Why is WiFi using 35% of my battery?

Any idea as to why my WiFi is using 35% of my battery? HJ

I just went into settings and unchecked best WiFi settings....Maybe that will help? HJ

That will help a little. But you gotta figure that its using 35% of your battery as a hole, part of 100%. So to say that if your phone only had WiFi on and nothing else it would be using 100% of your battery. I know that's not technically possible but I'm only using as a reference. It would be a different story if your battery went from 100 to 65 just because of your WiFi. Does your battery seem to be taking a huge hit? Is it not lasting as long as usual? Is your WiFi switching or loosing signal constantly? It would be more of an issue if you were having those symptoms. Their needs to be an issue first then we look at the %'s.

From my personal experience, WiFi eats battery like anything in HTC One.

If I am outside, I switch off WiFi nowadays (I do have lots of data to eat though ) and do get a good battery life.
