All,
Seem to have an issue w/ my Folio. On TNT Mod .4, dexter 1.3D and the new Notion Ink .1 mod, my screen continues to flash when in standby. Whenever I push it to standby, every 5 minutes or so the screen will turn on, does anyone have any thoughts?
Also - the sound doesn't work at all, has anyone else had that issue?
Thanks.
It's a known issue...
All Folio users have this bug...
At the moment you can fix it only by changing the Wireless-Standby-rules to "never" + keeping WLAN (take a widget) always on. Then your Folio is sleeping very well without waking up all few minutes.
Thanks so much !! I didn'nt thought it was so simple, i tried everything before ! I used Keep Wifi Service app. Works fine now.

I got my gTab on Wednesday and so far I am very happy. I played with the 3588 stock ROM for a day and got a lot of force closes, so I switched to TNTLite 4.4.0. I initially had some FCs with that too, but after switching to Launcher Pro and Dolphin and doing the step 6-7 of the market fix it seems to be settling in.
My problem is that when I bring the gTab out of standby I sometimes have to turn the WiFi off and then back on in order to get a usable connection. It comes out of standby and says it's connected, but I will get nothing but 404s until I power cycle the WiFi. It doesn't do this all time, but it's enough to be annoying. I use a WPA2-PSK network with AES encryption. Any ideas?
Happens to me too. I'm thinking that disabling wifi on sleep might work for me. Depends on how fast it comes back on at wake.

I've disabled this and it is still iffy for me whether it comes back automatically or not. I've taken to just cycling the wifi every time. having a widget helps with this.
I'm having the same issue too. I'm running the Vegan Rom 5.1.1 and after waking from sleep wifi shows connected but I can't use any wifi resources until I kill wifi and then restart it. Then all is well ???
I switched from TNT Lite 4.4 yesterday to Vegan 5.1.1 and I am still having the same issue. Any ideas?
I would like my gtablet to remain able to establish ssh connections
after the display turns off.
It appears even if I set the wifi preference to never go to sleep, once
the display turns off I cannot either ping or ssh into my gtablet?
So, I wonder if there is a way to do this.
(By the way, I assume that the wifi has power saving implemented
so just sitting around will actually not use much battery.)
I've noticed that when the screen goes off, adb even loses the tablet until you turn the screen back on. But I am having the same issues with Wifi, and setting it to never sleep in addition to installing a keep alive app doesn't seem to do much good. When the screen goes off for a couple of minutes, all connections seem to be lost.
It would be nice if there was some sort of solution to this.
yes, I can't get wifi to stay on. Basically, I want the tablet to stay
on but the screen to blank.
This is more important now that I have rsync installed and could
do automated data transfers or backups at scheduled times.
I am running Vegan 5.1.1 and am wondering this too, is it a vegan problem or gtab? Is there a dev that can make a kernal to stop this?
I am on a TnT ROM using Clemsyn's kernel, and I get the same problem, so it might be a device issue.
I'm trying out an app called Wifi Fixer -- free from the Marketplace (though I'll get the .99 cent donate version if this works). I left the tab display off and untouched for about 10 minutes just now, and wifi was still connected when I turned it back on. I'll let it sit for about 1/2 hour and see if it still works. If so, we might have a winner
In TNT (Lite), try Settings -- wireless -- Wi-Fi Settings -- Advanced Settings -- Wi-Fi Sleep Policy
wifi sleep policy is set so -- supposedly -- wifi never sleeps, but that did
not work for me (wifi was shut down when tablet goes to sleep - I wonder
what controls that - I would want display and system to have separate
sleep control ...)
But I found an app in market, wifi keepalive that seems to be working.
My tablet just turned off the display and I can still ssh, ping and rsync
successfully.
Maybe that is the solution.
I wonder how much power this will draw?
(I have a nokia n810 "mini-tablet" and even with wifi on (power saving
mode enabled) battery consumption is pretty minimal if wifi is not
actually in use. Does android use power saving mode in wifi?)
Well, I already had it set to never sleep. The Wifi Fixer seems to work though -- I let it sit for about 1/2 hour, and when I flipped it back on, the wifi was still connected.
Edit: Nevermind, that didn't work either. Sucks, I love this tablet, but if it's a dead fish when the screen is off for a few minutes, it's lost a good deal of usefulness to me.

That was the one I was using initially, but while it wouldn't drop the wifi connection upon turning off the screen, it would eventually drop it -- when I woke the tab back up, I'd have the wifi lost icon for a few seconds.
it would eventually drop it

yep, it looks like that happened here too ... maybe some other
app is resetting this; it lost my connection after a radiotime
app was playing for about half an hour with screen off
I hear that ubuntu might run on this - it would be great to
have a **real** operating system to fiddle with
Hi,
I just bought a Sony Tablet S, amazing device. The only problem I'm having is that when the tablet is idle, or the screen shuts down, the WiFi gets disconnected and it doesn't reconnect untill I open the WiFi panel in the settings app.
Now before you guys jump to conclusions, yes, I changed the WiFi disconnect policy to "Never (uses more battery power)". That hasn't helped at all.
Any ideas? Is this just with Sony S or a generic Honeycomb thing? Tablet hasn't been rooted as yet.
Try Advanced Wifi Lock Free. It works well with my tablet.
This issue seems to be a bug in Tablet S. I hope they'll fix it in the ICS release
Yes, already discuss here...
You need to install a must have application...
Advanced Wifi Lock
https://market.android.com/details?...DEsIm9wb3RlY2guYWR2YW5jZWR3aWZpbG9ja2ZyZWUiXQ..
Worked
Thanks for the app recommendation. It's working...so far .
I bought my Tablet S 2 days ago.
Though I have heard of this issue before, my new tablet does not have this problem, maybe Sony has fixed the bug.
p.s. I changed the wifi disconnect setting to Never.
I started using wifi advanced lock a couple weeks ago and it works great! Much better than making sure the screen stays on during all your downloading
...Although I've noticed a massive change in battery life. Typically I was always getting 7-8 hours of screen on (gaming) time out of it, with up to an additional 24 hours of time with it on standby.
Now I got about 13 hours standby and 4.5 hours screen on time with wifi constantly on.
All I'm saying is to have a widget for turning on/off wifi quickly, and leave it off when it's not in use. I didn't think that wifi made THAT much of a difference..but apparently it does lol (and that was still without autosync on either)
I uninstalled that and use spare parts instead. Advanced wifi lock was horrid with my battery grrr
I think is normal, because if you put your tablet in standby is because you're not using them so why you need wifi on?
When you turn on again the wifi will reconnect auto again
WPS Wifi Lock
I had the same issue when connecting at my house, If you have a WPS enabled routter, connect to you access point using WPS. At keeps the signal locked.
I like keeping my wifi on while my screen is asleep so that I can receive chat messages or e-mails without being at my computer. I never had this problem while running ICS on an unrooted TF201, but ever since I installed the upgrade to JB my wifi will always disconnect after the screen has been asleep for a few minutes. I've checked every setting I can think of. In the Wifi Advanced menu, I have it set so Wifi is always on, and in the ASUS customized setting I have Disconnect network during sleep to off. Under Power Saver I have Enable low battery settings off, set Low battery level to 0%, and even set Wifi OFF to off. Despite all of this, it seems like the tablet under JB goes into some sort of deep sleep and disconnects the wifi after about 5 minutes of inactivity.
I have noticed that this problem does not occur when the screen is on. I also have the dock, and set the screen to always on during meetings in the event that I don't need to enter any notes for a few minutes so I don't have to fool with any delays from screen wake .
Is there some setting I'm missing? Is it a hidden setting that I could access by rooting? Or am I dealing with something internal to the build that I can't change at all? This may not seem like a huge deal to most, but it has become one of my main uses for the tablet when I'm at home. I'm very disappointed with JB so far even though the wifi does feel more responsive on the Prime after the update (when it's not sleeping, of course!).
EDIT: I noticed this evening that the wifi turns off even when I'm running something that uses it while the screen is off. I was listening to Pandora, and about 5 minutes after the screen went off, my music stopped. When I turned the screen back on, I saw that the wifi had indeed become disconnected.
hey,
I have exactly the same problem with my tablet. I have checked every option, I did a factory reset several time, I have checked it on 2 different routers but it is still disconnecting the wife when it goes in the sleep modus. Did you or anyone else find a solution?
Hey guys,
I have a "little" problem with my S2. Whenever I leave wifi on and let the screen go off, my phone will get into SoD (sleep of death) and I can't wake it up. This will happen sooner or later.
I have this problem with every ROM I can think of. It's been a long time since I used a stock ROM, so I don't know if this only happens on Custom-ROMs.
Finding out that wifi (or my data connection) was causing those problems was a long process with a lot of frustration and trial and error (catlog won't work or doesn't show anything regarding the problem).
I tried to get rid of this problem with the APP "PNF - Push Notification Fixer" by reducing the heartbeat intervall of the wifi and mobile to 5 and 6 minutes (15 and 28 before) this seemed to reduce the frequency of the SoDs, but they are still happening.
I can get rid of the problem almost all the times with deactivating wifi when I let the screen go off or lock the phone myself. I get the same result when I turn off "Wifi optimization" in advanced wifi setting, but this is draining my battery pretty fast.
So basically I can use my wifi only when the phone is on the charger (no deep sleep at all) or if I turn it off when I lock the phone (something like 30 seconds can sometimes be enough to get the phone into SoD).
With data on and the screen locked I only experienced one SoD and this seemed to happen when I lost my signal at all.
So my conclusion is, that whenever I lose my data connection (might it be wifi or mobile) my phone does seem to get stuck in deep sleep at that moment or the moment it tries to reestablish the connection (the problem most propably got less after using PNF, because my router would kick my phones connection after a few minutes (10 would be my guess) of inactivity and this prevented a long enough inactivity. But they still happen (SoDs)). When I turn both wifi and mobile off and let it go into deep sleep this is no problem and no SoDs happen.
The SoDs were less but also happened when I were on CM11 M11 official, but got really frequent when I switched to Markox89's version of CM.
This is no rant or anything, I just want to get to the core of this problem and wanted to see/ask if there is something different in the Wifi module or wifi settings in this build and what could cause this very annoying problem.
Maybe someone else has this problem, too. Maybe my hardware is just faulty and I have to live with this :/
If it wasn't for this problem this ROM would run pretty smooth and flawless.
Does anybody else have the same problem or somehow knows how to get rid of it? This would get a lot of frustration out of my everday life :victory:
My setup right now:
- Markox89's CM11 Mod (22.11) (4.4.4)
- Lanchon's TRIM Kernel for CM 22.11 (same problem before using TRIM)
- Lanchon's Music bug fix (same problem before using Music bug fix)
- Modem: XXMS4
EDIT:
- XPosed with Xprivacy
- common apps like Threema, Telegram, whatsapp...
Tl;dr: my phone gets stuck in deep-sleep (SoD) if I leave wifi on when my screen turns off. no problem with mobile on or both data connections off. Halp?
@xhoster try to clean flash a rom and try it without all those apps you are using and then you can see or its app related or rom related. If it's rom related then I think some people already posted before there.
Also maybe try a custom kernel.
Try these things, I can't help you further then this atm.
Also mybe logcat the issue so you can read where it goes wrong.
FINAL EDIT: The problem seems to be the wifi driver all along!
Flashed the Apolo Kernel and this solved my SOD problem only had two since then and those seemed to be APP related!
Happy right now
It's seems to be the xposed framework! Tried it with a fresh installation after RomNuke and the phone was sleeping for 45 minutes and nothing happened, installed xposed and 10 minutes later I got a SoD. Tried it with the 2.7 beta 1 and the 2.6.1 stable version. Both gave me a SoD when I left wifi on...
Is this a known problem or has anybody ever had this problem?
When I tried it, I didn't even installed any modules, just the framework.
EDIT: I am going to test a bit more to see if it really is xposed or just the phone hanging whenever a connection is lost.
