is ur battery saver setting set to that of "maximum battery saver" then change to "night time" saver or some custom setting...
Mine is on performance mode or no restriction... however, I am getting the same problem with wifi disconnecting. This actually happens even without my screen off

do you guys have a sim unlocked phone? and does the phone change from 2g to 3g or vice versa when you loose wifi?
Mine ia not sim unlocked ... I don't know if it ia going between 2g vs 3g

A friend of mine, who also has the 3d, noticed that there was a setting in the wifi settings that enables you to set your phone to connect to the strongest wifi signal. Just go to wireless and connections, go to wifi settings, press the menu button, go to advanced, and select best wifi performance. I never noticed this and thought it was awesome since we have a ton of wifi networks at work that are better in certain spots.

I had been wondering if there was a description somewhere that tells exactly what that setting does. I always thought it ran the WiFi radio at a higher current in order to keep a better signal. Are you sure it has anything to do with always picking the strongest signal?

You can change wifi sleep settings in that same menu also. I run the performance mode and still get great battery life also

Nice because I have two wireless routers one in the front house and one in the back. Sometimes it stays connected to the weaker one when I'm further away from it. Thanks for the tip.

i use an app called green power,its free,it turns off all radios(wi-fi,3g,4g in the paid app)when ur creen turns off and automatically turns them on instantly when u unlock ur screen,does wonders for my batt.life.
It's better to keep wifi connected when the screen is off as it uses less energy than the 3g radio

I'd still like to know your source for the info saying that this setting evaluates the signal from all wifi sources and picks the one with the best signal. This setting is not outlined anywhere other than to mention that it uses more battery. Is it just something you turned on and you noticed it did that... or did you read it somewhere?

I do the same thing unless I'm somewhere that has no wifi. I also disable the always on mobile data which saves battery life without losing functions of your phone.

Disabling "always on mobile data" will prevent you from getting push email from apps like K9 mail. Won't it? I mean, if I'm waiting for an email and I want to hear a chime when it comes in (I have K9 set up that way), it'll never come through if there's no wifi and I uncheck "always on mobile data". Correct?
Mike
Push email still works. Or At least gmail does..

If you have a spot where this would help, check it out. Mine does it at work. We have a customer wifi and a service wifi that get better strengths in certain spots and it will switch back and forth.

Someone should do a couple runs of Speedtest with this on and off to see if there is a real difference in throughput.
Also, turning off "always on data" does not stop Gmail from syncing, and it does wonders for battery life in my experience.

Correct. Whenever you turn your phone screen on though, data will reconnect and stay connected for a couple of minutes, any e-mails that were waiting to be pushed to your device will then get sent. You won't get any notifications if you never check your phone all day, but I'm usually getting a text every once in a while which I turn the phone on to reply to.
You'll get immense battery savings with always on mobile data turned off as well.
I've been try to extend the life of my battery, and one of the things I have done is set the SETTINGS/WIFI/ADVANCED "keep WIFI on during sleep" to "never".
I make this change, but most times when I go back into the settings later on, it's changed back to "Always"
Anybody offer a clue as to why this might be happening?
Thanks.

no idea mate it shouldn't do as i have mine set to never and it stays like that, have you been flashing ROM's or anything like that maybe that could explain it!
No, not really.
The only thing I've done is rooted it. Apart from that, It's still got stock Samsung Rom on it.
Just checked again, and even tried setting it to "only when plugged in, but after 15 mins or so, it's back to "always" again.

For anyone else who might come across the same issue.
After doing a factory reset, and putting apps back on one at a time, I found out it was DoubleTwist Airsync, that was changing the "WIFI sleep" option.
Apparently, the developer knows this, but wants it to work that way.
So it's now gone for me
But you won't lose too much battery on an 7 hr sleep with the always on setting.
I go to sleep with my S3 on 98% and wake up with 92-94% battery left even with received messages from 3 email accounts and other notifications.

I keep mine on always. I lose 3% during an 8hr sleep and it'll automatically connect to my carrier data when my network is not in range. Sure beats turning it off and on a handful times a day.
Weird is that WiFi is active in either option you shoose during sleep. Even if you choose NEVER, open your battery use stats and you'll see that WiFi was active all the time during sleep. I cannot understand why is this issue so underrated here on XDA forums. Or is it some kind of misinterpreting from my side???

Yup afaik, choosing never will produce a wakelock to check the phone state and keeping it on will cause it to constantly scan even if connected to a network. Both choices will eat up battery.
I see many threads suggesting to just manually turn it off, preventing scanning, wakelocks and syncing all together.

So it is normal that if i choose Never in wifi sleep policy phone, i find the wifi always on in battery stats? This question is not so clear...
Is there any explanation of wifi toggles by author... Google?

I'm not so sure if you will see wifi in the battery stats as I think wifi processes are part of the Android system in settings >battery.

Hey Guys,
I have a Lg G2 D802 and I have tried various stock ROMs like Cloudy G3, Optimus G3 and ofcourse the stock ROM. The issue is that my G2 seems to use mobile data even when my data is turned off. Upon further investigation, i found out that it's the Location Service when set to High Accuracy triggers the data irrespective of whether you have mobile data turned on or off.
Thing I have tried till now
1. Mobile data OFF :- Data gets consumed when i have location service set to High Accuracy
2. Mobile Data OFF and Connected to Wifi :- Data gets consumed when i have location service set to High Accuracy
3. Mobile Data OFF and used a Fake APN name :- Data gets consumed when i have location service set to High Accuracy
Due to this issue, i am not able to use offline navigation app like sygic.
A similar issue is Open in the Google Issue Tracker Page which can be found here
Is there any solution yet to get rid of the above bug?
I don't see how this restricts you from using anything. It's not like it's going to ACTIVELY use data, it sounds like it does some sort of very tiny data transfer, maybe even just agps data or such, and I'll bet it does it once a day.
It's not like GPS is "using data".

Yes it uses tiny packets of days, not like once in a day but may be every 10-15 minutes. But the main thing is that data should not get consumed once we have turned off the data.. People who are on roaming can still incur significant data charges. It indeed is a bug which is also on the Google issue tracker. Just wanted to know if anyone had any solution for it.
If it's true, then it's weird.
change location service to battery saving mode. then it wont.

I know it doesn't then but then I can't use offline navigation apps like sygic
if you install an application to track your data will you find the consumption of them?
I know there's some option when doing initial setup (like after reflashing ROM or hard reset). There's a checkbox or two, checked by default. Can't recall its name now but it's something like "Allow Google to do something (?) even when data is disabled".

That's not the issue.. the thing is I want to use location at high accuracy without using data.. I have offline navigation.. but that is not looking possible.
Hi fokls,
I recently updated to 5.1 ( Lollipop). I am on Tmobile and for some reasons, the mobile data setting kept getting disabled frequently.
Anyone knows what to do to fix the issue. I have tried pure stock as well as with root. None of them seems to fix the issue.

Just want to confirm, I have this problem too. Also on T-Mobile.
Edit: is it really just the setting that gets disabled? I have been rebooting to fix it.

Why don't you enable airplane mode and then disable instead of rebooting. It might work.

I tried that, it didn't work. I'm waiting on it to happen again to see if I can just re-enable mobile data.
Even if I can, this is still a very annoying problem. You'll miss a lot of emails, and messages. Yet another reason you might not want Lollipop

Its strange though. But if you go to the setting, then mobile data, you will see that it is turned off. Turning it back on, will re-enable it. I dont know why it does it though. No need for air plane toggle.
Is there any possibility this problem could be tied to a default power-saving setting that is turning mobile data off to conserve battery?
Just a thought.

I did two things, but I haven't had this happen since I did them.
1. Renamed HwPowerGenieEngine3.apk and HwPowerGenieEngine3.odex to disable them. (just add .bak to the end) They are located in "root/system/app/HwPowerGenieEngine3/" and "/<SAME/ARM/"
2. Enabled the option in Mobile Network settings to "Always-on mobile data"
Like I said, I don't know for sure if either really fixed it, but I haven't been having this problem for the past 2 days.
#1 . do I need root to rename the files?

yes, that requires root
I have no answer for you but, I am on T-Mobile and that's not happening to me. My WiFi becomes disabled sometimes/rarely. Also USB debugging gets disabled as soon as I back out of the settings for it. This is on B309.
My friend and I both using HAM2 on Wind, still on 4.3. Phone signal (not only Data) frequently turned itself off, then turned back on after a minute or longer.
Could it be the AWS (1700) frequency not reacting well to Huawei power genie?
I tried using "Normal" instead of "Smart" power saving scheme but no joy. Just froze "Power Genie" app via Titanium Backup. I think it turns the power saving feature off completely. Will monitor to see if it helps. I'll trade network stability for shorter battery life.
Apparently this problem is getting worse with Lollipop update.
