50% without service

[Frisco]

YA'll do know that you can hit menu and then refresh when at the battery use page. it made my cell standby time go from 50 percent to 20 then to 3 then to 50. ALl while standing still with full signals

I felt like I was stating the obvious when I posted that a while back in another thread.

But it's good to see it posted again.. lots of new people may not know about that.

I have to believe that the "few others" were the reason for battery drain. No person has reported a battery life difference with or without the 50% showing. Moderators, long-time forum members, and newer ones report the same thing.

The 50% thing absolutely kills my battery. If I don't do airplane mode after rebooting my phone the battery lasts ~6 hours at most on a full charge.

Not me. I haven't seen that refresh option posted for a long time. Good on ya for thinking of it and pointing it out here.

So I'm at 88% time without signal. Should I be worried?

During that six hour period, what are you doing with your phone? How would you classify your use? Heavy? Medium? Light? How have you validated that it is the 50% bug killing the battery?

I ask because there is a lot of variability as to this bug causing problems or not. Personally, I've seen no evidence it is anything more than cosmetic.

I have the 50% without service bug, too. I also noticed that when I go to Menu>Settings>About Phone>Battery>Battery Use, Cell Standby is at the top of the list. The list reads:
Cell Standby 48%
Voice calls 23%
Phone idle 16%
Android system 8%
Display 3%
Dialer 2%

I'm wondering if the 50% bug has anything to do with cell standby at 48%? If not, is cell standby at 48% reasonable?

So when I see the 50% bug on my 2.1v3 leaked Eris, it also includes 100% awake time until I do the airplane trick. Then that 50% slowly falls to nothing. and I get a variance in my awake vs asleep time. So, for me, it's more than just cosmetic.

Not if you live in a very rural community with poor service. I was at 92% the other day because I literally did not have service 92% of the time where I was working.
