[Q] Phone doesn't go into deep sleep + wifi always stays on

This is very annoying, I have spent the whole morning trying to find a solution for this issue. The battery runs out already fast as it is, and now the phone is not
Battery drained about 20% at night by itself. Currently draining about 1-2% per 5 minutes when idle. What do I do? I have looked on various different threads for a solution, but did not find anything to fix this issue.
How do I fix this?
Thanks, in advance.

Also some details.
I had my phone at home, I prefer the phone to use WiFi networks when syncing and updating, but to have phone turn them automatically off when not using them, that is when the phone is locked and not syncing and updating anything. But apparently it doesn't do that, it has WiFi on at all times for some reason. And I don't know if its related to WiFi, it doesn't appear to go to "deep sleep"

For me, it was the last Google Maps update. Try to disable "Reporting Location" and "Location History" under Location settings on Google Settings app(the one with the green icon). I had around 25% drain over night and half of it came from this.
Try it and see if this can help you.
:fingers-crossed:

Like above say, disable location, especially if you keep wifi on.
Leaving wifi on while sleeping itself is not good for our health anyway, so if you have data switch to 2G, its at least enough to keep internet messages coming while saving battery. And if its wifi wise, apply pm.sleep_mode=1 in your build.prop. AND, scroll up a little, wifi_supplicant_can_interval(something like that, from its SHOULD BE 15 change to 300-600).
Disable unused apps and use greenify.

Thank you for the answer, but sadly it didn't seem to do it. My WiFi is still always on, even though I have it set to turn off when phone is sleeping at WiFi advanced settings.
Although the phone entered deep sleep mode when I manually turned WiFi off, but I'm not sure if that was the case.

I understand, but I forgot to do so, I actually have an app that turns on air plane mode at certain time. But that still doesn't fix the issue that the phone doesn't enter sleep mode with WiFi on and doesn't turn it off, even though it's set to do so.
Also I did not quite understand what you were telling me there, as I got the phone last week and it's my first android phone. The app you suggested could cut it, but that means that whenever there will be an auto check for news sequence I will be downloading it with mobile data? Is there an app that could cause this?

I was about to update on this, but I just got notification about 4.3 update. :laugh:
I will update this post, if this problem still exists.
UPDATE : Of course, still the problem persists, Phone goes to sleep when I have Wi-Fi turned off. But when on, even though I have it set to turn off during sleep mode, it keeps the phone wake and drains the battery.

How is it related to my router exactly? My iPod disconnects from Wi-Fi no problem.
Thank you for trying though.

I had left my phone this night with Wi-Fi off, but mobile data and 3G was on, Lost 7% in 7Hours from 47%. Does this seem okay, or a little bit too much? By the time I answered 2 emails and made 1 short phonecall and checked on battery logs from 2 different apps, and changed my wallpaper, battery has dropped to 33%. I'm not proud.

The answer to your problem is JuiceDefender Ultimate, available from Play Store.

Unfortunately this is normal, the battery life is not the best feature of nexus 4. How many screen on time hours do you get averagely?

This fixed the Wifi always on issue for me.
Turn WiFi on: Settings, WiFi, Menu (3 dots upper right hand corner), advanced, uncheck scanning always on.
Hope this helps.

Cell Standby Battery Drain

Hey everyone,
I picked up a T2 on Thursday morning coming from a Maxx, and after the first day I felt I wasn't getting quite the battery life I should. After watching the battery stats and doing some research, the issue seems to be due to Lollipop's well-documented cell standby bug. Coming from KitKat I have been pretty frustrated by this, as my T2 will sometimes drain 5% or more in an hour of idling if WiFi (or possibly Bluetooth) is on, and seems to drain much faster with use if WiFi is on. (Note that all of this is taking place in areas with very strong 4g and WiFi signal).
When WiFi is turned on, Cell Standby tops the battery consumption chart by a large margin and my unscientific eyeball test suggests that the battery drains much faster.
Is anyone else having this issue? I'm considering taking the T2 back, but honestly there aren't any other new phones with comparable battery life, and it would be hard to give up the shatterproof display. Other than this I'm loving the phone and Lollipop.
Thanks!

I'm not having that issue at all and I leave my WiFi on pretty much all the time. I just checked mine and in 13 hrs my cell standby was 8%. Honestly idk if that's good or bad.

I guess I'll just keep an eye on it. Over this past night Cell Standby was on for 10 hours and had the Mobile Radio on for 8 hours while the phone was idle. Not sure if this is intended or not. My battery woes could just be in my head.

cell standby has been near or at the top of all 3 of my Verizon Lollipop phones so dont believe its a Turbo 2 direct issue.

I guess I'll just be patiently awaiting marshmallow then!

Try this, idk if it'll help or not but under WiFi settings under keep WiFi on during sleep, choose only when charging.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot!

I've also read this cell standby time is related to WiFi and possible fixes are as follows. Turn off allow Google to scan for networks even if off, keep WiFi on during sleep charge only, LTE instead of global, and then go into recovery and clear cache. This is what I did and my cell drain is very low. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the tips - I changed all the settings but I'm having trouble getting into recover. When I try to launch from the bootloader I just get the dead Android with "No Command" displayed below it. Is there something I'm missing? FWIW I have dev mode on and unlock oem bootloader on.

I wouldn't turn on unlock boot loader this disables some security features and unless we have a way to truly unlock it. It's better to leave on. Dev mode doesn't affect drain issue at all. Here's link for booting into recovery.

Got it. Thanks for the help!

Mine drains fast while sleeping at home. In my case, the signal is poor so the phone has to crank up the radio power, draining the battery.

UPDATE: For anyone interested, the fixes suggested in this thread seem to have done the trick for me. After changing settings and wiping cache I am getting even better battery life (7-8 hours of screen on time up from 5-6 in similar conditions). This could, of course, be due to other factors - but hey, it's worth a shot if your battery is draining quickly!

Which lte did you pick? There is 2 options. Also how do you get into recovery? Thanks

LTE/CDMA

I personally have noticed that turning off mobile data when connected to WiFi helps. I have done this with previous phones

I experienced this the other day after spending the weekend in an area with spotty service. To fix all I did was reboot the phone.

Hey sorry but could you give a bit of a walkthrough for all the processes you took? Bit of a newbie here and my moto x force doesn't seem to be doing very well with the drain

Giving this a shot now...hopefully this works for me as well

Changing those settings helped immediately

Poor standby time.

Hey guys, I am having some problems with my battery on cm13, it's good when I am using the phone but standby time is just horrible, in 15mins i lose about 3-4%. Does anyone else have this problem,and do you know how to fix it?

First try and update to the newest cm13 nightly
Also look at battery in setting menu and see what uses your battery the most
Also turning off features such as wifi Bluetooth nfc and data connection and turn off wifi and Bluetooth scanning and location except when you need them
If you have a weak 4g cellular signal you may
Need to switch to 3g in network settings some custom kernels have atrocious battery life also sorry to throw a book at you but the all that apply to you
Turn off sync also helps a lot
Turn on efficiency or power saving in battery settings also helps
Then turn on simulate color space monochrome in developer options
Turn off ok Google also
Also turn off usb debugging when your not using it

AOSPA Battery Drain

Hello, just yesterday i installed AOSPA on my P8 Lite ALE-21, and i realized the battery drains too fast. I had like 45% at the morning and when i was in school (not even 4 hours passed) my phone ran out of battery.. Someone advised me to disable 2 cores, but won't that slow my perfomance?
P.S: I installed Greenify, it won't help..

Walk us through a daily use of your phone: what do you leave turned on while in school (BT, GPS, WIFI, Mobile Data, etc)?
If you have your phone rooted, try installing BetterBatteryStats, if not, WakelockerLite and see if there any wakelocks active while your phone is in idle.
Also, make sure the "Wifi Scanning" and "Bluetooth Scanning" are OFF in Settings->Search-> type "Wifi" -> Scroll down to Wi_FI Scanning"
Changing that and Settings->Wifi-> Gear icon -> "Keep Wi_Fi on during sleep" to "only when it's plugged in" helped me, alonside Greenify.
We will have to wait until all these problems are fixed

Hey, thank you very much for your reply. I don't really use my phone in school lately. I just check the time from time to time I have everything disabled except sometimes mobile data.

If I have my phone in idle, even with the Wifi turned on, i don't have that much battery drop.
Something is preventing your phone of going into deepsleep. Which apps do you Greenify? Do you have "Automated Hibernation" turned on?

I don't know, can you tell me how i can check that?
EDIT: Yes, in Greenify automated hibernation is checked.

I Greenify almost every app except social media, cause i want to get notifications

Well, social media apps tend to drain battery running in the background so I always Greenify them.
From time to time I open the app instead of waiting on a notification but it's a choice I made.
Try turning off things like Ambient Display, head to Settings > Display and select to turn off Ambient Display (which means no app notifications will cause the screen to wake).
Also, if you're using apps that require your location, you can head to Settings > Location > Mode and select “Battery saving” (where Wi-Fi and mobile networks are used to determine your location) over “High accuracy” (where GPS is also used).
You should wait of further updates to the ROM, since there are issues regarding the battery drain.

Hi there! I just bought the P Smart two days ago and saw the same thing.I have fixed it by downloading an app called "Hibernation Manager". Myb that will work for you too!

Thank you it turns out that over time everything is getting into place. But anyway thanks very much
