I have sync off, maps off, gps off, location off... and wifi set to "never on" during standby mode...
But... it takes a good 15 minutes before wifi actually turns off, which wastes a little bit of battery life
Any way around this? Eg, make it turn off wifi quicker?

Uhmmm well maybe if you were able to provide more info like rom, rooted or not, kernel etc. we'll be able to help you out more.
As of now i can tell that is not right, mine goes off immediately.
Yes, more info would help however try this go to your settings and in the WiFi settings forget your network then restart your router and re-boot your tablet off/on (not stand by) then go to the wireless settings log back in to your network.

Wow, why do people care about such small things? It's not like it drains half of your battery.

Well, because it is not a normal thing to happen. So if it is not normal, it is a sign of a possibly bigger problem that needs to be addressed. If he is on a custom rom, then the dev would be notified to see if its on his end, to fix in the next release. And those are just two reasons why people "care about such small things". Welcome to xda. This is where all the small things are fixed. Its kinda the point.
Are you sure that's not normal? All my android devices take 10-15 min to turn the WiFi off.
It'll have a negligible effect on your battery life but if you really want it to turn off faster, the green power app on the store allows you to turn off WiFi instantly.
That's normal. If you have tasker or other similar app you can set it to turn off WiFi on lock or if you have a magnetic case, sit it to turn off WiFi when it's closed.

Don't think that's normal, wifi always turns off almost instantly for me
wifi turns off almost instantly here too. 10-15 minutes to turn off wifi is not normal in any situation. op, maybe a little background? stock or rooted? rom/kernel? mods flashed? themes?
The WiFi on my N7 turns off instantly. It did when it was stock unrooted, it did when it was stock rooted, and it does with Paranoid Android. Not sure what the issue may be. Unless you are running a different kernel.
It is normal.
I'm on CM10 and in the advanced WiFi menu is an option to alter the default WiFi timeout from 15mins to other values. I'm unsure if that option is only available in CM10 but I think its also available in stock, can someone on stock clarify that.
The advanced menu is definitely available on stock 4.1.2 I'm just unsure if the timeout is configurable or not.
But WiFi always takes some minutes to disconnect in case you decide to hit the power button to put the device on standby and then 2secs later decide to use it again.
Test it by just hitting the power button and 10secs later hit it again and look at the WiFi icon, it will show its connected. Now do it again but wait 20mins and then hit power and look at the icon and it will show its disconnected.
I guess the timeout can be affected by apps that use WiFi when the screen is off and how quickly the device sleeps when the screen is off etc.
Stock, rooted. Using Notification Toggle, my wifi turns off immediately when I touch the wifi toggle icon.

Is the concept of this thread that hard to the understand...
...of course it turns off immediately if you hit a toggle, that's the point, this post is about the timeout value, ie the WiFi timeout when the screen is turned off.
Hello!
I've been having a weird issue lately. The thing is, when my phone goes idle (screen off) it turns mobile data off. So let's say I'm using whatsapp and I lock the screen and turn it off, if i turn the screen back on but i don't unlock the lock screen mobile data will be off, but weirdly the icon in the statusbar shows it's still on. Now, if i unlock it, it searchs for it and connects.
It's getting really annoying as i can't get any push messages, and the permanent reconnecting and having to keep the screen on is killing my battery.
I've tried several roms, properly flashed, including Slimbean, CM10.1, Mackay and Xylon so now i'm starting to think it's a hardware issue.
I appreciate any help!
Cheers
edit: i forgot to say that this doesn't happen while using wifi. Also, i'm not using any task-killers or battery saving craps that could possibly turn it off on purpose, just plain installations.
My GPS keeps on turning on periodically on my HTC One. I resetted it and it will not go away. I don't want that little satallite icon showing up and using my juice. Please help?
I tried to use the phone as a remote control for my TV once. And now, it always shows up in my notification bar. I've tried to force STOP it in the Application manager, but it turns on automatically even after restarting the device.
Go into WatchOn settings and turnoff the show in notifications setting. Also, while there, turn off on lock screen.

I disabled this app. It was soaking up data like crazy in the background
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Disabled it for the mean time until they make an update to easily turn it off, this will our batteries!
Today I noticed that the Wi-Fi icon animation for turning on and off Wi-Fi is gone. Before, when I would turn on Wi-Fi, each "bar" on the Wi-Fi "launch" icon would light up in sequential order but how the whole icon lights up immediately. What happened to the animation? Same for when I turn off Wi-Fi. Before each bar would turn off in order but now the whole thing just turns off.
