After the latest update I've noticed that when only using my phone, location just turns on by itself. With the notification at the top you can see how it's grayed out but once it goes away, it turns on. Basically... This is annoying, I don't want my battery going down the drain and I don't know what is causing this.

I had this happen before the update though...
It only seemed (and still does after the update) to happen when you had location set to High Accuracy.
They are watching you! ?

Turn off wifi calling. I believe it is verifying that you are calling from your known E911 address that you had setup. Mine turned on today (without the update) when I activated wifi calling.

My WiFI Sleep Policy is set to default (After 15 min) however the WiFi is always on. The icon is there when I turn my screen on. Checked the battery usage graph also, and WiFi is always on (as long as I don't turn if off manually).
I have a stock ROM, the latest European stock ROM.
Is this a bug? What does 'After 15 min' actually mean?
I believe it means the wifi will turn off 15 minutes after the screen goes off, and then back on with screen on.
I thought so too, but mine isn't doint that.

I know there was a recommendation to set "Never" as the sleep policy. I can't find that post unfortunately. I know on my Desire with CM7 it resulted in better battery life, counter intuitive but......
I know. I've had it set to Never on my Desire. But now I'm seeing longer standby with the current setting (After 15 min) on my Sensation compared to the Desire. Although I suspect it isn't working and it's actually never turning off.

Lol, same upgrade here. TBH I've left it at Never and not tried the other policies.
I use WiFi when at home, I'm on a 3G data plan ( I'm guessing WiFi sleeping means I wouldn't get updated Gmail. Or does it revert back to 3G ?
WiFi sleeping means going back to 3G, yes.

Thanks, might just try it and see.
Does anyone think that instead of going to sleep after 15 minutes of the screen being turned off (regardless of whether there are background apps that have active internet connections), the WiFi actually starts sleeping after 15 minutes of idle time? I think this would be a better efficiency algorithm, so, as long as you have apps that constantly use the internet, keep WiFi connected, but when no apps are doing auto-sync or any background data, only turn on WiFi when manually using the apps..
Applications can be programmed to call for a WiFi lock. If any active application does so, WiFi won't shut off when the phone is asleep.

I remember that old tips thread. It was set your wifi sleep policy to never. Install spare parts+ or pro and set end button behaviour to sleep. And something to do with Market app. Settings->notifications-> uncheck the box. For some reason market notifications were not allowing your phone to go to sleep properly or some garbage like that. Its worth a shot.
Hi all,
A coworker bought the SGS3 on my recommendation and its battery life is absolutely horrendous. He went into the advanced wifi menu and changed the one setting to Never as was recommended here. But with wifi manually turned off it will just turn itself on like every minute. Then it goes back off after a few seconds then it turns itself back on after a minute and repeat, etc.
I can be in the settings menu looking at the wifi screen and the toggle is set to off, and it will just turn itself on.
I'm thinking this probably has something to do with the terrible battery life. He can only get to about 2pm each day before having to recharge and he is not a power user. something definitely wrong with the phone.
The phone is running stock software and is on the latest update LHE not rooted or unlocked.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.

There is a thread on this already: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878779.
For me the issue was Tower Defense, which had in it's permissions that it could change the WiFi state. I suggest you look through all the recently downloaded apps for one that can change the WiFi state.

Yes, I saw that thread. I've gone into the wifi advanced settings and made sure all the auto-connect and wifi data hog settings were set to off. nobody has found out the definite cause of this? He doesnt have Tower Defense installed. It's obviously a flaw as tons of people have this issue.
It's very disappointing because it's ruining an otherwise good phone. Who wants a phone that with only light usage is dead everyday by 2pm??
Disclaimer: I searched the forums but couldn't find anything relevant.
Am I the only one whose tf700 acts really sluggish after it wakes up for a minute or two?
Is there any solution to this? It kills my main use case of the tablet (pick it up when I want to look at something in a pinch, and put it away when I'm done).
I'm on official ROM, rooter but not unlocked. This has been happening with the previous firmware versions as well.
I had the same problem for a while... most of the time I woke the tablet from sleep it'd be very sluggish.
I noticed that this happens when the wifi disconnected during sleep... it would have to reconnect and therefore all the services that required wifi would all start at the same time, throttling the system.
Turns out its the special setting in ASUS Customized Settings, "Disconnects network during sleep" that was causing this. It does exactly what it says, suspends network-related tasks when the screen goes off and resumes on screen on.
I initially turned this on because i was worried network tasks would drain my battery on sleep, but there doesn't really seem to be much of a performance difference with it on or off. So I'm leaving it off for now.

Also try a clean boot.
Hold down the volume down and power button when you power it on from cold. Let it go through the next screen without touching and it will clear cache automatically.
This does help as well anyway.
It's probably still quicker than most of us after we wake up..... Have you tried coffee?
Try turning off all bloatware. Mine used to be incredibly sluggish when waking up, and when I checked it turned on about 25-ish apps everytime i woke it up. Rubbish like Google Now, Talk, Gallery, etc. This slows the poor thing down to an insane level. Turned off all the random crap I would never use anyway, did a coldboot (sbdags describes the process up one post ^) and now it's instantly awake.
Hello!
I finally received my OnePlus One and after setting it up I noticed that the phone will not turn off WiFi in sleep mode even though it's set to Never keep on WiFi during sleep. I suspect a wifi lock of some sort and I'm also noticing that after a period of time in sleep mode, wifi will periodically turn on and off for short duration.
I installed BetterBatteryStats, Wakelock detector and GSAM Battery Monitor but I can't find a clue as to what's keeping the WiFi on, or why.
Another thing I just noticed is that when charging now for the second time, the notification LEDs are not turning on while charging or when it's fully charged. It worked for the first time when I was charging it yesterday.
I am running all incremental upgrades (2 were installed when received yesterday), the device is rooted.
Could you help me find the app or setting that is keeping WiFi enabled and sometimes prevents the phone from entering deep sleep?
Thank you.

Already done when I first got it. But thanks.
Does anyone have any idea on the charging light though as well ? It's enabled in the settings, everything is set up as it should be, indicator is working for other notifications but it's NOT turning on when charging or when fully charged.
EDIT: Figured that LED part out: turns out I accidentally disabled it during the quiet hours. :silly: But I still have the peristent WiFi on problem :/
So you're not getting any wakelocks show up when investigating via any of the apps you mentioned in the OP?

No, nothing significant. And most of the time phone is not awake but wifi still stays on.
Are you actually experiencing bad battery life?
Transmitted via Bacon
I'm not experiencing a bad battery life, no. But I'm still interested in what's keeping the WiFi on when I explicitly set it to turn off when screen is off/phone is not awake. "Never settle", I guess.
Bump - so, is there a way to detect "wifi locks" and apps that turn it back on periodically while sleeping?
Can someone please explain to me whats meant by cdma bug? And also what wifi mac adress is? I mean how will these affect the device.. Not looking for technical info simple and short
Thank you
The CDMA thing is just if your mobile network uses CDMA, and that's just an issue where you have to set preferred network type on first boot.
The MAC address is the address that your device uses on a wifi network (a bit like an IP address). The issue is that it's randomised every time you reboot, so some router things like QOS and whitelisting won't work, but for normal use it doesn't really matter.
Hope this helps ☺

THANK YOU I will give CM A try then I thought the CDMA meant no signal lol and the MAC address thing meant no wifi or would limit both the capabilities

Well if you don't set the thing at first boot it is no signal, so remember
I have another thing to report:
The headphones are set to VERY high volume. Even if i turn the volume to the minimum during a call, it is still too loud.
I often have awake and screen on, but i dont actually have screen turned on. How can i see which process is doing this or fix it?

Does the "double tap to wake" set to on ?
it maybe because of that

It is, yes. But i was most active on phone that day from 8-16, and in that time you can see that awake and screen-on just kept increasing and didnt "shut off" at all later that day even though not much was going on with the phone. If i remember i even restarted the phone (that sliver missing on the graph).
Right now i have this kind of usage, the way it is supposed to be (ok, not sure whats wrong with the signal, but lets leave that alone for now)
Could it be some app not letting the phone go to sleep or what?

I dont know what happen. But what i saw from your 1st SS, the screen doesn't go to sleep.
U can see what apps that use much battery by simply go back from History details.
On my Battery use stat, Screen always be gonna be the biggest usage (and that's normal). If l lock the phone, the phone does go to sleep (means screen is off and not using the battery until i turn it back on).
On Cyanogen dev thread for our device, some people have bad battery life when double tap to wake is on (me too).
Maybe it's not well implemented yet. So that's why i rather choose not to use that feature for a while until it well implemented.
Ok, thanks for your thoughts. I didnt chech which app used the most power, but perhaps it was Exchange not being able to sign in. I will monitor the behavior (during weekend it should be a lot longer battery life).
Yeah, i think dt2w is not optimised. As long as i have full day of battery it should be enough and for now that is the case.
The volume bug is annoying though.
is it only me that has an issue with Notifications on this phone? It seems that when I am on wifi my internet stops or something.. is there a setting or something I have missed?
No, a lot of users are reporting this bug. I suggest you try the app "Heartbeat fixer for GSM" or "PNF Root" which could fix this. I install one or the other as soon as I get a new phone, and I don't have issues with push notifications that I've noticed so far, but I haven't tested the Mi4C on WiFi yet.

Did you try from scratch?
I put on TWRP, deleted EVERYTHING (system, data, cache...) then put on CM and gapps (opengapps - ARM64 - pico) in one go and for me it works like it should.
About my awake problem: I have left the phone more or less alone during the weekend and it seems it works like expected. I will observe if i find any more strange behaviour like i did a few days ago.
Seems that it sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't the two apps that are mentioned above don't seem to be making a difference.. The funny thing is when I am not connected to WIFI the phone seems to be running fine (notification wise). But when the screen is off and I am on wifi the device seems to be going into some sort of deep sleep most of the times. I think after 2-3 days it hasn't been as bad, but I do get 1 or 2 random hangout notifications not appearing at all..
