does anyone know of a "sniffer" program to find the process that's keeping a wifi lock, and therefore preventing my phone from going into true deep sleep? once i turn wifi off, i can see from the cpu states page in better battery stats that it's going into deep sleep. but as long as wifi is on, it won't. thanks in advance!
wild guess, maybe your mobile data is set to "always on" in your network settings. Also, have you enabled power efficiency in power settings? Maybe give that a go mate

Has anybody had any luck with wireless network connection managers on the Charge? I used Green Power on the Fascinate, but it doesn't seem to work here. Even if I have 4G disabled, data will not turn on when the phone wakes up. Active data when the phone is sleeping is killing my battery.

Are you talking about wifi? If so then you can set it to turn off when the phone is asleep. Settings-wifi settings-advanced settings.
If you're talking about 3g/4G data then I guess you'd just toggle it on and off via the pull down switch?

I'm mostly talking about the 3G/4G data. I manually toggle wifi when I'm at home, and have it off when I'm out. Green Power did a good job managing the mobile data while the phone was sleeping, but it's not working well on the Charge. It will turn the data off after the screen turns off, but it won't turn back on when the phone is unlocked. I'm trying Juice Defender, bit so far, I'm not sure if it is working, since the free version doesn't have too many custom settings.
*update* JD isn't working for me. Mobile data was still on while the screen was off for at least 10 minutes. uninstalled. I'll keep trying. */update*
I have also noticed that this phone does not sleep when it's charging, it locks in at 100 MHz when the phone should be sleeping (never saw this on the Fascinate). I'm running PBJ_voodoo under stock rooted rom.

So it puts in like airplane mode when sleeping, Pretty slick.
I would still go into your wireless settings to have your wifi turn off when at sleep for when you're at home. It saved me a ton of battery at the house and that feature is not available for most phones.

Somewhat like airplane mode, except only for mobile data, voice signal stays active.

I can confirm that both Green power and JD do not work for data control...well JD does sorta...it will turn the 4G off and on but it will have issues turning it back on if it changed to 3g..there is a mode that you can highlight if it has troubles re engaging the data but it takes a few minutes and then it totally resets the connection including the phone service...at least thats what happened for me. Both control the wifi fine though. I have yet to find a service that can control the 4g consistently but I would like one
WTF?!? I live just outside of an LTE zone, so I have my network set to CDMA. I've gone all day with data turned off, and battery is still at 30% (16.5 hours since unplugged). I've switched the data on a couple times during the day, but only for short periods, which is what these apps are supposed to do. It just sucks that they don't work. Even on a good day with the fascinate, I never got close to this kind of battery. *sigh*

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the wifi not staying connected while within a wifi network anytime the phone goes to sleep, or shows both wifi & data connection active at the same time? It seems to disconnect the wifi when phone goes to sleep and when I wake the phone, it goes through the connection process and stays at obtaining the IP address for +/-15mins. Is this an isolated issue or is it a common thing with all non official GB custom ROM 's? Just to note, I changed the wifi scan interval from 15 sec - 120 sec after I flashed the ROM. Been on the ROM now for about a week and a half and so far this is the only thing I noticed as strange. Overall this ROM rawks!!!

Not sure about your specific rom.. But Juice defender will allow you to set wifi persistent, etc..
*Kingpin... get it?*

So when set to persistent, how much battery will it be consuming with that setting?

Not sure specifically.. But you can set it by location.. Like, if your on your home network, or at the office. I usually don't pay attention to the power it uses because I use the setting for home and im always by a charger..

I discovered it in the store, but the tf700 has already a suspension mode for the wifi when the screen is of.
Anyone use it? Some advice?

get tasker instead. More work to set up but a LOT more powerful. JD tended to kill my battery more than save it
Juicedefender is only most useful when you're juggling mobile data and wifi, unless you really have a regular schedule daily... I find that it doesn't make battery life worse, but I don't use it on my tablet as it doesn't affect the life much.

Every Android device has this option actually. It's just a bit hidden. Settings/WiFi now press the menu button then advanced and then you can choose your wifi sleep policy.

During the night my HTC one s s3 goes into some kind of sleep mode, which turns off my internet or WiFi connection, preventing me to receive messages via Skype, gTalk... or emails. Is there any way to avoid going in this mode, some kind of "always on", I don't know... I couldn't find a setting for this, searched everywhere... Thanks in advance

If you go into advanced settings under Wi-Fi, you can tell Wi-Fi to never sleep. That should solve your issue?
Also, are you on stock?

Not the same thing. If I remember right this turns all data off and also does other things as well and the only fix I can think of is the tweak app that some roms have.
Stock 4.0.4 Europe. WiFi is set to never sleep (keep WiFi on during sleep >> ALWAYS) and it sleeps all right during the night. Any setting for 3G? I have an unlimited data plan, so it would be ok to keep it always on.
Edit: best WiFi performance is set off. Would this make any difference?

Don't think it will since its a power saver feature that you having issues with but like I said it can be turned off with custom rom.
I was about to upload my screen shots into the battery thread when I realized that my WiFi had been used. But it's been manually turned off since the day I got the phone as you can see. You can check the screen shots. Any one have any ideas?

You have to go into the wifi settings and uncheck the always scan. Its under the advanced wifi settings.
Settings, wifi, advanced, "scanning always available" makes your wifi available for location purposes even if you have it "off" in settings. Do you have this box checked?
Go into WiFi settings and then go to advanced settings and disable "Scanning always available".

Strange, my always scan is off on my n4 and WiFi had been off all day at work. When I got home you could see where it had been on briefly throughout the day, not to concerned but I suspect always scan isn't being disabled fully when it's unchecked?

I had this exact same issue and was going to post on this 'bug'. It can really drain your battery over night! Luckily, unchecking the 'always on' feature under Advanced really did make the timer stop ticking.
Tell me about it. noticed this on 4.3 - its a battery killer
when you first login it says wifi will be scanned and used to better determine location even when off ... I clicked that permission off in my initial loading of the phone...curious if that is the issue?
Anyone have a problem were the music is playing but cant hear it sometimes ?
Mine has the same issue no matter what settings I use.
