The scanning icon comes up every 5 seconds. Just wondering is this normal or what? Never showed up on my S2.
Also I keep getting a "connected to wifi network" notification at the bottom of my screen every few mins. Can't find anything to disable this.
Anyone in same boat?
It looks like its having problems keeping connected to your network, but its strange as you got full bar connection does it drop to nothing or is go very low when it reconnects?
This can be controlled with Rom Toolbox if you are rooted. I do it with my Note.

if the wifi switches off on screen of thats wifi sleep policy, I don't know if thats under battery saver feature so if you have that on that could be why ill take a look.
*edit*
So I had a look if you go to Wi-Fi and click on it and navigate to advance you can change the "keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to always. It should stay on all the time now which hopefully should fix your problem

Tried that but still the problem is there. If I turn screen off for a min or 2 and turn it back on then there's no wifi icon for a few seconds. I thought having it on always means it stays consistently connected to wifi? This doesn't seem to be the case as the "connected to wifi network " message appears at bottom of screen again.

I noticed that when the Photon is docked in the HD station, if the screen should come on for any reason whether it be a message or anything else, it seems to stay on forever despite the fact that I have the screen set to shut off after 2 minutes in settings/display. Is there any way to change this behavior? Because I like using the dock as my charger but don't think I will if this behavior can't be changed.

Closest option to what you said is stay awake. Just checked and it is unchecked.
Can anyone figure this out?
It's actually enabled in the framework, if you want to disble that, you will have to modify the framework-res.apk
lol "Where is Cleveland?" "Oh, actually, that's in the milkey way." Can you narrow that down a little please?
I noticed my wifi dies out when locked and getting bad battery life. I took a three hour nap and if went down 15-20%. I noticed my bfs galaxy notes wifi is constant(using the same wifi) even when his screen is off and he's at 14 hours at 40%.
So i guess my question is what is the norm as far as wifi connectivity goes and why does mine disconnect and his stay on? Defective device?

U can change the settings under wifi settings, press menu and then advanced settings.

Holy crap thank you. I had no idea there was an extra advanced menu. =]

Not really sure why this is kept under advanced settings menu..how i'd do it..
Wifi toggled off, hide wifi sleep policy.
Toggle wifi on, wifi sleep policy shows up underneath. Press on this, notification bubble(similiar to how you pick your ringtones/fonts) pops up with the two or three options..
I never understood the need to hide things in "Advanced Menus", just only show what's pertinent to what the user has enabled.
My battery was draining really quickly before I did this. Now everything is much more as expected.
When I unlock the phone it always starts up very dim and sometimes it turns bright sometimes it doesn't. I have auto-brightness off and I have my brightness set to 100%. I have to move the slider off of 100% and back to 100% to get it that bright. It is very weird. Anybody know how to fix this?
I have the same problem.

Been unchecked since day 1. Still does it. Possible that I have a defective unit?

Is it dim on the home screen or certain apps? cuz internet browser, video etc got their own brightness settings built in that you have to change from the settings within the app.

It is dim from the lock screen. Everything once I unlock it is dim. If I lock and unlock the phone like 3 times fast it is fine, but it's a pain in the ass. I'll see if I can take a video of it later when I get home.
I know you said "everything" but try to go to internet browser and disable "auto-brightness" under brightness setting.
Also upgrade your firmware to the latest one to see if that help. My Smart detect is not working and after upgraded it work every single time plus the cell stand by is much improved
I just got my phone back from service, they updated to LF5 - so far it has solved my proplems with dim
I have had 2 handsets that do this now. Its really annoying especially when you are outside.
Basically what is happening is that when your screen dims down before it goes off thats what is happening when you unlock the phone.
I can be using it for 5-10 secs before the full brightness kicks in.
It has nothing to do with power saver or internet. Just running through the home pages and apps list it is doing it.
I am on the latest firmware too.
Does anyone know whats causing it? Is it just a faulty handset (or 2)?
Mine the same. I don't think there bad devices I think its just software related tbh

Well im glad some others of you have experianced this also.
I just hope its something that will be fixed in an update.
It really p****s me off when it does it and im outdoors.
I don't understand my high awake time. I posted some samples. I've much more awake time than my display is on, but I don't understand why.
Kernel wakelocks are about 15 min total, Partitial wakelocks are about 7 minutes, only a few alarms. My Processes consume only seconds of cpu time.
How can i find out what is reponsible for this high awake time? Are there other tools than BBS, CpuSpy and Elixir2?
Is there any way to monitor the phone during sleep/standby what causes awake time?
Your pictures didn't come.
Is sync on, running a location program? Installed any apps recently?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Pictures are now available. Sync is on, no location Program running. No New Apps
Your WIFI is running all the time. Might want to turn on option in advanced settings to turn off wifi automatically after screen is off few mins.
Yep, WiFi. And is your GPS on? If your network provider doesn't offer fast dormancy, you should go on and disable it also.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
are you using apps like screen off or something like that?
Wifi off has no effect on awake time, GPS is only active when used. VF provides fast dormancy.
What causes awake time? I see nothing in BBS?
I use a screen off app. But i don't see any difference when using power button, screen off by app or timeout

I've no problem with battery drain. Overnight with wifi connected (no 3g data) consumes less battery than 3g connection.
My problem is the awake time because i dont' see any cause why this is that high.

That is the culprit
Screen off app dont put your phone into deep sleep but instead it turns off your screen but still awake, meaning use physical power button if you want to put your phkne into deep sleep. And also make sure you close all apps in the multitask or recent apps

I tested it. There is no difference beetween power button and my screen off app (force_lock permission). Both shut down the device and enter deep sleep.
Any other ideas?

I supposed your using BBS? You told me that when you shutdown the device it enter deep sleep? So how in the world you have high awake time if your phone is in deep sleep?
Here try this:
Make a BBS widget in your homescreen bcoz it is more understandable than entering the app itself. You will see deep sleep time and awake time and screen on time in there. Then try to shutdown using power button then after 5mins check if your deep sleep counter goes up, then try your screen off app then after 5mins check if deep sleep counter goes up if not then its different.
Or maybe your wifi or mobile data is on gps is active.

hi!
I have a sony xperia tablet s and yesterday i got the upgrade to JB
I would like to keep the wireless connection on while my screen tablet is off. I tried the wireless option and i checked "keep the wireless on always" but it doesn't work.
Is there a way to do that?
thanks
Try some of these apps https://play.google.com/store/search?q=wifi+lock&c=apps
Haven't tried them though
Advanced Wifi Lock is the best one out there. Has different settings aswell.

yes! it works even the free version.
Like this i can download file all night long!
advanced wifi lock disables sleep.
sleep policy is disable wifi when sleep is triggered.
sleep is triggered when hitting power button regardless if synching or uploading is going on ignoring sleep prevention mechanic thats build in many apps.
most android devices are build to only put screen off when hit power button leaving sleep on untill not used anymore.
advanced wifi lock is btw huge batery drain you won't notice extended batery life improvements from 4.1.1 if you gonna use advanced wifi lock.

Not true. If you enable the option "disable wifi after period of time" (it isnt named exactly like that), wifi is automatically switched off after 20 mins of afk and the tablet goes in to sleep mode.

wifi won't turn back on then not sync for hours unless turn tablet on and turn on wifi.
and will interfear more with syncing stuff that way then not having advanced wifi lock installed.
no idea whats causing it but i don't have advanced wifi lock turning of screen does't put tablet in sleep anymore.
have no apps running and custom homescreen apex launcher.
wifi has been on for 2 hours non stop
MAC Address Interface Uptime TX Rate RX Rate Signal Noise SNR Signal Quality

If sleep is being prevented should wake lock detector not show this ?
apearntly google+ was uploading file in background which has ability to prevent sleep, and if sleep is not triggered wifi stay's on.
so guess wifi working fine now as long apps that upload files or sync have ability to prevent sleep.
