I really hate starting a new thread as a noob but everyone starts somewhere lol. Simple question, may have complicating or inexplicable answer:
I'm usually always connected to aim via IM+ and when I'm not on wifi i can turn the screen off and it doesnt cut the connection. but when i am connected to my wifi signal and i turn the screen off, after about 10 minutes it stops my wifi connection. any ideas why or ways around this?
ThANK YOU! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK HERE
Hello everybody!
Someone of you has noticed a poor WiFi reception on Hero?
I'm experiencing a poor WiFi reception in my house when Hero is connect to internet thru an access point.
What happen is that after WiFi connection has been established the phone tends to loose it and restart connection thru GSM/3G link.
That happen also if phone stay in the same place without moving around and also when phone is close to access point location.
Any idea about way to solve the problem?
Regards.

Just an upgrade on issue...
If I turn off data connection thru GSM/3G and switch on WiFi seem that WiFi connection is stable so maybe issue come when both data connection are enabled...
Anyway is annoying shout down each time data connection on GSM/3D and power on WiFi!
Regards.
i believe wifi goes idle when not in use. so it connect to 3g or edge. However there is an app if not various in the market already to help keep wifi always on..
Do a search for wifi and see for yourself.

Thanks for suggestion!
At now I've solved turning off GSM/3G data connection when I'm at home anyway I guess that WiFi reception sometimes go away due to issue of the phone or maybe as way to save battery...
when that happen phone stay unconnected so I guess that should be better if I will check for apps that keep WiFi connection always working!

when the device goes into standby, the wifi is turned off to save battery poweer, and it will go back to 3G.
go into the wifi settings, press menu and select advanced.
select the timeout options
set to never and it will not turn off when in standby.
problem solved and you shouldn't have to turn off Mobile data, although with the settings widget on your homescreen turning mobile data off off each time is hardly going to ruin your life. in fact i tend to do this anyway, just cos i have spent too many years with windows mobile....
Here's an annoying bug I've found tho - on TMob UK
If I send an MMS from home, wifi on, it sits there, and doesn't send the message. Until I turn off wifi and 3G kicks in again.
Now I know for a fact that on my Magic, it was able to turn on 3g/HSPDA to send the message all by itself. Might have a look in thodse advanced settings tho to see if there is something I can do.. Not a biggie, just a bit of an annoyance.

I too, have been doing a search on Forums all over Google looking for a resolution to this.
I have noticed if Wi-Fi is enabled I am unable to send or receive MMS messages.
It is an annoyance having to turn Wi-Fi off each time also I am never to know if someone has tried to send a message in the first place.
Currently using T-Mobile G2 (rooted with MCR Rom 2.8) on T-Mobile UK
Hey guys,
Is there any way to use Mobile Networks without turning Wifi off?
Currently, as soon as I turn Wifi On, if there's a know network around, it will connect to Wifi and obviously Mobile Network (3G) is not used...
However, is there any chance to still use Mobile Networks without:
- Turning Wifi OFF
- "Forget" known networks
Reason for all this is that I'm having an issue with my phone... When I turn Wifi On, it gets "stuck" turning it on, and the only way to get wifi connection is by turning phone off and then on again (seems like a known bug, but nothing seems to fix it)
So what I want to do is to keep Wifi On all the time, but always use Mobile Networks unless I want to connect to wifi...
Any idea?
I had the same problem a little while ago, other software worked for me.
There is a workaround that helped me when wifi was stuck
Go to settings and search wifi hot spot! Turn that on and off and try if the normal wifi is off again.
It doesnt work always, but you can try. But i would say put some new firmware on the phone!

if you go to settings, you see wireless&networks. you can click on "more"
you will see Tethering & portable hotspot click on it, and there is the option for the portable wifi hotspot.
enable it, and disable it again, next thing is to check if you can turn on wifi the normal way again.
i hope this helps for you!
Will give it a try!! Thanks!
I got the 4.2.2 leak to make my freezing go away, and so far it is working. But something works differently on wifi now. As I move around, it is constantly connecting to weak unsecured wifi networks, say from stores for example. It is very annoying because the networks often don't work, and they cause mobile data to turn off so I have to turn off wifi to be able to use internet. Then I get home and I have to remember to turn it back on.
Anyone else having problems with this? Is there a way to fix it? After fighting with the freezes for a long time, I really don't want to "rock the boat" and flash another ROM right now.
Thanks!
This may seem like a minor issue, but it's driving me crazy.
I always set my Wifi to "Always on" on my devices, so that when I pick up my phone or tablet, it's connected and I don't need to wait for it to switch to Wifi and make a connection. This usually works great except on my HTC Desire. Something to do with HTC's connection manager stubbornly switches to the wireless data (3G/4G) connection even though I'm already on Wifi.
Basically what happens is this: I'm using my phone on Wifi, I put it to sleep, set it aside. I pick it up a second, a minute or hours later and turn it back on. It's still connected to Wifi, but then the connection manager toggles over to 3G for no reason at all. Then a few seconds later it flops back over to the Wifi connection.
Again, this may seem like a minor problem, but when I've told my phone to stay on Wifi, I'd like it to stay that way. Plus, the way it works, I'm usually already in an app by the time it toggles my connections, so I'm stuck sitting there and waiting while it does it's thing.
At one point I used Titanium Backup to freeze one of the connection managers that I found in the app list, but that didn't seem to stop it. Does anyone else know which app is doing this nonsense?
I'm on stock 4.2.2 (or whatever the phone came with). The phone is currently rooted.
Thanks a lot!
