I wish that was the case too Bluetooth is on even after the 200 seconds, it's just that your phone is not discoverable.
Here's what you should do: Make the phone discoverable, while the counter starts counting down the seconds, pair the other bluetooth device with the SGS2. that's it - next time you enable bluetooth, your phone and the other device should be able to connect.

I have a profile that will turn off wifi after one minute if
display off context is true (Wif-Off).
I also have another profile that turns on the wifi if the following
contexts are met (Wifi-On):
1. Location is near home
2. Day is Fri, Sat, Sun
3. Time is 7am - 11:30pm
I created a task (Wifi Turn On).
When I first run the Wifi-On profile I see it as active my
notification bar and wifi is turned on. Once my phone screen is turned off I
assume the Wifi-Off profile becomes active and turns off wifi.
However, when I turn on the phone again, wifi does not turn back on?
Why? Does it not turn back on because the context has not changed
thereby not causing the profile to go through the Wifi Turn On task? I tried adding a display on context to the Wifi-On profile hoping it would make the profile run the Wifi Turn On task but adding this context prevents the profile from ever becoming active for whatever reason.
Is there I can make these two profiles co-exist? I would like to keep wifi turned off whenever not is use to save battery.
Did you add an exit task to the Wifi Off profile? So that when the screen comes on, wifi is enabled...

Thank you for the reply. The problem with adding an exit task to Wifi Off profile is that I dont want wifi to turn on all the time, which is why I created the Wifi On profile. I only want wifi on during certain times and days and while I near my home. For example, I dont want wifi to turn on while I am at work.
How about Keeping your wifi on profile, and setting your wifi sleep policy under advanced wifi settings, to turn off when screen is off. Then just set up an exit task to turn wifi off when your "on" criteria is not met.
Honestly though I think it saves battery to just keep wifi on, even when screen turns off, so your phone is not constantly checking for cell signal.
Using the "cell near" context won't use much extra battery I don't think? I use it for my location based profiles.

Yes you are right about that. However I am referring to when he is actually connected to wifi, I've read it actually saves battery to just let it stay connected rather than turn off and on again depending on screen state.

Nice article..however I think in my case it makes more sense to turn off wifi when the screen turns off. Even at home, my phone spends much more time off than it does on. I also have my phone to not sync emails, data, etc only on demand. So I think for me, it save battery to turn off wifi when the screen turns off. However, that is still good information.
In that case the wifi sleep policy should work for what you want.

So whats the difference between turning off wifi and having wifi go to sleep?
EDIT: forget it...did a little google search...so wifi sleep and off are the same thing.
Hi,
In my Sony S I set WiFi to turn off when: "Never, when charging" and turn off (unchecked) GSM data transfer but still when screen is off I am receiving emails.
Why it is? If WiFi is not working when screen off, data transfer is turn off why I receiving emails?
It's really icky.
Whenever my screen is off, it DC's, then I hear getting an e-mail, and 10 mins after that, when I turn on the screen it says disconnected. Also, the settings aren't that clear.
A minor bug if you'd ask me
me too
This also happens to me. I recieve email even thogh I have checked wifi off when screen off.
Now I put into flight mode then turn screen off. This seems to work.
So, it looking like we found another firmware bug
I just got my SGPT111 this thursday. Been playing with it ever since. Updating to latest firmware and installing apps and trying different things tearing my hair over the lcd-protection for the display and such IO'm happier than an tornado in a trailerpark over this tablet. Only drawback I have found so far is just the WiFi.
I don't want it to turn of or go offline when screen goes black. I want it active 100% of the time, but no matter what I do or what I try, it still goes off when screen goes black ?!?
Is there something I have missed?
I've tried "when screen goes off"
"never when plugged in" and also
"never (uses more battery power) but still no dice.
Any ideas or suggestions that might help ?
I guess its the system turning wifi on to push email notifications.

something it is. Will try and test another AP if possible and see if that helps.
I want it on, not off
oh ell, I guess I can live with it beeing off when screen is off, but I rather not.
I didn't try it too much time, but with the app "Advanced WiFi Lock Free" it seems that the wifi still works when the screen is off.
However i tried it only a couple of minutes.

a little sad you need to use a 3rd part app for it, but I guess that'll have to do until Sony fix it
Thanx for testing it.
No problem, but its true.. a pitty that has to be an app, fixing this maybe with ics will be corrected... I was trying in the other modes now, like wifi on, only when connected, but it seems. That with this app, the wifi is always on, and not only when the tab is plugged..

Hey,
I'm looking for exactly the opposite. I want wifi off when i turn my display off. Is there an app for that? Because it seems to me that wifi starts sometimes again when i turn the display off even when I've adjusted my settings otherwise.

I thought there was a feature on these phone that you can set it to turn it off when you leave your house and then turn back on when you get back home. I just can't find how to do it.

I think your thinking of the NFC ability.

Try Tasker from the market/play store.

Llama can do this as well and its free.
You could go the cool guy route and use NFC tags. That's what I'll be doing.

There is an app in the Market called Auto Wifi Toggle. I use that, works great. There is also an app called Power Saver Settings (ICS) by Derek Reynolds (aka myn on xda) that shows some hidden settings in ICS. There is an option that is turned off by default that will turn off wifi when it isn't connected, so it works the same way but I'm not sure how well that works. I've been using AWT for years now. Only one issue that I find is that when restoring from TB, it doesn't work until you reconfigure it. No big deal
use power setting from derek (myn) in google play, option to turn wifi off when no connected

It might only catch the disconnect event, meaning, you may need to enable that option, connect to a wifi network, exit the range of that wifi network and it should trigger wifi off. There may also be a small waiting period before it does it, not sure. But that would only make sense to wait 30sec - 1 min before shutting off wifi.

I waited for about 4-5 minutes. Perhaps these ics hidden power saving features simply weren't implemented.
I personally use Y5 Battery Saver from the store. Simple, free, and turns WiFi off when you are out of range.
I am using the SWApp App and it seems to not vibrate or get notification until I press the power button. How can I get notifications in real time and not by pressing power button? Is the Bluetooth going to sleep when put to sleep? Thanks
I Always get a notification... dont need to press anything, have you got a power saver app that is regulating the connections? Normally its wifi that gets killed when screen is off...
Same thing happens to me.
I get the notification at the exact same time the screen turns on.
I doubt this is a bluetooth problem because if I receive a sms and go to plane mode on the phone, the notification still appear when I turn the swatch screen on. (then, swapp link crashes)
If I do not turn the screen on, I still receive the notification, but several minutes later.
@MrTip Did you figure out how to fix the bluetooth sleep/delay issue? Thanks

Firmware issue. General rule is stock for standalone and BT ROM (assuming your TS is even compatible) for companion.
Thanks @Lokifish Marz
Same issue with BT Rom . It only gets notification when power is pressed or notification is delayed. It does get notification when it's supposed to if the device is charging. Swapp/OSmart bluetooth notifications do not work on 20140120, 20140120 with EnSec, 20140527, or Dee Troy 1.1.1 BT Rom. Is this still a firmware issue or can it be hardware? Why is no one else having this issue or is it isolated like MrTip and me? Thanks again!
btw I can bluetooth internet tether with BT Rom now....

In my (successful) attempt to get a working recovery I started with a blank slate and did not reinstalled swapp links yet.
Just wondering if anyone else has had the issue I'm experiencing, basically every time my watch goes out of range, as soon as it reconnects the phone is muted. It doesn't matter if the phone was set to vibrate or volume set to full.
Has anybody had this or more importantly fixed it?
Do you have your watch set to silence your phone?

Maybe disable the setting in the app then? lel
