Why I dont receive alerts when screen is turn off? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone...
There is a problem with my nexus one.
I downloaded some clients for MSN like MSN Talk, Hi MSN, Meebo and eBuddy, but I receive alerts from these clients only when screen is turn on. If i turn off the screen, I never receive alerts.
Then, when I turn on the screen, I receive all alerts at same time.
Have any way to enable alerts when screen is turn off?
Sorry for my english
EDIT: The same happens with Gmail, Google Talk...

Are you using wifi? Maybe your wifi sleep policy is set to disconnect when the screen is off.

Thanks for your answer.
Yes, I'm using wifi, but my wifi sleep policy is set to never disconnect.
EDIT: I made a test.
I set wifi sleep policy to "Never".
Then, from other computer in same network, I executed the command "ping" to network address from nexus. I received answers.
Then, I turn off the screen and repeat the same test and now I didn't receive answers!
Why the OS don't honor my settings? Is it a hardware or software issue?

WLAN turning on by itself....

Hello everyone!
Just moved from a P3600 to the P4550 and noticed something strange twice in the last 4 days. When I looked at the display in the morning (phone and WLAN were off overnight.....hardly ever turn on WLAN, as I only use it when travelling) I found that WLAN had switched itself on sometime during the night. What gives?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
This happens to me also if:
(1) ActiveSync is set to "as items arrive" (i.e. push)
(2) There is no phone signal.
Apparently AS looks for the Exchange server, and not being able to find a phone signal, turns on Wifi to see if it can connect like that.
I suppose this will also happen if you have AS set to poll mail at intervals. When the interval time arrives, I guess AS will want to go online and - not being able to use the phone signal - will turn on Wifi.
Very annoying as it drains the battery. It does NOT turn Wifi off after a while.
Oh well.

Oh - an afterthought: in CONNECTIONS I have set both programs accessing the net and programs accessing a private network configured to use MY WORK NETWORK. Don't know if fiddling around with that may stop AS turning on WifI.
Should you find a solution, please post coz I would like to fix this bug/feature too.
Hmmm.....if this theory is correct then going to flight-mode instead of just turning the phone off - should effectively not allow any kind of connections.....will check tomorrow....

Activesync switches Wifi on automatically

Hello,
I am using Pushmail with my Tytn II. It works over GPRS. When i switch off the GPRS and Enable Wifi and then disable wifi again in the comm-Manager then this happens:
From Comm-Mgr Activesync and selecvt "sync". I get the Message "Phone is off shall it beturned on?" and i select "no".
Then after a few seconds Wifi switches on!
This is the way how to force it - i also had wifi switching on itself at night (realized it becuase i heard a beep from new emails arriving...)
This wasnt the behaviour before - any Idea whats going on and how to avoid that?
Greetings
Michael

Wifi driving me crazy!

I posted this in the general forum but got no replies. Is there any way to use direct push without it turning wifi on all the time? Every time I make a phone call or loose reception wifi switches itself on. It is extremely annoying. I am constantly turning it off and almost every time i take my phone out of my pocket wifi is back on. Does anyone else get this? Can I tell direct push to only use the cellular data connection? I know it is direct push because if I enable it the problem goes away. Please help!
Am I seriously the only one with this problem? Cause its drivin me nuts. When I turn wifi off, I want it to stay off. No suggestions?
push should automatically alternate between data and wifi. it gives wifi priority before data.

What what what? Your wifi turns on auto? Never heard such thing neither ever happened to me. Seems too odd since in the kaiser wifi only turns on when you activate via key combo or in the control panel! Don't u mean ur data conn is always switching on? Maybe it's cause of the rom you have!
uh use your imagination dude.
It automatically goes to wifi if it's on.
ChumleyEx, That's not the issue here.
The issue is that WiFi automatically turns on after a call, when it was OFF beforehand. JKingDev confused the issue in his OP.
The problem is not exclusive to the Kaiser either. My HTC Vox (WinMo 6.1 Standard) is doing the same thing.
Until reading this thread, I hadn't made the relationship between push activesync email and wifi being automatically turned on after a call. I still have yet to confirm that the issue exists without Push ActiveSync enabled.
One further peice of information - it only seems to be an issue after WiFi has been manually turned on at some stage of the phone's current power-on session.
i.e. If I reboot the phone and don't turn WiFi on manually, I can make/receive calls without Wifi turning on automatically.
Once I turn wifi on then off again, then make/receive a call, Wifi will automatically turn on after the call.
And it's very inconsistent as well, which makes this doubly frustrating. For example, I've just tried to replicate the issue using my examples above, and it's not happening now :-\
Perhaps it's only an issue after calls longer that 'x' seconds? Max call-time I tested was 13secs.

Are you on EDGE or 3G?
On EDGE while in a call the data will be put on hold. That could mean that if your call is long enough the push connection will timeout, and it will try to use Wifi to maintain connection (as the goal of push is for it to be constantly connected)?
Just thinking out loud, I've never used push myself.
Hello,
I'm experiencing the same problem since I "update" the Touchflow 3D with a communications tab. Before that I didn't noticed thi.
Symptom are exactly from the post here upper.
* When I'm in a call after few seconds.

I get this issue with the stock orange UK 6.1 ROM.... any ideas yet?

Wifi/Email Problems from Stand-by/Sleep Mode (Tytn II)

Hi,
My Tytn II seems to have problems waking up from stand-by and retrieving emails at via wifi connections. I have set up the send/receive schedule to 5 minutes. The only way I seem to be able to retrieve emails via wifi is to wake the phone up manually (eg. press buttons) or wait for a reminder/alarm to sound which wakes the phone up.
Interestingly it doesn't have any problem waking up from stand-by/sleep to retrieve emails via a cellular (3G/HSDPA) connection.
I've installed KaiserTweak and set up the following:
- "Battery Resume from Suspend": 90 seconds (Max)
- "Wifi Standby Mode": Disabled
When I enabled "Wifi Standby Mode", it retrieved emails on cue, but this consumed way too much battery unfortunately, so it isn't acceptable.
I would really appreciate any ideas on how I can get the Tytn II retrieving emails according to the schedule by waking itself up from stand-by/sleep.
Thanks very much,
Prembo
It's not gonna work for you unless you enable the wifi standby mode. How can it know if you have emails if it doesn't have a data connection? The 3G connection will stay active while the phone is in standby, and as such can grab the emails on cue. But by allowing the wifi go into standby when the phone is in standby, you're effectively turning off the internet connection altogether. Either have the wifi standby turned off, or have it retrieve by 3G.
My 3G/HSDPA connection doesn't remain on permanently either.
I have it set (using KaiserTweak) to disable Data Connections (3G/HSDPA) after 1 minute of use. So my 3G/HSDPA is off whilst in stand-by mode most of the time.
However, the email retrieve schedule wakes up the Data Connection and then retrieves email. It doesn't seem to be able to however to wake up the Wifi connection and retrieve emails.
Enabling "Wifi Standby Mode" permanently leaves wifi connection active even during standby, therefore draining the battery significantly.
But it seems to be a fairly straightforward thing to wake the wifi connection up (just as it does the cellular connection) based on the email retrieve schedule.
PS. I'm connecting to the work network via wifi and therefore don't have access to work emails via cellular network.

WI-FI Sleeping?

This is a problem I've noticed for quite a few months now, before the MIUI 12 update (possibly even saw it on 10).
The best way I can desribe it is the WI-FI connection seems to go to sleep randomly when the phone has been locked.
I won't get any notifications, I won't get any messages through facebook come through etc. The device still says it's connected to my home WI-FI network though. If I try to browse the web or do something else then it will try to do it instead of saying No Internet, it acts like it does have an internet connection (probably because it believes it's connected to a wi-fi network?) but will never succeed.
If I then turn WI-FI off and on again I'll then get bombarded with notifications and messages I've missed.
Is anybody else experiencing this and is there a solution? It's only a 2-second inconvenience to flick the WI-FI off and on, but it's an annoyingly regular occurence and more importantly I'm missing messages and notifications which could be important to me.
