WiFi issue - WiFi doesn't work after sleep / screen goes blank - Remix OS for PC

I have Remix OS installed in dual boot with Windows.
Aside from the encryption not working (see my other posts), I have one other issue.
All the hardware works very well, including the WiFi. I can use it for reasonable periods / stream Netflix films etc.... but once the screen goes blank / it goes into standby the WiFi can't see any networks once it wakes up.
Is this a known issue - is there a workaround? or fix?
I am using a Cube i7 Book (skylake) if that makes a difference.
All the best,
Dan

Bump - in the absence of a solution - any trouble shooting advice would be greatly appreciated.

Screen Flashing on/off when suspended

All,
Seem to have an issue w/ my Folio. On TNT Mod .4, dexter 1.3D and the new Notion Ink .1 mod, my screen continues to flash when in standby. Whenever I push it to standby, every 5 minutes or so the screen will turn on, does anyone have any thoughts?
Also - the sound doesn't work at all, has anyone else had that issue?
Thanks.
It's a known issue...
All Folio users have this bug...
At the moment you can fix it only by changing the Wireless-Standby-rules to "never" + keeping WLAN (take a widget) always on. Then your Folio is sleeping very well without waking up all few minutes.
Thanks so much !! I didn'nt thought it was so simple, i tried everything before ! I used Keep Wifi Service app. Works fine now.

[Q] How to keep networking on?

I would like my gtablet to remain able to establish ssh connections
after the display turns off.
It appears even if I set the wifi preference to never go to sleep, once
the display turns off I cannot either ping or ssh into my gtablet?
So, I wonder if there is a way to do this.
(By the way, I assume that the wifi has power saving implemented
so just sitting around will actually not use much battery.)
I've noticed that when the screen goes off, adb even loses the tablet until you turn the screen back on. But I am having the same issues with Wifi, and setting it to never sleep in addition to installing a keep alive app doesn't seem to do much good. When the screen goes off for a couple of minutes, all connections seem to be lost.
It would be nice if there was some sort of solution to this.
yes, I can't get wifi to stay on. Basically, I want the tablet to stay
on but the screen to blank.
This is more important now that I have rsync installed and could
do automated data transfers or backups at scheduled times.
I am running Vegan 5.1.1 and am wondering this too, is it a vegan problem or gtab? Is there a dev that can make a kernal to stop this?
I am on a TnT ROM using Clemsyn's kernel, and I get the same problem, so it might be a device issue.
I'm trying out an app called Wifi Fixer -- free from the Marketplace (though I'll get the .99 cent donate version if this works). I left the tab display off and untouched for about 10 minutes just now, and wifi was still connected when I turned it back on. I'll let it sit for about 1/2 hour and see if it still works. If so, we might have a winner
In TNT (Lite), try Settings -- wireless -- Wi-Fi Settings -- Advanced Settings -- Wi-Fi Sleep Policy
wifi sleep policy is set so -- supposedly -- wifi never sleeps, but that did
not work for me (wifi was shut down when tablet goes to sleep - I wonder
what controls that - I would want display and system to have separate
sleep control ...)
But I found an app in market, wifi keepalive that seems to be working.
My tablet just turned off the display and I can still ssh, ping and rsync
successfully.
Maybe that is the solution.
I wonder how much power this will draw?
(I have a nokia n810 "mini-tablet" and even with wifi on (power saving
mode enabled) battery consumption is pretty minimal if wifi is not
actually in use. Does android use power saving mode in wifi?)
Well, I already had it set to never sleep. The Wifi Fixer seems to work though -- I let it sit for about 1/2 hour, and when I flipped it back on, the wifi was still connected.
Edit: Nevermind, that didn't work either. Sucks, I love this tablet, but if it's a dead fish when the screen is off for a few minutes, it's lost a good deal of usefulness to me.

That was the one I was using initially, but while it wouldn't drop the wifi connection upon turning off the screen, it would eventually drop it -- when I woke the tab back up, I'd have the wifi lost icon for a few seconds.

yep, it looks like that happened here too ... maybe some other
app is resetting this; it lost my connection after a radiotime
app was playing for about half an hour with screen off
I hear that ubuntu might run on this - it would be great to
have a **real** operating system to fiddle with

[Q] Display garbled, flickering and shaky

After watching a movie for about an hour, apart from top-left part on the backside becoming quite warm, the display is garbled, flickering and shaky (like olden days overhead projectors used to do after they were used for a few hours).
Applications seem to be working fine. But, reading the screen is nearly impossible because of high flicker.
Has any one experienced this problem? Is there a solution?
I hope it is a temporary problem and will go away with power cycle, hard reset, etc.,
So far, I have faced five problems with Galaxy Tab 10.1 (16GB, WiFi)
Display garbled, flickering and shaky
DHCP causes loss of Internet connectivity after WiFi router reset because it didn't get same IP address. Had to configure static IP address
newton rings, oil slick on the screen
glass protruding on the bottom left
dirty gum on one of the sides
Has anyone faced this problem? Any suggestions for a fix or work-around?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1280975 seems to be related to some extent -- heat.
The problem appears to be permanent Just after 15 minutes of normal browsing, it happened again.
It is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB WiFi upgraded to Samsung's official TouchWiz firmware.
Some settings:
1. No animations
2. Rosemary font
3. Screen in Standard mode
4. Default applications
Any suggestion for a fix or work-around is highly appreciated.

[Q] YouTube App Dumping Buffer After Screen Turns Off

Edit: The issue appears to be present system wide. Any streaming video (not sure if audio streams are affected, I'll assume they are and generalize to all streams) that has been buffered will be dumped when the screen is turned off on the device.
Reproducible by buffering any video for any duration then locking/turning off the screen. The buffered video will be dumped leaving you waiting for it to buffer the same data yet again.
Any idea how to circumvent this aside from never letting the screen timeout? I'm using mobile data most of the time and it's down right infuriating when I'm constantly downloading the same data again and again running up my bill due to this issue.
Device: Verizon Galaxy Note 2 (sch-i605)
ROM: Sophisticated 3 (4.3) with included kernel
(Am I missing important details? Let me know! This is my first post here)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Q] Strange GPS behaviour on Huawei Ascend Y550

Hi all,
this is my very first post here on xda, so please forgive me if this is not the proper section for my thread. I searched for other thread about similar issues, but I didn't find anyone. I'm Italian, so I even hope to not being wrong in English writing.
I recently bought (on November 2014) an Huawei Ascend Y550-L01 (Android 4.4.4, EMUI 2.3, ROM B137), coming from a (Portuguese) Samsung Galaxy Y Pro GT-B5512. Soon I experienced a very strange GPS behaviour: GPS turns itself off. No problem in signal fixing, nor in quality or precision. It simply deactivates.
First I noticed this using the OruxMaps app (which works fine on many phones, even my old one), simply recording the track. Indeed, at the beginning the app was being killed (because of the integrated task-killer) when screen was off, but after setting it as a "protected" app, when I record a track, GPS works while screen is on and, if screen turns off, then most of the times (not always) GPS is deactivated from within Android settings.
I even received (from the purchasing time) some GPS errors while in the home screen... I don't remember exactly that error, but in a fast Internet search it was told being caused from the weather widget, precisely from the "actual position" setting. I deactivated it and added manually my town and those errors were gone.
Then I noted another strange behaviour: GPS turns off even in standby, during night. It is on "extreme precision" on evening and it's off at morning. Sometimes I notice these deactivation (in the notification menu or into the energy saving widget) while I'm using the phone (but always when screens is off), without any error or message popping out... It simply gets deactivated.
Any other experiencing this strange issue? What could be the cause? I sent a mail to official support, but they asked me to take the phone in a service point... I can't stay without phone, so I would like to avoid this if it's not strictly needed.
I think it's a ROM issue (said that even in the mail), but unfortunately still there is no alternative one (or at least I found none). I think also that (almost) every app that uses GPS suffers for the same behaviour I faced using OruxMaps.
PS: phone IS rooted by a couple of week, but I'm facing this issue from the first day.
What the hell is going on? Any help, idea or trying suggestion is appreciated...
Many thanks!
Up?
I also see strange problems on the Y550-L01 connected to GPS.
In my case the GPS does not disconnect completely, but during car navigation the signal gets lost from time to time (tested with different navigation apps).
This is only the case when the Y550 is NOT connected to the charger. If I connect it to the power supply, GPS works quite reliable and accurate!
For me this sounds like a software problem (maybe connected to a power saving mode?). I hope a firmware update will fix this soon.
Even to me this is a firmware issue. Before of your answer, I was really beginning to think it's a fault of my phone. Now that I'm not the only one, I went back to think of a bug.
If it is a power save problem, then try to use this app to stop the power save mode :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl
(ultra light : 35K, free/no adds)
"Wake Lock gives you control over the Android Power- and WifiManager.
For example, you can force the PowerManager to keep the screen on or have the CPU still running in standby mode or make sure the Wifi connection keeps running at full performance.
You can use it on any android phone or tablet.
Use it to keep the screen on in full brightness or dimmed mode during movies or slideshows.
To make sure the CPU is still running in the background doing your tasks when you press the standby button."
Thank you for the report.
It seems that the new huaweï G620S has the same GPS problem :

Any news of an Huaweï update ? Hope yes...

Hi! Better post your question in our small Huawei Ascend Y550 thread. Maybe there someone of us can help.
If you understand German:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/huawei-...gation-unzuverlaessig-nur-im-akkubetrieb.html
These folks have the same proplem, but no solution.
Try it while a charger is attached.
