Reminder
Turning off the WiFi Power Save Mode can help optimize the connectivity and performance of your device but it has the tendency to drain your battery faster. So, consider this tradeoff first before disabling it.
Can the WiFi Power Save Mode of the Galaxy Note 2 Be Permanently Disabled?
One sender in The Droid Guy Mailbag asked if thereās a way to permanently disable the WiFi Power Save Mode of the Galaxy Note 2 so that he does not have to repeat the same process of turning it off whenever he is restarting his phone. However, it is sad to note that such option is not available for a Galaxy Note 2 that is not rooted. Thus, every after restarting the device, you will have to manually enter the WiFi Power Save Mode using the steps above.

People it is available on EVERY NoteĀ®āII, regardless of variantā¦ you’re just not seeing it. Here are some insanely (lol) detailed and thorough instructionsā:
Firstā: any time you see dial codes like the *#0011# (there are many others) in an article, they MUST BE DIALED FROM THE NATIVE DIALER that came with your device. If you’re using a different dialer, you may be so used to it that you forget it isn’t the stock dialer, and NONE OF THESE CODES WILL WORK. If this is you, you will still have the stock dialer in your app drawer, probably just called “Phone”ā¦ launch it and use it for whatever code you’re trying to enter.
That saidā¦ once you enter Service Mode by dialing #*0011*, you will see a bunch of text on-screen. Ignore it, tap your device’s MENU softkey, and choose the last item in the pop-up menu, which will be WI-FI. After you do that, the screen full of text you last saw will be replaced by a NEW screen full of (smaller) text, and the LAST ITEM AT THE BOTTOM of that text will have a BUTTON underneath it that will have a green “light” and will say ON. Hit that button and it will turn to OFF. That’s it.
If the device is rooted it will stay on OFF permanently, i.e.āafter every reboot. If the device is not rooted, it will always revert to ON after every reboot.
This doesn’t work for the Note 4, any suggestions?
