Hi, I have updated my GNEX with the full system image and now, whith the wifi suspension selected as 'Turn off wifi when screen off', the wifi doesn´t go off when the screen is off, like it did with the 4.0.2.
¿Someone noticed that?
You are correct, I'm also having this issue in the battery stats display, however, I'm not sure if this is a report fault to the battery stats or actually a fault with the wifi actually not turning off at sleep. Try searching http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list for the issue. If not, report it there.
EDIT: Opened a new issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=28158&thanks=28158&ts=1333358894
Please star if you have this issue.

This is normal. Wifi will go off 15 minutes after the screen is turned off, no matter if there's traffic or not. The phone also won't suspend before that timeout.
As for battery stats, I think it reports when wifi is turned on (the switch in the settings) instead of if it's actually connected or not.

The first night I left my Gnex on all the night, and when I woke up, I saw the battery stats and wifi was off around 10% of the time, and on the other 90%. So, the battery stats doesn´t report the status of the switch...

The battery stat display should show gaps in the wifi bar when it is turned off, that's the whole point. It was like that in 4.0.2.
I've come to the conclusion that the fault is in the reporting to the batterystats. My wifi actually turns off when in sleep, but it doesn't show up in the battery stats display.

How do you know your wifi is turning off when in sleep?

Well, mainly because it's not connected when I wake the device up again. I've checked this with my router.
Since yesterday, all of a sudden, having this weird issue. Wifi is continuously draining battery although it's actually switched Off. Rebooting didnt help. Safe mode didnt help.
In wifi settings, 'Keep wi-fi on during sleep' is set to Never.
In location settings, wifi scanning is turned off.
Didnt make any changes in the past few days. Non-rooted, stock (MTC19V).
Anyone, please HELP.
Ignore

Disable wifi scanning (search "scan" in system)
It's not draining your battery, your battery stats look great.

I already wrote it, scan is turned off.
It appears i am just UNABLE TO TURN OFF WiFi..
Android is a strange fella..
Even the smallest person (object) can change the course of the future..
Forced stopped Clock app and Wifi finally agreed to give up.
It's back to normal after 3 days of agony.
Possibly its just a batterystats issue bro
Try deleting batterystats.bin from root
It may help
So I have an HTC 10 and I generally like this device but I have a few problems though. Wondering if anyone can help me out.
1. I have extremely high battery drain while using WiFi. Like 1% every minute or two. If I go to sleep leaving the WiFi turned on I may lose 10 to 15% battery life which feels like quite a lot.
2. The battery history graph always displays WiFi as turned on no matter if I turned it on or off. It's basically a solid green line. Does anyone else have this problem or know of any solutions?
Thanks for helping!

There's a few threads about Wi-Fi issues. I have bad drain as well along with many others.
Here is a main one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/wifi-constant-suspend-resume-leading-to-t3392562
Check if Wi-Fi scanning is turned on in Wi-Fi setting and turn that off. It keeps Wi-Fi active even when Wi-Fi is off.

Thanks a lot for helping. I cannot find the WiFi scanning setting though. I checked in Settings > WiFi > Advanced WiFi. Nothing there.

I've got a brand new unlocked Moto Z play with the Offgrid battery mod. This morning I was disappointed to see my wifi, despite being disabled, had nearly drained my battery mod. I have the wifi configured to only maintain a connection while asleep and plugged in. The toggle for background location via wifi is absent from the advanced wifi menu.
Why is my wifi constantly on, despite it being toggled off?
I've attached a screen shot of the battery screen.
Edit: found the wifi scanning toggle in locations. I've just switched that off.

That's strange. Android Marshmallow comes with Doze functionality, and if the user is not using or moving the phone, it cuts down all background app activity that may eventually drain your phone, thus preserving your battery. You'll still receive notification about emails, and messages in social apps, as they're considered priority, if I'm not mistaken.
I'd say the source of your mod losing battery is your cellular reception. By the print you've posted, the Cellular Network Signal bar is most of the time red, orange or yellow. Poor cellular coverage eats up your battery.
I thank you for saving me the trouble of creating this thread, also did turning off the wifi scanning help?
keep wifi during sleep?
Wi-Fi has been switched off most of the day, wifi location scanning is disabled, and wifi connections while asleep are set to never. Still, it's almost ALWAYS on. Even when my ATT connection is strong it's still sucking down my battery. Wi-Fi remains my largest drain. Larger than cell standby, play services, and the screen.
Edit, looking at my images again, it appears my Z Play is treating the battery mod as a charger. Once the main battery drops to 80% and it switches to the mod battery, the wifi never turns off (despite my settings).
I also have similar problem with my moto z play. I haven't used wifi but still showing top ahead of others. Pls help to resolve this issue.
I had a Moto X Play before for a good while. this problem also showed up there (on Marshmallow as well), but I did find out my battery did not actually get drained, it was a reporting error in Android.
I am not sure if that is the case here with you, is the total battery life definitely lower or is it hard to tell?
Battery is still good but it could be better without the wifi drain. Mine is also more than the total energy the screen consumes and I have battery saver on with wifi location scanning off and wifi on only while plugged in. Not sure what would cause this.
Well, this is interesting. Flew to Boston today around 8:30, and as you can see, toggling airplane mode for the relatively short duration of my flight seems to have fixed my wifi drain. Although the phone did reboot in my pocket around 1530. At the time of this screenshot my internal battery is at 80%, and the battery mod is at 55% with only ~2.5 hours screen on time.
Out of curiosity, when you go into settings>location>3 dot menu>scanning, is wifi scanning turned on or off? Not sure about exact menu location as I don't have a Moto Z play, so working off a custom ROM on my Moto E2. Not sure if it would make a difference, but....
Wi-Fi location scanning is disabled.
Interesting, 24 hours after my flight (both legs visible in the chart) I'm showing no more wifi drain. This is with ~3.75 hours SOT. I am disappointed to see the Offgrid mod lost ~30% over night though. I'll still easily get 2 full days out of one charge, but I was hoping for 3-4. Hopefully Nougat's improved doze helps.
I am thinking my phone is also suffering from the same issue. Take look at my other post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69486349&postcount=77
Mine is even worse. Even when i activate the airplane mode, wifi does not turn off. It is open literally 24 hours. Seems like it drains the battery but I still have 9-10 Hours of SOT, depending on usage this can go up to 13-14 hours.

Didn't work for me, but I stopped caring. I computed total power usage, wifi does not seem to have that portion
Guys, you must confirm if the WiFi actually drains that amount of power. 8/10 times it is a reporting error in Marshmallow, experienced it myself as well. Gsam battery monitor could tell you more.
This solution is for the MotoZ, a similar issue, maybe it could help us a little

Hi, I bought 2 same devices (A52s 5G) for my parents. Problem is with just 1 device (they are set up absolutely the same). The problem is with overnight battery drain. I suspect WiFi is the soruce of the problem, because our WiFi router is set to power of Wifi transmission overnight for 6 hours and turn it on automatically in the morning. The problem is - if I don´t turn WiFi off on the affected device, it eats up 15 percent in 6 hours. On the second device there´s no such problem. WiFi could stay on and in the morning the percentage is down by 1-2 % which I think is perfectly normal since the device is still powered on. Percentage graph shows absolutely nothing in app consumption. For example i fully charge it in the evening and in the morning there is 85 % battery left and battery stats shows screen on: 0 minutes, screen off: 8 hours, no apps used. I think the affected device has problem with searching for WiFi and it want to connect all the time to the router? I would really appreciate your suggestions . Thanks
I'd wipe cache then run device care/optimize.
At night try this. Turn off Wifi, Location. and Bluetooth if enabled along with data.. I do this every night before bed.. When I wake up in the morning i usually have 97% left if it is not on the charger.. When I take it off, and go to work with 100%. It will stay at 100% for up to 3-4 hrs if I leave all mentioned still off.

Yes, if I turn WiFi off, it loses just about 2 percent at night. But if WiFi stays on (parents forget to turn it off in the evening, you know) and it can't connect because my router powers off automatically night, it loses 15 percent, which I think is crazy, isn't it? Can you please try this situation? Would be really grateful

It is losing that much, because the wifi is constantly looking for a connection... Keep it on at night and see what happens...

But you have to turn off your WiFi router, thank you! I tried it on my S21 Ultra, and I lost 3 percent overnight, big difference, right?
Something is quite tricky here , you have 2 same phones with same identical settings and one of them loose over night lot of battery ?
In my humble opinion if you're sure about it there can be only a faulty phone

This night I put both phones next to each other, same scenario, before going to bed at 100%. This morning one shows 86 and second one shows 87 percent. Battery stats shows nothing used as usual. So it is problem of both phones, new discovery
Ok , I understand ... There are several settings (look for it) which can save battery over night . 15% battery drain overnight is overall quite too much . My phone , debloated , set with right choices , with moderate use have enough battery for almost 3 days .
What does it mean right choices? Phones are debloated, set with right choices, only thing if parents forget turn off WiFi before bed, in the morning they have 15 percent less battery. So WiFi searching must be culprit. Because WiFi router shuts itself down automatically in the evening. Can someone please confirm that if you leave WiFi ON in phone and turn WiFi router OFF, if you have that much battery drain overnight? Keep everything else off in phone, except WiFi. Thank you
Any recommended debloat/setting guides for the newcomers?
My phone started the same few days ago. I just updtated everything now, will wipe cache, turn off wifi and see what it does overnight.
Turn off 5G, keep only 4G/LTE. This improved my battery life a lot.
I don't have this device so I'm not sure if this works, but Wi-Fi advanced settings should have an option to turn off automatic scanning for Wi-Fi. Try turning that off
I always find always on display feature draining my battery excessively. Try turning it off and see if theres a difference

They don't use always on. Anyone who is able to try turning WiFi router OFF at night, but keep WiFi ON (in phone) please? That is the only thing which will tell us more...thanks.

Always on display is activated by default (default settings is "Tap to show") Unless you turn it off manually on the settings, it still is always on and drains that much battery as it needs to be always ready to be tapped. Not using it and not seeing Always on display text means it is off in the settings

As I said, always on display is turned OFF in both devices. WiFi is the problem, when it´s turned off in phone, it drains 1 percent (max.) at night, when forget to turn WiFi OFF, it drains 15 percent overnight, which I think is crazy.

That could be a problem in the conception of your apartment or your house and the material or furniture in between one of the phone and the wifi router. I have got such a problem but with bluetooth headset when going to the water closet (interference issue) in a temporary apartment when my main one has burnt... ^^ lol
So try to switch both phones at least once and see if the problem persists...

It has nothing to do with signal, if phone is connected all night (router stay ON), there is no drain. But when I turn router off (which I want to) and forget to turn WiFi OFF in phone, it drains 15 percent overnight. On both A52s phones. On my S21 Ultra there is zero drain overnight, I can calmly leave WiFi on and turn router off.
