As many may have experienced, when connected to wifi after a few hours, WiFi stays on but disconnects from the access point for no reason. It seems to happen on the s6,s s5 and s4 on lollipop. Was I'm Howard forums and someone with an s4 posted something that may work.. Touchwiz has a wifi power safe option turned on. His will show how to turn it off.
Dial *#0011#
Then when the information screen shows up, hit "more" up top. Then hit wifi.
When the new screen comes up, just hit wifi powersave off to turn off the powersave feature. Haven't test for long. Let me know in the comments if it helps
Does nothing for me I'm afraid. Is this any different to the wifi setting "keep wifi on during sleep"?
Does also nothing for me...says wrong.. Mmh
Are you guys using the stock dialer?
I remember the code wasn't working with 3rd party dialer I was using before.

That is switch for the power save mode. It will disconnect wifi for a few seconds.
No noticable change for me, no bandwith or signal strenght increase on 5GHz
I see I'll try it the next few days and report back ☺

Haven't had the issue since. I'm not sure if it's a firmware thing but it should not turn off wifi. This is how is supposed to look
This setting destroyed my standby battery life.
It will disconnect wifi for a few seconds.

S6 Disconnect Problem
I had the same issue and solved it by changing my routers security from WPA2/Mixed Mode to WPA2 Personal. Since this change, it works fine on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Tried EVERYTHING else first
this is an extremely annoying bug....data usage has increased significantly because staying on wifi is such a pain, rather just use mobile data. i've heard about the security change, but that's something I can do at home, nothing I can do at work unless I somehow convince corporate IT to change their wireless settings? haha, fat chance.
i just want to know did the change the OP suggested actually work? No one has reported that it actually works other than that it killed their standby time. anyone?
Worked for me, fido galaxy s6 edge thanks

Can anyone explain why I have 100% time without signal in cell standby. I used my phone all day sending texts and making calls. Also, the signal bar is constantly yellow on the battery graph. Should this be green?
Cheers

Confirmed. thanks. very random
Thanks confirmed that temporarily fixes the 100% The captivate did this as well when I had it but always showed 50 percent without signal and you could turn on airplane mode and turn it off to fix it. However that method doesn't seem to work for this but the about phone method does

Got my galaxy yesterday and I have this bug too. I was a little scared because on S1 it meant battery drain. When I woke up this morning I had 99% battery after 9 hours since charging. But I was still curious and thats why Im here.
Glad its nothing serious Hope it will go away when I finally choose a custom rom to flash...
EDIT: just noticed the last reply date, well sorry, found this thread through search. (Hey at least I didnt create a new thread asking the same thing!)
Hi all,
I've tried just about all the 3.2 roms and all of them seem to have the same issue where the rest mode is interrupted often, screen turns on by itself.
Is it one of my apps that could be causing this, or does everyone see this type of issue?
Anyone have an idea how i can track down the cause, in the case of an app being the problem ?
I could try turning off Wifi at night to see if the drain continues , and see if its an app that is connecting regularly....

Some apps like TrafficInfo can help you monitoring which apps/processes use your bandwith. It can give you some clues if a specific app is draining your battery.
Same problem for me..
I have tested all 3.2 Acer based ROM, only solution for me is Airplane Mode..
I have also had this problem with my Iconia. After I flashed the Kernel below, I have had no problems with the screen turning on by itself. I have only used it a few days, but untill now is good.
I don't know if this kernel work with OC/UV since I don't use it.
I found the kernel in the [KERNEL] Stock/HV/Taboonay thread.

I've been having the same issues after trying Taboonay-2.2, thor and someone elses ROM. Have tried airplane mode, disable wifi when screen off etc.
I'm going to flash back to a 3.1 ROM and see if there is a difference or if I'm imagining things.
Same here too!
After I switched to diff ROM, my Tablet is not shutting down anymore.

Funny, but I haven't had that problem since 3.01, but then again I have my tab set to disconnect wifi when screen goes off. Not sure if it's the ROM, or my settings.

Had mine set to that for the last 3 days or so and at times it's perfect for hours then other times it's on/off every few minutes so I don't think it's a setting problem.

Turn airplane mode on (this will disconnect your wifi), then reconnect wifi.
Set wifi disconnect policy to "when screen turns off".
Using the settings listed above, I've never had my tab wake up prematurely, never frozen from wake up, etc.
Anybody else seeing that the system UI is frequently using GPS?? Approximately every 15 minutes
Why?
Can anybody confirm?

Google Now uses the GPS to check your location if you let it. On my old phone too (AT&T Galaxy S II running AOKP JB) I noticed the same about every 10-15 minutes. I don't think it has to do with LTE though.

Not got the phone yet but does it still do this with lte disabled? Might be its not able to get position data from cell towers on lte so it defaults to GPS instead.

Yes sorry guys I corrected the original post, it's happening every 15 minutes approximately, but not just LTE, on WiFi, LTE, H+.. doesn't matter.
App running GPS is system UI

Think I might have figured this out. GPS data location when indoors (satellite's unavailable) is impaired with LTE on.

This doesn't solve the issue it only prevents data being used for GPS lock.
But yes if the problem exists it will stop the battery being drained
I need some help. My wifi just keeps randomly turning on throughout the day and its really annoying. I checked my settings and im pretty sure there is nothing that would do that but I could be wrong. Anyone had the same issue? Anyone know how to fix it?

Im using qualcomm battery guru and I went to the app to check my battery savings and I came across the manage wifi option. It basically says it will turn your wifi on and off based on your previous usage. Ill report back in a little wilhile to see if that fixed my issue.

I don't use this app so I'm not sure if that's necessarily the issue, unless something similar is built into the Qualcomm chipset itself. It does seem to always enable itself at certain points of the day, I'm going to keep an eye out for a correlation.
So ever since disabling WiFi yesterday it hadn't turned on, and I thought it might have fixed itself. Today, I went the whole morning without WiFi and without touching the phone and when I looked at it later on it was enabled. I checked the battery stats and noticed that WiFi seemed to automatically enable itself the moment I woke up the screen to check a message a little while earlier.
I've also noticed that when this happens, it won't actually connect to my WiFi network when it's in range like it's not actually scanning for any networks. It also won't let me know of any open access points. If I disable and enable WiFI again, it connects like it should, or if I go into Settings -> Wireless, it'll scan for networks and connect fine as well.
It seems like this is a software bug that Samsung needs to address.
Hey everybody!
I have noticed some strange behavior with my TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS.
During the day, the power consumption is moderate and absolutely acceptable. However, the power consumption is significantly increased at night.
Looking for the cause, I found out with the help of Battery Historian that the GPS is obviously the reason.
When I go to sleep, I always turn on Airplane Mode on the watch to further limit all network activity and save power, and turn it off accordingly after I get up.
I have attached a screenshot from Battery Historian. I have inserted the vertical red bars as markers, when the Airplane Mode was activated or deactivated by me.
The process that activates the GPS seems to be Wear OS itself (com.google.android.wearable.app).
I had also already reset the watch to factory settings.
The first night, interestingly, GPS is only ever activated briefly. Whereas on the second night GPS is almost constantly active.
Before the factory reset, the GPS behavior looked similar.
So far, I had always left GPS activated on the watch, since I assumed that it would also be deactivated when Airplane Mode was activated. However, a look into the settings told me that this is not the case.
Ultimately, I do not understand why the watch wants to access the GPS constantly and almost permanently when Airplane Mode is active.

I've exactly the same problem. I was getting crazy as the watch consumed 3 time more battery overnight with airplane mode than during the day.
Maybe the problem is related to not having a connection to the phone. As far as I know, when the watch is connected to the phone, it doesn't use its own GPS. I assume there must be some internal process (like updating the weather) that tries to get GPS signal.
I'll try different setting combination on the next nights
Dear friends,
I came here for the same exact issue and I'm glad it is a known bug and it was detected.
I'm asking to the OP which is the app you use to have that battery stats. I need it also
Thanks in advance
