Welcome to the club, mate! For me, wifi has almost never worked as it should.
Mostly, it works just fine until the phone goes to sleep for a few minutes. Then
the speed is reduced to around 1-2 Mbit/s, & the only way to restore the speed
is to turn wifi off & then turn it on again. After doing that, everything's Hunky Dory
until the phone goes to sleep again. Then the story repeats itself....
I've almost given up on Samsung by now, since they seem totally unable (unwilling?)
to fix this widely experienced issue. Also, their update scheme for this "flag ship" (?)
suck big time, at least for us wanting the "NEE" version of KK4.4.2....
And btw, this phone also seems unable to record both sides of a conversation
when using a BT headset. That's NOT ok in 2014, Sammy! You've got my
money once, but you've made sure that I won't do the same mistake twice.

Has anybody found a solution to this, I can't download anything in sleep mode, tried all wifi settings, is it just 4.4.2?

Hi , is not the best solution but you can try Juice defender to automatically turn wifi on when phone wakes.
I'm on dr Ketan V14 rom and wifi works fine.
I hope that can help you.

I realize that this is an old thread.... amazing how they just peter out with no real solution.
N7100, stock ROM, Rooted, and have Xposed Deep deep wifi sleep activated.
This happens about 90% of the time coming out of sleep, even the wifi quick setting is un-illuminated so have to turn it back on. When phone is shut down and then restarted, it happens 100% of the time, even after a full re-install of the ROM, 4.4.2.
I've stopped worrying about it.

[Q] wifi turns off and on when screen is off

In the wifi settings>advanced, I have the wifi set to never sleep, however when I am playing music over the wifi connection, the music starts and stops about every 2 seconds when the screen goes off. Is there a way to make the wifi stay on when the screen goes dark?

I too would like a answer, good question!

I am NO Android Dev but I did run into that same problem that you seem to have with running Cyanogenmod. I did searching around for a week or so and really didn't find anything in particular about the problem.
I do recommend you try, re-flashing the Rom after you do a Nandroid Backup. If you don't want to go that far you can try to set the Wifi to a static I.P. by going to Wifi advanced settings. That was my problem, but there could also be other variables that could be causing your problem.
Let me know if I helped, and respectfully hit that Thanks button if I did anything for you. Good Luck!

Was it the reflashing or the setting the wifi to a static IP that solved your problem?
The only problem with setting my wifi to static would be that it would only work while I was at home. If I am elsewhere where I can't control the router, that probably won't work.
Are any of you using Cyanogenmod as well, or does this issue exist on the stock rom as well?

Jellybean wifi issue

Hello,
After updating from CM9 to CM10 I started facing wifi issue. My phone works normally for 1-3 days, and then wifi stops working. If I go to wifi settings, it says "Searching for Wi-Fi Networks". Also, wifi cannot be turned off. After reboot wifi operates normally for some time until this glitch happens again.
I thought it was CM-related issue, but some people say they have faced this issue even with stock JB.
Do you have this issue? How can it be fixed?
Toggle airplane mode.

No idea on how to fix it, i have it too.
It's not happening too frequently to bother me.
Is there ; Support connect to wireless network by QSS (Quick Security Setup)??
for this build patch?
I have this exact same problem on CM10. I did a full wipe and the problem remains
I will keep searching for a solution, but I really hope someone can tell us more information as to what the cause might be.

WiFi problems

Hello people,
I have a new Huawei Ascend P6 and have some problems with WiFi. WiFi works fine but if the phone is standby for a few hours or when i come back home, WiFi not seems to connect. WiFi is on, but will only connect when i turn WiFi off and on.
I have tried this app: Advanced Wifi Lock (Free) but not seems to work.
Is there someone can help me out with this one?

Same thing here- wifi disconnects after while, when phone is standby...No matter of power profile or wifi settings- sooner or later it turns wifi off. Can't use therefore "Profile Flow" wifi based features ( turn BT off, when at home wifi). I keeps turning BT on/off in some period of time, I can see it in Profile Flow history...As soon as I take the phone and unlock the screen, the BT is on again, then wifi connects and BT goes off...
It happens to my phone too.. I guess you can't fix it unless there is some app that can fix this but my guess is that its saving battery life on our android phones..

The power manager should be on "normal" mode. "Smart" mode would instead turn off iinternet on screen off. Also in wifi settings, make sure it set proper.

same wifi problem here using the ascend mate

stupid wifi problem
Isn't this an Android problem, instead of Huawei's?
WiFi disconnection during deep sleep is an Android problem, since God knows when.
That's why there are apps (such as REGPON wifi KeepAlive) out there to ping websites to "warm" the connection, at the expense of battery.
I programmed a macro using E-Robot to do this. My connection never drops. Mine is B111.

How do you install firmware B132 ? I have tried all possible ways to keep wifi always on but it does not work. It will be my first and last huawei. They put money in advertisement. the phone even does not work with screen off.

[Q] KK ND3 - WiFi issue

Can someone please help. Background: I flashed the new French ND3 Rom and I'm using the MJ5 bootloader.
Everything is working fine, except for one issue that I cannot resolve:
When the phone wakes from a long sleep (More than an hour), the WiFi does not switch on automatically. If I switch WiFi on via the notification panel toggle or via the settings menu, then WiFi seems to freeze between on and off. The WiFi toggle is dimmed (neither fully on, nor fully off).
The only way to activate WiFi at that point is to do one of the following:
1 Airplane mode - toggle on then off.
2 WiFi hot-spot - toggle on then off.
3 Reboot.
I have already wiped dalvik and cache. I have re-installed the Rom. I have disabled some key apps, including Xposed framework. I have "forgotten" and recreated the WiFi network SSIDs. None of these made any difference. I tried a Google search, with no luck on this specific issue.
UPDATE: I have also reverted to the modern that I used with 4.3, but that did not solve the problem either.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Dennis.
Same here, flashed 4.4.2 through odin 3.09 over official 4.3 (MK9 bootloader). Rom is running just fine except for this wifi problem and also samsung wallet comes preinstalled but when entering the app and try to install it nothing happens.
Nobody else encountered this problem ????

No such problem..... i had issues using philz... later i switched to twrp cleaned everythin rom ,dalvik, cache... and then i patched aio fixes... and everythin seemed to wrk fine
As i mentioned i am using stock 4.4.2 with stock recovery, and as dennis mentioned in the 1st post he did a wipe with no succes, so not really sure that wiping the system will really work but 10x anyway

Well, I managed to find a workaround: set WiFi to "always" in the "keep WiFi on during sleep" setting in the WiFi advanced menu.
I did this about 15 hours ago and have not had a freeze since. ?
I know that it pushes up battery consumption marginally, but it is good enough for now - much better than the annoying freeze?

Maybe the option "keep wifi during sleep" is set to never (increases data usage)

wifi working again
I woke up this morning to find that my wifi is working again (till now) even though the keep wi-fi during sleep was set to never the phone managed to connect to my home wireless network (the sleep interval was at least 7 hours). This was possible after 2 factory data resets. The only problem i am facing now is with Samsung wallet which refuses to install on my phone.

(Nougat)(OOS 4.0.2) WiFi Hotspot turning OFF automatically

Hello All,
Could anyone please confirm if they are experiencing the same behavior after Nougat 4.0.2 update?
Whenever i turn Hotspot ON and turn the screen OFF, the hotspot turns OFF automatically after few minutes. Tested with both Stock and Boeffla kernel.
I think it turns off automatically when no users are connected to it. I have seen that setting somewhere, can't remember it.
Hope it helps. Thanks
My Gf's device was connected when this happened. I'm not sure why. I will research if there is any setting for it.
Mine does too, I have a device in my car that I use the Hotspot for and I know its connected and on my phone it turns it off after a few min, so yes same issues, haven't found a fix for it except Turing it back on and seems to work
Maybe if someone can read the whole build prop may find something related to it.
I saw a lot of network and camera and all stuff in build prop for random things.
Happens on 3t as well.

Yes exactly 5min. But not sure if you need to actually use the wifi hotspot or just being connected to trigger the turn off. Ill test myself later

Nah i'm a stock ROM believer. I always just flash custom kernel but i keep the ROM as it is. Especially on OP3, never felt the need to switch to a custom ROM.

FreedomOS is based off of stock rom, just some tweaks to make it better

And that is exactly why i don't use it. I don't need those tweaks at the risk of any compatibility issue or even a minor stability risk. Stock ROM is already rocking so why to even bother a new rom. But the stock kernel has no features, so i flash custom kernel sometimes but i usually stay fully stock.
Try disabling aggressive dose option from settings>battery. My hotspot is now not turning off.
no it has it automatically turns off b/c of Connected Device Manager, there is no way around it that i could find, i use tasker and to re-enable after 5 min, if u use a security key there may be an issue with the device not showing its connected so it disables after 5 minutes
After disabling aggressive dose not a single issue with hotspot turn off for me.
have the oneplus 3t and upgraded to 7.0
oneplus support is suggesting downgrading to Marshmallow but your phone will be reset to scratch.....noticed that the connected device list has to show the phone, laptop, etc. If not, the hotspot will turn off automatically. To bypass it, you have to go into the Set up wifi hotspot option and change name password and AP Bands sometimes for the device to populate in the list of connected devices. Or you can have it open without a WPA key.
This is the only options that worked for me after trying all the others from hard reset, aggressive mode, sleep mode, etc. I really don't want to hard reset and downgrade to Marshmallow.
It doesn't remember my same devices and i always have to change the settings so i leave the WPA off sometimes. You can always disconnect a device if you noticed somebody else trying to use the hotspot.

If I don't want to turn it off, maybe I only put hotspot app into whitelist.
But the quesition is, which application I should exclude? Haven't found anything like yet.
