[Q] WiFi auto on [Sprint]

My phone keeps turning WiFi on automatically. Is there a way to disable this? I can't seem to find anything that is relevant in WiFi settings.

Look in Settings->More Settings->Mobile Networks->Automatic Connections and turn it off if it is on

Appreciate it, sprint could have put that under the WiFi settings. I swear carriers do some odd things with these ROMs.

How to turn of power save WiFi ?

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.

Galaxy s3 won't sleep

Confused here... Your title says your phone won't sleep.. But your post says your screen times out (shuts off?)??
Little more please....

Try to delete some recent apps you installed.

I never got to the bottom of this. My screen will turn on after I get a txt or the alarm clock rings.

Those are proscribed behaviors... The phone is supposed to do that unless you dl a mod. I think freeza did a mod for the messaging notifications....

Hope I'm not thread jacking. But they turn on and never turn back off. So if I don't put my phone on the charger at night and then I get a txt, the screen stays on and drains. Or if I snooze in the morning and pass back out, the screen stays on.

Wake locks! Use better battery stats to tell you what the offending app is.

I'm actually having this issue. Phone will stay on and won't go into sleep. Touch key light duration is set to 1.5 seconds but this stays on as well. And I'm having to reset the phone every time this happens. Could anyone direct me to resolving this issue?

Use better batteey atats to find the app keeping it awake, and uninstall.

Is that a app?

Nfc broke?

I don't think my nfc is working. I tried doing the Google wallet mod to work and failed a few times so I gave up on it and restored my backup.
I haven't messed with the nfc feature before that but tried with a co worker today and it wouldn't work.
I could share through wifi direct but not through nfc.
I watched a YouTube video on it to make sure I was doing it right, but I noticed I don't have an icon come up in notifications whenever I enable nfc through settings.
I am running the h20 lk8 room

might sound like a condescending question, but did you turn it on? it's off by default...

Lol. Yeah, I did.

Anyone?

try looking at the antenna, does it seat properly? does it have something blocking contact? it's it dirty? if none of these are the case seek warranty reimbursement or change of phone

Maybe I'll just unroot and try it and if it doesn't work then get a replacement

Are you trying to transfer something from your device to another via s beam?

Yes. I can do it through wifi direct but can't even get the nfc icon to come up when I enable it

It's official, I'm going to unroot and try it. If it works I will root and try again. If not, I guess I'll take it back

Still doesn't work. Gonna go to sprint store and see if their demo phone has it working
Edit: their phone doesn't show the icon either. Didn't try using the nfc on it though
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

I have used nfc many times and I never see any icob light up. The only time you get an icon is after you receive a file through s beam letting you know the transfer is complete. Your not supposed to see an icon just because nfc is enabled.

does it make the blurp sound when you touch it to another nfc phone? also remember unlike the S3 the CENTER of the phone is not the touch point its the top half. the range is EXTREMELY short (many times under 1 inch) so you do need to touch with "some" precision.
also make sure SBEAM is also turned on (thats what is uses to nfc file transfer)
you don't transfer via NFC you transfer via wifi direct which is linked to sbeam and nfc handles the "handshake" so BOTH nfc and sbeam need to be on to do a file swap

I think all share needs to be turned on. I just tried the other day.

Keep screen on when connected to power ?

Is there any app or tweak which can leave the screen on when the phone is being powered / charged ?
If I connect the phone in my car and just want to read the odd bits while driving, the screen keeps going off.

Hi,
have you ever tried the app "No Screen Off" from the market?

Not bad but would prefer something which works automatically based on whether it's connected to a charger or not
