Hi,
I just bought a Sony Tablet S, amazing device. The only problem I'm having is that when the tablet is idle, or the screen shuts down, the WiFi gets disconnected and it doesn't reconnect untill I open the WiFi panel in the settings app.
Now before you guys jump to conclusions, yes, I changed the WiFi disconnect policy to "Never (uses more battery power)". That hasn't helped at all.
Any ideas? Is this just with Sony S or a generic Honeycomb thing? Tablet hasn't been rooted as yet.
Try Advanced Wifi Lock Free. It works well with my tablet.
This issue seems to be a bug in Tablet S. I hope they'll fix it in the ICS release
Yes, already discuss here...
You need to install a must have application...
Advanced Wifi Lock
https://market.android.com/details?...DEsIm9wb3RlY2guYWR2YW5jZWR3aWZpbG9ja2ZyZWUiXQ..
Worked
Thanks for the app recommendation. It's working...so far .
I bought my Tablet S 2 days ago.
Though I have heard of this issue before, my new tablet does not have this problem, maybe Sony has fixed the bug.
p.s. I changed the wifi disconnect setting to Never.
I started using wifi advanced lock a couple weeks ago and it works great! Much better than making sure the screen stays on during all your downloading
...Although I've noticed a massive change in battery life. Typically I was always getting 7-8 hours of screen on (gaming) time out of it, with up to an additional 24 hours of time with it on standby.
Now I got about 13 hours standby and 4.5 hours screen on time with wifi constantly on.
All I'm saying is to have a widget for turning on/off wifi quickly, and leave it off when it's not in use. I didn't think that wifi made THAT much of a difference..but apparently it does lol (and that was still without autosync on either)
I uninstalled that and use spare parts instead. Advanced wifi lock was horrid with my battery grrr
I think is normal, because if you put your tablet in standby is because you're not using them so why you need wifi on?
When you turn on again the wifi will reconnect auto again
WPS Wifi Lock
I had the same issue when connecting at my house, If you have a WPS enabled routter, connect to you access point using WPS. At keeps the signal locked.

Since tasker is designed to automate all of android, it is the go-to app for this issue, as well as others
Hi, i have a new Amazfit 2 Stratos with official international firmware US FW (2.3.2.7) and noticed cases where the battery would rapidly drain within hours, for example I would go to sleep with 60% battery and 6-7 hours later it would be on 5%...
I then noticed that if i reset the device, the rapid battery drain would stop, for example i noticed a rapid drain of 10 % an hour, so i reset the device and it stopped draining the battery...
Which made me think there is a stuck process or some firmware issue that keeps draining the battery, and I now reset my device every morning which makes it lasts days.
Anyone else noticing battery drain issues?
Having the same issue. What watch face are you using? I'm trying to narrow down the issue.
I've noticed the same after converting from Chinese to US. I'm thinking it might be caused by WiFi (or something using it) as it didn't start happening until I added my network.
...
try to install Task Manager and you can kill some processes which are maybe draining your battery. I use it as i have plenty of apps there.
I found the cause - the data sync. Each time you access the app on your phone, it syncs the data.
When you disable the wifi/data connection on your cell and access the app (while watch is paired), it tries to sync and fails. Problem is that it seems to be stuck in a loop until data connection is available and by then the battery depletes rapidly.
Solution - don't access the app while there is no connection in your phone to wifi/data.
Not sure if this is the only case when the watch syncs data - it might be syncing it automatically each day at a specific time - will post more info if i find out.
I also don't know if this bug is caused by the new firmware or not because i received the watch only last week and immediately updated to the new version based on the notification in the app.
It seems there is also a difference in battery use when using different watch faces. For example, I've observed that a watch face with no temperature will consume less battery than with a watch face with a temperature reading.
Anyone with similar experience?
I've bought an Amazfit Pace that sufered from same issue, te battery starts to drain all the way down in a couple of hours, so i returned it and decided to buy the Stratos, and guess what?
I have exact the same issue.
Tryed some things and i think the cause is related with smartphone bluetooth, in my case OnePlus 5T bluetooth.
If i desconnect smartphone bluethoot it stops draining, if i put it on again it starts draining again, if restart smartphone it stays good until it happen again next day or so.
Problem with battery discharge Amazfit 2
Hi, I also have a battery discharge problem. The watch battery will start to discharge quickly when I turn on the amazfit application on my phone. When the phone is restarted and I do not go to the Amazfit application, the watch connects everything works and the flashlight is ok, I turn on the application amazfit and the torch goes down. Tonight I put the plane on the phone and plugged in only the bluetooth and my watch was discharged in the morning. The red bar at the bottom of the amazfit app only appears when I'm not connected to the internet, I'm connected all the time. I have amazfit 2 China, recorded by Rom 2.0.14.0, Amazfit Watch 3.0.0 and HUAWEI Mate 10 lite
So it has exactly the same bug as the first one... (and I have it on my wrist). Well time to go back to regular (but expensive for nothing) watches

Basically what usually cause these problems are wither data sync issues or a problem with Bluetooth/WiFi.

I noticed the same issue with my pace on my OP5 after à phone update. Tried to reset, pair un pair still the same.
Issue was removed after oxygenos 5.1.0 but immediately back after last oxos 5.1.1
To move on I paires the watch to my xiaomi mi5 on global stable rom Android 7, all is fine.
Seems many phones are bt broken with oreo.

I think too, that this is some sync related issue. If I check the watch data in the Amazfit app, then the watch starts to drain with 2-3% per hour. However if I exit the app and turn off Bluetooth on the phone till the notification icon and the watch show disconnected and then turn back BT to get the watch connected again, the battery consumption goes back to normal.
Opening the app again starts the battery drain issue again.
I wrote it already in another thread here, I own an Amazfit Pace, of course with battery drain issues. So I tested a bit. When the phoneapp is syncing it shows an information field at the bottom, this field becomes green when finished. But a few seconds later another datasync is made, not shown in the app but indicated by network speedmeter in androids statusbar. I think weather is syncing there but if you aren't aware of this and close the phoneapp before this second sync is finished, the watch runs into battery drain.
Since I wait 10 seconds after the app shows the green sync complete field I never had drain issues again.
amazfit watch app
I have the opposite problem. My phone battery drains like crazy. I have the Stratos for 2 days /int. version/. It works great, battery life is excellent. I suspect the Amazfit Watch App /Android/ is the culprit. I have to charge my phone 2-3 times daily??!
I think my Stratos worked fine until I activated the 'continuous HR' feature (and switched it off again). Before that, it would easily last for 5 days on a full charge. But I also get these fast drains now.
I restarted the watch a couple of times, let's see if this did it.
I've had the same issue a while ago (also after testing the continuous HR feature), and there I really had to reset the watch and reboot 3 times to get it back to normal again.

Something is breaking the Bluetooth connection between phone and watch, the most common cases are WiFi interferences (test with phone in Airplane mode and only BT on and see if battery usage is OK on phone) or corrupted data when syncing to the cloud (open Amazfit app and check if syncing is OK - you should see a green bar at the bottom -, you may need to unpair - it will delete all data on watch - then pair again and answer NO when it asks to restore old data).
Indeed seems bt is corrupted. When draining occurs, even if I switch off the bt from the phone, the icon on the watch says it is still connected. Again for me this does not occur on nougat, only when pairing with oreo device.

Did you find a solution or did you send back the watch ?
so until how do not know what is the culprit?
mine one can last one day......
I have buyed the new released Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S and i have problems with the Wifi. When you let the device to sleep for few hours wifi stops working. When turning on the phone from sleep the wifi dont work and you have to turn the wifi off and on to restore it, then i receive all the messages at once when the apps (Line, Whatsapp, etc) reconnect to inet. It seens to happen only if the device is sleep for few hours. If is only sleep for few minutes it works ok. Anyone experienced this issue, knows how to solve it?
I noticed strange wifi behaviors too
I also encounter same issue...
please advise your rom version.
my device does not get that's problem
11.0.1 global
11.0.3 india global
11.0.5 india global
I have used my RMN9S more than a week ago and I don't have any issue with WiFi. My device connect to WiFi almost 24/7 without any problem. BTW mine 11.0.3 global
Mine is 11.0.3 global. When i awaked this morning and checked the phone it was working ok. No problems at all after all night in sleep mode. I am puzzled. I hope it was a "one" time fault and it works from now on. I come again if i have news.
Just got the wifi connected without internet... Had to disable and renable
This also happens to my Redmi Note 9S.
It happens with all current ROMs. I experienced it with global, indian and eu ROMs.
Its also random, it does not happen after x hours. Sometimes its just 1 hour, others is 7 hours, others it does not happen.
What I do:
I turn off the smartphone screen to sleep, with wifi on. AC connected.
I have some apps reading internet data every 2 minutes.
When I wake up, I see the wifi icon connected. But Internet doesn't work.
When I look at the apps, I can see that they stopped accessing internet at a random time in the night.
If I turn wifi off and on, internet works again.
It doesn't happen with wifi off and mobile data connection on.
I tried changing some values in dev settings. Also in battery settings. Nothing has worked yet.
With normal day usage, it can also happens, if the screen is off a few hours.
It not a router wifi issue. My old note 3 worked fine with the same wifi. My wife's redmi note 8 pro works fine too.
It can be something related to battery saving. But so far I have been unable to fix if.
It never happens with screen on, or with screen off for a few minutes.
So I dont think its a hardware issue, I think its software-related.

Thank you DjXavy, your post is perfect to describe my issues. As anyone triying to contact Xiaomi about this problem? Are they even aware of it?
-deleted-
It could be a drivers or firmware problem. Xiaomi should be able to fix it.
What can we do:
1) If it happens to you too, please report it here and give details if you can. That way, Xiaomi can evaluate how common the problem is.
2) While it get fixed: Do someone know an app, or can build one, that check every few seconds if internet conection is working, and if it fails a few times, the app turns wifi off and on? It will require a rooted smarthphone to control wifi switch.
3) Do someone know how to send bug reports to Xiaomi? It would be good is they get a link to this thread.
I have updated to 11.0.5 now, lets see if its fixed or not. I have used the inbuilt report feature in the phone to report the issue but anything else except this post.
I have flashed xiaomi.eu 11.0.5 today. Still Wi-Fi Problems here. Hope Xiaomi get this fixed soon.
I have been contacted by Xiaomi support in the phone app. Now at least they are aware of the problem.
They called me today too. I have send them logs. At least they are working hard at this Problem. Everyone should send them logs to get this error fixed soon.
I may found the cause and workaround to prevent this bug.
Normally WiFi recognizes absence of internet connection. But in our case we're still online and I noticed some syncs still working. So DNS is coming to my mind. But I still changed my wifi to static IP using Google 8.8.8.8 DNS.
With Pie(?) Google introduced "Private DNS". I remember in MIUI 10 this feature was hidden and by default "off". On my NOTE 9S (global MI version) this setting was set to "Automatic" by default. After turning it off while dysfunctional WiFi, internet was coming back right away. After this (still) continuous connection.
The time is too short to be sure it's gone forever (*evil laugh*), but you guys could help to test.
You find the option in "Settings | Connection & sharing | Private DNS".
Good work. Continue trying things!
I switched off that same option days ago.
My 9S still have problems with wifi.
Sometimes, even switching the screen off a few minutes is enought to trigger it.
I'm still trying things, but no luck so far.
Although I've only had it for one day, I've not seen this problem yet. Wonder if it's a Wi-Fi compatibility issue or something strange?
I have noticed that I dont have problems when I am connected to a 802.11n network. The last Days I have had the Problems I Was connected to 802.11ac (2,4ghz + 5ghz). Today I was connected to an old 802.11n network and everything seems to be okay. Do you have the Problems with both Networks?

Interesting. I'm connecting to a 802.11ac wifi too.
I will switch to a 802.11n one and see what happens.
Recently I am facing battery drain issue on my MI A3, I already have tried many tricks and suggestions also even hard reset it two times but that doesn't solved my problem. Now I even can't post my problem on their community forum as it's not banned in my country.
Please anybody who face same issue or anyone has any solution for it.... Please respond Thanks.
First of all install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digibites.accubattery&hl=en and keep it running for at least a day.
After that, check and report back screen on and screen off power consumption. Usual ranges in my 2 phones are:
- no AOD, light usage (~7-10% screen on, ~0.3% screen off)
- AOD enabled, "heavy" usage - Whatsapp for web, Mi Band notifications, etc. (~12-14% screen on, ~2.4-3% screen off)
Once you know your current baseline, it will be easier to do further troubleshooting.
Do you have root access to the phone?
