Wi-fi will not sleep when phone not in use....

I'm on stock 4.2.1 ROM and Franco r23.
I have my Wi-Fi policy set to "never", which should turn it off when the screen is off and the phone is sleeping.
But it's not doing that and I don't know why?
I use Better Battery Stats and an attaching a couple of screens so that someone can suggest why the Wi-Fi refuses to shut off and allow the phone to truly enter deep sleep. The second screen shot shows that Gmail is the top process in terms of battery usage, so I'm wondering if that's the culprit as gmail sync is always set on push, and can't be changed to any other schedule?
If so, this is a huge oversight by Google.

I have the same issue but worse.
Not only does my wifi not turn off no matter what the setting is, it does shut off my mobile connection.
When I turn on the phone after a long time period I see the mobile connection triangle blacked out and after a few seconds turns back on.
After that the issue continues even when the phone isn't in deep sleep. VERY ANNOYING
But no matter what the wifi is always alive.
Still not sure this isn;t a hardware problem and if it is I'm ruined because I don't live in the states.
Let me know if you find a solution, I'll do the same.
BTW I'm on 4.2.1 stock rom as well .

same here, wifi stays on, even if in deep sleep...

Other strange problem, when I manually disable WiFi, like 2 times in picture, data does not turn on. I have to switch 2G-3G and it connects or airplane.
This is not fair, finally after all those years waiting perfect andorid phone... like someone previously said Nexus 4 is like Bugatti, nice, fast and powerful but only for few miles.

[Q]WiFi automatically turns on?

I need some help. My wifi just keeps randomly turning on throughout the day and its really annoying. I checked my settings and im pretty sure there is nothing that would do that but I could be wrong. Anyone had the same issue? Anyone know how to fix it?

I'm seeing this as well with a Bell Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337M). I have no idea what's causing it.

Ok. I think I *may* have figured it out.

Im using qualcomm battery guru and I went to the app to check my battery savings and I came across the manage wifi option. It basically says it will turn your wifi on and off based on your previous usage. Ill report back in a little wilhile to see if that fixed my issue.

I had this happen on mine and I think it was something to do with AT&T Smart Wifi. I don't remember though.

I don't use this app so I'm not sure if that's necessarily the issue, unless something similar is built into the Qualcomm chipset itself. It does seem to always enable itself at certain points of the day, I'm going to keep an eye out for a correlation.

So ever since disabling WiFi yesterday it hadn't turned on, and I thought it might have fixed itself. Today, I went the whole morning without WiFi and without touching the phone and when I looked at it later on it was enabled. I checked the battery stats and noticed that WiFi seemed to automatically enable itself the moment I woke up the screen to check a message a little while earlier.
I've also noticed that when this happens, it won't actually connect to my WiFi network when it's in range like it's not actually scanning for any networks. It also won't let me know of any open access points. If I disable and enable WiFI again, it connects like it should, or if I go into Settings -> Wireless, it'll scan for networks and connect fine as well.
It seems like this is a software bug that Samsung needs to address.

Extreme Battery Drain

My phone's battery is constantly being drained by one thing or another. I shut off location services, and Google Search becomes the problem. I shut off Google Search, and Play Services drains the battery. I uninstalled Play Services and now my battery use looks like this.

I don't know what to do. Is it time for a factory reset? I am rooted, but stock. I assume I would have to unroot before a reset.

Give us some specific numbers and we might be able to help. The screenshot you put up means nothing. Either more info or BBS screenshots (or maybe even Wakelock Detector)

Yeah, hop on Android Market. Download Wakelock Detector and the next time you pull it off of the charger leave it be for a couple hours. It'll keep track of what is keeping your phone from sleeping. For example your phone can be awake without the screen being on, and that's probably where the issue lies. Make sure it's set to CPU Wakelock. Then come back with some screens of that. We'll get a better idea of what we me be able to do to help.

I've been using Wakelock Detector, but I guess I am unable to interpret the results. They seem inconsistent. My phone was recently rebooted and is being charged, but I will post a shot of WD later. The top result earlier today was Google Music (which I almost never use). It did not seem like a terribly long period of time it was on, though. I think it was less than 6 minutes. I turned off sync for it regardless.
I assume BBS BetterBatteryStats. I'll go purchase it.
Thanks for the help. I do appreciate it.

Hm... How long have you had the phone? If you're in the grace period still, it couldn't hurt to replace it. Every now and then, defectives slip through. Knowing how well the G2 battery is supposed be, I do it very unusual that you're suffering a hit in that department.
Edit: I still think there has to be a rogue app somewhere. Especially with android system taking so much of your battery.

Battery is almost full, doesn't seem odd to me with phone sleep. Need wakelock info form BBS.

Stopping the newest OTA

Connected to WiFi today and my phone started downloading the update. Turned off wifi and it stopped at 25%
I would take this Ota but it prevents KitKat roll back. Is there anyway to stop it short of Permenantly staying on 4G?
Also, does anyone have the modem from the latest OTA?
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Free mobile app

The latest OTA is horrible. My note 3 won't get anything higher than 2 bars on 4G and it seems to lag a bit with performance. The battery went from almost 18 hours on a single charge with constant use to 4 hours... if I'm lucky. I've hard reset, discharged, recharged, and nothing replaces the battery drain. I think it's a con by Verizon to get Note3 users to buy a new phone. I don't recommend it, although they did supposedly patch for that silly MMS vulnerability going around. Sad times for Note 3 users... and getting worse.

TicWatch GPS Drain overnight

Hey everybody!
I have noticed some strange behavior with my TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS.
During the day, the power consumption is moderate and absolutely acceptable. However, the power consumption is significantly increased at night.
Looking for the cause, I found out with the help of Battery Historian that the GPS is obviously the reason.
When I go to sleep, I always turn on Airplane Mode on the watch to further limit all network activity and save power, and turn it off accordingly after I get up.
I have attached a screenshot from Battery Historian. I have inserted the vertical red bars as markers, when the Airplane Mode was activated or deactivated by me.
The process that activates the GPS seems to be Wear OS itself (com.google.android.wearable.app).
I had also already reset the watch to factory settings.
The first night, interestingly, GPS is only ever activated briefly. Whereas on the second night GPS is almost constantly active.
Before the factory reset, the GPS behavior looked similar.
So far, I had always left GPS activated on the watch, since I assumed that it would also be deactivated when Airplane Mode was activated. However, a look into the settings told me that this is not the case.
Ultimately, I do not understand why the watch wants to access the GPS constantly and almost permanently when Airplane Mode is active.

I've exactly the same problem. I was getting crazy as the watch consumed 3 time more battery overnight with airplane mode than during the day.
Maybe the problem is related to not having a connection to the phone. As far as I know, when the watch is connected to the phone, it doesn't use its own GPS. I assume there must be some internal process (like updating the weather) that tries to get GPS signal.
I'll try different setting combination on the next nights

Dear friends,
I came here for the same exact issue and I'm glad it is a known bug and it was detected.
I'm asking to the OP which is the app you use to have that battery stats. I need it also
Thanks in advance

Same issues here, can anyone post the link to ticwatch FB on this issue?
I don't think the affected WearOS version is something we can really opt-out ...
