Can someone answer what may be wrong. I have set tasker to turn WiFi on w screen on and off w screen off. It works in the the way that when I turn on the screen and unlock WiFi gets enabled. It also shuts off when I shut the screen off. The problem I'm having is it will disconnect while browsing the internet or any app or such that needs a connection.
I have it set as display state on and WiFi on... then display off and WiFi off. Is this not the right inputs?

OK so I thought I had it figured out. I set display state on = WiFi on and display state off= WiFi off. It was working just how I wanted. Then I started noticing when I turned the screen on WiFi was running and BBS confirmed out of the 5 hrs on batt WiFi was running for 4 hrs. Deleted the schedules and redid them and still not working. It was but now its not. What am I doing wrong?

Does keeping wi-fi on all the time, while setting it's sleep policy to never affect battery?
I forgot to turn wi-fi off last night, and noticed this morning that my phone didn't sleep since wi-fi was turned on. Is this normal?

your phone not sleeping and wifi being sleep never are two separate things. i have turned that on weeks ago and my phone still sleeps, you might have something else that is keeping your phone awake - app, restored add TB, kernel, rom

Well, when I turn off my wi-fi my phone sleeps... So if this isn't normal, then maybe it's an issue with the Rom I'm using. Even though the phone shows 100% awake time, my battery life isn't an issue.

Is it possible to switch LTE off and switch to only 3G data when the screen turns off and then back to LTE when the screen turns on? I'm seeking better battery life with this. Would it even make that much difference if I could do this?
I'm running AOKP milestone 4 with the tuna faux kernal 3.0.24.
I've tried the option in the rom settings for this but it doesn't seem to be working. The only way I know to check this is to turn the screen off for a while and then back on and immediately look at the signal icon. I would expect it to say 3G as soon as the screen turns on then switch to 4G. But every time i turn the screen on it says 4G as soon as it turns on. So i'm assuming it's not working. I've also tried using Tasker for this with no avail.
Any ideas? Anybody have this working using other methods?
Thanks
I wanted LTE on only when connected to charger. Plus it would be nice to toggle LTE directly from the power strip (gps, blutooth, wifi widget)
Liquidsmooth has power options to set data when the screen is off. I have not tried it however because I rarely use LTE unless I'm by a charger.

There are some apps and ROMs that will do this.
Might end up being more trouble than its worth, however, as the 3G/4G handoff isn't very fast, and it will often drain more battery toggling in on and off over and over again rather than just leaving it on.
I would love an app that knocked me down into 2g when my screen was off...

Or does that only help battery life with GSM phones?

My Wifi Calling always turns off randomly it seems or when my phone screen is turned off. Then it won't start back up without me having to turn wifi off then back on and sometimes not even then and I have to restart my phone. Does anyone know a fix or what I can do so that it doesn't do this? my wifi connection is always almost full or entirely full.
Please help!
Thanks,

Have you checked your wifi sleep policy? If wifi shuts off when the screen does (which seems to be a default) wifi calling will also bail.

how do I change the sleep policy?

nm i figured it out but it is set to always on, but it still turns off sometimes. and when it does i have to restart my phone majority of the time to get wifi calling to come back on.
I was wondering if this was occurring for anyone especially when you turn on the screen and I can see that the wifi slider tab that indicates on/off turns on when I wake up the device. I also can't connect to any wi-fi networks since it just shuts off randomly within the minute or two that I connect to a network....
I am stock, rooted with Note2core kernel.
Me too
Yes, I just noticed this today, after having this phone for 2 days. I can start up a Wi-Fi connection to my home network, and after 3-4 minutes, it just drops off. Once it drops off wi-fi, it waits about 2 minutes and reconnects back to my home Wi-Fi.
Right now, I suspect that it might have something to do with power. Today is the first day that I have not charged the phone at all during the day. I am at 30% battery now. I started noticing the network shutoff this afternoon, I suspect when I was in the 50% battery range.
I put my phone on the charger to see if that might stop the wi-fi drop outs, but it hasn't yet.
I will tell you that I have done most of my fiddling using the Wi-Fi setup of the settings menu. As a check, I went in to the AT&T Smart Wi-Fi app and started my home Wi-Fi from there. My connection still dropped off after 4 minutes, but the AT&T app told me that my connection had gone into sleep mode.
I'm hoping that everything will return to normal in the morning after I get my battery back up in the 80%-90% range. I have been able to find any power setting that would cause the Wi-Fi to cycle like this.

Edited to add that I am stock, no roms or rooting.
From another thread... and it addressed the issue for me...
Delete all saved wifis.
Open the servicemode with
*#197328640#
Open the wifi menu via menu button and deactivate the energy saving mode.
Reconfigure your wifi.

ghicks, you are correct...
I tried this last night, and I have gone all night without a drop out, but I did sleep a couple of hours in there.
As a side note, I did have to reboot my phone after making this change.
Good luck
I had this issue until I froze the ATT smart wifi app with Titanium Backup. No problems since.

I also have not had this problem since I froze the ATT Smart Wifi app.
I figured it was some power saving option that I had not yet found, but I never saw it happen again after freezing all the bloat. Didn't think about it again until I saw this post.
Can someone tell me how to freeze the at&t smart wifi?
Doesn't seem that freezing the ATT app works (using Titanium Backup, selecting app, and freeze). And disabling WiFi energy saver in the engineering menu resets after a reboot...

A few of us in another thread have disabled our AT&T smart wifi app and have fixed our wifi disconnecting problem. We've done this by uninstalling any updates for the app and then disabling the app all through application manager in settings.

Thanks for the replies. It seems one can un install the smart wifi from the play store? I have not done it, but that option is available in play store.
This problem returned for me today. I have tried to use the code to reset the power save setting, but it isn't working for me.
I'm at 57% battery, and I just noticed this at around 65%.

Been about an hoursince my last update...
I turned off the energy saver mode in service mode. It dropped the wifi a couple of minutes after I did so. I verified that energy saver mode was still turned off in service mode.
I rebooted my phone, and I haven't dropped my Wi-Fi since. I went back in to service mode and verified that rebooting did restore energy saving mode to ON.
So, simply rebooting the phone is what helped me today. Since I am presently at 46% battery, it doesn't appear that battery levels alone are enough to kick this behavior in.
I don't know...
I have tried 3 different Nexus 7 cases on my new Nexus 7 and for some reason the magnetic "screen turn on" feature only works when Wifi is on. Otherwise the screen will not turn on at all, and I will need to press the power button to have the screen turn on.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? At first I thought it was the case but no matter what case I try this issue still persists.
Mine does the same thing. I have a suspicion it is by design but who knows. Gonna do some more searching of threads

Mine works ok with wifi off or on, but if you leave it lose the Access Point after you shut the cover, it won't magnetic wake. Also if you leave it over night, sometimes it won't wake the first thing in the morning. After the first wake it is fine. If I turn on Bluetooth, that behavior goes away.
You might want to try booting into safe mode and see if the same thing happens:

The longer mine sleeps the longer it takes to wake it up. I set to toggle WiFi off when sleep. I will test how it works, when it stays on, though this should be a bug.

don't wake up with magnetic
Same bug. I think
I will try to keep bluetooth on. (To save battery in sleep mode)
mine work on both states
yes, i found this bug from day1 (I bought the LTE just within 1 week and keep finding the scenario)
It didn't has this problem from previous Nexus 7.
If you turn on Wifi or BT, then your smart ON / OFF will work all the time.
I think may be these wireless communication setting causing the awake more sensitive. if all turn off, then N7 will deep sleeping and cannot awake by smart cover.
