I hated this feature of WP7, the WiFi going to sleep when the device went to sleep. I wanted WiFi to be always on. Since yesterday I've been noticing that my WiFi is not disconnecting when phone screen turns off. I don't have anything on download or anything like that. The WiFi just remains connected. I'm not sure whats causing this but I don't want this to go away.
Running Omnia 7 on Mango.
Hope that this is happens to my Mozart too...
does not happen in in my HTC HD7

I'm pretty sure it's a bug. It's happened on my Focus before too and after I rebooted the phone it stopped. So if you don't ever plan on turning off your phone, then you're getting a cool feature lol

Sorry, it still disconnects on my Mango-ed HTC Mozart.
When your mobile is connected to wifi and you are charging your phone wifi is always on but when you unplug it and have wifi activated your wifi connection brakes at standby
Anyone else with this magic fix? What's causing it?
I dare you to restart your phone..

this also this happened to my Nokia lumia 900, I am baffled why this is, the WiFi is constant for me too. Maybe Microsoft secretly updated our phones?

Have you restarted the phones? Are they always keeping WIFI ON during sleep? Do you have a background app doing that?
Here's a trick: http://mobilitydigest.com/wp-tips-tricks-keep-wifi-running-all-the-time/
Thank Jim for finding it and myself for sharing it!
Well, it's just an active background agent which blocks wifi from entering standby. It happens when you run applications which can run under lock screen. After a reboot this "feature" should be gone.
Well my HD7 was doing this when I first got it but then went away, but nowbits back nd its so annoying any help plz
It remains connected under standby when it's connected to a power source.
I live in Canada.
I only want an Xperia Play as a wi-fi only device, to play emulators, listen to music, take pictures, just something I can have with me on trips and use as a mini-android tablet. I do not have a cell phone, I don't plan on using it as a cell phone, I don't really like cell phones. I never plan on putting a sim card in this thing ever or making a single phone call on it.
I ordered a Verizon Xperia Play from eBay because it was super cheap compared to everyone else.
My question is this:
Will I have to do anything to this device to use it as I have stated above? Or will I just be able to use it right away.
Thanks very much for the help.
If thats the way you want it, you'll have to disable mobile data, and background data. This will keep it from trying to connect to anything.
The cell radio will stay on for the emergency call feature. But this can also be completely disabled if you turn on Airplane mode. Which disables everything. you can turn this off when you want to connect to Wifi.
Thanks very much, that was very helpful and concise. Cheers!
Actually, you can turn airplane mode on, and then turn WiFi on. You don't need to go out of Airplane to do that....
This is how I use my Xperia Play. I don't have a sim card in it. I leave it in "Airplane mode," and then turn on WiFi when I need it. I leave "Background data" enabled so I can access the Android Market when WiFi is up. Also FPse needs to check in every now and then, or else it goes into limited mode. I think Background data needs to be enabled for this to happen. Airplane mode keeps battery usage low so I can keep playing.

Really? Didn't know that, thought airplane mode stopped thing from being enabled.
Yes you can turn on WiFi while in Airplane mode. It keeps the cell radio, GPS, etc off.

Ok then guess I'll recap for the OP:
Turn on Airplane mode
Thats is all. Aparently you can keep background data enabled, it just won't do anything until you turn on Wifi, which works when airplane mode is turned on.
Problem solved.
Thanks, at least I know I don't have to do major modifications. I had visions of a nag screen preventing me from using the device if there was no sim card in it.
Well technically theres no nag screen, but you will have an error in the status bar saying that there no sim card.
Yeah, that's not a big deal.
r800x doesn't require a sim card period lmao so you'll never get that message
Well that's good to know too.
Fine he'll get an error saying no network connection....picky picky.....

Actually I have a CDMA R800x that I use this way and I don't get that error. Then again I am rooted running Turbo Kernel with P.A.C. Man rom.
Maybe that's why?
Before I unlocked my bootloader though, I don't remember ever getting an error message. I do remember everytime I rebooted there was a nag screen that said "your phone is not activated would you like to activate it?" but the choices were activat or skip.
Guys, need some help here.
I have WiFi at home, and when I'm home, I'm ALWAYS on WiFi. My mobile data is turned OFF.
Now, each time the phone is locked and when I unlock, the mobile data ALSO AUTOMATICALLY turns ON!
I then have to turn it off, and then it remains OFF. But then again, the same thing happens when the device is unlocked.
I tried talking to HTC over the phone, and they told me to do a restart, which I did, but no luck. I really don't want to do a factory default setting. I want to keep that as my last option.
Any idea what seems to be the issue here? It seems to me that it has something to do with the screen ON and OFF time.
PLEASE HELP!

Go To Settings => More => Usage. Turn OFF the Mobile Network (first) option.
Think this should do.
Cheers
I don't know what You mean by data on, do you have working mobile data and wi-fi simultaneously?
You may want to check this: Settings->Wi-Fi->Advanced-> Keep Wi-Fi active when sleep and set it to active.
@veerm, p3v4x, thanks. I figured out the problem. I had installed this app called, Battery Defender, and that was what was causing this to happen. Uninstalled it, and am happy again
More often than not, when I start up my G pad, the Wifi does not turn on regardless of the way it was set before. Toggling the button on quick settings, or tying to turn it on manually in settings, does nothing; it says "turning on wifi", but it hangs. Rebooting usually fixes it, but sometimes requires more than one try.
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm hoping that it's a software glitch that will get fixed in the next ota update or when I flash my next rom, whichever comes first. If it's a hardware problem, however, I'd better return it before my rma period expires. Any ideas?
Thanks!
In the advanced setting under WiFi do you have the tablet set to keep WiFi on during sleep? I never turn mine off and do not have a problem. Using a v500 not a v510.

Yes, I've experienced it, if by starting up the G Pad you mean from it bring completely shut down, rather than sleeping. Also happens when doing a restart sometimes. As you say, a further restart sorts it out. I very rarely shut the tablet down or restart it though, usually I just let it sleep, so it hasn't really bothered me, except for the first time when I thought for a horrible moment the wireless hardware had died!
Wht if you don't want to use wifi when you boot the tablet? Then you have the wifi radio wasting battery from the start. Can't you install an app tht turns on the wifi at boot?
It took 6 reboots to get wifi working this mornino! Previously it had only taken 1-2 tries. It also had seemed on previous occasions that rebooting while unplugged would be more likely to successfully turn it on, but no luck; it failed multiple times both plugged and unplugged.
Needless to say, I will never turn the damn thing off if I can help it, but I'm not exactly happy about it.
LBJM, I rarely want to start up without having wifi enabled, but I suppose you could use apps like Tasker or Llama to turn it on or off under certain conditions.

The issue isn't simply that Wi-Fi is off when the tablet first boots up, it's that it refuses to switch Wi-Fi on until it's restarted a second time, so don't think this would help.

6 is getting a bit crazy! Thankfully a single restart worked for me on the couple of occasions it happened. I've actually ended up restarting a few times over the past week for other reasons, but haven't seen this issue occur again. I'm going to shut it down completely shortly, so will see what happens then.
I would take that in for a warranty replacement. That sounds like a dodgy network chip on the main board. I just restarted today and had no problem like what you mention.

I turn it off every night and in the almost couple of months that I have had my G Pad I have never had this problem.
Yeah I would RMA your Gpad. You shouldn't have to jump through hoops to turn on wifi.
Oddly, the issue has pretty much stopped - - just as well, since I was past my RMA date! I'm going to chalk this one up to some odd app interference, since it resolved with any rom updates or re-flashing.
Thanks again to everyone for their help!
Everytime i turn on the wi-fi the phone get stucked for like 4 seconds and then the settings app gets crushed.... After its on everything is ok but its annoying to suffer this everytime i just want to turn on the wi-fi.
Tried to clear cache of the settings app but it wont help, anyway to reset that specific wifi settings? Im trying to avoid factory reset so please help me to find a solution other than that.
Btw its lolipop G3 D855.
