MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - [M96] Cell standby eating battery (with mobile data disabled, airplane mode on)

Code:

Apps -> Settings -> Battery

shows battery statistics of M96 (FW 2014-10-13_16_36_dev_662747e) and that Cell standby is the leader.

Is this something I should be concerned about? Are these stats reliable? Does this process really consume so much battery?

I have seen some discussions about the subject here before where other users either disabled the data and (non-existent) radio in Android settings or changed the names of the apps in the system that were allegedly responsible for this situation and that "fixed it":

Code:

/system/app/Phone.apk
/system/app/TelephonyProvider.apk

Disabling everything in the options did not seem to have any effect on my device (the cell standby is still there) and I have read conflicting opinions whether renaming the apps makes any real difference or not.

Either way seems like a bug that should be addressed by Onyx. The question is whether it's a minor (the stats are incorrect/misleading but the battery is unaffected) or a major (there is an unnecessary process eating up a lot of battery)?
