[Resolved] <-- i think - Battery drain issue - 2.3.x - wifi drains the battery if enabled

[mrjonnyrock]

Does anyone else have an issue with wifi and battery drain on 2.3.x

If wifi is enabled, it does not even have to be connected, the battery drain is 60-70mA all the time. Turn off wfi and the drain is down to 1-8mA

I have tried a number of sense ROMs and non sense ROMs with the same result. I have also tried a number of different radios.

This was not an issue before 2.3.x. It also does not seem to affect all devices.

Is my HTC Desire HD the only device with this issue?

Edit: Resolved or it seems to be

I do not have a Samsung Galaxy S Sir But this might help anyone who has a battery drain issue running 2.3.x on their Samsung Galaxy S.

Try turning off "Network notification" in wifi settings

Tried that and tried toggling 'Best wifi performance' on and off in the Sense Roms.

Make sure Wi-Fi sleep is set to never.

i can't calculate the estimated ma's can you go by hours or minutes?

 

[mrjonnyrock]

well basically if the phone lasts 8 hours i am doing ok. With wifi off its back to 24hours + with light 2 moderate use.

Make sure Wi-Fi sleep is set to never.

Done and checked on every ROM installed.

Thanks I'm also had this issue.

Well i seem to have solved this problem or it resolved its self

well i never thought, in a million year, that cleaning the contacts in the battery compartment and the contacts by the SIM card would solve my battery drain issue, but it has or seems to have.

I still can not explain this or am convinced that cleaning these 4 contacts were the problem because they were not very dirty
I also use a small flat head screwdriver to raise the 4 contacts a bit, not much just a fraction a very small amount, just to make sure that everything was making good contact when put back.

after almost 12 hours the battery drain is back to normal, in fact brilliant.

Can someone else confirm that this works for them as well
