Wi-Fi Power Save Mode

[xtibi]

Did you find a way to permanently turn off the wifi powersave mode? Thanks.

If you turn on wifi power save mode your wifi internet connection speed will be very slow. Like in my case I have a 15 mbps internet plan but using the speedtest.net app on my phone the speed is only 1.5mbps. But after turning off the wifi power save mode I get a 15mbps connection.
My question is, is there a way to permanently turn off the wifi powersave mode? It's really annoying I always need to do the *#0011# sequence everyday!
I think it automatically turns on when you get a low battery or if you restart your phone.

No I have'nt and I'm very desperate to know how to turn it off permanently. It really sucks to turn it off everyday.

I already tried that before. My wifi settings is "Always On" mode during sleep.

The wifi powersave mode always kicks in when the battery is low like 10-15% I think. Also if you restart the phone it turns on again.

I'm having the same problem but my service is not on so I cannot dial the number. Is there any way to shut it off without service?

If you drag-down from the Status bar and then select the icon in the upper right corner you should see all of the available Quick Toggles - 'Power saving' should be one of them; you can turn it off that way.

Does this only apply to Samsung phones?

I seem to have the same problem on my UMI, but dialing *#0011# does not work. Any other way to access ServiceMode?

That's odd. I just ran four tests, two with PSM off, then two with PSM on, and got essentially identical results using Speedtest. Did you run your tests with a low battery? Maybe the powersave mode kicks in when the battery reaches a certain level.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any way to change the setting permanently.

I get huge battery drain on my sprint note edge with psm off on lollipop. But if i don't turn it off my phone won't recognize incoming whatsapp messages unless i turn the screen on. Any suggestions?

Well, as far as battery drain I'd suggest booting into safe mode for a while and see if you still have the drain issue. Safe Mode disables 3rd party apps, so if your battery life gets better it's down to something you've installed. If that's the case, my suggestion would be to factory reset, and install only a couple of apps. If everything is still good, install a couple of more. Then a couple of more, untill you find whatever is causing drain.
