Wi-fi problem - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
My phone cuts the wifi off itself after a while using it. It only happens at home. It never happens to ipad iphone imac or laptop. how can I fix this problem I have to turn wifi off and on all the time. its not a big problem to turn it on off but I cant get emails or whatsapp messages right away cos of the problem.

Try System settings, click on "wi-fi", hit menu button, then hit "advanced". See what it says under "keep wi-fi on during sleep". Maybe it auto-deconnects automatically because it is set up this way. Just make sure it says "always" :highfive:

No Connection when Screen off.

Hello,
i have readed a much and i dont find another one who have this anoying error:
Every time i go into sleep by pressing the power button all my data connection is lost ...... only wlan is working, for example when i take a call and the phone comes to my ear and the screen turns off because of the proximity sensor the connection lost and the call end -.-
How to solve this problem?
Im am waiting for a RUU with Hboot 0.80 from 02 Germany to send it back to o2, because my phone is bricked -.- the only things that are not working is this error and the usb connectivity........
I flashed the testimage of the Modaco Root process so i dont have superuser.apk but root acess .... EVERY app has root acess now... this is ****ing fail...!!
Hope u understand me and help me.
Did you install Juicedefender or something?
No only a few apps because i have no apps2sd.... i testet it without apps, too.
Same problem here.
When the display turns off , soon after WLAN is disabled. Happens with Sipdroid, last.fm musicplayer and FritzFon App. This is inconvenient since i cant make calls over VoIP because when the proximity sensor turns the screen off the wlan connection is lost and the call ends.
Have you checked the WiFi sleep policy?
When you are in the WiFI settings menu, press the Menu button again and then select "Advanced". You can then change the WiFi sleep policy to "Never".
Regards,
Dave
Yes it was at never and i switsched to both other aviable things and nothing changed ....-.-
No answer´s? =(
I've the same problem. If I'm downloading an app from market and then I switch off the display the download remains freezed.
The advanced wifi option is set to "never"
No my wifi connection dont lost all the others !?

[Q] Where do I find WIFI sleep policy settings?

On ICS, where can I find the settings for Wifi sleep policy etc? My Wifi keeps turning itself off after a time, and Im trying to get the the bottom of it, but cant find where those settings would be. They certainly arent where they have been for previous Android versions...
Go to Wifi Networks, click menu bottom on bottom right > advanced.
Even though mine is set to always stay on, it regularly turns itself off. Every morning, I've lost quite a lot of battery and I have no connection. Within a few seconds of the screen coming back on, it will reconnect.
Is this just me? (Android Revolution HD 2.1.2)
Its not working for me. No matter what setting I put wifi on it turns itself off when out of range for a certain period of time (about thirty minutes I think). Driving me insane.
Mine's only a couple of meter's from the access point, still turns itself off...
The same for me. Not 30 minutes but immediately.
For example the notofications appear only if I unlock the screen.
In wifi setting is on "keep always"
Example: i receive a whatsapp, email or facebook notification only when unlock the screen. Is normal?
With data connection all work fine.
I'm glad to know it's not just me. At least that means hopefully there is a fix coming at some point...

same here anyone an idea? sucks hard..
I figured my problem, traced it back to the Vodafone app, it was causing wifi to crash. Once i removed it it works perfectly. The problem stemmed from the vodadone app constantly trying ro find free wifu points to.automatically connect to.

[Q] Wifi won't connect until turning on screen

My WiFi doesn't seem to connect to saved hotspots until the screen is turned on. Whenever I get to work or back home and I don't turn on my phone; a couple hours later when I actually turn on the screen it connects. Does anyone else have this issue or know what might cause it? I'm not using any power saving apps or any apps that affect my network.
Try going into Settings-> Wifi -> Click menu button and select "Advanced" and make sure "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to always.

It's already set to that. Any other suggestions?

can anyone else verify this happens for them too? I have tried a complete format/wipe and loaded a stock 7105 rom and am still having the issue.
Maybe if you have power saver on, it does that? I know it's lot listed under what it's done, but you never know (;
Other than that, I can't think of anything other than keeping WiFi on during sleep.

it's off :< My roommate's S3 and my other roommate's N4 both auto connect without touching the phone. Once you turn the screen on it's already connected to wifi while mine is on edge until I power on the screen.
The only reason this is an issue is that I use grooveIP for calls through data, so if I have no reception here (i.e. no data) I won't be able to reliable receive calls unless I remember to power on my screen every time I come home.

[Q] Wifi staying on when screen turns off.

HI forumers
can you suggest any help?
When I have my device screen turned off, my wifi stays connected. So in the middle of the night, emails will sting "ping" out a sound.
I have selected in the settings to turn off Wifi when in sleep, and when i close my case cover, but it just doesnt.. Any ideas?
Thanks
Yeah that doesnt work for me either. I would try setting a wifi timer in wifi, adavanced settings and pick a time where you want wifi to be on during certain times of the day. Hope this helps!
Really?! not just me then? I was wondering if maybe a downloaded app is making this error happen.
Can anyone confirm that it does work for them?
Guys, Have you tried to untick "always autorized localisation search" in the advanced parameter of the wifi ?
Hope it could help.
Good idea, but I've just tried this and it didnt fix the problem..
Anyone else?
Or maybe someone knows an app that can do this?

No auto-connecting to wifi when BT connection lost

Hi there,
after update to MM i'm having following issue. My watch doesn't automatically connect to wifi network when i'm going out of the BT range. It will only connect when i wake up the screen and swipe down the top menu or slide left to the app drawer. It looks like you have to first wake up the watch to trigger the action.
Anyone having the same? It's quite annoying as it happens all the time in my home when i'm going between the floors without my phone with me. Of course, i have wifi adapters on both floors. so it's not a matter of wifi signal strength. As i said, when i "trigger" the reconnection, it will connect to wifi without problems.
Thanks in advance.
Having the same problem. Have had the watch 2 days. Anyone have a solution?
Sent from my SM-N910G using XDA-Developers mobile app
Nobody? I have also restored to defaults and configured once more but the issue still occurs. It starts to be very annoying.
a theory: it's in power save mode. Let it go below 15% battery, find the card about battery saver, turn it off. I think I've seen that power save mode stays on even after charging, and can only be turned off with the card.
Also check your settings under wifi/advanced
Thanks. I also tried to remove some saved wireless networks from the watch and it also helped a bit.
