Anyone notice that when you have the screen off and wifi on your downloads from the browser dont continue to download? I have the same issue with dropbox exporting as well. I have the wifi sleep policy to always on (never turn off) in the settings too. Any idea?
I have noticed that also. It doesn't make sense to have the screen on the whole time you are downloading a large file though. I'm assuming the wifi never sleep setting is not working.

Did it work?
heavy power saving kicks in when the screen is off, so transfers pretty much drop dead. You'll have to keep the screen on when transferring large files

I wish there was a way to stop this from happening. Sometimes I transfer a bunch of music from my NAS over SMB. It takes a little time. It's a pain in the rear to keep touching the screen to make sure the transfer doesn't die. It seems like "Keep wifi on during sleep" policy should fix that but it doesn't. What exactly does that setting do if not that?
My guess is that maybe it would be nice if the file explorer apps had a setting to "Keep phone awake while transferring files". I'll have to start looking into that to see if I'm just missing that setting.
I dont know why the wifi sleep policy setting doesnt work for some people. But mine does, wifi stays on with the screen off for hours. I often download large files and it works just fine leaving it idle with screen off.
sorry to hijack - slightly off topic but i lose signal when the screen is off
any thoughts on that also guys?

Me too. Noticed randomly that the WiFi started turning off when the screen was off, and it seems the sleep policy was changed automatically somehow... but I switched it back and I haven't had any issues since.

Mine was set correctly. It appears changing it, exiting settings, then re-enabling it may have fixed it.

Wifi Fixer by Zanshin-g1 once you download this app it will monitor your wifi real time and get rid of any connectivity issues when they are about to strike. I found it to be the perfect app to solve wifi issues. I hope it helps you aswell.

You could use an app like Tasker to set the display timeout to n hours if your file manager app is on the foreground. Add an exit task to reset it to default timeout if the file manager is no longer on the foreground.

I don't know if anyone has had this problem before or not but when I play pandora, siriusxm, or any internet streaming service it will stop playing after about 5-8 minutes. it seems like the phone is going to sleep and turns off the data even though I have the enable always-on mobile data checked. is there another setting that I missed or is this an ongoing problem.
edit: I should mention that I do not have it charging when this happens, and it is only when I stream over mobile data and it doesn't matter if I have the enable always-on mobile data checked or not.
I have this problem too

I listen to Pandora all of the time to and from work and never have this happen, but I will make a point of trying to cause it and see what it takes to fix it.
Do you maybe have a task killer that's the culprit?
do you have "Enable always-on mobile data" unchecked to save battery? When i did this I experienced similar issues.

as I stated in my first post I have the enable always-on mobile data checked, so it should be always on(theoretically). I have a task killer but it isn't set to auto kill anything when the screen turns off, and the app doesn't close or anything, it just loses data connection about 5-8 minutes after the screen turns off all I have to do is turn the power back on and it will start playing after about 10-20 seconds but that can get annoying.
Are you using wifi? If so I believe by default the phone turns off wifi if the screen if off after 10 minutes or so. That would cause it.

my problem is specific to mobile data, I don't use wifi much so I don't know if the same problem exist while using wifi
I have always on mobile data off and I don't experience these issues.
I used Pandora all the the time too, no problem. You aren't going to want to hear this, but, I'd factory reset, put Pandora on ONLY, and try it. If OK, load one or 2 programs at a time until you find the culprit, and do the same for changing settings, change them slowly between testing.
I have this EXACT same problem too. I will be using Pandora on mobile data at the gym and after 4 or 5 songs the audio will stop. If I turn the screen on, the audio starts again. Pandora is still open so it is not an auto-kill thing. I am not using WiFi. I've gotten used to it but it is annoying.
It's definitely enable always on data.
I reenabled data always on. Haven't had a chance to try it just yet though.
2 thoughts - If you are using the audio plug, try a different one. I went through 3 as some would wiggle a little and hit the mic contact and cause the phone to go nuts, Pandora, media player, voice dialer... all started working.
Second - I received an update notice for Pandora yesterday. Try it.
yes, happens to me also. everyone here saying hard reset, or they don't have the problem, you're not understanding him. It's a known issue for HTC phones in general. when their screens go off they pretty much stop working about 75%.
I've had the tp, tp2, and incredible and everyone of them had this issue.
If you get the program called Smart Alarm Clock, it even says it's a firmware problem that when you turn the screen off sleep tracking will halt. (sleep tracking uses the G-sensor)
i'm telling you, i had the exact problem, as soon as i rechecked "enable always on mobile data", problem fixed.
well I hard reset my phone (in between rooting the thing) and I haven't had the problem come back yet. fingers crossed.
me and my room mate have this same problem with both of our Atrices. Neither one of ours has the "always on mobile data" option anywhere on the phone... what do we do?
seems simple enough, go find you a rooted incredible.....

do you have a task killer on yours at all?
Do you use any kind of "battery saver" software?
So I've noticed that wifi prevents my device from sleeping thus going through battery much faster than it should. According to spare parts, the time without sleeping with wifi on is usually around 70% no matter the screen on time. With wifi off, the time without sleeping is close to the screen on time.
Does this happen to anybody else? Anybody know why this is or if there is anything that can be done about it? I suppose it is not such a big deal, I can just leave it off and only turn on when needed and I am definitely glad I figured out what it was that kept my device from sleeping. But if anybody knows why this happen and how to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Isn't there a setting which allows wifi to sleep under menu--advanced? I turned it to always on under 2.1 Eclair because it never seemed to wake up fast enough, but maybe under Froyo it's better.
WiFi sleep setting should always be set to "Never" on the Epic. Any other setting is known to cause system sleep issues.

That is what mine is set to.
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"
edlivian said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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?
So I want to have Pandora play continuously, as it currently stops when the screen locks. After some searching, it looks like the fix is to keep mobile data always on.
However 'Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Enable always-on mobile data' DOES NOT EXIST. What gives?
From what I can tell by doing a simple Google image search, the only phones to even have this option are pre ICS/JB.
If the option has been removed, is there any way to bring it back? If not, can I do anything else to have Pandora keep playing after the screen has been locked for a few minutes? I don't have any battery optimization apps (JuiceDefender, etc) installed that could be causing data to drop.
I'm on a GSM Galaxy Nexus (T-Mobile) running 4.1.1 rooted.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.
Pandora stops playing when your screen turns off? That seems more like a network throttling problem. Once your screen turns off it throttles down to 2g? I've never had a problem with pandora not playing when the screen locks.
Yeah, the next song wont load.
I don't think it's throttling down to 2G, I'm pretty sure it just disconnects from mobile data.
I'm not the only one with this issue (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698172)
That is very strange.
Instead of trying to set data to always on, try setting screen on to always on.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Data always on while the screen is off is the default. There is no settings option to control what happens with mobile data when the screen is off. There's an option for WiFi, but not mobile data.
Are you sure you don't have an app that's turning off your mobile data when your screen is off? That's usually what's happening in these situations.
Could also be an issue with Pandora. Have you tried other apps and experienced the same thing? Also, you'd be able to see the data being turned back on when you turn the screen on (it takes several seconds). If you turn the screen on and it shows its connected in the status bar, the data isn't turning off and you're having another problem.

I'm sure there is no other app that's controlling this. I did however mess around with multiple 'toggle' apps when I first got the phone. Maybe I toggled the wrong thing. Would the setting stick even through an un-install of the app?
When I unlock the phone sometimes, the internet icon in the status bar is grey. It turns to blue shortly after. From what I have read though, this is normal to some extent, right?
I think you're right about this being a Pandora issue. I just realized that I use the default music app to stream all of my music through Google Play with the phone locked for hours on end and no issues at all.
Not sure how to fix Pandora though. The songs stop playing even on wifi when I lock the screen. I even have 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' set to Always. I'd hate to not use Pandora much because of this, since I just find out how to get unlimited skips and no ads.

It's not the app. Been using Pandora since I got the Gnex with no issues. Do you have some battery saving app? That may turn off data when screen is off...
Edit: Also AOKP has the auto data off in settings I believe.. are you on stock rooted ROM? I saw you say you have no app but something is turning off your data.

WIFI high performance totally works! Thank you. The strange thing is even though the app doesn't work over mobile data (obviously), Pandora magically started working with the phone locked on mobile data. I even uninstalled the app, and it still works over. However, it won't continue streaming for me on wifi unless I enable WIFI high performance. Not a huge deal, I'm just happy it works.

SOLVED: See this follow-up post; it's one of those 7 things!
Hi! After updating to LK3 (the stock 4.1.1 JB update), my Wi-Fi stays on even after I put the phone to sleep (contrary to the setting "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep: never (increases data usage)." See attached pics.
I have disabled thus far:
1) Google Now
2) Location Services "Use wireless networks" and "Location and Google search"
3) Location reporting: now set to "Location manually selected on the map"
4) Latitude location sharing
5) Location history
6) Automatic check-ins
7) Check-in notifications
Basically, everything I could find related to location. But, alas, that battery screenshot is after I changed all of those! Wi-Fi isn't on constantly, but it stays on way longer than just when I have the screen on.
What are my options here? How should I diagnose this sucker? I ran BetterBatteryStats, but they said it looked fine with my log (some apps, through the ambiguous "Alarms" partial wakelock, were the largest cause, but only accounted for 3.6% of the time).
I'm pretty sure this is a post-update problem, as before, whenever I unlocked my phone, I got the little notification, "Connected to #SSIDName#" and the Wi-Fi icon would obviously, then, be off for the first few seconds (and when I opened my browser too quickly, I'd get a "Page cannot be displayed" error).
Thanks in advance, I'll take any ideas/thoughts/help/sympathy/antipathy you can offer,
Same problem here. Before the update, it was doubletwist air sync forcing wifi on at all times. That's disabled now, so I have not clue. Hopefully somebody figures it out. Mine isn't even intermittent, it's always on, and I have the same setting as you.
So, I left my phone alone for the night and these programs used Wi-Fi while the screen was off:
Do you have any of the same apps? I'm going to uninstall Google+, Facebook, and GroupMe today and run this again tomorrow. But, looking at pure download amount, it's something on the OS....
If you're interested in doing the same, the app is My Data Manager ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...e&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=my+data+manager).
Basically, install the app, but do not open it. When you're ready for bed (or any extended period of not using it), open it, and then minimize it (runs in the background). Hit your sleep button immediately (we don't want to capture anything of the phone when the screen is on). Then, when you wake up/need to use it, wake it up, immediately disable Wi-Fi (again, no artifacts from when the phone was awake), take a look at My Data Apps (2nd page), Wi-Fi.
I'll let you know how my second attempt goes.
The only one I have is Facebook, but yeah it definitely looks like the os.

Well! Maybe I should have given it a little while longer, as it seems to be quite a bit better!
It still stays on longer than the screen, but now at least it shuts off once in a while, haha. It was either uninstalling Facebook, gMail, or GroupMe OR disabling one of those earlier settings...it's still not totally fixed, though. I found the Network Counter app which seems to be a little more specific, so we'll see how it goes tonight,

Hmm this is what mine looks like from today. Wifi didn't go off until I did it manually.

Have you disabled the location stuff? Those are what really helped me. I'm off to run the overnight test, with the new app!
i am having the same issues. my wifi since the jelly bean update has been always on.... the wifi bar in battery settings is solid and has never been off.... so frustrating.
Try "Green Power" app.
I use it to disable both wifi and data 20secs after screen off.
There is a Whitelist and a minimum threshold trigger too.
It works PERFECT in ICS.
At bedtime, I get .5% hr battery drain or better.

Awesome, thanks for the info! Exactly, I don't mind Google Now using the Wi-Fi, but then that opens the door for everything to use the Wi-Fi which will kill the battery when I get back to work.
Network Manager didn't work for some reason, so I tried Data Detective, but the stupid app consumed 90% of the Wi-Fi last night!
The only thing I've heard against battery savers is that they force apps to not use the data, and then they keep asking (creating overhead). I wouldn't have believed it out right except it came from the developer of BetterBatteryStats. But your battery loss isn't bad at all (overnight I average 0.4%/hour with the screen off).

I slightly edited my statement. I get .5% hr or better.
Curious...if you average .4%...
- what rom?
- and what is your lowest cpu freq?
- and is that with data and wifi off?

Haha, right, I thought that's what you meant!
I'm on stock AT&T. Everything is stock; CPU Spy tells me 384Mhz. WiFi on, data off.
Why don't you guys disable it in settings? Open Wi-Fi in settings. Click menu button. Click advanced. Turn off Wi-Fi during sleep. Ta-da!

Yeah, that's an alternative...but if I have a setting that's supposed to turn it off when it goes to sleep, I'd like it to do that.

That's right, well said....hence the opening post!
I have the same issue, wi-fi is always on unless I turn it off.
I'm happy. It's one of those location settings in the first post that caused the locks! Let me know if it works for you guys,
