Maybe I just have never noticed this on previous Android phones because I wasn't so affected by battery life, but I noticed on my phone that even if I turn off the phone and turn it back on and look at the Battery info, it has information about my phone from when before I turned it off. I thought all that stuff was supposed to reset when I rebooted. Is this the normal behavior (tracking of usage even when turned off) or is there something wrong?

Hi guys, i noticed an irritating problem with my One S after a few days of usage. My WiFi turns on at random, and remains on when my phone is in sleep mode. This occurs when I have 3G on. I have turned off using WiFi in sleep mode.
Anything else I can do? I feel like this takes a toll on my battery life.
I wouldn't worry too much about wifi if you just got the phone.
While its connected it shouldn't use up the battery. Afaik
It's the searching that uses battery.
yeah my wifi is on 24/7 i dont experience any drain through it..
you could put a toggle widget on one of your screens to turn it on / off.
it shouldnt be switching itself on it you manually turned it off
But it does exactly that! It turns itself on even after I have manually toggled it off. irritating as it searches for open networks even if I have data on. How do I resolve this hmmm
Maybe Tasker would help?
Disclaimer: I searched the forums but couldn't find anything relevant.
Am I the only one whose tf700 acts really sluggish after it wakes up for a minute or two?
Is there any solution to this? It kills my main use case of the tablet (pick it up when I want to look at something in a pinch, and put it away when I'm done).
I'm on official ROM, rooter but not unlocked. This has been happening with the previous firmware versions as well.
I had the same problem for a while... most of the time I woke the tablet from sleep it'd be very sluggish.
I noticed that this happens when the wifi disconnected during sleep... it would have to reconnect and therefore all the services that required wifi would all start at the same time, throttling the system.
Turns out its the special setting in ASUS Customized Settings, "Disconnects network during sleep" that was causing this. It does exactly what it says, suspends network-related tasks when the screen goes off and resumes on screen on.
I initially turned this on because i was worried network tasks would drain my battery on sleep, but there doesn't really seem to be much of a performance difference with it on or off. So I'm leaving it off for now.

Hmm, I disabled that with the same battery concerns, but I'll give it a shot, thanks!

Also try a clean boot.
Hold down the volume down and power button when you power it on from cold. Let it go through the next screen without touching and it will clear cache automatically.
This does help as well anyway.
It's probably still quicker than most of us after we wake up..... Have you tried coffee?
Try turning off all bloatware. Mine used to be incredibly sluggish when waking up, and when I checked it turned on about 25-ish apps everytime i woke it up. Rubbish like Google Now, Talk, Gallery, etc. This slows the poor thing down to an insane level. Turned off all the random crap I would never use anyway, did a coldboot (sbdags describes the process up one post ^) and now it's instantly awake.
Hi
I've got a brand new PH-1 and haven't yet had time to set it up properly, only started it up, let it update software and used for an hour or so before testing the idle battery drain.
I haven't installed any apps or changed any settings other than to disable the google app (to prevent it listening for or responding to "ok google"). I tried out the 360 camera, signed in to gmail and browsed a few websites, before charging back to full and restarting the phone before this test anyway.
But leaving it idle with the screen off and with phone network disabled (there's not even a SIM inserted), only wifi on with good signal, it lost 65% battery in under 22 hours. Screen on time was less than five minutes.
Is this a hardware issue I should RMA, or is it considered normal? If this is normal and there's no easy fix, I'll probably end up having to return the phone anyway for a refund, because if it can't even last a day and half in idle there's no way it would last a reasonable amount of time with normal usage.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Since there isn't a sim card installed, try going to airplane mode and then turning WIFI on.
I am getting about 1.2% drain with cell network and wifi enabled along with all my standard apps installed.
On a typical day with 1-2h SOT, I usually have 60-70% battery left at midnight. I'd try to reset the phone, and then testing again - occasionally a system update will end up doing something funny
I left it overnight with airplane mode on, so even wifi was off, and it's a little better but not by much. Screen on time was one minute.
With airplane mode on, screen off, no dodgy apps, the phone really shouldn't be doing anything to drain battery.
I'll try a full factory reset and see what happens.
Just to follow up, a full factory reset seems to have fixed the issue. Even after doing the same things I had done before (connected to wifi, updated, logged in to gmail, etc) the battery now drains at a much more sensible rate.
Very strange that a factory reset made a difference since it was new from the factory when I had the issue, but I guess something strange happened in the update like dsip suggested.
Thanks for the help!

That's ? percent normal behavior. Anytime you flash a ROM (new phone =new ROM) you need to wait a bare minimum of a charge cycle (more like three in my experience) before you get the slightest idea what your actual battery drain is going to look like. think of it like breaking in the engine on a new car.

So, like every other thing out there, stuff fails. I woke up this morning and checked my phone to check the time. Nothing unusual. I go to get changed and I come back to my phone and it just shows the Verizon boot logo. I thought "Ok, it must have just crashed somehow and it'll reboot!" And so I waited...and waited....and waited. It seems to be half-booted, but stuck somewhere along the way. The screen is dimmed (indicating the auto-brightness feature is working) and it has the orange hue over the white text (indicating the night-light mode is still on). I had medium Power Saver mode on to keep the battery overnight, and the CPU cap was enabled. I've noticed that some apps don't like to start with that setting enabled, so I'm inclined to believe that the 70% CPU cap is somehow messing up the system and keeping it from fully rebooting. I'm currently waiting for the battery to die since I can't remove my battery in the Note 5. I've checked the device temperature by hand every now and then, and it doesn't feel warm so the CPU isn't cycling up like it should. I don't have access to my computer until I finish moving and unpacking my new house, so I can't use ADB to try and do anything. What should I do?

Ok, so I fixed my own problem. I tried a variety of small post-boot tricks like trying to force the device into a different boot mode (ex: Power+minus=safe boot, power+home+VolDown= Download Mode) and forcing it into Download mode worked. It overrode the issue and I was able to tell it to reboot again. This time it rebooted normally. This was really weird. I've never had this happen before on any other device I've ever owned. I hope this might help someone in the future.
I am going crazy with Watch 4 Classic.
every time I turn it on the wifi turns on automaticly although it is turned off before i turn off the watch (it always gives a pop up saying Wifi(Auto) whether i turn on or off.
I tried factory reset but the problem happened again
I had galaxy watch 3 and there were options of on/off/auto
I need to turn it off permanently and only works when i turn on.
thats beside the laggy disappointing performance. The watch is literally not usable for at least 3-5 minutes after turning on
Any help
Thanks
I found the problem....
It was the ADB debug over wifi enabled that keeps turning on the wifi with every boot
Thank you for this hint. I was just about to post the same. I found abnormal decrease of battery stamina - that was the reason.
