System settings - Wi-Fi - Keep WiFi on during sleep - Never.
Or use tasker
Or use WiFi toggle

I pressed "install" for tasker and didn't realize it was a paid app, lol I'd rather not spend 6.50$ for a simple toggle, but thanks for the suggestion (s) XD

Oh it does tons more. It'll toggle if it senses you left the area. It will use whatever network you want in said area. It does a crap ton. But yeah its best to live it.

I like this, I only wish there were more delay times, but i'll try it and see whether I like the built in "wifi off when sleep" setting, thanks!

Hello everybody I just checked the recommended app (better wifi) but unfortunately there is no option just to turn off wifi automatically when not in range and that's what I'm looking for, any suggestion?

The settings in Better Wifi on/off do exactly that. Mine is set to only stay on with whitelisted SSID. There is an off if not connected, and many other settings. I think you missed some settings in the app.

Is there a permanent or automated fix for the 50%+ TWS bug?

Sorry if this has already been posted, but I can't find a straight answer with a search, only mentions of there being a fix.
Thanks in advance.

I'm on Bonsai 3.01 and it seems to be random whether it clears or not. I did notice if I hear the 3G beep after I boot then TWS stays near 0% and if I don't hear it after boot I get 50% so when I don't hear it I do the airplane mode toggle.
You have to cycle airplane mode after each boot. I use tasker to do it automaticaly but its a paid app, well worth it for all you can do with it tho.

Is there another app that can auto toggle airplane mode? I don't want to buy a $6.45 app when I only want that one specific function.

Not sure but tasker can do a lot more. For example when I get in my car it shuts down my Wifi turns on my gps and prompts me to select which music app I want to listen to.

I'm reading the description and don't see whether it's automated or not. Can you set it to flip at boot? There are tons of manual toggle widgets and that's not what I want.
If your running a custom rom couldn't you create a shell script to run from init.d ?

App similar power manager on windows laptops?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but is there an app that has settings so that when you plug in your charger it automatically turns brightness up and turns wifi on?

Unchecking the stay awake while charging setting will not survive a reboot

As the title says, my choice to let the phone sleep while charging won't stick. Has anyone else ran into this issue?
My phone is stock rooted and I can't seem to find an app that is causing the setting to change.

I figured it out. It was the recent update to extended controls.

Hi s9ortner, did you manage to discover a workaround? I have the same issue, and agree its very annoying!

This has been bugging me for weeks.
With your info, I made a toggle for the "Stay Awake" option. Now it seems to stay off through a reboot.
Thanks!

well actually come to think of it there is a way.. like when i flashed a custom rom the option was hidden..so i used the combo to make it visible but i didnt need to since usb debugging was already on, so if that is the only think you use in dev settings its possible to let it remain hidden and have debugging on

Go to settings - apps then the all tab. Scroll to settings and clear cache and data. Should be hidden again. You'll lose signal for a minute or so but after that it's back to normal

If you already root and don't want to losing your settings just install root explorer..open it and navigate to data/data/com.android.settings/shared_prefs/development.xml..edit and change value "true" to "false"..save and exit..then delete development.xml.bak..after that go to settings>apps>all>Settings..open it then force stop..then open Settings app to check it..voila! developer options disappeared!

Hide developer options mod
Thanks phadly!
I was searching for a solution just like the one you have suggested.
Based on your answer I have made a small mod that hides the developer options - All it does is replacing the development.xml file with one that contains a 'false' value, and setting the right permissions. I tested it on my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 and it work perfectly.
If anyone want to use the mod, it can be downloaded from here - flash it with CWM/TWRP etc.

Use case: I just put CM11 on a friend's Nook Tablet but I want to hide it so she can't go in there and somehow do something to make it explode...because she will find a way. I don't want ADB access ever getting turned off in case I need to try and save the device and that's the only way I can talk to it. I also want to take away Advanced Reboot so she doesn't get into recovery. So, there ya go Thanks for those who posted those methods to do this.
you could just clear the settings app data and it would go away.
Antone knows how to hide de home menu settings?

The Clear Data button is greyed out. Why??
It's never been greyed out on my previous phones. This is an LG V20.
Any fix other then factory reset?

Stock Screen stays on

My wife's stock NOte II screen Time setting is 10 seconds.
It comes on when notifications go off, and never goes off, unless we manually turn it off.
Any thoughts?
This continues to be a problem.
In fact, it happens at night while on the charger, and the screen staying on prevents the phone from achieving a full charge.
Nobody has any thoughts?
Maybe the face rwgonition sensor that keeps the phone awake when you're looking at it is faulty.

Try turning off smart stay and see it fixes the issue.
Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2!
Thanks for the thoughts.
Smart stay is off, so that likely is not hte issue.
There are 2 problems as I see it: First, the fact that it always turns on when anything happens, such as mail receipt, text msg, notifications. Then it never goes off.
If all else fails there is a mod in the themes and apps section to disable screen wake lock....so if you get any notifications it will not wake your screen I cant give u the link im out

Turn off motion detection, this always happened to me at night while charging.
Haven't had the problem ever since.

Interesting. I have that on on my SGS III, and don't have this problem. But, my wife pretty much doeson't use the motion detection things anyway. Just turned it off. I'll post back how it goes.

Thanks.
Upon checking it out, it works with the stock messaging app. We use Google Voice, so probably won't work.
I have turned off motion, and I think it has improved. Although I think it turns on when fully charged (notification of full charge I suppose), and stays on.
The fact that it stays on is the real problem. I don't understand why the 15 second setting doesn't let it turn off.
Hmmmm....I just thought of something else: I may haave Screeble installed. I'll have to check on that and see if there are strange settings or something.
I know what it is.... go into developer options and look for an option that says "screen on while pluged in" turn it off
good find...

Check in Settings > Developer Options
Theres an option in there to keep screen awake while charging and that may have been turned on? If not turn off try turning off the dev options just to make sure thats not the problem.
