that is really bad. My iphone 5 drains maybe 2-3% at night w/ wifi, bluetooth, and push email. I would say anything over 5% when the phone is idle is pretty high.

Does your wifi turn off during sleep?

 

[mattopotamus]

Does your wifi turn off during sleep?

no, at least i don't think so, and i'm not connected to bluetooth just leave it on

 

[Vetvito]

^ yes the iPhone wifi turns off when sleep. Android wifi stays active.

 

[Oletros]

You can set the Wifi behaviour in Android, I don't know how it works in iOS

 

[Vetvito]

It turns off , you can't change it if you're not jail broken.

 

[mattopotamus]

^ yes the iPhone wifi turns off when sleep. Android wifi stays active.

why would anyone want it to stay on when asleep? I guess if you are downloading something really large? But with a iphone it will keep downloading when asleep then cut off.

 

[Vetvito]

^ you know everyone doesn't have unlimited data. You might want all your notifications without having data on, or you might be in a terrible location for a data signal.

duh, I feel dumb. That makes total sense

Automatically syncing your emails is another reason you would want to keep Wi-Fi on during sleep? I don't think it's possible to automatically check for email and cut off? Unless it automatically turns Wi-Fi on and off every 15 minutes and checks for mail.

That's not the final software. After Google rolls out their final build Nexus 4 will beat all other phones in battery life.

The results by anandtech are similar to what others are getting at xda developers. I will put more faith in anandtech, sorry. They are the best technical reviewer on the web.

Good reason to stay with GSM (other than the plethora of other reasons): http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/19/3665984/transit-wireless-nyc-subway-t-mobile-att

Subways don't have covergae?

It doesn't do that, but that would be an excellent option... a "conserve battery but check on occasion" option, also extendable to cellular.

You can use Tasker or Juice Defender for that

Not usually. Not yet.

So I ordered within the first 5 minutes, 11:36 EST to be exact and have gotten no shipping confirmation from Google. I decided to call them up and I'm on backorder apparently, again with no communication from them.

Awesome.

I may just get the Note ii and say piss on it.

 

[Tinmania]

Nonsense.

Put iPhone in airplane mode. Turn on wifi. Put it to sleep. Have someone send you an iMessage or anything that would trigger a notification. Watch the notification appear. Realize wifi is not truly "off."

I still have not heard anything from google either...no shipping, no back order email...nothing and I ordered 2 minutes before you. The earlier you ordered the more jacked your order is =/

Notice I sad sleep, the wifi doesn't turn off instantly on IOS when the screen is off, it takes time.

Notice I also said sleep so ok . Still, wait an hour or three and repeat test. You will still get notified. Wifi is not truly off.

Cool. Thanks. Clearly, I'm still at the beginning of the learning curve.

 

[Switchback666]

After ios5 wifi stays ON after you lock the device and stay that way unless you turn it off.

That's a silly work around don't you think? What about phone calls and other stuff for people who actually uses their phone as a phone?

Work around?? What are you talking about?

You claimed wifi turned off and I showed you that that is not so. That's it.

 

[Vetvito]

What you are referring to us Persistent Wifi that was introduced in IOS 4. If you don't have a data connection then Wifi stays active if the phone is sleep.

Thus you mentioned a silly work around.
