Since my upload to MM, battery timing has been troublesome. I've reset network settings multiple times. Screen on time is sometimes less than 3 hours. Sometimes above 5 hours. I love this phone but this battery problem with the update is driving me crazy.
Should I factory reset my phone? What would that entail?

If you are on Stock, i would try two Factory Resets in series. One direktly in Android and after booting up the next one through recovery.
I recently posted on this subject:
Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep: Never.
Settings > Location > three dots (top right) > Wi-Fi scanning: Can be on or off
Viber > General > Wi-Fi sleep policy > Use device's settings
In my experience with Stock ROMs, this issue (Wi-Fi always active in Battery Stats even though sleep policy is set to: Never) is caused by an installed app.
Viber has a setting in General > Wi-Fi sleep policy.
Not every app will have such an option, but check. All you can do if the issue persists is to clean install ROM and one by one start adding your apps to see when the problem reoccurs.
There may be apps (or an xposed module) that will allow you to stop apps changing the Wi-Fi sleep policy. I've not done any research on the topic.
Wi-Fi Scanning can be enabled or disabled and does not have an affect.

Hi, I'm having a serious issue here. I unplugged my Transformer from my charger about about 11am today. I have used it, according to the screen on time in the settings, for 34 minutes. (it's now about twelve hours later.) However, the battery life is at 64%. I just don't understand this. My wi-fi is set to disconnect when screen turns off, and brightness is at about 55-60%. But look at this.

Does anybody have a clue what could be going on? If you need more information about what state it is in, I'll be glad to provide more details. It seems like this started after I updated to 3.2, but that could be unrelated.
After updating did you set up the wifi power saving again? There is a bug in android where this setting gets reset when the device is rebooted

Yeah, I double checked when I posted this and it was still on "when screen turns off".
Try using juice defender. And check your running services/applications/auto sync cuz i see there alot of wifi actifity and your device is awaken even though the screen is off.
You could try using an app called Sysem Panel by NextApp.
You will need the paid version so that you can turn on the Monitoring option in the settings - this allows you to monitor the CPU usage over 2h/8h/1d/3d.
You can also monitor Top App usage of CPU which is fantastic for identifying the culprit.
Seeing poor wifi connectivity post flash, anybody else seeing this?. Tends to manifest as regular drop outs. Unfortunately reallylimitedthe usability of the rom for me and had to go to kk 4.3.
Did you set the wifi regulatory domain correctly ?
No issues with wifi here
Apologies for dumb question. Where/when is that set?
Settings > Wifi > 3 dots Menu (Top right) > Advanced > Change Wifi Regulatory Domain
Done after the install when it first boots
I use CH13 for my wifi, and the TF can't see that channel until I choose "EMEA and Rest of World" as my domain > reboot

Great thanks. I certainly hadn't set it previously, so it would have been the default value. Think I'll wait for the next stable 4.4 release to come out (once I've done my back ups on 4.3 :^) ) and try it again. The inner geek in me wants to be on 4.4.....
As an aside, can I ask a quick question? On 4.2 when the SD disc is mounted it shows up in the activity box (top left). On my installs of 4.3 & 4.4 it doesn't (shows that it is preparing the sd when inserted, but not subsequently). Is this normal behaviour? Was this dropped by google or was it an Asus specific inclusion?
Hmm not sure, Tim the dev would be best to answer that for you, when I was running 4.2.2 I was using the Tablet UI mode which has all the notifications at the bottom right and rarely removed the MicroSD Card, I generally only use it for Nandroid backups and copying ROMs to via FTPServer app so it normally just stays put
Apparently my accelerometer and light is keeping my phone awake, it's in Android system.

Anyone have any suggestion why this is happening?

Go to settings => Privacy Guard => Three dot menu => Advanced => Look for Android System => Deny Keep Wake, Location and Wake up permissions.. Doesn't harm your system anyway.

Actually it does, now I can't unlock my phone when pressing the power button and I have to restart it every time I want to use it.

I am on 44S and I've done above settings which I suggested you and I am having very few wakelocks and no issues with powering on
Hi there. My first thread here ... feel a little nervous.
I've got a question for you: if I activate my GPS there comes this dialog "improve my location accuracy (or something like that)". I checked, by accident, the checkbox "don't ask me again" and now I always get my location for all sources (WLAN, mobile cell, GPS). How can I retract this setting? I want to be able to choose my type of location finding again. Thanks a lot in advance.
Device: Google Nexus 5 (of course)
OS: Android Marshmellow (Stock ROM)
Settings -> location -> mode

Thanks for this, but not what I meant.
When I have location disabled and I enable it ... there is this dialog. If you check the box it default enables all sources (WLAN, mobile cell, GPS). The dialog gives me the chance to choose from "just device GPS" or "all sources WLAN, mobile cell, GPS".
You have those options in Settings -> location -> mode:

The setting resets to high accuracy when location is turned off and on again. How to reset this dialog. One solution is to clear data of Google play services. How do I do this without clearing data?

Clearing data is the only way to do it. Or you have to manually switch the mode each time you turn it in..

In many cases when I want to transfer files wirelessly via apps like SSHDroid (SFTP), other FTP servers or KSWEB (http) or Airdroid, a few minutes after the screen turns off, I cannot transfer files anymore as the connection is down. When I turn on the screen, the connection resumes..
In all these server apps I have enabled Wifi alive (i.e. keep wifi on when screen off), but it presumably it does not work very well.
It appears that the wifi always turns off when the screen is off, regardless of settings.
Is there an app which keeps the wifi alive when the screen is off ? I tried tTorrent running 'dummy' just hoping to keep wifi alive when using one of these file transfer apps, but that does not always work either.
i assume you have the wifi setting to remain on even when in sleep mode?

Of course and I have disabled to kill 'battery consuming' apps, see screenshot of 'Settings => Battery => [cogwheel top right]'.
But the screen is a worst battery hog as using file transfer over wifi requires the screen on.

In WiFi settings, tap on the configure cog wheel icon and change it from there. No need for another app.
