WiFi phone - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hi I was just wondering what can I delete in my system app/ wakeblock to just have my phone work only on WiFi. I don't have service anymore and I know that having all the service stuff on here drains my battery. Or dose it not matter? Thanks!

I would honestly leave it, removing could actually cause drain. Just put it in AP mode and use WiFi

That's what I was thinking. ^^^

I know from experience. That stuff is built into the framework. Basically so deeply integrated that you would have to modify other things that I'm not even gonna go into.

New ATT trend?

Hi, is it possible to remove the annoying "wifi connected" from the notification shade? it was on the htc one aswell. it seems that att keeps copying verizon, and their stupid additions to the software of a phone.
I know it goes away when you turn the wifi off, but i want to use wifi without having to see "wifi connected">
thanks
Not possible until someone develops a rom without it. Every company adds stuff to the software though, not just those two. At least there isn't a globe on the Note 2's home button like VZW lol
Go to applications manager and disable the stupid at&t WiFi app. That should fix it

It doesn't.
Disabling at&t hot spots app worked for me

All of these software additions seem stupid to us here at xda because they are put there with us powerusers in mind. They are simply trying to help those who are as tech savvy have an enjoyable experience with their hand held computers that happen to be able to call people.

If you are rooted you should check the dev section. I think someone posted a mod with it removed

Android OS background data use?

My data use in the background by my os is using a lot of data. Is this abnormal for a week of use? Seems excessive to me
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
My HTC one only uses about 2mb of data per day for comparison.

Att has nothing to do with it...it has to be one of your apps...something is constantly syncing/and or jot stopping its data use...I suggest a factory reset through kies or odin if rebooting the phone doesnt resolve the issue

I faced the same problem, issue was somewhat with auto backup of data, sync of app data & people details in google account,
BUT the main culprit in my case was uTorrent application.
Even though there was no torrent added to it, i didn't even opened it,
it was using 1GB data daily on WiFi and in data usage it was coming under Android OS usage. I uninstalled it, everything went back to normal.
So try to look for such apps which eat up your data in background, it may not be an error of android OS as such.
Hope this helps, Press THANKS if it did help you
Enjoy

You can also download F DROID which is an alternative market and find AdAway on there. You'll be able up to update the app from F DROID too.

Culprit of battery on our note is samsung.android.strokesearch
Force stop it if you are not rooted from going in th e battery stats option..
Or freeze it using titanium backup..if you are rooted...
You will definitely get 20% better battery life....as it was consuming 32%battery on my note 10.1 2014..
However dont kno what this process is related to...
It did not affected my s pen experience any way...

how did you find out what was draining your battery so much? Just the battery panel in settings or third party app?
Battery panel..and one thing more its better to freeze this...bcoz I have seen that its starts itself up automatically...so it pain in ass
Force closing it again and again...
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Or go to Settings and disable Pen Detection. That way if the S-pen is not detached, the service will not run. Freezing the service entirely is not wise.

OmegaRom Find My Mobile not working?

So the other day I was going through my settings since I'm fairly new to the S5 and noticed there was a feature that was just like the windows phone find my phone but a little better. I tried to use it and turn it on but after going back to the original security page it still says off or when I add a number to the part where it will notify you when the Sim I changed it doesn't save the number. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm also using the tmobile variant of the s5

I am also using Omega ROM. And it is working in mine. Did you uninstalled or froze any system apps?... It might be due to that.

After reading around and searching. The Samsung security feature is not on the t-mobile variant. The t-mobile one used lookout instead of findmymobile
