A method and device that intelligently suppresses reporting of an "in-service" condition to the application processor in a mobile station when the mobile station experiences low received signal strength. When the mobile station's application processor is in a power-saving mode, an in-service condition is not reported to the application processor until certain conditions are met. Delayed reporting of the in-service condition will help prevent a toggling effect (or "ping-pong") of reporting an in-service condition immediately followed by a not-in-service condition. Because the application processor can remain asleep until a sufficiently reliable received signal is available, suppressing reporting of the in-service condition helps prevent unnecessarily waking-up the application processor, and thereby reduces battery consumption.
