With Oreo, the "Keep WiFi on during sleep on / off" option has disappeared from the settings. So how does the Wifi behave once the device is idle? Does he stand alone? Does it remain constantly in operation? Does it behave "intelligently" ?
Finally, do members know why Google made the decision to remove this "Keep WiFi on during sleep on / off" setting ?

Note the heading of the option: "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep"
Then the further options: "Always", "Only when plugged in", "Never"
So if you choose "Always", it will keep the wifi on during sleep. If you choose "Never", it will switch off wifi during sleep.
Google did not make any decisions as you suggest.

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 ?

Hey,
I've noticed no matter what settings I use for the WiFi sleep policy, it remains on and drains a bucket load of juice.
Any observations?
P.S. my bad, if there's a thread already. couldn't find it
Actually i am super glad. I like to still receive emails, new alerts, sport scores etc when phone is sleep. I would of returned the phone in a heart beat if I didnt have a data connection in sleep mode.
What setting you use.
In wi-fi,there is advance option where you can define sleep policy.

Hello,
You can adjust the WIfi option with *#0011# code on dialpad.
When entering ServiceMode, press the Menu button and select "WIFI".
Check if your WIFI Power Save Mode is turned On or Off.
Hope this help. :silly:
Hi all,
I just installed Android 4.2 on my Yakju GNex.
In the Wi-Fi advanced menu, I saw a new option:
Wi-Fi Optimization
Minimize battery usage when Wi-Fi is on
Do you know what does it do?
Does it affect the speed?
It is quite suspicious ... because if it is for BETTER, why make it as an option? Why not enable it by default? !!! *strange* isn't it?
I don't recall that option before ...
Thanks.
Bump
I just checked it and I have it enabled by default ...
I have mine enabled, not sure if it helps or not yet.
Anyone knows what does this option do? With Android 4.1.2 y had the option selected to Turn Off Wifi when screen goes off. But with 4.2 OTA without wipe, it has been changed to Always ON, with this optimization option checked.
Which option do you recommend? I used to have Turn off when screen off because I never turn off the wifi manually, but with this new option I don´t know which option is the most energy saver
This option reduces the speed of wifi when the screen is off.
I have low needs for my phone and would like to have power saver enabled automatically, however I cannot find a way to do this. Is there any setting, app, tweak, command etc. that will enable power saving mode to start automatically and be the default mode?
I have turned on Powersaver and rebooted my phone. Powersaver stayed active.
I have turned on Extreme Powersaver and rebooted my phone. Extreme Powersaver dit not stay active.
If you require Powersaver only, then it shouldn't turn off once you activate it. If you're referring to Extreme Powersaver, I wasn't able to find anything on that. I will add that I do have a custom ROM. I am not sure if the ROM is why Powersaver stays on or not.
For your use I would do this:
Turn on Powersaver
Turn off Sync
GPS Off (Go to Settings >> Location >> Mode: "Battery Saving")
Turn off scanning for WiFi even while it's off (Go to Settings >> WiFi >> [Click the menu button, 3 dots on top right] >> Advanced >> Uncheck "Scanning always available" There's some other settings you may want to look at as well, like "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" and whatnot.
This is all I can think of to help you out a bit more. If you don't use the internet for background syncing, you can turn off data and turn it on when you get ready to check something. In better service areas, you'll usually have data by time you're done toggling the service.
Thx. you are right about power saving staying enabled through a reboot. However, I would like to not to accidentally disable it. Is there a way to keep power saving enabled and have it not show up on the lockscreen? There should be a way to disable lockscreen notifications for power saver but I can't find one.
whatsapp gets into sleep mode even after "battery mode off", "wifi allways on", "backgroung data enabled", "enable on do not disterb" and so on.
