I have a weird issue with WiFi.
It's almost like it's always off but turns on when there's a demand for it. Screws up my WiFi calling. Is there a setting that I am missing somewhere? When I am running an app that requires data, it will quickly show "connected to BLAH", but won't stay connected after I turn the screen off.

Hi.
This maybe in the wrong thread.
My question is this..
Every time I lock my DHD then unlock it, it has cut off my wifi & reception off so could be affecting incoming calls etc.
Im currently running cyanogen rom(latest).
Is there a option to correct this or a fix.
Thanks guys for any help. )

Before the mods get on here, I will answer as long as you recognise this...
THIS IS THE DEV SECTION...all Questions should hit the Q&A section
However, have you checked that wifi sleep when screen is off is unchecked.
Settings>>Wireless and Networks>>*menu button* Advanced>> and check to see what wifi sleep policy is set to.

First of all, you posted this in the wrong section.
Anyway, I'll reply here. Some Admin is going to move this thread to Desire HD General section of the sub-forum, I believe. Anyway...
The Wi-Fi connection may drop because it is set that way. Go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Wi-Fi Settings. Now press (touch) the menu key, then go to Advanced. From there, you should have an option called Wi-Fi Sleep Policy (it is the very first, I believe). Set that to never, or whatever it suits you.
It should be on When screen off by default, which means the Wi-Fi goes off every time the screen does so.

Oh thank you, wbbigdave. It took me 6 minutes to remember where exactly this setting was in Sense. Now my post is useless, and so is the waste of time I just did. haha
Gah knew i missed a step, im actually on ICS now so forgot my sense menus.
Thanks alot guys for the reply. I had a feeling was the wrong place too post. Thought might of been something to do with cyanogen rom. Not the case.
Thanks

Wi-Fi has nothing to do with 2G/3G, so it being off doesn't mean the CELULAR network is off...
Or... what did you mean?
So when i'm connected to wifi I get a lot of battery drain (note this is on my university's wifi) so when I installed BBS to figure out what was the problem I would get a lot of wlan_wakelocks and wlan_rx_wake. So I installed network log and took a log of all the traffic when my phone was sleeping and got a huge amount of packets from netbios. I have looked at what that is and I know you can disable it from windows but I obviously can't tell the whole university to turn it off. Is there a way to block my phone from receiving all the packets and causing my phone to not go into deep sleep?

You can go to wifi and tell it to never sleep when connected. But that's not going to solve the issue with your highly protected and controlled wifi at your school. Best option is to shut wifi off or all data if you're not going to use the Web. If battery saving is what your looking for.

Sorry for posting in the wrong section. Okay so there would be no way to like disable local network communications but still connect to the internet? I get lots of emails that need quick responses.
If not I guess I'll suck it up

Well there is at least a temporary fix until the phone is rebooted...Pull down the notification bar and long press on the Activation notification, then just click on clear data. This will clear it out till the phone is rebooted. Hope that helps.
I rooted the phone the first day I bought it. But no matter which rom I run with, wifi will not sleep when the phone sleeps. I have, keep wifi on during sleep "only when plugged in" selected. Does this sound like a defect or is this behavior normal for the s3?
Try rebooting
Go into Menu - Settings - Mobile networks - Connections optimizer. Make sure it's off. BTW questions go in Q/A .

That's the Sprint Connection Optimizer turning your wifi on all the time. Just disable it in settings (not sure exactly where in settings, but it's definitely there, I'd assume in "more" under wireless settings).

Thanks for the clarification, Rocker of Dragons. I've been running AOSP Roms for so long I've forgotten where all of the settings are in stock TW.
And just a quick question: I noticed in your sig that you used Mskip's Toolkit when rooting. Did you have the same issues with Wifi being borked when you rooted it using the toolkit? I've stopped recommending it because of the issues people have has with it. I currently recommend Skunk Ape's guide, since it's easy to follow and walks you through each step with pictures and everything.
You can remove it via Titanium Backup, if you think its as useless as I do

If your on a TW rom I recommend freezing it and not removing. Removing it has caused issues because it is linked to other tw based apps within the system.
On my two cents I love it I pick up wifi hot spots everywhere and the phone just connects automatically once you have already set it up. I go to Target I'm connected, I go to grocery store I'm connected, I go to mall I'm connected, I go to bookstore I'm connected, I go to Home Depot I'm connected, I go to Bahamas Breeze I'm connected... Lol see the advantages to using it.
