Hi!
I have nAa-s really good kernel and gingerbread minicm7 2.2.1, and the wireless tethering is working flowlessly until the phone goes to standby or until im lockin it. Simply, the signal drops while the phone is locked or is in standby mode, actually theese two is the same.
When the phone is pluged in i still have no problem.
So i need to set somehow the wireless signal emitter port to stay awake whyle the phone is locked.
Any ideeas? Thanks in advance.
You just have to set the brightness to minimum and the screen timeout as high as you can, sorry. There's no fix for this

You can use barnacle tether or USB tethering.it's a known issue without a known fix

Are you tried this:
Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings > Menu button > Advanced > Wi-Fi sleep policy > select "Never"
Maybe this is why the wifi turn off when the screens go off. I'm not sure if works

I own the X10 Mini Pro and the WiFi hardly stays on for more than 10 minutes at a time. It doesn't loose connection, it doesn't get disabled, but it just turns it self off in a way. To connect to the internet again i have to disconnect and connect to the access point. Has anyone else experienced this?
It's not a big deal, but still. Does anyone know how to fix it? I've tried to use both WiFinder and WiFi Buddy without success.
I have the same problems. It's quite annoying to restart the wifi so often. I hope that soon SE will release Eclair for it and repair this and other problems like this one. Or I will try to manage the bugfix myselft and if it won't be possible I'll give back my phone to reseller because this is not normal. I had "old" HTC Magic before and it did not have these problems.
It might be a stupid suggestion but have you guys adjusted the wifi sleep policy?
Go check in settings > wireless controls > wi-fi settings > bottom left hardware key > advanced > Wi-Fi sleep policy > select never
Does this fix the problem because I have enabled this and don't have a problem.
cheers

use Wifi Manager..

I cannot use this because I'm not an administrator of the wifi router. Maybe I'll try the Wifi Manager, but not now. I hope that new release will be soon and have less bugs.
Same problem here. I have set the sleep policy to never. My router is only using AES, no TKIP.

Try WiFi Power Manager from the market, solved it for me.
Today I recieve an update OTA to build number 1.2.A.1.174 and it seems that the problem with my Wi-Fi is solved ... at least for now. It solved a few another problems which I discover (f.e. changing radio station with handsfree, UI improvements, ...) but non all of them. I hope that the Eclair update will be soon.
After 2 days of work, I have no more ideas...My new A101 doesnt work with 3 (!) different wireless adsl router. I already try the WAP/WAP2/WEP/no encryption with the same results.
I'm using last Froyo 2.2 firmware...
It seems that A101 works fine only with my Desire's HotSpot !
Any idea ?
I've got the same problem, I've got kind of a solution. I you play continuously a radio station with Tune In radio then you will not lose your connectoin.
You could try "disable powersave" when you are connecting to the network.
Then just make sure you turn your wireless on / off when you aren't using it.
Hi there!
I had a bug that when I clicked on the found WLAN Network to connect and disabled the powersave there, if I checked the connection afterwards, it always said, that the powersave isn't disabled.
What I did is to add my WLAN Network manually and not by clicking on it and disabled the powersave there. That worked for me, you could give it a try!
Cheers
1. download and install spare parts
2. open and scroll down to wifi sleep policy
3. check never
4 reboot
I also had problems with dropped wifi when the archos went in sleep mode. Disable powersave did not work. Untill I found softlocker in the market and installed that. It works very good and i have no wifi drops anymore. I talked to the developer and he's very responsive to requests and bugfixes he put up a donate version so if you like the app please donate.
PS: I'm not the developer.

Does not work I tried that only softlocker seems to work correctly.
Thanks for the tips. It seems really absurd but the solution was to set in NEVER the idle of wifi settings...that's the same tip to use the Tune...but in silence mode
Thanks.
ps: I set the encryption back to WPA and all works fine

Hi,
I have got a new MTNL 3G connection (I am from India), and am trying to use the USB Tether option to browse and download from the internet. However, when I leave my phone / computer to idle, the connection drops. I was earlier on Froyo (2.2) and am now on CM 7 version 6.5.5.
Does anyone have the same problem? Is there a solution?
I have tried keeping the screen awake, screen timeout options etc. Have tried PDAnet and Auto USB Tether too.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks

try settings>wireless & networks>wifi settings>hit the menu button and choose advanced>wi-fi sleep policy>never
before i did this myself my wifi kept turning itself off whenever the screen turns off. im not sure if this will work for mobile data but it wont hurt to give it a try
U can try to connect the internet via dialup connection. I had this problem too.
N u can also access ur sd card with internet connection on which is not possible with usb tethering

I am using USB tether and not wifi. Dial up will not give me 3G speeds, and I am on cyanogen CM7, so don't know if dial up is possible. Net seems to be working fine right now. Maybe it's an area specific problem. But would want to know if anyone has figured out a solution.
Thanks

I had this issue on Airtel 3G and CM7. It is fully fixed in the GB roms based on stock.
Yes dialup will give u 3g speed bt dnt knw it works wid cm7 or not bt i guess it should just check dat if ur system is detecting ur phones modem den it will surely works.

Hi guys, in this days i have noticed a problem with my gsII.
Sometimes I have the gsII connected to my router but internet connection doesn't work.
I'll try to explain better what i mean... I start wifi on my gsII and use internet connection without problem. Then I set the phone in standby mode leaving wifi on. When after a while i want to use internet connection, it doesn't work. The telephone is still connected to my router but i can't use internet on the phone.
The only way to make internet connection work is to disable wifi e then reactivate it.
This is really frustrating....
I've got the telephone from three months but only now I'm noticing this problem because first I used to disable the wifi and activate it only when i need it.
Am I the only to have this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks to everyone in advance... any help would be appreciated
A video is more than thousands of words, so this is an "example video" of the bug:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4um-AqLk1jw
Test it with a different router, i.e. Cisco E4200.
It would a good idea but i have to buy a new router or go to some friend's house for 2-3 hours. I'll keep this idea in my mind thanks
I have this problem, mines a bt home hub v3. Don't think its the router I blame the phone. I have to restart phone to make it connect with ability to use internet

I do not know what " standby mode" is? I have the same phone and have no problems with wifi. The phone goes to sleep when I do not use it and awakes when I use it.
It seems that your phones wifi is sleeping and not waking up. I always turn it off when not using it anyway. Not the full answer but it works for me.

I don't use wifi very often, but I do notice this problem with 3G data. Modem problem? I'm using kh3.

I believe I know and had the problem you describe.
For me the Wifi would work perfectly at first and then after the phone had been left for a while I would try to use it and get 'no connection' type errors. Sometimes it would even stop working even if I just waited too long with the phone still on in my hand.
I found that if I either disabled router wifi security or set it to WEP the problem disappeared. The issue occurred on 2.3.3. My router is a DLink one fyi. I have yet to test 2.3.4 which came out yesterday in Sweden. Ill let u know.
What version android are u? Does relaxing ur wifi security fix it??

I really should have said that is a workaround not a fix. I can add also that I have contacted Samsung about it. They cannot confirm or deny thru issue but suggested that I take the phone to their service centre. Yay...

Ehm...For standby mode I mean that I lock the phone, I only shut down the display....understand what I mean?
If you turn wifi off when you don't use it, you'll never see this bug. Try to leave wifi on for some hours if you want to understand if also your gsII has this bug.

I tried changing the channel also. I have heard others getting this to work. Didn't work for me. You can use Wifi Analyser app on phone to find a clear channel and see how u go changing your router perhaps?
I tried re flashing also using factory restore. No fix for me.
Also noticed that u can sometimes get phone to work by toggling Network Data on/off. Not really fun either.
The wifi channels and security settings I am talking about are settings in the router not the phone. What wifi security are you using in your router?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I am not a believer the router is at fault in any case. I would entertain an incompatibility but nothing more.
Original router and security settings work fine for...wait for it...an iphone 3gs and a Motorola Defy (yes the phone which seems to have issues with doing everything else!)
Either way an incompatibility is not acceptable either if that's what it is

I know this, and in fact i have to switch off and on wifi connection when this happens.
Now i'm trying to use channel 5 with the router ( but yesterday I've tested channel 6 and 13 without any result)
I hate this bug because beacause it happens only when he wants! I'm quite sure that assistance wouldn't solve the problem. A friend of mine has changed three gsII and said that every gsII that he has changed had this bug!
Ps: Another question.... How often do you have this bug?
Once a week? Once a day? Three times a day?

i have the same problem reported in the 1st post.
i have been turning wifi off and then on again for a quick fix until now but i think the solution might be to drop the security on the router from WPA to WEP. Haven't tried it yet tho, because it doesn't bother me that much.
I had an ipad previously (before i had the SGS2) and it had exactly the same behaviour. I looked up the problem then and found a FAQ from the ISP that mentioned a compatibility problem between ipad and that router, so their suggestion was to set the router to WEP only.

Easily more than 3 times a day but then I use the phone a lot.
Problem had never occurred when I used only 3G. That was my workaround when I got fed up with it before I dropped the wifi security.

For me it happens always after the phone comes back from stand by with wifi on.
steps to reproduce:
1-turn wifi on, and check it's connected and working
2-press power button to turn off screen
3-turn phone back on, try to access a new web page, it doesn't work
I noticed that while it's in stand by i will still receive email notifications so it probably only looses the connection when i turn it on again.
Also, if there was some program working (say, a download) when i went into standby it will probably still be transferring when it comes out of stand by, it's just the new connections that fail.
Hi All,
I am (and may be many of us) facing the following problem while using Portable WiFi Hotspot.
When you are using your device as a wifi hotspot and if mobile screen goes off (after certain timeout) your connection will end and you will not be able to surf internet on other connected devices. Again, if you wake your screen back, you will be able to connect, access and surf via wifi hotspot.
i.e. one has to keep screen wake in order to keep connected via WiFi hotspot. As soon as screen goes off, the connection drops away.
Can anyone provide the solution of this problem.
I am using MiNiCM7+ nAa11 on X10MP.

well, maybe this is not the best solution, but worth to try, I usually used this:
1. download on market app called No Screen Off
2. run the app
3. now your phone will not turned off it's screen
4. decrease the brightness to lowest
5. activate the wireless tethering/portable hot spot
