search for signal – this will make your phone extremely
hot sometimes if it is searching for an extended period of time.”
How to Solve
Cell Standy From Draining Your Phone Battery?
Method 1:
1. Open the dialer and enter
*#*#4636#*#*
2. Click on Phone information
3. Find set
preferred network type, choose the one that suits you. Mine was on TD-SCDMA,
GSM/WCDMA and LTE so I change it to LTE/WCDMA
4. Reboot the phone and you’re
good to go.
Method 2
Are you on WiFi? You should
change the wifi setting so that wifi turns off when the phone is asleep/not
being used.
Go to
settings>WLAN>Advanced settings>Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep=select
“Never”. In same menu, you can turn off “Always allow scanning” and “Network
notification”.
Method 3:
This method works pretty well
for some people.
Switch Your SMS Messaging app
from 3rd party to
the default messaging app.
I switched my SMS messaging app
from Hangouts back to the default Messages app, and the problem literally went
away overnight, going from 30-40% battery usage to about 6%. I didn’t delete
any apps or change any other settings.
So if you’re having Cell Standby
related battery issues and are using Facebook messenger,
or Hangouts, or any other app other than the stock Messages app, maybe try
switching your SMS back to that and see if it helps any.
There are other ways of solving
this problem which are not included in this guide, do well to help us add it to
the comment section if you know any.
