Hello;
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 running Jelly Bean 4.1.2
Problem:
Sometimes my WiFi turns itself on, i turn it off and stare at the screen couple seconds later it turns itself on without me touching the phone.
When at home and the WiFi is turned off it says "Connected to VirginMedia (my WiFi)" and makes my signal cut out (Internet signal E.G H+).
Its highly annoying, ive tried changing things in the WiFi advanced settings and the mobile data settings and it still continues to do this.
I have done the *#0011# and gone to WiFi and turned power saving move off and no change :\
I havent updated anything recently and its only just occured
Please someone help !
Sounds like you u have the malware that is Sprint Connection Optimizer enabled.

Amigo, "Sprint Connections Optimizer" is a system utility that Sprint jams in to their stock ROMs. You cannot remove it, all you can do is turn it off. I believe via Network Setting somewhere.
The theory behind the utility is that it checks what internet connections are available and picks the quickest one....the reality is that it wastes battery and does a terrible job at optimizing anything,
Oh okay, ive seen videos for the s3 etc its simply untick it but the Note 2 doesn't have that option I cant find it anywhere :/

Are you rooted? From what I've seen in that program you need to be rooted for that feature to work.

Check out this thread. Old app but might work for you.
Flash an ICS ROM. That will turn them off by default due to a bug

Turn off notifications in ur superuser app, but with the app running nonstop in ur background I doubt u will be saving much battery. Mikg3.11 has the ability to turn them off in the built in tweaks app. Just fyi
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
I had also found this. Also read you could force stop the app and the lights would stay off until you reboot your phone.

if you are rooted, check out this thread. it could answer some of your battery hogging problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1977223&highlight=battery+life
Before you root, try this:
Go into your settings and go into Location Services. Uncheck all 3. You WILL see your battery life improve big time. What really drains your battery is most likely you syncing a lot of accounts and you having location services turned on whereas then google maps constantly tries to get your location, thus you have partial wakelock waking your phone even when screen is off. Now try to see what accounts can you do without much syncing such as Facebook, gmails, etc. These 2 are 2 of the most basic battery drainers known.
And of course the above is also right, media scanning kills..but you'll need to root to solve that problem.
I don't need to debloat! I use AOSP LOL!

i used almost 1.2gb of data in the past week with at&t. we are always on wifi like 90% of the time. same setup on our phones we had with verizon and tmobile. is this normal for the note 2 and one x? google voice works over wifi right? i just cannot figure this out. at this rate id go over our 4gb data plan well within a month.
if this keeps up i may have to go back to tmobile with their unlimited data.
Check out whats using your data. Settings/Data usage. Should be easy to identify the culprit

That is correct... If you are connected via wifi then your data usage should not be charged.

Are you sure you are connected to the wifi? I had the same problem thinking I was connect and later found out I wasn't. Also make sure your router is connected to the Internet also.

Negative, its a sim toolkit from my provider videotron. i need it but i dont want to see it. they say its to let me know if i am on their network or not. it says "zone" or "out of zone".
the funny thing is, i have unlimited north-america calls (long distances and locals, 24/7)..

OP, check this thread out for Sim Toolkit (stk.apk) which is why you're seeing this as I think it's part of stock:

It won't remove the notifications but help you better understand its purpose.
i understand the purpose of it, but i want to remove it anyways. Its wasting space.

I did follow the link and tried an app suggested in one of those. and this is what i got "app not installed" and a DONE button appeared...

I have searched a few times for a resolution to this problem, but have been unable to find one that works. I have noticed that when the media server shows up under my battery stats screen I usually have an update waiting on play store.
Is there any way play store could be the cause?
In other posts I see people complaining of 10-20% battery consumption. Mine has hit up to ~70% battery consumption.

Turn your data off when you're not using it. But most likely it's an app causing a wakelock.

Ok this may be a dead question, but something I would like to add. For the past two days I have not seen the media server in my battery stats. This is a shot of what I saw this evening. Which this is what I think my battery page should look like. I have not made any changes that would explain why it's not showing up. Any ideas or comments appreciated.

Not today, not sure about yesterday. This is not the only time it has not shown up for a few days. I also have not had any app updates. I think it's like bilgerryan stated that something is causing a wake lock but I close out apps when I finish. And usually use avg task killer to kill most running tasks.
