Why don't you want to keep it at never?
I had that same prob on my hero. Might be an android thing?
At any rate, you want it on never.

Id like it to switch off if I happen to be not using my phone for a bit. After a few hours of leaving it sitting, and its still connected to that wifi connection, it kinda hurts the battery.

Actually your 3g radio uses more battery than wifi unless your wifi signal is weak and your 3g signal is strong.

I know this might sound weird, because i know some people have issues with not being able to connect to Wifi in the past, but for me, as of last night, my wifi is constantly on! I mean like the arrows are constantly connecting and im not surfing the web, im not syncing anything either, and when i turn it off, the mobile data isnt doing the same thing, so its leading me to believe something is wrong with my wifi! i assume its going to drain my battery too since its constantly connecting to something while my phones sleeping

post a screenshot of it
I am looking to buy the Nitro HD for WiFi only use and maybe occasional prepaid use. I will flash to some deodexed ROM or maybe CM9 so I am not so concerned about software issues in the stock ROM.
What I am more concerned about is - how are the cameras for Skype/Google Video etc?
Any way to turn off all radios except WiFi by default everytime the phone starts up?
Thanks.
^^bump^^
I'll chime in here, I use mine as a wifi only device. As far as Skype/google video goes, video calls are great. I don't have a Sim card in mine and the mobile settings are greyed out which I'm assuming the cellular is off.
I'm currently running the latest cm9 nightlies and the device keeps getting better and better.
Battery life is definitely better than gingerbread. Battery life is within reason for a device this powerful while on wifi. The only battery drain I've found is being out of range of a wifi area. It seems the device goes on over drive looking for wifi and within an hour, majority of your battery is dead. This might be a CM9 issue, I'm not sure on that. Just remember to turn off your wifi when out and about.
Thanks for the response. I got myself a used one for $200 today off Craigslist. Will put leaked ICS ROM on it
Looks much sweeter than my iPhone 4S!!
UP！UP!
The super screen is eye candy. Using wifi it will last for 5-7 hours, while using 3g only for 2-3 hours.
For these two reasons, i often use it only as WIFI.
Will somebody introduce a super airplane mode without shutdown of WIFI？

Get dx battery saver, put it into sleep mode, then activate wifi.

You don't need any special app. Just enable airplane mode, then enable wifi.

oh,no, it is a two-click thing with a wifi interruption.

If there is /system/etc/settings.xml, modify it about what is airplane mode （this is, remove “wifi” in the lines of "airplane-mode" ）.

Don't forget reboots
Anyways, sold off my Nitro and moved on. Thanks for all the responses.
To start off with; i get good battery life; right now I'm at 1 day 3 hours and I have 39% left.
I was wondering however, does setting the Wifi to go off when the screen is off help significantly on the battery? And if so...is there some other negative issue that I'm not aware of if I set it this way?
I'm pretty sure any sort of data connection will use more of your battery than WiFi will. So if you're always around a strong WiFi connection you probably should leave it on at all times.

Oh that is funny.
I just do everything everyone else does:
1.) Screen off when not in use
2.) Screen brightness down as much as possible.
3.) Dark theme.
4.) Tasker profiles to turn off wifi when not near my house or work.
5.) Tasker profile to turn off GPS when not actively using certain apps.
6.) Tasker profile to turn off BT when not connected.
I also am probably a light user...the only thing that I do beyond normal phone use is to watch Netflix a slight bit a day and stream Spotify a bit.
I also don't play games except Words with friends.
No FB no locations, no nothing like that.
Wifi off and data off would be most helping when screen off

I can't say exactly when I noticed this, but it was at least since the CM10 stable, and I've tried a couple nightlies since then. Wifi never seems to turn off according to the battery chart, which I believe because I get somewhat worse battery life now. Had anyone else seen this, or have any suggestions?
Turn off WiFi when not needed. Also, WiFi can save your battery vs a weak signal

Well, I'm doing that manually now, but that's not a solution to the fact that it never goes into standby mode when not associated with an AP.
did you go into settings--wifi--menu--advanced and select keep wifi on during sleep only when plugged in?

No. I prefer it to stay on wifi when there's good signal, so I have only use good wifi connections set, but not to put wifi to sleep. Regardless of that, wifi should be in standby mode when not actively associated with an AP, such as when in the car or anywhere you haven't told it to remember the APs around you.
Guys the battery on my s6 edge has been draining just by sitting here. Anyone else having this issue?

Yeah I've been seeing some serious battery drain. Way more than I'd expect with the battery size. Not sure what's going on.
Turning on your Wifi will kill your battery. I've had to restart my phone to make it stop sometimes. Makes me wonder if this is why the nexus skipped 5.0.2.
That may very well be the reason why nexus skipped it. Juding by the previous samsung record, it will be a while till we get 5.1

Did you have Wifi on at any point since your last restart? I've had to reboot the device to fix it.
Try turning off volte. That seems to help.

This is what i hate so much... you pay ridiculous amount of money to buy a "Smartphone" but then you have to turn all these features of to make it work efficiently.
I'm sure it's just a software bug on T-Mobile, but I was able to fix my issue by turning off WiFi, completely charging the phone, and restarting. WiFi is what causes it, not sure why though.

Go to settings and search for "Phone" from there you can get into call settings.
google services for me is using the most battery, which doesn't make sense.

Did you also disable the "wifi during sleep" that is used even if wifi is off? Can't remember where it is. Maybe advanced Wifi or in Location settings. Just curious. Thanks!

Gotcha. I was curious but also sort of pointing out that even with Wifi turned off, the phone will still use Wifi for location unless you specifically disable that option. It may or may not make any difference at all, but since there's a bug then it's possible that ANY use of wifi is draining more than it should (even if it's just intermittently every few minutes for location checking).

If the WiFi being used during sleep is causing any issues, the issue is small enough that it is not showing up on my battery usage page.

Well for example. I have had Wifi turned off since before unplugging my phone this morning (8 hours ago). Despite that, it has been used for 29 minutes because I didn't have that option (use wifi for location even when it's off) disabled.
Because of this, I'm disabling that location feature as well for now. I bet that's about 30 minutes my phone has been held "awake" due to this stupid bug!

If it's causing issues for you then turn it off. For me it wasn't enough of an issue to disable WiFi during sleep.

if you go to call options in the settings menu or you can go to the oem dialer and click on more in the upper right hand corner of the screen the option for it should be under setting in that drop down menu
