im having an issue with wifi staying on in standy, it seems as soon as my screen goes off i lose wifi connection. i cant understand it because i have ticked the option in power settings to keep wifi on in sleep mode and i've also restricted sleep mode in wifi. so my question does anyone else have this problem and is there a fix / is it just me.
thanks

Hello everybody!
Someone of you has noticed a poor WiFi reception on Hero?
I'm experiencing a poor WiFi reception in my house when Hero is connect to internet thru an access point.
What happen is that after WiFi connection has been established the phone tends to loose it and restart connection thru GSM/3G link.
That happen also if phone stay in the same place without moving around and also when phone is close to access point location.
Any idea about way to solve the problem?
Regards.

Just an upgrade on issue...
If I turn off data connection thru GSM/3G and switch on WiFi seem that WiFi connection is stable so maybe issue come when both data connection are enabled...
Anyway is annoying shout down each time data connection on GSM/3D and power on WiFi!
Regards.
i believe wifi goes idle when not in use. so it connect to 3g or edge. However there is an app if not various in the market already to help keep wifi always on..
Do a search for wifi and see for yourself.

Thanks for suggestion!
At now I've solved turning off GSM/3G data connection when I'm at home anyway I guess that WiFi reception sometimes go away due to issue of the phone or maybe as way to save battery...
when that happen phone stay unconnected so I guess that should be better if I will check for apps that keep WiFi connection always working!

when the device goes into standby, the wifi is turned off to save battery poweer, and it will go back to 3G.
go into the wifi settings, press menu and select advanced.
select the timeout options
set to never and it will not turn off when in standby.
problem solved and you shouldn't have to turn off Mobile data, although with the settings widget on your homescreen turning mobile data off off each time is hardly going to ruin your life. in fact i tend to do this anyway, just cos i have spent too many years with windows mobile....
Here's an annoying bug I've found tho - on TMob UK
If I send an MMS from home, wifi on, it sits there, and doesn't send the message. Until I turn off wifi and 3G kicks in again.
Now I know for a fact that on my Magic, it was able to turn on 3g/HSPDA to send the message all by itself. Might have a look in thodse advanced settings tho to see if there is something I can do.. Not a biggie, just a bit of an annoyance.

I too, have been doing a search on Forums all over Google looking for a resolution to this.
I have noticed if Wi-Fi is enabled I am unable to send or receive MMS messages.
It is an annoyance having to turn Wi-Fi off each time also I am never to know if someone has tried to send a message in the first place.
Currently using T-Mobile G2 (rooted with MCR Rom 2.8) on T-Mobile UK
Hi my friends,
Im using a dropad a8x as my Cardroid, and i want to access it by wifi or 3G while the car is parked.
The problem is, if the screen goes off i lose all my connectivity, this includes both 3G and Wifi.
Is there a way to shutdown the screen but NOT lose the connections ?
Thanks for the help.
I didn't want to leave with replying,
Go to wifi/setting policy and change it to never. (Go to wifi settings and press menu and you will get the options)
Sorry, I can't be more clearly than this, no time for explaining.
eventual you have to activate "best wlan performance" (anything like this) in the same menu.
Well, thats already set
But when i push the button to turn off the screen it loose both 3G and Wifi connection.
Connected to home network, I keep the wifi on my S3 on all the time and it seems to be connected (from the icon in the top bar) but there is no data connectivity.
I have to manually switch wifi off then back on for the internet connection to start working again. This is the case after waking the phone up, and also just when the wifi has been on for longer than a few minutes even when the phone is in use.
Keep Wifi on during sleep is set to ALWAYS.
Does anyone know if this is a common s3 problem or is it specific to my device, and are there any fixes?
Thank you.

Hey guys,
Is there any way to use Mobile Networks without turning Wifi off?
Currently, as soon as I turn Wifi On, if there's a know network around, it will connect to Wifi and obviously Mobile Network (3G) is not used...
However, is there any chance to still use Mobile Networks without:
- Turning Wifi OFF
- "Forget" known networks
Reason for all this is that I'm having an issue with my phone... When I turn Wifi On, it gets "stuck" turning it on, and the only way to get wifi connection is by turning phone off and then on again (seems like a known bug, but nothing seems to fix it)
So what I want to do is to keep Wifi On all the time, but always use Mobile Networks unless I want to connect to wifi...
Any idea?
I had the same problem a little while ago, other software worked for me.
There is a workaround that helped me when wifi was stuck
Go to settings and search wifi hot spot! Turn that on and off and try if the normal wifi is off again.
It doesnt work always, but you can try. But i would say put some new firmware on the phone!

if you go to settings, you see wireless&networks. you can click on "more"
you will see Tethering & portable hotspot click on it, and there is the option for the portable wifi hotspot.
enable it, and disable it again, next thing is to check if you can turn on wifi the normal way again.
i hope this helps for you!
Will give it a try!! Thanks!
I have no problems connecting to a wifi network. The problem is, every time screen goes off, wifi also turns off, even when i set wifi policy to "always on". Has anyone had a similar issue? is it just me doing something wrong? thanks in advanced.
Same problem here on CM10.1. I was annoyed, so I set wi-fi to turn of when the screen turns off.
If anyone has a fix for keeping wi-fi always on, please let us know.
