Tablet Information > Turn off Radio at the bottom. Since I have the WiFi only version I'm thinking it might save a little battery power since my battery monitor shows "Cell Standby" as one process that uses up some battery time.

I don't know if it helps but you can go into Airplan-mode (Settings -> Wireless & networks). After you select this mode you have to turn on WiFi again.

Yes Airplane Mode will do the same but I did not like the unlock screen with Airplane mode on. I like the Sence unlock screen better.

LOL and this needs the location function which use the cell radio.
But what I learn from your request is that also the WiFi model have an GSM but only no SIM-card-hardware.
EDIT: I check the radio off-switch in the "Tablet Information" test tool and this also helps, no Airplane mode, normal unlock-screen but as soon as the location function is used (weather app, locations app, ...) the Flyer crashes and reboot with radio on
Maybe it didn't when you switch off also the location function in the settings? I didn't try it.

Really? I don't have any of these problems with the Radio off by this hack such as it is, I never did it through the settings options. I rebooted and the radio did come back on...but that is good to know as well.
Stupid ? sorry. Do you have to turn off radio everytime you power off and on the flyer? Everytime I power off and back on radio is back on. You can't use bluetooth while in airplane mode. thank you
The cell radio is re-enabled after a reboot.

Where did you hear this from?
Was told there would be an update when I called HTC. They have great support. You get right through to someone. Also turn off fast boot, power off device and charge until the LED is green. This will reset your battery stats and should get rid of the cell standby. Worked for me.

Under wifi settings>advanced>Wifi sleep policy. selecting turn off wifi when screen is off setting does not seem to take effect.
Tested by pinging it and continues to ping even 5-10 mins after screen is turned off.
anybody else having the same issue ?
Have the same issue, want my wifi to turn off when the screen turns off but wifi stays connected.
Only thing I can think of is that i restored my access point with titanium.
Can this cause any problem and if it can, can I delete the restored settings?
My sleep policy works fine when turning screen off. When i turn on the screen, the wi-fi icon appears after a few seconds. Also the battery usage shows that wi-fi is off when screen is off and phone inactive. Might be related to one of your apps that conflicts with the wi-fi policy. Happened to me when using an app that had options to turn on/off wi-fi scanning.

Weird, will have to check this up.
But as far as I know I don't have any other app that manages wifi.
As you can see in my screenshot, wifi is on at all time even when sleep policy is set to sleep when screen off.
Currently I'm not connected to any wifi since I don´t have any in range at work but it looks exactly the same when I´m connected to my home network.

Have you tried setting the sleep policy to 'never'?
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I did a factory reset (XXKI4) and it was still the same. Screen off, policy set to turn off when screen is off but I can still ping the phone after a few minutes.....?!?
EDIT: I remembered ;-) Had the same thing on my original Galaxy over a year ago.

Cant save sleep settings.....
I have a slightly stranger problem that's just started. I'm aware of the situation where wifi takes 15 mins to turn off after screen turns off was never bothered with that aspect.
However, since today I found wifi was staying on continuously - checked in settings & wifi sleep policy had reverted to 'never' - I always had it set to 'sleep when screen turns off'.
The problem now is that I change it to sleep when screen turns off' and 'save' this setting but it's not saving - when wifi goes off & then back on again or if I reboot phone, it reverts to 'never'.
Any ideas folks?
Back-up data and factory reset .
jje
Would like to know this too.
Wouldn't like to back up and reset everytime this happens.
Also couldn't find the files in /dbdata folder as indicated by the Galaxy S thread pointed to.
Is there any other solution?
someone says using static IP will solved this issue but It didn't...
Any news on that?

Had the same problem, where the battery no longer lasted the whole day.
When I checked under "Settings/ Battery" and clicked on the graph I could see that whilst the phone was sleeping, WiFi was not.
I have done a few "factory resets." All seemed okay to start off with and then after a while I would notice the same problem.
This last time I found that "Google Now" is the culprit.
Just click on the blue Google Icon, under Applications, then bring up the menu, click on "Privacy and Accounts" then "Google Location Settings", then "Location Access" and make sure "Use wireless networks" is not checked. (also available from "Settings/ Location services")
That fixed it for me!!

Mine is not checked and its still keep 'on' for almost hour...
as far as I know its better to be on wifi instead of data, eat less battery... but anyway I guess its have its own wakelocks...
Hey everyone, I seem to be having issues when using wifi. When home I try to use wifi and it connects and seems to be working fine. After a while when sitting idle everything will just stops working. The phone itself seems fine, but i'll stop getting email and anything that uses internet stops working as well. To get things to start working I have to either toggle wifi or just turn wifi off.
Any ideas?
Check your battery/sync settings. If you changed to normal sync/wifi/etc will turn off after 15 minutes unless you manually change it.
Even at Performance power setting, I found my Wi-Fi would still go to "sleep" after sitting for a while. The culprit I think is the "Sleep Mode", which is enabled by default. Changing that to manual or even off should solve the problem.

You have to go to Advanced under WiFi Settings (Hit menu button) and turn always on.
Mine has the same "problem." I'm ok with WiFi turning off to save battery. I haven't been able to reliably get it to wake up.

Good call, man. I think that's why mine randomly shuts off too! Im gonna start setting sleep mode for when I sleep every night.... It says it shuts off networks when screen is off but when I turn it on, WiFi is on right away...when you turn WiFi off it takes much longer than that to power up so I don't know what networks its shutting down lol

Is there any way to disable the phone radio of this phone, for when I travel internationally? The last time I traveled, in order to use wifi and bluetooth - the phone's antenna kept searching for a non-existant signal and killed my battery consistently.
Is there a setting I just don't see that allows me to use everything but the phone functions? Airplane mode wipes out everything.
Thanks.

You didn't read my last post - that works, but not for bluetooth. AM kills bluetooth no matter what.
Hello, everybody. Newb here (only have had the HTC Evo View 4G for a couple of days now). I have a question about the battery and screen. Is it regular for the screen to use up about ~60 percent of the battery? (According the usage stats). I find that the screen is bright, even on the lowest setting.
Also, I have a question about the battery. It seems to be draining a little quick (I am using lowest brightness and WiFi only). Could some people share how long their battery usually lasts for regular usage? I don't think it's a hardware issue. Like I've said, I've only had it for 2 days, so I don't know if I still need to wait a little.
Thanks!
The screen is one of the biggest battery drainers (if not the biggest) on tablets. So if you are using the tablet a lot, and the screen is on for long periods of time, then 60% seems normal. I don't have my Flyer with me right now to check what my % for screen is.
Battery drain is going to depend a bunch on how much you are using your View, and for what. With moderate usage, I can get around 2 days on a charge. I'd say that is about average for me. But if you are downloading big files and gaming, and/or have the screen on a lot, it can be significantly less.

Okay, that makes sense. The battery life seems to be getting better. One more question. I want WiFi to turn off after a certain amount of time once the screen timeouts. Is there any way to do this in the settings or with an app? The settings (official 3.2) has a WiFi timeout policy that gives three options:
Switch from WiFi to mobile data when screen is off
Never switch WiFi off
Never switch WiFi off when plugged in
I live in Canada and don't have a plan. Would using the first option drain more battery because it is looking for a connection? Or should I use the third option?
Thanks again.
Hmm, not sure. I have the WiFi only version of the Flyer, and on mine the first choice is just "When screen turns off". The first choice on your View is weird. Mobile data always uses more power than WiFi, if both are available. I don't see why you would ever want that.
BTW, I'm at home and have access to my Flyer now. Battery usage for screen is 52% for me. So I'd say 60% you mentioned is pretty normal.
You should also take into account, unless you've taken steps to turn it off/remove it, Cell standby might also be causing your battery life to take a hit. Since the View is set up to also be able to receive text messages, out of the box it's constantly trying to connect to Sprint's cellular network, even if you have mobile data turned off. This thread discusses ways to deal with it. Cell standby used to be one of the biggest users of my battery. Now, it's no longer a problem and I've seen a major increase in battery life.
As for the WiFi issue, the first choice in the settings actually says "When screen turns off (uses more mobile data)." That doesn't mean that it automatically switches mobile data on if you've turned it off in the settings by selecting that option. It's worded that way because the View is designed to be used on Sprint's network, so under normal circumstances it is assumed that if you turn WiFi off, you'll have a data plan and automatically connect to the mobile data network. If you don't have an account with mobile data from Sprint, and you've turned off mobile data in the settings, it won't be an issue because you have nothing to connect to.

Okay, thanks everybody. I really appreciate it. With heavy usage (basically using it all the time) I'd get about 6 hours and 10 minutes. Is that normal for everybody else?
Also, I have a couple of more questions, if you guys don't mind.
First of all, could rooting my device boost my battery life? Would it give me more access to settings like screen brightness?
And, do apps running in the background use battery life or are they 'frozen' until active? This sort of leads me into my next question. Is having 400-500MB of RAM always being used normal? Is the OS using all of it?
And I notice that when I put my tablet in airplane mode (to kill the 4G radio) I lose access to Bluetooth. Is this normal and will turning off airplane mode for a minute be a battery drain?
Thanks again, guys.

Answers:
Rooting won't necessarily boost battery life, but does give you ways to access more system items if you want using apps that take advantage of root.
Android attempts to keep non-rumming apps in memory so that it can load them faster in the future (Ram is much faster than SD memory). 80% Ram full is typical.
Airplane mode turns off all radios, BT, Wifi, GPS, 3g.
There are apps in the market that can turn various things on / off based on your environment / time / conditions

You don't need root access to adjust screen brightness. Settings -> Screen -> Brightness.

Airplane mode turns off all radios initially, but then you can turn almost all of them right back on (except for the cellular radios). I run mine in airplane mode all the time to keep the cellular radio completely inactive, but I still use WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth when I need/want them, and they all work great. Are you running Gingerbread or Honeycomb? I do seem to remember some mentions of not being able to use Bluetooth in airplane mode on Gingerbread. It works perfectly fine on Honeycomb.
And you can turn off the 4G radio and all data service without turning on airplane mode (Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile network). Doing this turns off all radios that receive data from the cellular network, but it doesn't turn all cellular functions off since the View is also set up to receive text messages. That's what airplane mode or any of these options address.
What I meant by adjusting the screen brightness was being able to control its range more than I can right now (I feel that even the lowest setting can be too much). But it seems that rooting/installing a custom ROM wouldn't do too much for the battery.
But my issue with airplane mode is that I can't turn on Bluetooth with it (Bluetooth is 'grayed out'). I am running official Honeycomb.

Did you try tapping on the box for Bluetooth in the settings even though it looks like you can't, and did you try using a widget to turn it on? I'm using stock OTA Honeycomb, and Bluetooth works perfectly fine for me while in airplane mode. I can turn it on in the settings (the box does look a little "grayed out," but you can still select it) or via a homescreen widget. If you can't turn it on with either of those, then it would seem that you've got some other type of problem. It works fine for me. I just tested it out again.

I just tried it. It seems to not be working for me, but it doesn't seem like a glitch but something built into the OS (I tried with a widget and it did a little 'no' animation). It's alright, I rarely use Bluetooth anyway.

I'd venture to say it's not something built into the OS. If it is built into the OS, then there's a glitch that allows me to use it under the same circumstances, and glitches rarely enable functionality. They almost always cause a device to lose functionality like you're experiencing. I'd be curious to know if anyone else is having the same issue you're having.
Last time I have ran battery test on my Flyer I ran it for almost 11 days on one charge. Yeap, 11 days. I mostly used Flyer as a notepad, checked orders on website couple of times a day, read emails. One day I played a game for about 20 minutes. At the end I set up and tested Plex and Google Music. I stopped the test at 11% charge. Overall screen was on for a bit over 4 hours (40%). Wi-fi on for 16 hours (only 4% ??) according to stats. That's pretty much it. Tablet idle 43%. Fairly light usage, but I mostly was testing how much of useable time I can get out of it. 11 days is a pleasing result.

If you can not find a setting try using the search feature within the settings menu. This will come in handy due to a few toggles/options being moved to different spots.
Wifi power saving mode was moved to Developer Options.
Description of the toggle isn't clear, but this is the only power saving setting for WiFi I see.

That's the only setting I see that deals with WiFi power saving. Last I knew it was moved under developer options, I can try looking later to see if I can find it again
But let me ask this because what you write makes it sound like you want WiFi to turn off when the phone sleeps because it may drain the battery gradually if it is on all the time. If that is the case the only other setting I can find that would come close is "turn on WiFi automatically" under adaptive WiFi.
From the way it looks the default setting is to have WiFi enabled all the time, but as for power drain it is not anything at all significant or noticeable. I myself can still get a full days of use with the phone and still have power to spare and active usage.

Sorry, my bad.. I took another look at your image and the answer is no, the option is not present in or on my phone. I am running the snapdragon G965U and Android Pie so if your running the Exynos model I am not sure if the menu layout/options are different... Side thought on the matter, it might help if people start indicating the chipset on the phone in case it does matter in some way.
I did google search it a bit and it would seem that the WiFi sleep is no longer used, it is either always on, selectively turns on based on location, adjusted pending on usage patterns, or always off (if WiFi is turned off).
I personally do not use "Turn on WiFi automatically" or "WiFi power saving mode" because they caused more problems then they did good for me. With WiFi enabled and having mobile data on all the time I have suffered no ill effects or any noticeable impact to my battery consumption, so IMHO I would just leave your WiFi enabled if you use it.

Sorry, my bad.. I took another look at your image and the answer is no, the option is not present in or on my phone. I am running the snapdragon G965U and Android Pie so if your running the Exynos model I am not sure if the menu layout/options are different... Side thought on the matter, it might help if people start indicating the chipset on the phone in case it does matter in some way.

I think maybe because of Android pie that make that make it different. Anyway thanks for your help.
Google has removed this feature since Android 8 and the WiFi is now always on.
That's stupid, but that's Google...
There is an application in the Store to deactivate WiFi during sleep, but it's not so efficient and need to stay in memory.
(this no WiFi sleep is the main reason I return back to Android 7 on my tablet.)
The default seems to be Wifi always on. However, on my Galaxy Note 8 with Android Pie, the wifi still disconnects whenever the phone sleeps. Turning the Wifi power saving mode on or off does not change this.
