[Q] WiFi not turning on and other problems - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

A relative has recently given me there Note 10.1 2014 LTE (Model number: p605) which is currently encountering some issues, in the hope that I will sort it out for them. The issues are all to do with the WiFi.
The device has absolutely no modifications, and running the stock ROM. Here is a screenshot from the "About" section:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The problem is that WiFi sometimes refuses to turn on. You slide the toggle, and then it just turns grey:
After a minute or so, it will then return to the off state. The funny thing is, rebooting the tablet will temporarily fix the issue, allowing WiFi to be turned on again. However, once idling for a few hours, the issue will return.
My relative says that this issue never happened on JB, but only started happening once upgrading to KK. So my question is: have any other p605 owners experienced this? If so, how did they fix it? If nobody has experienced this, could anybody recommend a good way to fix this? I was thinking about a factory reset, but this should be a last resort, as they really don't want to loose all of there data!
Thanks for the help!

Battery drain problems

My gpad the wifi version running Android 4.4.2 got problem in retaining battery. It drains about 4 to 5 percents of the battery when the pad is in idle for about 10 hours. The pad is new so i don't think is the app i downloaded that is causing the problems. It must be something have to do with the manufacturer. Are you folks having the same problems? May be i need to flush it and reload the android to get away the apps installed by the manufacturer. Any ideas? Thanks.
Sound better than average to me (I've had quite a few tablets&phones ... but only have this GTab for 2 days).
that is actually quite good,mine use to lose 10+%.got it to only lose about 2-3% by using clean master.just kill everything when i go sleep.give it a go.
Thanks will give it a try. There are just too much possibilities here. Need an expert to figure it out.
Download App Ops Starter from playstore. Look for apps that keep your tablet from going to sleep and turn off that setting. Also you can turn off their ability to spy on you.

[Q] Massive cell standby battery drain when on WiFi Calling

Has anyone noticed this on their Edge? I'm running the latest software release including the OTA. On my previous phone the GS4, I never had the same issue with WiFi calling and this type of drain in the same location.
So far, I've tried turning off VoLTE, but I'll need a few days to see if it makes a difference. Any one else have other suggestions?

There is a discussion going here about this:

Some are saying turning off wifi fixes it. I'm testing it now
Turning off WiFI fixes the issue. This is what you should do: Turn off wifi, fully charge phone, restart.
Thanks, I'll give that a try. It should be a permanent fix correct? Hopefully there's a software update soon.
Ok...So here are my current stats. I had Wi-Fi off the whole time. About twenty minute phone call, web browsing, about 1.5 hours of audio streaming with screen off.
I am okay with this and think it will just get better as the phone settles in.
Lost about 8-9% overnight while sleeping.

Wifi Problem - SG Ace 2x (GT-S7560M)

Hello everyone,
I'm in desperate need of some help here.
My wifi suddenly stopped working and im not quite sure how to describe it so ill post a photo.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But when the wifi does successfully turn on, it cant find any networks, it just keeps on scanning.
Please help.
Some additional information
Rom: Stock SG Ace 2x (GT-S7560M)
Phone is rooted.
I've tried everything I know that might have fixed the problem...this means factory reset (data/cache wipe), reflashing the stock rom and turning the phone off and removing the battery for a few minutes.
Update: This morning, I turned the phone off and took the battery out and left it like that for around 14 hours and when I put the battery back in the wifi was able to see networks and connect for approx 15 seconds, then it turned off again. Halp please..
I noticed that removing the battery for prolonged period of time would return the wifi to a functional state for at least 1 minute before all the networks disappear and it cant connect to the wifi again.. what do you think this means??

If you actually used any of AOSP-based ROMs, I could probably help you because you simply know what's not not working and what's buggy there... But with those stock-based hacks, god knows what can go wrong. Better ask on ROM thread than here in general Q&A.
