How do i activate wireless automatically when it starts windows mobile 6? so i don't have to click around all the time.
Try enabling that option in Shap's Advanced Config
It seems, in my experience, that once I turn it on, it stays on. But it will have to reconnect after the screen goes off.
You might be able to use advanced config (I haven't tried) to enable wireless in standby.
you mean the program (attached image)?
Are you sure it's there? I must have missed it...
No whenever i turn the device off wlan is turned off upon booting it up.
Go to 'more settings'.
I'm looking for a way to put display off WITHOUT put device in standby mode.
If I push on power button device goes in standby and all interfaces are disabled (gps, usb, ecc..).
Any suggestions?

I use Laurentius L26 V2.2 and I can use Navigon after switching off the display via power button and I´m sure the other ROM I was using did it the same way. Using WiFi while in standby you can enable/disable using tools like advanced config

I tried a lot of times and with many roms to use tomtom, sygic and others but when I push the power button device goes in standby and gps goes off.
Also trying to use ModemLink app device disable usb when I push the power button. The same with ActiveSync.
Are you sure about gps and usb still work after push power button?

Hi,
this is a good starting point.
ActiveSync and ModemLink work!
Otherwise GPS still goes off!!!!!!!
Why this? Is there something to configure in registry?

First of all what GPS program are you talking about here?
Why you need to switch off screen while gps is working
Because main reason for gps program is finding or recording roads while you are seeing its performance on screen.

I'm using Sygic and TomTom7.
Reasons are two:
- to lower as much as possible the battery drain...
- disable touch screen. If I put device in lock also with screen on gps goes off!
I need to use device only as POI alert. I tried also some POI alert dedicated software but with no results... gps is always put off.
guys, is there any point turning off WiFi when not in use, or does it do the decent thing and stop using power when not actively in use?

I'd imagine it still scans for networks so it will still use battery - I just have the toggle on one of my home screens and turn it on when needed

from Market, get WiFi Status from Andrew Schwimmer, one of the very best android app developers. It doesn't do exactly what you want but it's the smartest detection app out there for letting you know when there is no wifi signal to connect to, thus prompting you to toggle off wifi. It displays in the Notification Bar.
As for turning off wifi, I tried about 10 home screen widgets; they are all the same more or less. To me the far greater tool is Quick Settings, which gives you one-click access from anywhere via the Notification Bar, vs having to navigate to home screen and find the widget. But in addition it has toggles for sound, brightness, data, gps, bluetooth, etc -- all in on fast app.
I think it blows all these single-function widgets away as dumb.
So if my phone is on, screen off, in my pocket, it'll be constantly looking for wifi? If this is the case it's, well, dumb. Ta for tip about quick settings, just installed it and it's very nice.

Not sure it would be scanning for wifi when the screen is off. That would be daft. Ntework coverage yes, but wouldnt think wifi until you turn on the screen. Anyone confirm?
no, it stays on when the screen is off.
Seems so many people complained about it turning off in standby that google went ahead and changed it.
now it defaults to staying on forever until manually turned off.
Go to Settings> Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi Settings > [Menu] > Advanced > Wi-Fi sleep policy. I set mine to 'after 15 mins'... if I understood this setting correctly then after 15 minutes of the phone being in Sleep mode it'd turn off the Wi-Fi. I don't use mobile data anyway so that's irrelevant. Wi-Fi will turn on again once I activate the screen.
blimey, that's well hidden.
what a stupid arrangement. WiFi should be on demand, and enabled only when data requests it, like the iPhone.

I use "Y5 - Battery Saver" for my wireless shenanigans
I am using 'Y5 battery save'r. It turns on wifi if you are on a location where you had a wifi connection and turns it off if you go elsewhere. You can manage the locations in the program. It can use the GPS or radio for the locations. You will find it in the market place.
This is my only major niggle with this phone. I use it to track my cycling (speed & pace on screen) and it turns off halfway to work. This morning I used it in the car with Maps open and the traffic layer on (no need for Navigation, just wanted traffic info) and that again turned off after 10 minutes.
I know apps can set it so the screen stays on, but even Googles own Maps app doesn't do it.
Anyone else find this annoying?
Go to Settings, scroll to section 'SYSTEM'. Select 'Developer Options'. Tick 'Stay Awake' - screen should never turn off when charging. Probably won't help when you are cycling, but screen will stay on when on charge.

You could try some of the apps in the Android market such as Screen Timeout Widget or AnyScreenTimeout.
Not sure if these are compatible with Ice Cream Sandwich, but they'd be worth a shot. There's others there as well you could try out.
Here's a fix... Use the "always on" toggle in the app Extended Controls. I have just tried this and it works for me

i have 2 gnex phones that both just updated to 4.2, and prior to the update, when i turned on airplane mode, cell data would turn off but wifi would be left on.
after the 4.2 update, one phone continues to work that way, with airplane mode on, cell data is turned off but wifi is left on. the other phone, enabling airplane mode turns off both wifi and cell data.
i know that apps are not able to toggle airplane mode anymore (AutoAP) because of security changes but why would airplane mode work differently on 2 phones running the same 4.2 build?
both phones are running stock android, no root, no flashing.
is there a setting i'm missing? was this something in the update that other people are experiencing?
thanks for the help!
Can't you just toggle wifi back on after?

yes, but it immediately shuts wifi back off.
with airplane mode on, i can go to the wifi settings screen, and hit the toggle, it turns on, scans, finds the local wifi, connects and at the same moment it connects the wifi on/off toggle flips back to off.
just seems weird that it is happening with this phone but mine is working as expected...
Then you must go back to 4.1.2 with 4.2 gapps.

any idea why it would work with one 4.2 phone and not the other?
seems odd i'd have to backport one phone but leave the other at 4.2
This happens on my Nexus 4. Airplane mode constantly disables WiFi, no matter what. And yes the app AutoAP doesn't work either.
I have found this app, Airplane Mode Wi-Fi Tool, funny that it was made for Android versions prior to 2.0.
The actual app doesn't seem to work (to enable/disable airplane mode and WiFi), but within the app lies a nifty feature in the Preferences menu under Extras:
Keep Wi-fi On
Wi-fi on Airplane Mode
Check both of those and you should be able to turn Airplane mode on and then keep WiFi on.
Cheers.

im on ARHD 7.0.0 and even in prior versions, when airplane mode was turned on wifi would turn off but it could be turned back on. how come your wifi stays on during the airplane mod transition?
Isn't airplane mode means disable any active radio transmission includes Wi-Fi which is sent and receive data ?
If you just wanna stay off calls why don't you just use automatic redirect incoming calls to voice mail or just simply pull out the sim card?

Airplane mode is supposed to turn wifi off (its a transceiver). However, You can turn it back on while airplane mode is activated and still have the other functions off.
That how airplane mode is supposed to work, thats not a bug, every phone ive had does this

i don't know why, but wifi always has always stayed on when switching to AP mode since i got our Gnex phones in sept. (4.1 i think). wifi even stayed enable when switching to AP mode in my old crappy kin two.
and i think it must be fairly common based upon the instructions in the $30 cell service thread, but i'm no android expert so maybe i'm wrong.

There's a lot of talk about this. Check the [GUIDE] to voip/$30/month plans. But it sounds like google moved it into part of core services or something like that. So none of the autoap type programs work any more. But one member had this suggestion below in that other thread. Gotta buy Tasker, but should be able to get back to working like AutoAP did.
Download Secure Settings. Launch Secure Settings, go over to the Helper tab and install the helper. Then go to Tasker. Go into your task and delete the Airplane Mode radio step and the Airplane mode on step. Then hit the + at the bottom left, go to Plugins, select Secure Settings. Hit edit. Scroll down to "Airplane Mode Radios" and select it, and then select "Cell" from the dropdown. Hit the save button at the bottom left and select the check mark to create the task. Move the task where it needs to be by dragging on the right side up and down. Then create a new task, Plugins, Secure Settings, edit, Airplane mode, on, save button, check mark, move to position. You can figure out the rest. Works perfectly.
Llama works as well, it's free and looks less complicated

Many thanks. Got this working after playing with Secure Settings and Tasker, works great...:good:

keep wifi on in airplane mode
I guess I have figured out how to do it with Tasker or Secure Settings.
Both have two actions like "Airplane Mode" and "Airplane Radios", so the second one doesn't turn off anything, but set, what to control with "Airplane Mode" action. Setting seems to be system wide and permanent (saved after reboot).
Good luck
