I've had the new Nexus 7 for the whole 3 days and I have had it not connect to wifi almost every time it goes to sleep. Once it is rebooted, it works fine, until it goes to sleep.
The wifi button stays on OFF. If I do turn it ON, still stays grayed out. If I go the home screen and back to WiFi option under settings, it is back to OFF.
Would appreciate any help here.
Cheers

Hi guys,
When the XDA goes to 'sleep' and turns the screen off to save battery life while it keeps the GPRS connnection going, we want to be able to turn it back on.
We have tried turning video back on, sending button keys for on/off or app buttons but nothing seems to turn the screen back on?
Has anyone managed to do this or know how?
Cheers
Steve
I have not been able to turn on wifi reliably for ages now - It all started when I upgraded to WM5. Now (even if I downgrade to wm2003se) I cannot turn it on. I press the wifi on button, the cursor comes up but nothing happens), leave it for a couple of hours, and then press again - it will sometimes turn on. It then stays on for about 30 mins, and turns off (I have the wifi set to never turn off).
I cannot diagnose the problem - can you?
Any help GREATLY appreciated - feel free to ask for more details.

I tried to search for this, but found nothing close to an answer, and I hope someone can point me to a way of fixing this issue. I am having an issue with wifi-tether (app via marketplace), where your connected and all is good, but it will disconnect then reconnect real quick. It happens quickly, on my laptop, I see the icon show I disconnected, and in about 10 seconds, reconnect. I also noticed that while using it, once the screen turns off on the phone, after maybe 5 minutes of surfing, I have no internet, turn the screen on my phone to see what's up, and notice the 3G icon not there, then it pops up all of a sudden, and my internet is all good.. Anyone else notice that? I have no idea what to do to fix this, so again, any advice would be great. My apology by the way, if I posted this in the wrong secton. Thank you!
I noticed the internet issue don't come into play when the phone is connected to a power source. All last night and most of the day I have it plugged to the ac charger, and when the phone goes to sleep/screen goes off, if I turn the screen back on, 3G icon is there.. As soon as I unplug the phone from the charger, let the screen go off, wait about 3 minutes from that point, click the power button to turn the screen back on, 3G icon is not there, maybe 3 seconds go and it pops up, internet fine.. I never noticed this before, do you lose your interent connection once the phone goes to sleep/screen turns off? If so, is there a method of stopping that? Since I didn't post this before, just in case, rooted with UR3/Stock... Thanks again to anyone that can help me out...
my phone was working fine until this morning it kept restarting over and over by itself. Normally it goes back to normal when I take out the battery and put it back in and restart the phone but when I would do that it would start to boot up as soon as I put the battery back in before I even pressed the power button. when I left it alone for a while it would stay on but the screen would turn itself on and if it was on to long the phone would turn itself off. when i managed to switch the screen to turn off after 10 sec the phone would stay on but still turn the screen off and on. Then I plugged it into my laptop and scaned my phone and found nothing. After that my phone was working fine and didn't shut itself off. I am able to use it like normal but the screen still continues to turn off and on by itself every couple of seconds. Can someone please tell me if there is a way to fix this?!!!

I guess the tablet isn't actually powering down, it's just going into sleep mode, or whatever it's called when the screen shuts off. Anyway, is there a way to keep this from happening when the tablet is plugged into the wall charger? It isn't a major deal but it is sort of annoying when I have something large downloading or have the tablet otherwise doing something on its own, but I'm not actively using it. I like to walk by occasionally and check in on things, but will often find that the tablet has shut off. Then I have to turn it back on, swipe the screen, or login if I have security on. Anyway, it would be much nicer if it would just stay on when plugged in. I've looked through the settings and can't seem to find anything related. If it's there, I'm missing it.
Thanks.
There are different between shut off and standby (sleep mode):
1- Shut off: Your tablet is shutdown, the only way to turn it on is power button.
2- Standby: the screen is off, you just need to press power or home button to turn the screen on in 2 seconds. In order to prevent the screen turn off so quickly, you only need to change the screen timeout to 10 or 30 minutes. If it turns off by itself, your tablet has a problem.
Mine can standby a whole week and it only loses a little charge when waking up.

There is no 30 minute screen timeout on my Galaxy Tab S 10.5. The most I can set it to is 10 minutes, and that's where it's at.
Thanks anyway.

we call that a screen time out... you can activate the stay awake while charging feature in developer option... how to activate developer option.... go to setting -> about device -> and press the Build Number 7 times. you will see something like developer option activate. then find the stay awake while charging option. that's all. :victory:

Super, that's exactly what I was hoping for...

I'm starting another thread.
Thanks!
