Tried searching for this but can't seem to find anything similar. I did think it was down to this camera bug but I don't think it is...
Basically, in the last few days, my Nexus thinks the WiFi is on when I've not used it in weeks. This is based on the battery stats in the Settings menu. It's killing my battery, like 10% in less than an hour, and this is also the same on a fresh install of the factory image with now other apps installed.
Anyone know what's going on, or what to suggest?
Hi,
Have you unticked "Scanning always available" in Settings/Wi-Fi/Menu/Advanced, maybe this?

I've not used WiFi for months as I'm on Unlimited Data, so it's not even turned on (and I never use that setting, first thing I turned off). It's been fine until the last few days so not sure what's happened...
Oh well, sorry but other than that I have no idea
I know! I've just tried it in Safe Mode and it's still showing as running when it's not so I have no idea what's going on!?!?

In Safe Mode, all the Google apps/services are disabled?
Maybe some Google sorcery . I mean with the setting mentioned above disabled even with the Wi-Fi OFF you see it in the battery stats, so now maybe something related to Photos, G+ and so on?
I guess you verified, but just in case...

Gotta be something with this particular phone, funny it's only just started doing it...I'll keep digging
EDIT: It DOES seem like it was the WiFi setting as it was on, and it's NEVER been an issue until the last few days. Turn it all off and it now seems to show as off in the battery graph. I'll keep an eye on things, though...

has anyone else noticed that if you go to the battery usage on the S4G it shows the phone as always awake? check the graph. it's really strange!
perhaps this could be linked to some of our heat/battery issues? the phone is not sleeping correctly?
You have a rogue program that isn't shutting down. Now you need to figure out what it is.
When I had this it was VTOK since that program never shut off.
Go to Settings> Applications> Running Services and look at the times that everything has been running and try to figure out which one doesn't belong
HTC watch can be a culprit too

I practically uninstalled every application that had an associated service, disabled everything from startup that I could find and the issue persists.
The only way I can get it to not be always awake is if I disable data completely... not background data, or autosync, but all data. no 3G, no 4G, no Wifi, nothing.
As soon as wifi comes on, I get a "sync" circle in my status bar (despite the fact that all sync is disabled on my phone), and the problem returns. The only active connections are to Google IPs (as shown by a netstat from the terminal), looks like gtalk/market ports...
I'm stumped.
I'm going to update the market, see if that helps.
EDIT: it didn't.
Just an update:
Downloaded ATK from the market, there seems to be a lot running for a phone I just rebooted.
I killed everything one-by-one, none of them made the sync icon go away.
There was only one that I could not kill... Watch.
... it also has a service that will not die either....
but if it's watch, surely someone else out there has the same issue?
HTC watch was the issue with mine, it took some time until i figured it out

very strange. And for some reason, when someone said "watch" I thought of a clock.... ha. that wasn't any help.
No, the video application. turned out to be the culprit. ffs.

Hello guys, out of all the bugs this is the one bothering me the most.
Battery settings show WiFi as on all the time no matter how i switch it off.
I have disabled all the settings like scanning always.
I flashed the factory image yesterday (not OTA) and waited till a full charge, now today even after a full charge its still the same.
Is this a common bug or just me??
UPDATE :Tested with a clean flash of the factory image and without any apps, the result was that the issue has been solved. It could probably be some app which isnt updated to work in 5.0 yet. (Probably Viber app)
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I didn't flash the image, just flashed it via multirom. I don't have that problem...If that happened to me I'd try to reflash to see if I could replicate the issue with no apps other than what comes with the image.
I just flash my ROM yesterday with the factory image too and now I'm facing the same problem.
Battery usage shows that Wi-Fi is always on even the phone is sleep.
Really want to know why... I think it really consumes the battery.
I flashed the factory image too. I have the same problem. WIFI is always on. Any idea?
I've got it, too. Clean flashed 2 times. Well, hopefully Google gets on it soon.
Same here. Clean install, no root, no tweaks.
I opened issue here https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79326
Solution
had the same issue. what i found out was that it was not an android issue, the issue is with viber app(atleast in my case it was). to confirm it try booting to safe mode and check you battery stats. safe mode disables all 3rd party apps. if it works then reboot normally and uninstall viber.

I updated OTA and I have the same problem. Wifi always on, battery sucking. I don't have the viber app.
try booting to safe mode just to check if it was caused by any other 3rd party application

Well, turning WiFi off and rebooting "resolves" this issue too, but it's no solution at all, the "bug" is still present.

Right this could be the reason. I clean flashed the factory image once again and now its not there without any apps installed. Viber could be the reason.
And btw for those who doesnt know about "Scanning always available" feature, you have to disable "Scanning always available" option in Advanced WiFi settings to truly switch off WiFi when you disable it. Otherwise it will always be on even if the phone goes to sleep. This is an Android feature. I have shown it the pictures of the 1st post.
So regarding the OP, should install apps one by one and confirm who the culprit is.

there was no need to have clean flashed again, you could have booted in safe mode(press and hold power off option) which disables all 3rd party apps. you could have figured it there. anyways for other people with the same issue you could try this and to figure out which app causes it, reboot back to normal and try force stopping each app and check. thats what i did to figure it out. Viber was the cause of the issue for me as i mentioned earlier
I know I am not the first one to post about this issue. I have searched, not only on xda, but some other websites. I just cannot find a solution. I am running 5.1.1 non rooted Stock ROM. I have tried everything. Enabled and Disabled a lot of settings. Nothing seems to work. 20% for that Android System is just too much. It started a week ago. Today I have Installed "Quick System Info PRO" and it shows that some "System_Server" is eating battery due to a high usage of RAM and Proccesor. See attachments please.
I am thinkg about updating my OPO, but I am not sure if this will help.
Did you find a solution? Do you know how to fix this? Please share your knowledge with me.
I used to plug and charge my OPO once every day and a half. But now I have to live with my charger inside my pockets because I am charging my phone every 10 hours.
There are any other apps? Also, try with android 6.0, might fix something.
Hi @srsdani.
Thank you for your reply. No. There are not any other apps eating battery. Mostly because I am at work, I use Whatsapp.
I should also mention that the phone gets super hot for no reason, like when you are playing a game after a long time. (Due to the intesive CPU usage).

try better battery stats and correct firmware and recovery , if possible do everything in fastboot inc flashing
So, yeah, I got the most expected update, installed and worked great... Until some issues showed up, like lockscreen freeze, and now the "you can't see you WiFi power consumption" issue. I'm mad, I know WiFi was taking a huge piece of my battery ( tried some suggestions) but now a bug report appeared, and this is what I face today
Before it was like this
What should I do now? A clean install ?

Don t fast reboot
Shutdown your device and power on
Reboot enable system drain
Disable from security settings google administrator
Cyanogen device manager does the same
Also cyanogen statistic are not used any more to lollipop
Do not use greenify apps from version to version update has opposite results
If you want better battery use apps that will disable sensors and locationwhen device sleep
Has anyone downloaded and installed the new wireless update? Not sure why they changed to the Google messenger. Especially since Allo is due out soon.

Installing now. Kind of a disappointing update, but at least we haven't been abandoned.
I didn't think Allo was going to do MMS/SMS, but I've seen conflicting reports.
It looks like the issues I had with background apps closing when clearing all apps has been fixed. I've got no apps running in the foreground yet can see Whatsapp, Fitbit, etc still running and I'm receiving notifications for them.

As for Allo, I haven't read anywhere that SMS and MMS are not supported. It does seem to suggest that end to end encryption is primary.

I downloaded it and now my phone won't start up properly. It goes into a loop where it says android is starting and it is optimizing apps and then restarts back to optimizing apps over and over. I contacted Blu customer service and they said to hard restart mt phone. It doesn't work and my phone still does the same thing.
Since the update, it change the sms native to Google messenger and worts off it there is a bug, no notification at all on every sms program.
Do you have a link for this update?

I currently have no real issues receiving push notifications on wifi, however mobile data is different. Once the screen has been locked for a small period of time I stop receiving push notifications. When I wake the phone some will show up, some won't show until the relevant app is opened.
Advanced battery optimisation is off.
Individual apps I want notifications from all have battery optimisation set to "Do not optimise".
I have cleared the phone cache through recovery mode.
All notification settings for the apps are on, background data on etc.
There is no option for doze mode in developer mode to turn off.
I have a Tesco Mobile and a 3 sim card. The issue seems worse with the Tesco mobile sim card. The 3 one seems to work better but slowly reverts to the same issue the Tesco one has. I've tried other people's tesco sim cards and replaced my own but none have worked.
Any help would be appreciated, it's driving me mad.
Just to make sure, under Advanced optimization settings there are two switches which are "Advanced Optimization" and "Sleep standby optimization", keeping the latter off might be the problem. Though if they're both off, I assume that it's just the native Doze working to save battery

Yes both are turned off. Do you know of anyway to turn off this "native doze". As a football (soccer) fan, I want instant score notifications for games, I used to get these fine on my iphone 6 but now I have to wake my phone all the time to get them to come up, even then sometimes they don't come through for another 15-20mins.

I've looked in there but can't see anything that would affect mobile data. The notifications work ok when on wi-fi. I've checked mobile data settings and there are no settings for the apps in question which would restrict data usage.

Is this happening to all apps (ex. social apps like twitter or whatever) or just the football app? If it's the latter it should be a problem with that specific app. While if it's the former case, It should be something system-wide, so I'd recommend doing a factory reset maybe?
Btw my phone performs the same as yours with the "sleep standby optimization" on, while it operates as normal with it off, so your case seems pretty hilarious :/
I've experienced on all apps, it's most noticeable on the football one as you can time the push notifications exactly so can tell when they're late but WhatsApp, facebook messenger etc both the same. It seems as if the device just goes into a form of heavy sleep mode after around 5mins of lock. I've tried a factory reset already and nothing changed. OP have advised me to try and reinstall the OS but I don't hold any hope. It's almost as if the phone cuts off all mobile data after 5mins of downtime.

If factory resetting doesn't solve the problem then reflashing the system likely wouldn't either I suppose.
I still have two options in mind that you may be able to try.
First option is to use apps like "Doze" or "Naptime" both on play store, and mess with those advanced Doze settings to try to disable the function itself and see if it works.
The other would be to try the new HydrogenOS P beta or other custom Roms such as Havoc and see if they don't have this problem.
If neither of these work, I really have no other ideas
But I think these are worth giving a try though

I tried the Naptime app but that required root and doze didn't seem to do anything.
I've now tried Android P beta. Exactly the same issue. Once the phone has been locked for a few minutes all updates stop. Once I unlock the phone I get flooded with notifications. So frustrated.
