his complaint though is that wifi is using battery when off, not when it's on. Issue below:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=81188
Go in settings / wifi / advanced options and untick Network notif and Always available Search (not sure it's exactly named as it since i use french settings)
After that wait about few minutes and check wifi usage as you done before to make screenshot

its still not fixed in 5.1. nor is the memory leak. God is google slow in bug fixes...
Wait.. what theme did you install to make the status bar with that color?
sorry for being off-topic but I'm curious.

I tried 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 and they both do the same thing. Whenever I am in Airplane mode wifi will not turn on. I press the button and it just freezes in the on position and then nothing happens. Never had this problem on any other rom. Any Suggestions?

This is default Samsung settings and cannot be changed at this time.

Does that only apply to EB13? DK28 and DI18 never had this problem. The only reason I ask is because I live in an area where I get no service and my battery drains 3x as fast if I dont have Airplane mode on.

I never tested it much in previous versions, but I can confirm it occurs across EB13. The setting is tweakable at a low level - and I question why Samsung didn't include it in Settings, and why even Spare Parts doesn't tweak it.

Thanks for the feedback k0nane, Im overseas right now so anything but airplane mode is an instant battery drain if I want to use Wifi. I figured this was Samsung's fault now I know. Here's to hoping EC05 fixes it, though I have my doubts.
Given that your aware of it, do you think it is something you guys (the awesome Devs) will be able to fix with time?

Yes. Thereotically, it's as simple as a settings.db change - I'm looking at it for 1.1.0.

Cool, Your my hero! Thanks again for your awesome work.
You might be able to toggle it under the testing mode (dial settings).
if I remember correctly it is something like:
#*INFO##4444# might be able to shut off all cellular connections, but still keep wifi and gps open.

That would be absolutely perfect. This is the only problem I am having with your Rom. If its fixed I will definately donate to the cause. Your Rom is by far the smoothest, fastest one out.

This did seem to work, the correct code is *#INFO*1111#
Under the Phone info menu I turned off the radio. Now I can be out of airplane mode but don't seem to be losing any battery to cell standby, only display and phone idle.
Thanks for the suggestion, this will get me by for the week. Im out of thanks for the day but I owe you one =)
Edit: Thanked you properly
Similar Issue
Im having a similar issue with this Rom.
Thats if were both talking about Syndicate Frozen Rom.
I have version 1.1.0 (newest)
My problem is that my wifi is not working it times out and never enables itself.
Another problem im having is I like the stock clocks app and the memo but cant seem to figure out how to re-install them.
Ive looked all over the forum and nobodys strategies are working for me.
Please give me advice on whats the best option that works for most people on how to re-install these apps.
Wifi is a constant love to have on my phone, i need it working like ASAP, please help.
Hello,
After updating from CM9 to CM10 I started facing wifi issue. My phone works normally for 1-3 days, and then wifi stops working. If I go to wifi settings, it says "Searching for Wi-Fi Networks". Also, wifi cannot be turned off. After reboot wifi operates normally for some time until this glitch happens again.
I thought it was CM-related issue, but some people say they have faced this issue even with stock JB.
Do you have this issue? How can it be fixed?

No idea on how to fix it, i have it too.
It's not happening too frequently to bother me.
Is there ; Support connect to wireless network by QSS (Quick Security Setup)??
for this build patch?
I have this exact same problem on CM10. I did a full wipe and the problem remains
I will keep searching for a solution, but I really hope someone can tell us more information as to what the cause might be.

Hello people,
I have a new Huawei Ascend P6 and have some problems with WiFi. WiFi works fine but if the phone is standby for a few hours or when i come back home, WiFi not seems to connect. WiFi is on, but will only connect when i turn WiFi off and on.
I have tried this app: Advanced Wifi Lock (Free) but not seems to work.
Is there someone can help me out with this one?

Same thing here- wifi disconnects after while, when phone is standby...No matter of power profile or wifi settings- sooner or later it turns wifi off. Can't use therefore "Profile Flow" wifi based features ( turn BT off, when at home wifi). I keeps turning BT on/off in some period of time, I can see it in Profile Flow history...As soon as I take the phone and unlock the screen, the BT is on again, then wifi connects and BT goes off...
It happens to my phone too.. I guess you can't fix it unless there is some app that can fix this but my guess is that its saving battery life on our android phones..

The power manager should be on "normal" mode. "Smart" mode would instead turn off iinternet on screen off. Also in wifi settings, make sure it set proper.

same wifi problem here using the ascend mate
it is my first huawei and maby my last one
stupid wifi problem
Isn't this an Android problem, instead of Huawei's?
WiFi disconnection during deep sleep is an Android problem, since God knows when.
That's why there are apps (such as REGPON wifi KeepAlive) out there to ping websites to "warm" the connection, at the expense of battery.
I programmed a macro using E-Robot to do this. My connection never drops. Mine is B111.

How do you install firmware B132 ? I have tried all possible ways to keep wifi always on but it does not work. It will be my first and last huawei. They put money in advertisement. the phone even does not work with screen off.

I updated to 4.4.2 yesterday. And since then the Wifi turns off automatically after a few minutes when phone goes to sleep
I checked the wifi settings>Keep wifi on during sleep with both "always" and "never"
the problem still persists
Is anyone else facing a similar issue or am i missing something in the settings
Your help would be appreciated
Thanks

Welcome to the club, mate! For me, wifi has almost never worked as it should.
Mostly, it works just fine until the phone goes to sleep for a few minutes. Then
the speed is reduced to around 1-2 Mbit/s, & the only way to restore the speed
is to turn wifi off & then turn it on again. After doing that, everything's Hunky Dory
until the phone goes to sleep again. Then the story repeats itself....
I've almost given up on Samsung by now, since they seem totally unable (unwilling?)
to fix this widely experienced issue. Also, their update scheme for this "flag ship" (?)
suck big time, at least for us wanting the "NEE" version of KK4.4.2....
And btw, this phone also seems unable to record both sides of a conversation
when using a BT headset. That's NOT ok in 2014, Sammy! You've got my
money once, but you've made sure that I won't do the same mistake twice.

Has anybody found a solution to this, I can't download anything in sleep mode, tried all wifi settings, is it just 4.4.2?
Hi , is not the best solution but you can try Juice defender to automatically turn wifi on when phone wakes.
I'm on dr Ketan V14 rom and wifi works fine.
I hope that can help you.
I realize that this is an old thread.... amazing how they just peter out with no real solution.
N7100, stock ROM, Rooted, and have Xposed Deep deep wifi sleep activated.
This happens about 90% of the time coming out of sleep, even the wifi quick setting is un-illuminated so have to turn it back on. When phone is shut down and then restarted, it happens 100% of the time, even after a full re-install of the ROM, 4.4.2.
I've stopped worrying about it.
