I am not able to find the stay awake option in this custom rom. I really like the look of this rom but I use my phone as a clock both on my night stand and in my car. Am I just overlooking it or is it actually gone?

Its missing out of most 2.2.1 ROMs.
Download "battery booster" app from market. U can set it to whatever u want in it.
found this thread when searching for the same problem. the "stay awake" option is gone in stock rom, too, so it has nothing to do with custom roms. i think it's gone since 2.2 version.
the suggested "battery booster" app isn't quite the same, because it also keeps the screen on when not charging, and you will always have to manually toggle it off and on, which always needs severals touches to do.
i have found StayAwake (by runks) which offers a "Stay awake if plugged" option, which should resemble the behavior of the original "Stay awake" setting earlier android versions have. so far it works, but it's not the first app i am trying - the last one worked for a while but then after some hours the screen suddenly turned off despite being plugged. hope this one will work better.

Just flashed back to stock JF6 no more than 3 hours ago and it still had the stay awake option... Maybe you have a different "stock" that you're talking about?

Ive been having an issue with my WiFi randomly turning itself on. Ill turn it off to save battery, then check it 30-60 minutes later and its turned itself back on. Ive scanned through other threads and most people say that its from dock mode and to go into dock mode, then go to the settings and disable "auto connect to wifi". I dont have a dock and have never had it in dock mode, but I manually went into dock mode to check check the settings and I dont even have that option in the settings menu. I didnt seem to have the problem (or at least didnt notice it) until after I upgraded to ICS using the OTA update. Is there just a setting that Ive overlooked someplace where I can fix the problem, an app thats got permission to do it that I didnt know about, or is it just a bug thats baked into ICS? Btw, my phone is Locked, Stock, and Unrooted.
Noticed this yesterday on rumfloat4 as well

I have the same frustrating issue, locked and stock here, upgraded to ICS with the RUU. Sometimes it will stay off for several hours, sometimes not even an hour. I haven't been able to pinpoint which app is causing this.
I believe that it maybe an ICS issue.
I have done a complete factory reset on the phone three times, and network and wifi turn on at exactly midnight.
SO far spoken to HTC customer support.....lol
They advised me yo take back to retailer and let them examine it...wtf???

Check your Wi-Fi settings. 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.
Hope this helps.

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.
I am curious how ICS determines "sleep". Is it phone sleep of human sleep? I also wonder if it is somewhat tied into automatic time settings. Say for instance you lose your signal during sleep, does ICS re-set the time and that triggers Wi-Fi turning on based on going setting the phone into a different time zone momentarily?
Just throwing a couple things out there in hopes it helps to solve the mystery.

I believe in later versions of GB, there was a distinct sleep setting that was separate from simply turning off the screen after a certain amount of time. As far as I can see, ICS did away with this and just sets the phone to sleep after a certain amount of time, which inherently turns off the screen.
Is this happening on new phones as well as refurbished ones? Whatever the problem is, its becoming annoying enough for me to return this phone and keep my Inspire.
Sent from my HTC Vivid
Yep, GB did have sleep time settings. That's why I was curious as to how ICS determines sleep.
Look at the permissions on HTC Sync. They're pretty intrusive as far as Wi-Fi settings. It may be worthwhile to go into each app and trying to force stopping each one one at a time that changes the Wi-Fi state at will.
---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------
Something else you can try is to go into the usage counter and clear the data from the wi-fi tab. Don't use Wi-Fi for a period of time then check if there was any usage and if there was it would be listed which apps used the data and how much they used. Some apps even allow you to access the settings from there as well.
Juice Defender or similar apps should be able to keep it off when you want it off.
The Airplane Mode also should keep WiFi turned off (as well as data) as long as you don't need to take phone calls while you sleep. Not to mention, it saves on the battery if you're not charging at night.
if anyone still interest on this , i found the solution !
on ics you go to:
settings
WLAN
Advanced
WLAN frequency band
and uncheck the auto set radio to use only 2.4 or 5gh
thats all
Wifi keeps turning off during sleep...?

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..

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.
This morning my phone turned itself on. I thought it was a bit random, until I realised it was bang on 7am. Sure enough, the preset alarm then went off.
Anyone else noticed this? Pretty cool, like an old Nokia!
Funny though, I remember a while ago noticing some small battery drain when the phone is off. I thought it was a bit odd, so I suppose it's not actually fully 'off' when turned off....?

This only works with Fastboot enabled. If fastboot is unchecked in the power menu then the phone will remain off.

thanks for this. awesome. It powers on in airplane mode too. It then prompts whether you want to switch off phone, leave airplane on or turn data back on. what a fantastic feature

excelent find, work's even with fastboot disabled

Stock Rom (4.2)
This only works with Fastboot enabled.
You probably should mention that this is valid only for sense roms ...
The sense rom is not turning off-off (if fast-boot is active) ... it is more like a very low power state ... the kernel is still active . That why you can boot quickly back on - it is not a real boot.
On the AOSP and GE roms that is not working and the OFF is OFF ...

As per other posts, this works with Fastboot DISABLED. Interesting about sense, does this mean it impossible to actually turn the phone fully off? As mentioned, I have noticed battery drain when phone is supposedly off.
I think this is a pretty good feature though and something I've missed for years on my phone.
I've only got that feature working on sense with fastboot on ... maybe it is working with fb off also .. I really can not tell.
Anyway, if I really need my phone to be "off" and the alarm still to work, I'm using airplane mode ... the drain is negligible anyway in this mode.

I am running a stock bloat removed 4.2.2 rom and have tested this 3 different ways with fastboot disabled and it does not turn on. And it shouldn't. Disabling fastboot actually allows the phone to turn off. Fastboot enabled is a hibernation mode and when its alarm time it will power on in Airplane mode.
Just tested on TrickDroid 8, fastboot off, and the phone does power on in airplane mode as mentioned in other posts. I'm guessing it's similar to setting up the bios on a pc to boot a machine at a certain time.

I like to leave my HTC One cradles with blinkfeed running. Using Viper on 4.1, one could choose a setting to disable sleep when connected to power. This was never perfect, since, no matter what, it got dimmed after 10 minutes, but it was better than nothing. Is there any way with the 4.3 firmware to make this work (preferably with no screen dimming!)?

I'm new to the phone and still learning the ins and outs (and still on 4.1), but you could build a tasker profile to do what you're looking for pretty easily.

Thanks for the idea. Every once in a while I think of using tasker and never can get it to do what I want. In this case, I get the idea that I set a "plugged in" state condition, but the 'screen on ' action tells me to try the secure settings plugin, which seems even more impenetrable.

yeah - I could never get screen on to do what I wanted either. As a workaround, I set up a task that changed the display timeout to 23 hours - which is effectively the same thing.

The developer options is not viewable by default. I believe you have to tap your build number in about phone like 15 times to see the option.
