Is there a way to shut your screen off but let apps/wifi (ie airsync, syncing your music files through wifi) run with your display off. Currently shutting off my screen while airsync is syncing files makes my screen blink on and off. I was wondering if its possible to just shut my screen and have airsync run in the background.
Bonus: How would I set a timeout for the wifi?
Anyone have a quick solution to this?
For Wifi Go to Wifi Settings>(Press Menu) Advanced> Keep Wifi On During Sleep> Never > Wifi Idle timeout, and set to what you wish.

Before I start I want to make this clear
Yes, my wifi policy is on "never" and I have pressed menu>save rather than just exiting out.
[Q] When my screen shuts off, after around 10-20 minutes my wifi disconnects (i can tell by checking router status on my comptuer to see attached devices) and when I turn on my phone and unlock it will go from 3g > wifi right away. The reason I want wifi on constantly is because the wifi radio uses less power than the 3g radio.
Now I'm aware that some roms have an option to turn off radio for 3g/wifi when not in use and will turn them on when the system needs to update/sync. However, my wifi is set to "never" sleep and there is no "always enable mobile data" option on my rom. I'm wondering why it will disconnect my wifi when my policy is set to never.
ROM:
MIUI 0.12.11 (0.12.3 fixed the wifi disconnect problem, but 0.12.11 is a newer rom)
bcblend 2.6.32.25 cfs stable (SBC custom)
First time android user here! I have a GSM GN:
1. So far I am not loving the battery life. I have juice defender installed which definitely increases idle battery life but my main issue is screen time. I understand that a 4.6in screen has these tradeoffs but nevertheless, what tweaks/ROMs/etc would you recommend to get more screen time?
Has anybody tried franco's and faux123's kernel on the same phone?
I've tried the obvious : Brightness > auto or low, Screen time out > 15s, Juice defender, gps/bluetooth/NFC off
ROMs I have tried: AOKP + Stock kernel, Apex 1.0 + Apex kernel
2. What is the difference between these two settings :
Code:
Settings > Data Usage > Mobile Data
Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Data Enabled
Both of them appear to have the same effect (turn 2g/3g off completely).
3. What is the deal with signal bars and Wifi icon is status bar changing colour from gray to blue? Does it turn blue when it is being used?
When I am connected to my home network, the wifi icon sometimes shows 2 bars and sometimes no bars(grey). All my other devices show full bars.
1. I wouldn't use any of this power saving apps since they keep the phone awake, but that's up to you.
2. Everything between 3-4h screen on time is normal and it will be more or less the same on all Android phones.
3. GPS and Bluetooth shouldn't be that much of a problem since their battery consummation is very low when you'r not using them.
4.Connect to WIFI every time it's possible. Do not set any profiles that it switches of when the screen is off. Unless your going to no data or airplane mode. WIFI uses less energy than 3G.
5. When the icons are blue you're connected to the Google servers. Which means your phone is able to receive gmails and gtalk messages and can sync your data from the GAPPS.

Thanks!
Although I'm not sure I agree with #1. SetCPU shows that my phone goes into deep sleep most of time. JD disables both wifi AND data when phone goes to sleep, so it does not matter that much if you're not connect to wifi. Ofcourse, I use wifi as much as possible especially since I only have 500mb of data.
Hi everyone,
Is the WiFi sleep policy working properly?
I've always belived that the leaving WiFi on durning the night (sync is left on) and it would take less power than using 3G (especially in a bad area)...
Basically, I leave my WiFi on, with the sleep policy set to never (uses more power), but looking at the battery stats, it turns off...
Please see screen shots attached... You can see that WiFi turns off...
Is this a bug?
Thanks, Matt
for some reason, both wifi and data turn off during the night. This is apparent when turning the phone on - gmail alerts of new email that was sent during the night.
So all data turns off durning the night? surely there is a setting for this?
I do see that me g-mail emails come through at 7 o clock in the morning...
hmmmm strange!
Thankis for the reply!
It's a common issue:

I'm experiencing it too..
It's not only during the night, but it seems that during the standby the HOX suspend randomly the connectivity
same here.
Must be a battery save that HTC implemented.
We should def have the option to change this though.
lol mine is the opposite. I set my wifi to sleep when screen is off, but it keeps changing back to always on when screen off.
Kinda annoying
Hello,
For some reason the phone turns off mobile data and WiFi the second I turn off the screen using the button.
The only way I can see this is that I have to keep the screen on or else uploads and downloads fail, and also that I cannot use AirDroid when the screen is off. I have checked that WiFi is set up to never be in sleeping state regardless of phone state (Settings -> Wireless -> Advanced -> Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep).
My Galaxy Nexus is running the stock version of Jellybean, does anyone have a clue why this is happening?
Firmware B111, kicking out of wifi when screen goes off. Wifi is set up "never go off", but still it goes.
I see it on "Smart Profiles",(tried "Profile Flow" also), as I made a rule based on home wifi to switch BT off, when I'm at home.
After some time, when screen goes off, it turns BT on. When I take the phone, it "see" wifi and switches BT off again. In log file of Profile Flow I can see, how the "HOME" profile goes on and off every 5-10 or 15 minutes.
So, the problem is- why WIFI does not keep on all the time. All the possible battery savers are taken off, but still no constant wireless network connection during phone sleep...
And my wifi based profiles don't work as they suppose to...
double check power save option?
