Ok, so I've had the phone for just under a week. I really like it. However, I've noticed that nfc will spontaneously just shut off on its own. I do not have power save mode activated. Similarly, I toggle location on/off often from the notification drawer, but I had set the setting to "power saving" where it estimates location based on mobile/WiFi signal. However, I often find it reverts to GPS only. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi all
My Wifi stays on during sleep even though in settings I have this option set to never.
Anyone else experienced this? And is there a way to make the Wifi go of when n7 is in sleep mode?
Thanks
Chris

Could use a battery saving app and see if it kills wifi

Thanks I might look at that, it's not a big issue was more curious to see if any one else's acts the same way.

Have you actually given it time to turn off? Not sure if it is 5 or 10 minutes but for me it eventually turns off.
EDIT: I am set to "Only when plugged in"
Or there is a build prop tweak that suspends it in sleep like pm.sleep_mode=0 or close to that

The N7 wifi stays active for several minutes after the unit goes to sleep - even if you have it set to be only on when plugged-in or off when sleeping.
This is a really stupid design so I use my wifi widget to just turn it off before putting the unit to sleep.
There's most likely a setting somewhere to tweak to get the wifi to turn off immediately when the tablet sleeps.
Yes, the built in wifi off at screen off sometimes takes minutes and sometimes never turns it off.
Green Power, Tasker, Settings Profile, etc, all market apps will turn off wifi for you on screen off.
I use Tasker myself.
I have ARHD GE 4.0 and whenever the screen is off, the network disconnects until the next time I turn it on. That means I don't get any notifications from Whatsapp and other apps, unless I check them out manually.
Now, how do I fix it? I've read over the web that it's a well known issue, the thing is I've had this carrier for like a year and haven't had this problem, till I changed my carrier and it started right away; I thought the problem was at the new carrier and I changed it to another one, yet I've had the same problem again.
Now, if the problem is in the phone, how come I haven't had it with the first carrier? Thanks.
Check the power saver option in the phone settings. You need to turn off power saver then disable the "turn network off when screen is off" option and turn power saver back on again (or not, if you want).

I don't have it because I have a Google Edition rom.
Oh. Sorry. My bad.
Hmm do you have any battery saving application? Battery guru, juice defender or something? These sort of things tend to do that. If not check your phone settings. As i remember from my Galaxy nexus there was a setting in network settings that deactivated data /wifi when the screen was off.
In any case it sounds to me like you have a battery saving option enabled somewhere on your phone to cause this kind of behavior.
If that's not it, I'm stumped and have no idea what else it could be.

I don't have any battery saving apps.
It sounds to me as well, the thing is I haven't had that problem till I changed my carrier, so if there was an option enabled somewhere, how come it started working only when I changed my carrier?
I tried to use the phone as a remote control for my TV once. And now, it always shows up in my notification bar. I've tried to force STOP it in the Application manager, but it turns on automatically even after restarting the device.
Go into WatchOn settings and turnoff the show in notifications setting. Also, while there, turn off on lock screen.

I disabled this app. It was soaking up data like crazy in the background
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Disabled it for the mean time until they make an update to easily turn it off, this will our batteries!
Today I noticed that the Wi-Fi icon animation for turning on and off Wi-Fi is gone. Before, when I would turn on Wi-Fi, each "bar" on the Wi-Fi "launch" icon would light up in sequential order but how the whole icon lights up immediately. What happened to the animation? Same for when I turn off Wi-Fi. Before each bar would turn off in order but now the whole thing just turns off.

Hey so my night clock is set but doesn't activate unless I reach over and swipe the edge. Which defeats the purpose. Then it turns on and stays on but will not just turn on at the set time by itself. Am I missing something or is it just a random glitch?
Thanks ya'll

I have not had that problem, so it does sound like a random glitch. It should just be coming on. Are you completely stock?
Sent from my SM-G925V using XDA Free mobile app
Yes
Yes it is.
I'm going to try turning it off and turning it back on tonight before the set time and seeing if that works but not hopeful on that

OK. The only other thing I would mention, is the clock won't show automatically unless you swipe, when the battery is low - I believe at 15%. Do you have any power saving modes on by chance?
Sent from my SM-G925V using XDA Free mobile app
I believe so
I can't remember my settings on that. I'll have to double check but my battery is never that low when I'm sleeping. In fact, a lot of the time it's plugged in.
