I've been try to extend the life of my battery, and one of the things I have done is set the SETTINGS/WIFI/ADVANCED "keep WIFI on during sleep" to "never".
I make this change, but most times when I go back into the settings later on, it's changed back to "Always"
Anybody offer a clue as to why this might be happening?
Thanks.

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.

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.

So it is normal that if i choose Never in wifi sleep policy phone, i find the wifi always on in battery stats? This question is not so clear...
Is there any explanation of wifi toggles by author... Google?

I'm not so sure if you will see wifi in the battery stats as I think wifi processes are part of the Android system in settings >battery.

I use the app keep Wifi alive. It pings my server to ensure I don't lose a connection. I the only thing I see missing with it is that my email sync stops until I go to mobile data.

Hello everyone,
I have big problems with battery drain! When I look into battery in settings I see Android OS causing huge battery drain. I am on stock Ics, tried many things - rooting, changing kernel, uninstalling bloatware with Titanium, changing baseband ... Nothing seems to help! I've realized that Android OS is active while WiFi on... When I switch off WiFi, battery life gets very good (or normal) and Android OS stop draining the battery.
Does somebody have same issue or knows THE solution? Except putting CM9 or other non stock Rom, would like ti keep Sony's Rom.
P.s. My girlfriend's Xperia Ray has the exact same problem!?!

Yeah that's probably syncing problems. But just in case get BetterBatteryStats, let it run for a few hours and post me the logs.

WiFi on always eats far more battery than WiFi off.
If you've turned off all synchronizations already then it's just purely the constant search for the WiFi network and back and forth polling needed to maintain the connection being handled by the Android OS that's eating your battery and I'm afraid that would be perfectly normal then and not something one can fix.

Of course, but as you can see in the post above, what is strange is that when I was out of home (the first 3 hours) with wifi on the battery was doing fine even that the phone was probably searching networks all the time, and since I returned home (last 3-4h) the battery drain started again...
Shouldn't it be opposite? When connected to home wifi it should stop searching for it. So it's probably a sync problem, but whatever I don (Sync on or off) it's the same...
Could also be a clash with your router.....
Try changing channel see if that helps, if not you may be stuck with it or go back to gb

Get BetterBatteryStats somewhere from XDA (google it) start the app, leave your phone for a few hours and then go back into the app, press the settings key on your phone and choose dump to file. A .txt file will appear in the root of your sd card, attach the file to a post. Hope I can help

here it is, but seems have worked only 7h, while I was not home connected to Wi-Fi , so I'll post once more tomorrow...
Well judging by this it might actually be normal for android os to consume as much battery, because you haven't really used your phone much. The battery drain you are seeing on the battery settings is simply android os is draining the most out of your phone relative to other processes using much less.

Thanks to everybody, especially @mpiekp! Finally it seems that Wi-Fi router channel was the problem, since I changed it Android OS stopped, I can see in battery stats that it wasn't active since. The same for my girlfriend's Xperia Ray!
I'll be checking it from time to time in the next couple of days, just to be sure...
I love XDA!

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 have deleted the Facebook app so there is no need for that. However, I deactivated auto sync for contacts (I left it on for calendar, Gmail, Drive and Chrome). I don't see the auto sync settings for Maps. (?)

I turned it off now to see if it works. However, my friend has also got Galaxy S3 with Location turned on and he isn't experiencing any battery drain (but that could be because he hasn't got the same apps as me).

BBS = BetterBatteryStats.
It's an app which displays wakelocks. Widely used to resolve phone wake problems.

I'll try to find that thread (could you please link it if it's not a problem.
I've been using BBS for quite some time actually, but I was unable to detect the problem. I've also been using GSam Battery. But what I've noticed is that this drain happens when I'm connected to a Wi-Fi network or at least it's bigger then.
Maybe Google's location service can be a problem even though the GPS is OFF

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.

Hello.
I usually don't post here because I get my problem solved by myself. But for this one I have no idea what could cause the drain to be that big? The only thing I suspect is that Quick Search (Google bar) from the Nova Launcher? Could I be right? I've attached the dumpfile here plus the pictures of BBS for the first run.

After I've tested another night with the persistent search bar from Nova launcher diabled, I still get the same drain with the same process. I'm puzzled right now. I haven't updated picture this time becasue they looked almost the same as the 1st time. Here's the dump file tho

In your list of alarms, you will see the major players in battery drain.
The big ones here are facebook & messenger. Greenify those two and it will fix your problems.
Source: i've 6% battery drain overnight.
Could it be related to the fact that I have received notifications on them? And 50% battery drain because of that? I wouldn't believe my eye. Is it normal? Never greenified apps in my life and didn't have that problem
Edit : what about the quicksearch?

My S6 edge is quickly becoming unusable... I'm losing 20% - 30% per hour when not charging and the biggest offender is cell standby, not screen on. I've contacted T-Mobile for a replacement. It will also heat up to the point that it throttles the CPU resulting in lags of 3+ seconds from screen taps.

Hey Jason,
That cell phone stand by is a issue that had already been resolved by removing the 'calling over wifi' or 'Enhanced 4G LTE '. If on ATT go to "Settings > Connections(TAB) > Mobile Networks > Mobile Data > Enhanced 4G LTE Services (uncheck it). If on another carrier go to the Dialer tap MORE up top and Settings. That should take care of battery and crappy signal.

Check out some of your wifi settings under advanced . Uncheck 'Network notification', 'Passpoint', 'Always allow scanning' , and 'Auto connect'. That should be it for wifi settings now if you have already done it let me know . I will dig in to it.
That IS with WiFi calling disabled. And smart network switching disabled.
