Hi, I have recently installed Lollipop via Kies, i always used to have my wifi timer setup to auto come on at certain times, in Lollipop i cannoy find the option now, unless its somewhere i havn't spotted yet?
Does anyone know if its still there anywhere?
There are apps but i tried these a long time ago and they didn't seem to bring the wifi on via just a timer alone and it was just automatic when it detected the signal, or by location which i didn't want as i felt this would consume more battery than needed when all i needed was it to come on via a timer only (not keep checking all the time for a signal)
Regards
James

It depends mostly on the rom and not the OS version.
Stock, CM and GPE all come with different sets of features.
CM12 is more customizable. Chances are that CM12 will have this feature. I don't use it so I can't tell for sure.

i have focus sim unlocked on att. i don't have any problem in installing apps from market place but i am not getting auto updates for apps. when i search for any app that i already installed , apps that are having updates it shows up and when i click update it updates. but itz painful and time consuming in searching for the updates that i already installed. do any one having similar issue? if there is a solution for this please leave a post. thanks in advance
I'm also having this issue and need help for a solution as well!!
The explanation is simple: the available bandwidth is the same while the number of phones and app checks has increased.
So, this not actually an issue, this happens. If you're mainly using 3G connection, this is to be expected.
3G connection is sensibly slower than WiFi and the number of apps has gone past 30k, thus some checks will time out.
It is recommended that you use USB/WiFi connection to sync from time to tome to prevent this happening very often.
I doubt that's the problem.
My girlfriend also has a Samsung Focus (updated to mango), and we have some of the same apps/games...when one has an update on her phone the marketplace tile alerts her, but mine doesn't show anything unless I search for the app in the market and check it, then it tells me there's an update, not sure what to do.
definitely a big issue... it has been a month since my marketplace has stopped showing any app update already. The updates are there when I manually search for it. It was fine for the past 9 months until now.
Weird thing is both my girlfriend and me are using unbranded Optimus 7, same carrier, same account/phone settings. but she keeps getting new update alert almost everyday, which I did not, even for the same apps.
Tried connected via 3d/wifi/usb all day long, tried guessing and uninstalling app which maybe conflicting, etc... none helped.
anybody else find a fix yet? please share
Still no luck...
Maybe its because I did the force update to Mango (my girlfriend didn't to that and hers works fine) so I have a bad feeling it was because of that, and no one seems to have a solution. I've reset my phone, re-installed apps, etc.
This topic has been discussed a lot of times on internet but I am really concerned about fixing my phone as no matter what, if i am on 2G, 3G or WIFI I stop having notification after 15-20 minutes. In fact I tried PINGING my device and PING stops really after 15 minutes. Anyways, currently I am desperately waiting for 4.3 and there is just no NEWS of the RELEASE DATE whatsoever. But also I am not much into CUSTOM ROM or KERNELS but was wondering if I can only update the KERNEL version (i.e., FRANCO if any one suggest) and solve this issue. I want to be remain on STOCK ANDROID but is it possible to only upgrade the kernel ?
Also I would need tutorial for the quickest root and the safest kernel to follow and keep upgrading it all the time. Thank you.

The choices and threads are out there for you if this is truly bothering you. You can stay stock and flash a couple of files to test out if your issue is fixed. Rooting is not the end of the world and you can always go back. As for tools there are multiple stickied root methods just choose one. Also no guarantee 4.3 fixes the issue. I flashed a couple files from Development in the Wifi/Fix thread and my problems went away. May for you it may be the prima drivers but you wont know until you do it

I will be still waiting till 4.3 is released but just one thing I wanted to confirm when you said your problem was FIXED. Was it on both 3G / WiFi because this issue occurs on both interface.
Are there any other particular apps that still gets notification after everyone don't?

any APP has the same issue. I use the following and in everything it is the same frustrating issue.
whatsapp
Talk.to
Email (Even if the settings are on 1 hour INBOX CHECK, it never works until i manually do the sync)
These are the only apps I always expect to notify me INSTANTLY. Also it was the same in Google talk and any other IM apps.

for me I had mostly issues on wifi and now I can ping my phone after 30 minutes and it still going. I never honestly noticed it on 3g but either way you have options try them first

Thanks but it also happens in 2G because 3G I can't use due to my work environment where I can't keep charging my phone and in 3G this phone battery drains quickly. Well, two more weeks ill wait for 4.3 and if Google is still fooling then I will go ahead with ROOT and some KERNEL experiments. Thanks a load.
Hey guys
recently i bought a Bluetooth speaker and connected it to my A3 (300FU), but now when i check the battery stats to see what is eating my battery it only shows Bluetooth (not even screen, wifi etc) [ see screenshots]
i deleted dumpstat/logcat and also wiped cache partition but it didn't help.... is there an obvious solution or am i missing something here?
*running stock Marshmellow ROM
Any help would be appreciated
i think a few users have it confirmed, Bluetooth seems to be a major drain in MM for A3FU.
i can only advise to update to a newer build. what build are you btw? do a screenshot of About in Settings
i didn't have a problem until recently, when i paired my device with the bluetooth speaker.
should i reset network settings?
I've attached the screenshot.
all users who reported BT issues came from first BT pairing, just like you. and they were all on PH3.
It's a rom bug that you can only hope they notice and fix, and then it's up to you to try the new builds and see if there is any change.
But is this a bug only in the battery stats or is bluetooth actually draining the battery even if its turned off ?

Quite sure bluetooth is being the idiot here.
I do not own this device but I had this issue on my other A series device and it's because of the Nearby Device Scanning in Other Connection Settings.
This feature is included after updating to Mashmallow and it causes your Bluetooth to be always ON if the feature is ON(By default its ON so go and turn it off).
BTW, how did you get the battery graph on Mashmallow? Didn't Samsung removed it since Lollipop? I can't access it on my device, my sister's J7 and my mom's S7 edge

Nearby device scanning is turned to off, should i reset network settings? maybe that way it will correct the readings
For the Battery stats --> Settings -->at the System section search for Battery--> Battery usage, or maybe just use S finder
I've got the same issue. Untill I switch Bluetooth on, normal battery stats, as soon as I do, everything is reported as Bluetooth - no screen use, now Android System use. "Nearby Device scanning " option seems to have no effect.
I also had this issue when I upgraded to MM (build CPI1)... even tried factory reset, but problem persisted.
I think it's a bug in the Samsung ROM, no way to get rid of it without a software upgrade.
Same "bug" with my A300FU.
Tried everything...
Installed earlier firmware (rom) with odin (in which I did not have the exaggerated Bluetooth usage)
Installed latest firmware again
Full wipe
Install latest firmware
After installing each rim I have the high Bluetooth usage from the start without installing any app
My colleague with identical A300FU did have the same with the previous 6.0.1 rom, bit after OTA update it dissappeared on his device
So it has to do something with my setup....
According to the battery gauge Bluetooth is using approx 4mAh PER SECOND
Also explored the option to modify the power profile.xml in the framework-res.apk but to no avail (keep getting bootloop)
*frustrated*
Anyone an idea?
Flashing cm12 or cm13 and then reverting to stock 6.0.1 is also not a solution to this issue......
My Wife's Galaxy A5 (2015) also has this bug. All 6.0 firmwares - even latest from January. So stupid - I can't belive that they can't see this bug. There is no battery drain - only bad statistics. But its very anoying because You cant check how long screen was used etc. Scaning of near devices is disabled too - didnt help. Dammed.
Have You find any solution?
I never looked at that screen before, but I recently noticed this too and it freaked me out at first. After testing it tho, I was gonna post and ask other peoples' experience, but then I found this thread.
What I get is that initially my batterystats are recorded normally, but then when i turn on bluetooth, even if it's for 1 second, all stats disappear and bluetooth appears in that list with what appears to be a huge (and impossible) drain.

I normally have bluetooth on, and I don't actually notice my battery draining any faster than when it's off. Also, if the computed battery usage on this was accurate on my phone, I would run out of power in a matter of seconds. So it's definately a bug in the battery stats.

I beg to differ! I flashed lollypop and the problem disappears then, but it's there on both marshmallow builds for our country, even when starting fresh after a data wipe.
Which roms have you tried? And what rom is your colleague on after the OTA that fixed it? Buildnumbers would really help
For me: U1CPH3 and S1CPL1 both have this issue
It seems, for me at least, that after the December OTA security update the bug dissappear and i am now getting normal battery readings.

Al right, thanks! Latest rom/update for my country is from december too, but i still have it.
So i'll try downloading a jan 2017 rom for a different country and see what happens
Update:
Installed the S1CQA2 firmware, which should be the latest, and the bug is still there. Just with less unbelievable numbers and it takes a little while longer for it to make all other stats disappear.
Update2:
Looked into the powerprofiles.xml too, but the marshmallow one (which has this issue) is identical to the lollipop one (that doesn't have this issue). Also all there is to edit in there is the amperage usage for actual A2DP, but according to this https://source.android.com/devices/tech/power/values.html a lot of battery usage is just pushed to the batterystats service by the controller.
Now wondering what files are associated to the bluetooth controller. Simply replacing the bluetooth.apk from a different rom where this is working does not solve it either.
After some more digging, and succesfully porting the S5 bluetooth files to my phone, i found out that the samsung S5 suffers from this issue as well andthus the issue was still not fixed
Also, judging from other posts in other forums it appears the Note 4 has it too.
Therefore I think it is a touchwiz bug, and I am clueless on what to try anymore.
This is my third post in this thread in a row but editing my previous posts here might make the new info go unnoticed...
So this is just a heads up that the italian A300FU1CQC2 firmware has finally fixed this bug for me! :victory:
I have had bluetooth on (idle) all day now and it doesn't show up in battery stats at all.
great effort mate, really love it when people monitor the release stream .

Thanks for the heads up... I've just flashed the update, and I can confirm that also for me this new firmware solves the BT issue. :good:
Hello - my issue is this:
Data/LTE fix? Stops working after a few minutes - need to reset phone
N910F - tried stock, and various roms - same issue (actually i think on stock it worked best but im unsure now)
cant find a fix anywhere - any good souls out there who know what to do?
your time is much appreciated.
Does only the LTE connection stop working (so it goes down to H+ for example) or your mobile data connection in general?

Good Question.
No it's still up and the connection shows that only "upload" up arrow is lighting up, but the down arrow stops lighting up.
It may sound super stupid, but can you access the internet or do any other internet related applications work? I assume it doesn't, otherwise you wouldn't have started this thread, but I just want to ensure.
Because at the moment, it sounds like a bug with the "connection display" to me.

I WISH it was just that
unfortunately, all internet applications stop working - i contacted the telephone company and they agreed to reset the connection and that I should turn off and turn on my phone in about 15 minutes - see how it is then. Will post my findings later - there are many threads on this topic on google - but I felt better posting here on XDA. Appreciate the help in diagnosing.
You're welcome!
Just post your results later if possible.
Did you modify your device before the problem accured? Maybe it's the fault of root or a custom ROM you are using?
still nothing - going to use stock rom and test the findings. I dont want to sell the phone but I feel I have to now...
According to your last post, I assume you're using a custom ROM? If yes, got back to stock ROM and test it again, just as you said. I guess your custom ROM (if you're using one) is the problem.
not fixed - going to take to a service shop
Hmm, that's a huge mess. Do you still have warranty? (Although I guess it's voided by playing around with custom ROMs...)
And do things like normal calls work?
Hi there, here is my problem.
I flashed Havoc V2 latest rom and i experience random reboots or shutdowns, including time reset. Problem is that i am away from PC for a few days and i can't try many things since i don't use an sd card, so full wipe is not an option right now.
Also, i noticed that time and date is reseting to rom's build date and not at a random one. Any ideas what is going wrong and how can i fix it will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Any chance of using OTG +USB stick?
Regarding time : did you try to uncheck automatically time taken from network to a manual setting?

That's not an option right now, but if i find a USB stick i'm gonna give it a try with a different rom.
I'm having the time reset prob when time is set to manual, in network mode seems ok, but reboots/shutdown are still happening.
I was thinking maybe its a modem issue since i never flashed one (maybe there is an updated version that i missed, phone was sitting powered off with an old rr version for a long time) or a kernel issue, but i didn't see any reports on the havoc thread.

It doesn't help you right now but I've tested several Q ROMs and I've found crDroid 6.9 the most stable one.
With Havoc and AOSP I had issues while lineage doesn't offer that many individuality.
Used RR 7 by mobspyguy myself before switching as it got any longer patches.
Gotta admit that mine is only a backup device and I don't use it longer then 5 hours.
If you used the latest firmware before switching to custom ROM there's no newer modem anyhow.
Thanks a lot for the info. I'm gonna flash another rom when i get the chance to see if the problem is rom related and see how it works.
Thanks again

the emmc is dying
you can try this https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/100-fix-galaxy-note-4-emmc-error-random-t3859448
or try this
as long as you can (until reboots) - download quickly an app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl&hl=en
this app will stop the phone going in deep sleep
launch the app Wake Lock PowerManager - set it on partial wakeup (level 4), it's doing it's job pretty well , no big deal on battery consumption
my son has it a 910F and it's still working after 5 months with this app installed
