I saw this posted somewhere, but can't seem to find it now.. someone had posted a code that you punch into the dialer to turn off power saver for WiFi, and speed up your WiFi a little. Does anyone know about this ? Thanks

Perhaps you mean this?
1. Open up the Galaxy S3 phone dialer
2. Then dial *#0011#
3. Look for the “ServiceMode” screen and press the left menu button
4. Select “WiFi”
5. You should see that the “WiFi Power Save Mode” button is “ON” – now put it on “OFF”
6. You're done! Just exit the menu, switch off your WiFi, then switch it back on again. If your router details are saved and automatically connects, get your Galaxy S3 to forget or delete the network information. Then reconnect, putting in all the required information.

Is the battery life significantly worst with Power Saver off?

My app was having problem with running with an AP from where I download video to play. I tried the workaround on my S3 and my app worked fine. However, I cannot suggest my customers to do the same. I've tried to use the WIFI_FULL_HIGH_PERFORMANCE mode, and it really did not help me. Is there a way for me to disable the wifi power save mode programmatically?
How can i turn wifi power save mode on huawei phones? They don't have those options.

I too would like to know the difference as well. I'm going to assume it will drain your battery faster, but for what advantage?

Strange, but after doing this my screen will not auto shut off after the 15s timer. I do not have smart stay enabled and the phone is not pluged in.
I will switch it back and see what happens
BTW im running FreeGS3 R5

I had that too. Just reboot and it is fixed!
Any way to save the setting? If you reboot it reverts back to power saving "on" mode.

+1 Yep. A reboot fixed it for me too.
A reboot just reverts the settings. My phone was doing the same (screen staying on) until I rebooted the phone. I then checked the settings again and it had changed back.

Just an idea... have someone call it? That will in turn wake it up for you to use it, and up the standby screen time.
Why not taking the battery out, then in, then power up. IIRC, the phone won't shut off if it has just booted unless it times out.
There is an app called slide2wake

My power button and mic both quit working this morning. I have had the phone about two weeks. I'm just pulling the battery and using volume rockers to wake up at this point.
Restoring old backup ROM, but I don't think it has anything to do with it since the button does not work in CWM either.
Uhggg
Charge it? Mine cuts on when I charge it.

What 'bout with a charger? Like the previous gentleman said?
disassemble the phone [it's really not hard, just some Phillips screws and then pry the screen part out]. depending on how badly you broke the power button you can either just push on the underlying membrane or short the contacts using a wire.

The last few months on my gnex I started having to take the battery out and put back in to power on.. (about 50% of the time) If I do this it will power on but if I don't it wont.. Anyone know what this could be? Is it the power button? Seems like if it was it wouldn't power on at all?

Alright so recently I've gotten rid of all custom roms and gone with stock GB27 because I wanted better battery life with my phone. My phone is not rooted or anything at the moment.
However, the other day I did root again and since then my phone started being really weird. I stayed on stock GB27 and just did root so that I could keep the really good battery life but still be on JB. After root I noticed that my phone doesn't register power button presses the same. Sometimes if I just tap the power button it accepts it as me holding it and brings up the power menu asking if I want to turn off, etc. or it just won't respond at all. If it doesn't respond, I press it again hoping it will respond, but then it just reboots after I press it like 3 times hoping for the screen to turn off.
It's really irritating when I can't unlock my device or turn off the screen, especially when the phone turns on and off perfectly if I want it to. I have no issues being able to turn the phone on if it is completely off, it's only when the phone is on that I have these problems. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have searched and not found the changes needed so I'm posing the question here:
Is there any way we can have the WiFi power saving feature turned off as a default when using the stock rooted galaxy s4 rom?
What needs to be changed/done to achieve this? Simple?
Thanks!
Go into your settings, Wifi, press the menu button, advanced, then set Keep Wifi on During Sleep to Always.

Not sure about the USSD code since I'm on a modified kernel but I am assuming you can turn it off from the menu as well. Set it to off if you can and then reboot and open the menu and see if that setting sticks. Just curious, how is the power savings mode affecting you? If there is something specific, let me know.

HI, I have been having a Terrible lag issue with my SGH-497 (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1). I can Swype or tap something and it take almost 5-8 second for it respond. I want to troubleshoot the reason behind this. I have successfully started it in Safe mode (starting it and holding down the volume down button). Here, everything seems to work perfectly. On a computer, I can usually figure out what the culprit is, but on the droid, I can't. How do I figure out what app is causing my issue? If I go to the task manager on droid, and clear the RAM, it would close about 40 apps... too many to try one by one...lol
Thanks in advance!
Just a quick tip: you can reboot into safe mode by holding down the power button until the power off prompt pops up. Then long press power off.

Well if you go to the real task manager app can't you see exactly what's using all the ram?

Yeah, I went into safemode. In the task manager there are 0 (zero) apps running. When I clear the RAM, 20 apps close..... but no clue what they are. My tablet also responds much better in safemode.... that's what I'm trying to figure out what is causing the lag...
