is there a fix for wifi going to sleep

I have tried all current fix's i have found on this site and none of them work is there some thing i am missing thanks .

The spare parts setting works well for me, not 100% of the time, but enough that it doesnt bother me.

I'm looking too....
Spare parts fix did't help me either

Grab Settings Profile Lite from the market. Set WiFi off when Screen off in the rules. Now Wifi will turn on and off with the screen. Fixed all my WiFi issues.
I also have Spare Parts set to Never.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that is exactly what the OP doesn't want.
I think he wants the wifi to stay on when he powers the screen back on, instead of having it disconnect when the screen turns back on.
The Nook I believe loses the connection when you turn on the screen.

Thats how the NC works by default.
Spare parts did not work for me at all. I set it to always on and it still shuts off.

That is what this does. When the screen is on, the WiFi is on. When the screen is off, the WiFi is off. It got rid of all my intermittent issues.

How long have you been running this fix? I ran it for 10 days or so and started having issues, basically it quit working.(would turn off but not back on). Are you using it with spare parts? I am still looking for a permanent solution.

^ I have had it for probably a week and a half. I do also use Spare Parts with WiFi Sleep set to Never.
I also have my Nook set to DHCP, and my DD-WRT router set to give a "Static DHCP" to my Nook.

Thanks, will look at this when I have time.

Wifi Lock works for me...
Ok.. I read all the posts I could find and installed Wifi Lock, this is the only one I tested and works great for me. (Tested using Pandora radio)
This is what I did:
1- Install Wifi Lock (Android Market)
2- Reboot Nook Color
3- Go to your Extras and run the app. (It doesn't have a user interface, it only displays a message every time you click on it: Default / Never)
4- If you are using Advanced Task Killer (or any other) make sure you deselect Wifi Lock and add it to your Ignore List (I did it right away, I guess that's a VERY important step)
I just tested it several times for about an hour using Pandora radio, I have no idea how much it will drain the battery... If something goes wrong I'll let you know...

[Q] NC Rooted 1.1 WiFi not reconnecting after sleep

My rooted NC 1.1 has stopped reconnecting automatically to my wifi network after sleep. It had been working fine for a while so I am not sure what changed. To get it to reconnect I either need to toggle the wifi on/off or select the network using wifi settings. After that it is fine. If I just put it to sleep and turn it back on after a minute or so it connects fine. The problem occurs after several minutes (say 10) of sleep.
I have deleted all my network connections, rebooted and then connected to my network with no change. Again this had been working fine in its current state.
I then reimaged it to a known working 1.1 image using CWR but the wifi issue remains.
This is more nuisance then anything else but it sure is annoying.
Look forward to any suggestions since I dont know what else to try.
Bob Silver
NC 1.1 rooted 1.1ghz
Ipad 3g 4.2.1
Iphone 4 IOS 4.1 jailbroken

same problem here, sometimes it works but after waiting too long it doesn't reconnect. I think after being asleep so long it just fails to refresh/rescan. Kind of silly they dont have a rescan/refresh button in the wifi settings...

You can try going into Settings/Wireless/Wifi Settings/hit the menu again and go to Advanced, set the sleep option to Never. This helps but it still shuts off the wifi after being locked for a few minutes.
The fix I use is called "SoftLocker Free" in the market. This basically prevents it from sleeping, but still allows the screen to turn off. It draws more power from the battery since the wifi stays on, but I've had good luck with it.

Strange question, but do you have AT&T? I've seen a ton of folks with non-rooted nooks have this issue on the official Barnes and Noble forum, all with Uverse.

No i am not using att.
Thanks for the tips so far.
Bob

ZTE blade has a similar issue, there's a couple of workarounds.
1. Keep the device awake when screen is off (holds wifi connection but uses battery power)
2. Automatically toggle wifi when you turn the screen back on.
I've made an app that does (1.) when you leave wifi on and turn the screen off. (similar to softlocker, but it automatically grabs the lock when wifi is left on and has other features). Search for "Advanced wifi lock"
If you want (2.) grab "Blade wifi fix".

This seems to be common among Android devices judging by the sheer volume of WiFi fix and Wifi lock applications in the market. Now, we just have to figure out which one works better with NookColor. Free would be better of course

Mine does it as well - WiFi on after waking up. Can stay awake for 10 minutes not connecting, bus as soon as I'll go to wireless settings, I can see it obtaining IP immediately. I also noticed it goes away from time to time and comes back by itself.

NC, CM7, Dalingrin OC kernel.. Sleep of Death

CWM 3.2.0.1
CM7 Nightly 131

Sleep of Death-
Sometimes the screen will remain black when trying to wake the device. I haven't been able to find a pattern to the problem, though I think it has something to do with the kernel. It seems completely random.
This has happened on every nightly I've used, which is why I think it's related to the kernel.
Has anyone found a fix?

Not sure to what the cause is. However, for me I noticed that every time I left wifi on and put my nook to sleep I would get sod anytime after an hr. So now I manually disconnect wifi every time I put my nook to sleep, and I have not once experienced another sod. There are some people that say the latest nightlies have fixed sod but other report there still there so I guess it varies.
I'm currently on n125 with dal's 6/30 oc kernel.

The problem still occurs with the recent nightlies.
It's weird, last night I left it in sleep mode with wifi turned on, and it powered up fine this morning.
A few hours later, I put it in sleep mode, set it down for a minute, then tried to use it again. It wouldn't wake up. From what I can tell, it doesn't matter what amount of time passes.
I'll keep trying the wifi trick you mentioned. If disabling wifi does the trick, then that will narrow down the problem quite a bit.
Thanks for the tip!

Yup, it looks like turning wifi off before it sleeps does the trick. 48 hours later and no SOD.

Great, thanks for the recommendation.

If you are looking for a free solution to do this, the application Setting Profiles Lite allows you to set exactly one rule.
Create a profile with wifi off. Create a rule to set the wifi off profile when the screen is off.

Details there if anyone wants to try it, works great. I used it on stock ROM, now that I have Tasker on my tablet I use it instead, but all the same.

I'm experiencing the SOD on CM 7.1 RC1... so it's not limited to the nightly's.
Has anyone escalated to the CM devs yet?

I think I have found a temp fix for the SOD, doubled my battery life, and increased my bandwidth when tethered. I am no expert at any of this, but after I installed DroidWall from the market and used the "white list" mode enabling only the apps I wanted to use the network I no longer get SOD. For example I am using wifi tether on my galaxy s in infrastructure mode with droidwall on my NC only allowing XDA app access to the internet.
I also have it installed on my galaxy and only have Linux kernel and applications with root accessesing data. I have gotten more than 8 hours on the galaxy without having to charge. Now I am able to have it tethered to my NC all day and neither device needs charging.
Heck maybe its a placibo effect maybe not.
Running CM7.1 RC1
Now if I can figure out why I lost the ability to mount my NC mass storage on the PC after using the new USB host mode and playing with the wiimote. Go figure

I've also been seeing SOD almost every time I put the NC to sleep for an extended period of time (longer than an hour). Also running 7.1 RC1. Weird thing is that it's been within the last 2 weeks that it's been happening. I've tried the Setting Profiles workaround listed above but I'm not sure if I set up the rules correctly so we'll see what happens

The setting profiles workaround didn't seem to work. I tried switching out my almost full 8gb sd card for a 16 gb sd card and after putting it to sleep overnight, it came back on immediately. Would sd card memory have anything to do with it?

I have also found AutomateIt (free market app) to work well for setting triggers and actions... i.e.
Power Plugged In -> Set Screen Off Timeout 30 min
Power UnPlugged ->Set Screen Off Timeout 2 min
Screen Off -> Set WiFi State Off (delay 5 min)
Screen On -> Set WiFi State On (no delay)

Just my $0.02... but a profile/setting switcher is not a "fix" for the SOD... it's a work around (and an ineffective one at that). The underlying problem still exists, so nothing has been fixed, we're just maneuvering around it.
I'm going to work on something that logs to a remote file and let it run for a few days. I'm hoping I can catch some data around what is going on immediately prior to the lock up.
Also, sorry for the bump.

[Q] Wifi & Mobile Data Issue (ICS)

Ever since upgrading to ATT ICS, my WiFi and Mobile Data connections both are turned on during the night. During the day, I don't run either. When I am at home, I use WiFi and then turn WiFi off and plug in the charger before I sleep. When I wake up in the morning, WiFi and Mobile Data are turned ON. This happens constantly for me.
The second thing I tried was not putting the phone on the charger for the night. Come the next morning, WiFi is ON but Mobile Data remained off.
Something is triggering WiFi and Mobile Data to automatically turn on. I can't seem to find the setting that is allowing this to happen.
With GB, I never had this issue. If I recall correctly, GB had a setting for the sleep period of the phone. I don't remember much else of what was adjustable in that menu and I can't remember if I set anything in there for GB and data. I cannot find anything remotely like that in ICS. ICS is bloody annoying me right now with these quirks.
I wish I could downgrade back to GB right now so I don't have to deal with data turning on during the course of the night.......

If you want to go back to gb look under the development tab for return to GB from ics. It's down a ways. Not sure what to tell you about the other issues but to try and reflash ics.

Try Airplane Mode
Sounds like you have some app trying to make a connection to run an update. It's turning on WiFi and/or the Mobile Data connections. I'll check mine tonight to see what happens.
Try turning on the Airplane mode when you go to bed. Hold down the power button and select the Airplane Mode option. If that doesn't keep the radios off, something is really wrong.
I sometimes use the Airplane mode at night to conserve the battery, but since you're charging, that's not an issue.

I found the thread. Thanks. I just need to read about unlocking the bootloader now before proceeding. The only downside of downgrading is I will lose the ICS radio which is giving me such good signal strength. Before in my room at home, I would get 1 bar, now I get 2 or 3. LULz.

This happened since day 1 of upgrading to ICS. The only software that I installed were some games and utilities that I had on GB. I never had an issue with either data connection turning on.
I might try another flash of ICS but that would mean running it for a night without the downloaded software for a couple nights and then installing each one by one, night by night.
I can use airplane mode but not for long term. I need to be able to receive calls from work when issues arise during the 2nd and 3rd shifts.
This only happens at night. It never happens during the day which makes me believe something is happening during the phone sleep time. And there's no setting that I can find for the phone sleep time like GB. Grr.....

Why not just leave data on if u don't mind me asking. Can't be using that much data really

Yep I have the same issue.
I have observed the data icon appear on the stroke of midnight. It takes three attempts to keep it off till the next time I use it, or when the damn thing turns back on at 23:59:59.
Spoke to HTC support, they advised to return it to retailer for them to examine it....WTF...lol

We have two threads on this issue of WiFi and/or Data turning on at midnight. When I first found the missing voice dialer problem, I e-mailed HTC support. They responded to my e-mail and then a member of their escalation team called me. They recognize that this is an ICS upgrade issue. Of course, they don't know when it will be fixed.
If you have not already done so, log into HTC.com, go to Support and send an e-mail describing the problem. They need as much feedback as we can give them to get HTC and/or Google to fix these problems.
I am not surprised that the ICS upgrade broke some things, but the number of things surprises me.

Check your setting. Drop the drop bar and enable Wi-Fi connection then touch the bar next to the off-on switch. Touch the icon next to the home icon on the bottom of the phone and click on advanced. See the screen shots.

Too bad. I noticed mine came on the first night after I installed ICS. Took awhile to find the settings I posted. When I found the settings and clicked on the one in the picture I never noticed Wi-Fi come on on its own since.

So I finally got around to trying Airplane mode. WiFi still kicks on overnight while plugged in.
vivid x2 - I had that checked to "Never" and I still have WiFi and Mobile Data coming on at night.
brucegil & FPV-GT - I will submit a support email ticket. I'm surprised there aren't more of us on here that are having this issue.
syrkel - I don't want either WiFi or Mobile Data on. If I'm not using it, why have it activated? All I need during the night is 2G voice so I can respond to work issues that may arise.

Just throwing another thing to look into. Try to reset the data counter and check it every few hours to see what apps are using the wi-fi data? Some of the apps even allow you to access the app settings from there as well. Check some of the app permissions and try disabling a few apps at a time that allow changes to wi-fi settings.

what a coincidence. i was just jacking around on my phone in class and found the advanced wifi option and there is a setting to keep wifi on during sleep. it has three options: always, only when plugged in, and never. hope this helps

Try installing a juice defender. It turns off data when your screen is off automatically. Also, (maybe only in the paid versions) you can set a night schedule for it to disable connectivity for a set time automatically. I have mine disable all data connections and go to silent mode from 12:30 to 8:30.

I tested this last night. Before I went to bed, I turned off WiFi (Data remained on). On the WiFi advanced settings I had the Keep Wi-Fi on During Sleep setting to "Always," which is the opposite of what people here have mentioned. I plugged in the charger. However, I have my Vivid set to remain on while on the charger. So it technically never went to sleep. (Makes a nice night light.) At 2:30 a.m. when I woke up, the WiFi was not on.
Tonight I will keep the same settings, but I will not put it on the charger (I'm testing the 3400 mAh Mugen extended battery). I will see if the WiFi comes on during the night.

I wonder if this is part of Googles data collection. I have gone through 3 vivid phones in the last 2 weeks (long story). I have seen this problem happen with no apps other than what came with the phone. My wifes phone (another vivid) does the same thing. If the phone is turned off for the night, turning the phone back on has the same results (mobile data is on). This seems to be a random problem.
When you allow Google's locaton service part of the message says that you are allowing Google to collect data even when no apps are running.
Just a thought.

I've been trying to figure out what's causing it...see my last couple posts here.

Mine does to, but I don't have it set to "always", since I kind of prefer it that way. I'll give it a shot to see what the results are. Do you notice any difference between the two settings, as far as how long it stays active and on?

FYI - "Always on" seems to be working fine for me. I turned my screen off about an hour ago, and just connected into the system via Cerberus. In the past, wifi would have shut off within a few minutes and I would get a connection timeout warning. So maybe your unit is having issues with it. I've also only lost MAYBE 1% in battery power, so I think I will leave mine in this state as opposed to disabling wifi on sleep.

I have this problem on some of my devices on 1 of my wife access points but not the other. I believe I could possibly tweak some settings on the access point as I don't believe it is the android device. I use an app called WIFI Fixer and that keeps things working.

Does keeping wifi "always on" adversely affect your battery?

Yes. How much depends on how many apps you have set for auto-updates, I suppose. If you're running several games and social networking apps and they're set for auto-updates, you'll experience a battery drain from them checking for updates every 5 minutes. How much, I can't say. I still don't have my Nexus 7. But if your device drops off the WiFi signal, those apps will know that there is no data connection and not try to update until there is one.

Not to change the subject of the thread, but if I see one more <sigh> I'm going to snap.
Also, OP, why do you need WiFi to be always on? If you can't live without it try: http://bit.ly/MdurdU

As I mentioned, "always on" is working fine for me. Tested it over a period of a few hours. Even moved from one AP to another (ie: work to home), and it auto joined the new wlan.
Battery drain is very minimal in my case. Maybe 0.5-1% an hour, if that.

Yeah but then the apps can't update. IMHO, if you don't want constantly-updating apps, don't enable them to.. If they are checking as often as you think, I would find a different app which gives you what you want but doesn't do that sillyness..
I keep Wi-Fi on 24/7 on all my devices. GPS and BlueTooth too.
I *REFUSE* to let my device "run my life". I find a way to make my battery life happy, and still enjoy my devices. I disable all of the other senseless crap like Facebook or FriendStream, or bloatware-apps.. I don't EVER use an app like ATK or JuiceDefender, or if I do, I only use it instantly to kill an app and then I make it kill itself too. In my 3+ years experience with Android and 30+ devices, I've found that a LOT of apps will TRY to restart even if you kill them. Imagine ATK killing an app, it restarting, ATK auto-killing it again, it restarting again, ATK re-killing it AGAIN, loop()... get my point? Uninstall the problem app and/or find a similar one which doesn't treat your device like it's own playground..

Now rooted and still trying... still keeps auto-turning-off !

This might be a defect in your units. I have gone many, many hours (12+) with my unit in standby mode without it losing wifi connection. It will also continue to sync with email, etc. during this time (and provide audio notifications).
I only lose .5-1%/hour, so I've left it "always on".

I'm having the same issue. On overnight sleep, the wifi is off when I turn it on. It won't reconnect until I toggle wifi on and off. Nothing I've tried so far has worked. Little worried its not as widespread of an issue as I thought it would be.

Since mine has worked flawlessly (stock rom) for very long periods of sleep with an active wi-fi connection, I would have to believe you have a defect in yours. Either that, or a problematic AP.
