The last couple days, I've noticed that my Wi-Fi has been eating up my battery while I'm at work. When it's switched off. It's using about 12% of my battery (40% drain total over a 9 hour work day). I turn my Wi-Fi off at 7:30 when I leave for work. Yet it dates it's been on for 9.5 hours when I leave work at 5.

I check the battery stats and it says that my Wi-Fi is on the whole time. I switch it on and back off, the time keeps adding up. Am I missing something here?
 
It is under warranty. I can't attest for the second question though. Anything else seems to turn off when the phone says its off.

The battery life is so great that this is only a minor annoyance. But it would be nice if I had the ability to turn my Wi-Fi off if I really need to conserve battery.
