Thanks.I've read that turning wifi off for a minute then turning it back on will work. Not sure if it really does but worth a shot.
Cell standby is going to be an issue if you have a poor mobile signal. The phone has to provide more power to the antenna to hold a signal - just the way it is.I thought I had the cell standby figured out yesterday with the GP Services update... and then this AM the first thing I noticed was OS taking up a lot... then at some point cell standby kicked in. I have a feeling if I get past cell standby that OS will be the next issue.
I understand that it's all relative. It is also relative to my experience with KK. I have the same phone/hardware so if there is a perceived problem (maybe not actual, but perception is reality) then I tend to blame the software since it's the only thing that changed (I still live/work in the same place with the same cell towers). When over a given 8ish hour period I have approx 1 hour of SOT taking up 3% of the battery and cell standby over the same time is taking up 31% it just seems like an issue. This is relative to the fact that with KK my SOT, generally, was the biggest user of power. We'll see over time.Cell standby is going to be an issue if you have a poor mobile signal.

Remember that something is using the battery, so if you have a light use day, it's going to be something like Android OS, Google Play Services, Kernel, etc., that reports highest. Even if you drain a minimal amount per hour, something will be on that list.

But how do I check signal strength on my Moto X (2013) sporting Lollipop? Everyone else seems to be able to do Settings > About phone > Status, but on my unit there is no Signal Strength field on the Status page.
I'm not sure about Lollipop, but on KitKat you went into settings / more... / mobile networks / network type and strength
The results should be in dBm, in negative numbers. The closer to zero, the stronger the signal (though zero is an impossible result - just a way of saying the less negative, the better).
Do you have a Verizon Moto X? I assumed that you did, based on the title of this thread.Thanks, but on my Lolli there is no "mobile networks" after "more..." There is Cellular Networks, but clicking into that does not reveal signal strength.
