I have a 2013 Nexus 7 32GB and turned off "scanning always available" option (let Google's location service and other apps scan for networks, even when Wi-Fi is off) and set "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleeping" to never.
The table should not turn wireless off and on during sleeping, right?
Look at the attachement and the power meter shows that wifi turned off and on while the screen was turned off.
I didn't have this problem with 2012 Nexus 7.
Is this a bug with 2013 Nexus 7?

Other apps can turn on WiFi. Maybe its an installed app?
I had a similar problem and used Greenify to hibernate several apps. That solved it for me.

Try turning off wifi optimization. That's how mine is configured with the rest identical and wifi shows solid.
tried the above but still didn't work. I'll try wakelock detector and upload screenshots.
yesterday i purchased a galaxy tab s 10.5 lte model. i found the wifi automatically turns off when display turns off. i also changed wifi on during sleep settings to always. please help
my phone is not rooted.
I got my 6p last week and it's been running great until this afternoon. It got warm and the battery level drops by 70's at around 10am to low 30's at 4pm; during that time it was mostly on airplane mode with all sync/bluetooth/gps turned off.
When I checked the battery history it says that the GPS has been on for over 7 hours. I certainly did not turn on the gps myself (I turned off location), and I do NOT have smart lock.
Question: How can I determine which apps/processes turn on the GPS?
I also notice that "Miscellanenous" is responsible for 29% of the battery use.
Question: What the heck is that? How can I turn it off?
Thanks!
Try disabling the GPS in settings.
I believe your issue stems from Wifi not GPS, anyhow try this - turn off WiFi scanning, and turn off the option to continuously scan for more accurate information. I had similar issues before I turned this off, my battery used to drain a lot on Wifi.

Thanks! Where do I find these options for turning off wifi scanning & for (not) continuously scanning for more accurate info?
Under wifi-->advanced wifi I already set "keep wifi on only when plugged in". I did turn on "notify whenever a public network is available" --- is that what you meant by "wifi scanning"? But I can't find anything about "scanning for more accurate info" (I already turned off location and smart lock).
Thanks!
EDIT: I just realized something: The compass on my 6p has not been working properly (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/compass-t3243394). This morning I spent a good 10 min calibrating the compass by doing the figure 8 dance etc. It didn't fix the compass, but the time where I began the figure 8 dance roughly coincide with the time where the GPS was reported to be turned on... The plot thickens...

Are you even using this device or android M or you just giving advice from android kit kat? There no longer is "turn on/off scanning" in android M.

There is no plot. Just find which app runs in the background and continuously asks for location. Problem solved.

Wich app?
How about your compass? Does it work propperly now?
I have tmobile and am on 6.0.1.
I have Google now on, location history on, location on device only or on high accuracy, with scanning off in wifi settings unless plugged in.
Even if I physically turn my wifi off my wifi bar is constantly active in my battery graph. The only thing that will turn it off is airplane mode. The only reason this bugs me is wifi constantly shows up as draining the battery.
Any ideas? Is this a bug with 6.0.1?

First I've read of this. Something is definitely buggy with your software. I would back up your SD and flash the 6.0.1 factory image then set up device as new when entering account info.

Maybe constantly scanning for networks?

So I was using PA and now on PN. FK then and now EX kernel.
I still have the same problem. The Wifi is ALWAYS ON even after I turned it off or after I placed it on airplane mode.
Now before you all say turn off Wifi Scanning, Bluetooth scanning and keeping WiFi on or off.
Like in Pictures:
-Bluetooth and Wifi Scanning is off
-Keep Wifi ON during sleep only when plugged in
The only way I can turn it off is to restart my phone or reconnect to a network and disconnect.
I notice if I exit the house and turn off Wifi some time later the WiFi will be off but seen in detail battery stats and stays that way till I connect to another network and disconnect properly, Or I leave & turn off the Wifi properly before I exit the Wifi range.
WHAT IS THIS PROBLEM?
It''s kinda that I need to always do this. If I forget and I have a large bar of WiFi and need a restart. -_-
I have average battery life 4hours SOT and get 12hours of Battery life. Clean flashed PN but flashed a back up of my Apps from Titanium.
Thanks guys in advance!!
Hope someone can give me a solution for this!
Have a nice one!:good:
