Is there a setting (or standalone app), that will turn off wifi after a set amount of time after the screen goes off? I know the stock system had much worse battery life if wifi was kept on, and I'm assuming the same with CM7?
Yes I know I can just turn it off manually, but I'd rather it just turn itself off after say five minutes of me pressing the power button or it turning the screen off itself, then restart wifi when I turn it back on.
Thanks
The app Wifi Keep Alive can keep it on, or turn off when screen turns off unless plugged in. But it doesn't have a timer feature.
You don't need an app to turn off wifi when the screen is off with CM7. Just go into menu/ settings/ wireless & network/ wifi settings/ press menu/ advanced/ and then change the wifi sleep policy to whichever setting you'd like.
On the stock rom wifi will turn off when the screen turns off. I think it is actually annoying.
Is it possible to turn off the small vibration when I turn the phone on?
settings/sound/haptic feedback...turn it off.
Hope thats what you mean, failing that you might need another rom that gives you more control over startup/shutdown setting.
NFC is turning off randomly on my S5. At first I thought I had turned it off by mistake but it is repeatedly turning off and I am now positive I am not turning it off by mistake. I don't use Power Saving Mode and my phone is always has 50% of more battery. Is anyone else facing this problem?

I just tested this, it is from TURNING YOUR PHONE ON AND OFF. If you turn on s beam, then turn the device off, when you turn it back on the s beam will in fact be OFF. Try this, may be helpful.

By turning off, did you mean a full power down? I did not power down the phone. And I don't use S Beam. The native NFC itself is turning off once in a while, without any user intervention. This is breaking some of my automated NFC taksks .. I keep hitting my programmed tags and nothing happens, and that is when I realize NFC had turned off.

Any one else facing this issue? NFC is turning off randomly on my Galaxy S5. I don't use any power saving features. I have not restarted my phone.

The issue for me, at least, is not tied to turning the phone off and on. I do notice the NFC turning off whenever I use the camera from the lock screen. Perhaps as a security feature, the phone turns off NFC if you wake the phone only in the lock screen camera (normally NFC turns on when the phone wakes), but never reactivates it.

My NFC turns off randomly as well, with no consistent cause and effect.

I tested on a friend's s5, has the same pattern. Turn NFC on, as soon as I activate camera from the lock screen, the NFC will turn off and stay off.

Did anyone ever resolve this issue?
I see the same behaviour, NFC switches itself off when i use the lock screen camera for definite.
It may also switch off occasionally after a reboot
I disabled turn by turn notifications on my Moto 360 because it drained the battery and is pretty useless while driving. The problem is I'd like to use it while walking but I can't figure out how to turn notifications back on. Has anyone figured out how to re-enable turn by turn notifications?
You still haven't got an answer to this question? I'd suggest trying Google forums or even calling them. Post back here with your results
Try Augmented SmartWatch Pro
My phone keeps turning on WIFI whenever I turn it off. I've tried all the things that could cause it but they are not working
Would help if you listed the things you have tried
Network Smart Switch disabled?
