There may be hope

I just got off the phone with an engineer at Samsung.

He's going to take my troubleshooting info and try to reproduce in the lab.

I mentioned that there is nothing in the phone to configure filters.

I suggested that perhaps a firmware update should include something where, at a minimum, a filter ENABLE/DISABLE for "All Multicasting" be applied.

I also suggested, that if they want to get fancy, besides a filter ALL, have that, but also have the filtering option to allow for individual IP addresses, since this is on the internal network.

This way, like in my case, I can keep my Cissco Security camera streaming to the internet (MULTICAST), but filter its IP in the phone.

I suggested as well, perhaps all phones should have this simple-to-add feature.

He's added this to the main support database, so let's see where it really goes with Samsung. I hope they do in fact pay attention and add this feature.

I hope this helps others as well.

It also happens with tethering ...

I've the same problem with a lot of wifi downloading.

To test i enabled tethering on (on a Galaxy S3 nr 1) and connected an other Galaxy S3 (nr 2) through wifi..

What i see: Nr 2 is still downloading through wifi.

Is the Galaxy S3 (Jelly Bean) also broadcasting to the other Galaxy S3?

Tethering traffic (G3) on Nr 1 is there but not as high as wifi traffiic on Nr 2.

Can anyone explaine this?

Regards, Ebo
[Networking] AndroidTipster:
Seems to me it might be something to do with Nvidia's new driver. I'm rolling back to check for myself. As I'm the only house on the new drivers and the problem has just started.

Edit: Not the problem....

Wifi download arrow always on

Yesterday I have noticed the same problem on my Samsung Note 2: the wifi icon download arrow is always on.

It happened on both two routers I have at home (Netgear WNDR3800 and Vodafone Station 2).

I did an hard reset of smarphone, but the problem did not solve.

So now, as you suggested, I have just switched off the Wifi on my PC (HP Pavilion, Windows 7 Prof), connected to the same router, and magically the arrow went out!

But, obviously, the solution is not to switch off the Wifi on my PC every time: so I ask if you could suggest a better and easy one.

Thank you very much.

I guess something is running on your PC which uses multicast. You have to find out what that is, and disable/change it (if possible).
[Networking] bollawblawaw:
Multicast

How do i find out what is running multicast and how do i shut it off?
[Networking] RBPowered:
Had this problem when I woke up this morning. Wifi download arrow was constant and battery was draining like crazy. Searched for a while and found that Allshare cast was turned on under "more settings". Turned it off and the constant download and battery drain quit.
[Networking] lanwarrior:
I have posted this issue under Better Battery Stats thread.

My Galaxy S4 Active have TENS of THOUSANDS of wlan_rx_wake Kernel wakelocks, causing substantial battery drain.

I don't see All Share cast in my settings. Could you elaborate more?

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

I use Network Log app and the "Kernel" is causing all the RECEIVED network traffic.
[Networking] Lgrootnoob:
i was fixing to mention that you could use wireshark

but you could use droidwall to block the kernel with iptables right?

And in your routers setting page you could use ap isolation if what was said on the first reply is correct

Ap isolation blocks devices from seeing each other on the network i believe
[Networking] lanwarrior:
Network Log app also show the same thing, but better because it shows the app that is causing the traffic (see screenshot)

I tried using Firewall in the phone but if I can't block the KERNEL. I think that's by design.

I tried isolation, but I do use my phone to connect to local network such as Plex, which will no longer work if I do isolation.
[Networking] Lgrootnoob:
Maybe something is blocked on the network that is trying to be accessed by some part of android that nothing can i identify

but i noticed this on gingerbread on my samsung aviator

only after i had removed every app i think i possibly could with Titanium and only notice it about a year after doing so

But whatevs as its odd and nobody can figure it out.
[Networking] lanwarrior:
I did a hard reset on my phone and the first I did is download Titanium Backup and freeze everything that I THINK uses WiFi, like AllShare, etc. No dice.

So I went to an AT&T Store and test drive the Galaxy S4 Active they have on the display. The phone was connected to their AT&T Wifi in store and guess what.... it also shows CONSTANT network RX (down arrow blinking) continuously.

Yeah, something is causing it all right and it is baked in Galaxy S4 Active kernel / OS.

This is BS... that means when connected to WiFi (home AND work), I'll get shorter battery life....

Since OP also have a Samsung phone and you also, I believe this is a Samsung issue. Knowing that Samsung like to put everything but the kitchen sink (Galaxy S4 has so much Samsung bloat), it's gotta be something there.

ONE MORE TRY: for those having problem, are you ROOTED?
[Networking] Elv02:
Same problem

Just got a S4 last week and I came to report that I've been having the same issue.

I've been scouring the internet but this must be the most underreported widespread issue ever.

All I can contribute to the discussion is that I've found connecting to older routers gets rid of the problem. This goes for both the my fathers s2, a friends s3 and my s4 that I've tested it on. Two seperate networks as well. Mine, with an old B/G Linksys router, and at a friends, with a Linksys Wireless g router.
[Networking] Elv02:
I may be on to something

Interesting update to my problem... I tried the method suggested earlier by isolating the a computer or device on the network that could be causing this.

I found the answer was:

all of them.

As I unplugged things and disconnected wireless devices, my phones download icon was on for less and less. Until I finished, with it being the only device on the network, the orange arrow stopped.

Obviously this isn't a solution, so I tried figuring out what device it was, but I noticed a pattern. Any time a device connected, or disconnected, to the wifi, the phones orange arrow would light up. This also happened when the device would ping a website (like youtube). I did this with an iphone, a computer, and a Samsung s2 (watching my s4 for activity).

Is my phone downloading almost all packets being sent through the network?
[Networking] AECRADIO:
WiFi streaming data on RX.

Maybe your WiFi is actually in SCAN mode, scanning all channels as well as in AD-HOC mode, forcing the WiFi board to 'see' all activity on your phone.

With auto-selection, you are probably scanning all bands, 2.3 and 5.4 (b/g/n).

Adjust your settings to disable specific bands, or disable WiFi while at work.
[Networking] lanwarrior:
How do you disable "Scanning" mode?
[Networking] AECRADIO:
WiFi Scanning

Actually, the device does not scan in the traditional sense, it only scans when moved to a new environment and access is not tho=rough your normal AP/router, so it scans to find it, which also causes the WiFi adaptor to see other APs in the area, and the best signal gets an access attempt, and it may do this again and again, until an open AP is within range, or finds an unsecured one it can connect to automatically.

You can disable WiFi when you are at work, or manually disconnect, but all settings are in the wireless settings menu.

You may also uncheck update over WiFi only, as this may be your problem area.
[Networking] Elv02:
Still no answer

Back again

Now that all the devices are up again (the rest of the house can't exactly operate on no internet :p ) I tried looking for a pattern again just by bringing up websites etc (since my phone does not appear to be downloading 100 percent of the time) this time, no pattern between me loading a site and the phone. This did happen when only 2 devices were connected to the router though.

I'm no networking expert, so this has been a hell of a confusing issue for me :/ I don't know if I mentioned before, but OS Services on my phone seems to be downloading a hell of a lot, so that's probably my issue...
[Networking] lanwarrior:
Download Network Log, which will tell you which app causing it.
[Networking] Elv02:
Not rooted

I'm a little hesitant to do that, as I'm unrooted and just got the phone a little over a week ago. I really don't want to root until next year when the warranty is up. Is there any apps that will do the same thing without a root?

Also, I just realized my previous post is just repeating the same issues on pages 1 and 2, I've just been juggling a few threads about this and none mentioned it. Is it possible it's a combo of the two issues?

EDIT: So, I guess my end question is that, is their a way to stop Android from "listening" to traffic happening over wifi? Or is the answer simply to turn off wifi functionality when it's not in use?
[Networking] panecondoin:
Same issue... could be the media server

I have the same issue on the Sony XP running a stock based JB-Rom and pinned it down to the app called "Devices". It is handeling throwing pics and flicks from device to device and scans the whole network for destinations to throw its media at. Scanning EVERYTHING the moment wifi is enabled :eek:

As others are reporting the drain gets more severe in a network environment with lots of devices in it (e.g. uni or work). I disabled the throw-option (it was in a xperia-special submenu) and this seems to stop the ridiculous downloading while wifi is on and also reduces battery drain quite a lot. I have yet to take it somewhere else and try this a little longer to confirm this. Looks promising until now, though.

So maybe someone could try to deactivate/hibernate everthing throw/share-related, if not using a Xperia device, and see if it helps...

Cheers everyone!

There's an app called "Shark for Root" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lv.n3o.shark&hl=en.

[Networking] changt34x:
Resurrection here, but does anyone have any hope that this will ever get fixed? I am at a Uni and pretty much every Android device ICS and up (even the new KitKat Nexus 5 and 7) has this issue. Considering that this is a very large Uni and everyone is on the same network (though we have 10 different major public IP subsets it is internally the same network), usage is huge, I mean downloads are often at 200kbps from the thousands of computers on campus. This has the capability of using 60+GB a month.

I'm on a Note 3, so no ability to change kernels. I can't seem to find anyway to stop broadcast filtering or anything like that. Even more unfortunate is that while I have unlimited (verizon), Verizon is horrible in this major city. No wonder most students at this school switch to iPhone/iPad (no issue) after the first year.
[Networking] lanwarrior:
Like many other issue with Android, this will never be fixed. This issue has been discussed in Google own product forum for a long time and Google won't even acknowledge it.

Not to troll, but my office gave me an iPhone 5 and the battery last far longer than both my N7 and S4 Active.
[Networking] changt34x:
Has anyone found any new information? I am now draining 12-15% per hour and am switching to iOS until this problem is solved, which it probably never will.
[Networking] absolutcc:
I had the same problem. It would only happen on my home router. Check that nothing is in multicast mode that's using your network, if so, reset or unplug it. The only thing that worked for me was wiping my router and changing my SSID.

Hello,

does anyone have issues with the voice search not working as advertised on the keynote?

For example, asking "Who's is the Prime Minister of Japan" just returns a web search result and nothing else. No talking back.

It seems as though it's been disabled, can anyone confirm this?

Edit: Perhaps it's because I'm outside of the US? I'd love to hear back from users with Jellybean outside and inside the US.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leshake:
Google Now/Search definitely talks back. I just tried that right now. Have you enabled all the features in keyboard/typing and search settings? Try a restart also after

Alright so I can confirm. Once I went home I was able to get it to talk back and respond to some basic questions, such as "weather" and "who is prime minister of x".

Anyone have any other cool questions you asked that Google responds to? For example, currency conversion doesn't respond back to me, just shows me search.

Although I can never get the mapping questions to show up. "Map of gas stations near me", or "Map of closest 7 eleven"

Also, my Google Now shows no results.

I'd appreciate it too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gubshi:
when I change every language-setting to english it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Seems a bit hit or miss.

Ask who the prime minister of japan is and i get voice and images etc. Ask who it is for england and i get a google search.

Also, sending texts, settings alarms etc doesn't work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ellimistx99:
For England if you ask, "Who is the Prime Minister of UK" it works.

For SMS I say, "Send text to Dad I'm going to be late today" works for me.

For Alarm, I say, "Set and Alarm for 430 am tomorrow" also works.

Fun think to try, "What is the answer to life, the universe and everything" you get, "42"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ellimistx99:
Other things I've noticed:

"Where are all the petrol stations near me" works. Whereas, "where are all the gas stations near me" didn't. Then slowly, over time, as I used it more they started to work.

It seems like something is going on in the servers at ol google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
OK - this one worked

Nope - does a Google search and the first result is your post

Nope, doesn't work either. Does a Google Search

OK - this one works too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicholasbgr:
I'm from Brazil and to get it working I had to change the whole system language to US English. Couldn't get it to work just changing the voice search language.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gubshi:
That's what I did. Won't tell me anything in german.

For you english folks, I guess the googleservers are not quite ready yet and everyone is allready testing stuff earlier than planed ;)

And hopefully they'll add all languages. At boot the phone downloaded a language-pack, and I saw some for french, spain and so on, too.

time will tell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ellimistx99:
Try changing everything to US English and try again? dunno why it isn't working for you...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicholasbgr:
Oh, and before you change the system language to english, wipe data for the voice search app on the settings menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Revoked:
Shortened?

Ok finally got it to work in English, but the responses are shorter e.g.:

I ask: Who is the prime minister of Japan?

Answer: Yoshihiko Noda.

Keynote Answer: The prime minister of Japan is Yoshihiko Noda.

Also doesnt show a picture like it did on the keynote. Could this be because of regional google?

---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

Finding 1: Like I thought, the regional google affects the results! (Im from the Netherlands so I use google.nl) You can force it to google.com instead in the Privacy and Account settings! This results in the full sentences being played back!

Finding 2: After some fiddling I am now getting replies in Dutch! Yes! My Phone talks Dutch to me now! The only pitfall is, I can still only search in English, but the replies come as Dutch spoken English now!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] locomain:
how did you get it to speak dutch :O
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Revoked:
Ive been messing with the voicesearch data in /data/data and figured out that I can set the system to Dutch and the Voice input to English (Generic). Which results in the phone using Dutch text-to-speech for the replies to the english commands I speak into voicesearch :). I think you can do this in the menu's aswell :)

---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

More discoveries!

The phrase: What is the definition of ....

Works for other languages aswell! (Only tried in dutch)

I spoke into voicesearch: Wat is de definitie van robot (What is the definition of robot)

This gives me the reply in English text and the dutch text-to-speech tries to pronounce it!

That doesn't fix the problem for me. I only have card pictures when I set the whole system language to us english.

I hope this will be only a matter of time. I remember navigation did not work outside the u.s. in the beginning, so that the wonderful xda-guys hat to do a workaround. After a while, google started navigation for the rest of the world.

On the other hand I am impatient, too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] natewiebe13:
Running AOSP version on a Nexus S in Canada and everything works as expected except for it not returning images with results, which isn't a huge deal. To fix this, you can go to privacy and accounts and specify using google.com instead of google.ca, but then you lose the ability to use local searches such as weather. Hopefully this gets fixed, but I don't mind not having images with results.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sputnik99:
Yes of course, not a big deal. But it would be a nice-to-have. If you only want voice search... Android has this feature since years.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
Jelly Bean looks pretty dang cool, but I think I'm personally going to wait until there is a stock-based JB ROM. I've tried AOSP-based ROMs on my Prime, and the loss of functionality on the keyboard, as well as the headaches with battery monitoring on the second battery just aren't worth it.

Once Wookie can get his hands on an Asus build of JB, I bet this thing will really come alive.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Namidairo:
You would be far better off waiting for either:

A dump from the Nexus 7 (Which is closer hardware-wise)

Waiting for source to be pushed to AOSP in a few weeks.

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/android-building/BnspdkGvgOE/YaEotqlP4OoJ

SDK ports tend to be as slow as molasses and functionally incomplete as they usually lack the driver support of the proper release.

The HTC One X port from the Galaxy Nexus image is well... As bad as you would expect.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] paddycr:
I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. I am currently using CM9 and the keyboard functions equally as well as stock. Monitoring of the second battery works perfectly too. This is the case with all the recent releases of the other AOSP roms too. I do not think it will be too long before we have a JB AOSP rom for the Prime. I wish you luck in seeing the same from ASUS. Hopefully sometime next year lol.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dhyneland:
That's been the only thing holding me back from flashing an AOSP rom on my Prime, I was worried the keyboard dock wouldn't work or with limited functionality. I might have to give CM9 a go..

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
I haven't tried CM9, but on AOKP and EOS, the extra tweaks for things like the keyboard unlock that Asus baked in are missing. I use mine for taking notes pretty frequently, and I like to be able to turn the screen on and off with the keyboard. That was never an option with AOKP or EOS. I recognize that it's a small issue for most people, but it was a deal-breaker for me. The ROMs that I was running didn't have a dual-battery guage, either, unless you wanted a big ugly widget on one of your home screens to tell you how your dock battery is doing. I also missed the quick OC settings that are in the stock-based FW.
