Hold the Mail Please

Looking for a way to keep my phone from checking for emails and scanning for wifi overnight.
Reason being, sometimes when I'm staying overnight somewhere and I don't have a wifi connection the phone continues to scan and receive emails and that seems to be draining the battery.
Isn't there a way to add this feature to the do not disturb. All do not disturb does is turn off notifications.

Tanks,
Pete

I'd recommend turning on Airplane Mode as that will stop it from having any connection and will thus stop it from trying to connect to wifi

EDIT 2: Odd, the link I posted contradicts what I said. I was going based off of how my S3 is where it doesn't try to connect to wifi in airplane mode

Well, either way I can't let my phone have WiFi on all the time, so I just turn it off and I would say do the same, turn off WiFi while you're not using it. Most simple, yet effective solution.
By the way, I prefer APC's.

I use tasker to turn off auto sync during the hours of 11:30 and 07:30, that would achieve what you want.

I use Tasker to disable WiFi when I am out of range of my office networks. When I am again within range I enable WiFi.

This allows me to visit a customer site and not have my phone constantly testing their WiFi connections but I still have Mobile Data.

Hi, you can turn off wi-fi when the phone is asleep in the settings, and make sure your data is turned off. To turn off the wi-fi go to wi-fi, settings and you will find the option to turn off during sleep. Phil

Just turn mobile data off overnight.
