I noticed This happening for the past few weeks now.
Sometimes when I go to sleep, I don't turn the wifi off. But when I do, it seems that while I'm sleeping, the wifi turns on by itself.
The screen shots above shows that at the first few hours, the wifi was on, and so was Facebook!
I also noticed in the past that when I turn my wifi off,. Sometimes it will just suddenly turns on.
Can an app be doing this? I have auto-sync activated. Can that be the reason why my wifi just suddenly turns on? Cause on the graph, only the first few hours consumed 30% of my battery. Which is a big deal for me. Cause I don't want my phone to just decide for itself whether it will need data or not. I know it's a smartphone but there has got to be a limit how smart it is. Hehehe.

Probably autosync is the cause. There's no decent app as far as i know to open wifi or mobile data by itself.
Try to disable it and check it out.

Spoiler
Thanks. It seems that auto sync is really the cause. I turned it off and my wifi didn't turn on while I was asleep.

What Rom???
I do not think the phone is suppose to sleep ever. It is always waiting for a phone call. depending on your wireless sleep policy the wireless can go off, but the phone is always on.
Its like: Chuck Norris never sleeps, he waits.
Give it a glass of milk and read it a nice story.

I don't know the details, but the Android OS or the hardware or something goes into "sleep" mode, conserving battery, but the radio stays on awaiting calls or texts.
What ROM are you running? Are you using a custom kernel? That might be the issue.

Maybe is an issue of the ROM
what makes you think it doesn't turn off when its idle?
...besides don't you prefer to have WiFi running rather than mobile data burning?
Try rebooting your phone after changing the setting to never. This may solve the problem. It solved problem for me on Blisspop rom.

coz it's always connected, usually it disconnects after a while and reconnects when you turn your phone back on , and I don't keep data on so that's not an issue.. this is usually a problem during night time, if I sleep without turning off wifi it stays connected all night sucking up battery

Mobile OFF and battery DRAIN, WTF?!?!?!?

Hi guys
This night have happened something so strange
I went bed at 12:00am and I had been charging the mobile until it was 100% of battery. I confirm that was full charged and decided to unplug to the electricity and switched it off
This morning, at 7.00 I woke up and switched on the mobile and I saw that the battery level was 87%
"It is imposible" - I though, so I decided to see the battery stats and what was the amazing thing: meanwhile the mobile was off, the wifi was on
you can see the picture

WiFi > advance options > keep WiFi on sleep > select never
Sometimes I still get the WiFi drainage even though I don't use it
thank you
doing it I suppouse that notifications only will come if I unlock the mobile phone, no?
or having the screen locked is not the sleep mode?

Huge battery drain after Facory Reset

Hi guys, i performed a factory reset to my opo, but now i have a huge battery drain. I think it is caused by the Wi-Fi but i don't know why. I disabled location, autobackups, ok google detection and stuff like these. I also noticed that the wifi is active also when the phone is powered off. Any advice?

The huge drain is caused by your weak cell reception. As you can see the drain is minimal right at the beginning when you were not using your device at all.
The drain starts at the same time when the reception starts to get bad (red).
But, you also started using your device quite heavily at that time (active + screen on for longer periods).
Were you on wifi all the time or did you use mobile data and only had wifi left enabled?
What was you screen on time at the end of the day?
Without more information about what you were doing with your device I would say you were on the go, maybe on a trainride with bad cell reception which uses much more battery.
To be honest the battery looks "OK" to me in this case.
About the gap + wifi usage, might just be a statistics bug, I don't know.
Charge your device and go on monitoring your battery... there are bad days and good days.

WiFi disabled, great battery, WiFi enabled, TERRIBLE battery?? help

Before I was getting 14h total time, with 2.5h SOT time before being forced to charge.
So I did the fresh reset like was suggested. Battery life is FANTASTIC now..... SOT 30M, LFC 3.5h, time left 2d 13h.
However, if I flip on WiFi, my phone will drain quickly, for some reason, I think it is either constantly searching for new WiFi locations and/or it is keeping my phone awake constantly.
Anyone have a remedy for this?

Now look at it afterwards
I only got mine yesterday, but I have noticed the battery life is terrible also. I found a setting in wifi called 'scanning always available', which I have disabled, this might be our culprit.

I have been looking at that as well.
I would check for wakelocks while WiFi is on. I also double-check the app settings for syncing while on WiFi.
