Seems like GSAM was just incorrectly reporting it
Using GSam Battery Monitor and "Wifi Active" is always over 30% of my battery use. The phone lasts all day just fine, but the Wifi active is extremely high. I've searched multiple threads and done all the "fixes" of clearing cache in recovery, resetting network settings, disable wifi/bluetooth scanning etc. and it's still over 30%.
My most recent test, I have Wifi turned off COMPLETELY. Right now, it shows "Wifi Active: 00:00:00 31%" I have a feeling Android is simply reporting the wrong stats.
Has anyone figured out if there is in fact a fix for this? Or can confirm it is Marshmallow that's incorrectly reporting this?

I've had my N4 since the day it was released and the battery has been generally acceptable.....until I upgraded to 4.3 (stock, rooted).
BetterBatteryStats is indicating the suspend_backoff wakelock is rampant. WakelockDetector is showing I'm only getting 20% deep sleep on days I'm only lightly using my phone. On Android's Battery screen "Android OS" is listed as the top culprit, consuming 40% or more of the total battery.
Google/XDA searches indicate suspend_backoff is related to Chrome, but I'm convinced this is somehow a wifi connectivity problem as this wakelock ONLY happens when connected to my work wifi. On the weekends when not working my battery is fine and I don't see suspend_backoff. If I don't connect to my work wifi while at work suspend_backoff does not show up at all and I'm deep sleeping at 80%.
Unfortunately at work I don't have the capability of configuring/swapping wifi hardware/settings, so I'm limited to finding a solution on my end. Hopefully the solution isn't to have to sit on mobile data all day long instead of connecting to my work wifi.
Any suggestions?

In Settings, Wifi, Advanced Settings turn Network notification and Scanning always available off and see if it helps. Drainage can also be an issue when the Wifi signal is weak, but it can be Google Now! related among other things, Now! likes to give you fresh cards like traffic, news, nearby things and weather, turning Now! off entirely (voice search still works) could still be help. Also using other apps than Google. I know, hardly a real soluton but I replaced as many as I can.
No, wifi scanning is irrelevant since OP wants to use wifi.
What radio are you on OP? I'm assuming .84?
Yep, .84 radio, Google Now is disabled
Anybody?
rom kernel info? screenshots of the issue?
Back in the Galaxy S II days it was related to Google Chrome with the tilt scrolling. I always disable it though.

I am experiencing the same issue starting from yesterday, God knows why. The most common advice is to disable tilt-scrolling in Chrome but as far as I could see the Development Tools option has been removed from teh settings. Any other ideas?
could it be because you're using Touch Control for S2W or D2W?
Your work's wifi may have a combination of 2.4 and 5 GHz signals. I would get this wakelock if I allowed android to choose automatically which band to connect to, but if I forced either 2.4 or 5, the wakelock would let up.
Lookas a kernel bug, which has been fixed in teh latest Franco's release.
Recently my note 3's wifi won't turn off while asleep. Under battery usage it shows that the wifi is on the entire time. The android os also shows as being on for more than an hour (it's also the top app on battery usage). It's lead to a battery drain. Using wake lock detector and bbs I haven't seen any app that is causing the problem. I haven't changed any setting either. The wifi is set to never be on during sleep periods. I remember seeing a post with a problem about this but I can't seem to find it anymore. I really don't feel like resetting back to factory settings. Anyone experience this or know what's causing it.
This is after the 4.4 update.
I can't figure out the exact cause, but there are several occasions where I have left the phone idle for several hours, only to discover that the phone has not entered deep sleep, having instead been kept awake by Mediaserver the entire time. Unfortunately, I can't get access to the Partial Wakelock stats via BetterBatteryStats, but the time for the PowerManagerService.WakeLocks "container" under the Kernel Wakelock section roughly matches the awake time.
I have done some googling for solutions to this problem and most threads suggest a potential issue with media scanning (e.g. a corrupted .mp3 causing a background process to get stuck in a loop). However, I haven't been able to eliminate the problem with any of the proposed solutions.
However, the last few times this has happened, I have noticed that Bluetooth was enabled and paired with my headset. Also, in each case, the awake time for the Mediaserver process (under battery stats) continues to increment UNTIL I disable Bluetooth, at which point the awake time counter stops incrementing. Also, since I started paying closer attention to this behavior, I have yet to see the same deep sleep (i.e. wakelock) issue while Bluetooth is disabled.
I believe this is enough evidence to prove that the offending wakelock is somehow related to Bluetooth.
Does anyone else see this behavior?
I've seen it on other phones. And adding Bluetooth into the mix may make my advice unhelpful.... But that aside, rebooting after unplugging from charger every time has fixed that issue in the past.

I'm having major issues with my g2. I've tried a factory reset, but no matter what I do, the phone's battery drains quickly and the "android os" stays awake for 3.5 hours, even though the screen has only been on for two.
I have both BBS and Gsam, but there are so many different wake locks listed, I don't know what's normal and what's not. I've attached my latest BBS logs. Can someone with expertise help me out with some feedback?
Most your wakelocks seem to be location services... That can be decreased by disabling google now, google location reporting and alternatingly using unbounce xposed module
Hey guys...
Just here to say that I unplugged this phone at around 5 in the morning, and around 5 hours later its already down to 74%.
What did I do? Only about 10 minutes of mobile hotspot, a 2 minute phone call, and three text messages. The rest just idling...
1/4th of my battery life for just that?
What the heck?
Everything is disabled and the screen brightness is low... Whats the matter with this phone?
Looks like something is keeping your device awake.
Can you please add some screenshots of your battery graph?
In addition, you can try to boot into safe mode. If your problem is gone in safe mode, a third party app is interfering.
If you're rooted, try installing Wakelock detector or BBS (Better Battery Stats) and check out what is waking up your device.
If you use Gas Buddy, it was known to be causing massive bluetooth wakelocks. Either uninstall it or update it to the latest version.
Set your wifi to 2.4 ghz only. On 6.0 and 6.0.1, the 5 ghz band has been causing abnormal battery drain and keeping phones from entering doze mode. Here's the issue being reported: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=197460
If neither of these make a big improvement, you'll have to use your battery stats (and if rooted, use Better Battery Stats or Wakelock Detector) to specifically see what's keeping the phone awake. In either of these apps, filter the view by "Alarms" or "wakeup triggers" and you'll see what the heavy hitters are.
Be sure to go into Location>Settings and turn off wifi and bluetooth scanning.
Hi.the maps app isvuding WiFi and gps even though both are disabled and I'm not using it... Any ideas?
