Wifi is at the top of the battery drainage and the report of the battery usage also shows wifi on all the time even when it was off plus there is real battery drainage

I haven't experienced this bug but it seems related to the Location services. This process worked for several people having the same issue.

- Go to settings - location - three dots top right - scanning - uncheck WiFi and Bluetooth.

- Settings - backup & reset - network settings reset - reset settings.

- Reboot your phone for the changes to apply. You need to check if the problem persists after a full charge.

- If it doesn't work try wiping the cache partition on recovery.

Tell us how it goes and if it works give credit to the Brazilian guys in this Google+ community

Already did that and rebooted also . wifi is gone from that list but when you check the battery reports it shows wifi was on when it was not sometimes

Do you mean that the WiFi bar is solid even when you're not using it? Do you keep the WiFi radio on even when there's not network available?

By the way, did you manage to stop the battery drain?

I had this problem after updating my Nexus 7 to Marshmallow - lost full charge overnight . Tried the location services change and it made no difference, tried clearing the cache made no difference. I then reset the Nexus and set it up again. I've had no problems since and am getting the full benefit of the Doze feature. I use the Nexus in bed, rest of the time it sits on the bedside cabinet. I now go days between charges.

Battery drain stopped after the factory reset and location to device mode only now when I turn on the data for sometime the wifi bar strikes back in history only !

I am having the same problem ever since I got the OTA update for Marshmallow. WiFi is the top battery gobbler in the list 10% and more!! Tried all the solutions that are on the net and it still not fixed!!

 

[Teejai80]

Yep same here too. Going to try a few things now.

I did everything posted above except for resetting network settings and it stopped. Finally I have the battery life I was expecting on this phone.

What did you do?
I am also facing this issue even after factory reset...

I did a factory reset after update and then got the Wifi battery drain.

Turned location to GPS only, turned off Bluetooth and Wifi scanning and rebooted.

[Daniel Black05]

Seems the 6.0.1 update fixed WiFi battery drain or most likely incorrect report on battery usage. Now WiFi is not on top of the list.

I did everything suggested above, updated to 6.0.1 and I still have battery drain from wifi. It seems that I'm using much more battery than I should be with apps like WhatsApp and Messenger. My battery was full when I woke up, wifi turned off, light usage on 4g (1h18 sot) and my wifi bar is solid, now I have only 65% left. This issue will drive me crazy soon

WiFi using the most of my battery me on 6.0.1 and not getting through a day with much battery left. Did not turn off wifi scanning until now. Hope it gets better
