[Q] Wifi sleep policy bug, wifi not turning off with screen off

Got the galaxy s2 running XWKE7
Under wifi settings>advanced>Wifi sleep policy. selecting turn off wifi when screen is off setting does not seem to take effect.
Tested by pinging it and continues to ping even 5-10 mins after screen is turned off.
anybody else having the same issue ?
Have the same issue, want my wifi to turn off when the screen turns off but wifi stays connected.
Only thing I can think of is that i restored my access point with titanium.
Can this cause any problem and if it can, can I delete the restored settings?
My sleep policy works fine when turning screen off. When i turn on the screen, the wi-fi icon appears after a few seconds. Also the battery usage shows that wi-fi is off when screen is off and phone inactive. Might be related to one of your apps that conflicts with the wi-fi policy. Happened to me when using an app that had options to turn on/off wi-fi scanning.

Weird, will have to check this up.
But as far as I know I don't have any other app that manages wifi.
As you can see in my screenshot, wifi is on at all time even when sleep policy is set to sleep when screen off.
Currently I'm not connected to any wifi since I don´t have any in range at work but it looks exactly the same when I´m connected to my home network.

Hi, I have the opposite problem, I don't want my WF turns off when is sleeping. I remember that a program ask me to turn WiFi in energy save mode but I cannot remember which app and I have no clue how to go back...
Any help?
Tks a lot!

Have you tried setting the sleep policy to 'never'?
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I did a factory reset (XXKI4) and it was still the same. Screen off, policy set to turn off when screen is off but I can still ping the phone after a few minutes.....?!?
EDIT: I remembered ;-) Had the same thing on my original Galaxy over a year ago.
Needed to edit a database:

Cant save sleep settings.....
I have a slightly stranger problem that's just started. I'm aware of the situation where wifi takes 15 mins to turn off after screen turns off was never bothered with that aspect.
However, since today I found wifi was staying on continuously - checked in settings & wifi sleep policy had reverted to 'never' - I always had it set to 'sleep when screen turns off'.
The problem now is that I change it to sleep when screen turns off' and 'save' this setting but it's not saving - when wifi goes off & then back on again or if I reboot phone, it reverts to 'never'.
Any ideas folks?
Back-up data and factory reset .
jje
Would like to know this too.
Wouldn't like to back up and reset everytime this happens.
Also couldn't find the files in /dbdata folder as indicated by the Galaxy S thread pointed to.
Is there any other solution?
someone says using static IP will solved this issue but It didn't...
Any news on that?

Me too! Any word on that?
Had the same problem, where the battery no longer lasted the whole day.
When I checked under "Settings/ Battery" and clicked on the graph I could see that whilst the phone was sleeping, WiFi was not.
I have done a few "factory resets." All seemed okay to start off with and then after a while I would notice the same problem.
This last time I found that "Google Now" is the culprit.
Just click on the blue Google Icon, under Applications, then bring up the menu, click on "Privacy and Accounts" then "Google Location Settings", then "Location Access" and make sure "Use wireless networks" is not checked. (also available from "Settings/ Location services")
That fixed it for me!!

as far as I know its better to be on wifi instead of data, eat less battery... but anyway I guess its have its own wakelocks...

Keep WiFi on during sleep (Never)

Does anyone else have an issue with the WiFi sleep policy? My WiFi never turns off when my tablet is in sleep mode. I set it to 'never', turn off the screen and no matter how long I wait, it is still connected to WiFi while the screen is off (which destroys the battery now). I have been turning it off manually and putting it into low performance mode every time I turn off the screen, but would like this to be automatic. Any suggestions?
Wont turn off for me also... its killing my battery. I hope a fix is coming soon. .13 has made my perfect tablet a POS.
Wifi is on all the time with nothing turned off and I lost 13% battery over 7 hours. But Im still on .11. I have 5 emails, facebook and weather on push/update amongs other things. Iwould check if something is constantly running in the background and keeping wifi on.
Use Auto Airplane Mode (free on the market). Will disable wifi when asleep. Works well.
Mine never turns off either, I use Juice Defender.

eeehmmmm..... when you set it to 'never', it will NEVER turn off wifi. so what you are describing is supposed to happen!
or did i understand you wrong?

And there's why lol
Just putting it out there, but my WiFi state while asleep doesn't seem to do anything one way or another. My battery drains the same amount if I don't actually disable WiFi, and connectivity is never there on wake (even if set to be).

Actually its set to "keep wifi awake on sleep" never
The OP did not specify what FW he was on hence I mentioned mine. In your case assuming youre on .13 and got the bug, I think Gary mentioned they had pin-pointed the problem and coming out with a fix by early next week.

Sorry its on .13
Sorry to revive an old thread but has this issue ever been solved? No matter how many times I set "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to "Never", the moment I change wifi access points or turn off then turn on wifi, it reverts back to "Always".
I am running the latest update .21.
Furthermore under "ASUS Customized Settings", "Disconnect network during sleep" has been giving me similar issues as well.
Any input would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Mine battery widget says that wi-fi is ON all the time when sleeping no matter what is ticked in option. So i turn off wi-fi manually to save battery.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
I use Tasker...
Screen on, wifi on.
Screen off, wifi off.
It's automatic, and works great.
I don't mind my wifi being on, with all the apps that run in the background they always on, notifying me of new emails and app updates.
I found out just recently that my tablet was still connected to Wifi, even though the last usage of my tablet was about a day before. I have the disconnect network during sleep enabled and keep Wi-fi on during sleep set to never and I still experience 96% battery usage according to battery widget. Idle is at 4% usage. So I went through the settings, unchecked/unselected, then rechecked/reselected the choices to make sure they're actually selected. BTW, I'm on the latest firmware - 9.2.1.24. I can say it hasn't rebooted for over 265 hours.

WIFI sleep policy (ain't turn off on sleeping)

I'm using stock rom 4.0.3 LPG with siyah kernel 3.4.1
Seems like the wifi ain't turn off even when I choose (in advance manu) "keep wifi on..." only when plugged in or never.
Nothing really helps..I can still see its on (also on battery monitor) when the device is on deep sleep.
Alao there is no app or service that running and required wifi while it last...
Sometimes its turn it off after ~30 min, sometimes after more then 3 hours (if so).
Anyone have any idea how to make it work or why is it happens?
Well looks like it is not permanent, sometimes its took 1hr of screen off to get wifi sleep and sometimes took 30min to turn it off.
Also forgot to mention that when the WIFI was awake all the time its happened when there is even no WIFI connection around (no routers)...
What could it be ??
any help will appreciate.

Issue with WiFi turning off. Anyone else has this issue?

Hi Guys,
I am facing a problem with the WiFi staying on on my brand new xz1.
In the Wifi preferences, under Advanced preferences, if i select "Never" for the option "Keep WiFi on during sleep", i have noticed that the Wifi turns off when the phone goes in sleep mode.
But the problem is that it does not turn back on. It stays off until i turn it back on.
Does anyone else also experience this or is my understanding off somewhere?
Thanks,
Prasad
No one else is experiencing this?
What could I be doing wrong or maybe i have set this wrong?
Any help guys?
Nope. I even noticed that since the latest update for my Z5 that wifi kinda doesn't work even tho it shows as connected after the phone has entered sleep. My XZ1 does the same. I'm assuming it's some new android power saving? My As soon as I unlock everything works fine again but if I'm downloading torrents or streaming movies to my tv i need to keep the phone plugged in so it doesn't sleep

If you select never it means: never keep wifi on during sleep = turn wifi off during sleep.
Select "always" if you want to have wifi always on.

The problem is your comprehension on the setting. Understand the setting and the options it is very clear once you understand the meaning of the setting.
You have set the phone to deny WiFi when screen off. Full stop
I experienced an issue on the first day where it would connect and then quickly disconnect while connecting to a public network. Haven't faced the issue since then again under the same circumstances.

Yes quite right.
I have set the phone tondeny wifi onky when the phone sleeps.
Does it bot mean then that when thw phone wakes up from sleep, the wifi should also turn back on?
That is how it works on other android devices.
But with xz1 once the device goes to sleep, wifi shuts down which is good.
But when i wake the device, wifi stays off. It does not turn back on.
Thanks for reading.

I see.
Not noticed anything like this.
However I have the same setting applied (WiFi off during sleep.)
So I'll test this later and report back.

It works for me dude. WiFi signal reconnects as expected when screen is turned back on after a sleep.
All I can say is Sony's OTA updates since even my z3 have always caused issues. Try a factory reset.
Thanks for testing it out and glad to know there is no issue.
Will do a reset soon enough and report back though it might take a while as i am travelling.

Try turning off data. There is a setting that keeps the lte active for faster network switches. I have same issue. Don't notice it when data is off.
I am suffering the same Wi-Fi issue. It is only since the recent update this has occurred. I've contacted Sony to no avail. It's driving me mad.
Same here (FW:47.1.A.12.145) WIFI router is with atheros chipset.
When phone is going to "sleep" wifi is switching off (even if it is set to not do so).
It seems that flushing cache partition is fixing it for some time.

Your phone is always awake whereas mine isn't (see screenshot, awake is "éveillé"). Maybe you need to disable mobile network like me ?

Yes, but before the Pie update, my pocophone was going in deep sleep and uses 2% standby at night, now 10%

That's why I thinks it's a bug. May be usefull to make a bug report.
I have the same increased stand-by battery usage (1-2% per hour). After monitoring battery usage with a Gsam Battery Monitor app, I noticed that 'sms_snd wakeup' activity was active for several hours.
After googling, I found out that sms_snd is a proximity sensor's process.
Try to disable 'Pocket mode' in Settings -> Lock screen & password -> Advanced section.
I am testing it at the moment, will share my results after a day of usage.
Please try and share yours.

You can as well switch off the phone.
You have a severe mobile signal issue. The place where the phone was (while sleeping) has a very bad mobile signal. So for you it might be a solution to switch off the network. If you can't do that (as most of us can't afford to do that), another option is to switch to 3G or 2G where the signal might be better.

Actually I don't think it will disable this process. A lot of users are reporting that there proximity sensor is always on (small IR led in proximity always on). This activity could be the source :/

Yes I could switch it off at this point xD. But it's faster to wake up when it's on airplane mode. Anyway I don't personally need network when I'm sleeping.
I have not noticed any progress with Pocket mode turned off. Also double tap and change orientation wake up switchers are turned off. 10.2.2.0 is in use.
Still awaking, still battery draining...
Are there any news to resolve the problem?
Turn off adaptive battery. It has improved battery life for me noticably.

It is already turned off.
Same issue with mine...
Googled a lot but no progress .. nothing works..
If anyone find solution.. please do inform me..
I did not have any issue when moving to MIUI 10 (androi Pie) myself on my pocophone, but I recently installed a nokia 5.1 plus for a friend.
New, out of the box, new install, immediate upgrade to android 9 (it's an android one phone), no additional apps installed.
It barely survived more than 10-12h, phone never went to sleep.
I found this was a quite common problem when upgrading to android pie, and most users suggest to clear system cache from recovery menu.
However, that is not possible anymore as in most cases android pie doesn't show you that option anymore.
I solved the issue by doing a factory reset from within the OS, then did not configure it when it started up. Instead, I turned it off again, booted to recovery menu and again wiped all data. After that, the phone was configured and the battery was fine. From 10-12h it now holds for 40+ hours.
For reference: that phone lost 30-40% during nighttime!
I'm having issues with my battery too, does anyone know how to fix this?

There can be hundreds of reasons. If you are merely going to ask a question without furnishing any details, this is the best I can do.
