Suddenly, wifi connection is draining my battery - HTC Desire S

Hello friends. I'm going to try to tell my problem in English.
Wifi signal is draining my battery since three days ago. I've read a post of a user who solved it, cleaning the golden contacts of the back cover. I've tried it, but it does not work. As i said in the other thread, I'm not root
What can I do?

was tempted to say charge you battery or stop using wifi
But, first you should provide us with more details like ROM version, radio, full details of your bootloader screen so that we can understand you device more.
What have you tried apart from cleaning the contacts, full wipe, factory reset etc?

thanks ben
Thanks for your help ben!
I have the same general settings, sync settings and same apps than before the problem.
More details from my device:

I have no tried factory reset cause it`s a big problem to lose everything, but if that´s the only way to solve the problem, I can try it. I downloaded a free app and I´m going to calibrate the battery in a few minutes. is that like to do a fullwipe?
Thanks again for your help and sorry for my English. I do my best.

suggestions would be to install an application like battery monitor widget to produce a history of your power consumption, so that you can analyse what is using all the power.
Check the following settings
Settings->Wireless & Networks->Wi-fi settings->(Menu button)->Advanced->
Wifi Sleep Policy = Never
Best Wifi Performance=OFF
Consider which new application youve installed in the last three days?
What has changed?

Thanks a lot ben! I think that´s the solution.
My device looks like this:
Wifi Sleep Policy = Never
Best Wifi Performance=ON
I've unchecked Best Wifi performance, I think my girlfriend was trying to connect to her wifi network the day when I noticed the problem. Maybe she checked this option. She says she didn't check anything, therefore I'm sure that she checked it.
Thanks again.

in which case, she certainly checked it that could be the end of your problem.....that setting improves the the wifi connection at the expense of additional battery consumption.
so install and run the monitoring as suggested above and report back in a couple of days.

It'll require a hard reset .... backup everything with Sprite or SPB Backup first.

The other day I exchanged my 2 week old Atom for a new one since there were bugs in the Radio. For some reason the Atom would decide that the radio functionality would just turn off, but not let me know about it. Someone would call and they'd get the message that my phone's turned off even though on my screen it would say I have signal (Flight mode turned off). I wouldn't know it wasn't working until I'd try to make an outgoing call and just get 3 beeps and a call that lasts 0 seconds. After turning Flight mode on and off again everything would be fine until the phone decided to do it again (few hours later).
I thought I had the latest radio version, does anyone else have/had this issue at all? Maybe I had the same rom but older radio, maybe I had a faulty unit. Had the new phone for a day and haven't noticed it happen at all yet....
I did have one period yesterday that I didn't get any E-mail warnings through SMS messages, and after a soft reset I got four. But I attributed that to problems with the network. Except for that I haven't had any such problems.
No More internal stroge Memory After Update.
Hi All,
I also have updated the rom and it seems much better.But did any one experience or noticed about the internal storage. when i updated to Xda-Atom-ENG-20060123 the stroge memory has been disappered.Even I've checked the File Explorer cannot see the stroge.
Just see the pics which i've taken b4 and after.
According to O2, it's been reallocated to more storage memory, instead of a separate partition. IMHO, that's much better than having to deal with an extra folder or location to store stuff.

[Q] How to eliminate GTALK_ASYNC_CONN wakelocks?

I have a Nexus S 3G, and installed bone-stock, and got it to idle for 3 days 19 hours, give or take.
I wanted to try CyanogenMod, installed the latest stable (7.1), disabled Data Syncing, have a single GMail account, no apps installed and lose about 2-3% per hour battery life sitting still. I'm using the GladDOS 1.8 Kernel, which is what I used to get the 3 day idle before.
BetterBatteryStats shows that I have 11m23s of GTALK_ASYNC_CONN partial Wakelocks (this is over a 1 hour time period).
I used Titanium Backup to uninstall Google Talk, and still get the Wakelocks.
I'm going to re-install stock and re-verify stock idles fine.
Any ideas? I've searched high-and-low, and it appears it's a known issue, but I've yet to stir up an answer.
Anyone?
Thanks!
-Dan
I know its been a few weeks guys and apologies for pulling this back up but i suppose its better than starting a new thread.
I have pretty much the exact same problem as plymptop above, i installed betterbatterystats and after only 2 hours its chewing through battery power and pointing to GTALK_ASYNC_CONN"my email address" /android_talk etc and beside this it says "Count: 94.
I had my phone returned to stock 2.3.3 a week or so ago and this wasnt a problem but it seems no matter what custom rom i install, i still get high battery consumption. Anything from 6-12 hours with little or no use.
Anyone got any pointers on what i can do to correct this? Thanks in advance.

Battery Eater: Google Services?

I kept my (at 100% when I went to sleep) phone unplugged last night while I slept to see how it does when it's idle. (when I'm working I'm running WiFi tether which obviously sucks battery life so I've not seen how it sits.
6 hours later I woke up to A battery at 71%, which was kind of surprising. I've attached some screen shots.
I run CleanROM 6 with its stock kernel. Would a different kernel help?

Are you on Wi-Fi at home? I've read some people having this issue and they've turned off the Wi-Fi power management feature and it seems to resolve this. Settings--wi-fi--menu key-- advanced should get you to the right menu (I'm on an aosp rom so not sure if it's in the same exact place).
Also an app like Better Battery Stats might provide more specific information about whatever is draining you.

Same place I described. It's the box "Wi-Fi optimization."
Thanks Dearborn! I just changed the setting so hopefully it works! I didn't even know that existed!

I have the same prob since CR6v2 (50% Google Service batt use when relatively idle) and have always had my wifi set to stay on when sleeping (assuming that's the setting you're talking about). It seems clear via GSAM and normal batt stats that Google Services is causing wakelock. GSAM says, "included packages Google Contacts Sync" but I'm not sure if that's conclusive or if it's just providing an example.

Android System draining battery on lollipop, but only under wifi

the title says almost everything. I updated to last cmos12 release, flashed again, clean flashed again, wiped everything and fastboot super clean flashed again. nothing. Android system drains the battery on par with display. i have approx 3 hours cpu uptime for android system in a discharge cycle. but this behaviour simply disappears if i don't use wifi and only rely on mobile connectivity. ofc i have better battery stats and wakelock detector installed, so please ask me for things you need to help me understand and troubleshoot the issue and i'll provide them.
thanks in advance

I have the exact same problem, although I'm not working on a rooted phone. Working on LTE goes ok, but the moment I switch on wifi the phone gets very very hot and drains the battery. Other than 'Android system' I cannot see any other process draining.
no hot phone for me. i get lots of wakelocks but they're 1-2 sec each so nothing to worry about. the phone deepsleeps well too. but those 3 hours of cpu uptome for android system drive me crazy.
any suggestion out there ?
Most likely it is a bug from Cyanogen os 12.
As it is still an initial build, I think you will get a more stable build in near future.
I will suggest you to check the following option under wifi > advanced settings > keep wi-fi on during sleep option.
I have this set as always.
If you have the same then you can try with the other options.
tried but ofc i need data connection while sleeping and relying on mobile data is more power consuming so no, wifi has to be always active during sleep ^^

Try this, it worked for me. Wifi settings seemed to be the problem. Changed the frequency from 'automatic' to '2.4 Ghz only' in the advanced wifi setting.. Now all Normal. I almost returned the phone thinking of a hardware issue.

Terrible idle battery drain!

I have a terrible battery drain when my phone is idle. Tried everything, but nothing solved it. Ever since Lollipop I have this issue.
Clean flashed MM and still nop. Flashed ElementalX 6.04 yesterday which still couldn't solve it. This is frustrating :crying::crying:
I have disabled everything too. No Wifi, data, bluetooth, location...etc (My phone is not a smart phone anymore)
Only adaptive brightness is enabled.
Yesterday I fully charged and went to sleep to find out it has drained 28% after a 7 hours sleep. Removed all the unpopular apps (suspicious apps) as well. BetterBatteryStatus says my phone has been in DEEP SLEEP throughout the whole time too.
Please give me a solution

How old is your phone?? You might need to replace the battery. Especially you've already done everything from kernel, to clean flash to disabling apps and settings
your bstats also tells no abnormality? how about its partial wakelocks? can you post those so we can check it out?

According to BBS my phone has been in deep sleep throughout the whole time. I'm assuming its the battery, I need to replace it may be.
I charged my phone again. I will post partial wakelocks too in few hours time.
Thanks alot
Even though it may not make a huge difference but you can try draining the battery out to 0 (until the phone can't stay on even after a force power on) and a full charge (30 mins to an hour overcharging after you see full battery indicator).. Gluck.
I replaced my battery, I was getting hard reboots as well. But wow with a new battery and marshmallow my nexus is like a new device.
99% no or unknown signal.
That could be the cause of your drain, when the phone has no signal or poor signal it will use a lot of battery to keep the connection alive. Set aeroplane mode on
