Cell Standby battery drain

[Salvatore]

Hi,
i'm experiencing seriuos issue about battery, it's being constantly drained by cell standby with abnormal values. It's actually draining more than the display, that's unacceptable.
Can you please provide a fix/solution ?

I can only confirm - battery consumption when out of wifi range consumes the battery a lot. Every day I spend less than 4-5 hours + charging period in the wifi network, the rest lte. Sot that I achieve is 3.5 hours with a standby time of 16 hours. This weekend I was only within the range of wifi and sot was over 5 hours with over 1.5 days of standby!

So I switched countries (and providers and probably the frequencies used for 4G - as it now shows 4G and not 4G+) and my standby usage dropped significantly. I hope Asus can figure this one out, but it is a weird issue for sure

items 2 to 5 represent a total energy consumption of more than 27% 😕

Does anyone know why Google Play Services eat this much? I notice it's only like that when I'm using mobile network.

Maybe you have many apps and your phone is updating them a lot? Try to disable automatic updates, or only allow to update over wifi.
