Battery stats says wifi has been on when it hasn't - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I review my battery usage it shows wifi on all day when it hasn't. Is something enabling wifi even when it is off? I have been on lte all day.

not being connected to wifi does not mean wifi adapter is off. check that first

Wifi is off on notification drop down. Confirmed in settings.

Under WiFi advanced settings you will see 'scanning always available'. Turn that sodding thing off.

That's it! Thanks and beers to you.

Hello everyone, I just have a quick question about the internet.

Hmmmmm....
Did you think to turn of the WIFI?
I know it is really a high-tech solution but I think it might work.....
Yeah I turned off the wifi but it turns on by itself and connects to.my AP

Yeah its mostly the same except I don't have the Auto Connect option

The only thing I can think of is that this may have something to do with setting WiFi to never sleep.

Data disconnects when screen off.

Anyone else seeing this. Doesn't matter if on WiFi or not when the screen goes off the data disconnects and background data is no longer functioning. Is this a problem with the phone or a feature. I only ask because it disconnects Google talk and when I pick up the phone I get all my notifications from gmail, Facebook, etc.

My HTC does this as a feature. In wireless, you can hit settings and it brings up an advanced settings tab where you can set sleep. But It's on sense 2.1 so it may not have anything to do with your problem.

And as soon as it connected you got all your notifications?
This shows that background data is not working properly....

Are you sure you don't have "restrict background data" checked?

Settings -> WiFi -> menu -> Advanced
Make sure "Wi-Fi optimization" is checked and "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to "Always".

Both of those are as you said. I'm going to try turning off optimization and see if that fixes it
Update: still has the same problem. Anyone have any ideas?

It appears this is a WiFi only issue as it doesn't happen on hspa at all for me

GPS on while you turn it off

I checked my battery today and joticed that the GPS was on all night. And when I checked if the GPS was on, it wasnt.

Maybe your phone is looking for the next outlet?

Acceptable battery drain?

Just curious if 2.5-3% drain an hour is the norm. This is with location off, sync off, Wi-Fi most of the time, auto brightness.

Depends on phone configuration and check if you have a wake lock.
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
Also depends what you're doing, just sat on the home screen will use much less power than streaming music.
6 hours screen a per charge seems to be the normal.

I don't even get 3% drain with 6 hours of 'sleep' time with location/sync/wifi on.
You're asking about drain, as in if you're not using the phone?
Yeah, that is not even using the phone. I greenify everything save alarm app and textra
