[Q] Wi-Fi auto turns off, even with policy "never" - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

My wi fi connection automatically goes off when I lock the screen, so I can't receive any kind of notifications that require data connection or using AirDroid, for example... Does someone has any solution?

WiFi problems

I got my desire yesterday. Really love this phone. But I got a problem. The WiFi works as it should. But it stops working after I wake the phone from sleep mode. I have to toggle WiFi off then on again to get it work.
Is there a solution?

How long did you wait after awakening the phone?
It takes mine 2-4 mins to restart the connection after awakening, automatically. It's always worked.

Hmm.. I found out, Desire actually still connected to my WiFi router during sleep.
So there is no problem with reconnection at all.
I tried to wait 4-5 min. ord still connected but the ip wasent refreshing.

You can change this setting by doing the following:
Go to Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi Settings. Click the Menu button again and select the Advanced option. Select Wi-Fi sleep policy and then set the relevant option.

That doesn't help I've had my desire on that option since I got it yet the wi-fi constantly goes idle and stops checking for updates etc, the only time I get email notifications on my phone is when I stay on mobile data.
Already on "never".
Somtimes the WiFi works, somtimes it dont.

Roaming noise

Guys,
Since tmpbile and orange merged, I automatically roam between them.
Each time the phone switches, it plays the notification sound, even when ringer is off - its driving me nuts.
Appears to be no way to turn off in software either.
Anyone any ideas?

I don't know how you could miss it though, you'd have been there to check the option directly above it to enable Data roaming!
Oh, for fuu......! Thanks. You're utterly right. I could have sworn that wasn't there a minute ago!
Thanks

WiFi automatically turning back on

Was struggling to find out why my Wi-Fi would turn itself back on after turning it off. I went into the Settings -> Wifi -> Advanced and disabled "Always allow scanning", and yet it would still renable wifi and try to connect to hotspots.
Turned out that the culprit was the Xfinity WiFi App. There was an option in there to disable it.
Was driving me crazy and couldn't find anything about it in the Note 4 section so figured I'd share.
..
Thank you. This has been driving me crazy

Detailed battery history shows wi-fi allways on

Hi everyone, when checking my detailed battery usage, my phone showed that the Wi-fi had been on all the time, even though its turned off in the settings? Anyone else have this issue? Or does anyone know how to fix it?

Not questioning your knowledge but I saw that everytime I used maps it gave me a location settings pop-up and if you pick yes it switches on WiFi and Bluetooth scanning for location. Check if that's the case.
Else it could be a hardware issue.
I had this also on my Nexus... And wondered how to turn wlan off...
Go to Wifi -> 3 dots on corner -> Advanced Wifi
Check for a setting named "Keep Wifi on during Sleep" and it will have 3 options (set to "Always" by default).
Choose "Never" and it may pop-up a warning of increased data usage.
Check battery life after 3-4 hours (with Wifi toggle OFF) to see if the graph shows anything in that Wi-Fi row for those 3 - 4 hours (i bet it wont )
Simple!!
Same for me, i have done this fix but wifi is shown on in the battery menu. Hotspot is off... I don't Know...

If you have viber go to general settings > WiFi sleep policy and check use device's settings.
Ive also discovered that my Oneplus 3t seems to switch on and off the WiFi when I'm using it. Have switched off the scanning too. Any ideas why?
If you use High Accuracy location settings it will turn on your GPS and your WiFi. Google's device manager will use high accuracy settings and you will get GPS and WiFi on almost all the time.
Try setting you location to device only, which means GPS only. This will stop it from using WiFi for location reporting
