Let's say I've left my tablet in the table for a few hours.
Eden I turn on the screen, suddenly all notifications start loading. Sometimes the device even freezes while ask the past notifications are being received by the tablet.
I've checked that 'wifi never sleeps' is enabled.
Still happens.

when i start to download any file which is big ,after the screen goes black after 1 minute the WiFi also stops working i have to start the machine again and the WiFi starts to work again
it means that i wont be getting any notifications while the screen is off as the WiFi is off .not nice
any way of getting around it
thanks
Download "Advanced Wifi Lock (Free)" from the store and set it so WiFi doesn't go off. It's somewhat of a battery killer but it's better than the alternative.
The wifi is a big flaw in the Tablet S that wasn't fixed in ICS.

Try this: before downloading the file, go into advanced Wi-Fi settings and set the Wi-Fi disconnect policy to "Never" or if you have your tablet connected to its charger, "Never when plugged in". After the file has been downloaded, set the disconnect policy back to what you normally have it set to.
This is the WLan Bug. Sony cant get it better with ICS and to change the Wlan Settings does not bring the result.
So take your Screentime to max about 5min. and tap every 2 or 3 minutes the screen. Revert this Settings after download is complete.

I've only ever had this problem once, and I could fix it by just going to Settings>WiFi Settings>Advanced>Disconnection Policy and said "Never". That would be my suggestion since (as mentioned) third-party WiFi lock's chew through battery like theres no tomorrow...
Good ideas. I also use an app that does not let the screen sleep when the power cord is plugged in.

When the tablet is off (sleeping), my local DHCP server gets DHCP requests from the tablet every minute. The power led briefly lits when it wakes up.
When I switch the tablet on, the first thing it does is drop the WiFi connection and re-establishes it.
This seems higly illogical. Also, when I have networking applications running when I switch the tablet off, these apps crash or malfunction when I switch it on again.
Did I overlook a specific setting to avoid this?
I think that when you turn it on, the WiFi connection has already been dropped, but the indicator hasn't been updated yet. It then notices that the connection is down, updates the indicator, and re-connects. I'm not sure about the DHCP requests every minute. You can check in the System Monitor's Alarms tab what's waking your device that often; my guess is that the system figures it'll try to reconnect now that it's woken up, but it doesn't stay awake long enough to establish a useful connection.
I don't think there's really anything you can do to avoid this in general; it's just the way Android power management works. What you can do if you really want is to install an application that will hold a partial wake lock for you. As long as the wake lock is held, the device will never completely go to sleep; the screen will turn off (for a partial wake lock), but the network connection won't be dropped. Of course, this will consume much more power than letting your device sleep normally. I use this when I know I'm going to be intermittently using my tablet for a while (like when I'm cooking) and don't want to keep waiting for the network connection to come back up.

That could very well be the case.

Whenever I switch it on, there's always an alarm scheduled for Android System for the next minute.
I like keeping my wifi on while my screen is asleep so that I can receive chat messages or e-mails without being at my computer. I never had this problem while running ICS on an unrooted TF201, but ever since I installed the upgrade to JB my wifi will always disconnect after the screen has been asleep for a few minutes. I've checked every setting I can think of. In the Wifi Advanced menu, I have it set so Wifi is always on, and in the ASUS customized setting I have Disconnect network during sleep to off. Under Power Saver I have Enable low battery settings off, set Low battery level to 0%, and even set Wifi OFF to off. Despite all of this, it seems like the tablet under JB goes into some sort of deep sleep and disconnects the wifi after about 5 minutes of inactivity.
I have noticed that this problem does not occur when the screen is on. I also have the dock, and set the screen to always on during meetings in the event that I don't need to enter any notes for a few minutes so I don't have to fool with any delays from screen wake .
Is there some setting I'm missing? Is it a hidden setting that I could access by rooting? Or am I dealing with something internal to the build that I can't change at all? This may not seem like a huge deal to most, but it has become one of my main uses for the tablet when I'm at home. I'm very disappointed with JB so far even though the wifi does feel more responsive on the Prime after the update (when it's not sleeping, of course!).
EDIT: I noticed this evening that the wifi turns off even when I'm running something that uses it while the screen is off. I was listening to Pandora, and about 5 minutes after the screen went off, my music stopped. When I turned the screen back on, I saw that the wifi had indeed become disconnected.
hey,
I have exactly the same problem with my tablet. I have checked every option, I did a factory reset several time, I have checked it on 2 different routers but it is still disconnecting the wife when it goes in the sleep modus. Did you or anyone else find a solution?
Is it normal that the watch constantly disconnects the wifi connecction? At least it looks like this.
I connect it, then leave the settings/back to homescreensand when I enter the wifi settings again it is reconnecting.
I noticed that aswell when I open my Router Config. The watch is only connected for a few seconds and then it's gone until I manually go back to wifi settings.
Energy saving mode is set to 120 minutes.
Same for me. I hope it gets fixed with the next update. It is pretty annoying.
I have this too. Most annoying thing is that it vibrates like there are 1000 messages incoming
Since i'm playing with amplify and power nap on my asus ze551ml (lollipop 5.0 with boret's kernel), i faced the following:
When the screen is off, the device doesn't go to sleep mode, or at least i think so.
I'm doing my testing with telegram; i said to amplify to limit his alarms to 1 every 10 minutes, and it is working fine undernight (BBS confirms that)
Now i'm even trying Power Nap, which is supposed to completely stop Telegram (and others).
Anyway, if i put the screen off, and then send a message to my telegram account, the phone still receives it almost instantly (3 seconds delay).
This clearly means that telegram is still active and kicking, it is not using any wakelock, it is alive all the time.
But, i repeat, it works overnight (Better battery stats confirms that amplify is limiting his alarms).
Another strange thing, is that i've configured com.asus.powersave to disable wifi as soon as the device enters sleep state, but when i wakeup my phone in the morning and see the BBS statistics from "screen off" to "screen on", it shows that wifi has been active for more than 18 minutes, so here's the question:
Is there a time/timeout to wait after one tunr off the screen for the phone to enter in standby/sleep mode?
And if yes, is that time configurable?
Thanks.
I made a test that confirmed what BBS said; i turned the screen off and start to ping my android wifi ip.
After about 18 minutes (that's the time BBS said wifi was active after the whole night), it stopped responding to pings and telegram of course wasn't workling anymore.
Is it possible to change that timeout to something lower?
