After turning off my wifi, the battery stats show that I still have it running, when in reality it shouldn't. It shows that it's off in the settings menu but the wifi bar in the battery stats says it's on. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Like this for example.

Yep. Introduced in 4.3 WiFi will stay on to help with location. When it's turned "off" it just means it won't connect.
You can turn this feature off in WiFi > advanced > scanning always available.

Hi people,
Recently went to the market, and I tried downloading Green Power. It claimed to be able to work with 2.3.3
However, I don't see it toggling 3G automatically.
Has anyone managed to get it working?

If you are connected to a wireless network the app doesn't use your data connection. Try running the app with your wireless off or turn off your router. You'll see it working then.

Huh I thought the main objective of the app is to turn off the 3G when its not in use?
What's the point of turning off the wifi or router?

I use an app called "Network Switcher" which seems to work well on my Nexus S

I got this yesterday it does switch off the 3g so I think its been working. Although there were a few times when I switch RH screen on and off too quickly that it takes 10 seconds o so before 3g comes back
So far its been good using greenpower can update later

The reason I said to turn off wifi/router was so he could see if the app was turning on/off his 3g connection properly; that being his question

Alright its been a few days and I can safely say that green power is working out awesome for me
If I just leave the phone alone it last a lot longer I'd estimate it to using around 10-20% battery judging by the percentage reported by the phone

I believe Deep Sleep Battery Saver is what your looking for. Not such though because I have never tried it

Hey guys, I've owned my Nexus 5 for a couple weeks now and I've noticed a battery drain when running on WiFi. No matter what ROM I use, no matter what kernel I use, it still drains. And BBS tells that as well. I have not one but 4 wakelocks on WiFi and I've tried both franco and faux's kernel combined with both Cataclysm/Stock ROM. Attached a BBS screenshot. Anyone has this too/solved it?

Li'l up? I've searched a while but no one has these three same exact wakelocks like me.

You have to turn off "Always scanning" in the Wi-Fi advanced settings

Done. Even undervolted -75mv and underclocked CPU of 200MHz (not actually related to this WiFi thingy but I wanted to save some battery). I feel like WiFi is draining soooooo much even when the screen is on, and I don't use any apps like Facebook which drain battery.

I was looking over my battery stats with better battery stats app. I noticed that "WiFi running" was using my battery 100% of the time. At first I thought that was my WiFi connection but my WiFi was off. When I turned it on I then notice "WiFi on" in better battery stats. What exactly is WiFi running?

Wifi On: the total time Wifi was on
Wifi Running: the total time Wifi was connected to an SSID

Ahhhh I see. Thank you for the reply. Would this connection to my SSID be draining battery? Or is it such a small percentage that I shouldn't worry about it?

I must have it wrong. What I said makes no sense in light of your screen shot. Sorry to have jumped the gun.

Wifi running could possibly be referring to the 'Scanning always available' setting in advanced wifi settings. If ticked it allows Google and other apps to scan for networks to locate you.
I'm no expert but just a thought
Thanks for this I just got the nexus 5 and was wondering the same. Didn't know there was an "always scan"...

Actually, the Better Battery Stats thread definitely has all this kind of information.

Is it possible to turn my phone into a repeater? To have a wifi connection and tethering on?

I don't think so. Turning on the wifi hotspot disconnects you from wifi. I'm guessing its a limitation of today's radios.
It sounds like the same piece of hardware can only do one or the other not both.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
no, its not possible, your last statement is right.
You can, however, tether internet via Bluetooth while being on WiFi, if the device you want to connect to the phone supports that.
