There are multiple settings that have similar behaviour. So you need to disable all of them to do what you want. They are fairly obvious settings, you just need to take a minute or two to flip through the settings menu pages.
Another thing to try if you have any anomalous or unexpected behaviour is to wipe the system cache from recovery mode. This has no significant downside other than one longer than normal boot and will resolve a lot of one time glitches.
In the alternative, you could do a factory data reset but as you surmise that is a more drastic step and will delete user settings and files.

1. Calm down.
2. Check your time out settings. Are you SURE it is set to time out?
3. If nothing helps, use the reset to factory settings option. That will fix it but everything will get wiped so use a software backup to back up all your contacts, settings, and installed apps. Let us know how it goes.
I did a master reset and it will not time out if I get a text

I am having the same issue. I have tried doing a "factory data reset" via settings/privacy but still have the issue.
Are ya'll rooted and are ya'll using the default text app or handcent ?
Default text app. Non-rooted.
I would try Odin, factory reset wasn't really doing anything for me when I just wanted to reset my phone but Odin took me back to factory read This and make sure you have all the Samsung drivers installed first
Anyone else noticed their battery life seriously degrade from 2.3 to 2.3.3? Wish I hadn't upgraded now :O(
Just me then.
I got the opposite effect, battery life increased...you checked HTC sense for anything syncing that you don't need, email and gmail apps for any duplicate accounts or maybe WiFi is on full power?

Ah..checked some of the settings and backed off or disabled syncing. I normally disable syncing when I dont need anyway and even then I seem to be getting poor battery performance (compared to how it was).
Wifi I hardly use, its off.
I've tweaked some settings and I guess I can see how I go.
Thanks for the input.
I noticed a dip in battery life as well when I updated. After disabling HTC SENCE under accounts and sync, my battery usage went back to usable levels. I have to say, it never did come back to the pre-update usage.
I too had battery problems after the update as well as wifi issues ffs! Anyway, an update sorted the wifi but not the battery.
I was looking through the sticky and found a post by "Skullnubian" from December 2010 regarding battery problems relating to Issues After OTA Update 2.2.1. It works a treat. My battery is performing much much better today! I also have debugging "on" as apparently this shuts down a process that is constantly on in the background and also have auto brightness on....
Hi
I have found a solution for this issue that so far seems to work. After noticing that not even after resetting to factory defaults, Android System (process) persisted in misbehaving, I decided to take a different approach. The procedure involves resetting the phone to factory defaults but this time via the bootloader and recovery menu. To note that my device is not and has not yet been rooted so all options mentioned should be available in your ROM (I guess).
Procedure:
1st - Make sure that all your data is backed up(I use Mybackup pro)
2nd - Turn fast boot off: Settings>Applications>(uncheck)Fastboot
3rd - Now turn the phone Off (Power button and select power Off)
4th - Pressing the volume down button (don't release) then tap the Power button once and with the volume down key still pressed, a white (hBoot) screen should appear.
5th - First using the volume up/down to navigate through the options and power button to select: you select RECOVERY
#The phone should restart in Recovery mode: a picture of the phone with an exclamation mark is presented.
6th - Pressing VOLUME UP and POWER BUTTON should give you different option, scroll down and select Wipe data/factory reset. This should reset the Android side of things and wipe the Cache folder also.
7th - After that is done, you want to reboot the system back into the white (hBoot) screen, so select the first option and whilst rebooting keep the VOLUME DOWN button pressed. Once in the recovery menu you select FACTORY RESET.
At this point the phone should start up as normal and you set everything up again and it should be back to normal. I Would advise to wait a few minutes before restoring your backed up data, the apps should be fine to be restored.
This method worked well for me, the device has been of the charge at around 3 am [GMT] and remains with 30% at 17:45h after restoration and with normal use after about 10am.
Hope this works for you.

Hi guys,
Having an issue with my Note 4 (SM-N910F) international version since the MM 6.0.1 update. I received a further update after the MM 6.0.1 recently and thought the issue would've been fixed but alas, no!
Current version of Software: N910FXXS1DPE7.
Issue is, I have power saving mode turned on and set to: Start power saving "Immediately". However it keeps getting turned off and the screen becomes bright and I could not recognise a pattern how this occurs.
Things tried so far:
-Unticked automatic brightness and dragged all the way to low.
-Smart stay was/is never ticked.
-Auto adjust screen tone is ticked, but unticking that and also leaving automatic brightness turned off still causing power saving to automatically turn off.
-I have tried to check for this issue in Safe mode and it still happens.
Any ideas of what could be causing this? I do not want to do a factor reset for this issue and if it can be avoided after all. Safe mode is somewhat similar isn't it?
I have noticed the issue occur when I start using Gmail app (not the Inbox one), but that is just one scenario.
It seems like the light sensor gets triggered when it faces bright light and turns off power saving mode and screen becomes bright, but just could be a red herring.
Thanks a million!

I have just one problem like yours. When i receive Marshmallow i just update. But Power Saving turns off every reboot. Just back to factory settings and make your wipes. I solve this with wipes and factory.

Thanks. Yeah I am trying to avoid factory reset because can't go thorugh the process of installing apps, setting up all the various accounts etc especially since there is no built in fully restorable backup feature. Family man with kids and have enough IT stuff to do at work.
I'm on stock/non-rooted device also. And this will be my last Samung device, if not the last Android!
I understand you very well. You can use HELIUM apk to make your nandroid backups without root and make easier this tedious work. I don't have rooted my phone but helium makes all faster that, and i use also wondershare mobile go for android and PC.
I hope this helps you and you can resolve your problem. Good luck and regards from Switzerland - (Mexico)

Thanks Tavok. I did download Helium and wanted to test it out, however my phone is now staying in Power Saving mode since a few days! I have done nothing new, didn't uninstall any app or change any settings as such for it to work. This is bugging me because I want to know what fixed it so that I can re-apply the fix again if need be.
I've also read that some people are complaining about Note 4 getting stuck in Power Saving mode and I hope this is not the case with mine, now that it seems to work as expected.
I will update this thread once I check it out further.
I found out how this power saving mode gets turned off. It is the Location settings. If location is off, the power saving mode stays on (this is what it was set to hence I didn't see the issue happening). But when I changed it back to High accuracy, I started to notice the power saving getting turned off from time to time when using certain applications that require Location accuracy.
This is a bug since the MM update!!
Any ideas how to use Location accuracy and still retain Power saving mode?
I did a factory reset and the issue persisted! I tried various location settings(of the 3 choices) asks none of them helped. When set to any one of them power saving automatically turns off after a while I.e. when location needs to be detected. The only workaround us to turnoff location altogether but that messes with the auto sync of accounts! Grrrrrrrr
I verified with Samsung Tech Support that Location and Power Saving are incompatible on the Galaxy Note 4, even with the latest Android version available for the device (6.0.1) . In other words, Turning on Location while Power Saving is active will disable Power Saving after a short period. Fortunately, the problem is fixed on later devices.
Hi, its my first time writing here, but not using this forum.
First of all, sorry if my english is not good enough.
I have a Nexus 6P stock, without root or anything. This week I installed Android 7.1.2 from google beta program, after that, I was having draining battery issue, so, I checked the battery usage and discover that the Wi-Fi never stop, then, after reading on some blogs about this problem and found that I should go to WiFi setting and disable some option in "keep wifi on sleep", however, when i click on setting key, always appear this messages "Settings has stopped" and "Settings keeps stopping". Things I did:
1) Disable Wi-Fi, try clicking on setting key - still the problem
2) Restart on safe mode - still the problem
3) clean the cache from recovery mode - still the problem
Any other suggestions without restoring the cell phone?
Thanks in advance

Hi... The gear icon force close... It's a bug in this beta version, nothing you should worry about.
However, I have no idea for your battery drain...

Have You tried with - Settings - Location - press the 3 dots - Scanning - And disableing everything there ?
So...if I can't access the wifi settings is there any way to disable the wifi optimization or otherwise prevent it from dropping a wifi connection that it detects has no internet?

Unfortunately the only thing that usually fixes that is a factory reset. And if that doesn't work it's a ROM issue. Even though it's a stock ROM it happens.
Your best bet is probably a factory reset at this point. Usually if Settings or another system app is crashing on Stock, something is pretty messed up. You could either opt out of the beta and it will wipe/downgrade for you, or you can download a factory image from Google and install it manually if you're so inclined.
I have the same issue on my s6 after it updated to Nougat. Settings crashes every time if I try to open wifi, no matter what. Already wiped system cache and started in safe mode, but the problem is still there. Has anybody figured out a solution to this?
Did you try what was suggested..... ?

I tried everything except factory reset, which I don't want to do yet.
I have this problem but I'm running Nougat on a stock "International" Samsung Galaxy S7.
I've tried factory resetting which fixed the issue for a while, but now it's come back.
Possible Fix Found!

I may have found a possible fix for this issue. Head over to this Android Central Thread where I've been discussing the issue with some other people.
Good luck!
Is anyone else having this problem? A few apps – Gmail and WhatsApp that I've noticed so far – will occasionally *fetch* notifications, but otherwise I don't receive notifications until I open the relevant application. I've tried going into settings --> developer options --> standby apps, but plenty of apps are set to 'active' and it doesn't make any difference. I don't particularly want to do a factory reset, so does anyone have any alternative suggestions?
Adaptive battery - off.
Battery optimization - off on every affected apps.
Maybe look at data saving mode or something.
Check notification importance on those apps.
Clear cache (or even data if it's not causing too much trouble) from affected apps.
If those 5 options do not help, factory reset is probably the way. Or maybe I missed something.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've tried all those things Adaptive battery keeps switching itself back on, but even so, I think I managed to keep it deactivated for long enough to establish it wasn't making any difference. Very irritating. Thanks for the reply though!
