Hi,
I have found a bug with Wi-Fi, you can monitor it with the help of this battery menu ( see screenshot ).
So, basically if you turn Wi-Fi on, then off, Wi-Fi won't deactivate. It will be deactivated only after a reboot or after activating/deactivating airplane mode.
How to monitor:
Activate Wi-Fi, deactivate it and then wait at list half an hour. Then go in the same battery menu than screenshot and you will see Wi-Fi is still activated ( solid blue bar).
Now deactivate Wi-Fi and briefly activate/deactivate airplane mode. Wait half an hour then go again in the same menu than screenshot : Wi-Fi is really deactivated.
Tried disabling "Scanning always available" in the Advanced WIFI setting?
I think it has to do it

I was playing around with the Wi-Fi sleep policy settings and I am little bit confused how it really works.
The default setting is something like: "turn off wifi when screen is turned off".
So as I understand it it should disable wifi when the screen is turned off.
However when I checked my device list at my router it seemed that my n1 was still connected through wif, even after the screen was turned off. Only after 5-10 minutes wifi was really disconnected (when I turned on the screen again the wifi symbol in the top bar appeared after some seconds). I read somewhere that there is a difference between disabling wifi and disconnecting wifi?
BTW. the wifi sleep policy is supposed to save battery because it is said that 3G in idle mode requires less power than a wifi connection, but I read that with the nexus one the opposite is true. so what's the truth?
It's normal for the wifi to disconnect after several minutes of inactivity once the screen turns off. As for your very last question, I don't know... but I imagine that idle 3G is less power intensive than active wifi, otherwise it wouldn't be the default option...
Hi
I am regular user of Yahoo and MSN and i use them over wifi but the issue that when i am connected to wifi i get disconnected when i chose "Turn off device if not user for * Min", but when i disable this option backlight turns off but still the light is on and this light is consuming battery uselessly
Any suggestion or tweak to keep wifi alive when Device is turned off..
Thanx
Use "Advanced Config" (3.3), go into "more settings" "Connections" and then enable "Enable Wi-Fi on standby mode"
That's what i've done, since i want to decide myself whether or not i want Wi-Fi active, not to let the phone decide... -.-
Thanx it worked .... Mods kindly delete the Post...
be adviced:
wifi running in standby AND charging the phone results in a really, really, really hot battery sometimes. so disable wifi when charging your phone over night.
I have disabled the scanning for WiFi and even when I have WiFi switched off it doesn't seem to be off. Its constantly on. Any idea what's the issue?

I have this problem too. I'm sure the wifi is off, everywhere else report that it is off, but the battery page say it is on.
I think it's a reporting issue. I sometimes see this. GSam will show Wi-Fi is off, and the Wi-Fi entry in the stock battery stats page will both say Wi-Fi was off based on the time on number it reports.
When you first turn on Google location services, there's a message that pops up that asks if you want Google to use wifi to determine your location. It also says that this means wifi will continue to look for hotspots even when it is off. If you said yes to this, that may explain why wifi still takes up battery when it is off.
everytime when i charge my the phone, my wifi is turned off. I have to turn it back on, but it works fine. just wondering if there's a setting to leave it on.
Yeah it's in the advanced wifi settings. This is a setting that has been around on Android for a while.
check wifi control history, maybe there is some app that switches it off? Works fine on mine, are you using power saving mode?

i already checked the wifi always on in advanced wifi settings. there are no apps listed in wifi control history. and no on power saving mode.
any other suggestions? im pretty sure it's a setting related problem, but all the setting mentioned I checked. the always wifi is on, nothing in wifi control history
Hi,
Anyone else having this issue with their note 9? So when I have WiFi turned on overnight and when I wake up and I go out of WiFi range (WiFi is turned off), I realize my mobile data is turned off. I would have to go under settings > connections > data usage to turn mobile data back on. I'm not sure what the cause is and it seems to only happen after long WiFi usage (like overnight). The weird thing is it doesn't always happen. I'm not sure if it is a battery saving things or something is turning it off. Please help! Thanks
