Why do you wanna use airplane mode? The sleep mode in settings, power turns off data connection to save battery and you can specify the hours

Because i do not want to receive phone calls while i sleep and turning off the radio will also save battery.

Try tasker, it's paid app though. As alternative you also have do not disturb function. Trust me those apps will use a lot more battery. They are useless. During the night when sleep mode is on I loose only 2-3% for 7hrs

Hi to everyone. I forgat to turn my wifi off during my working hours. In the nd of my shift, i check my battery and it was proximately %5 left and even i didnt use the phone during my shift. it was %50 or something before starting. Does wifi still work even on the sleeping mode?
Thanks guys
no it stays on unless you set up the power saving mode i use custom settings so that wifi etc will turn off at 40% battery
wi-fi is a big battery drainer. Always have it off if you don't need it. Same with gps, data, and auto-sync for various accounts
Try using juice defender. I think the free version always you to enable wifi control (after your phone goes into sleep mode it should turn off the wifi until you wake it up)

juice defender is in itself a battery drainer. don't use those "battery saver" apps. they're all bs. just get in a habit of turning off connections manually when you don't need them.
Are you aware of the setting: wifi settings/advanced/wifi sleep policy and set it to sleep when screen turns off?

Thanks I didn't know about that setting, but my question is once wifi turns off mobile data kicks in. Which drains battery more? Wifi or mobile data?

They both drain battery equally as much. Mobile data shouldn't kick in unless you have it toggled on.

Use Green Power to automatically disable wifi and data when the phone goes into stand by. There are lots of settings like enabling wifi at certain intervals to sync email/whatsapp/other push services.
On GB for me it's the difference between losing 25% battery overnight without it and losing only 3% when it's enabled and that's with sync every hour.
It seems that on any ICS rom wifi doesn't use any juice even when enabled in standby. Because of the kernel bug in the leaks I'm now on the official CM9 rom and after almost 9 hours with wifi turned on I only lost 4%, on every other ICS rom I tried I get the same results.

I tried juice defender ultimate but connection was on and off and time to time it took ridiculous amount of time to get the connection back :/ also I don't know why with juice defender I noticed sluggish performance phone, after uninstalling everything was much more snappy.
I have wifi on all the time and I only lose about 2-3% over night on stock, I guess it's fine the way it is for me without using all those battery "saver" apps.

I disagree. I definitely get power savings with JD compared to without it. Auto-disabling WiFi saved loads of power for a start, and my overnight drain has gone from 3-5%, to approx 1% with JD running. I'm not saying all batt saver apps are worth using, but JD works for me.
Its a lot easier to have a well-behaved app that DOESN'T use a lot of power itself manage your connection toggling rather than having to remember to do it yourself.

Wrong. WiFi uses more power. Its a separate transmitter being driven by the battery, whereas as mobile data will use the existing transmitter (phone) that's already on, but obviously drive it a little harder than if it was all off.
I have always found the battery life to be poor but I have come to accept this device has a large screen and great processing power etc!
My UK phone is rooted on the latest ICS and has various apps frozen with titanium backup manager! It use to be in deep sleep mode for about 68% of the time but since 2 days ago cpu spy says it hasn't been in deep sleep mode! I have installed various apps that kill running apps but the phone fails to sleep!
Any ideas why it isn't sleeping, just sits at 200mhz!

Go to Settings -> Sounds -> Go to the bottom -> disable touch sounds. (Better if you untick all 4 options). Reboot. Leave phone for 10 mins. Check CPU Spy. :good::highfive:
Thanks for the reply, I did that when I first got the phone! Just checked and all the boxes are un-ticked!? Any other ideas?

Turn off custom power saving mode.. Check after that.. I faced issues with these two.. Sometimes even l2_hsic goes crazy and drains the battery.. Check that too.
Thanks, again this setting is disabled on my phone! Still sitting at 200mhz! Though the battery doesn't seem to be draining as much!?

hello sir..
hmm since i read that you installed various apps that kill running apps, maybe that is cause to kernel wakelock since your system always working to searching what app running and killed it in various time you set
..many system app that switch back on like google app no matter you turn off except you log out your account
or maybe you can try one off the famous airplane metode which is
- switch your phone to airplane mode
- turn off your phone and pull out your battery (until 10 sec or more)
- put again your battery and turn on your phone
- after complete reboot let it for a while then turn off the airplane mode
I had the same problem with audio_out one but only in imilka's paranoid Android.. Couldn't fix it in any way so left the rom..
the reason taskkillers are disputed is because memory works different on android. It reloads certain stuff afterbkilling it, causing a cycle of killing and reloaded that can cause more drain than is intended to safe

Right? Ok, thanks
This makes no sense. An operating system that is switched off will not be able to determine when it's time to wake you up.
But why would you want to shut it off? If you want to minimize battery drain then just put out in flight mode. You'll be surprised how little power is used during the night.

Well a PC that is in either sleep or hibernation can be woken up by a program.
Anyway, I use Tasker to automate flight mode at night, then turn flight mode off in the morning.

Correct, this is done by the BIOS. But last time I checked my Android device it wasn't a PC and has no BIOS
In short, Android devices don't have the right hardware to do this. More info here: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/34541/will-a-shutdown-android-phone-wake-me-up-like-feature-phones-do.
Trying to understand the app exclusion list. If I turn on extended standby, my understanding is no apps can communicate when the screen is off. Does putting an app on the list still allow it to do so? Ie would I still get live hangouts messages?
Yes if you put apps in the list those apps are still allowed to use data with the screen off.

Thanks. What about queue background data? Is there any way to still get push notifications?
I'm actually finding extended standby to cause issues because the apps that can't communicate just keep trying and keep the phone awake

You need extended standby to be on though if you want to use STAMINA mode. They are basically one and the same. If you notice when you have ES on and turn it off, it turns off the STAMINA mode switch too.

It drained like 8% two nights ago while it was on normal but last night I had put it on battery saving mode & it drained 12% :/
I'm not using any external battery saving application while I've had disabled extra services that I don't use (following a guideline here at xda), any suggestion friends?
