[Q] Wifi Battery Drain but Wifi OFF - - Samsung Galaxy Alpha

Possibly from Software Upgrade to 850MUBUBOB1 -
I see WIFI as Battery Drain and shows as "ON" according to Battery Stats but
is not ON.
Cleared Cache and shut off Wifi in App Manager...
Will this go away on next Battery Cycle or is it one of those weird quirks like on S6 ?
Should I force stop Wifi for awhile then restart ?

bro, i have same problem. i format my phone 2 time to solve this problem. but it didn't stop .then i think that some one hack my phone. but last i manage my self to solve that problem.
go to ur wifi setings . then click " advanced". then unmark this one "always allow scanning". now every thing is ok.
google call it feature. but it is not.google helps NSA to monitor u. if u r threat to US.

Wifi bug

i've the rom GingerDX 031c and I've noted a bug with wifi.
pratically, when the phone connected to a wifi and when I put it in standby, it lose the connection with the wifi, so, for example, if someone send me an important message on whatsapp I can't know, because is such as there isn't wifi.
anyone can fix this bug?
sorry for my bad english.
If u use scripts it happens especially performance scripts like pure performance... Scripts switch to data and close wifi when phone sleeps... Did not read the scripts yet, could look when i had time...

LooL.
1.Just Go to Wi-Fi settings
2.Click Menu (Left button) Of ace.
3.Click Advanced
4.Click on Wi-Fi Sleep Policy
5.And select 3rd option that is Never
This happens because usually By default Option selected for wifi is like when you turn off screen Your wifi gets disconnected automatically.This setting is for battery Conservation purpose.
So you have to manually change that default setting.So after this your wiFi will not turn Off though your screen is off.
Hope this helps you.
& I don't think it has anything to do with Scripts.
Hit Thanx If I helped U - Its frEE

In stock my phones Wifi works even the phone go into sleep. But if i use Adrenaline, pure performance, vs... when phone enters screen saver Data opens Wifi closes!
I did not test on CM7 or AOSP or any system uses 2.3.7 but probably the same....

This.
Even you turn off the Wi-Fi, the hardware is still on and searching, just it won't connect to any network.
But FYI since Android 4.1 there is low Wi-Fi battery consumption feature that phones use and if you are not connected to any network while Wi-Fi on, it will use maybe 1% battery overnight. I don't ever turn off my Wi-Fi because I want to connect to know network as soon as I am in the range and have the same battery as turned off.

Maybe you are affected with malware. Check for monkey test and ikeyboard in apps.. Or use stubborn trojan killer app or malwarebyte app to verify.. Had the same problem in samsung a3 solved by rooting and usong these apps.. Hope this solves ur problem.

Hah. No need for that. You can try flashing only your ROM and installing nothing and enable the wifi always scanning and you will see wifi is always on.

Yes, is related to Google location service.
In OxigenOS you can turn off Wifi Scanning, but after that the wifi will be much slower in the connecting process.
In HydorgenOS there is no option to turn off Wifi Scanning.
I prefer to have wifi scanning active even if it will use more battery. On my phone, in 3 days, the Wifi shows 1% battery usage.

Android 6.0 shutting down data connection (Wifi and mobile data) in standby

I am not sure if this is a 6.0 problem or the problem of my new umi super so please excuse that try finding answers here first. My Phone is shutting down mobile data and wifi connection when going to standby.. not immediatly but after an undefined time span. Calls and Calender notifications are still comming throught but i recieve a billion whatsapp messages at once when turning on the screen. any ideas? i have never used clean 6.0 just sultan roms up to know, so i cant really say if this is a basic problem, an umi problem or just settings i screwed up.
Thanks,
M

With root you might be able to. It would depend on where it is in the code. Make sure to double check all data connections. Make sure they are not set to be disabled when screen is off.
I would contact them and see if they have the kernel source somewhere. Explain to them what is going on and maybe they will help fix it. (don't count on this option)

Phone disconnects from Wi-Fi in sleep mode

Greetings. I have a problem with my phone and Wi-Fi connection.
My phone is a Sony Xperia J running stock Android 4.1.2. When I leave it for a while in sleep mode, whether charging or not, it disconnects from my Wi-Fi connection and uses my phone's data, draining my data plan.
I need your help concerning this issue. Here are some of my phone's related settings:
Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep: Always.
Avoid poor connections: Unchecked.
Extended Standby Mode: Unchecked.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: Since then I've disabled my data plan so I can check if my phone is properly connecting to my Wi-Fi or not. It seems that yesterday I had no problem, but today I'm experiencing it. I don't know what should I do. :crying:

Did u use SIPdroid?
If yes uninstall it.

Also make sure that you don't have the battery saver mode on or another app that tries to save battery because they will often interfere and disable that for you as well.

Only other setting I can think of that controls that is in Developer Options. There's one that's aggressive hand off from wifi to cellular data and one for keep data on at all times. If you haven't enabled Developer Options yet then forget I mentioned it as it'll not be on by default.

I have Developer Options enabled and I don't see any of these options there.
Anyway, I think I have found the cause of the problem (a conflicting application, I just did a clean reinstall of it) and so far I'm good, if the problem persists I'll post again.
Thank you everyone who participated in this thread.
Glad to hear that it seems you found the cause. Please let us know what app in case someone else has the same issue and stumbles across your post.
Well, it was WhatsApp. Apparently I had a duplicate APK in my SD card (I use Link2SD) from before the factory reset. I say it was a duplicate because I unlinked WhatsApp from the SD card, but when I uninstalled it it said it was removing it from the SD card.
Thanks again!

Not sure about this one but i found a solution close to your problem:
"If data saver is activated, hotspot is restricted to 5 minutes only. Disable data saver should solve the problem. Security/Data Usage/Data Saver/Turn Off"
I think its due to MIUI battery saving automations
Follow this one and report back.

I just found out that option was remove lately on latest update.
Try this one: (founded at miui forum)
Go to Security app > Data usage > Data Usage Stat> System apps > make sure that the "Android System" is allowed for data usage.
or, Data usage> Restrict data usage > system tab> enable data usage on Android system
Hopefully it works for you. Not in muiu ryt now so I cant test.
