Tilt2 wifi issue after the phone sleeps

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..

WIFI Tether Keeps Disconnecting.

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.

[Q] Phone shutting off with WiFi enabled

As soon as I turn WiFi on, my phone will reboot. Last night I was able to be on WiFi for about 30 mins until the issue started occurring, then after that it wouldn't last more than a few seconds before rebooting.
I am running Cyanogen 7.0.3. Any suggestions would be great.
Edit: Might this have something to do w/ WiFi Calling? Turned it off within the app and am not having issues at the moment.

I have the same question basically. I keep wifi on all the time at home. About 2 weeks ago my phone started rebooting randomly/intermittently. Would be OK for 5 hours, then reset. 1 hour later, reset again. Good for 8 hours, then reboot 3 times in 30 minutes.
- I am not overclocked
- Tried brand new SD
- Reflashed latest radio
- no new apps
If I turn wifi off at home, it seems to be ok.

some devices do have wifi issues regarding cm. there is supposedly a fix available in the development section. ive never had issues with wifi on cm, so i dont know much about the fix

[SOLVED] Sleeping phone won't connect wifi when enabled by Tasker

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.

Wi-Fi turns off when phone in deep sleep

Hi, I saw many posts related to this topic Wi-Fi turns off when phone in deep sleep but not able to find a single working solution.
My phone runs on 4.2.1 with wi-fi sleep policy set to NEVER ( that means always on ideally ) , and tried turning on / off wifi optimization, avoid poor connections is not ticked.
Even after doing everything the wifi is turned off after sometime and when i turn on Screen it turns it back! How to do I solve this?? I am using STOCK rom, with just root.. No other battery saver etc. app installed.

well i have this problem too on every jelly bean rom. the only rom without this problem in cm10 stable. now i'm with cm10.1 hoping they'll fix it like in cm10.
when that problem comes out just toggle on and off airplane mode and it should disappear until next wifi toggle off and on.
I hope google will solve it in key lime pie

CM 10.1 has only just started doing this in the last week or so, it was fine before. Was wondering if it was just me with this issue or not...

Am i correct in understanding that you don't want it to disconnect? The option in the settings is "Keep wifi on during sleep". If you have it at Never, then it will disconnect when the phone goes into sleep. It should be placed on Always because you want it to be on even during sleep

fixed the wifi problem
Heya! My first post!!!
So, i had the same problem on my Allview P5 Quad.
The guys from Allview released an update for my phone based on 4.2.1 and i thought the problem was from them. I had WiFi turned on and after a few minutes from entering sleep mode, the WiFi got disconnected, both WiFi and data. I have installed the last update again and again, rooted, unrooted, tried every option from WiFi and i still had the same problem.
So i timed the time when the WiFi disconnects and it was exactly 6 minutes. So i thought that it must be an option that does this. So i unchecked the Quick Power Saving icon from Switches and ... SURPRISE! My WiFi stays on continuously. So, the problem is from the system power saving settings. I hope this helps all of you.
P.S. Love this forum! Thanks for all your help!

I believe I found the problem, some how it is not the phone but my wifi router (and all routers) is the problem. Go into your router settings and look for the "Beacon Interval" and set that number to 50. I'm not going to explain what the beacon interval is, go google it and you will see. I switched mine and now the wifi on my phone does not switch off when in deep sleep.
