WiFi power save mode toggle? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi as I'm sure your all aware this amazing beast of a phone has the stupidest WiFi ever. I know you can turn off power save mode and that works brilliantly for me but is there like a way to put a toggle on my homescreen for it? I have tried with AnyCut but it just force closes when I try to make the shortcut.

Why not take full control of your WiFi and use chamonix's better WiFi on off app? There is a development tread for it there on xda.

Thanks for your reply but that's not really what I was looking for I just need something like a toggle that will turn of WiFi power save mode or a way for it to be off indefinitely.

If you just want power save mode off indefinitely then
Enter *#0011# in dialer. This will bring you to service mode. From here press the menu button and select WiFi. There is a button to switch power save off.
Hope that's what you are looking for.

Yeah I already knew about that but I do a lot of testing on my phone so my phone Is on and off all the time and when you reset the phone it turns itself back on.

I see what you mean now. I don't think you will find an app to do this.
You could possibly ask chamonix to add it as feature to his better WiFi app. He seems pretty open to reasonable requests.

It's a bit late but I've just come across this on another thread.
It appears to do what you want.

If you have root....go to..../data and edit the .psm.info file with a text editor to 0....then change permissions to read only and it will stay off even after reboot.

Hi, I have the same problem. The "on/off" button isn't there anymore.
Do you have any advice? I have the Samsung s5 neo with stock rom and it's not rooted?
I have posted it in the Samsung s5 neo forum but no one answered...
Hi guys,
I have a problem with my WiFi. It turns on/off all the time.
I use the stock ROM. The time I had Lollipop on my phone I could turn off the "WiFi power saving" in the "Service Mode" over the code *#0011#. Everything worked fine, also after the update to Marshmallow.
But after I put the phone to factory reset I have the same problem and I can't turn off the "WiFi power saving" in the "Service Mode". The button on/off is not more existing.
Can anyone help me? I am looking for a solution for a long time. I still haven't found anything in the internet that helped me.
