Try the APP "Green Power" from market, it turns off wifi automatically when not in use, plus lot other power saving features.
I too have the same experience previously. now this App helps me a lot.

Sorry to jump in but can you tell me where you found this, I have gone into settings wifi but cannat see it anywhere

If you have disabled GPS and Bluetooth read the following, if not do so and come back^^
1. Go into battery stats and look out for anomalies
2. let your phone run out of power and shut down by itself, if the drain does not change significantly after that.
3. think about your installed apps. chat apps like skype and facebook are evil battery eating bastards.
4. check out whether your modem fits your region
5. Reflash the kernel

how to know to best modem that feet my region please ? i have have tried many of them i all work fine but how to know the best one ?

I had sort of the same problem as well. I downloaded Android System Info and went in to tasks and killed com.seven.Z7.service, and that made it stop use my data transfer 100% of the time. Worth a shot? I think it's the SGS email client, that has been reported before as well. Weird cause I've got push email, but still...

Its definatly a wifi issue, i thought a full wipe AND and fresh rom flash would clear it - but no luck

I just need a clue, wifi driver? Re-partition? Kernel issue?
Any developers know what could cause wifi to keep scanning when enabled?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

ive tried countless different roms and full wipes - ive heard of others having this issue on not only the galaxy s, but the galaxy tab and also HTC phones (a quick google search)
so, is this an android issue?
i refuse to believe that there isnt one developer on this forum, that doesn't know the answer and fix to this problem?

Easy Fix... (For the SGS anyway)
Go to... Menu>Wireless and network>Wi-Fi settings.
Uncheck "Network Notification"
Then tap the menu button (to the left of the home button) and tap "advanced"
Select "Wi Fi sleep policy" and set it to "When screen turns off"
Your battery life will improve drastically. Just drain the battery fully, and give it a full charge.
Let me know if this helps you.

Rom Kitchin build your own rom choose modem and csc .

It still keeps scanning for networks whilst im connected to my home wifi.
I dont want the wifi to disconnect when my screen goes off, i download and dont want it.switching to my data allowance just because the screeb turned off.

Unchecking Menu>Wireless and network>Wi-Fi settings.>"Network Notification"
You get no scanning for open networks so maybe you stop to scan networks while associated.
I think this is a problem with the modem.bin try to flash other one maybe JPY, JPU or JPM

Can you please check in wi-settings and see if it keeps scanning every 5 seconds when already connected to wifi.
... It may be normal behaviour, but.i doubt it.

I can confirm regular scanning when connected to Wi-Fi. I have never noticed this before. Interesting....
I am getting anywhere from 1 - 2.5 days out of my battery though.

Bugs in 10.4.B.0.569 update

Even though we have finally received the 4.3 update from SONY,
it seems like shipped with some noticeable bugs.
It's better if we can mention the bugs we have encountered after the 4.3 update
1. ) SONY Select
As many people have reported this service is not working in either mobile broadband or wifi connections.
Only a error text is shown as "No network connection. Please try again later"
2.) NFC icon
It suddenly get disapeared while it's already activated by quick settings.
3.) Airplane mode
When the Airplane mode is turned on by power button menu, it cannot be turned off using the same menu since it's disabled.
I had to go to the settings menu and turn it off from there.
4.) Network mode switching
3G networking and LTE network mode switching does not happening correctly in automatically (sometimes).
work arround found :
Had to go to the network settings and disable the mobile data
turn on the airplane mode on and again turn it off
enable the mobile data again then it will correctly jump to LTE network type
5.) Battery bug
Battery suddenly dropped from about 40 % to 8% (without any downloaded applications.)
6.) Overheating
Phone is incredibly overheating while using the HSPA+ or LTE data connection.
with 4.2.2 i didn't had this much of overheating issue.
Please share your findings also :highfive:

1 no
2 no
3 no
4 no
5 no
6 its normal

1 - No, it is working fine since 2 days ago.
2 - No, this is a customization thing, if you flashed a firmware from a different region it may have been disabled. It is normal, you can re-enable it editing build.prop.
3 - No, it works fine on mine.
4 - No, i don't have this problem.
5 - It happened to me in the first two hours of installing the new firmware, but from 13% to 0% reducing itself in 1% increments every 2 seconds (and it turned itself off), it may be some kind of battery recalibration after installation, it hasn't happened again since then.
6 - I don't feel like it is overheating more than before.
I thing you should do a factory reset. I did it after 4.3 update and the only bugs i have found are:
1 - Progress bar overlaping text while installing applications
2 - Standalone wifi hotspot toggle widget not working (the one in the configurable toggles in notification area works fine)
3 - Bluetooth A2DP music streaming skips a lot in my BMW Car Infotainment system while not charging the phone. It could be some kind of energy saving feature on the bluetooth that it is screwing things up. It worked 10 times better when i was in Android 4.2.2
cheers.

Good to know but anyway that is not an important bug, I can live with it. But if I ever need xposed for anything else I will remember this info.

I can confirm this one on existenz v5, not yet tested on stock Rom.

Does video stabilization option works for any one.
For me it doesn't look making any difference

Camera Bug
Tho only bug I noticed is in Camera Addon AR Effects. The Pictures a very dark and there´s no chance to activate LED Flash....

my phone's screen timeout resets back to 15 seconds every once in a while, and wakelock bugs also present

Sometimes SMS received without Notification

I have issues with access to OpenXChange Servers. No new mail can be received.

Just a wakelock bug for me, Suspend_backoff (Android OS) eating battery, it drains like ~5% hourly.

So you reinstalled 4.3 and it didnt fix the problem? Some users said they reinstalled 4.3 (which means complete data loss and having to set my phone from the beginning ) and the problem remains. I dont want to go through a clean istall for nothing.
I also emailed sony for the problem , maybe they will answer me

Best app to lock and unlock

Hello, my phone is not rooted and I'm looking for ways to lock and unlock without pressing buttons.
What app is the best in terms of battery for these functions?

I use "Gravity Screen On/Off". Let's you turn on the phone by picking it up or waving your hand over the top of the phone. Have mine set to turn phone screen off when I put it in my pocket also. Don't think it uses any more battery then other 3rd party apps and has served me well on all my phone's over the years.

Why is my music player using battery - haven't used it in 2 days?

I use n7 for my music player... I just noticed that it's 3rd on my battery consumption list?? Even before charging it, when I was down around 50%, it was still #3 on the list but with almost 10% usage. I haven't used my player since Sunday and I've restarted a few times since then. It does show up on the lockscreen from time to time (not sure why that is either)?
FYI: I'm also going to ask this on the n7 G+ board..... Because this may not be a "Samsung" question?

It's still running in the background. Probably auto booting also. Try killing it in processes and see if you can stop it from auto start. Maybe some other app that uses it and runs it in the background? You got some audio editing software on your phone?

Use package disabler and disable it from booting (you'll have to adb sideload extra permissions to get it to work without root) and install greenify, enable auto hibernation so it kills the programs you don't use when you turn the screen off.
You may want to just try greenify first. Also enable aggressive doze function which puts your phone in doze mode minutes instead of hours when your phone isn't in use.

Started with a disabler..... I disabled a bunch of junk, but not all of the bloatware (I like a couple things).
I also found a setting that shows the music widget/info on the lockscreen..... I disabled that, and my music player no longer is eating up battery.

I think I found the possible cause of draining the battery in Oreo Final Build

Since I upgraded to the final build of Android Oreo, my phone began to suffer an excessive consumption of battery with respect to nougat. Reading a bit about Android 8.0 I found that the option to "use mobile data while connected to WIFI" is turned on by default. Turning it off I have again + 6 hours of SOT.
I'm not sure if it's the real cause, but at least in my case it worked. regards!:good:

Ok. Where is that option? Is it in develeper options?

Great find !

just got my S8 here this month and its already on latest software. i can confirm that turning off data option while on wifi brings about better standby time
