Z1 Lollipop wifi usage

matosh — Mon, 25 May 2015 10:43:49 GMT

Hello,

Why my phone is showing Wifi usage bar in menu Battery Usage when wifi is actually OFF? e.g during the night Wifi is off, but in the morning I see a full bar of wifi usage - means ON.

In Wifi option I have - Keep Wifi on during sleep -> NEVER

Thanks

Could you post a picture of the battery graph?

Here is the screenshot, since 100% phone is running on Edge (2G) signal. Wifi is OFF, scanning is OFF, Location is set to Device Only and still WIFI is listed in battery usage

@alexdon take a look at point no 4, it shouldn't affect battery too much:

Also according to my phone log I was out of any supported wifi (traveling across Europe in car) and my wifi was on all time.

But still it seems to be general bug in Android 5.0.x series:

Wifi was ON because of VIBER!

In the Setting -> General-> wifi is Always CONNECTED or we can change it to Use device's settings
