Turn Off Wifi Reconnection Confirmation - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have my wifi configured to turn off when my screen goes off. When I wake the phone I always get a pop up message telling me that my wifi has reconnected. Is there any way to stop that pop up from appearing?

Was wondering this myself. It seems a bit random though. Sometimes it does it and sometimes not and as yet I haven't noticed a pattern.
No doubt one of the gurus here will know

Just had a thought. Is your wifi set to switch off when your phone sleeps? Mine is set to always on so I would only get that message if I actually turn the wifi off then on again (just tested it).
It doesn't seem to make any huge difference in battery life to leave it always on in my experience.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I know it doesn't make a huge difference but it does save a bit of battery. I'm using Juice Defender to switch it off. The pop up message isn't a huge problem. I was just wondering if there was a simple hack to remove it.

No worries. I can appreciate how sometimes the small annoyances can make a difference if solved.
My Gnex was so much better when I found how to wake it with the volume buttons... Which reminds me that I must solve that one for this Note

bump, anyone know?
I've checked all the settings and as far as I can tell you can't change this. . I'm guessing this is something that devs can add as customization on their roms.
It only lasts about 5 seconds each time so it hasn't been much of a concern to me. But if someone finds a way I'll take it

The only way I know to make it go away is to use a different messaging app, such as handcent.

Annoying Screen Timeout!

So I'm watching a video (expanded to full screen) on the stock browser at night in a dark room when the screen times out.
I can't find any way of switching the screen timeout off, and have to resort to setting the time to maximum and having to reopen the screen and restart the video every 10 minutes.
There has to be a solution to this annoying problem? Please?

Is smart stay enabled or is it just not working on the dark room ? If smart stay is not working then you can just pull out the s pen from it's holder or hover with the s pen instead of closing the video.

Fair enough, but there is "no issue."
Why have this phone if you don't use it? Besides, full screen is probably one way to AVOID burn in.

Yes, this avoids the screen burn. Screen burn only happens because some of the led's are used more than others which is why some degrade faster which results in varying color contrasts. Using full screen almost all the time however, uses all of the led's, thus all of them will degrade at a slightly similar rate and the change of color contrast would not be as noticeable to the common eye.

If you mean stock internet browser it will time out don't know why I streamed hell in a cell last week had the same issue doesn't happen on any other phone I know of just this one...I had to stretch the screen so it looked full screen and it stayed on strange I know

I'm having the same problem not sure why there would be this problem considering no phone for the last 4 years have had this problem. Terrible overt sight by Google/Samsung. Really interested if some one finds the solution to this.
Use Profile Scheduler from the play store it lets you set up a profile with a setting for screen time out never option. Thats the only reason I use it. I listen to alot of music in my truck and it keeps the musoc player from going to sleep.
Screen time out issue is only when watching flash enabled videos in browser.
Reason : Flash is not supported in Jellybean officially,
So just using flashplayer.apk will not rewrite screen timeout settings in system files.
And, smart stay doesn't work in dark room with lights off.

Screen stays on ALL NIGHT

I dont know if anyone is facing the same problem I have now, my n2 screen wont turn off by itself. I have set the timer on 15secs, smart stay disable. It juz wont turn off when idle. And if its fully charged, it will stay up all night as well.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Does it relate to my Omega rom or Redpill kernel?
Thanks

What is your screen time out once mine was changed automatically check that

There's a button on the side for that
Just kidding, that's very strange. I noticed if you reboot the phone and don't touch it, when it comes on the screen never turns off either. Doesn't matter if it's plugged in or not.

do you have the power option to stay on whilst charging?
It's not smart stay, not the screen rotate with your head thingy nor the developer option that keeps the screen on while the device is being charged. I turned all that off. This is clearly a big that I've had from 4.1.1. Can't get rid of it. Annoyance at its peak.

Are you saying that the screen just won't turn off, or that it turns itself on and then won't turn off?
If it's the first, my guess is an app which prevents the screen from turning off, didn't release its lock after being shut down. This can happen with some games, I've seen it with angry birds and jetpack joyride, titanium backup has done it too. Try to empty ram and kill processes, and/or reboot, though I would guess you might have tried that already.

If doesn't turn on on its own. When the bug kicks in, the screen doesn't go off if it's manually turned on or If a missed call or message is left unattended. Hope you got that. But yes, I can turn off the screen manually but doing that every time is ridiculously annoying. The bad thing is I cannot know if the bug is active or not without actually watching my screen till the timeout. Annoying bug! I've tried various things and I do not know what's causing this. I'm on stock rom, never rooted.

Quick Glance feature

Swipe your hand slowly over the sensor and the phone will show time, missed calls, messages, and battery percentage. I think it's a pretty tight feature. Was just wondering how many people actually knew about it and use it.

It's a nice feature but I wonder how much battery it will drain? If you think about it, in order for it to respond when you put your hand over the sensor, it means the sensor is always going to be on. That means something is running all the time.

I do use it. the first few days I had the Note II I kept wondering why is it turning on by itself. there was no ad about it like the other touchwiz features of the S III on youtube. then I found lots of touchwiz features on settings. LOTS.

Its a really nice feature for when ur walkimg around ur office or house and just wanna see if u have any missed txt, but i did read something online where it drained the battery super fast. So i shut the feature off and i literally got 5hrs more out of the battery, wasn't worrying through out the work day if it was gonna die.

used it for about an hour, was pretty meh. Good concept, but bad implementation. I have my phone on my desk and it was always turning on and off. But when I needed it to to show me quick glance data, it worked about 50% of the time.
The only thing from that menu I love is the Palm Swype to screen capture.

I have been testing the quick glance feature and noticed that it works best in low light conditions, especially in darkness..
I sleep with my phone on my bed (I use it as my alarm clock) and with the lights out quick glance works for me every time. I have gotten to like it because the screen is much easier on the eyes, at night (dimmer), than hitting the power button to check the time/notifications. I disable it during the day though.
The Palm swipe for a screen shot is awesome. It is a much faster way to take a screen shot than having to take out and use the S-Pen.. I wish the screen didn't turn white while swiping though. Not a big deal I just think the loud click upon taking the shot is enough to let the user know the shot had been taken.
I used it when I got my Note in November but as mentioned, it does cause a very noticeable battery drain.

If you edit the smali it will work. But keeping your device from deep sleeping? Um i dont care what is in that thread. Your battery will die very quickly. You can simply write an app to hold the wake lock without going through all the smali code.

um not really on the "battery will die very quickly" I actually have the mod on on my note2 and the battery difference is very minimal. yes you will loose a little but we're talking about 1-2% per hr less when mod is on. not really a difference considering the battery size of the note2. Dont know if the same will be with the much smaller battery of the s4 but it has a smaller screen as well (less power).
*s4 wake up lag is terrible imo

1 to 2 percent is a lot multiplied by 24 hours in your day minus the drain while using the device.
