Wifi bug - Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i've the rom GingerDX 031c and I've noted a bug with wifi.
pratically, when the phone connected to a wifi and when I put it in standby, it lose the connection with the wifi, so, for example, if someone send me an important message on whatsapp I can't know, because is such as there isn't wifi.
anyone can fix this bug?
sorry for my bad english.

If u use scripts it happens especially performance scripts like pure performance... Scripts switch to data and close wifi when phone sleeps... Did not read the scripts yet, could look when i had time...

LooL.
1.Just Go to Wi-Fi settings
2.Click Menu (Left button) Of ace.
3.Click Advanced
4.Click on Wi-Fi Sleep Policy
5.And select 3rd option that is Never
This happens because usually By default Option selected for wifi is like when you turn off screen Your wifi gets disconnected automatically.This setting is for battery Conservation purpose.
So you have to manually change that default setting.So after this your wiFi will not turn Off though your screen is off.
Hope this helps you.
& I don't think it has anything to do with Scripts.

In stock my phones Wifi works even the phone go into sleep. But if i use Adrenaline, pure performance, vs... when phone enters screen saver Data opens Wifi closes!
I did not test on CM7 or AOSP or any system uses 2.3.7 but probably the same....

[APP] Potential fix for Sleep of Death

Mods: Please move this thread if needed. This app is specific to CM7, so I wasn't sure which section I should post it in.
Everyone else: If this has been addressed elsewhere, please let me know.
I am currently running CyanogenMod-7-09252011-NIGHTLY-encore with interactiveX scaling between 300MHz and 1300MHz (using SetCPU 2.1.1a and Nook Tweaks 1.4.3) on my NookColor (NC), and was experiencing at least one Sleep of Death (SoD) every day. I believe I have a solution to this problem, and it has helped me avoid SoD for the last two weeks.
* I installed Wake My Android Pro (free, but here is a mirror)
* I then set "Invisible Wake Every" to 9 minutes (longer durations seem to not help protect against SoD). Do not select "Auto StartUp" until you're sure the app doesn't mess around with the stability of your NC.
* Then, in Settings -> Display, I set Screen Timeout to 30 seconds.
This will wake up your NC for 30 seconds every 9 minutes. In conjunction with disabling WiFi when the screen is off (Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi settings, click Menu -> Advanced -> Wi-Fi sleep policy -> Never), I have not experienced a single SoD in the last two weeks.
As always, your mileage might vary, and this might render your NC inoperable. It has worked for me, however, so I thought I'd share this info with you. If you find this helpful, won't you please consider clicking the "Thank" button at the bottom of this post?
Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful day!
Or you could apply the kernel here instead?

A question:
Those of you who are using nook color and CM 7.1
Have you ever tried to disable mobile data?
In Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Uncheck "Data enabled".
I think the problem is that when the system tries to switch from Wi Fi to (non existing) mobile, it causes the sleep of death.
This solved the problem, at least for me!

thanks for the suggestion-- i'll try it, and report back.
--edit: had SOD when i woke up today.
the app doesn't help either- back to disabling wifi when the screen turns off.

Try this one.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl
Select PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK and then hit "Aquire"
Update: This application wouldn't help either. But clean install of 4.0.4 with related boot, recovery, etc. and OTA to 4.1.1 did the trick. And now with clean Android I have no any SOD for more than two weeks!
Only thing I disabled Google Media and Google Assistant.

[Q] Problem with the wifi

Hello,
I have a problem with my "galaxy ace" subsystem "android" Gingerbread.xwKS9 version 2.3.5.
Indeed, the wifi always disconnects after a few seconds or minutes and it randomly. (I set the wifi so when the phone switches, Wi-Fi activated, and when the screen turns off the wifi as well)
For information, I installed "TasKiller" and also "Android assistant" to free memory resource to start the phone but it makes no difference.
This problem is difficult and I have not found a solution so far to resolve it.
Do you have a solution to make me (change of ROM or other ...)
I do not use special software except:
- Apps Organizer
- Calengoo (1.0.56)
-Llama
- TasKiller
- The software includes basic mail
- Go pro sms
The phone is root.
(i think il will try too install CyanogenMod Android 2.3.5 on my Samsung Galaxy Ace to try to solve the problem ?)
Thanks for your answers.
Go to settings -> wireless and networks -> wi-fi settings -> press the left feather button of your phone -> tap on advanced -> wi-fi sleep policy -> change it to 'never'
Please press the thanks button if I helped you
I've already done this... but without succes.
My phone is now with CyanogenMod...
For the moment Wifi is ok and always on.
Thanks for your help.
Have you considered checking your wifi router? I had this problem before... and thought it was the Ace acting up.. but then it was my wifi really causing the problem...
The thing i notice with most android phones is that home setups don't work how they should. I always give my device a dedicated (static) IP and never had a problem since.
Thanks for your answers.
For th moment, my device stay in wifi...
I change my ROM with a CYANOGENMOD, i don't know if this ROM solve my problem.
If no, i will chek for my wifi router or to put a static IP...
Thanks
EDIT :
Il work well with cyanogenmod

[E10i] Stable wifi tethering - which ROM?

Hi, searching for stable wifi tethering ROM for my E10i. Using minicm7 (see sign.) and this option is a bit unstable -> working only when phone screen is on. When is disabled and locked, wifi tethering stops working.
Or does anyone know how to set up to work correctly?
EDIT: Searching for real stable and fast ROM, dont want to slow down my E10i
THANKS
wifi sleep policy

the teethering stops after the screen turns off because the default settings turn off the wifi after the screen is locked ( to save battery).
so go to settings and find the wifi sleep policy option. there you can change it to remain on even after the screen is turned off.
in reply to your other question-> minicm7 2.2.1 is the best rom out there ( at least thats my opinion).
Oh, man, thank you very much! Didnt know about this option, although I saw it months before. Now I have the right settings so dont need to change to different ROM
(minicm7 roxxxxs x) )
penthaler;
i am using X10 E10i and i flashed MiniCM7-2.0.7, now wifi is not working it just keeps operating not working ?
any solution ?

Reflashing maybe helps. And if you use custom kernel, it will be much better to flash latest one with MiniCM7-2.2.1

brother, I've flashed my rom via CWM, because i couldn't understand the ( unlocking bootloader + kernel flashing ) installing from sdcard was simple, so please help to flash your way :cyclops::crying::angel:
Gingerbread 2.3.5/CM7 was the rom and no kernel.

So, the same problem still remains. Searched and tested many different settings and still, after screen turned off, the wifi tethering stops working and all devices are disconnected.
And the best joke is, that there is NO wifi sleep policy option in phone settings (or I didnt find it there). Show me the way to that option please. THX
(the one I found was only "changing wifi to 3G")
THX
btw. when using wifi tethering in girlfriends Galaxy Ace, there is no problem and all working great (even when screen sleeps). She got stock ROM with root only - no special settings!
half solved - must be pluged on charger for all options!

Yeah, but it didnt work. Tested all three options and each working (including that NEVER) only when the screen is in standby or charger is plugged. When locked after half a minute wifi stops working - ALL OF THEM!
Any other advice or special option in cyanogenmod settings? Any patch or possibility to change some file in phone system?
It is great to have this feature everywhere "on-the-go", not only at home...
Stock Kernel
CWM Recovery
MiniCM6-1.0.2
App: Barnacle (rooted phone needed)
Wifi tethering works great (just WEP encryption, though)
App tethering not working - app starts, create AP, but cant connect to it with other devices... But thanks for advice to test it.
I'm using GingerDX | v029 never had problem using wifi/usb tethering :good:

WI-FI Optimisation issue

Hi, I noticed that in the advanced wifi settings is a setting for wifi optimisation which says it saves battery.
I am finding that when this setting is on, every time i am on a game i am getting messages says lost connection and my games having to reset or start again, when the setting is off this doesn't happen.
the option does actually seem to save a lot of battery i have found, but its a shame that i keep getting disconnects with it turned on
has anyone else found this?
thanks
James
"advanced wifi settings"?? - Where did you find those? Can't find them on my 4.2.2...
Am also experiencing very poor wifi reception...
Thanks

Phone disconnects from Wi-Fi in sleep mode

Greetings. I have a problem with my phone and Wi-Fi connection.
My phone is a Sony Xperia J running stock Android 4.1.2. When I leave it for a while in sleep mode, whether charging or not, it disconnects from my Wi-Fi connection and uses my phone's data, draining my data plan.
I need your help concerning this issue. Here are some of my phone's related settings:
Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep: Always.
Avoid poor connections: Unchecked.
Extended Standby Mode: Unchecked.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: Since then I've disabled my data plan so I can check if my phone is properly connecting to my Wi-Fi or not. It seems that yesterday I had no problem, but today I'm experiencing it. I don't know what should I do. :crying:

Did u use SIPdroid?
If yes uninstall it.
Sent from my OPO using CM14.1 <3
Also make sure that you don't have the battery saver mode on or another app that tries to save battery because they will often interfere and disable that for you as well.

Only other setting I can think of that controls that is in Developer Options. There's one that's aggressive hand off from wifi to cellular data and one for keep data on at all times. If you haven't enabled Developer Options yet then forget I mentioned it as it'll not be on by default.

I have Developer Options enabled and I don't see any of these options there.
Anyway, I think I have found the cause of the problem (a conflicting application, I just did a clean reinstall of it) and so far I'm good, if the problem persists I'll post again.
Thank you everyone who participated in this thread.
Glad to hear that it seems you found the cause. Please let us know what app in case someone else has the same issue and stumbles across your post.
Well, it was WhatsApp. Apparently I had a duplicate APK in my SD card (I use Link2SD) from before the factory reset. I say it was a duplicate because I unlinked WhatsApp from the SD card, but when I uninstalled it it said it was removing it from the SD card.
Thanks again!
