Solid WIFI line in the battery graph?

[tonroe]

So I'm not sure why this is happening and I think it is effecting my battery life pretty badly.
I haven't seen this yet on any other screenshots and I'm not sure how to fix it as this is my first android device.

I would love some tips to stop my phone from constantly using wifi.
Thanks.

i dont know if this apllies to android but i know ios8 had a problem with wife and battery. the wifi would deplete the battery too much . . . . . . . . but i am guessing maybe your phone is having the same problem. i suggest u keep wifi off unless u are using it

Go to settings menu - wifi, in the wifi settings, hit the menu button on top right, go to advanced. In that menu, there is an option to "keep wifi on during sleep". You can change this to only when plugged into power. Changing helps battery, but not by tons and tons.

Wifi settings - advanced - uncheck always scanning and set keep wifi on to NEVER.

Helps the battery.

You have over 10 hrs use and 41% battery left. Graphs, charts, etc. don't mean anything if you are getting this kind of battery usage. In my opinion you are making much ado about nothing.

Whuuuut? We should get 86 hours of battery with everything turned on! But we are only getting 16 to 24 hours depending on usage!

That's it. I'm going to jitterbug...

Seriously, your battery is good.

The WiFi bar doesn't mean that it's being used, just that WiFi is On.
