HI everybody,
Is there a way to permanently disable scanning always avaliable in the wifi settings?
I know that when on it consume a lot of battery and therefore I want it to always be off but for some reason, everytime that I restart my device, it turn itself back on.
Is there a mode or an app that can take care of that?
Thanks in advacne

It's disabled all the time even after several reboots, xXx 10.9 any tweaks or apps you're using? Clean flashed the rom to test it?
No, none and yes

I'm sure it's not a rom problem since it's been off when I was using 10.8 and prior versions and even on 10.9 it's off.

Hi all, new iconia owner. Root experience with phones but not much with tablets...yet. I had done some research for awhile and tried a few tablets. Decide I liked the Acer the best. Only thing was the 3.01 was draining battery with the searching for cell service issue. It seems the 3.1 update fixes this battery drainer? Yes/no?
Stock 3.1 update, yes. Custom 3.1 updates? No (conditionally! See RichardTrip's post below!).

With latest 1.7 kernel for stock/Taboonay or honeyvillain no problem disabling it
just add ro.carrier=wifi-only to your /system/build.prop
thank you!
thanks! great info, helpful as usual from here! enjoying the acer.

Thanks for the tip, works well.
Could you add that to the first post in your kernel thread, please? Very useful information that a lot of people will want to know!
Similarly if you for some unfathomable reason wish to stay on stock 3.0.1 the Acer Iconia Battery Saver ( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.interphaze.AcerIconiaPhoneDisabler&feature=search_result ) on Market will help you disable the cell search.
modify the ro.carrier thing before flash or change after the flash..? Thanks
Couldn't you also turn on airplane mode and then turn on wifi? That's what I did and it seems to make sense that it would stop the cell service search.

Well, I personally use airplane mode to turn off wifi when not needed. Then when I want to go back online I just tap on the clock and turn airplane mode back off.

Hi,
You may already know this tip but since I did some tests and measurements I thought that it's a good idea to share it.
I found that if you have the Airplane mode (flight mode) always on then A500 consumes about 8% less battery. Right now I am not in position to publish more details about why this is happening, since I am still researching it, but it works. It has to do with an application that periodically checks for 3G signal (Yes in A500).
Now most of you will think that WiFi or Bluetooth don't work with flight mode on. This is not true, they work as expected.
I have developed a free widget named TaToggles which is very helpful if you want to toggle WiFi, Bluetooth, Airplane etc. Read more about it here http://www.chdcomputers.gr/en/mnu-applications-en/mnu-applications-android-en/mnu-app-android-tatoggles-en
Hope this is useful to someone...
Thank you,
Christos
Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try. Though, I hope that Bluetooth works , since it doesn't works while I'm on airplane mode on my Xperia.
This is an old tip, already discussed like a year ago here. I personally just use Acer Iconia Battery Saver on Android Market ( https://market.android.com/details?...RlcnBoYXplLkFjZXJJY29uaWFQaG9uZURpc2FibGVyIl0. ) to disable the 3G service altogether, no need to mess with airplane mode or manually toggling services on or off.
Same effect can be achieved by inserting "ro.carrier=wifi-only" (without quotes) into build.prop, which one can find at /system.
With best regards, maris

Yes. It's one of the benefits of his ROMs.
After installing / applying widget, pages took a long time to load and scrolling was 'jerky' (Firefox mobile).
Uninstalled and everything was back to how it was beforehand.

WiFi and Bluetooth work when flight mode is on???

In Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and A500 yes they do. I don't know why this is happening but I suspect that it is because flight mode turns off the 3G radio and not all the radio. I am researching it and when I 'll have more I 'll post.
Note: If you have enabled wifi while you are enabling flight mode then it turns the wifi off but you can enabled it again without disabling the flight mode...

Yes. When you first turn airplane mode on, it shuts down all connections. Just toggle wifi, or Bluetooth back on, and it will stay in airplane mode. As a previous poster mentioned, it's old news, but apparently not old to everyone?
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.
Hello ,
I am on DeoXPer Pure MM 3.0 (Touchwiz) Rom what is an really great one.
But now after some weeks (installing this and that) I noticed whenever i disable wifi the wifi-icon starts to blink. It is alternating within ca. 1.5 seconds. Its not only a visual effect - in the wifi section the slidebutton ist alternating too. When I touch the button i can reactivate wifi and the near wlan is connected. The problem is that i would like to deaktivate wifi sometimes to safe battery. This strange behavior is very batterydraining. I wiped memory reinstalled apps (with data via titanium) but at some point the missbehavior reoccours. Do you have any hints for me to identify the misbehaving app or config?
Thanks in advance

I thought I was the only one with the issue lol
Google is up to something me thinks as when I turned the gps on today the wirless scanning re activated.
I have used alot of roms but I always go back to stock as I have had less bugs that way. If I was to flash another rom I would choose Omega rom or just stick with stock and a custom kernel. Cheers.
I'm looking for suggestions for figuring out the cause.
I'm not rooted.
I tried clearing cache in recovery.
The wakelock exists even in airplane mode.
The wakelock goes away after a reboot, but reemerges at some point.
Any ideas on what to try or where to go from here?
Thanks.

I had to use a Magisk module to make BBS a system app to get it to work in Oreo. Even with root priveledges it wasn't collecting any data.

I'm not either, but with an ADB command you can grant permission for battery stats anyway.
It's a kernel wakelock. I'm not sure where to go from here. What's the best place to reach out to OnePlus, to have this fixed?
I suddenly face the same issue..

Me neither.
Some people in the Oreo Beta thread seem to think that its a Bluetooth wake lock and that if you turn off Bluetooth and then reboot your phone it goes away.
I had a wake lock problem before I figured out how to get BBS to work but it went away after a couple days. I'm not using the stock kernel though--I'm using Lightning Kernel which blocks some wakelocks automatically and allows you to block others using the ElementalEx kernel control app.

This could be a valid point. I use Bluetooth quite often. Do you use Bluetooth a lot?

OP here. I have Bluetooth on all the time. But as I said, even in airplane mode the wakelock won't stop.

Theres ppl claiming you need to actually boot with bluetooth disabled. Not just switching to airplane.mode but actually starting your phone without bluetooth. Have you tried this?

I use Bluetooth a lot and I'm not having that wakelock problem but the kernel I'm using might be blocking it. Several people have said if you turn of Bluetooth and then reboot your phone the wakelock goes away. It's definitely worth trying.
I ended up going back to nougat. This wakelock was killing my battery life. Going to report the bug now.
