Disable WiFi power save mode by going to your phone dialer and dialing *#0011# >hit menu button and choose WiFi> turn off.
Set keep WiFi on during sleep. go to settings> WiFi> advanced> change 'keep WiFi onduring sleep' to 'always'
Hope this helps.

Airplane Mode/Los

I've been noticing every now and then my phone will go into airplane mode and I can't get it to come out. I uncheck it and it says it's turning the radio on but when I exit wireless settings and go back in - there it is, checked again.
When I hold down the power button I can 'turn off' AP mode but it's still on and checked in the wireless settings.
LoS is something different supposedly but next time someone has it (not ghost Los) check the AP mode and let me know.
Also think I can recreate this issue very easily.

Screen lock

guys
when i press the right side button to turn off the screen, it also locks it forcing me to key in the PIN even if i need to use the phone after a minute
Any app to help with that? Basically turn off the screen but don't lock the phone?
Thanks
Turn off security in settings, either slide or off is what your looking for

It depends on exactly what you are looking for but you can change the amount of time the screen has to be off before requiring a pin. I believe if you go into security settings you can put the screen off time at 30 min before requiring a pin or any other security for that matter.

If I'm not mistaken, that only affects the time out sleep state. If you manually press the side button to turn the screen off it locks immediately. It'd be nice for this not to happen.
I use widgetsoid. It allows you to toggle the lock screen on and off as you need it.

If you look you have the option 'Power button instantly locks' as well as a sleep lock timeout setting.

True, so I believe if the op didn't want his phone to lock instantly he would have to remove the checkmark on "Power button instantly locks" and then increase the sleep timeout for the pin lock.
I don't have 'Power Button Instantly Locks' ??

Activating airplane mode but leaving WiFi on

Hey I see this question asked a lot and I still don't get my answer. I want to turn on airplane mode but keep WiFi on. (EVEN ON REBOOT) And I don't want to turn on WiFi after pressing airplane mode or everytime I reboot or power off. I want WiFi to auto turn on on boot in airplane mode.

hardware button touch vibration suddenly not working

half hour ago, it was ALL good.
15 or 20 mins ago when I was texting. suddenly the hardware buttons touch vibration refuse to work (volume rocker, long press power button, menu, back)
the vibration motor is 100% normal. I still have UI haptic feedback. like sidebar, dialer key press and all other UI haptic feedback all working fine.
Only the hardware button touch won't trigger vibration.
I tried to refresh the rom, kernel but still the same.
I know I could flash the stock rom and test but it would be a lot of effort. So I figure I'd ask here if anyone have this same problem before or have any idea if this
is hardware failure or just software problem?
I want to know if I need to sent my phone back to Samsung to get service.
Thanks in advance.
did you enable power saving mode?
when you enable it the haptick feedback goes away and when u turn it off is stays like that
you should re enable it from the power saver menu I guess

Similar query..
Though I don't use power saving mode, yet touch on vibration is not working.. Haptic feedback is clicked..
Is it because of having navigation bar enabled??
