hello i just bought a new i9500 and i have a problem which everytime i turn on GPS for navigation, when i turn it off (and the toggle turns off) in the battery graph it stays on and kills my battery. Only after a reboot it stops... i already tried wiping data and switching rom and kernel and i hope its not a problem with my phone because i rooted it and changed rom and kernel so i hope my warrenty isnt gone... please any help will be appreciated
No one heard about this problem?

Hi
I'm currently having a problem with my S4 that is driving me mad.
Ever since I got the phone I've had a bit of a problem with the WiFi connection. I've flashed a few kernels and some seems to help the problem more than others but it's still there.
What happens is the phone connects to WiFi no problems. Then maybe after a few minutes of use the phone won't give me any data. If I search a Web page it just hangs and then says unable to display web page. I then have to knock the WiFi off and back and and it cures the problem temporarily.
Sometimes the WiFi connection can be fine and last a few hours without hanging. Other times it can last a few minutes. The WiFi icon always remains on the screen and the arrows act as if data is getting processed but nothing ever happens. The odd time it will also kick itself off the WiFi and reconnect.
It's driving me mad having to constantly knock it on and off. I'm missing WhatsApp messages for hours because of it also.
Is it a common problem? If not the phone
is still under warranty so I will have to send it back but then that's me phone less for god knows how long
Any help would be great.

if you are rooted, flash this http://www.adrive.com/public/8DJWtV/WifiFix.zip
its a fix that sorted out my wifi problems
I think you should revert back to the latest stock and reset your modem. There might be some fancy settings in your modem software that need to be turned off. I read that somewhere but can't remember which ones. Just search on here.:cyclops:
Hi guys, sorry I've just seen the replies and thank you for taking the time
I shall have a blast at both your solutions and report back.
Thank you again
Well I tried the WiFi fix but that hasn't cured my problem. Today I will flash to stock rom and then re-root and see if that makes a difference. If not its off for repair under warranty and the old Nokia 8210 will be coming out of retirement for a few days lol

May be a fix?
1) type *#0011#
2) press menu button and select wifi
3) turn off power saving mode
4) restart
Alternative
1) download terminal emulator
2) type ping google.com

Hi jehbrian.
I've never heard of this fix but I'm willing to give it a go (whats the worst that can happen lol).
Done the above and indeed you get to a point where Wifi power saving mode is on. I've knocked it off and will see how I get on in the next couple of days. It does make sense that the power saving mode could be killing the Wifi every now and again.
Thanks for the tip and have a pleasant day :fingers-crossed:
I had tried that one. It spends about 10% more battery.

Does it?
Surely there must be something else that can compensate for this loss if it means the Wifi actually works. GPS? Bluetooth? Screen brightness?
My phone is on my dock so can't verify the loss of battery.

I've never noticed the battery drain... besides, S4's battery life is bad anyway.
Any solutions ?

I've seen other people having issues with wifi but haven't read of anyone finding a fix. I'm watching the on/off switch go back and forth as my G2 continues to try and establish a connection. It connects to my router for a second, then disconnects...This has been keeping up all day.
Any suggestions?
Already reset my router. Tried to WPS push button method.

Did that. Nothing. Also tried to connect to the public wifi at work, same problem.
turn off battery saving stuff like switch off wifi when not using
Has anyone have a solution to this?
My G2 did the same thing as the OP says. It will turn itself on and off (about 5 second between each on and offs) but ONLY if the bluetooth is turned OFF. If the bluetooth is ON, no problem whatsoever. I usually left my bluetooth ON because I have a bluetooth headset and I want it to be ready every-time I want to use them. But, this night, when I turn off the bluetooth, the wifi keeps going on and off, and yes, battery drained and no internet connection for me
Please help if anyone have a solution for this. I'm in stock rom (D802) 4.4.2 rooted, with xdabbeb's camera mod, the only "root" apps that I've installed so far. Reboot and full power off is the first thing that I do, still no cure.

Sorry for replying to an old post, but I have exactly the same problem here, only difference is that in my case, charging stoped at 66%. I changed the battery, the charging issue fixed but still have the wifi/bt issue.
I flashed stock kk rom, and 3 custom roms with kk, lp and mm base, nothing..
Thx for any help.
Edit : my phone is a D800
WiFi issue is still there

Do you guys have idea about what to do? Another forum of assignmentbox describe me about WPA2 PSK but i dont know how to change that.. anyone know that????
Hi guys, what a nightmare this is! im on CarHD V2.1/Android 4.4.2 & when ever i plug my charger in on a night the bloody phone switches back on, now ive looked into this and there is two apps you can DL to see what is causing the issue they are "wakelock detector & betterbatterystats" they have now shown me that its an app or some software in my phone called "Audiomix" thats causing this does anyone know what it is and how to disable it or a go around please?
cheers..
What do you mean it turns on? The screen turns on or the phone turns on ?
If it's your phone that turns on then it's not an app. It's the kernel.

Hi Lenny yes the phone turns on fully and its really annoying cause ive got mates all over the world who are FB messaging me or sending me text at all hours so i need the phone to be off when i turn it off, many thanks
It is your current kernel that does not support offline charging. Change kernel.

Probably hardware failure.
Î tried with factory reset, and no change ....
When i turn on bluetooth while wifi is also turned on my phone freezes. Does anyone also have this issue? And is there a fix for this issue?
Stock or custom? Nougat or Oreo? BTW, no problem here.. my WiFi is always active, and in my car, also the bluetooth... No problems whatsoever. Maybe you should do a factory reset...

If you have the latest software for your device installed and factory reset didn't work, then you should RMA the device.
I have the same freeze but not with the bt on like you have , If wifi is on and device go to sleep on screen off it will stuck and hang cpu gets warm and phone hang even can't restart the regular way, the only solution is to turn off wifi before locking the phone or just set wifi to always on on setting.
Yesterday my phone totally freezed for about 15 minutes i was not about to force restart it also. My wifi was on. I turned on bluetooth to share a picture. As soon as i turned it on my phone got stuck.
