Hello guys,
Not sure what's going on but my battery stats show that my wifi is draining most of the batter even when I have it off the whole time. Any ideas where I should look first?

It could be, Settings>wifi> menu Advanced and turn off scanning always available.

What does "scanning always available" mean?

it means apps will always scan for available wifi networks, even when wifi is off

Thanks, so even though you might think WiFi is off, its not completely off.

Correct. I think it is mainly used when you use battery saving mode for the location.

I haven't got my N5 yet, but on my Xperia T I've had it switched on and still had good battery life, just turned it off now and will see if it gets better.
So after a a few days of use, the problem has disappeared. Thanks everyone

I have he Nexus 5 since the past 5 months now! I never faced any battery problem. Now since 3-4 days, i have terrible battery drain. I charge my phone to 100% and sleep and in 8-10hrs sleep, the battery is down to 50% . Android OS and Android system are using 30-35% each. I'm on stock and not rooted. What should I do?
Find out where you wake locks are. Get something like betterbatterystats.

I did! It shows PowerManagerService as the main culprit. wlan_rx_wake and wlan_wd_wake aer also equally responsible. But i dont know what that means. Any suggestions?

It's likely your wifi. Did you recently switch to a different router? Some routers cause excessive wakelocks which in turn cause bad drain. If I leave my wifi on overnight I can sometimes lose 10-15%, if I leave wifi off I generally only lose 1-2% overnight.

Nope! i have been using the same router. Thinking of buying a new one though as this one is 2-3 yrs old!
Anything else I can do? Apart from changing my router?

Try disabling wifi before you hit the sack tonight just to see if that is indeed the cause.

Do you know if your wireless network is using 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz? Selecting one or the other and not using Automatic seems to fix speed issues and might also help with wake locks.
Otherwise you can try setting Locations to Device Only instead of Battery Saver and also disable Wifi always scanning if it's on.
why don't use both?

Clear your cache. Sometimes weirdness can result from that.

Go to Settings/Wifi/Advanced and turn off the "wifi scanning always available" option.

I've put it in the wrong section (not troubleshooting), I do not know how to move it?

I think you better disable Google app and use it on your browser! And it might be that app which monitors your wakelocks as well. Uninstall it.
Btw: Mods will move it to the correct section (q&a).

I have only just put the app on in the morning to check, and I have disabled google and it is still going down quick in standby - even with removing the app :/
You'll get more help if you cared to post on the proper section (Q and A), not accessories.
Yeh, I thought mods were gonna move it as I accidentally did it wrong. I posted it in q and a but got nothing

It's your wifi. Turn it off and clear recent before bed.

What????!
My WiFi seems to cut off for a few seconds and then turns back on. It does this throughout the day, every day. My router and internet are fine, I just checked.
So does anyone have a suggestion? I'm not sure what to do here. My settings all appear correct..

Stock.
I think I figured it out though... I had that WiFi battery optimization option on. Turned it off and all seems good now.

Yep that will do it.
88% of battery with almost no use, I've been facing this problem since last update, not sure if it was present in previous Dev.
I tried turning Ok Google off, GPS off (completely), WiFi scanning and other stuff too but the problem persist as you can see in the screenshot.
System, Android SO and Play Services are always on the top; yesterday I got almost 3 hours of SOT and those services was the top 3 battery drainers, even more than the SOT that I was expecting stay at top.
Is this normal?
I know that I'm on a beta build but some people here get way better SOT.
