Hey folks,
seems like my wifi is turning off or disconnecting from my AP while the screen is off
on Wifi Advanced Settings -> "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to "Always"
yet.. there are times that i get my notification only when i wake it up.. and suddenly the wifi icon is grey and then white and connected again
does any of you experience the same thing?
thanks

Only happens at night and on weekends. It's HTC junk. Custom roms address. Specifically the "disable smart sync" option in Viper.

I'm on Virtuous Rom and this happens from time to time. I wonder which system app controls smart sync. This way others could freeze it in TB.
I've had this app for a while now but still never tried it lol, but you could try and see if it works.

Wasn't there a setting that you could turn sleep on or off for Wifi? I've been away from HTC for a while and can't remember exactly where it's at..

Yes there is, but even with wifi on during sleep it will turn off from time to time.

There is, but it still will turn off at night to conserve battery.

I haven't tried this but it seems plausible it could work:

I just set up this up using the instructions in the OP of the thread above. Will monitor over the next couple of days and see how it goes.

I've used this app on a different sense 4 device and it worked great did everything it was supposed to do.
Haven't tried it on the DNA, just sharing that it worked on my other HTC device.

Doesn't work on the DNA, it just hangs when trying to execute. You have to manually enter the commands via terminal emulator or ADB.

Updated yesterday (12/21) and found that my phone battery was draining fast. Handset got very warm in my holster.
This morning I noticed that the display would never go blank unless forced by tapping the power button. It would dim but not blank out.
This problem did not exist prior to the OTA update.
Any ideas?
If your 100% stock and haven't done any mods to your phone, I would call up or go into an att store and tell em their sh**** update made your phone turn onto a hand warmer :-\

That's a good idea. Wished I still lived in Michigan. It would be a feature then.

OK. Kinda weird, but this is computer stuff.
Changed a bunch of wall papers back and forth. Reset default launcher (was Launcher Pro) to TouchWiz. No help. Randomly turned on/off various Display settings. No joy.
Let it sit for a while and all of sudden it started working OK in TouchWiz. Restarted Launcher Pro and still working. Set my favorite live wall paper and it is still working OK.
Oh weLL
Sweet. Weird indeed. Might have just had an app acting funky keeping screen awake. Anyway glad its working correctly!

I've changed it around several times to no avail. Then it started working for some reason. Oh well.
I am having this same issue. I pulled the battery and it worked for two days and acted up again. I rebooted the phone and now its working again. Very annoying.... also noticed after ota update.
Has to be some kind of app that prevents the display from turning off. Try searching through your app list and see which apps have those permissions.
I know they turn on in low light but is there a way to keep them from turning off while in bright light??
many times I have wished they were lit so I can see them
I have been looking for the same thing!

Put a small, removable sticker over the light sensor on the top of your Rezound?
You can always get them to our come on, on demand, by placing your thumb or finger over the light sensor.

The ineffibilis gingerbread rom has the option to keep the lights on. ICS roms have them on all the time I think.
There's an app called keyboard backlight. It lets you keep them off or on all the time

well I'm not rooted so the only fix I see above is the "tape" fix or the "cover censor if you need to see them" fix.

Thanks for posting that, that app works perfectly.
I was using the mik tweaks in the inneffabilis ROM for this, but you have to reselect it every time you restart.

Not the ics rom I am running. Desensed 3.8 and lights are currently off as I type this in the bright lobby of pennstation.

Blocking the sensor works, but...
I just tried putting a small piece of tape over the sensor and found that it works. The red buttons always stay on regardless of the ambient light conditions, however, during a call the screen will no longer go dark so that your ear, cheek, etc are no longer prevented from inadvertently clicking on anything. Obviously the sensor has a double duty.

Why would you want to do this though? I'm not trying to bash but that's gotta be a battery killer.

Father insisted that he get the same phone as me and he has never had a smart phone. I tell him to hit the "back" or "menu" button and he cant find them... heck in the day I have to guess where their at.

Sounds like a great app but just an FYI for the masses in case they missed it... it requires root. May be obvious but I thought I'd mention it. I'm not rooted so... :-(

Just so we're clear, this setting is broken, right? Mine still turns off WiFi after a little while of the screen being off. I remember reading a few weeks back that others were having a similar problem.

I downloaded it. Not sure what some of those settings are though...
Actually there is a fix for this issue, but it requires some apk editing at the moment. Hopefully a flashable zip will be released shortly.

Hopefully it will get patched yes it's an issue. I'm not rooted at the moment, doesn't seem to affect battery very much if at all but still if it's set to stay on it should just stay on.
Is anyone else's wifi turning off with the screen off even though that setting has not been enabled?
I am missing notifications because of it.
I have had this issue on both stock and custom Roms.
Would love suggestions on a solution. The my s2 never has this issue.
Thanks

I'm concerned about no more deep sleep. On my s2, wifi notifications would still be received even in deep sleep. This app may burn the battery fast.

Edit:
FIrst off, I will say that I have ALWAYS had the box unticked which said "Data Connection: put to sleep when screen is off"
I have now for the past few hours experimented with ticking it. Wifi does not appear to be going to sleep with this option ticked
I am a native English speaker, and I must say that the way this is not written clearly. What it must mean is it puts the phone modem to sleep with the screen off but not the wifi. So therefore, when the box is unticked the phone modem must have priority (a guess)
HTC have really made this option unclear. I will continue to tick the box and report back if there are any more issues but this counter-intuitive box appears to be working.
Never mind, I still have the problem.
Wifi still turns off with screen constantly whether the box is ticked or not.
Anyone else?
