Anyone have any issues with Smart Actions and Wifi? I am running ICS .232. Recently i've been noticing my battery draining and my system is telling me that my Wifi has been on for 7 hours. I check the Wifi settings and it's set to off. I turned it on and off to be safe. The only thing I can think of was Smart actions not shutting it off as it states it was. I just removed the rule to turn wifi off and on depending on my location. It's suppose to turn off wifi while at work to conserve battery but it seems to be draining my battery instead. I just checked it now and the solid bar is short at the end indicating it is no longer on. Wondering if anyone has the same issue? BTW I've been at work for the past 8 hours so Wifi should have been off. Location is flaky in my area even with GPS as there is a dead spot close by. I work out in the country..

Do you leave your GPS / WiFi on all day? I never leave the GPS on due to I believe it kills my battery in half the time. Though using a weather widget I would like to have it update based on my current location. WiFi is odd, I have the sleep policy set to turn off when screen is off but I have a feeling it only works 50% of the time. Also with GPS talk what is sensor aiding?
Any apps out there that can best control there features so I can leave them on at all times?
Thanks

I never use GPS.
Sometimes I let WIFI stay on for a whole day, mostly becuse I forget to turn it off.
I usually just shut mine off unless I am using them. I am consistently checking my notifications, so I notice if one is left on when I shouldn't need to use it.
You can try using the power control widget on your home screen. That way you can easily see what is on/off.
GPS is off unless I'm using it but WIFI is always one so long I know where ever I'm at has a connection. I've noticed my phone uses more battery while WIFI is on disconnected than actually connected. Although it is possible to fix that by tweaking wifi search intervals (I'm just lazy about it)
I leave them on all the time. I do toggle bluetooth depending on when I want it. I can't really see any significant abnormal drain due that.
Guys, tonight I decided to switch off mobile data and WiFi when I went to sleep. Now noon, when the battery was almost over I decided to analyze some attention to battery depletion statistics and realized that even turning off the WiFi it continued to appear that spent the whole night on. Also, see that shortly after I slept network operator turned yellow. How to explain? My carrier has the much more stable network overnight just by reduced use and the absence of network overload.
He had the 3g network enabled, less mobile data.
It happens to me too. I guess it's only a visual issue, I dont think wifi is draining battery life.
Due to Wi-Fi scanning always available. Its actually keeping the Wi-Fi on if that option is chosen in Wi-Fi advanced options. Turn that off and you'll see that your Wi-Fi actually shuts off.
I'm suffering from excessive battery drains on Note 8, Nougat 7.1.1. The battery drain is excessive when on idle mode/when the phone is asleep. I have installed BetterBatteryStats (gave it all permissions) and tested with different settings for a couple days.
My findings:
I strongly believe the issue is with my wifi.
Day 1: I kept wifi on, turned off "adaptive wifi" and "wifi power saving mode" and set "keep wifi on during sleep" to always. Battery drain was very excessive at home. In BBS, wlan_rx_wake and powermanagerservice.wakelocks were very high and phone didn't doze much. When I left home and went to the library and was connected to my school's wifi, the phone dozed, and the two wakelocks mentioned didn't occur any more. In fact, from the screenshot you can see the two flat regions are those when I was at the library, and the downhill regions are when I was home.
Day 2: I kept wifi on, turned on "adaptive wifi" and "wifi power saving mode" and set "keep wifi on during sleep" to never. No change. The results were just like day 1. Excessive wakelocks and battery drain. In fact, funny enough, the wakelocks occurred more often as if "wifi power saving mode" was doing the opposite of what it was supposed to.
Day 3: I turned off wifi completely, and was on cellular the whole time. Battery performance was amazing. Lost 5% over 10 hours, and I actually used the phone during this time. I made calls, surfed the web and texted. Additionally, the are no excessive wakelocks, and the battery plot is nearly flat the whole time.
In conclusion, I am really confused. At home, wifi kills my battery. At school, wifi doesn't do anything weird. It makes me feel like this is more than just some setting on the phone or some bug with Nougat. Maybe some networking issues with my wifi at home? I was hoping I could better understand my situation by getting help here. Any feedback is welcome. I have screenshots from each day so tell me if you think they'll be helpful. Thanks.
Make a factory reset... try that, it makes my stars better.
Could very well be caused by Wifi calling. Try switch off Wi-Fi Calling at home.
I remember having this issue in past with my Note 5 icw bad Cell reception at certain locations.
But wifi calling is always on, regardless of what wifi I'm connected to. It must be something specific to my wifi at home.
Just received this phone and enjoying it so far however, I've noticed on WiFi that I've set it to Never under keep WiFi on during in sleep, but when I leave it overnight and check battery stats the WiFi chart is telling me it's been on?! Also seems like at my home WiFi the standby drain is more then elsewhere I've been staying? Is there a setting on my WiFi I would be aware of?
Thanks
Setting - security & privacy - location services.
Tap the 3 dots upper right corner.
Tab scan settings.
Make sure Wifi-scanning is disabled.
That's off, it must be related to my router if it didn't drain at a friend's house over night, not sure what though!
I got my S10e exynos a little over a week ago and gave it some good weekday battery life testing throughout the this past work week.
The screenshot is after a day of work, with the vast majority of the time on LTE and noticing massive WiFi drain. I've noticed that WiFi drains between 25-45% no matter if I'm using WiFi the majority of the time or not. Compared to my Pixel 3 that drains 5-10% from WiFi.
Anyone else getting WiFi drain? Could someone with a S10e SD855 post some battery stats? Please use gsam if possible.
Is your WiFi scanning turned on?

Hard to determine which of these options would be considered "WiFi scanning", but they're all off except LTE switch over.
Just search wifi scanning and Bluetooth scanning
Biometrics and security, location, improve accuracy, turn off wifi / bluetooth scanning.
connections, wifi, advanced, I disabled the "switch to mobile data" to get better battery
Yes I am having this issue as well on my S10+ US Unlocked version. 1.5 hours of screen on time draining 5%, WIFI draining 8%. Doesn't make any sense. All o fmy WIFI scanning and auto switching is turned off.
Someone said it is because the phone doesn't go back to sleep on Exynos models after you've received a phone call
A reboot fixes it until your next phone call
Patch should fix it
Reboot doesn't fix it for me. I also have had two different s10s so it is definitely something software related. It drains so Mich that I keep wifi off unless I absolutely need it.
