wifi battery drain - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

hi,
my gnote2 is new and I have a big issue with it.
I'm running android 4,1,1 all apps are stock.
With data enable everything is ok but with wifi a can clearly see a big battery drain. I read that it could be a router issue so I tried to change my network number I switched from 10 to 1. It fixed the problem !!! BUT unfortunately I switched of the wifi last night and switch it on this morning ... the battery drain re start like before.
Is there a way to solve this big issue ==,
thanks for your help

Hello guys,

i just charged it again 1 hour ago and now it is down to 90% already without any usage....
there's no problem with my 838pro yesterday,then suddenly after i charged it this morning it suddenly draining very quickly 100% at 9.30 am and down to 10% at 3.00pm (without any usage) after that i charged it again and it already down to 90% in 1 hour without any usage, bt off wifi off. i didn't install any new program or any plugin.it makes me so confuse and desperate my phone just 1,5 months old and already got defective battery??
pls some one help me
thanks a lot.
is bluetooth and or wifi on ?
nope. bluetooth is off wifi is off. usually with bluetooth on i get around 2-3 days of battery life until this morning.
soft reset to make sure there arent any dying apps running at the background.
i already did the soft reset at 90% and now it already down to 80%.i just see it a few hours again,will it remain 80% or will be down again....
so desperate
70% already.. without any usage,no running programs,bt off,wifi off.don't know what happend
is there any recommendation where i can get extended battery?i already give up.don't know what happend.last thing i'll try is to recover with spb back up.
already tried to hard reset.but doesn't effect anything,the battery keep draining very fast.so i guess this is a hardware problem.any help guys??
thanks a lot.
Is your Infrared on? Have you installed or activated a email program to check often for your email or a push email program? Or have you installed a app to update or check weather/news? Or any other proggy that needs communications to update? Soft resetting with a program set to communicate will not turn it off. Also, do you have a low signal strength as opposed to before? Have you changed the band setting under the phone options? Or are you using a different service(3G and not GSM) now that you weren't using before? Has syncing options been changed to wireless? Don't know if any of these helped. Just some of the things I've seen others do and become surprised at the battery usage.

nope i don't run any application above.i'm using 3G service since the first day i bought it and it doesn't effect the battery life.i just sent it the 838pro back to the distributor this afternoon waiting for their explanation and hopefully will solve my problem cause i think it's a hardware problem cause i already done hard reset and still the battery keep draining
YEAH my battery has been drainging faster too
noticed wifi on = fast drain.
Turned it off, it's not draining as fast, but still faster then yesturday
the only difference was, yesturday was tmobile default rom. today is auk3.3 one
Does Edge Drain Faster Then Gsps?
Try this
I had the same problem. (actually do again and won't fix this time - my original and extended but they're both pretty old). But I was able to fix it before by running battery totally dead. keep soft resetting til doesn't come on and try soft reset a few more times. Make sure battery completely dead and its 'charge memory' erased. then let it fully charge. Was recommended to me and it worked at one time. If your battery is new like you sa it might work.
thanks a lot for the suggestions... i got a replacement battery from the distributors... thanks GOD...

IMS Service all of a sudden killing battery

I noticed recently that IMS Service has started using up as much battery as my display. It wasnt like this a couple weeks ago.
I recently upgraded to Juggs 5 and installed AirDroid. I assumed AirDroid was causing the problem so i removed it but IMS continues to drain my battery. Do any of you have any idea what might be going on?

I've seen this happen... you pull the battery and restart the phone? I believe the IMS service (needed for Wifi calling) gets hung up sometimes, you can try to force stop it but other things stop functioning, atleast in stock they do.

[ROOTED] [NOKIA XL] [STOCK ROM WITH GOOGLE SERVICES]Battery calibration issue.

I'm using rooted Nokia XL and had installed InitailL-Rom and was facing the WiFi and WiFi hotspot problem. After I have fixed the hotspot issue on my Nokia XL by flashing stock rom using Nokia Care Suite, everything is working well only except the battery consumption has been awful. And this problem started all of sudden out of nowhere. Before fixing the WiFi issues my battery was working well and right after I fixed it this problem started. I'm not saying that there's some problem with the WiFi-fix. I actually dont understand what the problem is and just asking if somebody could help me either understand it and/or help to solve it, just in case. So here is some brief description of how I'm looking at this problem.
Now, I dont know what could have caused this, but "Cell Standby" contributes about 50% or more of the battery consumption. I re-flashed the rom a several times just to make sure the flash was proper and not dirty.
I looked it up on google and found out that its kind of a problem for many and also that its about how the phone maintains the network and tried the first-hand solutions like keeping my data service off and etc etc.
But even though still the battery would last only for 6 hrs with no usage, 2.5 hrs when playing videos, which I guess are really awful stats. My battery's health is good and I've even tried a ton of recalibration apps and methods for like over the last whole month but nothing seems to work out. My phone dies unexpectedly at around 20-40% of the battery remaining. When I try to turn it back on, it doesnt turn on unless plugged into charging. Immediately after plugging into charging and switching it on; the battery bar is half filled or sometimes even more than that. Any ideas and/or help would be great.

qcom_rx_wakelock on University WiFi Causing Android OS/Kernel Battery Drain

When I got my OP3 I noticed that my battery wasn't quite as good as some had been reporting and that there was a lot of drain going on while the phone was off. After a while I started to notice that I was having bad wakelocks only when I was on any WiFi network on campus. When I went home for Thanksgiving, this battery drain was completely eliminated and I was easily getting 6+ hours of SOT which is almost double what I was getting. Once I came back to school, the battery drain came back. I did some research and everything seemed to point to the qcom_rx_wakelock which seems to be an issue on many school/work networks. I ran Wakelock Detector while on WiFi and this confirmed that qcom_rx_wakelock is the cause of the drain.
I am on version 3.2.8 and completely stock and I would like to keep it that way. This wakelock is an issue on the network's end and from the sound of things there aren't really any software fixes that I could do. I've read that most battery saving fixes such as using Amplify or flashing a different kernel don't help anyways. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could stop this? Are there any changes to the network that the school could make to alleviate this issue? I doubt they would listen but it's worth a try. Or are there any other things I could try?
Also, I should mention that I tried the simple fix of turning off the setting "Keep WiFi on During Sleep" which prevented me from reconnecting to the WiFi even when I turned the phone back on. The only way I could reconnect to the network was rebooting my device.
same with me.
i open qq in background. if i connect to the college wifi, screen off wake time is up to 50%;if i connect to my router,it's about 12%.. BTW,i use betterbatterystates to see my wake time.
Flash Franco Kernal, it has this WiFi wake lock fix.

I'm having the same problem but what's new for me is that I'm connecting to the same router from last week I'm facing this issue on any ROM but IDK how can this happen bc my router are same as before it used to work fine before.
I guess it a hardware fault?

Wifi drain battery

I have a problem with wifi. In battery stats wifi has more consumption as screen.
I never seen it on any other android smartphone in my house.
Somebody with this behavior? I am using latest stock.
Check Location>Wifi Scanning
any other idea
thx, i disable scanning in location, reboot, after week still wifi 1st in battery consumption, it's not big problem, battery life on this phone is excellent, but can be better
It's a wrong report from Android, your WiFi is not draining your battery (a few of us have the same problem, me included). I don't know where it comes from but you can just ignore it (there's no real way to fix the issue I'm afraid)
Mine was doing the same - and I use Chrome a lot for web surfing
Disable Location permissions in Chrome (Settings->Apps->Chrome->Permissions->Location Off)
ok, i just ignoring it, not big deal, battery life is fine, i just was wondering if can be even better everybody know android is quite tricky
Some screenshots would be great, so people can help.
That's the kind of problem he is having, which is just a bug from Android ?

I hope you have your WiFi scanning and WiFi network notification off.
I faced same problem in the starting.
I switched above settings off and cleared cache and then switched off WiFi and restated phone.
Now it is gone. Hope it helps.

Everything has been off for a while, the "problem" appeared afterwards but I personally don't mind, I know that's just a bug

Are you guys only seeing this reporting when wifi is on but not connected? Or all the time?
Only had the device 2 days, but no sign of it for me - wifi on, background scanning and network notification also on. Only been out of wifi coverage for a few hours though.

It's when the WiFi is on (connected or not).
OK, some say it's a bug, others say it's no biggie since the large battery, but.... I used to get home after a 12 hr days work, and have 4-5 hrs sot and still 20-30% left. Now I need to keep the phone charged, because it's down to 10 % halfway... That IS a BIGGIE.... And for those who say it's just a stats thingie, well, if this thingie shows 0%: your phone WILL shut down!
Ive tried ALL tips, NOTHING works. Period. What bugs me most is that I don't know why! I turned off scanning, cleared cache, reboot, etc, heck, I even did multiple factory resets, NO GO on any of those!
Believe me I'm happy for those that have solved the issue, but this should have never happened.
After consulting Motorola's customer services I was advised to send it back for repair, and so I did. I need to get it back still, but if this really is a bug, than:
SHAME ON YOU MOTOROLA/LENOVO.
You need to fix this asap, because it really IS a BIGGIE!
Even when it was disabled all the time.
you have to disable location scanning for bluetooth and wifi. I've had the same issue. I also dont use high accuracy location. I use device only to save battery and prevent wifi from turning on. It drains crap ton of battery.
Yea! I had also disabled it and made one thread for this so let other knows the solution.
