Hey guys,
I have a serious problem with my Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005.
Since last month my battery drains like hell and at the same time, my wifi works not properly. It is on but only wenn I get into the Wifi-Settings it scans the location for signals. So it doesn't get into a wifi-router itself, I have to scan the area on my own and only after that it logs into the saved routers.
I used "Wake Lock Detector" to see which application doesnt let my processor sleep and I found that 90% of the time the "wlan_ctrl_wake" lets my phone awake. What can I do? I did nothing (I think) it would make it this way! Is my Wifi damaged? Or is it only a software problem? When I go by train it is the same problem. I don't think the problem is my router or something else but my phone. It is a problem of my phone.
When I turn Wi-Fi off, it works very well.
Sincerly,
Jan
@poanda in wifi settings press menu and advance there uncheck always allow scanning snd see if this works.
Also select never in keep wifi on during sleep.

So you're saying practically I shouldn't use Wi-Fi anymore? Because I know both are checked and they were never a problem. I don't think that's the solution (but I will test your first idea).
I think it is a deeper problem. I had never such an high wake up time and I use it since April'14.
And I forgot to tell that I updatet the ROM to KOT49H.N9500XXUGNI4 (Buildnumber) two weeks before the problem.
@fatman0 @poanda I didnt say stop using wifi I gave you som3 suggestions m

I'm not sure what could be the reason in your case. But you can try this:
Enter the code *#0011#, then press Menu button > WiFi, and make sure WIFI Power Save Mode is ON?
It was checked all the time
Does this screenshot help?
Ok it's already ON.

After stupidly posting a question in the Win7 forum about disabiling the screen lock while the phone is plugged in and playing music, I was directed to an option under the 5 minutes that says "Never". However, this option does not show up on my phone...any idea why?

I think it got removed with Nodo. Becos prior to Nodo my DVP had it and after nodo,its gone.
I see, is there a workaround? As you may know, we cant edit the registry on the DVP.
I am guessing that it has to do with AMOLED screen and its issue with screen burn-in.
All of HTC's and LG's (all of which uses LCD) have the "never" option, but none of Samsung's (which has AMOLED) have that option.
Odd. The "never" option is still there for me.
Apparently yours is either different or pre-nodo which is highly doubtful because everybody has nodo.
Are you talking about the Screen time-out setting? I still have the Never option and I have NoDo w/ firmware 105.
Yep, I'm all NoDo'd up plus the security update.
And, we all are talking about screen time out settings, yeah?
yes we are talking about screen time out settings. Here is a pic to help clear things up:

Little blurry but the meaning is there.
Just checking. Seemed to be some slight confusion brewing. But, yes... the "never" option is still available for me. I also have one of the DVPs which is experiencing fewer issues than many have reported.
Related? Ask Mr. Owl.
The Never option is only available when you have the password turned off. When you turn the password feature on, the Never option disappears and you are reset to the default 5 minutes.
well this is extremely confusing. I went to settings to check out the theory to see if its true and my phone locked up - first time ever. I havent done anything with it all day, no calls or texts have come in...
I will further investigate this.
restarting the device solved the problems.
I still see no never option, even when the password is turned off.
So i've had the S4 since it got released and i like it,
but for some reason the standby doesnt work at all.. i have it set to turn off the screen after 30 secs of idle and it does not work.
anyone else having this issue?
mine works fine. see what apps have been installed. maybe some app requires not to go in standby and prevents the screen to go off

Anyone other ideas maybe?

Have similar problem - screen do not off completely. Does not mateer what time I chose, does not matter if smart stay is on or off. I do not have it's icon visible in the status bar whet it is off. Anyway screen is always on. Any help?
Same problem here. The phone just dims its screen but it never shuts it off.
This is quite annoying when the phone lights up to show the low batt warning and just drains all its remaining energy. Perfect.

Try disabling all smart stay options (smart pause could still be on).

Seems that I found the reason. But still do not have permanent solution. After restart screen went off without problem. After running some application it became constantly on again. When I closed some applications (long press home button and swipe open applications) screen also turned off normally. So probably some application makes such a problem. Have to check which one.
Im wondering if anybody is seeing these type of stats in Better Battery Stats. I see the phone is having alote of wakeups by the phone and there are several kernal wakelocks that I have not been able to find information on. Any help is much appreciated!

I do see high Android OS keep awake but it does not seems to affect the battery life much. When it is in standby for hours, the battery level hardly moves.
Battery does barely move during standby.

Thank you just did it! Any negative that disabling can cause ? What is fast dormancy used for?

LOL I like the way you ask after you have done it.
Anyway, to answer your question, it is a feature used by some mobile service providers which in effect allows for a more efficient data service by not having to wake the device up to transfer packets of data. The converse is true if your provider doesn't support it. If your provider supports it, you want to leave it switched on. If your provider doesn't support it, turn it off.
My provider doesn't support it, so I turn mine off. You will have to Google to find out for sure if yours does. Don't rely on the gimps who work in shops/manage help desk calls to know. They most often don't and then just make their answer up.
Google is the best place to check.
I enable FD for the 3 network (UK) as it supports it, no battery issues

Nothing weird. Use less brightness on your device and is all.

The only unusual thing there seems to be the carrier signal which might be weak and those could the phone out of power-saving, try to see if activating power-save mode makes any difference, also if changing the network data mode from LTE/auto to 3G/WCDMA might improve things.
Where do you find 3G on the network data mode?

3G in my device is second option:
1. LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto)
2. WCDMA/GSM (auto)
3. Only WCDMA
4. Only GSM
Thanks Joku1981 & xclub_101, but i have one last question. If i use a custom ROM/Kernel i will see a difference in my battery life or not?

Yeah I see that now, the option used to be there but I have no idea where it is now. You can find it easily though, just enter Settings then click on the search icon in the top-right corner, search for "scanning" and it'll pop up right away.
Edit: found it, Settings/Location/Menu/Scanning.

I had this as well and found a "fix" from the nexus 5 thread. Go to Settings>Location>hit the three dot menu on the top right>Scanning then turn off wifi and bluetooth. Seems as though this is the cuprite, it keep wifi on to help with GPS location.
