Do you really know what your mobile phone is doing?
"To improve location accuracy
and for other purposes, Google and other apps may scan for nearby
networks, even when Wi-Fi is off," describes Google.
...
Fire up the Settings app and tap
your finger on the Wireless and Networks option. Tap on the Wi-Fi
option, and then tap on the Overflow button on your phone's screen (the
triple-dots icon). When this submenu pops up, tap your finger on the
Advanced option. From there, you'll want to make sure to check the
"Scanning always available" option if you want to participate in the new
Android 4.3 feature. Otherwise, if it's checked, you need merely to
uncheck it to ensure that "Wi-Fi off" really means "Wi-Fi off."
PS - Even in 4.1.1 and 4.2.2 there's weirdness in connection while asleep - go to wi-fi advanced, and look at the "Keep Wi-fi on during sleep" - "always" might be checked - using battery like crazy? Maybe change it to "Only when plugged in"?
