Ever since I installed Viber app my Wi-Fi wan't turning off when in sleep mode. After I force stopped the application it wen't back to normal.
My phone consumes a lot of power, when Wi-Fi is on. About 2-3% per hour. It's kind of what it should do, yeah, because You can make calls on it.
Is there a way to disable the calling function so that it would only periodically check for only messages, as I have a free-talk on all operators available in my country, and I don't use the calling function on the app obviously.
Doesn't seem to be problem with Mobile Data, as the download size is significantly lower.
Change the WiFi sleep policy in Viber settings.

Well thanks for the help.

I have a profile that will turn off wifi after one minute if
display off context is true (Wif-Off).
I also have another profile that turns on the wifi if the following
contexts are met (Wifi-On):
1. Location is near home
2. Day is Fri, Sat, Sun
3. Time is 7am - 11:30pm
I created a task (Wifi Turn On).
When I first run the Wifi-On profile I see it as active my
notification bar and wifi is turned on. Once my phone screen is turned off I
assume the Wifi-Off profile becomes active and turns off wifi.
However, when I turn on the phone again, wifi does not turn back on?
Why? Does it not turn back on because the context has not changed
thereby not causing the profile to go through the Wifi Turn On task? I tried adding a display on context to the Wifi-On profile hoping it would make the profile run the Wifi Turn On task but adding this context prevents the profile from ever becoming active for whatever reason.
Is there I can make these two profiles co-exist? I would like to keep wifi turned off whenever not is use to save battery.
Did you add an exit task to the Wifi Off profile? So that when the screen comes on, wifi is enabled...

Thank you for the reply. The problem with adding an exit task to Wifi Off profile is that I dont want wifi to turn on all the time, which is why I created the Wifi On profile. I only want wifi on during certain times and days and while I near my home. For example, I dont want wifi to turn on while I am at work.
How about Keeping your wifi on profile, and setting your wifi sleep policy under advanced wifi settings, to turn off when screen is off. Then just set up an exit task to turn wifi off when your "on" criteria is not met.
Honestly though I think it saves battery to just keep wifi on, even when screen turns off, so your phone is not constantly checking for cell signal.
Using the "cell near" context won't use much extra battery I don't think? I use it for my location based profiles.

Yes you are right about that. However I am referring to when he is actually connected to wifi, I've read it actually saves battery to just let it stay connected rather than turn off and on again depending on screen state.

Nice article..however I think in my case it makes more sense to turn off wifi when the screen turns off. Even at home, my phone spends much more time off than it does on. I also have my phone to not sync emails, data, etc only on demand. So I think for me, it save battery to turn off wifi when the screen turns off. However, that is still good information.
In that case the wifi sleep policy should work for what you want.

So whats the difference between turning off wifi and having wifi go to sleep?
EDIT: forget it...did a little google search...so wifi sleep and off are the same thing.
Hi everybody.
I just bought a Samsung S3 but I have a problem..
Every time I put my phone in standby, after 5-10 minutes the phone stops getting push notifications (fb, whatsup). I need to turn it on and after that everything's fine..
I tried do update to android revolution hd 17.1 but I still get this problem..
I've already tried to set Wi-Fi to always off, checked all notification setting but to no avail..
Is there a way to receive internet messages without turning on the phone every 5 minutes?

Their is a refresh setting of almost every internet app, try to change those. And check whether Do Not Disturb option in the notification panel is not on.
Hit Thanks if this helped.
Disable smart alert in 'motion' and that should fix it
Especially if you have a broken/malfunctioning proximity sensor

No I didn't.
I even did a hard reset 2 days ago. The only apps I have right now are whatapp and fb messanger
I just tried to uncheck "smart alert" but the problem persists.
Okay wait, when you say 'standby mode', you just mean you're locking it, right?
Assuming that the answer to my previous question is 'yes', tell me, when you turn your screen back on do you get a little notification on the bottom of the screen that says "You are now connected to (whatever your WiFi is called)" ?
He still doesn't receive texts I believe so this is not having the WiFi set to turn off at lock

My issue only occurs when in 3G. It seem the phone disconnects from 3g line when in deep sleep.
I've already tried to use different sims of different operators getting the same behaviour
If I connect my s3 to a wifi spot it always gets notifications instantly
I have never been able to figure this out and it has been pissing me off. For some reason when I have Wi-Fi on I have a massive amount of wakelocks. With Wi-Fi off I did not. This has led me to try to disable Wi-Fi in sleep mode. I have it set to NEVER.
Even though it is set to NEVER, Wi-Fi but will active when I have a wakelock. It just reactivates itself even though I have it set not to do so. It reactivates and then my phone wakes up.
So is there any way to log what app is using Wi-Fi and waking up my phone all the time? I don't know why Wi-Fi won't sleep with my phone.
If you are rooted try BetterBatteryStats, otherwise it will be hard to find the reason for the wakelocks.

Thanks. I have been using that. But I can't narrow down what is using my wifi. I even turn off location services.
This only happens because of wifi. Some services or apps are waking the phone up like crazy because they know Wifi is available. But if Wifi is off the phone doesn't wake up as much.

did you check what apps do syncs for data? maybe you can check the period & wakelocks in betterbatterystats when wifi is turned on, the apps should show up or not?
What Router do you have?
Many times, the fault lies with your router.
Try changing Beacon interval and DTIM interval.
Can we have the specific name of the wakelock please?
When Wi-fi is enabled &device is idle/sleep, not getting emails & chat notifications
Hello Team,
I bought New S5 T-mobile Version. When my Wifi is enabled and the device is sleep or idle, emails, facebook, whatsapp and other notifications are not coming. I sent a test email from another device and whatsapp message from my friends device. I did not got any notification when my phone was idle. Once I press the home button or power button and unlock my device, immediately all the notifications are coming. I am not facing this when my mobile data is active. This happens only in Wifi. Tried in couple of wifi networks and the result is same.
After reading some blogs and forums, just typed *#0011# and made Wifi power saving mode off. But no use. Also changed the connection to Static mode and no use.
Request any one of you to help me.
Regards,
Muthu
Did you check Wifi always on in settings?

Did you? Wifi never sleep? Do you use Wifi calling? TMO has a reported issue that seems to be hit or miss with WIFI and SMS, and or MMS. Google it for more info.

Try using an alternate messaging app....I've used Chomp in the past and it seemed to work okay. Also, if you aren't rooted, you can do a phone reset. I'd try the other app first. One more thing, go into the stock messenger settings and restore all defaults. Hope something helps bro!
So whenever I left wifi area or turn off the wifi soon after the mobile data gets automatically turned off, the icon of it shows not just for specific app.
Even when I turn off the data saver, it doesnt help.
This is very bothersome as I will miss alot of stuff.

Anyone experiencing or heard such problem with Huawei Phone? Need help.
Are you talking about missing notifications?
If you enable Developer Options (settings/system/about phone...then press build number 5 times) then in Developer Options there is an option you can tick to always keep mobile data active. I use it for faster network switching and it doesn't have much of an impact on data use or battery drain.
But if you are talking about missing notifications that might not solve your problem.
You want to remove any apps that need timely notifications from battery optomization in the power settings. Make sure after you choose to manually manage the apps that they are allowed to run at startup and remain running in the background. (All 3 options should be allowed).
If that doesn't solve your problem then you might also need to remove Google Play Services from automatic power management since that service is normally responsible for syncing Android phones.
Huawei has more aggressive power management than most Android phones which provides great battery life but also annoys many people because they can miss important notifications.

No, the entire data just cut off after leaving wifi even thou the mobile data was on prior to leaving the wifi spots or just turning off the wifi. Does that make sense? I have had so many different phone this has never happend to me. I even turn off the data saver mode too.

If I turn that option on in dev mode "always leave the mobile data on" even when the wifi is on (even when wlan is active) does that mean it may sometimes suck up my mobile data while wifi is on, i dont want that.

Ok after tons of digging found the problem. a function i have never seen on previous phones.
basically you go to mobile data setting and go to more and then (wlan/mobile switcher) go in there and thats where the problem is.
I now select switch to mobile data.

I don't see that setting. Does this fix the fact that when you use hotpsot the phone is incapable of any data? I can't use hotspot at the same time as data on the phone itself.
