you need to use a different app, something like wifi on/off (google it) and you'll find others
I've looked into this alot, since my old n900 had an app that would monitor wifi if screen is off, and if no set amount of traffic happened in some time (say 10 kbs/min) it will switch wifi off
the best I found on android were apps that would either turn wifi on/off with the screen, or simply after a set time no matter what
/me misses some n900 features, even with the outdated hardware

can somebody tell me how to increase timeout value - the settings menu goes up only to 5 mins.
Use your favorite registry editor and set HKLM\Comm\tiacxwln1\Parms\HTCAutoOffTimeout to your desired timeout value (in milliseconds).
i've set that key to 900000 (15 mins), rebooted, but wifi still times out after a couple of minutes ...
Try the same trick with HKLM\Comm\tiacxwln1\Parms\HTCPowerSaveTimeout. The first one is the timeout you set in the WLAN Settings tab; i.e. how long the WiFi should be on if it can't connect. This one should specify how long a connection can be inactive but still connected.
WiFi Always Active, Does not timeout
Is there a way to keep the wifi always on, even when you tap the power button to shut the screen off and lock the device? My phone doesn't have signal in the school I work in, so what I am trying to do is use a program like VeriChat for teachers and administrators to get ahold of me. We have wireless (802.11G) throughout the whole school. Battery life is not a concern to me becase I shut the wifi off when im not using it and I plan to have a spare battery to swap with the one I use while at work.
Any suggestions would be helpfull. Will the above reg hack work?
my data connection won't automatically disconnect, even if i change the setting in tweak HD, or change it directly in teh registry (the GPRS_bye thing).
i thought this was draining my battery (i was lucky to get 15 hours), as it was pretty much connected all the time ( i have it set to chekc email every 2 hours on 5 different accounts)
it was pretty annoying that i was charging the phone overnight, and it wasn't even lasting until the next evening.
but by mistake i have discovered something (could even be in the user manual, i dont know?) and i have found it very useful so i though i would let you know!
if you are just on the home tab, just press the hang up key, and it will disconnect the data! so now whenever i check the time/read a text message/pretty mcuh every time i look at my phone, i press the hang up button when i've finished.
now my battery easily lasts 2 days (normally dies half way through the third day if i'm stupid enough to leave it long enough) - so i am much happier with the phone as a whole.
i also wondered if its possible to turn off data completely overnight?
e.g. is there a task scheduler, so i can schedule the nodata program to run say from 00:00 to 07:00?
Thanks
The above 'finding' is the function of 'End Key'. You can find and configure in 'Settings'.
As for disabling overnight your data connection you could try 'Outlook email Scheduler'
"h..p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438970&highlight=gmail" and have it manually synching an night time.
brillinat works great! i used this key to lock HD but stop all connections is much better choice.
You can leave the "hold button" feature as lock phone and it will still work to turn off the connections of your mobile internet.
For mine, 'single press' shuts down the HSDPA connection, 'hold' locks the phone.
How did you set it so you have only to press the button instead of holding it down to terminate the connection?
Is there any way to switch off the data connection altogether, orange wanna charge me a small fortune to connect. i've already got them to disconnect it but the phone still makes an attempt to connect for weather email etc. is there any way to force it to use the wireless connection only??
You don't need to change anything....well, I didn't. Pressing just once will turn my orange internet (HSPDA) off.

The HD Tweak program (Availabe on these forums) has an option to set up which connections you want to disable. You can perminantly turn off Orange interent from there.
superb!!!
will look later.

Hi,
I just discovered something strange: I use FolderSync to sync Music to my GN. I configured it to only sync when WLAN is available. When I sync and switch the screen of, then the Sync stops immediately and resumes when I switch the Screen back on. Is WLAN switched off when the screen is switched off? Did I miss some settings to configure that?
Thanks
May be related with some auto task killer or process killer like juice defender
Yes you missed some wifi settings. You can set there whether you want to turn off wifi with the screen, keep it always on or keep it always on while charging.
You can find it in:
Settings - wifi - ... - advanced
Thanks martan1981, but this is "always on" on my GN. So thats not the reason
Do you have any battery-saving apps like JuiceDefender or GreenPower installed? That could cause your data/wifi to turn off with the screen.
Or there could perhaps be a power-saving function built in to your ROM? I know AOKP has a Power Saver mode that could be enabled to turn data off with the screen.
wifi sleep policy should be set to never. But some people have a bug where this setting does not stick for some reason. You prob have this bug too.
I also have this problem how to fix it ?
No root stock 4.0.2
Hello all. I just decided to retire my Vibrant yesterday and got an S3. I haven't changed much on it. I'll run it stock for quite a while. I am using a custom launcher, etc.
My battery life is horrible though! It's not even noon and I'm already down to 35%. I've made sure S Voice is not set to wake up when I talk to it. My weather was set to update every 15 minutes by default, but I've changed it to every hour. I charged it in the van on the way to take kiddos to school, and it was at 80ish percent. So that's quite a drop in not a long time. Granted, it's new, so I'm playing with it.
What tips can you give me to get the best battery life I can out of it? Besides custom ROMs. I'm not even rooted. Yet.
Well how long has your screen been on? That will be the determining factor in your battery life. Like you said, it is new and you are playing with it so I am willing to bet that probably has something to do with it.
Otherwise, turn data off when you aren't using it and keep the screen brightness as low as possible.
Here's what I do with a freshly flashed rom. I pretty much drill down through every setting turning off what I dont need.
WiFi - turn off network notification.
More Settings - Everything off
Sound - turn off everything below "System"
Display - Auto brightness off. Timeout 1min. Smart Stay off. Touch key always on or off. Auto Adj Screen Tone off. Battery% on.
Power Saving - Off.
Accounts and Sync - Off
Location Svcs - Off
Language and Input - Voice Cmd off. Voice Recognizer (all off for google and Samsung). Voice Search all off. TTS driving mode off.
Backup and Reset - can't remember what its listed under but below carrier data press to open and uncheck collect data (this is carrier iq, so I removed it asap once rooted)
Accessory - all off
Developer Options - set animation scales to 0.5x.
Hope that helps. I keep a lot off and only turn stuff on when I need it. There's some pretty cool features but for me it doesn't hurt my experiance with the phone to not use a lot of them.

Ah. My screen was set to stay on for 10 minutes. That, I would imagine, was a large part of my problem. At least according to my battery stats. Why do they set that as default??
My screen brightness is now set to low. What is this with the data? Doesn't that mean I would not receive email, google talk messages, etc?

I just did almost all of these. With the WiFi detection off, will I need to manually find my home network each time I get back home?
Also, if I turn Voice Command off, I won't be able to push the button and say "Listen to blah blah blah" or "Navigate to ....." correct?

I am on CM10 so I am not sure where it is for stock Touchwiz, but I would assume you could go to settings > display > screen timeout and change it there.
Yes, turning off data would mean no push email or Google Talk messages. You could download an app that turns off your data when you turn the screen off, then on when you turn the screen on and your emails and messages would come through then.

I should have also mentioned I turn off wifi and data when I don't need it to, which is rare but it happens at times!
By turning off the wifi notification, the only change is it won't give you a notification in status bar that there's an open network nearby that you could connect to. Itll still auto connect to any network you've already got configured.
For voice cmd, it won't let svoice open apps for you. But for example in navigation you can still hit the mic button on keyboard and speak your destination.

Can you upload a Screenshot of your battery screen... It will make it a lot easier to look at

On the Wifi issue. What I do with regards to wifi, is if I know that I am not going to be near an open connection, I turn it off. When I am at work, there is no wifi nearby that I can connect to. So I use Mobile Data instead. Why you ask? It is because when you have your wifi on, in the back ground it is always scanning for a signal. Turn that off and no scan, then no drain for something that you are not using at moment.
I know that this is a bit deeper than you wanted to go, but in the Build.Prop you can put a setting [wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=] and you can set that out. The time in there is the time duration on scanning intervals based on seconds. So the setting wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180 means that it scans for wifi and doesn't find one, then counts off 180seconds and scans again.<--This is what I have mine set too, btw.
Disable the wifi when your not using it.
Hello all,
I am wondering if anybody has any ideas on how i can set my bluetooth and wireless to automatically turn off if they haven't connected to anything in 15 or 30 minutes.
The reason i want to do this is after i leave my home i don't need my wifi until i get back home and after i leave my car i don't need my bluetooth until i get back in it at the end of the day, sometimes i forget these things are still on and they slowly eat at the battery...
I've got the Samsung S3 (AT&T) (i747m Canadian version) although its been rooted and installed CM 10.1 nightly build March 06 there must be some way to do this.
thanks for any ideas!
Alex
Not sure about Bluetooth but you can adjust WiFi settings in the WiFi menu within the advance settings

For the wifi, try out this app... it will just blip the wifi every time you unlock the screen, and if a network is available it will leave it on, if not it will turn it off. When the screen is off, it will turn off wifi, depending on your traffic settings. Blipping the wifi on uses very little power, so it is very efficient to do it this way. LOVE this app.

As for the bluetooth, only way I know of is using Tasker... there is a profile available in the tasker wiki that will turn off unused bluetooth after a few minutes.
Also, wrong section...

tectiles you can do this too (either enable/disable or run that app)
Using NFC on the GS3 I came across this YouTube video on using NFC tags with the GS3. With with an app like NFC Task Launcher you can configure your phone to turn on/off wifi, bluetooth, or just about any task or series of tasks you'd like.
