Z5 marshmallow WIFI battery problem

[Drcspynz]

Since getting the marshmallow update my Z5 has shocking battery drain when on wifi. It's fine if switched to data. Have tried everything including factory reset.  Nothing shows in battery app usage as high drain.  

Have seen a very few others online with this issue but not many.  Any suggestions?

@Drcspynz

boot in >>> safe mode and test it for few hours

Thanks that's about the only thing I didn't think to try. Will get back to you with a result.

Nope. Lost 9% in ONE HOUR in safe mode on wifi and I wasn't even using the phone  grrr.

I have the exact same problem, losing 45% overnight, the thing is I've become so accustomed to not using wifi now my data ran out, hope the news software fixes this.

A h. Another person with this problem. I can tell you that i have 32.2.A.0.253, which is the latest marshmallow version,  and it has NOT fixed the problem 

[Darbo25]

You're not wrong, spent the day with the new software and it's still the same, hope they fix this soon or i might have to sell this and get something else. Shame because it's a good phone.

ok I MAY have it figured at last........iv'e turned off location entirely and the battery usage has been approx 3% p/h

MUCH better...

not an ideal 'fix' however

My location is already off, or is location off in toolbar not entirely off?

[Drcspynz]

Check in system/location

Location will only show up in the top tool bar if its being used by an app
