this is a normal thing
it does so to save battery
even if u lock ur phone for 5 mins it disconnects
u can change it by editing buildprop i guess or maybe some tweaks
even though it doesnt say it would work for the dna and it says roort required this apk seems to work for wifi http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34821894

Can someone please help me on this ,i hardly use the the phone for browsing but when i check my phone i can see that the mobile web is connected even though the phone is locked and not in use (standby mode) ,i keep turning the data connection off but it keeps on turning itself back on .
1) Am i getting charged for this as it's connected to the web,i am on payg ?
2) Is there a way to dissable this until i want to turn it on manualy for browsing ?
Same with me, I would like to permanntly turn off data connection but it will always turn itserlf back on, chances are that if you are on pay as you go then you are being charged for it.
I would like you know if there is a way to actually turn off data connection since I'm going on holiday soon and don't want to come back to a huge phone bill cause my phone kept turning data on
in the UK data plans are generaly pay per byte, not time connected, so unless there is actual traffic you arent paying anything. Of course, teh fact that an app is making a connection means something is using data, though not necessarily constantly; the hd2 seems to have an inability to disconnect itself.
I use Dialup Enabler/Disabler
The auto disconnect can be a little hit and miss, (you have to leave it running for the timeout to work) however the on/off toggles work a treat. Once a data connection is disabled, it stays disabled.
Cheers for the link ,but reading through the posts it is not very usefull and only works sometimes, as you mentioned it is hit or miss ,is there anything else about ,i have done lots of searching but cant find anything else ?
yea the auto timeout is hit and miss, but the toggles work flawlessly, and you say you want to be able to turn it off till you want it back on, , which works fine.
Ive been using it for 5 or 6 months, and never once has it failed. (I dont use the timeout function, only the on/off toggles)
First off, my Photon's wifi sleep policy is set to "never." I have recently noticed that I can never complete podcast downloads if I let the screen shut off. This is the case with 3 different podcast apps that I have been using (Pocket Casts, Dogg Catcher, BeyondPod).
This also prevents my phone from downloading episodes on a schedule (like when I am sleeping). Up until the past week or so I don't remember this ever being a problem. I used to wake up to all my podcasts already downloaded and ready to be listened to throughout the day; however schedules no longer work with any of the apps (I assume because my screen is off) and everything must be downloaded manually.
Does anyone have any ideas to be able to fix this? Please help! Thanks in advance!
Edit: I should clarify that I am using a Stock Rooted Photon 4G.
I have the same issue. Its frustrating because my photon doesn't have service and I use VOIP over WIFI mainly to save on minutes on my active phone while at home. So I miss calls when its not constantly connected to wifi.
To add to what shinedown87 said, I also have a rooted Photon with stock rom but I did notice this problem when i wasn't rooted. Actually now the phone only puts WIFI to sleep when its off the charger as before rooting it happen regardless. I too have Wifi settings set to Never turn off.
Wifi keep alive app in the market.

Someone started a thread a while back on this, but I wanted to start my own hoping that this issue may get a little more attention, and keep a detailed thread for future use. I love this phone, but this is the one significant issue that I have.
I spend most of my day and evening on wifi since I have it available at work and home. I've noticed since day one that I wasn't getting my notifications on time specifically in Gtalk, and still exists to this day after the latest 2.13 OTA update. When I hear my phone get a notification, I will check it, and the notification has a timestamp in the notification drop down, so I know I got it just then, but then in gtalk the timestamp on my message is several minutes earlier. I have seen it as much as 45 minutes late. It is very noticeable whenever I turn on the screen that instantly I get a notification. The issue exists with all push notifications. Gmail notifications will arrive late as well as exchange notifications. I've seen reports about it happening with WhatsApp messenger. It has been theorized on other forums that the wifi radio goes too deep into sleep for the notification to wake the phone up.
My wifi policy is set to stay on always. I've tried factory resetting. I know that the wifi stays connected while it is sleeping and is not disconnecting. I've tried multiple wireless networks. I've tried 2.4ghz vs 5ghz. It has nothing to do with smart sync disabling data as this is happening during the day and not between the hours of 12am and 7am.
I have done a lot of searching on Google about this issue, and I've determined that it is an issue with the entire line of HTC One series phones. People have reported this issue on the One X (International and ATT), the One S, Incredible 4g, and of course many other reports on the Evo LTE.
I have compiled many of these reports in a thread I opened on HTCs support forum site here: http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/222/p/15183/62995.aspx#62995
Please feel free to test this yourself. Connect to wifi, turn your screen off, send yourself a gtalk message from a separate account. If it comes in on time, wait about a minute and try again. If it doesn't come in, wait as long as you can stand or just turn the screen on, and see your notification come in. I tested this on a friend's Evo LTE who insisted he wasn't having the issue, and I was able to duplicate this. It seems that most people must not use wifi as much as I do, and maybe just haven't noticed.
Current solutions / workarounds:
Turn on Best Wifi Performance in the advanced wifi settings - kills battery
The best solution that someone found on another forum was to use an app called REGPON Wifi KeepAlive. It is an app that puts a partial wakelock on the phone in order to keep it from going into deep sleep. Check both boxes included in the app. The first starts the process, and the second will turn it off when wifi is disconnected. This doesn't have a huge effect on battery as I thought it would since it is putting a wakelock on the phone. I actually get very good battery life still, and can last through the day with heavy usage. It's nowhere near the significant drain that you get with the Best Wifi Performance option.
What if you set wifi to sleep when the screen goes off?

That could be considered a workaround, and I have tried it, but wifi doesn't go to sleep until after several minutes after you turn the screen off when you use that setting. Then of course mobile data kicks in and notifications come in on time.
Ok so here is my situation.. when I am at home on wifi.. (the only place i consistently use wifi..) and my phone is in standby the process com.google.android.gsf.login is keeping my phone awake a lot... I am not complaining about battery life on this phone as a whole as it's really good.. but oddly enough for me, I get worse battery life (when it comes to standby) when on wifi... For example just yesterday I got like 19 hours and 2 hrs 15mins screen on time and about an hour of music streaming (screen off) all on 4g.. and when i looked at my battery stats the awake time and screen on times were essentially identical (other than the music streaming) but today I have been testing some at home with wifi on and off.. I have attached a picture of my battery graph.. when on wifi I have lots of wake locks that don't correspond with actual usage.. but when on mobile data those wake locks are gone..
I understand that it's an app that is doing the draining my only question is why is doing it on wifi only..
In the attached screenshot no settings were changed except for toggling wifi.. to see the difference..
My next idea is to try and get on wifi somewhere else and see if I have some weird anomaly with my wireless network at home...
anyone care to chime in?
Just an update the last 45 mins on 4g.. little wake time not associated with screen on... This has me perplexed..
Well.. I can't get the screenshot to attach but... Les than 2 mins of wake time in 40 mins on 4g at home on wifi I had like 7 mins in 25 mins on wifi..

I know that the kernel for our processor has a patch to fix wakelock problems that are draining the battery, but the manufacturers have not pushed an update. Elkay is currently working on a kernel to resolve this problem, check the Original Development subforum. Battery life is significantly improved. I'm currently using DSB'S overclock kernel which has been troublesome for most people, but the battery life has been great and I'm fortunate to have almost no problems with it.
I am on elkay's kernel... Those screenshotss were while using his kernel.. according to him moat of those issues addressed are specific to mobile data standby time.. and my mobile data standby time is actually really good..
The issues only happen when I am on wifi.., and the only WiFi I have tested is my home network..
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I get the same issue as you. I actually just mentioned it in elkay's thread. I've been getting wakelocks like that on every kernel so I don't think it's just strictly his kernel that's causing problemos.
Possible Solutions ...
1) Your home wifi has some ports blocked or proxy in effect which is causing some Google Service to be unreachable when on wifi and hence causing the wakelock
2) One of the Google Account Services is set to update over wifi only and again its unreachable over your wifi, hence the wakelock
3) Disable Gtalk/G+ if you dont use them and reboot
4) Try a different wifi network, if you dont have the wakelock, then its your home wifi router config causing issues

I am wondering if it's solution #1.. i don't have another wifi network to test on though.. i guess i could go hang out at starbucks or somewhere like that.. and see.. although with LTE (and unl. data) my I don't really "need" to be on wifi at home other than a couple apps that let me control stuff at home when on the same network.. (DirecTV, Onkyo, Shares Finder..)
I debloated the ROM I am on and Gtalk and G+ were removed since i don't use them..
I don't think I have any Google account services set to update over wifi only I have gone through the settings a couple times looking for stuff like that... that is why I am thinking it possibly has something to do with my network.. I will keep researching and if I find some solution I will update for the communities sake..
Very similar issue here, although it seems random. Just the hour day I had 13 hours on with 8 hours kept awake and 1 hour screen time.

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy A3(2017). This is an unattended phone with teamviewer host installed. I want to get to this phone at any times, but I seem to be unable to connect to phone after about 5-6 hours (or one night sleep).
I have tried install an app called HSPA+ tweaked and this fixes the problem, but it eats up my battery really fast. It sends ping request every 5 sec or so.
Is there any other way to keep my 3g/4g from going into sleep? I have tried different programs that stops phone from sleep, but mobile data (3g/4g) will still sleep after 5-6 hours unattended.
Please any help is appreciated.
Thanx

Did you tried connection stabilizer booster?

Seems able to keep a data connetion alive as you need, by using "Keep Alive" and "Reconnector".
Let us know if works.
EDIT: under the settings tab for "Keep Alive" you can also set the timeout for the ping command: by default is set to 5 seconds but you can increase this value.
This app did not work at all. Active keep alive is suppose to work, but it doesn't. It will stop sending ping quite fast. I tried to set it to ping every minute. After 15 minutes it stopped. No error in logs. active reconnect needs root access. I don't have that now. I tried to root, but I almost bricked my device.
