Mod please move if this doesn't fit here. Thanks
Alright so i installed better batter stats and noticed that i had about 30 minutes of kernel wakelock from fast dormancy? So i wanted to see if disabling helps.
First thing i tried was dialing *#9900# to get sysdump menu. Which did not have the fast dormancy disable like other phones? See attached pics.
Next i downloaded SQlite editor and navigated to data>data>com.android.providers.telephony
There were mmssms.db, nwk_info.db, and telephony.db.
Now from some stuff online first i checked telephony.db and after looking through over 1300 entries a few times i didn't see anything that had to do with dormancy.
Next i looked into mmssms.db and there was nothing in there.
Lastly i checked nwk_info.db which had a few things on fast dormancy. See pics
Both dormpolicy and nwkinfo had stuff related to fast dormancy. As you can see from the pics attached i tried changing some values in nwkinfo from on to off and in dormpolicy i changed one of the offtime values from 3.5 to 0 and i still seem to get dormancy kernel wake lock?
Any ideas?
There are calls in /system/csc/customer.xml
Did you try to change those?

30 minutes after how much battery time? After about 8 hours, 30 mins sounds right. Also, what firmware? DB or DL?
Latest update so DL I think. And 30 minutes after maybe 6 hours I can't remember ?
No I haven't tried editing the XML? No idea how

Root explorer. I deleated all the crap in there but you can try changing the fast dormancy lines that have 3.5 to 0

That might give you worse FD battery life. AT&T network requires FD to work right from what i understand.
Former note 1 and 2 owner to s4 and I can tell you from my experience disabling fd is absolutely a great battery saver

There is a fast dormancy app in the market that you can use to disable this process. It does say its for the i9300, not sure if it will work for the S4. I've installed it and am trying it out right now. It says that its disable the fast dormancy process by adding two lines of code to the nwk_info.db line.
Ya I'm gonna try the app
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Please update if the app works on our phones, once you are done testing.
Downloaded the app and disabled FD then rebooted and started better batt stats from scratch and its still showing FD wake lock. Not much but its still appearing there ...

Look in the thread about the service menu. There is a native menu option to disable fast dormancy in the service menu. I used quick shortcut maker from market to open sec_ril_dump. And just toggled the fast dormancy button.

Can you please connect the dots a bit for me? I can't figure out how to get this menu option up that you've apparently found. I tried all of these and can't find it:
Sysdump menu *#9900#
Service menu *#0*#
*#1234# to check software version of phone.
*#12580*369# to check software and hardware information.
*#0228# Battery status (ADC, RSSI reading)
*#0011# Service Menu
I don't think he is talking about the 9900 menu there is a thread on another menu when dialing *#9090#

Yes, you should be able to make the changes in CSC then do a Clear Data for CSC in apps.
the reason the i9300 needed the fast dormancy app was because it was an international phone, and some carriers did/didn't implement it on the network side, but Samsung put it there for those who did. it made data mess up on some networks (att was one) who didn't take use it. now the i337 is an att phone, so I would assume the fast dormancy is as it should be, but thats only the logical conclusion, clearly, things like logic don't seem to mean anything to att..

When I say "Hi Galaxy" with the screen off, S-Voice opens, but does not listen until I say the phrase a second time. Has anyone else encountered this? I am rooted, with Xposed installed.
Edit:
I'd really like to get to the bottom of this issue, if someone with some experience could give me some feedback. I believe I first attempted to use S-Voice after rooting with root de la vega. It has never opened in listening mode (launched from app drawer or with the screen off feature), even after upgrading to MJ7 (kept root with survival mode in SuperSU), or flashing Beans Rom in SafeStrap. This has led me to believe this is a hardware or kernel issue, but I'm not the most knowledgeable person about these things. Therefore, any feedback would be much appreciated! TIA
Thank you for your feedback

Update 2: I now use Tasker to close S-Voice when it opens, and start Google Voice Search! Doesn't listen as quickly as the Moto X, takes about 3 seconds, but no complaints here!

I am also having the issue. When I say "Hi Galaxy" or when I just open S Voice it does not open in listen mode. Any ideas?
Same issue here, no luck with clearing data or cash for the app. I'd be fine with the Tasker to Google Search deal but I was having fun with the turning on/off bluetooth and wifi using voice and a few other features S-Voice has, despite being not as reliable. I just went ahead and installed utter to be able to get the functionality of both, but I can't say my battery life is all that great with so many different things going on at once now.

You might not want to close S-voice, but rather just open Google now on top of it. If you close it, I don't think the screen-off "Hi galaxy" command will work next time around.
I have the same issue... Then I realized something. I have Pebble app for my SmartWatch. I disabled the accessibility service for pebble and it works now. So is it pebble or s voice?

Can you share that tasker profile please. I can't use that damn app to save my life. I started using automateit pro because it dumbs it down but that app won't open voice search only the regular Google app.

Create a profile, select application, select S-voice, delect new task, new task, name it .. In the task edit screen, create action, app, load app, and select Voice Search, and don't make any changes in the action edit screen.. make sure it's active on the profile tab, and try it out.. xda has a great tasker tutorial on youtube!

I was worried about that when I created that task.. Tasker could not seem to close S-voice so it didn't effect me. When I realized it wasn't closing, I removed that action. I am interested in how the note 3s always listening feature differs from Motos 8x technology. And if Utter! has the potential of being this energy efficient?

Bump - OP updated
Today FoxFi said it needed to install VPN certificates on my Note 3, then required I set up a PIN/Pattern on the lock screen. I hate mandatory locks on my phone and don't want it. I use App Protector for the apps I want locked. I've used FoxFi for a couple of weeks now and it just did this today. I know I read somewhere that you don't need FoxFi to enable the Mobile HotSpot, but mine doesn't launch without it. I am rooted and hoping that something else is available.
Any ideas?
Yeah I'd like to know what this is about as well. I'm getting the same message now. Like u said there is another way but I liked FoxFi and it works well. Idk what to do. I hit install and then u have the option to choose to use it for a VPN and apps or WiFi? I'd like to here from someone who knows a bit more about this before I go doing anything. By the way I am Not rooted either. Still 100% stock.

I cannot thank you enough! It's strange but from last night to today it started prompting me for the lockscreen. It's pretty annoying to have that enabled and I was already going to look for a new method when I can across this post. Once again thanks a million!

No problem I'm glad I saw your post. It's what caught my attention to it so I went n looked at the app in the playstore to see if maybe it was because of an update and after reading through the description of the app I noticed way at the bottom that it said to do that for it to work with the galaxy s4. I figured they're similar phones so I gave it a shot and it did! We helped each other man! Without your post I would've never bothered to read that completely.

Thank you soo of much! I was pissed when they updated it. You had to choose between a pain in the ass combo for your lock screen or no lock screen at all. Now I can have my one swipe lock screen like I had before. I don't know why they changed the way it works for the note 3. Maybe for the people who couldn't figure out to press the home button.

As far as I know, Verizon thinks you have the hotspot active, but foxfi seems to spoof the subscription check for whether you have Verizon tethering or not. I would assume the VPN setup is to link the tethered devices so that all data appears to go through the phone connection and not the tether. Built in tethering popping up is probably the only way to turn the wifi into a router-like device.
It does work, and while I only tethered a few things while on vacation, Verizon has not gotten mad at me yet.
I would expect FoxFi to continue working on it, and restore their app to the old functionality of not using the built in tethering once they figure out how to make it work.
This doesn't seem to work on Kitkat... anyone know what else to try short of wiping the phone and starting fresh?
i never set a password on credential storage and the option to delete it is grayed out.... I've also tried several ways with no lock screen, PIN lock, Pattern lock... doesn't seem to get past this message.....

Same thing here it doesn't work on NC4 firmware. I asked in my own thread on how the devs are bypassing the tether check but no one will answer me. I asked a long time ago and again last night. Still no answer.

I'm not rooted. I have been using FoxFi before and after Kitkat. The update before the one that fixed it for Kitkat was where mine required a screen lock and certificates, but I had a screen lock on my phones for years, so it wasn't a big deal for me. The newest update that allows it to work with 4.4.2 is a bit annoying (having to randomly re-authorize it when the security asks for permission) and then having to use it's short cut to fool the phone into believing you have a hot spot subscription...but I burned over 120 gig last billing cycle and find it easier than some of the other wifi tether masks.
How could i keep GPS turn ON even if the user disable it manually?
Any trick or ideas? Could be for any device, rooted , busybox, etc.
I just need an idea of how i could keep the gps always on. It is for tracking purpose of employees. Sometimes they turn location off manually, and i could not monitor their location.
Any apk or application ready for this? Please PM me or post below. Any trick is ok, xpose modifications, rooted modifications, etc, but it must work, thats the idea.
Devices: Usually new ones 4.x OS
Waiting your feedback experts!

You could create a service with a BroadcastReceiver which listens for any change in the GPS setting and then re-enables the GPS. That could work without root though I'm not sure if such a Broadcast exists.
The other option would be to use xposed and hook the method which sets the GPS in the settings.

Remember that the idea is to have gps always on. Even if the user manually unclick it on the menu bar, it is reactivated again internally.

The problem with Amplify is due to some incompability with the 64bit architecture. Some users already reported some logs to the DEV and he's working on it. Expect some news really soon
Anyone using NotifyClean?
I used to use it on my S4, and it somehow made my phone permanently slow (hangs and freezes at times), even after being uninstalled.
Haven't installed that module on my S6 yet.
