This should not be necessary on the Onyx. It should already be done by Onyx out of the box. If Onyx didnt preconfigure this, then it would put Onyx into question IMO. This is the first thing I do after rooting an Android OS. Its basic and necessary stuff. The end user should not have to do this on an ereader sold as open Android.

I did find something else weird after looking at all the wireless settings though. From Android Wireless &networks settings I went to More..., then Mobile network settings - Data enabled was checked (Enable data access over Mobile network was enabled). I guess that's why I saw high use of cell standby.
I still had too much battery use after changing the setting so renaming the apks probably would have helped as well. Since this device is not data enabled, those apks should not be in use at all.
Hi All,

Thanks for your inputs.

The apks are still there even in the latest software release for the M96 (2014-09-02), as is the default setting for mobile data being on.

By the way, I could't find telephony.apk. Did you mean TelephonyProvider.apk?

I renamed the Phone.apk & TelephonyProvider.apk in /system/app/ and turned off mobile data.

My (M96's actually) battery usage showed 46% contribution from to cell standby. Hope this helps.
