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

I have searched the forum but can't find an answer. Please excuse me if this has been answered a million times.
My wifi immediately finds my local router and connects, but then continually scans to find others. It never stops.
Help!

Well now...don't I feel a "right idiot."
Seems like it must be pulling battery down for nothing. Although, I have no beef with battery life.
Thanks.
When that happens to me I turn off wireless for a minute, then turn it back on. Then it just connects and stops scanning.

I believe if you go into the settings menu you may find that the wifi intermittently scans even when your connected if i am wrong i apologies but all my previous android devices did this as well
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.

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

[Q] "Cells Standby" cause Battery Drain after 5.0.1 update? Gsam picture Included
Battery Drain turns faster after I update N5 to 5.0.1 and ReRooted.
the update used this Method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57621585&postcount=15
Current state:
Rooted
Google Now Enabled
Location Reporting Disabled
GPS Disabled
Screen Light: Auto
Singal Strengh: -65dBm 23asu
And the Gsam screensnap is listed below.
My question is :
1. How to make the battery drains slowly ? when I am in 4.4.4, it is much more better, maybe it is caused by 5.0.0 or 5.0.1 ?
2. Is the battery draining mainly by "Cells Standby" ? I can see it in top of "Battery" of "Settings", but when I use Gsam to analyse, the "Cells Standby" seems all right?
Thanks.
If you hardly use your screen, other things will be the biggest users of battery.

Yes, but when I use the screen more frequently, the "Cell Standby" is still the biggest drainer in "battery" of "setting", which never happend in 4.4.4.
It's probably an app keeping your phone awake. Seems you have almost 17 hours awake, out of almost 20. Try to use an app similar to Better Battery Stats to check what's keeping your phone awake.
It might be Google Play Services.
You can use Disable Service app (you're rooted) and try to untick some Google Services Syncs. See post 2 in Battery Troubleshooting thread of this forum. Other option would be Greenify. Good luck.

My guess is an app that trigger google play service
try with safe mode too see if it's 3rd party apps related

BBS? Thanks, I will try.
BTW, can Gsam be used to check it?

Maybe. But this can't explain why cells standby used the most battery.

Same as a windows computer. Boot into safe mode, runs minimal services and apps.

If the mobile radio is being used I believe it falls under this bracket.

I don't know if you noticed before but the issues lies on the exclamation mark on the wifi and cellular icons if you see them frequently.
I had abad battery drain issue before. I solved the problem by luck. I owned a Linksys WAG320 modem before. Someday it become bricked than I bought an Asus N55. Wakelocks gone that day. So I made a test at my office where a bad wifi connectivity exists. At the office there's still wakelocks than I realized that the issue ise bad wifi connectivity.
So you must find yours. I think it would be a bad cellular data (not cellular itself because you have a good cellular connectivity).
I rooted my T-Mobile 5.1.1 S6 using unikernel and my battery life is craptacular. In addition, mobile data keeps turning itself on, even when I try to turn it off. On top of that, the battery setting has disappeared from the settings menu. What gives? What the heck should I do? Thanks in advance!
I have Unibase bog8 Anda batteri life is really good. Try another.

Could be something wrong with your firmware, try reflashing your rom?
Thank you for the replies! Turns out it's a bad idea to freeze the "smart manager" app. That was the problem!

haha luckily wasn't something related to hardware!
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.
