Good day. I'm using the Codename Android 3.6.5 ROM and I'm noticing a strange bug over there, which also met in CM10. When Wifi is turned on, if you put the phone in standby mode, simply the connection is disabled, and only returns after the phone comes out of standby.
Anyone else experiencing this problem?
PS: No topic posted in the ROM, because I have to have 10 post and bla bla bla, so I can post there.

Will the next nexus have a longer screen?

My friend, thank you for your help!
On the screen, I believe it will stay the same size, which for me, is the most "usable".

Sorry for the title. But is there a way to keep the WiFi connection active even when the phone sleeps.
My problem is when listening to slacker after the phone sleeps I loose the connection and slacker pauses. Slacker will continue as soon as I power up the phone.
This doesn't happen when on 3g.
Anyone know a setting to help with this issue.

Thanks. I knew it was somewhere. Just couldn't remember. Only problem now is, it was already set to never, and I think it was sleeping anyway. I'll try and reser it and seed it sticks.

**SOLVED** Need to "change the Wi-Fi sleep policy to "Never"." as per Drumrocker's instructions. Menu (Home Screen) -> Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Wi-Fi Settings -> Menu -> Advanced -> Wi-Fi Sleep Policy -> NEVER
I'm running Calkulin 2.8.1, which I installed on the EL29 Kernel, but have since switched my Kernel to Rouge 1.3.0. Also using the ICS 2.2 Theme. EL29 Modem.
Whenever I'm home, I use the WIFI connection to save battery. I've noticed, though, that when I take my phone out of sleep mode that the 3G will be connected. As soon as I unlock the phone, the WIFI kicks in and the 3G turns off.
Has anyone else noticed a similar issue? It's not a big deal, really, but I'm sure a lot of people here are like me and want to have everything running perfectly on their phones.
Perfectly normal, just change the Wi-Fi sleep policy to "Never".

This. Your wifi radio is powering off when you put your phone to sleep.
Problem has been solved. Thank you, chaps. I felt like quite the idiot fumbling around for 3 minutes before I realized I needed to hit the "Menu" button while inside of the "WIFI Options" screen...but problem solved nonetheless.
I've tried to duplicate this on mine a while back but even with the wifi sleep policy on it will never fall back to 3g. It would still be on wifi. Is that normal?

Ray, are you setting the WiFi Sleep Policy to "Never"?

Thanks for posting this; I was wondering myself! That's kind of counter-intuitive. Sort of like a "yo dawg, I heard you like menus...." moment.

Yes. I always have it on never but that same night I posted I decided to try again. Turned wifi on and set it to sleep when screen off. Checked back in 20 mins hit power button it was on wifi. Left it over night woke up and hit power button still connected to wifi. Either my wifi doesn't sleep or it connects right back mighty fast lol

Under WiFi Settings > Advanced > Keep Wifi on During Sleep I've got it set to "Only When Plugged In" to save some battery life.
However, the phone keeps changing the setting back to "Always".
Any ideas why?
Thanks.
Can't tell you why, but.... unless I'm mistaken, leaving this setting to "Always" is the preferred setting for battery life.
WiFi is more energy friendly than 3g/LTE.
Not sure about anyone else's phone, but when set to "always", the phone never goes to sleep.

Assuming you are on 5.0.1 Lollipop, did you factory reset after the update? Many people have experienced problems after the update but have seen factory resets correct problems.
While on the wifi settings page (the screen where you find the list of wifi networks available), touch the three dots in the upper right corner and select Advanced.
Uncheck (turn off) the option to "Always allow scanning"
You can also turn off the first option of Network notification to stop it from trying to find open networks in range.
hope this helps.

Thanks for the response,
I am on 5.0.1, I did factory reset twice, Cleaned cache multiple times
"Always allow scanning" is already turned off
Network notification is also turned off (unchecked)
Funny thing is , I put the phone in Airplane mode (wifi off too) for a while and battery graph still shows WiFi on and phone awake

The Wifi thing is a lollipop bug.
It'll always show as on even when it's off.

That bug must not hit every lollipop phone because my wifi doesn't show as on all the time. When it's off, it's off.

Weird... mine does.
Are you running any special apps (like battery savers)? What Wifi settings are you using? Is Power Saving Mode on or off?
I'm curious now. But yeah, several Note 4 users on the non-ATT Note 4 thread are reporting this issue as well and so were many Nexus users.

No battery savers or apps designed to conserve battery; power saving modes off. All I did to wifi settings was turn off scanning and notification. I have a long list of apps that I disabled since I knew for sure I wasn't going to use them. I screenshot them below if you're interested.

Ok I was wrong. My phone doesn't show wifi always on. I kept wifi off all day and it showed correctly. BUT I think it did show as always awake on the previous Lollipop update. (I'm on COC4 now).
And btw, I have all the same apps turned off as you except Samsung Push Service because it seems to not sync S Note with my Samsung account (I have a Note tablet too) and Amazon because I use it.
Update
I did some further digging , based on the amount of battery used.
1. Cerberus App was using a lot of battery, so uninstalled and re-installed it... the Constant AWAKE problem is gone
waiting a few days to make sure that problem was really gone
2. Uninstalled "LLAMA" app and now WiFi does NOT show as always on
Having the exact same issue on my galaxy s6. Just turned on clash after picking up the phone and the resolution looks like as compared to my joke Moto X (2013). It's worst when zoomed way out and fine when zoomed way in. Maggie everywhere. What the **** supercell.
Just like the title says, it uses over 22% of the battery just by leaving it next to the bed. When I have it on the network only it seems to be fine. I am rooted with using greenify and XPOSED. Any features in XPOSED that could fix this or should i just unroot and call it a day?!!?

This did not solve problems related to Wi-Fi drain for me. That is usually the first option I turn off, no matter what I do the Wi-Fi is always the second highest usage in the battery after the Android OS. See attached and this was 100% in standby mode overnight while sleeping.
Aaaaa okay
No this is normal, it's 8% of what you use during the night
Because you don't use a lot of battery during night, WiFi is the most that use battery
Edit your build prop
1.navigate in your filebrowser to /system/
2. Open the build.prop
3 edit the value of the WiFi scan interval to something like 400

Normally, I would agree with you however on my several other devices all running lollipop with sane usage my Wi-Fi never his more then 4% at most. The Wi-Fi does cause an issue of battery drain with this particular version. Could be any number of things. Even my note edge which has massive battery drain in standby doesn't get above 4%. Who knows. Just my 2 cents.
