Sometimes when I turn my phone on from sleep I noticed my data would be turned off and I have to toggle the mobile data button back to the on position. It happens even with plenty of charge left. My phone is rooted but just to remove some bloat ware other than that the phone has been good
Anyone else have this issue?
Update- turns out android tuner app was switching off data / sync to save battery. Apologies.

What is the purpose behind the wifi sleep policy. I flashed to gingeritis and it recommends setting the sleep to 15mins for battery life. It appears to go back to the 3G/4G radio when wifi goes to sleep which I thought was counter productive and wiFi was better for battery life. Can any explain this to me?
I can't say this works for everyone, but I have "enable always on mobile data" disabled, so when I don't use my phone for 10 minutes or so it disables mobile data. If I have the WiFi sleep period set to 15, then it will disable all data in 10-15 minutes. Very useful if you have extended periods of time where your phone remains off.

How do you disable mobile data all the time?

HTC supplies a data widget that I use every day while I am at work. Go to personalize, then browse all HTC widgets and the data widget I use is the Data Dashboard. Its 43/58 on my phone but mine might not be right on as I remove a few of the widgets.
While I am at work I just click the mobile setting on the widget to turn data off while still maintaining my voice connect so I can receive txt and phone calls.
As for the OP I keep my wifi set to never sleep no matter what rom I'm on. This way when I'm at home my phone doesn't have to look for the network its always connected to my wifi access point. I have always heard the same as the OP that having wifi on is much better than using the network as far as battery life is concerned.
Setting wifi sleep policy to never is best for battery life. Letting the phone switch back to 3g uses more battery than just letting it stay on wifi all the time.

Thank you that's what I thought!
Hi
I've got an issue with my stock and rooted Nexus 5 (4.4.2). Based on what Better Battery Stats shows, the device is always Awake (see attached screenshot "Nexus-5-Never-Sleeps_c.jpg"), or, put differently, never in Deep Sleep (→ "Nexus-5-Never-Sleeps_g.jpg"). Additionally, I see that there's a *backup* Partial Wakelock, which is always running (→ "Nexus-5-Never-Sleeps_d.jpg").
While the battery drain isn't that bad (-17% in 7 hours), I still find that pretty strange. The device was "idle" all that time (ie. just lying there, with constant Wi-Fi and screen basically always off, receiving SMS and vibrating at times).
I have switched from 4G to 3G data connection and have disabled Dropbox photo sync. I also turned off Google+ pictures auto backup (and also sync of Google Fotos and Google+ Fotos in the account sync settings).
Hm, ja, well, how to allow the device to go to sleep/how to find out, what's keeping it awake? What's that *backup* wake lock?
Thanks,
Alexander
That is strange. Hopefully someone can chime in on what backup might be doing but if I ever notice something running abnormally long like that a phone reboot usually fixes it right up.
17% in 7 hours is horrible. I lose maybe 3% in the same amount of time. Have you tried disabling your wifi? Or changing the sleep policy to "only when plugged in" or "never"?
Also, do you have your N5 setup to backup to google servers? I'd disable that as well.
What app did you use to edit your pictures?

Yeah, a reboot often fixes it - I think I rebooted already. Will do now and report back tomorrow night. Thx.

Disable wifi? How to get data then? That's no solution, as the N5 is then just a paper weight. Data is too expensive and slow.
I have backup enabled. And, well, for kicks and giggles, I'll disable that as well (after tomorrow, as to not mix up results with having rebooted). Where do I disable backup exactly?

I'm not 100% sure what that *backup* represents but I would guess it's the one you can find in Settings under Personal called Backup & Reset. It could also be related to Auto Sync.

I'm not saying permanently disable wifi, just when you aren't using it. You can set your wifi to sleep when the phone sleeps. When you turn your screen back on, your wifi will turn back on as well. It's in advanced settings.
For backup, there is an option in settings called "backup and reset".
Ok in wifi go into settings and disable wifi analyze, in locations select Battery saver, if you have app Ops then use it to disable location in the Google play services.

My Infuse 4G is always on Airplane Mode with Wifi turned on. I use it as a secondary device and like an iPod Touch/Media Player. However, even if Airplane Mode is on, the number one drainer of battery is Cell Standby at like 60-70%. Also, the phone never enters deep sleep and Android OS constantly keeps the device awake. As a result, from a 100%, the phone is dead within 8 hours. There has got to be some sort of fix for this. I'm running the latest Beanstalk 4.4.285.
P.S. I have entered AppOpps and denied the permissions to wake up and stay awake to the following apps: Google Search, Google Play Services and Android System.

Try rebooting. A custom launcher may be a culprit! Apex Nova Go are reliable! Do a clean flash again!
There must be an app which is running in background! Try deleting a recently installed app, try clearing cache of google+. Try uninstalling anti viruses which are useless in a phone. Install an app called Greenify in Play Store. Greenify most of your installed apps with it. It really boost battery life.
Change governor in performance to either Interactive or OnDemand.
And if you want, go into phone info (by dialing *#*#4636*#*#) scroll down to the button that says turn radio off, and that keeps the cell radio off.

Some apps are not properly closed out when you exited it. I had to force close some of them. Not sure if this is happening with other people. Go into: Settings > Applications > Manage applications or Running services open apps that you recently open/closed. If Force stop light up it mean the app still running. I'm aware that some apps remain running due to user setup for it to check for update. The app I'm referring to shouldn't since update is turned off or in manual update mode.

I have pretty much run out of options. I have no idea why my battery drains even in airplane mode. Supposedly it is because of "cell standby".
EDIT: If I can solve this issue, I can put my Infuse to good use again. Unfortunately, I can't use a phone for anything if its battery dies in 8 hours while idling in airplane mode.

Same here~ i just bought an 3.7V 3500mAh Li-ion extended battery off of amazon for under $10 and since the original is 1750 mAh battery im hoping it is going to do some noticable good. Nonetheless, the problem still remains so please if you (or anyone) should discover any breakthroughs than SHARE with us too... please! Thank you kindly <3
Try rebooting, it will help. Try force stop and disable the both "Google Search" apps in app manager (first maybe called "Google App" if you updated it). Guys please keep me updated with this because I'm so confused. It is so stupid and without any kind of tiny logic for the battery drain on AIRPLANE mode that turns off all radios and waves............

My battery life is so bad, my battery drains in 6 hours even if im not using it. is there any way to fix this? i currently do all the following: use low screen brightness
turn off google now
turn off gps location
only sync stuff you really use, turn other syncs off (i have just gmail,contacts,browser synced)
turn off nfc if not using
make sure to use the open recent apps button and swipe away all apps when putting the phone down for a while
ive even tried calibrating my phone by using apps and letting it die completely and turning it back on when fully charged. Someone please help !!!!

Factory reset as it sounds like a bad background app (It may not show up under task managers)
I have taken a snapshot of battery usage? Around 23hrs my tablet shut down from lack of power. You can see from the chart that wifi continues without a hitch. How is that possible?

You can go in to wifi>advanced settings and set wifi to turn off when screen is off. That may help with battery drain.

The point being that the tablet is shutdown totally without any power why would there be indication of wifi activity. No power equal nothing
go to settings and use search to get wifi/bluetooth scanning and disable it
