Just bought the mrs a Galaxy S3, she uses Wifi when at home. All the wifi settings are correct including the advanced ones (from the dialer menu)

Hey,
There was a change in API 12 (Honeycomb and later) with the way "wifi lock" is handled. Even if the sleep policy in settings->wifi->advanced->"Keep wifi on during sleep" is set to "always", wifi will still be in a "low performance mode". This results in throttled speed (f.e: stuttering streaming), high latency (ping your phone) and can even cause disconnects, when the screen is off.
Still this is not bug but a feature of Android and should be addressed by any app that needs full wifi performance. Any app that needs full wifi performance (like streaming or file shearing over wifi) should call for "WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF". This can be found in the official "android developer reference". Before API 12 (honeycomb) an app just needed to call WIFI_MODE_FULL for "wifi lock". If an app isn't coded proberly for honeycomb and ICS and has issue with Wifi performance appart from calling "wifi wake lock", you should report that to the developer of that app.
I still found a simple workaround for scenarious in which this function is not properly called. There is an rather simple widget on google play called "WIFI High Performance Widget". If the widget is enabled, the function WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF is called and the wifi performance is on full speed even when the screen is off. Im not in any way involved in the developement of this app and there might be other apps out there, that could achieve the same (for example: Android Terminal emulator also calls WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF if "wifi lock" is enabled.) Still this widget is the simplest solution i found thus far. Just enable the widget and get full wifi performance when screen is off.
Greetings

Is there any other way round this apart from the above ? Its really annoying that this hasnt been fixed, my HTC sensation is EXACTLY the same.
We both use whatsapp, and its annoying because if we are on wifi messages don't come through until you turn the screen back on, on 3G whatsapp works perfectly when the screen is turned off its just the wifi.
Above fix doesn't work.
thats odd , when my screen is locked i receive whats app messages and if i am downloading something over wifi it keeps on downloading, currently on cm10 but when i was on the stock rom , even if screen was locked wifi didnt sleep

Tried that last night, doesn't work.
Same thing happens on my sensation, desire HD, a friends desire HD..but we have a friend in america who has an Inspire and his wifi works fine when the screen is off :/. So originally I think, ok its an android bug..but they why doesn't he have that issue ? I spent about 5 hours last night searching the internet and there are numerous posts about the wifi issue but no resolution.
Have you tried altering security settings on your router?
which rom are you using ?
Figured it out.
3 Android devices were all having the same issue, I have spent over 15 hours researching and I have finally fixed it.
It was my router, not security settings just a common issue, I have an asus RT-N56U, I have flashed a custom firmware to it and my wifi on android devices is perfect, instant updates from facebook, gmail, whatsapp. A lot of time and testing but i'm glad I finally fixed the issue !
Now to order a nexus 4.......
That does not work. Selecting any of these options does not change and wifi stil off when screen turns off. Happen only on JB but not on ICS. Any fix for that please?

Try to switch the encryption and see if that fixes it. If it does then this will be a confirmed issue.
I am here to learn.Thanks for sharing.
Ok it's been about 10 mins without a single drop...seems to have corrected the issue. I was using WPA-PSK [TKIP+AES] and I switched to just TKIP. I'll check back in a bit and let you know after about an hour or so. I'll try it using just AES then switch back to TKIP+AES and I will also try on 5gHz bandwidth.

Glad to see that it worked. Let me know and I'll post it up as a workaround for the time being.
Ok so it seems that the only WiFi issue I'm experiencing stems from using duel encryptions. It works fine using WAP2-PSK [AES] alone. WPA-PSK [TKIP] works fine alone as well. I played around with the settings for a bit but I couldn't seem to get it to work properly on duel encryption.

Are you restoring a backup from an HTC device or perhaps a backup from a Froyo device?
WIFI Disconnect/Reconnect Issue
Here's the issue I've been having. I'm in a very active wifi neighborhood. Even though I had the advanced wifi set to 'Always on' it kept disconnecting (and instantly reconnecting) to my network. The phone is scanning the neighborhood almost every 15 seconds. It's simply WPA-2 with just AES (and I'm not changing to TKIP)
This is a problem for me as I use "WiFI Unlock" to keep from having to enter my PIN when I'm at work/home and "Home Sweet Home" which uploads any photos I have taken to my server when it detects the home wifi network (and deletes them from my phone after 3 months).
Anyway, I was just on the chat with Samsung and in the end we did this,
1. disable the ATT WIFI auto login function (seems there's something similar on the Sprint phones that's a issue).
2. soft reboot the phone (turn off, pull battery, count to 30, boot up)
However this suggested solution doesn't work.
The wifi isn't staying connected though the breaks are very very temporary, but long enough for those apps to kick in.
Update additional things tried:
3. Turned off WiFi power save in the *#0011# service menu
4. Turned off Open WiFi notifications
5. Selected a single wifi band (5Ghz) where there is ONLY one network, mine
FWIW, I like that it connects to my 5Ghz wifi at 150 mbps, the speed is great.
Here's a video of the issue showing the phone:
http://youtu.be/FBo3NFdcMhs
Here's a videoe of the issue showing the router: http://youtu.be/rRALDc8LZOk
Yeah this is the same issue. I tried turning off sprint auto connection feature and also dialing *#0011# menu> WiFi> and disabling WiFi power save mode. But either of those had no effect after I had rebooted the phone. Maybe you should give it a try, it seems we have the same problem but with different encryptions.

I had hope for a few minutes that this would work ( *#0011# ) but it's the constant rescanning for networks.... since so many wifi in my 'hood have the channels set to auto, they're constantly changing as they compete for space. This is why I wanted a phone with 5Gh- I even set it to only use the 5Ghz* but that doesn't do it either even though I can only see ONE network with 5Ghz, mine. this phone is constantly scanning and every few scans reconnecting.
turning off the AutoNotify of open wifi doesn't help either.
It's a plot to make you use more data on the carrier's network!
*which is bad for me, since I rely on wifi which is mostly 2.4Ghz when I'm out of the house (may need some NFC tags for the car or house doors.

WIFI Disconnect/Reconnect Issue - Level 3 report
FWIW. I just got off a 45 minute call with Samsung Help Support, went to level 3 support in Texas. This is newly documented, I've referenced this forum for additional reports of the dual encryption and the wifi connnect/reconnect issue I'm having. My ticket # 2113584507 (just for disconnect/reconnect) which you can mention at level 1 as having the same disconnect/connect issue. I specifically asked if I could post the ticket # so anyone could reference it at Level 1, but they will still take your own experience down.
Level 3 said they expect that they will be getting calls today since it's the first full day after the release. So if you want it fixed, CALL SAMSUNG, they're collecting bug reports.

Hi all!
I have an international version of the S3 with a weird problem.
When I have Wifi connected my phone can't sign in to Google talk and wont receive notifications. I can browse and download stuff though.
If i switch to 3G all is well and working. I have tested on different networks and I have a galaxy tab 10.1 connected to the same wifi without problems so it's no ports in the firewall that's causing it.
If I restart the phone it works for about a day then it fails again and I have to restart the phone to get G-talk over wifi.
I have tried setting the phone a static IP, switched "Keep wifi on during sleep" on and off, tried the trick with power saving in debug menu but nothing helps.
Has anyone experienced the same and can someone maybe suggest a fix?
Best regards
Erik
I have tried IM+ and that works perfectly over wifi. The problem is that since GTalk does not work over wifi then I don't get notifications from Google Play or other apps as well. When i switch over to 3G I get all notifications at once.

The problem is that it have been this way since I got the phone, not just yesterday.
So whats happening is, im streaming pandora or spotify and the music just shuts off about a minute after the screen does. And when i turn the screen on the wifi icon at the bottom right is blank for a few seconds, then turns grey, then blue and the music starts again.
I have checked the option to never turn off wifi and installed wifi keep alive, and tried regpon keep alive but neither are working. I've also been through all the power options and unchecked anything that would suspend my network connection.
I know its not a router issue because I'm getting full bars and everything is fine as long as the screen is active and my other devices do not lose internet connection.
I'm also not using a Dongle. Any ideas?

Unless there is something non standard about the TFP there would be no reason that your streaming apps couldn't retain a WiFi lock - Android programmers guide here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/mediaplayer.html.
If a program such as regpon is needed then I see that regpon was last updated January 2011 - is it worth trying some other apps?

I've had this same problem, and it started after the Jelly Bean firmware update. Doing a factory reset didn't help. I tried contacting ASUS' service department, but they sent me back a boiler plate response just telling me to do another factory reset. As far as I'm concerned, the tablet was broken by the update. It's pretty much useless for any task that doesn't involve the active use necessary to keep the screen awake. I'm going to try calling ASUS this weekend when I have time to sit on the phone, but I don't expect much. At this point I doubt its something I could fix myself (unless I root the thing and spend time poking around for whatever hidden setting is forcing wifi off during sleep) and am resigned to the tablet being broken baring some patch from ASUS.
I've seen some similar reports from other devices too though. Yet not a single solution other than trying those two apps (which didn't work for me either). I don't know if its ASUS' particular Jelly Bean setup or a more general Jelly Bean bug.
My wifi's turning off while the tablet sleeps as well. It's really annoying; hope Asus figures out some sort of solution for this.

Although I appreciate your help, the problem isn't that we haven't set Wifi to stay on during sleep (or unset an option for it to be disabled during sleep). The problem is that our configuration choices are being wholly ignored or overridden by some setting we can't see. For example, my Wifi Advanced Settings is missing two of the settings that are visible in the screenshot you've posted. I've included what I see. I've also included a shot of the ASUS Customized Settings menu which also has a wifi use during sleep option.
The Wifi Timeout option on your screenshot has caught me eye though. It seems like there is something hidden on my tablet (and the others experiencing this problem) that is similar to that option. Again, this wasn't a problem for me before the Jelly Bean upgrade. Setting Wifi to always stay on during sleep under ICS worked just fine.

I don't want to speak too soon, but the latest update seems to have fixed things for me. The patch notes mentioned that they adjusted the wifi configuration to recognize Chinese characters. Maybe the changes they made also corrected our problem. I'm also on my family's router while home fpr the holidays. I'd read that some users in JB regaedless of their device were having this problem with older routers.
I am curious to here if it is resolved for you. I have done the JB update to 10.4.2.18 which had that fix and I still see this problem. In addition it happens on any network I connect to so I don't think the issue is there.
Thanks

shouldnt have to. a streaming app should keep the wifi alive.
I've tested my tablet with all the posted setting set to keep WiFi on during sleep while streaming Pandora and it works fine. I let my Prime sleep for over 10 minutes without interuption. I don't know if this makes a difference but I am docked and using the Pandora app not streaming through my browser (Boat). I then set my Prime to shut off WiFi at sleep and Pandora (on the app) kept straming until Pandora timed out. Strange indeed.
I'm on 10.4.2.18 not unlocked or rooted.

Noob here.......
I saw this post and have just run into this problem myself.
When my tablet screen sleeps, my alarm apps won't work, and none of my mail gets pushed UNLESS I have it charging.
Why does this happen, and is there a work around? I've designated my wifi to never sleep/always be on.
I'm using an Onda v972.
I had a rooted Nook Color, and this never happened with that. Same programs.
Thanks for your input.

Well I found your answer by searching for this issue. I'm sure your answer solved my problem. Thanks!
I upgraded my phone to KK back in late december and have been on it ever since but one problem has plagued me since then and I'm hoping to get some insight here. heres the problem...
When im connected to wifi (and this is only with wifi, not MD) I don't get my push notifications (gmail,fb,words,hangouts,etc) when the screen is off.Often i turn my screen on and get a barrage of notifications that i should have gotten hours ago. Ive tried all the sleep modes and Ive tried turning off wifi optimization.Nothing works and I know for fact it did not do this on JB.
I DO get text messages and phone calls instantly though but nothing else will wake my phone up. While i do enjoy the deep sleep, i would like to get my notifications in a reasonable amount of time without having to turn the phone on to check them.
Has anyone else had this "problem"?
Nope. Have you looked into what is and isn't checked in your Google Settings? There's a Play Games tab that allows you to mute certain games, essentially stopping their notifications. I don't suppose you've messed with that, have you?
It's strange, I've not really heard of this, especially since you're getting texts and such.

Yeah i know and I've googled it to death for a few months now. I'll check g settings but idk why that would stop gmail. It's like when I'm on Wi-Fi w/ the screen off its just a plain old dumb phone. I turn the screen on and the notifications just flood in.
Edit: nothing in g settings is muted. The only thing i can think of is i don't have app data synced in accounts.
I think i figured it out. I had "sync app data" unchecked in accounts. So far I've been getting notifications screen on and off. Now if someone will just play back to me on wwf...
EDIT: i may have spoke too soon. It still doesnt wake up without turning on my screen
hey @SteveMurphy do you by chance use the active display?

I did when I was using Omni and it worked great. I haven't used it since running RR, however.
So you're wifi connected, and have actively turned mobile data off? I have never even tried that...
If, however, you mean that this happens only when you're connected to WiFi, then no, I have not experienced this issue.
The only other setting that I can think of that pertains to sync is in system settings > Data usage > settings > [ ] auto-sync data, but I don't think that would cause the awake-vs-sleep sync issues that you're describing.
I used to use Active display, I currently use AcDisplay, I'll likely go back to using the baked-in active display.

No i never turn mobile data off. I just meant that notifications come as expected when I'm on mobile data but on Wi-Fi, once the phone hits deep sleep (<a minute) i won't get notifications unless i turn the screen on.
I ask about active display because i remember when on resurrection ROM i was using it and getting notifications then and kind of forgot about it but I'm on PAC 4.4 now and it's doing it again. However i was using the init.d scripts they have baked in but have them all turned back off now to see if that fixes it.
It's the strangest thing I've seen. It's like when I'm on Wi-Fi and turn the screen off it just disconnects from all data even though i can plainly see that it is not. Angela has the same phone with the same settings as mine but on RR 5.0.5 and she gets notifications fine.
@cyril279 I knnow this is off topic but have you tried this AD app? Its got some other features/customizations that aren't on the built in AD
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.activenotifications
That was actually one of the first active-display variants that I tried. It worked well, but there were a couple hiccups that kept me shopping. The add-on AD clones have great features, but they don't play well with the stock lockscreen, or they leave the [home] button active, or involve significant lag when evoking the notification. The baked-in clones operate fluidly, but without the cool-stuff. I haven't tried active notifications recently though, maybe the updates have smoothed things out. I'm definitely down to try it again.
AcDisplay's development has been re-directed by Motorola. It's still my favorite of the clones, the beta version is boss, but it still isn't as fluid as the built-in boring-ol Omni AD.

Well all my testing so far has lead me no where with the exception of using that app. So far, I've not been able to reproduce the problem while using it. The question is,"what is it doing" to make it work....
EDIT: The app does not fix it....
just thinking out loud herebut, could this be a kernel issue? Im currently using PAC's kernel that comes packaged in the rom. Maybe I should try @RenderBroken 's kernel...?
Edit: Using RB's kernel breaks some of the PAC features and it did not fix my notification issue

PAC uses a modified ramdisk compared to other CM derived roms. Are you only having issues trying to get PAC running on your phone? Is it KK or JB?

Its 4.4 and I have faced this issue on every rom Ive tried since switching to KK. Im starting to wonder if it's not an issue with my wifi. Im wondering if maybe my wifi is suspending my connection when my phone goes quiet.

[SOLVED] Not Receiving Notifications on WiFi
My suspicions have paid off!! I started suspecting my router was the culprit so i pulled out my old netgear2400 and hooked it up and low and behold my notifications starting lighting my phone up again!!
The problem was the Xfinity router that came from comcast. Apparently it was closing the "heartbeat" line to stay connected when the screen was off before the heartbeat would send again, if that makes sense.
For the time being I'm going to just use my netgear router BUT I was able to fix the problem with the Xfinity router by using an app called Push Notification Fixer. Just install it, follow the instructions, and set the WIFI/mobile data heartbeat to the recommended settings. If that don't work start shortening the heartbeat time. It'll make sense when you see the app.
Hope this helps someone else along the way. I went a LONG WAY down the google rabbit hole before I figured this one out.
Great news, glad it was an easy fix!

Great news! Now you just need to install DD-wrt on your router and turn it from a $40 router to a $400. I know you like to tinker but check it out. ITs free and its just firmware for certain routers. It turned my old wrt54g into a baus

I'm having the same issue with KitKat CM11 ROM on my HP Touchpad (which is WiFi only), and will have to try this. Notifications come in instantly on my iPhone/iPads, but my Touchpad gets some serious delays...sometimes right away, and sometimes delayed.
By the way, did "Sync App Data" setting for an account have anything to do with push notifications, or is that more for backup purposes?
---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------
Oh darn, mine is still delayed even with the push notification fixer installed and WiFi heartbeat at 5min. Even after I've just rebooted my Touchpad, actively using it, and not even 5 minutes has passed. Delay was 8 minutes and then the notifications came streaming in.
With Android/KitKat, do you have to have the app open in the background for push notifications to go thru? Or run the app at least once after a reboot?
Here are some bugs/missing items I have noticed in the new 23A update
1. Google cast is present but located under miracist. it is extremely laggy and disonnects while casting a video
2. No "users" option unlike in other varients version of lollipop.( figures Verizon would take out features)
Could just be me too but auto sync doesn't seem to be working for gmail or hangouts. Opening app and manually syncing each one brings a plethora of missed stuff.
no issues with syncing here

That has happened occasionally under other Android versions. Try deleting your Google account from the phone and re-adding it.

I have not noticed that issue. I have disconnected a few times without having to toggle airplane mode.
Anyone else having an issue with Bluetooth audio? Pandora over Bluetooth starts to stutter like it needs to cache the song but never catches up. only happens via Bluetooth.
so after a few days of running this i went back to kitkat....seems to have the memory drain issue as previously stated.....random hangup and freezing up....wasnt getting my notifications from my vivint alarm. so back to kitkat till the official release comes

No data issues after switching off Wi-Fi here either.
Been running for half a day. No major issues. No problems with wifi/data, bluetooth, or sync. Battery usage appears a bit higher than usual at this point.
Edit: After 2 days I experienced the data loss issue. Had to switch to airplane and back to get data working again. Battery life has improved.
I'm getting some pretty serious lag in Chrome when running off of WiFi (but not on LTE). Not sure what's going on there. Tried clearing data on Chrome. No luck.

Just for fun you could always try this...
In the address bar type 'chrome://flags', then scroll down, find SPDY/4 and enable it. SPDY/4, is the HTTP/2 standard and could help with loading of certain pages!
Edit- would like to apologize, didn't mean to derail this thread...sorry

Same exact issue here. Only on wifi. Seems to affect several google apps only. Notice that g-mail sync is delayed, playstore loads slow, G+ loads images slow. All only on wifi. Turn off wifi, its normal. I welcome the conspiracy theories....I know I have them!
*edit* for chrome, switch to the beta. Big difference.
I'm having problems with some 3d games textures in some games.
Looney Toons Dash! is the the worst offender. Obstacles and even the ground, disappears.
I am experiencing issues with Google Now. Opening the app it tells me can not connect to network this is on Wi-Fi and LTE. I unistalled the update and have the same issue.
This is all I have for now, only been 8 hours on LP.

No issues here with Google Now use it multiple times per day.
Maybe not a bug, but has anyone had issues with the Visual Voicemail App after their update to Lollipop? Mine just force closes every time i launch it. Tried clearing cache, uninstalling updates and disabling, re-enabling the app, using the upgraded APK posted in another thread, all leads to the same thing. Next step i'm thinking of doing a factory reset to see if maybe something got fubar'd during the upgrade process.

So this gets even weirder. I installed Chrome Beta, per your suggestion, and it didn't really make any noticable difference. But then, I get up this morning and piddle around with it, and it's all back to normal speed, seemingly on its own.
