When does the WiFi turn off? Immediately after the screen does, or 15 minutes after that, or after a few hours?
There is a trade-off between keeping devices like WiFi on and extending battery life. Android prefers the latter and tries to go into suspend mode if it can. If you want to keep WiFi on all the time, you'll have to keep a wakelock active using some of the apps from Market which are designed to do this.
To see what I mean, try this:
Start the default Android music player and set it to play something in a loop. The default music player will set a wakelock and prevent the system from going into suspend mode. This should keep your WiFi active as long as the music plays.
Thanks.. Any suggestions on a app?

I never use such apps, so I can't recommend any. You can, of course, also set a wake lock from the command line. Install the Superuser app from Market, if not already installed, and then inside a Terminal Emulator window, type:
To set a wake lock:
Code:
$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]echo user_lock > /sys/power/wake_lock[/B]
To remove the (same) wake lock:
Code:
$ [B]su[/B]
# [B]echo user_lock > /sys/power/wake_unlock[/B]
The "user_lock", above, can be any word you want, but, you have to use the same word for both setting and then unsetting the lock. Ie., don't use "user_lock" when setting and "xyzzy" when unsetting. Also, only type the stuff in bold.

I was happily playing with it tonight. It's been on since yesterday without a reboot.
I switched the screen off for about 2 hours while I went to watch a couple of programs. Turned it back on and wifi had gone. It would not reconnect.
I had previously (just before I turned the screen off) been adding and removing widgets. I had also put the speed up to 1.5Ghz using CPU Master Free. I had also managed to play a video for the first time using MX Video player.
A reboot fixed it and it's there now.
Anyone seen this?

Hey Alan, yeah WiFi problems are an issue. But can you try to limit questions to the Q&A section. This is really all about developement. I am working on a fix for it.

1. Turn off wifi using the wifi toggle in the notifications bar
2. from the homescreen, hit menu>settings>wireless&networks>wifiSettings
3. turn on wifi and tap n hold on your saved network, select "Forget" (may take a little bit to register your touch, don't worry it will)
4. turn off wifi using the wifi toggle in the notifications bar again.
5. turn wifi back on, select your network and enter the password.

Nope. Some people just don't know how to handle themselves when development slows down. Seems to happen in any slow sub forum. Don't add fuel to the fire and just brush it off.

Hey guys,
Is anyone else having problems sideloading apps on the Amaze, even with unknown sources checked? Every time I try to install anything, I can only click "cancel" and not "install". It's quite frustrating. Thanks.

Interesting.
What apps are you trying to install?
Perhaps they're corrupted?
Try an adb push.
adb push appname.apk /data/app/
You may have to reboot but that might do the trick.
You can also try an apk installer (or manager).
These apps aren't (gasp) protected are they?

Alright, so here's the deal. Did a factory data reset thinking that it wouldn't do anything and it fixed the issue. Weird...

Don't know if it'l let you push to /data* anyways, instead I would try:

Having this problem now with stock ROM with latest update and no root. It started all of a sudden. Although rebooting fixes the problem, it does so temporarily. This is also affecting installs from the Amazon App Store. Any ideas?

I have this problem with Amazon apps. I haven't tried anything else from the Market.
Restarting my phone fixes this problem for me but after a day or two it does it again.
I am running completely out of the box stock.
So yeah you're not the only one having this problem.
Possible Solution
Found the solution to my problem. Apparently when it's enabled, the Screen Filter app was preventing the side loading of applications. When I disable Screen Filter, I can side load my apps and the Amazon App Store installs applications normally. I no longer have to reboot. Hope this helps.

That would explain why restarting the phone solved the problem, temporarily.
Until of course we all enabled "Screen Filter" again and then it would stop working.
Testing that now.
I have a similar problem when running Lux Auto Brightness.
Disable Lux, sideload the app, re-enable Lux.

This is actually because of the application "Screen filter"
It's actually a security measure build into Android. It's so an application cannot 'trick' you into installing malicious software. (ie. let's say screen filter was hacked to swap the cancel/install buttons.. to make "cancel" appear as "install" etc)
Basically any app that overlays the entire screen disables the install button from working, for added security.

I just started having this problem tonight.
I often sideload apps and never have a problem..
But tonight I just tried, and suddenly I can no longer click the "Install" button after scrolling through permissions.
I can click cancel fine to go back..
but Install button just won't click.
(and I have no "screen filter" app anywhere.)
Running stock 4.2.2 on my GNex.

The (only) interresting part of your link, also in the RootzWiki original thread :
"HOW DO I CLEAR OUT *ALL* MY WIFI SETTINGS AND START FRESH?
If you find that your wifi is "strobing" on and off, or you wish to completely wipe out all wifi settings, you can do this in one of three ways:
THE "RIGHT" WAY (USING ADB):
adb shell rm -rf /data/misc/wifi && reboot
(this will remove the settings and then force a reboot)
THE "I-DON'T HAVE ADB INSTALLED" WAY:
From the Terminal app.
# rm -rf /data/misc/wifi && reboot
(similar command as above. The # is a prompt-- don't type that part. If you see a $ prompt instead, type "su" (no quotes) and it should become a #)[/INDENT]
THE VERY DRAMATIC "I DON'T MIND LOSING *ALL* MY SETTINGS" WAY
Boot into clockworkmod recovery. Do a factory reset. This will remove your wifi settings... along with ALL your personal settings and apps. Only use this if you understand that you will effectively be resetting CM7 to the first time you ran it."

then try changing it to channel 1. the point is that sometimes the channel gets really congested (as in everyone in your apartment area is using the same channel) and sometimes it just refuses to work.
Mine was originally at 11 and it took forever to connect. i swapped it out to channel 1 (i think) and now it's a snap

Hi all.
My SGS2 keeps crashing on me. It doesn't reboot, the screen stays off but the battery will drain right out if I leave it. I have to boot into download mode to restart the phone.
Is there an app I can use to monitor what might be causing the phone to crash?
Thanks
Can you please provide more information about your phone? What ROM are you on?
Anyways, if you can't turn on the screen, what's the use of an app?
Can you reboot into recovery?

Try re-flashing rom or kernel or trying new rom or kernel. If you get same issue on others then its likely a hardware issue.
I wanted an app that would log what was happening in the background before the crash to see if it was software related
. It happens on all ROMS so I am guessing I'm stuck with a hardware issue

If you had USB debugging enabled, you can check with adb... Dunno any other way to get a log.

Telling you're a noob isn't a bad thing. Trying to remain a noob is. You will learn that to get the most out of your phone, you need to read, read, and if you don't understand, search before asking it. Just a tip

I tried 2 profiles so far and they both don't work. The "lockscreen off when connected to certain wifi" and the "turn wifi on when near a specific cell tower". I follow video guides for both, and they're simple enough, that I don't believe I made any mistakes. Yet, they're not working.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I need to enable first?

I created a profile in tasker. This should work but I have not tested it.
You will need to import the project.
- press/hold home button in tasked
- click import: pattern
- click untrusted
- not WiFi connected
- ssid: "input wireless network name"
- click trusted
- not WiFi connected
- ssid : "Input wireless network name"
- turn both profiles on
Hope that works

Hmm. I'll have to look into that one. But I use Automateit instead. So far I really like it, I feel it's got a more user friendly interface than tasker, but my only complaint is that when I set it to silence my phone at work, and at the end of the day it sets the volume back, text messages are still silent, so it takes a reboot to get it back. So I just set it to reboot 1 minute after the sound is set to turn back on.

I'm sorry, but Llama is in no way more powerful.
It may be easier to use, but as far as power goes, Tasker has much more. It has the ability to do more things based on more "states".
