HUGE BUG: wirelles doesnt STAY ON/CONNECTED with toggle screen ????

Hi guys i like to use wireless alot, and at home i use wireless to chat and other softwares
that need comunications ...
I used to TOGGLE SCREN on other PocketPC´s and leave the wifi runing on the PocketPC
with the connections that i need.... with the softwares running.
So with TYTN2 i am not able to do that... everything i try doesnt work.... when i toggle screen with WIFI ON and CONNECTED
and leave the machine running, i am not able to keep the wifi CONNECTED... every time i turn screen back on WIFI does a
new connection.....
I tried to toggle screen with :
- Windows Media Player toggle screen option
- psShutXP
This is a real FAILURE for ppl that like to leave wireless on @ home....
IS THERE A SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM ?????

You could never put the phone in standby on wifi on the heremes. I *****ed when I was new to hermes and was told that is to save power. I dont remember about just turning the backlight off though.

Yes its a really ***** PROBLEM!!!!
I am pissed off... you cant image .....
Other PPC can do this.....
- Disable autoPower off in POWER OPTIONS.
- Toggle SCreen
And wifi keeps conected and ON but with TYTN2 i am not ABLE TO THIS !!!!!!

sucks, but I am not surprised

I had the same problem when streaming. When I lock the screen with the power button on my treo I'd lose the stream. But this doesnt happen if I use scrsaver.exe from PHM. I posted it here in post 2 http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=139884 just change the extension to exe of course and run the exe on the ppc
It turns the screen off and locks the buttons. On the treo you would turn the screen back on with the center button on the 5way. Hope this works for you. Its been a jewel for me.

its to save power. using wifi uses SO much power and its impractical. I have yet to see a PPC that does NOT do this. Some "seem" to not do it but i assume that it just "keeps the connection active" and when it does re-connect back up it continues to send data, but gives a false sense of it being on (correct me if i'm wrong)
simple soloution: Connect the AC adapter to your TytnII and the screen backlight may turn off but the device will remain on (you can still see the screen) and thus keeping your connection. Not the ideal, but a 4hrs battery life with wifi on? not my idea of a good idea
Edit thingy:
Btw its not a huge bug .. very misleading topic title!!!!

From what I read it IS a huge bug, and.... you're wrong
Just kidding, but WiFi is supposed to suspend when device is put in suspend mode, sure. But of course not when just the screen is turned off. And every ppc should act that way..

I believe you can toggle this behavior with START/SETTINGS/CONNECTIONS/Wireless LAN/Power Mode and slide towards "Best Performance".
I noticed this on my Sprint Mogul while I had it. Funny thing was after a clean phone boot it wouldnt always behave according to where the slider is (even tho set at best bat life it would still stay on sometimes when screen timeout, I don't believe the kaiser/tilt does this), but going into the settings and moving this slider would make it behave accordingly.
Good luck.

I'm seeing the same thing. On my TyTN, I used to use MortSaver to turn off the screen but leave the device and WiFi running. Since I switched to a TyTN II, WiFi turns off when I start MortSaver.
Cranking up the WiFi power options to max performance does not seem to help.
This is not about standby mode - we all know WiFi turns off there (even if we'd prefer that be an option too, of course).
If there a fix for this issue?

I think something could be made via reg editing, but since I don't own a kaiser...

Any tips where to start looking?

yep, in the registry
just kidding, check that key, lot of parameters to play with.. Their names sound just like what you're looking for :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETWLN1\Parms
note that TNETWLN1 is the name of the WiFi adapter, so it may not be the same on kaiser.

The relevant key on the Kaiser would be:
HKLM\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms
(somehow it scares me that I know that from the top of my head )

I was sure TCPMP screen off option was working ( keeping WiFi alive )... after awhile ... it failed too.
sorry

Sadly doesnt work for me. At least the green LED blinks for a while in standby mode but the device becomes pretty warm and the Wlan says disconnected if i turn on the device again.

Backlight turns on randomly

Does anyone else have this happening my screen will randomly turn on after i press the button on the top to turn it off? it is very annoying at night it makes me think i have an incoming call or text message and being that Im on call 24x7 sometimes have to check it everytime it happenes which is about ever 10 to 15 minutes????
I searched on here already and couldnt find anything?????
any help?????

yes, that's probably normal behaviour, since the SCREENN-OFF button also works as SCREEN-ON button, whatever necessary...
but my screen doesn't turn on randomly...
my tip: just put your device in a thick wool sock and put it face down on your desk ;-)...
another possibility is, that if you charge it over night and the plug isn't fitting right then the screen may turn off because it constantly thinks it's plugged in and out...
Best Luck and nice dreams
Regards

not only when plugged in
actually it doesnt only happen when the phone is plugged in it happenes all the time

mine does it too upon occasion. i think it has to do woth background processes running, or your phone is roaming for alternative towers.

mine does it too. I have the Sprint CDMA version. Someone on a different forum thought it might be the phone looking for a signal. But no one was really sure. Haven't been able to find much useful info on it anywhere.

it's switching towers...my Mogul did it too.

is there any way to make it stop

In some of the aboce cases it can be that someone is trying to make a video call to you while Phone skin is disabled.

I also have this problem. My screen will turn on from time to time without any obvious reason. It's especially annoying at night... I have my phone in a cradle on my nightstand, so when the screen comes on the whole room lights up! I've resorted to keeping a shirt over it at night.
I tried setting the phone to 100% roaming since my Sprint signal is low in my apartment and I read somewhere that the phone will turn on when it switches towers/service, but alas it did not help me.
ANY IDEAS FOR A FIX?

The one thing I dislike about my N7

I have sync off, maps off, gps off, location off... and wifi set to "never on" during standby mode...
But... it takes a good 15 minutes before wifi actually turns off, which wastes a little bit of battery life
Any way around this? Eg, make it turn off wifi quicker?

Uhmmm well maybe if you were able to provide more info like rom, rooted or not, kernel etc. we'll be able to help you out more.
As of now i can tell that is not right, mine goes off immediately.

Yes, more info would help however try this go to your settings and in the WiFi settings forget your network then restart your router and re-boot your tablet off/on (not stand by) then go to the wireless settings log back in to your network.

Wow, why do people care about such small things? It's not like it drains half of your battery.

Well, because it is not a normal thing to happen. So if it is not normal, it is a sign of a possibly bigger problem that needs to be addressed. If he is on a custom rom, then the dev would be notified to see if its on his end, to fix in the next release. And those are just two reasons why people "care about such small things". Welcome to xda. This is where all the small things are fixed. Its kinda the point.

Are you sure that's not normal? All my android devices take 10-15 min to turn the WiFi off.
It'll have a negligible effect on your battery life but if you really want it to turn off faster, the green power app on the store allows you to turn off WiFi instantly.

That's normal. If you have tasker or other similar app you can set it to turn off WiFi on lock or if you have a magnetic case, sit it to turn off WiFi when it's closed.

Don't think that's normal, wifi always turns off almost instantly for me

wifi turns off almost instantly here too. 10-15 minutes to turn off wifi is not normal in any situation. op, maybe a little background? stock or rooted? rom/kernel? mods flashed? themes?

The WiFi on my N7 turns off instantly. It did when it was stock unrooted, it did when it was stock rooted, and it does with Paranoid Android. Not sure what the issue may be. Unless you are running a different kernel.

It is normal.
I'm on CM10 and in the advanced WiFi menu is an option to alter the default WiFi timeout from 15mins to other values. I'm unsure if that option is only available in CM10 but I think its also available in stock, can someone on stock clarify that.
The advanced menu is definitely available on stock 4.1.2 I'm just unsure if the timeout is configurable or not.
But WiFi always takes some minutes to disconnect in case you decide to hit the power button to put the device on standby and then 2secs later decide to use it again.
Test it by just hitting the power button and 10secs later hit it again and look at the WiFi icon, it will show its connected. Now do it again but wait 20mins and then hit power and look at the icon and it will show its disconnected.
I guess the timeout can be affected by apps that use WiFi when the screen is off and how quickly the device sleeps when the screen is off etc.

Stock, rooted. Using Notification Toggle, my wifi turns off immediately when I touch the wifi toggle icon.

Is the concept of this thread that hard to the understand...
...of course it turns off immediately if you hit a toggle, that's the point, this post is about the timeout value, ie the WiFi timeout when the screen is turned off.

Active Display doesnt turn on sometime?

Its random but sometimes when I pick up the phone active display doesnt turn on and it wont work for a little while and then it will start working again anybody know whats going on? Im on 4.4 verizon.. I remember I had seen someone else either on here or reddit and they had a solution but now i cant find it..

That is weird. What do you do to fix it? just keep pressing the power button? or do you just wait and the screen eventually turn on? is it working meanwhile... like, can you lock yourself out on the pattern lock while the screen is off but supposed to be on?
probably totaly unrelated, but the nexus one have an issue with the amoled/digitizer. When the screen is on while charging (or on for longer periods without digitizer use) the digitizer will not work until the amoled is turned off/on again. maybe some crazy electro migration bug or badly spec caps going on on google+htc design for the n-one... maybe they haven't learned any lesson

Mine does that too sometimes, it did it most recently driving in the car. Have you tried wiping the screen? Sometimes if I make sure my screen is spotless, it's more responsive...don't know if it's placebo or not.
But you aren't the only one!

Im not sure maybe. Ill have to see what the screen does before it happens. When Ive noticed it my screen was off just sitting on the table and when I pick it up nothing happens.

I dont think it has anything to do with the screen though. Becuase ill pick up my phone and it wont turn on. What ive done is turn the screen on and off and then leave it for a few minutes and it just starts working again... pretty annoying but it happens very rarely

I think it doesn't work while in the car because it can't differentiate the pick-up motion vs. the motion from driving.
Not sure why it wouldn't happen sitting on a table though, unless it was just recently set down.

Why won't my screen shut off

I've googled and looked all over for a fix but I can't seem to find a solution. My S6 screen won't shut off after 30 seconds of inactivity. If I get a text message or my battery reaches 100% overnight, my screen will stay until I turn it off myself.
Also, while I'm here, I'm experiencing call issues too. Sometimes when calling or receiving calls, it connects but neither side can hear anything. I have to hang up and call again. Is there a call bug?
Any solution?

Try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, the phone might be defective.

You checked your display settings correct? I have yet to have any call problems but I disabled volte so that might be why. When in doubt do a factory reset and if that doesn't work odin.

I always notice my screen will not turn off when it should. I use wireless charging btw.

If this is a legitimate problem and not a settings thing you guys have defective phones and should have swapped them out in your 14 day return period. What is described here should never happen unless the settings are set that way.
