Wifi reciever constantly on? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My battery recently started draining ridiculously fast (like 20‰ in a half hour) with only regular use.. I assume its from the fact i noticed the wifi seems to constantly be turned on.... Except its not actually turned on by me. In the picture, the mobile network is clearly turned off because i had my phone in airplane mode for two hours, but wifi is still active.

I have the advanced settings "scanning always available" for google play etc turned off. Although i assume it is still searching for a signal through some app or setting as battery does drop significantly slower when wifi is actually turned on and being used. I have not installed any apps or changed any settings that i am aware of since this started happening.
Is there perhaps an app i could use to check my phone and see what else may be causing wifi to be constantly on?
I have a galaxy s4 with cyanogen mod 12.1 and TWMP

[Q] Wifi and the recent ICS leak

I just installed the recent ICS leak and all's well so far, save for one little thing. i have an airport extreme at home, and while it appears to connect to my wifi, it's not listed on my AE's connected devices. furthermore, i still have the 4G LTE icon as well as the wifi icon. So, it seems that it's still using 4G. I've tried the wifi other places and all seems well.
Also, when i FORCE it into wifi (put in airplane mode, turn on wifi) it works fine.
Any ideas?
rats... was going to post a screen cap. i guess i have about 5 more posts to go before i can.
maybe now?

interesting... another AE at work, set up pretty much just the same, but i can see in the airport utility that it IS connected, but same result here... 4G LTE icon next to wifi.

BarePapA rogue WiFi calling battery drain

So, I just came back to BarePapA after being on cloudy for a while, so, I was having lots of battery drain, so I looked it battery settings, and found that WiFi calling was the cause for 28% of my battery drain. But, the issue is, that I wasn't using WiFi calling, nor was it on in the settings, and I could close it, and go back into settings, and the cpu total usage for WiFi calling would go up in time, meaning that it was running. The only way I could get it to stop was freezing it with titanium, and rebooting. So I was wondering if anyone has experienced this also, attached are some screenshot to show the usage, and to show that it wasn't on in settings

Nexus 7 battery use... What's causing this weird graph?!

Since I installed Marshmallow I've had massive battery drain problems with my Nexus 2013 (Wifi)
I tried all the tricks on here, cache clearing, chaning wifi settings (used to show wifi as the culprit, but not any more) and finally a factory reset.
However, I still keep coming to the tablet to find it completely dead!
Here is the battery use graph from when I got to it last night:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Looks normal at first... Slow drain, sudden drop when I watch a video, slow drain again until I watch a video the following day, but after that it slopes down to zero despite it not being used...
Anyone got any ideas? It's really driving me insane!

Pace Sudden Battery Drain

Overnight my Pace dropped from 50% to zero. The battery is normally fine & it seems to be ok now but what could cause such a sudden drop ?
was it in direct liquid contact? showers ? pool?
No & it's seems ok now. It was a sudden overnight drop which is strange as usually, with the watch on DND, it hardly drops at all. I wonder if the screen stayed on ?

I spoke too soon. It's discharging faster than before the sudden drop.
Edit: Tried airplane mode & luckily it's clearly a software problem
I think I found it. I just looked at the watch & there was a custom Amazmod notification from half an hour ago still on the screen. The battery graph verifies it.

Tether breaking

I use WPA-3 Personal, 5.0 GHz, identification as portable hotspot.
None of the settings change anything with the issue I'm having, the issue is, that very often when I connect to the network on my PC and do any amount of traffic (send around 1mb of data), my pc shows that I disconnect from the WiFi, but phone shows that pc is still connected, trying to connect on PC back to the WiFi it just said could not connect, and only fix is keep trying changing random settings that automatically turn off/on the hotspot, it never fixes if turning it off manually, nor does restarting the phone itself. Been happening since day 1, there's a lot more weird issues but that's another few hundred words to type and they seem to not happen atm.
Want to say that, it just happened while typing that too
