I had this problem and thought its a bug. Actually it's not. You recalled you had *on* the google services to allow wifi to pin point your location?
Here's how you off it. Go to wi-fi setting. press menu -> advanced, uncheck the *Scanning always available*
That will do.

Thanks a lot!!!!

The Wakelock thread

Just thought I'd start a thread for people to post and diagnosis their wakelocks. I have a *backup* wakelock on a completely stock sgs3. Here's a screen shot. Any help? Can't for the life of me figure it out. Android system use is at 20% on the stock battery app.

uncheck the backup box in settings. See if that helps.

I did see one thread that recommended that but there's gotta be a better fix than that right?

DLNA

Hey guys...Not sure what this is, why it's using so much battery, and why it won't let me stop it. I've looked around and have only seen things about miracast... Which I'm not using. So needless to say, I'm pretty confused.
Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

That's the media streamer services. Make sure miracast is turned off.

I did... Weirdly, none of that stuff was turned on. I finally was able to disable the whole dlna app... I guess unless I want to stream media (which I don't) I won't miss it.

How's S-Voice?

It's been a while since I used S-Voice and from what I remember it was horrendous. Has it gotten better? What features are most useful? Or do you just turn it off?

I always turn off those apps. Google now is the way to go.

I am surprised

Is it any fix to stop wifi reconnect automatically?

I have sph-l720 with OD2,its wifi still reconnect to wifi automatically although the wifi is turned off.
How to prevent this from happening to increase battery life?
