Hey guys!! my phone battery ???? is draining quickly due to WiFi.. almost 75% of the battery is utilized by WiFi.. even though it's turned off.. (although there is no issue with WiFi) it's just sucking all the battery juice even during screen off.. I will give last try by factory reset.. thank you..

Hi
The wifi on my galaxy s is draining my battery at an alarming rate.
With wifi on it drained about 30% in 5 hours ,if i turn wifi off it uses about 2% in 5 hours.
I have noticed that if i go into settings/wireless and network/wifi settings/and turn on wifi and also turn off network notifications it still says it is scanning very few seconds where the wifi networks bar is at the bottom of the menu.
I think that this scanning is whats causing the battery drain,so how can i stop the scanning ?,it is already connected to my wifi network at home,so it shouldnt be scanning if i have network notifications disabled..should it ? thanks
I've the same problem
Get a custom Rom not a really big difference, but still ! It is Wifi !!!
Download JuiceDefender, was great until I installed MIUI v4.3, now I've no use for it.

WIFI off in settings when screen off .

Just wondering regarding data connections.
What setting is likely to give the best overall battery life. WiFi set to never sleep or WiFi set to sleep when screen is off
I'm not sure what would use more power. WiFi or 3G

Calibrating battery(free in market) is the best for you battery, full charge til mv=4182(or higher if you get it), then use the phone til it`s completely empty and shots it self off. Then your up to go. You can use Hp power packs as well with hp kernel.

I've gone back to using HP SR2 and battery life is great. But wifi and Bluetooth doesn't work properly with this kernel

im using nik's trinity rom sensation xl 4.5 .. my wifi keeps going off after a while when i press the power button n the screen goes off .. its like it disconnects the wifi in standby mode :S
It's entirely possible that it does. Try another rom if it's a problem.

Have you checked your power options?
if you are on power saver mode (if the rom supports that), then every time your phone locks all network will be disconnected to save battery.

I'm using the 14_M radio right now with this rom. Been using this radio since yesterday morning and I haven't had the wifi drop or disconnect as of yet that I'm aware of. Might want to give it a try.
Check the advanced options in Wi-Fi menu of settings, maybe the Wi-Fi sleep policy settings are set to OFF whenever SLEEP/SCREEN OFF. Change it to ALWAYS ON, or NEVER WHEN CHARGING. Tends to drain the battery a lot more, if set to always on. I use wifi manager by Kostya Vasiliyev (available in the Google play store) to get fast WiFi lock-on after screen on/wake.

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)
Sent from my MB870 using XDA Premium App
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.
Hey all I've had the jelly bean P.A 2.1 rom with hydro 3.5 for afew days' and I think my battery is draining Abit to much. I have no clue how to use betterbatterystats so can I have some pointers??? Ive fully charged my phone and its been running for around 20 mins and using only wifi to browse and it drained 10%. Is this normal....
I've snapped some shots but I don't have a clue what betterbatterystats means...

judging on the screenshot you have dude, I'd say you have one massive wakelocks on your phone. It seemed that your data connection is always on. Wifi, 3G and etc.
My rule of law (I'm not sure if this will apply to you, but you can give it a try if you like), is... Use only data connection (Wifi/3G/BT) on a need to basis. What that means is, you can turn it off all your data connections and turn it ON ONLY when you need to. Your phone's always awake all the time. That explains the wakelocks your phone is getting, plus coupled the fact that there are some background apps syncing continuously. That's one of the causes on your drains.

Hey
I never have data on thoe. I've been home so wifi has been on. I only usw data if I'm at work on shift etc and I've not worked for over two months. I do have Google syncing and whatsapp always stays on even when I turn it off it comes on by itself. The rest are off.
Can't understand why it says data is on as I never use it much at all but wifi I use alot yes I admit but I don't leave it running. Anything I can do?
Cheers

well, Is Google syncing really that important to you? You have to bear in mind what is really needed and what is just wanting it.
If Google Sync is not that much important, then you can turn that off. With regards to Wifi, you can also change that to sleep mode (settings> wifi settings/advanced/wifi sleep policy)
Wifi is a big battery drainer in every aspects as well and like I've said before.. if you don't necessarily need to connect to the internet.. then turn your WIFI off and 3G mobile data OFF. Just enable it when you like to use it and turn it off after your done using it.

Thanks for the tips but yeh I do not leave data or wifi on. Mainly use wifi so I'm sure that's part of it. I could leave Google sync off and maybe just refresh it every week or so instead of leaving it running. Just thought it was easier incase I add contacts etc. I will just turn it off. My whatapp stays on even when I turn syncing off. I don't think the app works without keeping it synced.
Cheers

keep the Whatapp sync (If that's the app you really need all the time) sync and the rest off-sync.
Reset your phone and observe it again.
