I have 12.04 current installed on my laptop. First thing, the wifi gets hard blocked when enters suspend. This kept me away from Ubuntu. Well, this isn't the matter right now. I started using the hibernation as it kept my wifi alive but I've noticed that my battery drains a lot faster than suspend while on hibernation. It drained overnight and I saw it in sleep mode when I woke up. It bugs me a lot, so any solutions????

Edit: I found out it doesn't hibernate at all. It just keeps running.

A laptop does not usually consume any power when hibernated. And you sure it is not coming out of hibernate? Like this question - "Ubuntu comes out of hibernate/stand by randomly"? Or perhaps coming out of hibernate, then automatically hibernating again? Are you sure the laptop is really hibernating and not suspending? – bain Aug 03 '14 at 15:06
If it suspends, then the wifi gets hard blocked. That does not happen in hibernation. – Dawood Shahid Aug 03 '14 at 15:10
It happens exactly like the question in the link – Dawood Shahid Aug 03 '14 at 15:11
So it randomly comes out of hibernation? – bain Aug 03 '14 at 15:25
I don't think so.... – Dawood Shahid Aug 03 '14 at 17:34
How are you hibernating it? – Tim Aug 04 '14 at 07:19
I have installed the Gnome 3 environment. I just tweaked it to 'Close Lid: Hibernate' – Dawood Shahid Aug 04 '14 at 07:44
