Im new to the M4 from a note 3
I used to use an app called green power to turn off wifi and data when my screen was off and it would turn back on when my screen came on
This saved battery and data usage
I could see the wifi and data getting enabled when my screen would turn on
On the M4 under Power management-stamina mode it says data and wifi will be disabled when screen is off
From what I found it says
It achieves this by blocking data traffic a minute after the handset is placed on standby. Whilst doing this the phone automatically logs your IP address, meaning you are instantly connected once the phone is powered on again.
Is it normal I still see the wifi and data icons as soon as the screen is on with no delay?I figured wifi would be turned completely off as well as data when screen is on so it may take a sec r 2 fr th wifi to reconnect thus I would see nothing then H as 3G would kick in or LTE then Wifi would kick in
Wifi icon is always showing as well as data icon
Can anyone confirm what occurs with their phone with this option on? Is wifi/3G icons still on?
Just want to know if this is normal behavior or if my data is still getting used

I tried to enable this feature in KaiserTweak and although it says the wifi is still on, it often cuts out and then does not function properly until I do a soft reset. Does anyone have a solution for keeping the wifi on during standby that works a little better?
Thanks!

Pocket Toolman has that feature and it works.
I tried it and it appeared to be working for awhile but I've noticed that if I press the power button to put the phone into the standby when I resume the wifi says it is still connected but is in fact no longer functioning. All my internet-enabled applications disconnect and the browser doesn't work. Even when I move out of range of my access point the same access points remain in the available networks list. If I turn my wifi on and off and try to connect to another access point it never connects and an error pops up saying so. The wifi doesn't work until I do a soft reset.
If I do NOT enable the option to keep wifi active during sleep then all my internet-enabled apps disconnect when the phone is put in standby but the wifi continues to work properly when I resume the phone from standby...
I am running phoneAlarm. Could this cause some issues with it?
My current profile is set as "Do not change" for wifi though so I wouldn't think it would cause any issues...
Data connection automatically turns off that's what happens every night to my rooted brazilian 2.1 X10a when I look at phone at abou 10pm at night my data connection is off... During the day it stays at H but at night my nightmare begins as it automatically turns off and I have to uncheck and check the allow data transfer box in the wireless network menu and the same happens to my wifi connection despite the never turns off option is activated ... Anybody else facing the same ???

sorry for my poor english
I have a xperia u no brand no root or anything. I found out that when the phone is connected through wifi - my own domestic line - and goes to deep sleep, after a while - i cannot be more precise since it is never the same amount of time - it loses the connection. It appears to be still connected, since the wifi symbol is still displayed, but cannot receive or send any data. I therefore have to turn off wifi, wait for a couple of minutes, and turn it on again. During this "wifi-sleep" the phone is not aware that is not getting any data, so it won't let 3g take over. I've tried many solutions - change wifi channel, change wifi beacon - but nothing seems to work. Of course I've already set the phone not to drop connection when standby in the wifi menu. the only trick that seems to work is to use apps such as regpon wifi that keep the connection artificially "awake", but this is definitely not a solution since battery drain skyrockets.
thank you in advance
My wife has a stock G3 and for months we've exceeded our data allocation because her phone will automatically and seemingly randomly switch to mobile data even though WiFi is turned on and she's home. Turning off WiFi and back on again will show that our home WiFi network is saved, but won't connect. Turning on airplane mode and back off again will get the WiFi to reconnect, but that's not something my wife will remember to check and these data overages are getting ridiculous. Is this a known bug, or should we try to get a replacement device?

Maybe check your apps? Some apps ask for permission to turn on and off Wi-Fi to save battery or when your phone percentage goes down to a certain level. Of not that, then get a replacement. This doesn't happen to me

Did she accidentally save any other networks nearby or have you connected to them? I had a low signal WiFi saved at my house. I had to forget the network because it kept trying to switch networks, then dropping completely. When I only had the primary network saved, it suddenly was a strong and stable connection.
I noticed with other devices that they will drop connection when searching for networks and there are too many nearby open networks too.
My wifi doesn't automatically connect when a known wifi is in range unless and until I turn the screen on. Means when it's sleeping, it won't connect to any known wifi. If its already connected to a wifi network and if the screen is turned off after that, it stays connected. But lets say power goes off and wifi disconnects because of turning off of the router. When power comes back, and router is automatically switched on, the phone doesnt reconnect automatically when in standby. It connects immediately as soon as I switch on the display. Wifi scanning, keep wifi on during sleep and all those options are enabled. But it still doesnt automatically connect to any known wifi when in standby...I have to turn on the display for that.
Any solutions?
Same issue on lg g3 and xperia z2

I am having the same issue on my LG G3 d855 and Xperia Z2 with latest cm12.1 nightlies. When my phone's screen is off and I am connected to my home wifi. If I go out of my home and to a nearby friend's home. My phone does not automatically reconnect to my friend's wifi (which is known to my phone). If have to switch on my screen and wait a few seconds to reconnect.
