Wifi Disconnecting?

I am not sure if this is ROM related or not, but when I have wifi running and connected, and Hello IM running, and I sleep my G1, usually about 5+mins later when I wake it back up it will be on Edge or 3G, and when I unlock my G1 it disconnects Edge/3G and connects back to the wifi network. Keep in mind my G1 will be in the same spot from when I put it to sleep, so network signal is not an issue, and I never had this issue b4. Any input?

Wifi Allways On?

Hey Guys!
What is a good app for Making sure the WIFI is always connected to an Access point? I need an app that will reconnect if the connection drops out as well.I just need an app to make sure i'm connected to my Home WIFI all the time when i'm home. (Trying to use FRING)
I know u can change the "wireless sleep policy" to NEVER, but the wifi does not reconnect if the connection drops out. I've read through some other wifi threads and gone through some apps in the market but couldn't find exactly what i'm looking for.
Thanks

there is WiFi Fixer on market.

Thanks seems to work better now

You can also do it through the settings.
Go to the WiFi settings, press menu, and click on advanced. You will see an option to change the WiFi sleep policy.

you might wanna try Y5 ...
it's a free app that turns wifi on when known networks are around (those you already connected to once) and turns wifi off when there are no known networks.

Online radio streaming on nexus stops with screen off.

Have you guys have the same problem?tryed all the radios on the market..they stream perfectly on wifi ,but when i lock the screen it just stops streaming.If i turn the screen back starts as normal.Any idea how to get over this?

No problem for me with lastFM.

This should work ... but it doesn't
Just in case you haven't tried - in the settings menu, Wireless and Networks, Wi-Fi settings, then press menu again and find 'Advanced'. Here lives 'Wi Fi sleep policy'. It looks promising, the obvious move is to set this to 'Never'.
But it doesn't solve the problem. Like you I'm finding that it is a problem with all radio streamers, some worse than others. If I turn wireless off and use 3G its fine.
Thanks for posting the issue. I thought I was the only one.

No problems with TuneWiki over WiFi and 3G...

i find that even if you set the wifi never to sleep it still does. i frequently use aftp to transfer movies and stuff to my phone over my lan, so ill set it to transfer like 3 gigs of stuff and go to bed, even though its set never to sleep the socket still gets closed at some point at night. so id say your problem lies with wifi sleeping.
also some online radios stop automatically after a certain amount of time incase you arent listening anymore to save bandwithd

Maybe its in the app settings. You didnt specify which app it was also...

This might help
When you connect Wi-Fi make sure to turn off your cellular network. N1 has this weird problem where in as soon as screen is off, it drops the wi-fi connection and goes on to cellular network.
So if you switch off ur cellular network it maintains its Wi-Fi connection even when the screen is off.

i use mainly "AOnline radio" but i have tryed pretty much all from the market and all do the same. trying with the settings now..post if any change.
edit:yea still stops...strange try with gsm off and still same thing...is it there any solution to get over this thing?i just liten now with the screen on) eats the battery..it's ok but why not better?

The Nexus one activates some kind of energy saving mode as soon as you turn off the screen. This makes the WiFi connection very laggy, though stable for me. This is independent of the WiFi sleep policy. There's a bug report because of this for Sipdroid and I've also seen this issue while being connected to the phone via SSH. The connection is just fine as long as the screen is on, but if it's off, there's about 1 second delay.
However, I never had the problem you describe. Droidlive, for example, works just fine.

i will check droidlive myself right now...thank you for explinations..is there a way to talk with cyan and maybe he could overpass that wifi sleepy thing.
edit: also noticed if you ahve a download or something and turn the screen off goes very slow..so this problem i think really have a priority to be solved.
edit2:still stops...what would be the thing?wifi priority changed.do you have any type of settings?full app?

I'm listening to a ShoutCast stream with AOnline right now, using WiFi, screen is off. Works perfectly. Do you see this problem with other access points, too?

SLightworkaround....
If you can keep it plugged in...set the SCREEEN TO NEVER SLEEP...under settings>>>applications>>>DEVELOPMENT>>>STAY AWAKE... hope that helps!

This is the problem yes... Just try to ping your N1 while turning the screen off/on... Ping jumps up as soon as the screen is turned off...
For me Streams stop when I have a weak signal to begin with, which does not get better when turning the screen off
"KeepScreen" might help...

[Q] Wifi issue with sleep policy

I'm using a wifi sleep policy to save my battery (Settings\Wifi\Menu\Advanced Settings\Wi-Fi sleep policy\Never when plugged in)
It works fine but sometimes, when I switch on my device, wifi does not wake up.
If I check Wifi settings, there is no wifi hotspot visible
I have to disable / enable Wifi to be able to connect to my wireless network...
I didn't see this issue on GB.
I tried several ICS ROM and I always saw this issue.
Any help would be appreciated ?
Thanks in advance

Try reflashing the modem after you flash the ROM - fixed wifi issues for me.

Thank you for your answer
I just flashed my modem (XXLPT) over the ROM.
I will report back if it works or not...
What kind of wifi issues did you have ?

I reproduced the issue at noon.
So reflashing the modem does not fix my issue
Any other suggestions ?

I can reproduced the issue :
- with xxlr1 = not a modem issue
- with a full wiped rom = not a software issue
- At home and at work = not a wifi router issue
- with dhcp and static ip config = not dhcp related
And I cannot reproduce the issue when setting my wifi sleep policy to 'Always'
Nobody with the same issue ?
At least to confirm I'm not alone

you are not alone. I have exactly the same issue from the time I updated phone to the first release ICS. Now I have the lastest build but the problem is still there. So, I can say that WIFI reconnects goog if phone was not in deep sleep, but as only I let it stay off for a longer time I need turn WIFI OFF/ON to establish connection.

Yeh i got exactly the same problem with wifi and because of it i switched to always on. I thought that maybe when i turn on the screen to look at the time and then turn it off to quickly so that the wifi couldn't connect it would cause that problem but im not sure

Check the Better WiFi app thread, it switches wifi on/off depending on user chosen triggers, with no problems, so the system wifi policy can be left to be always on

I'm personnally using Tasker to reset wifi when this issue is detected (and for other things )

[Q] WiFi policy

Hi,
Does anybody here have issues with WiFi policy in Options? I mean I set it to turn off wifi weh never the phone is on sleep( locked) and yet after 30minutes when I lokk to my phone I see that wifi was on all the time. I also confirm my theory wen I go to power and history and see that wifi was actually ON all the time. In other words: My phone ignores wifi sleep policy! My phone is running latest Version of OS and uses stock ROM

I am having a similar problem. I turn WiFi off and mobile data off and yet when I turn on screen just to check the time WiFi is back on. It's a slightly different issue but relates to WiFi no doing as it is told. I'm on 4.1.2.
Sent from my HTC One

Lets hope somebody comes up with good suggestion or solution
