Hey guys I got a question;
My wi-fi router seems to be broken, wi-fi signal drops too often (not just on my one, it also happens on my nexus 7 and one s so I think it is broken). My question is; does that make battery drain faster? I mean phone is constantly having on and off wi-fi.
Does the whole network get no data incoming, or are you connected to a WiFi that drops it's connections but still broadcasting it's SSID?
I loss incoming data completely. It happens to often, I mean maybe 6-7 times in a minute. And I noticed my phone's battery draining too fast even without me making a call or using an app or anything. So I suspected if that broken wi-fi causing it. If it is not my battery might have some problem too, which I hope not.

WiFi shouldn't drain any more than usual if incoming data is lost as long as you remain connected to the WiFi. I might be wrong though. Install GSAM Battery Monitor and see what's draining your battery the most. If you need a more detailed one, try Better Battery Stats (it's free for XDA users, it's in the App forum )

I can't find it.
And the thing is im not connected to wi-fi all the time, that's the problem. Maybe dropping off and connecting back all the time causes battery to drop low faster than usual, that's what I'm wondering.

As long as you can see the WiFI logo on your phone it shouldn't matter whether there is a connection or not for battery drain.

Then yes it will drain. Your router is dropping the network as well as the connection, so that will drain a lot of battery cos the phone is constantly scanning for available networks when your router is down.

Even without sim card, the battery still drains, drained 10% every 5 hours. ( even wifi is off it still drains)
According to BetterBatterystats, the highest wakelock count in partial wakelock before is *backup*, (removed after disabling google backup)
The most wakelock right now is SuperStamina Xssm, it can be stopped after disabling Stamina mode, but even i did , this battery still drains.
any way to solve this? airplane mode also drains battery, basically nothing works from stopping battery drain.
in your screenshot you use wifi right?
Try to switch to GSM only (2G) in network settings and see if there's any difference.

How little do you expect the battery to drain? What are the current wakelocks right now? Are they still the same?
Can you use Wakelock Detector instead? The Xperia SP's battery might not be as great as you think....
Let's just calm down, and of course, help can never be demanded. Maybe your phone has a hardware problem that none of us can solve.

Why wait so long?
Take your phone to a sony service center(or where ever you bought the phone) and let them have a look at it, might be that your battery is just not working properly. They will replace if it for you.

they said it's normal for a phone without sim card to standby 2 days without using it
i personally think is software problem, i tried drain the battery down to 0%, then charge it full without break,
after that, the battery drain is just godly, after 2 days left 98%, but then the battery suddenly started to drain like hell,
after 5 hours it became 94%, then it keep draining down as usual.

not sure if backing up ta and flash cm is the last resort, i'll go with aokp but there's no official built for sp yet.

If all the app draining apps are closed and alsoare bluetooth screen brightness and wifi.
The problem may be deeper.
Your kernel may have flipped and its draining this much battery i am not sure how to check it but i would not suggest you to flash a new kernel right away just because i think thats the problem.

i flashed countless custom rom , the kernel is stock on lb, if need to have a custom kernel i will have to unlock bl, will see how it fare for later days

for your information, see this graph, 2 days with good standby, and then went from 95% to 35% in less than 20 hours
this problem is occuring with stamina mode on or off, nothing works
edited: reflashed another stock kernel, will see how it works

I would flash a custom kernel then if the stock wont work.
Has anyone found a way to fix the cell standby battery drain with the new root powers that we have? I'm hoping we might get the 2 day battery life once that gets fixed. Thanks in advance!!
You can check wavelock, and look for culprit, app ops can help with permissions
I know cell standby battery drain mostly has to do with how good of a signal you got, but I agree that the drain is a little excessive even for bad reception... I am hoping for a workaround too. Maybe somehow making the antenna more efficient
Also I am not sure if there is a way to get a better radio image (idk if image is the right word) that is specific to your area... a way to manually update it? you may need BL unlock for that, but no idea really

Just wait for Lollipop update and it will be gone. With KitKat I had around 10% or more battery drain overnight, but now I'm having at most 1%-2% with the same synced settings, so it was a huge improve, believe me.
Also, as far as I know, Turbo will be updated directly to 5.1, so it would be better, but hope that Verizon crap-ware doesn’t ruin the update.
:fingers-crossed:
Hey guys, I am running stock 4.0.3 rooted with supersu and using the latest franco kernel. I am getting massive drains even while using the phone on wifi and keeping it on standby, while connected to wifi. Getting drains about 3.3-4% per hour on standby on wifi. This is absolutely crazy. I tried some older suggestions mentioned here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62074306&postcount=118 . But even that doesn't work. Battery drain is normal on mobile data, but when connected to wifi it absolutely goes crazy. Can anyone provide any insight? There are no rogue apps, I have been checking through better battery , wld , accu battery, etc.
You've probably already turned it off, but I'll just point it out in the rare instance, but make sure scanning is off. However, I did notice that you said it is when wifi is on and your phone is sleeping when you get that drain. A fix is to go into wifi settings and under "Keep Wi-fi on during sleep", pick the only plugged in option. Ideally, you should get to the bottom of this issue, but if you don't have the time and no one else figures it out, this may help.
EDIT: I wonder if smart wifi switcher has anything to do with it? Wifi connectivity fluctuates and if you have two connections that have very similar signal strength, would your phone constantly switch between the two networks in a futile manner? If this does happen, I can see that draining your battery significantly, but this is based on the premise that the switcher does not have some type of buffer zone where it does not switch if the difference is negligible.

Yep, I always keep scanning off! And i did try with that suggestion too, I changed the setting to never and it still drained battery. Wifi stayed on for sometime even though i set it to never and then finally turns off after a period of time, but i think that could potentially drain more battery? Are you using wifi all the time? What are your stats?
I have all those settings turned off, smart switcher, ipv6, scanning, etc

Last thing I can think of is trying to use stock kernel to see if it is FK that is the culprit. FK shouldn't be the issue, but perhaps something screwed up during the flashing process? Now I'm essentially just asking you to do trial and error

Note that I'm in Beta 3 and running its stock kernel so I don't really see the usefulness of giving my battery stats, but yes, battery life for me has been good and unaffected by wifi draining.

It's most likely not just you, but based on my perusal of the 3T forums (especially on the FK thread because that's most relevant to how you set up your phone), not many people are facing this issue. Does betterbattery stats not show anything funky or out of the ordinary? Can you post a screenshot of your betterybattery stats including the kernel wakelocks, alarms, and partial wakelocks page?

Check these out. I am totally fed up. I think I might have a faulty unit.
Getting 4% drain on standby!

I'm beginning to think it's not wifi, but the app Saavn. It may act differently when on wifi vs on cellular data and remain active constantly when on wifi. I google searched the app and its potential of being poorly optimized app, and there are reports of it never turning off and running in the background. If that is the case, it should be showing up on BBS as more of a drain, but for some reason it isn't. Still, try uninstalling the app and see what happens.
In the end, if this doesn't solve the issue, I'm beginning to think a factory reset maybe in order. I wish you also gave me BBS alarm wakeups page because that would help see if Saavn is constantly firing off alarms or not.
Go to your "Location settings" and into the 3 dot menu in upper right. Turn everything off.
do you have wifi calling on? turn it off and see

I don't have any option to turn off wifi calling in there. I am running the beta 7.1.1 now though. But the problem still persists. Too much drain when using wifi, it's being shown as android system drain. I've seen many people reporting it, so it's not just me. But for the life of me, I can't figure out what's causing it!
Issue resolved with latest 4.1.0 and some usage pattern changes. Mod, please close the thread. Thank you!
Hi, when I'm at work, it happens that the mid 9 becomes hot and the battery runs out quickly. Then without doing anything it comes back to normal. Have you ever had this problem?
Many thx.

The same thing(...
hi all, i tried to figure out this problem.
I notice first that the problem doesn't occured at home where i have great battery life. I decide to install BBS and see what happened.
i discovered that at work, when phone become hot and have battery drain fast, in BBS, i have a kernel wakelock named 1-0028 that keep phone awake.
with all my search , it seems that the wifi at my work is the cause. try to stay on LTE and have no battery drain at all.
Don't know why but if you have that problem, don't use wifi if possible and stay on mobile data.
If anybody know if there is setting on mobile or on wifi , share it
Maybe its the wifi trying yo look to networks to connect to, have u hot it on
