Wifi pauses when screen turns off

This is so annoying when downloading large files because the screen just stay on, if you turn it off the file won't continue to download.has anyone found a fix for this. I feel bad for the people who stream music over wifi, this is a big problem . I also tried dolphin browser but the browser isn't the issue

franco.kernel has a setting for this. And I have de ja vu.

Use the search feature and wifi high performance will fix it.....search for the app in market

Seriously? Like, seriously guys? Hehehe
That won't fix the problem that OP is having. Search for what was mentioned, there is something coded by default that causes WiFi to basically get choked down to almost nothing when the phone is sleeping. It stays on, but the speeds go to ****.

Thank you for contributing instead of just condescending.
My first response is always the obvious fix, especially when something simple like streaming music over wifi is cited... You'd be surprised how many problems are fixed like that.
However I still haven't experienced that problem, but the OP wasn't specific enough to start eliminating possibilities and jump to a bug as the reason

I am also having this issue, Verizon GN.
Reading that linked thread a little earlier, it does seem to indicate that the new setting "WIFI PERFORMANCE FULL/HIGH" is not properly modified by apps, be they winamp or tune in (the two I have tried).
As a result, I too was getting drop outs at the time my device went to sleep. Most often the radio would pick up again after 10 seconds and continue to operate normally, but sometimes there would just be CONSTANT buffering/drop outs - noticed this more with tune in radio (tried various stations).
I am trying out the 'wifi high performance' app also linked earlier. Knock on wood, it seems to helping so far. I do have a question about it, the app (1x1) square just pulls up a screen with a checkbox for the wireless network correct? There is also a widget (2x2) which doesnt seem to ever show up on your home/main screens even though you manually put it there however many times.
Seems like the widget is not working, when pinging im getting atrocious times and still getting the drop offs... thought it might have been fixed but now trying in tune app and having constant issues.
Is there any solution? This means I cant stream radio over wifi ever??? WTH

ive never experienced this. ive downloaded roms while its asleep. radio streaming no problem. im on the sprint gnex....

Guys, see this topic and thread about the widget not staying on the screen, and about the size issue.

This is the other thread. I have been chronicling my progress. The wifi max performance app is currently helping, but does seem to turn itself off on the reg.
Will keep the other thread updated.

[Q] Screen Suddenly Turn on (GNEX)

Hello,
I have an issue with my Galaxy Nexus, After i upgraded to 4.0.4 it happens that when in standby mode, the screen turn on for 3 seconds and then turn off by itself many times.
The phone is rooted, and not few applications on it, same when i had 4.0.2
Does anyone know what is causing this?
Thank you,

Is it saying its charging when it does it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Nope it doesn't say charging.

Hmm. Wondered if it was the charging port problem... I had it n done some Googling to find its quite common, fixed it myself. I'd check what's causing wake locks.... alternatively a factory reset should help..

Had this issue on my xoom and nexus. Uninstalled a few apps I had on both to try and narrow it down and haven't had the issue sense. My rouge app was a tablet wallpaper app.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

Some apps use the FULL_WAKELOCK to do certain tasks, and that turns the screen on. Check some apps that might do that, the permission for that is "Prevent device from sleeping"

Thanks guys

Screen automatically turns on!!

Hi!..I have an issue with the screen. Sometimes when I keep my phone aside my phone screen suddenly lightens up shows the pattern unlock page and automatically turns off. This happens 4-5 times in succession. First I thought its because of the antivirus app so I uninstalled it but still the problem persists. Does anyone know why this is happening? Any suggestion will be helpful.

I think we'll probably need a lot more information than that...
It could be anything. When I have mine plugged into my computer and the screensaver kicks on or when the laptop falls asleep, it does the same thing to mine because the USB power is cycling but it could be anything. Are you rooted? What ROM? What kernel? What is the battery state? Go into settings > apps and see what's running, start testing those out.

If your rooted, the problem with the screen waking is possibly superSU granting an app root access. Its usually a toast pop up saying that an interactive shell has been granted. At least it has been for me in the past. You can turn the notification off in the superSU settings.

my gf's HD2 used to do the same thing after she dropped it on its bottom right corner.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

My Nexus does that from time to time. Running AOKP JB preview builds. Latest franco kernel. Screen just turns on. No popups, no notification, just shows the lock screen until it times out again. Doesn't do it enough to worry me but it is a little odd.

No I have not rooted my nexus, using ICS 4.0.4. My phone is yakjuxw so haven't got the JB update yet..I have general apps like Facebook, whatsapp, power toggle,etc to name few.

Next time it does it see if your phone says charging even though not plugged in. Could be a bad charge port on your phone.

Had the same thing. The culprit turned out to be folder sync.

no there is no bolt shown in the battery indicator...could be an app issue??

Has anyone found a fix for their screen staying on?

I know its been reported with jelly bean that the screen is unable to turn off normally and you have to push the power button to turn it off. Currently the only fix I know of is a reboot. Anyone with any other tips??

Mine works fine, did you flash any mods or some kind of lock screen app?

Yes, I'm on Wicked Sensations v1.2 right now. But i've read that a few people have been having this issue with JB. I just started using XDA so I can't post on the OP yet so thats why I posted here. Was just hoping for some feedback and opinions. I have flashed a few mods on it, but none seem to be the problem...i dont think. haha

Settings > display > screen timeout..
Is it set to 10 minutes? Cause that would do it

I'm having the same problem
I am not rooted and running stock jelly bean (ota version that I installed early because I was too impatient for them to push it to my phone). I have noticed my screen randomly staying on, too. It's very annoying because sometimes I don't notice until my battery is dead. A reboot fixes it temporarily, but I'd love a permanent fix if anyone has any additional ideas! Thanks! I've tried all the obvious settings, but can't figure it out. Is there an app that can help me figure out what the culprit might be?
(And can I just say, an edit to a post ought not fall under the "wait five minute" rule for new posters. Just my two cents .)

Use an app called Stay Awake. Works great for me.

Dads phone.

Recently it has started going and deciding when to work. His back light turns on and off by itself. Its the R800x on CSpire. Could moving it to a custom rom fix this issue? Even today it started to randomly have troubles turning on. I have his back light turned up all the way but it stills dims on its own. He's starting to call his phone a POS lol. Could it be a software issue fixable via custom rom?
