My wifi is remaining on all the time, even during deep sleep. It is draining the battery exessivly.
I can see in BBS that the phone is getting into deep sleep, with very few partial and kernal wakelocks... However each time I go to unlock the phone the wifi is still on and already connected.
I am running Omega v30, Syiah 1.7rc1
Tried Wiping Cache, Delvic Cache, Fixing Permissions, Formatting /system
Wifi settings are set to never.
Anyone got any ideas?

Are you reffering to the 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' section? As that is already set to Never.
Dont see Sleep Policy, nor do I seem to be able to access it..

I cannot figure this out.. been wasting more of my work day attempting to fix this..Next step is a full wipe I guess...
personally I just use juice defender to manage it all for me, people criticize it, but for someone like me that always forgets to turn Wi-Fi off, it does the job and saves more battery than it uses!
or just create a tasker profile that switches off Wifi during your sleeping hours.
Are you using viber, it has its own wifi sleep policy

My wifi was alright with original 2.3.3 gingerbread. But after flashing to 4.0.2.A.0.42 it started to crash and reconnect every 10-15 sec. I thought that problem is with my router, tried to reset it, but the same problem.Connected with my Huawei u8650 and it worked fine. So i understood, that problem is with phones wifi. I searched the interned and all xda forum, but find nothing. So i ask for help.
Thanks.
Ensure you clear cache dalvik cache, data and full reset before flashing.
Suggest you wipe all user data, caches, dalvik indeed and then see if it happens again.
If it repeats then SE firmwares do have a history of having wifi problems, especially the 2.3.3 ones of 3.x.x..
Is there an echo on here?
+ Wifi fine on 2.3.4... OP is on .42 so no issue.

NO - You don't need to do that. WiFi will reconnect and stay connected perfectly well if setting is sleep with screen off. Or bye-bye battery life.
Their problems are more likely due to the way they updated their firmware. i.e. without a FULL reset and clearing data/cache (both caches). Or coming from a custom ROM or kernel. Or sh*te router.

i tried that too, but as i said, it also happens with the screen on, like talking via gTalk and the wifi disconnects and reconnects, when i bought the phone was in 2.3.3 and wifi worked great, even better than the iPod,so, this issue appeared with the .42 (2.3.4) update.
just installed the .62 update, i still have the Wifi Issues =/!
Just updated to .62 firmware, and i'm still having the wifi issue =/
How? Did you clear caches, full reset?
No, i updated using PC companion,I have the phone stock because the warranty

Suggest you do a full factory data reset and then update.
How many Wifi APs have you tried?
to default to WiFi for data, even though I have never once turned WiFi on??
I have had two Rezounds & both did the exact same thing. I don't want my phone to EVER turn on WiFi unless I tell it to about once a year and it seems everytime I turn around it is back on WiFi again.
In wifi settings theres a option saying notify me when oppening apps if wifi is available. Uncheck it.

I unchecked that a long time ago, now it doesn't notify me but it still keeps right on connecting that way when I want it to stay in 4G.

Running Scott's senseless GB rom and when I turn wifi off it stays off no matter what it is I do. Also have notify me unchecked. Try going into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik cache and see if that helps.

I've wiped both caches many times (did them both yesterday actually).
Maybe it's a sense thing. If so I'll live with it as I really love sense and it's widgets.
I discovered this issue not matter which rom I flash (CM7, CM9, Motoblur, etc.) : my wifi never goes to sleep even though I set the sleep policy correctly in the settings...
Any idea what to do ?
Up ?
Any clue on why this is happening. I had a massive error this morning (phone wouldn't boot) and I had to revert to full stock and the bug is still there...
have you tried reflashing system with RSD? or airplane mode?
I just flashed through RSD and the Wifi is always on. And I don't want to go in Airplane mode...I still need my phone for phone calls, you know...
just try to turn on Airplane Mode. If wifi will be turned on then you have hardware problem, and you have send your phone to service
Airplane mode actually shuts the wifi, as it should...
Wifi shuts off around 5 minutes after screen is shut off IF there is not data being transfered. Maybe you have a rogue app that keeps your connection busy? Hmmm

Try flashing this. It's for ICS based roms, but it sets permissions on 3 files that cause your phone to not fully go to sleep

Do these files install in the correct location? I was reading a discussion not long ago where some thought /system/bin and some thought /system/xbin. There was also a mention of setting permissions.
Edit:
I just remembered that I also downloaded a file from your Goo Atrix page. It is a different file size from the link you posted in the message I am replying to.

I looked at the script and a recent flash of jokersax v070, the permissions are already set to root:shell 744 (rwxr-xr-x) on the directory and files, so no need to flash on that rom in my opinion

Happens with CM9 here, but only at my work. At my home wifi sleep works.
I'm testing the solution given here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23211
Wifi entered sleep normally after the change. I will test more.
I can also confirm that the phone will deep sleep and that WIFI will sleep with this patch on Jokersax' CM9 0.7.0.0. Without the patch neither of those things worked.

If you look at the scripts you'll see that jokersax 070 already performs the steps contained in this script and on a phone without this applied the files do correctly reflect the permissions per this script. I can see that you are battling with this issue, as many are, but considering the two scripts are identical, it makes no senses to make this claim. I do believe you regarding the symptoms. And I am unable to offer an explanation regarding the apparent change on your phone.

no idea mate it shouldn't do as i have mine set to never and it stays like that, have you been flashing ROM's or anything like that maybe that could explain it!
No, not really.
The only thing I've done is rooted it. Apart from that, It's still got stock Samsung Rom on it.
Just checked again, and even tried setting it to "only when plugged in, but after 15 mins or so, it's back to "always" again.

For anyone else who might come across the same issue.
After doing a factory reset, and putting apps back on one at a time, I found out it was DoubleTwist Airsync, that was changing the "WIFI sleep" option.
Apparently, the developer knows this, but wants it to work that way.
So it's now gone for me
But you won't lose too much battery on an 7 hr sleep with the always on setting.
I go to sleep with my S3 on 98% and wake up with 92-94% battery left even with received messages from 3 email accounts and other notifications.

Sent from my S3 using Tapatalk
I keep mine on always. I lose 3% during an 8hr sleep and it'll automatically connect to my carrier data when my network is not in range. Sure beats turning it off and on a handful times a day.
Weird is that WiFi is active in either option you shoose during sleep. Even if you choose NEVER, open your battery use stats and you'll see that WiFi was active all the time during sleep. I cannot understand why is this issue so underrated here on XDA forums. Or is it some kind of misinterpreting from my side???

Yup afaik, choosing never will produce a wakelock to check the phone state and keeping it on will cause it to constantly scan even if connected to a network. Both choices will eat up battery.
I see many threads suggesting to just manually turn it off, preventing scanning, wakelocks and syncing all together.

I have the international version and the battery drain in standby is a big problem. I lose about 1% every 5-10 minutes. I'm connected to a Wi-Fi network. I've been using GSam Battery Monitor to locate the problem. I saw Facebook woke up my phone for about 500 times and I deleted it. However, I'm still experiencing this issue. In 5 hours Google services woke up my phone 47 times (in included packages it says: Google Contacts Sync; Network Location) and Maps woke it up for about 20 times.
I'm rooted and I'm running stock (LH1). No custom kernels or modems. What's the problem?
EDIT: Also, the drain is happening only when I'm connected to a Wi-Fi network (I noticed it's much slower while I'm on mobile data)

I've turned it off and as far as I've seen it didn't fix the issue. However, I will leave my phone for a couple of hours tomorrow to see again. There are apps for which I have to have it turned on (Foursquare, Maps etc.) so that's a bummer.
Even I am having the same problem of battery drain. Will it get fixed if the change the battery considering I have two 2 Galaxy S3 with the same problem of battery drain.?
Also I want to root my phones, but is there a way to root the phone without the warranty being void?
I've been experiencing some minor battery drain issues and what I found is that if I log out of all the apps I'm logged in to, my battery drain is significantly better. Not a perfect solution but I'm slowly figuring out which one is causing issues.
