[Q] Wi-Fi On Continually - Sony Tablet S

First I have to say I am grateful to everyone on this forum I have received alot of help from everyone here!
I would like my Wi-Fi to stay on when I am home even when the tablet is sleeping. The tablet sleeps after a minute or so and thats ok but I have the box checked that says never disconnect from Wi-Fi. The Sony S always disconnects immediately after going into sleep mode and that is why I never get email or text notifications.

Hope that helps. I also hope you know that your battery is going to drain a lot faster.
I have another item that might work for you. It is a widget that keeps the screen from going off, when you are plugged into a power source.

[Q] wifi turns off on standby/screen off?

Maybe I just recently noticed, but i cant remember it doing this before:
does everyones tab turn its wifi off when it goes on "standby" ie: the screen turns off? I don't remember it doing this before, i am stock, unrooted.
Everytime i press the power button to see the time or to do something, i notice that at the bottom tray it says no internet connection, but almost as quickly as I slide to unlock my wifi is restored. I have my tab next to me most of the day while I work on my computer, and rely on it to use gtalk, but if it turns wifi off, then I don't get notifications
is there a setting that i have checked or something? I have power saver off.
thank!
Go into your wifi settings, then go into wifi sleep policy, you can change it in there, having the wifi sleep with the screen off will save battery though, so unless you need constant updates or polling for apps I would leave it the way it is
thanks man, didn't see that setting. I am usally plugged in durign the day so setting it to never when pluggin in is exactly what i was looking for.

WiFi working when screen OFF

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.

Keep WiFi on during sleep (Never)

Does anyone else have an issue with the WiFi sleep policy? My WiFi never turns off when my tablet is in sleep mode. I set it to 'never', turn off the screen and no matter how long I wait, it is still connected to WiFi while the screen is off (which destroys the battery now). I have been turning it off manually and putting it into low performance mode every time I turn off the screen, but would like this to be automatic. Any suggestions?
Wont turn off for me also... its killing my battery. I hope a fix is coming soon. .13 has made my perfect tablet a POS.
Wifi is on all the time with nothing turned off and I lost 13% battery over 7 hours. But Im still on .11. I have 5 emails, facebook and weather on push/update amongs other things. Iwould check if something is constantly running in the background and keeping wifi on.
Use Auto Airplane Mode (free on the market). Will disable wifi when asleep. Works well.
Mine never turns off either, I use Juice Defender.

eeehmmmm..... when you set it to 'never', it will NEVER turn off wifi. so what you are describing is supposed to happen!
or did i understand you wrong?

And there's why lol
Just putting it out there, but my WiFi state while asleep doesn't seem to do anything one way or another. My battery drains the same amount if I don't actually disable WiFi, and connectivity is never there on wake (even if set to be).

Actually its set to "keep wifi awake on sleep" never
The OP did not specify what FW he was on hence I mentioned mine. In your case assuming youre on .13 and got the bug, I think Gary mentioned they had pin-pointed the problem and coming out with a fix by early next week.

Sorry its on .13
Sorry to revive an old thread but has this issue ever been solved? No matter how many times I set "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to "Never", the moment I change wifi access points or turn off then turn on wifi, it reverts back to "Always".
I am running the latest update .21.
Furthermore under "ASUS Customized Settings", "Disconnect network during sleep" has been giving me similar issues as well.
Any input would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Mine battery widget says that wi-fi is ON all the time when sleeping no matter what is ticked in option. So i turn off wi-fi manually to save battery.

I use Tasker...
Screen on, wifi on.
Screen off, wifi off.
It's automatic, and works great.
I don't mind my wifi being on, with all the apps that run in the background they always on, notifying me of new emails and app updates.
I found out just recently that my tablet was still connected to Wifi, even though the last usage of my tablet was about a day before. I have the disconnect network during sleep enabled and keep Wi-fi on during sleep set to never and I still experience 96% battery usage according to battery widget. Idle is at 4% usage. So I went through the settings, unchecked/unselected, then rechecked/reselected the choices to make sure they're actually selected. BTW, I'm on the latest firmware - 9.2.1.24. I can say it hasn't rebooted for over 265 hours.

Put your Watch in charge, and connect It in wifi (disable the bluetooth from your phone)
Go in setting ---information--update
You can force the update, just repeatedly tap on the green "system is up to date" screen.
When the download of the update begins, you need to keep your finger on the screen so that the smartwatch does not return to the charging screen.
Good luck
I received the update. The watch stuck on finishing update. Any one have same problem?

It really worked!! Thank you
Since 2.0, my watch isn't showing the Hour when i put it in recharge mode at night. It goes in recharge mode for 5 secondes, showing the hour, and then it goes to a grey screen for all the night. Its annoying to sleep, and useless cause i cant see the hour.
Anyone with the same issue or have an idea?
I found a solution, but i dont know if it's not a bad solution for the battery life of the watch: putting "ALWAYS ON DURING CHARGE" mode in the developper's options. I'am scared to damage the watch and the battery, forcing it to be ON all the night and charging.

Click on the side button of the watch for 2 seconds when it charges, this will open the options of the watch.
Forced update?
Couldn't get this to work for me.
I'm curious though, just how Moto (or Google as the case may be) implements a "gradual" update (that is, some users get it before others).

This is the same as it happens for mobiles.
During big updates you can find devices getting the update with many days difference.

this wil fix it: When turning on in settings 'always on display' it works like before. no need to enable stay awake while charging in developers settings.
Although this fixes the issue, I am somewhat disappointed because this option reduces battery life.

Yeah, and with my watchface, "Always on" display option is unsupported, this looks very ugly because the watch never sleep off, it stays turned on all the time with the brightness at minimum, even if i cover the watch.

Keep tapping until it happens. Might take a while, but it will happen. I tapped mine for over a minute straight multiple times before it showed up.
Now if it would stop constantly running into a problem while installing...
I had to turn off my wifi manually as after downloading, while countdown to restart, it always stopped in between with the same green screen and message that system is up to date. So after downloading is complete, just turn off the wifi. And also make sure to disconnect bluetooth before you try force updating, just connect with wifi on watch, it'll work for sure.

Issue with WiFi turning off. Anyone else has this issue?

Hi Guys,
I am facing a problem with the WiFi staying on on my brand new xz1.
In the Wifi preferences, under Advanced preferences, if i select "Never" for the option "Keep WiFi on during sleep", i have noticed that the Wifi turns off when the phone goes in sleep mode.
But the problem is that it does not turn back on. It stays off until i turn it back on.
Does anyone else also experience this or is my understanding off somewhere?
Thanks,
Prasad
No one else is experiencing this?
What could I be doing wrong or maybe i have set this wrong?
Any help guys?
Nope. I even noticed that since the latest update for my Z5 that wifi kinda doesn't work even tho it shows as connected after the phone has entered sleep. My XZ1 does the same. I'm assuming it's some new android power saving? My As soon as I unlock everything works fine again but if I'm downloading torrents or streaming movies to my tv i need to keep the phone plugged in so it doesn't sleep

If you select never it means: never keep wifi on during sleep = turn wifi off during sleep.
Select "always" if you want to have wifi always on.

The problem is your comprehension on the setting. Understand the setting and the options it is very clear once you understand the meaning of the setting.
You have set the phone to deny WiFi when screen off. Full stop
I experienced an issue on the first day where it would connect and then quickly disconnect while connecting to a public network. Haven't faced the issue since then again under the same circumstances.

Yes quite right.
I have set the phone tondeny wifi onky when the phone sleeps.
Does it bot mean then that when thw phone wakes up from sleep, the wifi should also turn back on?
That is how it works on other android devices.
But with xz1 once the device goes to sleep, wifi shuts down which is good.
But when i wake the device, wifi stays off. It does not turn back on.
Thanks for reading.

Not noticed anything like this.
However I have the same setting applied (WiFi off during sleep.)
So I'll test this later and report back.

It works for me dude. WiFi signal reconnects as expected when screen is turned back on after a sleep.
All I can say is Sony's OTA updates since even my z3 have always caused issues. Try a factory reset.
Thanks for testing it out and glad to know there is no issue.
Will do a reset soon enough and report back though it might take a while as i am travelling.

Try turning off data. There is a setting that keeps the lte active for faster network switches. I have same issue. Don't notice it when data is off.
I am suffering the same Wi-Fi issue. It is only since the recent update this has occurred. I've contacted Sony to no avail. It's driving me mad.
Same here (FW:47.1.A.12.145) WIFI router is with atheros chipset.
When phone is going to "sleep" wifi is switching off (even if it is set to not do so).
It seems that flushing cache partition is fixing it for some time.
