i dont want to start a new thread but this si wifi related
since a few days ago every time i turn the wifi on and go into to select networks i dontget that screen anymore. like my home wifi works cuz it has the password. but i cant connect to other networks :S
why this is i think it has something to do with me deleting the profiles for wifi networks i dont use anymore
since then i cannot see even the wifi icon in the top bar all i see is the <-> arrows with out the antenna in the background
nor can i find that page where i deleted the networks from :SS where is it ??
is this a symptom of what is described in this thread??

How I more than Doubled my Battery life with a simple toggle.

Greetings,
Guys, first of all, I'm no pro, this worked for me, it may not work for you, and its not the 'solution' for people who wish to be connected to internet 24/7.
- I have no Dataplan, Vibrant would connect and eat through my balance on EDGE/GPRS.
- I downloaded an app from Google Market, "Quick Settings" (search for it)
- Run Quick Settings and Turn off Mobile Data. It should show "Disconnected"
Basically, I did this with intention to save my precious hard earned money but the side effect appears to be that my Battery life suddenly has gone insane.
Before when I did have GPRS on, I would regularly check Advanced Task killer and kill apps in attempt to stop apps from connecting.
My use has been more or less same, I'm not a Power user, just take it to office, use now and then, and the battery would finish up in ~9 hours, 10 tops.
Anyway, here is the result

You can do this by just holding power then pressing Data Network.. or simply going into WiFi settings and disabling the phone from being connected from the internet.
Of course if you're using the phone without it being connected to the internet, a lot of power isn't going to be consumed. It's a smartphone, supposed to use the internet on it.
A tip I would recommend is to use SuperPower and it can do a bunch of tweaks to improve your battery (screen off; disables data.. things like that).

i dont have a dataplan either, but i DO text, if i do that, will it just turn off all communications like text and phone calls? I only use web when im at home with my WIFI.

I'm just wondering, why did you get a smartphone with no data? I see that you're not even using wifi. Why not just get a Windows 6.1 phone or a Blackberry or something?

I do have access to WiFi, tho I use it more at home and other places, less during work.
I dont have a data plan because there is only EDGE/GPRS available on it, no 3G *yet*.
So when I do want to check on something, I simply turn it on for a minute or two, check on my mails or anything else etc and be done. Otherwise, what was happening was, I'd get connected even tho when I did not wanted it to connect. It was costing me for nothing. I can do other syncs etc at home or 100 other places that have wifi.
I did not get Windows 6.1 phone or Blackberry is because Android > them both. I assume you know that already. + Awesome screen is awesome.
As I said very clearly earlier and I shall repeat it for you, this may be useful for people who have same profile of usage patterns as myself.

Please tell me that 19 hours isn't the best you got.

also not going to receive texts and phone calls. but who needs either on a cell phone =P
As for disabling the internet, i just check the box in settings to not use data. under wireless settings or something. I don't pay for data because no 3g in my area also.

Why not just put the Power Control widget on your home screen somewhere? The button between GPS and Brightness toggles whether you allow apps to sync on the 'Net or not.
IOW if you turn that toggle off you won't get email unless you launch your email reader, you won't get anything from the 'Net unless you initiate it.
Me? I just installed Onyx from Team Whiskey and I can go 3 days without worrying about my battery life if I'm just doing limited usage of the phone.

Looking at his screenshot, it appears as though he's gone for 19 hours and still has around 50% battery left.

Ok im running axura 2.2 froyo rom and i routinely get 18-22 hours with everything turned on with the exception of gps.

I tried the power Control widget before, I kept getting the edge icon (E with up and down green/red arrows)
And offcourse, I do not doubt that custom roms would be the best solution

Solution: 2nd post!

I DID IT !
almost in the same time it drained almost all the battery before, now it has lost only 1% or 2%!!!!
after reading every single post on the internet (many thanks to who has investigated battery drainage), i've mixed the tips and tricks and what i did is:
(Maybe a lot of things are unnecesary)
- Disable syncing in gmail account (everything)
- delete software update's cache
- killed all services except only 2 first party services: SNS and Google services
- Tweaked the apps running on startup with "Autostarts" app.
- 3g off
- Wifi off
- BT off
and, as you can see, it's completely idle. it stayed like two hours without losing battery, constantly at 71%.
I hope this is helpful! I will try to discover slowly which one of these things drains so much battery!

it looks to me that to solve your problem you transformed your phone into a nokia 6310.
It was a good phone, lasting days or weeks but it had no 3G, no wifi, no mail sync ... just like your phone now
What happens if you turn on the 3G and the Wifi ? DOes it drain the battery in couple of hours ?

Just by turning 3g off will help
looking at the graph you posted it looks like where it has poor signal is when you experience steep drainage.
good idea to have all the features turned off when you are not using it. especialy 3g cause it will keep draining to get a better signal.
try using one of those widgets to turn on and off 3g so you don't have to drill into settings every time you need it.

You only have to keep pressed the power button and select the second option to disablr 3g... Data network.
I will update soon!

Check Android OS and System use
What is the Android OS and Android System use?

i'm on debusrom, gingerbread 2.3, in spain.

your problem is probably only solved temporally, all method you said has already been proven not working. it's probably a serious driver issue in all exiting gingerbread roms for sgs, have a look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039696

My new broadcom wifi driver works like before update, phone is not sleeping ! It is not a wifi bug, it is not a dirty ROM flashing, it is not random app. Only 2 things left to consider Gingerbread core fault or broken device driver other than modem, wifi...

What battery status app is that you're using?

i am having batt drainage too...but is on MIUI rom...I am not sure why...my initial guess is kernel prob....still investigating it now~~~

So, why you post it in here if you are on MiUi ??

that means turning your SGS into a regular Nokia 1100. Why disable all features that make your device a smartphone?

i have used many stock and custom rom results are similar
disabling background data and syncronising gives better battery usage but makes it a simple phone

I'm shocked that turning off all that improved battery.

battary problem?

so I've been using this nexus one rom for a long time now, always worked...but since a short period of time the battary has been draining rapidly, with rapidly i mean when im at school for 6hours i rarely use my phone and at the end of the 6hours(from 100%) its already on 9 or less % of battery....which is not so nice to say at least!

kernal-version 2.6.32.15_r9-gdfb339
build number : GRI40 (nexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.6 NAND)

Yes you need to update your ROM, it's quite outdated now but I don't think that's the issue. What about your battery drain in Airplane mode? Use Current Widget and see how much ma battery drain it is, mine is 2ma on airplane mode, 4ma with data and phone on, and 5-7ma with Wifi on.

Also your battery may be at the end of it life - they don't last for ever
Do you leave BT, Wifi and internet always on? that will produce the effects you are reporting on a battery past its best - or a cheap poor quality replacement (he says from bitter experience)

not about the battery..i have a new one, does the same thing
ill download the app you told me about and see how and what thanks

No, you need to lock the phone then give the reading when the phone has just been unlocked. This will show your battery drain on standby. With screen on the drain you have is very good actually. I think your issue may be battery calibration, search on the forums for how to do this.

i downloaded that app batterycalibration and i put my batt too 100%, pressed calibrate and pulled the loader out, its taking ages cus im not using my phone, currently its on 65% but i hope this will solve my problem!

ok it has been drained too 0% and went off....now what? i justr started it up again..shall i delete the app or what..?

Do you have any apps that are doing a frequent sync cycle that you may not be aware of? Facebook and Twitter come to mind. Have you also tried to go to the hidden phone feature screen and select GSM Auto PRL for your phone? Using the default WCDMA Preferred uses more battery in standby. Go to your phone screen and type *#*#4636#*#* and then a Testing Page will come up. Go to Phone information and look under Set preferred network type: and select GSM auto (PRL). I am using a two year old battery, Tytung's NexusHD2 v3.2 kernel r13 ROM with WiFi on, Bluetooth off, GPS off using the GSM auto PRL setting and just got 6% battery drain over 9 hours on standby for comparison.

Please have a look....
Hi,
I am using same Nexus ROM
But getting good standby battery life....
Maximum Standby Battery life I got was 19 hrs.
Please install SetCPU and Juice Defender.
Please find this thread to have a clear idea.

It shouldn't. By 'internet' could you please specify? Do you mean that WiFi isn't working, Mobile Data isn't working or the actual Browser app isn't working? Also, I assume you've tried checking in the settings that you didn't accidentally disable data?

Marshmallow WiFi battery drain issue

Just updated to Marshmallow with the OTA update. Having massive battery drain. Especially from WiFi. Have already switched off WiFi and Bluetooth scanning under Settings > Location. Is factory reset working?
Can't post screenshots. : (

after updating you should do a factory wipe from recovery. and let the battery settle it may take a few charging cycles.

Please before creating a new thread straightaway, read the whole forum completely.
There is a special android 6.0 issue thread. Let the phone settle down a bit. Also in wifi advanced settings turn the keep the wifi on during sleep option to never.
And then let phone go through 2 or 3 discharging cycles.
If still then you get this wifi drain, do a factory reset.

Hi. Thanks for the solution. I did what you said and have less battery drain today. However, it is inconvenient to have WiFi off while the phone is in sleep.
Also, apologies for posting a new thread about an old problem. I had read through a couple of posts but did not find a comprehensive solution hence I started this thread.
Anyway, i will do a factory reset and update shortly.

Thank you very much, done it! Even though, it happens to everyone? Or just some people?

I think I found another solution
I had the same problem, and turning off "wifi scanning" was not doing it for me. I believe the bug has something to do with "developer mode". I went to settings -> developer and under "network" I enabled "enable detailed Wi-Fi logging" and "always allow Wi-Fi searches".
Wi-Fi is no longer draining my battery, and I have "wifi scanning" enabled (under location).

Hi guys
I have the wifi drain after using Moto voice for a short while yesterday. I turned off and turned of location as well as wifi scanning but wifi is still at the top of the battery draining apps list. I used to get 2 hours sot by the time I git 80% but now I don't get that sot any more. All this started happening yesterday when I used Moto voice for the first time on 6.01 to try it out.
Any solutions or should I just wait a couple charge cycles?

Thanks! I had decent battery life on stock 6.0 but started noticing bad drain ever since I've been flashing custom ROM. I had indeed traced the drain to WiFi as others here, pretty much on all the ROMs I tried, and I couldn't figure out what setting was causing the drain. Turning off WiFi scanning in Location did the trick and I have my old battery life back.

Yeah the "drain" my device was reporting wasn't actually draining anything.

Hai everybody.im one of the user of Moto x play by the performance of the mobile was very Good but past few days I'm facing wifi issues(battery draining)And I factory reset after completion the prblm may not rectify sooo plz any one guide me how to solve it that may very useful to me thank u...

Have you tried checking if wifi scanning is enabled in location settings? If so then turn it off
