Hello guys. I noticed that after 6.0.1 wifi drains my battery when it's off and not even kept on during sleep (it's set on never). Wi-Fi frequency band is automatic though. Location is set on battery saving mode.
When I go to battery details the first thing to appear after charging the phone to the full is Wi-Fi to 1%. The time running increases little by little, no CPU usage and the computed power use also rises in mAh as time goes by.
Thanks!

I don't have that option. Network notification is foggy and can't change it.

My wifi literally turns off over night. I made sure that the wifi always on is toggled. What gives?

An application that is set to turn it off every night at a certain time? Or else the battery saver settings kicking in to turn off WiFi to save power?

Just to clarify, you have checked the "keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" under advanced Wi-Fi settings set to "always"?

The TF201 didn't run on Jellybean... Different OS version, different rules.
Jellybean introduced Battery Saver. It automatically turns everything off to conserve power.

You can disable the auto-power-off-battery-saver stuff in the Settings app...

Not impacting battery that much but what's up with this? It's been off the entire time.

Do you have Scanning always available enabled under Settings - WiFi - Advanced ? This setting allows wifi to stay on even when turned off for some location based stuff.

Anyone else experiencing their N5 in a lot of wake time? My phones been on only 5 hours, but theres a sh*t ton of awake in blue in my battery stats. Would better battery stats be able to identify this better?
Anyone else with a similiar experience?
have you got Wi-Fi set to constantly scan?

Most common wake lock is wlan_rx_wake. I still don't know how to fix it.

Thx guys it was enabled. I'll try turning it off.

Did that the minute I got my phone. Also turned off auto sync and location completely.

I have selected the option "Never" in the "Keep WiFi on during sleep" but still my battery history shows a long blue line under "Wifi" regaurdless of the "Screen On" bar.
I tried turning off the "Scan always Available" option too, but the problem still exists.
I problem persists in all the 4.4.2 ROMs I have used, including stock.
Is this a bug? or did I miss something?

I think the function in the Wi-Fi setting had bug. It didn't work for me.
U should use tasker to sleep ur Wi-Fi every screen off. That's what I'm doing.

Hey all
I had a wake lock trigger that was draining my battery so I decided to try and find what was causing it. I turned off all background sync and disabled GPS. I charged my phone to full and then let it drain over night. As you can see in screen shots... Massive drain occurred with no visual signs of the cause. Anyone have an idea?

Did you get any shots of the Kernel Wakelocks and Partial Wakelocks screens in bbs? That's where you would see the culprit(s). Also, do you ever do soft reboots? Some people (including myself) have experienced increased battery drain with no visible wakelocks after soft rebooting. Doing a full reboot seems to fix it.

It's definitely something using Wi-Fi. Need more in depth analysis

I checked those but there was nothing abnormal. I'd done a reboot when I flashed the kernel back to stock pa.

I've disabled wifi and it drained to dead. Going to recharge to full and see what it does off wi-fi. What could I do to see why/if wi-fi is killing it?
You can see it is draining it in your screen shots. Maybe you didn't fully disable the background Wi-Fi usage. "scanning always enabled" for example

Doesn't look like its disabled correctly. Your screenshot shows nearly 8 hours Wi-Fi.
Maybe there is a bug in your settings data.
Not sure if you're rooted or not but maybe a backup / wipe is the best course of action

Here's the current setting. I guess I can factory reset again. I'll try that after this current charge cycle.

You could try booting the phone into safe mode to see if it's a 3rd party app, though unnecessary if you plan on trying a full reset anyways.

Factory reset, no syncing enabled, no auto updates, google now disabled, no apps other than stock gapps installed. Still high android os usage.

while at first it looks high, in reality it isnt(yet). in your screenshot you have only lost 5% battery so far with light use. at this point you really cant tell what your battery will be like with use.

ahh, thats a little better, but itll drop a little more with use. while 20 is a little high, id still classify as normal. really anything up to 20% is normal. typically, after a full cycle, i see android os between 9-15%. but it would all depend on exactly how you use your phone.

i see that chrome(and chrome sandbox) is taking a huge amount of battery for very little use. 21% together, just to respond to xda..
Install system monitor from play store and check CPU freq and number of CPU's online while screen on.

As said above....use the phone normally and check when its almost drained. It will surely be much lower.
If location is on...it will probably be higher than 10% I'd guess. If so....completely normal.
