Wifi always-on issue (check battery usage details) - Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
I noticed in battery details that Wifi looks always-on even if I switch it OFF often for example during last night or yesterday afternoon when I was out for working. As you can see the "scanning always available" is OFF.
Anybody with this problem?

Do you have location services turned on using Wi-Fi?

No, I have "Device only - Use GPS to determine your location"
But from battery chart looks like the wifi is really off ( only 1% of discharge during 7 hours of night sleep). Maybe is only an issue with battery stats indicator.

Might just be a bug. Mine is off and I have anything pertaining to Wi-Fi off that would cause it to sleep or use battery. When I switch back to my Z5P I will check the stats again. Currently it's feel like using my Nexus week lol

Ahahah OK thanks man

There you go gave it a couple hours to see if it is on. Initially it was on then I remembered to turn it off.

As you see in the red circle wifi went off at some point. It would be nice to discover which process is doing that.
Btw it's fun to note (green circle) that wifi seems working even if the phone is off with dead battery.

What killed my battery?

What the heck killed my battery? This is with the extended battery and I started from a full charge after flashing a new rom and clearing battery stats..
I turned off all connections, and turned off sync.. Sat the phone down and went to bed after about an hour of web surfing.. I went to bed with 70% left and woke up 6 hours later with 37%...

Its all in the last screenshot. Keep awake time is huge. That's the bug if I had to guess.

That keep awake time is normal, nothing strange there...
Your story of browseing for an hour then going to sleep for 6 hours doesnt match your batteries' graph.
According to your story, there should have been a sharp decline from browsing web since the screen would be sucking the power, then a very slight decline from being idle, something was either running in the background (facebook maybe, it has a high % of usage) who knows?
Yeah idk.. If you look at when wifi was on that was when I was browsing.. Then after that there is a steep decline which doesn't make sense to me.. I don't think it was Facebook or anything because all data/sync was off...
I know it takes a day or two for a new rom to settle in but I certainly wouldn't think it would have that large of an impact

I read somewhere that there is/was a bug where after a reboot Google talk or maybe google+ launches the camera in the background which keeps running until you manually open the camera app and close it. I believe I read it some where on Franco's kernel post. Not sure if the bug is still there and if it's the culprit here, but might be worth investigating.

Why is "phone" using so much battery?

I'm wondering why this is happening, I've only made like two phone calls today, is this normal cuz i don't remember ever seeing phone draining that much battery.

you were talking with screen on... so 2 hours of screen time with 1:50 of phone time is kind of normal.

No I was not talking at all, i made two quick phone calls and that's it, and phone had never showed up using that much battery. Anyway I flashed darkside cache wipe and that seemed to fix it

Hows your reception? I know if i dont turn on airplane mode while at work "Phone" shows up just like yours does. I realized its cause i would constantly go in and out of service and when im out of service it would stay awake and never sleep. Plus at my dads house, HSPA is really weak, so i either must force 2G or 3G in order for my "Phone" to stop chewing up battery.

Deep sleep issues

Sometimes I have noticed my phone does not deep sleep and runs continously at 200Mhz.. This happens randomly and I can't figure out what triggers it. I have checked BBM and there is no partial wakelock reported as well. So this is no app issue. When I go to my battery stats, the Android OS is the one keeping my phone awake for multiple hours on end. I have tried changing roms and kernels and I get the same problem once in a while. Is this a bug with the new 4.3 I update? It's important to note that this will happen randomly.. Some days it's fine other days it will start acting up... The only fix is to reboot.
Any ideas?

I believe that [pmp_hsic_pm0] thing is making his phone to stay awake.

Help me understand the battery graph.

The below screen shot shows approx 8 hours is this 8 hours since phone was removed from charger ? I think so just want to confirm.
Also the gap in network signal. I am assuming this means at some point for a certain amount of time my phone didn't have a signal ? If true this would be most odd as I have a cel fi signal booster in my home.
Thanks.

Yes you are correct the phone was on battery power and the signal was lost in the gap. Was it put in airplane mode. That would disconnect the mobile signal

No wi fi calling always off. Phone was also never put in airplane mode. So basically looks like my radio turns off sometimes.

There is another thread somewhere with people complaining about this happening to them, too. It happens to me, I think its a reporting bug in kitkat, mine shows big gaps too, but never has it not been connected to a tower.

Wifi shows in battery stats even with wifi off. Anyone see this?

When I check the battery stats(stock), the green bar is full next to wifi, even though it is off. Wondering if this is a true bug or just a reporting issue and wifi is really off. Here's a screenshot, wifi was off the entire time.

I have this prob too. Wifi is off scanning is off yet it still shows wifi is on in battery stats

It will show up even if you turn your phone off.
Probably the same visual glitch with the battery stats left over from Lollipop.
On my N5 with Lollipop I was able to confirm the WiFi was actually off and not using any battery during that time.
As a work around, if you disable WiFi while still connected to the WiFi network it will show properly as off. But just to confirm, it was a visual glitch only and WiFi was not actually on during that time.
