WiFi weirdness and (possible) cause of battery drain? - Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers

I've noticed some WiFi weirdness since I got my (vzw) 10. While watching a video in chrome, sometimes (usually right after a reboot) it'll play perfectly fine. Other occasions it'll have issues streaming, and when it pauses to buffer, it takes way longer than it should. Most of the time it completely freezes up chrome. Disconnecting from WiFi so it uses the data connection and it immediately resumes playing and has zero issues. Even occasionally while browsing the web, it'll just completely fail to load a page.
On a side note, I won't be able to confirm till tonight when I sleep and I leave it on disconnected from WiFi, but it seems to drain the battery. Obviously WiFi drains battery, but I'm talking crazy drain, 10-12% over 7 hrs.
Can anyone corroborate this happening to them? I'm thinking possibly firmware or ROM bug.

I have the wifi on during sleep only when plugged in and wifi stayed on all night, its a solid bar. I've barely used my phone since waking up and its already dropped 9%. I am seeing a drain issue and I can't find it.

So it seems like we have WiFi issues then. I'm curious, do you have a vzw 10 or no? Wondering if it's a vzw only issue.

Yeah VZW 10. I don't know if it is actually the wifi, but I had to charge 3 times yesterday. Everything drains the battery.

yeah lost 15% in a 6 hour night. wifi always on.

I'm not even sure myself but my battery drains at a rate of 1% every 10 minutes even on standby. I've disable auto-sync, and it helped slightly but it's still draining abnormally fast.

You guys with issues on drain are you on 5ghz radio or 2.4ghz.?

I've tried both, there doesn't seem to be a difference.

I'm on AT&T network. I lost 1% overnight over a 7+ hour period. I was quite impressed.

AU unlocked set, lost 10% throughout the night with WIFI on.

Anyone who has root (obviously not vzw yet) wanna do some testing and find what the drain cause is?

I still haven't been able to nail down a fix for WiFi being unusable sadly.

I have the same issue when it comes to battery drain on wifi. You guys could try and disable the following settings

Poor battery life after P6800XXLQ2 Flash.

I flashed P6800XXLQ2 everything is butter smooth and rock solid stable, but... it chews battery like crazy when it idles.
I had 30% batt, locked it and went to sleep. This morning I found it dead. If you look at the battery curve it always goes down at almost the same slope, does not matter you use it, or not.
EDIT
I tried wiping battery stats and disabling WiFi wile locked. Still the same.
I follow below suggestion and it seems to work.

I had the same issue having my WiFi off. I had to turn it On and then Tablet started working for days just as before
Turn on - for longer battery life, weird, but that works

So which of these I should chose?
Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep if you turn this off it’ll help extend your battery’s life when the device is put into sleep mode.

Always.
OH WOW! Last night I disabled WIFI & Mobile data and locked my device. It had 59% battery. Now it's 58%!!! After 10 hours. There are some serious problems with LQ2 power management.
It aways goes down this straight slope. Does not matter if I use my tab at all. But last night?
So phase 2 of my test, I will use WIFI only, and no mobile data.

some times this happened to me also ... and then I noticed because some application still active in the background eg game and youtube internet browser. even after I quit .
I did experience also my galaxy tab 7.7 was warm /hot ... this was because the game and internet browser still active in the background.
So after that I always "closed all applications" from "task manager" ... no more battery issue or warm /hot issue again.
OK I have disabled mobile data entire day and set to disable wifi when locked. My tab was almost unused all day and this happened.
IT IS WIFI RELATED!

Mysterious idle drain

Hello and thanks for reading ,
I am experiencing a very bad tablet battery life since November 2013.In these past month's i have visited forums, flash factory OS,turned off the radio(and wifi), installed many battery saving apps (didn't work), boot safe mode(drain still there), rubbed snake oil(really dangerous) and the battery still drains faster than a monsoon gutter.
Below is a screen shot of the tablet after I left it to idle for one night .

Any suggestions in solving of the problem are much appreciated and no ,i do not like 4.4.2 cause it breaks my FLAC playback (and still [email protected]% perhour)(currently running 4.3)
Thanks and regards shinra_co
I've got exactly the same problem; battery drains very quick even with airplane mode on. Tablet Idle is the culprit according to the power settings. I wonder what this means and how to solve this issue. can hardly use the tablet, i always need to recharge it.

Same here, and this just started a couple of days ago. Usually, with my usage pattern, I only needed to recharge once a week. Just over night this changed to nightly... Quite annoying.

Registering only to add my "me too" to this problem. The battery is depleted in a few hours (6 to 10) when the tablet is turned off, no sleeping, turned off, even after using the recovery menu option in order to force the power down. It is always lightly hot to the touch when it is automatically discharging, again when turned off.
This is my first Asus device and I am trying to request a refund, I don't want a new device, or a repaired one. I want my money back. I am not sure this will happen because it was bought on December, but this is not tolerable
5 Months in and various updates later (KK 4.4.4 KTU84P right now).
The battery still drain away @ 5.0 per hour minimum.
As per original post, I have still not been able to find the source of the drain.
wakelock detector, better battery stats and battery doctor have been of little help this past months.
Assuming it is not software related, what are the chances it is the hardware ie the battery itself being the culprit.
if so i think i'll wait for the rumored 8" nexus tablet.

For me that's bad. Uninstall facebook, eats your battery, use Facebook with a browser.

you cant say if its bad or not
1) you are using facebook - battery killer number one
2) you used spotify alot so you used a lot of mobile data - another big battery killer
3) is it with or without wifi all the time? cause signal is also another battery drain indicator if you are moving much during the day you will lose more battery cause your mobile phone change signal positon
i think its preety good for the setup with using spotify and facebook app - i got 1 1/2 hour with 50% left after a 12 hours without wifi and 6 hours without using the phone cause i am sleeping

I know about Facebook, may give the browser a go for a while! Regarding Spotify, 90% of my music is stored offline, so I suppose I should just put it in offline mode to try save a bit of battery. (I've unlimited data) and yeah, WiFi only has signal at home. I'll keep it off while I'm out.
Anyone have this issue, after 3 reboot i have this

sudden battery drain

I installed Resurrection Remix 5.6.9 two days ago and thing have been GREAT until this afternoon.
On the way home from, I suddenly noticed my battery started draining way too fast.
Tonight, I've been monitoring, and it's lost the same amount of battery in less than an hour as it did all last night unplugged 7 hours while I slept.
I installed gsam battery monitor in the hopes it would provide me with more inromation than the standard battery info from Android settings menu, but it's not telling me much more.
Also, in the time from 8:50 - 9:10 that I had the screen off and phone unplugged, the phone is warm like I've had the screen on using a CPU intensive app.
What else can I do to track what is causing this battery drain? (and i'm assuming CPU usage).
The only thing I did today that was any different was to install the Asus Pixelmaster camera app from the play store. other than that, absolutely no different usage today than the past two days.
I have just now uninstalled the Asus camera app to see if that is the culprit, but I don't see how it could be.
This is my first go with Resurrection Remix, but I did use the Asus Pixelmaster camera on CM13 and (obviously) stock and stock rooted ROMs.
Please, any thoughts on this?
@BigBrosMo this might interest you as well.

Craziness.... Not the camera. Something in cyanogen. The flat a section is airplane mode.
i could not track down what was causing the problem. this morning was even worse - about 1% drain every two to three minutes .
i'm trying out the XOSP ROM now.
I noticed if i turn the wifi off the drain is reduced significantly. Bluetooth is on, cellular on, wifi off.
Did you get any further in diagnosing battery loss? It's taking forever for RR 5.7.1 to get released.
I am having this issue to! On a couple roms at that. Anything you have found to resolve this?

No.. I just keep trying different Roms. I use resurrection remix latest and it's ok as long s location is completely off. If on high accuracy or battery Saver it kills battery. So I only use sparingly.
huh... so odd. I was excited about this one but I am getting ADs now and the battery issues. Had the same thing in Resurrection and now XOSP. In my troubleshooting, I installed an original ROM and that seemed to run fine. Going to see if someone deodexed one and flash that...
Take a look at this
It may be with 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' activity. Set it to 'Never'.
OR
Step A: Set 'can modify system settings' of 'Xender' in 'modify system settings' to off.
(But by keeping this off, everytime Xender prompts 'allow changing settings' and you need to allow it to use the app. After the use, you need to again do the Step A)

Anyone knows how to stop phone idle eating battery?

I recently bought the lg g6 h870 for europe and i saw that phone idle is eating like 46-50% and android os is eating like 22-25%.This morning i saw that phone idle ate like 75%.Is that even normal.I have to mention that i am on july security patch due to the lack of updates for europe.Anybody knows how to stop phone idle using that much,or i have to wait untill oreo?

We have to wait. This is most likely because of Android 7.0 idle battery drain bug which causes "Phone idle" to be very high and battery-hungry.
I have tried greenify and i have location turned off wifi off bluetooth nfc all are off and i am still getting like 77% phone idle and 22 percent android os while screen is eating only 20% and other apps 2-7%.I am really getting desperate.

Yes, as I mentioned, 7.0 is bugged and there are loads of similar topics not only here, on G6 forum, but also on Nexus, Samsung, Sony forums.
Most of them are connected with "Phone idle" issue.

That's nice mine consumes over 2000Mah over the same amount of time.
Hi all, got H870DS model a week ago and on the first run used LG Mobile Switch as suggested by the device. Transferred all data and settings from G4, all good, didn't take very long. The first 48 hours were quite bad: 2-3% of battery every hour when idling.
Tried Greenefy, all those things, but with no root - poinless. Tried phone hidden menu as well.
Then I downloaded and applied one of the latest HK firmware - still the same.
Note that all this time the phone had no SIM, but was connected to WiFi with all social apps running on background.
Then I decided to go long way: back to factory settings and update the phone in portions. Log in Google account, basic apps - and leave the phone for 2-3 hours. Another 2-3 apps and wait again.
Last ones - social and messengers: one by one, like on the minefield. Folio used instead of FB.
Result: 0% drain overnight. 1% used in the last 14 hours.
Happy with that.
Not sure what kind of settings were transferred from G4 to G6, but that obviously was the reason (in my case) for the drain.
