Another potential problem, not a huge problem, but... - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Sometimes when my phone comes out of sleep mode, the wi-fi doesn't pick up at all, so I have to disable and then re-enable it.
I tried reinstalling the radio button and still nothing.
I have Battery Defender and GSAM Battery installed and thought maybe it had something to do with the settings there to save power, but there doesn't seem to be anything there that would affect the wi-fi.
Anyone with any thoughts?
Thank you

Battery defender might be putting your WiFi to sleep to save battery when your device goes to sleep.
Also check to make sure WiFi isn't set to standby on default.
Go into settings select WiFi tap menu button press advanced and make sure keep WiFi on during sleep is set to always or a similar setting

[Q] Does your WiFi go to sleep while screen is off?

Hey,
I've noticed no matter what settings I use for the WiFi sleep policy, it remains on and drains a bucket load of juice.
Any observations?
P.S. my bad, if there's a thread already. couldn't find it
Actually i am super glad. I like to still receive emails, new alerts, sport scores etc when phone is sleep. I would of returned the phone in a heart beat if I didnt have a data connection in sleep mode.
What setting you use.
In wi-fi,there is advance option where you can define sleep policy.

Hello,
You can adjust the WIfi option with *#0011# code on dialpad.
When entering ServiceMode, press the Menu button and select "WIFI".
Check if your WIFI Power Save Mode is turned On or Off.
Hope this help. :silly:

DSBS and battery monitor widget issues

1) Well for one, I'm on the newest stock rooted, I have greenify, DS Battery Saver so my 3G/WiFi turn off and sleep during screen-off....but sometimes when I turn things on.....everything works for fine like 5 minutes, but then randomly my wifi will NOT connect to my house's wifi network and itll use 3G....which is a huge battery killer....WHYYYYY
2) for battery monitor widget, the widget is NOT updating itself....when u go into the app, the mAh is not updating, it just says +0mah or whatever. there is no update, no nothing. i have no idea whats going on. ive already re-installed and it still happens like this. i love this app but now it doesnt work
Re: Retarded Issues
Did you disable the notification? -_- the phone will likely kill the app if you disable it as it had no exactly way to stay active. You need to set the notification to transparent or hide
It's worth a shot
I don't know how to "ungreenify" something....if I press the "play" button, it'll just start up the application and put it into "pending"
As for the Wifi name on my network, it's something like "FJKD33" its nothing too hardcore, but why would I change it?

Thank you. I think I got the Battery Monitor Widget issue fixed. What about the WiFi thing?

Did you read my post? Whats your wifi timeout interval?

Yeah I did....where do I see the timeout interval? DS BS turns it off when screen off, then on when its on. When I click "advanced", the wifi policy is set to "never"

[Q] Wifi won't connect until turning on screen

My WiFi doesn't seem to connect to saved hotspots until the screen is turned on. Whenever I get to work or back home and I don't turn on my phone; a couple hours later when I actually turn on the screen it connects. Does anyone else have this issue or know what might cause it? I'm not using any power saving apps or any apps that affect my network.
Try going into Settings-> Wifi -> Click menu button and select "Advanced" and make sure "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to always.

can anyone else verify this happens for them too? I have tried a complete format/wipe and loaded a stock 7105 rom and am still having the issue.
Maybe if you have power saver on, it does that? I know it's lot listed under what it's done, but you never know (;
Other than that, I can't think of anything other than keeping WiFi on during sleep.

it's off :< My roommate's S3 and my other roommate's N4 both auto connect without touching the phone. Once you turn the screen on it's already connected to wifi while mine is on edge until I power on the screen.
The only reason this is an issue is that I use grooveIP for calls through data, so if I have no reception here (i.e. no data) I won't be able to reliable receive calls unless I remember to power on my screen every time I come home.

HTC M8 data issue !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im having some issues with data connection on the new M8 issues i did not have with the M7
If my phones data connection has been idle when i try and go to a website or access facebook etc. the UP arrow below H will stay solid, the DOWN arrow will never light up and the request will just... do nothing. it will just stay loading a webpage or facebook wall for hours and hours and hours.
However, if i press the power button and either turn on and off flight mode or data network mode the H and arrows will dissapear, reappear, change 3G to H and then bam... internet is back on without a problem.
What could be causing the phone to somehow "turn off data" when its idle for long enough?
settings > power > sleep mode :good:

no, i turn off all power saver
help me
the only other things i would look at are, maybe changing the APNs. to see if there is anything wonky there or, check your fast dormancy in venom tweaks > misc. other things to check maybe is your phone info by using *#*#4636#*#* to check if your actually connected or disconnected, or in service or out of service. and what is going on with your network when all this is happening. lastly if that doesnt work i would flash a stock rom to see if its something hard coded into the rom.
i have the same problem, did you find a solution ?

WiFi Woes & Power Saver Problems

Having just returned to the latest stock firmware after a couple of weeks testing CM12.1, I am finding that even if I turn "Keep scanning on" off in advanced WiFi settings menu, it comes back on by itself. Also, when I check my battery stats, it nearly always seems to show a solid bar for WiFi regardless of whether my WiFi was turned on or not, regardless of whether always scanning is on or off, regardless of whether location is on or off... it seems to have no effect whatever the settings are.
I am also unable to use the Power Saver function. If I try to open it, I get the "Unfortunately power saver has stopped" message. I read that disabling the stock clock or calendar apps causes this problem, so I deliberately didn't do so. Are there any other stock apps that will stop power saver from working if disabled? I guess I may have to enable everything again and then disable one by one checking power saver each time to find the culprit, but that is a huge pain in the behind, so thought I'd ask you guys on xda first
