Do you know if it's possible avoid turn-off wireless in stand-by???
I'd like to use VoIP with my Artemis (with hand-free and wireless connection), but it's impossible becouse after 1 minute (my pda is set to turn-off after 1 minute) the phone goes in stand-by mode and plugs off the wireless antenna.
Can I set "Always on" to wireless connection???
as yet i failed to accomplish this. all i can do so far is turn off the monitor to save a bit power. not the same as standby mode at all though.
I've got this tweak from somewhere, I'm not sure (maybe wiki page):
"AUTO DISCONNECT WHEN GPRS IDLE
you can edit the registry key ...
HKey_Local_Machine/Comm/ConnMgr/Planner/Settings/CacheTime
Change from 600 to 60
it will disconnect after connection is idle for 60 seconds ...
There's also another key needed to be set. Otherwise, my PDA still has always on 3G data connection.
HKey_Local_Machine/Comm/ConnMgr/Planner/Settings/SuspendResume
Change from ~GPRS! - Always on
to GPRS_bye_if_device_off - switch off after timeout"
It may help if you make the changes THE OTHER WAY ROUND. For you the desired value in 'HKey_Local_Machine/Comm/ConnMgr/Planner/Settings/SuspendResume' is '~GPRS!' And the cache time value should be set to '0' (as infinite), if it doesn't work, set to a high value (i.e. 3600 - it means 1 hour).
I'm not sure it helps but it's worth to give it a try...
i guess he was talking about WLAN connection, not gprs or 3G. however, i might be wrong.

You are right, sorry. I've just misunderstood the problem, paying not enough attention to the first post...
So the only way is disable auto sandby and swith-off screen?
I thought a way to solve this situation could be keeping active OS during VoIP connection, just to avoid standby...
Its not enabled for a very good reason, it consumes so much power your device would last just a few hours before running out of power.

that is true. however, they could still give us the option
i think the real "problem" is that WLAN needs the OS running to work. the GSM unit is working differently.
Using S2U is a solution for me

It seems to be what I want, an application that avoid standby mode but preserve battery (setting lcd off, various device option off...)
I'll try it!
Thanks
Skype
I am not sure if this is still relevant, but in skype i think to have seen an option that says: "disable stand by mode when connected to Wlan" or something like that...
however of course the "batteryproblem" will still be there...
Please post your experiences with S2U2 once made, thanks!
Don't mean to "thread jack" but how can I tell the difference between the screen just being off and the phone being in standby mode?
I'm asking because I'm having a problem with my phone when I turn on Flight mode. Usually I turn on flight mode at night or in a meeting but I'm finding that the battery is still draining (rather quickly too) when I'm in flight mode and the device is off all night. If I'm at 40% batt level at 11:00pm and put the phone in Flight mode, by the morning about 6:30am, the battery is down to like 5%! And there are no programs running at all, screen is off, device is untouched all night. So when I saw this thread, I started to wonder if the phone was in really in standby or if the screen was just off.
Is S2U2 the option to keep the WLAN enabled when in standby mode?
I know i can disable going in to standby but would be nice if it can be done without this.
The power drain is most peoples concern but if i'm at work i have it plugged into the power anyway but would like to use one of the WLAN's here that isn't being monitored
Hello EveryOne,
I have Imate PDA2K and any one who is going to solve my following two issues i will pay him $5 as a gift from me by PayPal.
The problems are:
1. When ever i remove the battery of my phone to change the sim card the time and date changes to the default time and date something like the manufature date. I try to upgrade the rom to wm5, then wm6 but nothing help. Even the backup battery is showing 100% full all the time.
2. When ever i try to call i press the answer button but the call don't connects. Some times connects and some time i have to try hundreds of time to connect my call. Same thing is for the recieving the call. Some time it connects and sometimes it hangs during answering the call.
I will really pay $5 who will help me to sort out these problems. I buy this device as pre-owned device that's why not able to get help at clubimate.com and hence plan to get help here and pay a part of pre-owned fee to someone here.
Thank you,
1.) it's a backup battery problem, change the backup battery.
eventhough it says 100% doesnt mean it's not failing.
the backup battery is charging from your main battery.
it may show 100% but easy recharged when you put the main battery.
if it is easily recharged... it will easily discharge... hence, flat batt.
2.) i dont know this but it maybe related to main battery failing to give power to the phone module. i had a BA with no service /and/ talks disconnection once but when i changed to a new battery it was gone.

Thanx for your response...
1. Can backup battery easily changable i mean is it like a big battery like we have in our pc motherboards or a special service center have to change it?
2. Let me change the baterry today and see what happens.
no prob... just add your reward to your battery procurement.
and i hope that works...
What else may be?

I have changed the battery today and it done the same call answering problem just one time in over 20 calls before this ratio was 99% of 100% times.
What else may be creating this problem of hanging mobile during recieving the call. And also please tell me which rom of wm6 is best you think i will use?
install 2003se rom back, if u hv 2005.
try xplode's latest cook. it's in the WM6 thread of BA
The rom does not matter (well mine is a lil quicker than others but)
1. Simple SIM change procedure - press power, wait 10-20 sec. , then remove the battery and change the sim. after powering on hit reset once (or you will get no radio) - this way the date will not reset
2. Phone LAG - this problem occures when a lot of memory and cpu power is used for the OS, then the phone starts to lag. Here is a simple tweak which will speed up the phone app - press Start => Settings => Sounds & Notifications , remove the check for Events (warnings, system events)
there are a lot of tweaks which will speed up overall performance of the phone, but you need to search the forums for them
And remember, the phone app is the same for all WM5/6 devices so the tweaks are the same, you can look in other devices forums for tweaks
Thnx Every One!
Hello,
Thank you every one for your replies.
I changed the battery and currently checking it to make sure the problems got solve out.
Hey everyone
Does anyone here use tasker or have any recommended profiles to help save battery life?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Try Juice Defender with 3g control enabled.
I have mine set to enable every 30mins with good results..
With LOTS of syncing enabled, i get roughly 1% an hour decrease whilst on standby!! Unplugged at 1am on 89% when i went to bed, at 9am when i got up it was at 81%...
Hope this helps!
Dickie
Check WIKI on Tasker site,data profiles created by "brandall" from XDA
Tasker data profiles are better than Juice Defender
JuiceDefender has some annoying bugs in it at the moment (some like issues it has with lockscreen/display timeout) have been around for 4months+ and they still haven't sorted them out) so I've switched to Green Power which seems to do the job very well. Simple and no fuss.
Hi. Anyone here good at creating profiles?
I would like some help. If i want a profile that:
IF screen has been locked for 1 minute, i want WiFi to shut down.
And when i unlock the phone again, i want it to turn on.
But - i don't just want a "toggle wifi by hitting powerbutton"-function,
I only want this to apply if i had wifi on in the first place.
The reason i want this profile is:
If i forget to charge the phone at night, and have wifi going, i have 20% less battery when i wake up. Or if im at a friends house, connected to a wifi... well, same here. If it just lays in my pocket connected to X, i want it to shut down when screen is off. Saves alot of juice.

why dont you use tasker for that,
you can do almost anything with that app.
Creating profiles in tasker isn't a huge difficult task, its easy, Just use trial n error to see if it works.

Why don't just use the stock android checkbox in settings that's there for that? o_ô
Go to settings/network and wifi/wifi settings/hit the menu button and tap advanced parameters/wifi sleep politic/check "when screen goes off".
It does exactly what you described...

The reason i don't use androids built-in thing for that is because it drains battery for some strange reason.

Well mine is working fine, no draining at all (wifi on 24h24 with this option checked and my phone drain only 1% every 5 or 6h if the screen is off). The thing is that it shut off the wifi only if no app needs it, so my bet is that those who have a battery drain just have some apps that don't let the phone going in deep sleep.

Hi, if you try LLAMA app instead I could talk you through it (as your not getting an answer you want).
As far as I can tell, LLAMA can do everything that tasker and locale can do but its free. It's also very good on your battery and can use cell towers instead of gps for location.

Not sure if I'm in the right place, new to smartphones. Got myself a Galaxy S2 and rooted it. Main point,
I'm using Tasker and I'm trying to have it set so that it's in Airplane Mode when I have an Alarm set so I get no calls/texts during my slumber.
So far, best thing I've done is the phone goes to Airplane Mode between 00:00 and 0600 everyday as well as when light levels are between 0 and 28 - not sure if the light levels are like, set too low.
So far I love Tasker but very little support online and Tasker Wiki doesn't really help. Trying my best with the trial and error method.
Thanks

hi,
i'm using "setting profiles".
in the market you have a free and a payment app.
the developers answer the emails at decent speed...
The information in here is only tested on the ICS (Stock based roms) and (stock or repacked kernels). It's not been tested on any other roms. So, if you want to apply the tweak that I provided in here, do it with your own risk. I'm here to help or share the good and bad things but not responsible for any bricked phones.
Update: Wifi Sleeps well! But you need to understand what's going on here.
We are expecting wifi to sleep when the screen is off and 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' is set to 'Never'.
But wifi does not go to sleep mode even every options are satisfied on ICS stock roms with Stock or Rogue repacked Kernel).
I tried many ways to make it sleep (from settings, from build.prop tweaks and from through the init.d script) but none of those worked. Only the way to make it sleep is turning off the wifi manually before turning off the screen.
There is one workaround that making the wifi sleep during the screen off. The method is using Wifi Fixer app from google market but it does not work 100 %. Sometimes, it makes wifi sleep but other times, nothing happens.
So, anyone who is expecting wifi sleeps by any tweaks or by wifi option changes, don't expect it any more. There's no hope yet. For me, I'm waiting for the next build to test this function out.
There's some additional information at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625299 and check wifi section.
If anyone knows the method to make wifi sleep on stock rom/kernel, please post your info here. There are some tools that we can use to check wifi is sleeping or not during the sleep mode. I'm currently using Battery Widget Pro.
Because I've tested lots of things so far, if you know the methond or if it works on your phone, please show how it works and screenshots if possible.
[Update] Wifi sleeps finally as I wanted!
OK. Here is the story.
One specific app mis-led me to wroing conclusion - Battery Monitor Widget Pro (v2.2.4). This app shows that wifi is always on if wifi is turned on. This app does not exclude the time wifi was turned off during the sleep mode.
Plus, there's some pre-allocated time to make the wifi sleep after the screen turned off. For most of Android phones, it seems like this value is 15 minutes. So, even the screen is off, wifi does not enter to the sleep mode immediately. Phone spend 15 minutes after the screen off, and kill the wifi session if wifi option was set to never (keep wi-fi on during sleep).
How to check whether wifi sleeps or not :
Do NOT use Battery Monitor Widget to check the wifi status.
You can easily check it from the stock Battery app. Settings > Battery > click on the graph > check wi-fi status if there is any gap (means sleep or turned off).
Then, How to change the default 15 minutes value to make the phone sleep early?
Update 5/16/12 - Fixed wifiSleepWait tweak, so it works without any manual database handling. The below is just for informational. Now you don't need to manually create a row into the table.
There were one or two information available on XDA but nothing is correctly applicable to Epic 4G Touch. So, here is the tweak that I made for E4GT.
To do this you will need root explorer -
1. move to the folder, /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/
2. copy the databases folder to your /sdcard
3. Move to /sdcard/databases click settings.db
4. select secure
5. it will ask you which editor you are going to use. If you installed sqlite then select sqlite, otherwise use root explorer (only at first time)
6.Check if there is column name 'wifi_idle_ms'. If there is, then change the value to whatever mili seconds you want. For example, 10000 = 10 seconds, 30000=30seconds. If you want to wait 15 minutes until wifi sleep, then 15*60000 = ?
7.If there is no 'wifi_idle_ms' row, the click long time anywhere on the table. It will show you the actions, select new record. Do not change _id, put the 'wifi_idle_ms' in the name field (without quote sign) and put the value explained above. For me, I just put the 10000 (for 10 seconds). Click save.
8. Now you can see the value changed or row created. Exit editor and move up to /sdcard. Copy (or Move) databases folder to original location (/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/). Sometime, the copy is not successful because database is currently being used. If it's not copied, then try it agaon to copy until it's successful. For me, it was successful on second try.
9. Reboot the phone and click the power button shortly to change to screen off mode(sleep mode).
10. After the time passed defined in above, click the power button again and notice that phone was working on 4G or 3G mode and not wifi mode. Phone will try to reconnect wifi after the screen turned on.
11. That's it. Now you can change the idle time until wifi turned off as much as you want.
The above was the manual way to change the wifi_idle_ms value from database. But there is another way to change this values automatically. The method is using sqlite and of course you need to know the sql query.
In my case, I tried to add this sqlite query statement into my init.d tweak but only update sql command worked and insert was not successful. Maybe I need someone's help to get this insert statement successful.
In here, I'm adding only the update tweak which can be added into init.d. What this mean is, at first time you have to insert the database row manually but once it's created, you can update the idle value during the boot thru init.d script.
Because you don't need to run this init.d script everytime on boot, once you update the value, change the permission to 644 and it won't run again until you change it back to 755.
To run this init.d script, you will need sqlite3 - http://chensun.net/android-development/install-sqlite3-on-google-nexus-one/54/
Download it and simply move to /system/xbin foler. Assign the same permission like other files on the same folder.
Of course, you also need root access and busybox.
The init.d script will be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625299

Maybe it cannot sleep when sync is on?
I imagine that wifi is needed for weather/news/etc updates and clould2device services.
Wait...the options are changed on ICS correct? Meaning its never off during sleep on Gingerbread and always on during sleep on ICS or am I not understanding?
Huh? Mine sleeps just fine unless I set it to never sleep.
That aside - you are aware that you're better off leaving wifi on anyway, right? It uses less battery power than the cell radio does. Just an FYI
Finally figured out everything!
Took whole one day to find out everything!
First, most importantly, WiFi sleeps!
I'm going to explain what happend and how we could make wifi sleeps better in op section.
edit. Partially updated. I'm checking now if I can make a script to change the leading time that is required before wifi actually sleep.

I think there is a little difference of understand about what has the control over other services/fuctions.
Usually weather/news apps are dependent on wifi or 4g services. Those apps usually do not control the wifi or 4G and many times only able to communicate wifi or 4G are turned on. Those services cannot hold the wifi/4G connections even those services are still running.

That's not true. It's totally based on the signal strength. Usually 3G is not fast but do not use battery as much as wifi when the signal is weak on both wifi and 3G.

will this tweak work if I set wifi to "only when plugged in"

Click to expand...

I think the right answer is No.
When phone is plugged in - wifi is always connected even after the screen turned off. So, this tweak would not work while phone is plugged in.
When phone is unplugged - wifi will stay offline always. So, this tweak is not applicable.
If you set the option to "Always" - wifi will stay connected during the screen off. So, this tweak does not work.
If you set the option to "Never" - This tweak only works for this option.
The purpose of this tweak is minimizing the waiting(idle) time until wifi moves to sleep mode after the screen turned off.

For this, I believe it's related to the value of wifi.supplicant_scan_interval which is normally defined at build.prop.
Check out the value from there.
These days the value 180 (3minutes) are normal for tweaking purpose. But for EPIC 4G Touch's case, it's default is 5seconds (causing lots of battery drain if you are moving around).
For example, if wifi is not available from some location, then your phone will try to searchthe available wifi network after x amount of times. If this value is too big, then it will look like wifi is not connected (so most of you, just try to reconnect the wifi manually before time comes). If the value is too small, again it causes the battery drain.
Once the wifi is connected, it keeps the connection based on the wifi policy. But if the connection is lost, then it will try again to search!
First of all, REALLY REALLY REALLY Really thank you for the reply mate.
My wifi supp value is set at "10"
I know this value only works when there are not any "known" access points in range.
The thing is, that it NEVER connects with screen off or on when i get back in range.
It only does it when i go to wifi settings (refreshes the list and connects without touching anything more!).
(of course, my wifi battery saving policy is set to "never" while screen is off)
Wifi stays on but it freezes AP scanning, while screen is off i guess.
Would a logcat help? Any tips about how to capture a good log about that issue?
Dear All,
I have this annoyance issue about high cell standby in idle time upto 90%, normally screen will eat most battery,
I search through forum and try to apply some tips but not work
exp: disable wifi auto scan, turn off wifi, forget network and clearcache ... and install AndroPlusMod (tick fix cell standby problem but then i cann't make any outgoing call, dial pad not response)
and also use "App Ops " to disable auto wake up but not work. It's only ok if i toggle the "air plain" mode
So Did anyone successfully fix this issue ? pls share with me and i think others will be applicable for their fone.
My device : Xperia ZL C6506, Android Lollipop 5.0.2
Brs

Install better battery stats to see what is your problem, after installing that, instal amplify to block whatever is consuming battery
my battery after that last even 2 day if i dont play or stay all day on the phone
Same issue on CM12.1 (Android 5.1.1 - 2015-07-15).
Only solution so far is a reboot.

trying with amplify, hope it will work on xposed framework alpha 4
Thank for your suggest
fews day on Amplify seems not help us.
It seem we must buy the donation package to use full limitation wakelock function.
Still need some wise advice

It´s a android bug and reaches all lollipop devices (not only sony).
You can see a bug report here:

I´ve got the same problem.
After turning mobile data off, i turn on wifi and reboot the phone. then you can turn off wifi and it´s ok.
