wifi disconnects when sleeping?

So, it seems like the xoom wifi model looses its wifi connection after the screen is off for a few minutes; is there a setting that I can change to keep the wifi active all the time, or, is it a function of the built in battery savings modes?
thanks!

weird... I have not encountered this issue.... my xoom is binging all the time when sleeping notifiying me of emails and such.

is it a wifi only model, or a 3g/wifi?
thanks

I have a wifi only version and no problems with wifi

ok, I guess I need to hear from more wifi owners to know if mine has a problem, or its my router..Although I have a brand new cisco/linksys e4200, so it shouldnt be the router..

I have the wifi only model.

I just looked at the settings... go into the wifi settings click the disconnect policy, and make sure "never" is clicked.

thanks, that was the first thing I did..
i also downloaded Spare Parts from the market to see if that would help, but so far it doesnt seem to help at all..
wonder if I have a bad unit..

May I ask why you would never want it to disconnect when screen is off? You will get more battery not using data when data is not needed... I had to go in and do the opposite because I noticed my xoom was draining more than normal when screen is off. Went down five percent in 1 hour which is not good once changing it; it didnt budge when screen is off. just my two cents..

Well if u want data for updates and oush notifications you'll need wifi on. Mines on all the time even when screens off and my battery life is amazing.
If you're having lots of battery drain u might wanna check your "awake" time in battery usage and make sure you don't have a rogue app or widget keeping the Xoom awake while the screen is off. The CNN widget was doing this for me.

Understood. Yea for some reason my awake time is matching my battery use time 100 percent however there is nothing that I can find causing it. Doesnt seem to be draining my battery at all however. I dont have a weather app or cnn app and my running services are just the google framework and core apps / maps ,goog voice. oh well.

It's called WIFI Sleep Policy. Set it to "never."

my thoughts exactly..
battery usage is amazing for me, even with all the widgets I have running on it, which are at least 10 or so..
Easily getting over 12 hours of battery life, which is good, since you cant plug the damn thing in while its standing up..
The engineer who placed the power hole on the bottom should be shot...

wifi calling beatdown

I use this app called Where's my droid power and I don't know how acruate it is but it supposed to show you where all of your power is going. So I let my phone run over night. droidpower showed that Wifi calling app that I told no to was chewing up the most power. My phone is already rooted so I used root explorer to go in and delete the app all together. This app maybe the center of all the stand by battery issues.
I will warn you if you delete the app the way I did android goes crazy and you have to take the battery out and restart but we'll see if its worth if the cell standby or phone idle stats drop.

Weird, can't you just turn it off? I use it a lot and it doesn't seem to kill the battery any more than I would expect. Doesn't seem to take up a lot of CPU either.
Maybe your app that showed it was an issue was incorrect?

When I first logged into the phone it asked me and I told it no, the app seems pretty acruate the 2nd on the ist was words with friends . Just because its not taking up cpu doesn't mean its not running as a back ground service which is proabably doing

Interesting, I told it yes so maybe saying no causes it to still run and eat up resources?

I guess because I've restarted my phone probably twice since telling it no and it showed up #1 on my list for power consumption.

I had WIFI calling on the top of my list too this morning after only using it for 5 minutes last night. So I cleared the data and forced stopped it and ever since it has been at the bottom of my list using only .22%.

First day of use coming up. With the phone more-or-less idle for a couple of hours (one call, little bit of use), Settings->About Phone->Battery Use says:
33% Cell standby
33% wifi calling
25% phone idle
11% display
It's been off charge for about 2.5 hours, and dropped to 85% from 99%. Extrapolating would give 16 hours total life. ZDBox says 15.6 hours remaining. If that works out I'll be happy. As long as I get to bed-time each day that's enough.

I'm hoping once we get CM7 on our phones that fix everything
But for now freeze or delete things

Yes just use Titanium Backup to freeze the Wifi Calling App

Losing battery life while phone is idle

Hello everybody, I notice lately my phone is losing about 10 percent battery life every 2 hours while it is idle. The funny thing is I have data off no text message and made one phone call. I don’t know what’s going on. I am running stock.

The Newest apps I downloaded were comicbook reader, Spotify and Netflix, but that shouldn’t matter right? Because my mobile data is off

that sounds about average to me. since its stock, i would just put Juice Defender on it and leave it set to "balanced", then see where youre at battery wise.
additionally, you could try Watchdog to see if theres any background apps that are consuming a ton of cpu(it can happen)

do you ever charge your phone in your car?
i know when you charge it via a wall charger or your PC, there's overcharge protection so realistically you can leave it "plugged in" as long as you'd like.
apparently though, if it gets fully charged and you still leave it plugged in in your car it can eventually do some damage to the battery and eventually kill it.
i had that happen to my old Galaxy S 4G & when i went to get a new battery they confirmed that that was the culprit.

You need to go into settings/ power/ and uncheck fast reboot . It runs all the time and eats up battery.

phone idle isnt as important as the time it says it's without a signal. if you arent getting a signal, it's looking for one and really really draining the battery

Yep TWS is the biggest culprit of battery drainage on these Android phones. If you're in a poor reception area, you're SOL because the phone will eat through the battery searching for a signal. I have an Epic and have similar battery drain issues due to this.

First, you should seriously consider rooting, then flash a custom rom & kernel. The stock rom is no battery sipper, and custom roms & kernels are much more efficient. I was getting ridiculous overnight drain (>20%) on stock, but now I'm getting only 1% per hour (6-8%). Also, grab Autostarts from the market. It prevents unnecessary apps from launching in the background & wasting battery (& memory)

It'll show in the about stats when you press on the phone usage stats how long it was without a signal if you want to look (in case you weren't aware). Also I would make sure your phone is set to use wifi when sleeping always and not mobile (under wifi settings → press menu → go to advanced).

My mobile data off when I'm at work. So pulled my phone off at 6 am, made one call, checked my email and now I'm down to 93 percent. This is just ridiculous seems like my battery getting worst by the day.

I'm at home now on WiFi...my mobile data is usually off all day at work. Watch dog only alerted me to dolphin browser and I always close that out when I'm finished. I don't know what's going on.

Why do I need to baby sit my phone to get good battery life?

This is not correct. The battery charge is controlled by the phone itself. the battery also has some electronics in it to limit the charge. The car charger provides 5 volts just like any USB port. You can (and I have) leave phone plugged into a car charger with no issues.
It is true that you should avoid charging the phone when it is HOT. So leaving it in a HOT car or any place HOT is a bad idea.

Checked the settings and my phone is using 3% battery life while it is idle. So I shouldn't be losing so much power. Is my battery damaged?

Yep, backing this guy up. The battery has it built in where it'll cut off the charge after it's full- and android has it that after it reaches 100% it'll let it drain down to ~90% because keeping it at 100% for extended periods of time is bad for the battery health.
For those more interested in your phone's battery and how charging works, check out this post:

If you're losing battery life when you're idle you have a few main reasons.
- First check to make sure you have a low min. set for your CPU, you don't want to have your CPU rev'd all the way up all the time- it's just not good.
- Download "spare parts" and check under "battery history" and you'll be able to see if you have a lot of GPS usage, data usage, CPU usage, etc.
- I'm not sure if mobile data turns both 4G and 3G off. I know the 4G here totally demolishes the battery, even more if you don't have it in your area.
If you don't have 4G and would like to save your battery from a painful death, do this (easy to change back)
*#*#4636#*#* -- Go to "Phone Settings" >> change to "CDMA auto (PRL)"
This will turn off 4G and stop it from searching, while still allowing you to use 3G and not have to turn off all data.
Hope at least one of those points helped you out and hope you get some better life because that's pretty bad, shouldn't be normal.

Losing 5%/hour is normal for my phone when it's sitting doing nothing. The battery is a joke. I have Juice Defender Ultimate and that brings it down to maybe 2-3%/hour.

How much battery you get?

Yesterday I recharged my H8 phone with my LeEco quick charger upto 97%.
I played games for 3 hours and 28 minutes and battery level came down to 9%.
Is this normal?
I'm running on stock EMUI and it has no root. Just has some 5-6 apps installed from play store like WhatsApp, fb Messenger, XDA....
And yeah I lost ~15% over night. ?

Yep,it's normal. In gaming i get like 3:30h sot and in normal use like 5-6h sot

3:30 while playing is OK, might be better with closing apps in background and using 720p.
During night 15 % is too much. You need either to change protected apps, or close all apps/turn off internet before going to sleep.
For me its 1-2% during night.

It's too much,i loose like 3 to 5% every night with only one app protected "Messenger" (facebook) and Wi-Fi off.

the drain overnight is due to facebook, messenger and whatsapp. they open in the background even after you close them using resources.

EMUI has built in battery management, if you charge it up to 100% before you go to sleep and come back and check in the morning, it should tell you what consumed your battery

I had the same issue, but when I turn off Wifi and Data it drains around 1% instead off around 15 - 20%.
Do I have to do a factory reset to make it work like normal, because it makes me pissed of that doze won't work as it should :/
Because when I put my phone on a table and just use my computer instead, I don't want it to drain :/

First of all, use the supplied charger that came with your device. As the Honor 8 has fast charging capabilities that require the use of the charger that came with the device. While you can use a different charger to charge the Honor 8, it will charge slower than with the supplied charger that came with the device.
Also depending on the game you are playing, the power consumption on your device will vary.

If You have either a weak data/and or wifi signal where you live this will usually cause excessive battery drain even overnight because your phone is constantly searching to keep connected to your network or to your mobile carrier. This is probably not something that a factory reset would solve.

Once again EMUI has built in battery management. YOU CAN CHECK AND IT TELLS YOU WHAT CONSUMED YOUR BATTERY. If it's an app, it'll tell you which app, unless it's hidden as Android System or Android OS, in which case it's something Google related. If you don't have a data connection then the offending app might not be able to do anything, it doesn't necessarily mean you have a weak network signal. Even if it was, it would tell you how much of the battery was spent searching for signals.

bought this phone as a back up for my 7 Plus. I'm loving it, very nice and getting just over 6hrs screen on time. No where near my 7 Plus but still great. Nougat is great too.

Getting double the SOT of my nexus 5x. Very satisfied!
@Alok Bajaj, there may be an app keeping your phone awake at night. Check that in battery manager.
Also, I keep my phone in airplane mode at night.

I'm impressed to hear that. Then again the Nexus 5X had horrible battery life.

Well I'm thinking of normal use case scenario here. Normally people don't turn on and off stuff everyday and night. Usually WiFi and cellular is always on in every phone. This weird that you put your phone in airplane mode at night to save battery.

General Excessive battery drain

I have all the bells and whistles turned off, uninstalled a ton of bloatware via ADB commands, and everything's been fine - great battery life. But then I charged up to 100% last night and when I awoke it was at 80%, then by 12 noon i was at 64% and this was with battery saver turned on. I checked battery usage and nothing was amiss. I don't get it, how is my battery draining so fast when I'm not even using it? There wasn't any firmware update, so I'm at a loss as to what the issue is.
So I reset the phone and set it up again, charged it back to 100%, then lost 4% in 90 minutes without even touching it. I'm guessing it's a hardware/battery problem.
Anyone else having this issue?

Try temporarily disabling Google play Services.
Google backup Transport and Playstore are dependencies of it. Backup Transport can do this. Normally I keep Play Services disabled unless I need it.

I've just charged to 100%, heading to bed. If I wake up and I have excessive drain again, I'm going to try your suggestion. Thanks for the tip!

Well still had huge battery drain with play services disabled. I factory reset yet again, removed all the bloatware I could, yet a charge to 100% is down to 94% after 2 hours of just sitting on table. I got a lemon. This is a straight talk pre-pay phone, so I'm not sure what to do next.

Disabling Google play Services may not fully stop the Backup Transport drain....
You need to find the apps causing the power drain, this is common on Samsung's.
Disable adaptive battery and the other power management junk*.
Factory resets are generally worthless; you need to find the root causes!!!
Disable only apps that are proven power hogs or are just to terrible to look at like Digital Wellbeing. If you disable a service needed by an app it may constantly keep polling for it. Use discression on what is removed.
Install a logging firewall if you can or otherwise see what apps are using bandwidth. Kill by altering their settings ie no background data/battery.
All cloud apps will likely be hogs. Social media apps shouldn't be on the device. Activate Developer options and use its tools. Use the tools in Device Care.
Turn off all Google, Samsung and carrier feedback. Android 12 may give tracking tools as well, I don't run anything higher than 10.

For logging firewall, there's this one I'm using nowadays. Show you how many requests all your apps do (spoiler : it's a lot)

I have no idea what im looking at with that app. I'm losing 2% battery per hour overnight with it sitting on my nightstand. The only things i see being used is "google play store" , " play services". "netd" & weather. I don't see anything out of the ordinary.
I did a factory reset yesterday, removed all the bloat (disabled or uninstalled) everything not needed that the phone would let me. I used ADB to set RAM + to zero only. This drain started 2 days ago and there's been no updates so I'm at a loss & actually think its a hardware problem. Phone is only 3 weeks old. I contacted Straight talk and they said I have send phone in and they'll send me a used one once they get it. I'm pissed.

I hope you are aware of the risks with uninstalling "bloatware" with ADB. This may result in problems. Return the phone to default (factory reset) to get all back and only remove stuff you can without using ADB.

You can temporarily screw up the OS but nothing that can't be reversed it with a factory data reset, which I did. Anyway, it was fine. Let's just say I may have dropped it from waist height and that's when this battery drain came up. I have it in a UAG case and a glass screen protector (I've dropped my iPhone much worse about 50 times and never had an issue). The phone and the case are in mint condition, it shouldn't be malfunctioning from a 3 foot fall on a sheet vinyl floor with a case on it. But it is. Maybe its just my unit, but this is a fragile phone.

If you're in an area with a poor cell signal, your smartphone will try to connect to the nearest cell tower and drain your battery quickly. I thought there was an issue with my Pixel 6 battery but after buying an iPhone 13, I later found out that poor cell signal does drain your battery rather quickly.
Try enabling WiFi Calling and choose WiFi as your preference, then enable Airplane Mode with just WiFi turned on. This is what I do when I'm at home and then turn off Airplane mode when I'm out and about (obviously).

That's not true itself. I'm in a poor cell area and normally only see 4% drain overnight with phones over the years. This is the amount I expect, no more. If any phone ever sees 10% or more overnight then it has a problem either software or hardware.

I've seen this with my last Samsung but 1-3 reboots in a row always fixes it for a week or two. Normally only needs 1 reboot a week. Its in a system installed app or code.
However, battery drains can be caused by literally anything lol. Any app can cause it. Any system app can cause it. Even the OS can cause it. It could be in anything technically.
Batteries can go bad but you'd likely see something else happening if the battery was going bad or if the fall did it. I really don't think that's the issue here but suppose if it is then you have an odd situation where the battery drains from 100% to 0% smoothly.

However, battery drains can be caused by literally anything lol. Any app can cause it. Any system app can cause it. Even the OS can cause it. It could be in anything technically.
Batteries can go bad but you'd likely see something else happening if the battery was going bad or if the fall did it. I really don't think that's the issue here but suppose if it is then you have an odd situation where the battery drains from 100% to 0% smoothly.

No, it was dropped from 3 feet onto a sheet vinyl floor, no visible damage but that's when it started. Something internally got messed up. It took a month but Straight Talk sent me a new A53, and no battery drain at all now. Straight Talk is another issue...smh

Oh, I didn't notice the data gap with the last reply just made last week lol.
Really though a phone replacement doesn't mean it wasn't software. I'm an app developer and can't even go simply based on that.
Is it possible to have a smoothly draining battery from a drop? Probably in some rare weirdly odd corner of the universe lol. Maybe you did find the corner.
At least its solved anyway. That's really all that counts.

Yeah, the small drop was definitely the issue; Wi-Fi was not connecting or not staying connected. It wasn't software, I reset the device and same issue. It must've popped Wi-Fi antenna loose or caused a short somewhere. New phone and now I lose 1 - 2% overnight. Now to unlock it from straight Talk.
