I am recently rooted and my wifi tether keeps disconnecting after just a few minutes. I am running stock rom with netarchy kernel. I tried different versions of the Wireless Tether app and I am currently running pre 7 which seems to stay connected the longest. But still disconnects. Any suggestions from the Masters would be great.
Thanks.
Seems to be a common problem with all versions of the app...

Happens when the screen shuts off. I just set my screen for a 20 minute timeout and it doesnt happen to me.
they need to add the "prevent sleep" feature and then it wouldnt be a problem. Not sure why they havent done this yet. this problem has been around for quite some time.
I had the same problem of it disconnecting on me after a few minutes. Turned out the problem on my system was a program called tasker that would turn the wifi on every few minutes to verify my location. When it did the check, it knocked tether off. Make sure you don't have a program running that would turn the wifi off.
I turned off the Screen Timeout and I got the same thing. It stayed connected for 7 minutes and then disconnected. This is driving me nuts.
I'm running Pre 9 and I haven't had a single disconnect for like the last 3 hours. Give it a try.
I was having the same issue. Disabled the wake lock...the screen dims, but never shuts off. I left it on all night the other night while downloading "things"...never timed out.

I turn on wifi and it connects fine, I do whatever...I press the power button to put the phone to sleep but I didn't disable the wifi before doing this.
I turn the phone back on, but the phone doesn't connect to the wifi network. It waits for me to do some action that needs wifi. Anyone have this happening? I've had a few occasions when wifi doesn't even attempt to connect as well, but not very often.
I'm running the stock ATT rom for now. This type of operation never happened with my fuze with a stock rom.
I know there is a hack to enable wifi even when the phone sleeps, and I have not tried that yet. A question about that..does the wifi stay connected even when the phone is in sleep mode which would cause the battery to drain faster?
I'm sure I'll be flashing a rom at some point but would like to get past my 30 day window for returns before doing so.
Thanks again..
Hi guys,
I have no data plan, and I use wifi at home. I have a Tasker script that turns wifi on when at home, but turns it off overnight to save battery and avoid cooking my delicate brains. At 6.30am, Tasker switches on wifi and normally the phone would then fetch email etc. whilst sitting on my bedside table, so when I wake up later and check the phone, everything is there waiting.
Recently, this has stopped working. Tasker is switching on wifi as normal, but wifi will not connect whilst the phone is asleep. If I wake the phone, wifi still won't connect however many times I wake it until I unlock the phone. Wifi then connects immediately. I have no problems holding a wifi connection at any other time of the day whilst the phone is asleep, and my wifi sleep policy is set to "never". It is only first thing in the morning I have this issue, so I assume it is related to Tasker switching wifi on whilst the phone is sleeping.
Anyone have any idea what could cause this? I changed from CM7.0.3 to CM7.1.0 recently, but I can't be sure if that coincided with my problems starting.
Thanks.
UPDATE:
I solved my own mystery in the end. I forgot to mention that in Tasker, as well as checking the time I am also doing a "cell near" check. When I remove that check everything work correctly. Tasker help mentions that cell location updates sometimes don't work reliably when the phone is sleeping, and that this is a bug in Android. I can only assume that updating from CM7.0.3 to CM7.1.0 introduced that bug for me.
Anyone have this issue, on a Verizon phone. I can literally watch my phone turn wifi on.
Ok this is real odd, when I turn on the screen it turns on wifi, connects, then disconnects wifi.. every time. Literally just started happening.
disregard.... my bad somehow Tasker profile for wifi being turned on when location sensed I am home somehow got turned on. I made the profile years ago, imported Tasker into mg G4 and it decided to turn that profile on so I was at a loss for what was going on since I never use said profile.
Just installed stock android 7 a week ago and the last few days wifi, Bluetooth (sometimes) and tethering (wired, wifi,bluetooth) will turn off if the screen turns off. And when tethering of working it is extremely slow. Like takes a few mins to load Google slow. Is anyone else noticing that this year and I've looked around and apparently the tethering being slow happens on Android 6 but that's after phone is been up for a couple of days I rebooted the phone and it was fast for 30 seconds. I'm getting speed test 40 megabits down from my server on my phone so that's not the problem
For wifi, you can try going into the wifi settings, clicking on the settings icon and change "keep wifi on during sleep" to always.
You can also try uninstalling and reinstaling the Google Connectivity Services app.
I have an old Tab S from AT&T running 6.0.1. I've owned it since they first came out, and it's always worked fine until just this week. I usually leave it in airplane mode when I'm not using it because its battery has always drained faster than I'd like when its online, but this has never been a problem. I only use it for an hour or less most days anyway.
The other day I turned off airplane mode but WiFi wouldn't come on... the icon turns on dim for a minute, then goes off, and manually enabling it doesn't work. The on/off slider in settings slides over but stays gray, then eventually turns itself off.
The first time this happened I rebooted and that fixed it.
A couple days later it happened again and now I can't fix it. I've restarted, I've power cycled it, and I've cleared the data cache... no change.
Bluetooth works, location works, and cell data works.
Also now when I boot up, I get an error "Process System Isn't Responding. End task or wait?" It doesn't seem to matter which option I choose.
Any thoughts?
Some how your system might get conflicted with your app or system apk get corrupted?Reset tablet or reflash os with odin.The worst situation,just rooted and install custom rom.
