then easy battery saver is messing up settings, there must be some setting about wifi sleep policy in easy battery saver.

Lol this is really easy, install easy battery saver from the market. I think you need to install easy task killer first. Then in the easy battery saver app, choose either general or intelligent power saving mode. There, your WiFi will turned off automatically when your phone sleeps. I use it and it works

backup apps and then do a factory reset?
Ye that should work!
Update: reset done still the same.. Repaired the phone via SE pc companion no luck, still WiFi won't sleep when screen's off...

last option left is reflash via wotanserver
same problem here, but the solution is simple.. really simple..
I take it you're on Inteli Mode right?
you just need to add the wireless widget then stop and start the wireless again
then your wireless will sleep when the display is turn off
cheers

What power saving utilities do y'all use for your wildfires? Unfortunately, toggle data hasn't been working with juice defender but other than that I'm using mainly that app to make my wildfire last longer! Also have y5 although it seems obsolete now with v3 of juice defender.
Really want toggle data, might even go back to froyo soon because of that

Do you mean turn 3G or mobile internet off? There's settings in CM7 to do that....
No I mean it used to toggle data off when screen is off and only turns on when screen is unlocked. I don't want to toggle it manually every time I turn the screen off.

Do you overclock your wildfire ?
You could try creating a serparate profile to lower CPU speed when screeen is turned off.
Or best way to save power, don't use it

There's an app by a dev here on XDA called SuperPower I think, it's also on the market. I don't use it anymore but I remember it could successfully toggle data according to screen state
I turned off Auto Sync and Background Data to try and prolong battery life.
Is there anyway I can set Gmail to sync automatically while having those settings off?
Or is there a diffrent way to preserve battery life
I also turned down brightness and turned GPS off, Auto adjust screen power off.
Thanks
Contrary to common perception and unlike wifi, GPS does NOT use battery when turned on and idle. It only uses battery when an application is actively using it. There are some firewall apps in the market that let you cherry pick which programs can use your data connection. You can set it up so everything but gmail is prevented from using background data.

Yes, in your case changing Wi-Fi policy will greatly improve your battery.
Change it from always connected to "when the screen is on"

I noticed my wifi dies out when locked and getting bad battery life. I took a three hour nap and if went down 15-20%. I noticed my bfs galaxy notes wifi is constant(using the same wifi) even when his screen is off and he's at 14 hours at 40%.
So i guess my question is what is the norm as far as wifi connectivity goes and why does mine disconnect and his stay on? Defective device?

U can change the settings under wifi settings, press menu and then advanced settings.

Not really sure why this is kept under advanced settings menu..how i'd do it..
Wifi toggled off, hide wifi sleep policy.
Toggle wifi on, wifi sleep policy shows up underneath. Press on this, notification bubble(similiar to how you pick your ringtones/fonts) pops up with the two or three options..
I never understood the need to hide things in "Advanced Menus", just only show what's pertinent to what the user has enabled.
My battery was draining really quickly before I did this. Now everything is much more as expected.
Hi guys
My samsung galaxy s3 battery is draining freaking fast around 1% for every 3-4 minutes
I tried to reset the battery stats and monitor it using better battery stats and all but there is no wakelocks.
Is there any reason why am i having this trouble?
Is anyone else having the same trouble?
Feel free to share here.
[EDIT]: I m running custom rom jellybean criskelo.
Do you have the Facebook app installed? This has caused issues for several people with it constantly syncing.
As a test either disable fb syncing or uninstall fb and see if that improves you battery.

Also do you have GPS or Wifi on constantly or any of the usual battery draining settings. Auto sync will also cause a big battery drain.
GPS won't do anything to the battery unless you're using it. If you have the GPS symbol in the notification bar then its being used otherwise its fine to leave it on.
I have set wi-fi settings in the advanced menu to make wi-fi sleep when the phone is so it's not on 100% of the time when i don't need it. Auto sync i turn off. Brightness is down as low as it can be with auto turned off - adjust it manually if your outside. Make sure you've disabled the S Speak Wake up commands on lock screen.
These increased my battery life quite abit.
Do you take the phone in the bathroom when you shower? That drain sounds very high indeed, possible moisture damage?

Even though GPS isn't used with it switched on it will still use battery so I believe your incorrect there.
I didint install any facebook app and my syncing is switched off all the time....
Any idea why?
Are you in a low signal area? I know it's a pain but to be on the safe side I would perform a factory reset. Also In android settings under battery option what does it show is using your battery?

No, you are incorrect. He is correct. GPS isnt activated unless an app accesses it. The toggle only allows it to be used.

Ok I stand corrected apoligies for that.
Please be aware though if you use the weather widget and its allowed to use GPS, GPS will be used every hour or so to check location (or whatever your refresh period is) so please be aware its not just opening an app. Widgets like weather widget will always be able to use GPS automatically unless Auto Refresh is set to 'None'
I read something about there being a software bug specifically for the s3 a couple of days ago. Just my 2 cents

I don't understand my high awake time. I posted some samples. I've much more awake time than my display is on, but I don't understand why.
Kernel wakelocks are about 15 min total, Partitial wakelocks are about 7 minutes, only a few alarms. My Processes consume only seconds of cpu time.
How can i find out what is reponsible for this high awake time? Are there other tools than BBS, CpuSpy and Elixir2?
Is there any way to monitor the phone during sleep/standby what causes awake time?
Your pictures didn't come.
Is sync on, running a location program? Installed any apps recently?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Pictures are now available. Sync is on, no location Program running. No New Apps
Your WIFI is running all the time. Might want to turn on option in advanced settings to turn off wifi automatically after screen is off few mins.
Yep, WiFi. And is your GPS on? If your network provider doesn't offer fast dormancy, you should go on and disable it also.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
are you using apps like screen off or something like that?
Wifi off has no effect on awake time, GPS is only active when used. VF provides fast dormancy.
What causes awake time? I see nothing in BBS?
I use a screen off app. But i don't see any difference when using power button, screen off by app or timeout

I've no problem with battery drain. Overnight with wifi connected (no 3g data) consumes less battery than 3g connection.
My problem is the awake time because i dont' see any cause why this is that high.

That is the culprit
Screen off app dont put your phone into deep sleep but instead it turns off your screen but still awake, meaning use physical power button if you want to put your phkne into deep sleep. And also make sure you close all apps in the multitask or recent apps

I tested it. There is no difference beetween power button and my screen off app (force_lock permission). Both shut down the device and enter deep sleep.
Any other ideas?

I supposed your using BBS? You told me that when you shutdown the device it enter deep sleep? So how in the world you have high awake time if your phone is in deep sleep?
Here try this:
Make a BBS widget in your homescreen bcoz it is more understandable than entering the app itself. You will see deep sleep time and awake time and screen on time in there. Then try to shutdown using power button then after 5mins check if your deep sleep counter goes up, then try your screen off app then after 5mins check if deep sleep counter goes up if not then its different.
Or maybe your wifi or mobile data is on gps is active.
