On my note 3 there was a way to turn off the WiFi power saving options through the hidden menus through the dialer (the long *#27..... Blah blah but the note pro 12.2 has it on as you can tell from the constant WiFi connection message shown below. Anyone know of any way to turn it off.? Maybe in the build prop?

Title + I've checked all the settings and can't find where this is coming from. It only started when I reinstalled sky ics update. I have a limited plan and mostly use wifi. The 4G turns on even if I'm connected to wifi. I even have background data restricted. Any ideas?

Like using data turning on? Or just the symbol is showing?

Sometimes it's just the symbol but it's hard to say. When I unlock it I hear a tone and the 4G turns on. Both the widget in the notification bar and my other power bar light up the 4G icon and I see the icon up by the battery indicator show up and show data moving.

Your phone will always send data if you have the autosync (in your notification bar or accounts and sync in settings) but it probably won't send much. If your on I cs then you can keep track of your data usage in the settings menu. The third option.......just turn mobile data on and it will start tracking how much you use. If its using a lot then an app (e.g. facebook) is sending data constantly. You can change the apps (whatever one) setting to not auto update or update less often. My 4g icon is on all the time but uses little data. Hope this helps.
And you can turn your data toggle(4g) off when your on wifi or just when you need to check stuff. You'll still get texts. Just won't be using data

It doesn't seem to be using much data, but simply toggling the 4G button doesn't work because it just turns back on by itself. I'd like it to stay off when I set it as off. btw, I'm pretty sure I have no apps set to auto update (I like to have control of what goes on my phone). I'll double check to be sure. Thanks!

There's some discussion here and on the official Nvidia forums regarding LTE connections. I only have Wi-Fi, so can't comment.
Regarding screenshots, you can create them using the stylus from the menu options that appear (including lasso captures) after pulling it out (provides you have the option/menus turned on in the Direct Stylus options). Alternatively, you can select it from the 'Share' option in the pull down/notification quick settings.

ok i will look for the LTE issue. its annoying that you paid a bit more for a feature but its not working. i havent rooted this phone and will not do so in a near future
as for screenshot, i constantly use the screenshot on a specific game. but there is one part of the game that i cant use the pulldown > share button because that part of the game will exit after i pulldown the top menu(blame the game to "touch any part to exit" )
i have actually disabled directstylus. maybe enabling it will enable also screenshot? i dont know i will try it in a bit.
Thanks

You need a Quickboot.apk as a system app.
There is no point anyways, as it is not really "quickboot".
When enabled, instead of shutting down, it just puts the phone on airplane mode, turns the screen off and blocks every single wake. When you "turn it back on" it just turns off airplane mode, wakes it back up and plays the bootanimation for 2 seconds.
Hmm.. Ok, so how can i get quickboot to work on my phone?

My niece has a phone but she keeps forgetting the PIN or combination. What would be the options or instructions to disable those features and leave the Swipe option only?

settings > lockscreen > security (?)
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
I mean disable those features so she can't choose it again in the future that Swipe is the only screen lock option to choose.

sorry , not that i'm aware of. hopefully someone else will chyme in
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
There are several ways to do, I don't know which one you prefer, the easierst would be to download the 'SMS bypass' (Cerberus or any other similar app can also do it but for just one feature SMS bypass is all what we want) which needs to be running in the background, that allows sending an reset sms from another phone e.g. '1234 reset'. After that your phone will be restarted and the pass will be reset to 1234.
But I not recommend to entirely disabled it generally because this would be an open door for other attacks.
I wouldnt mind. Its just a tablet full of games and ebooks. If theres a way to remove those features.

If she keeps turning it back on she may be just messing with you on purpose. -_- may be you should talk to her about that.
Not aware of any way to achieve that. Maybe you should choose "face recognition" as access module? She won't forget that credential
If i have the screen turned off for a couple of minutes and i press home screen it will ask for pin and not fingerprint,is this a bug? ,can it be fixed?
It's very frustrating and i don't know what to do,i did not have this problem in S6.

You are using a different launcher, right? Its normal if that's the case.
Default luncher not rooted, it ssk for pin if turned offby power button and start it by home button.. Very frustrating

Sent from my SM-G930F using XDA-Developers mobile app
Have seen this issue before, usually caused by a third party app. Boot in safe mode to see if issue persists.
Yes thanks, screen off and lock was the problem
