Wifi lollipop keeps turning. On I keep it turned off if I'm closer wifi range it turns on I have everything turned turnoff
Did you disable google location shenanigans? That'll turn it back on, or you might have an app with permission to connect.

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...
So the sleep policy is set to never. This is on a fresh factory reset (did it before the reset too). No applications installed at all. It's a tmobile tab that I use without a sim card, just on wifi. It works fine, if I keep it awake wifi will stay on and connected. Any time I leave it for more than a few minutes and wake it up, it is no longer connected and I have to turn wifi off and back on again to get it to connect. Whats up here?
Is there a way to keep Wifi always on, even when Gtab goes to sleep? I have CM7, and have set it to stay on. Still Sleeps. have downloaded 3 apps from market, none keep the Wifi connection on. Any ideas?
Hi everyone,
I'm having a strange problem with my auto sync for my accounts: it seems to turn off randomly. I sometimes use the power saving mode, but when I check it, it does not, at least immediately, turn off auto sync. It's possible that it turns off auto sync if the batty gets low, but maybe it doesn't turn it back on? I also have sleep mode (I.e. "turn off data connections during long periods of activity") checked. It's very frustrating because I never know if its on or off without checking settings. So I end up missing emails which is kind of annoying.
bumping this up. Thought this may just be the result of the "power saver" feature, but it still happened when I turned my phone off overnight. Woke up, powered phone on, and auto sync was off
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.
