I have been trying downloading data file for the game use the installed game apps. However, when ever i dl halfway and the screen went standby, the wifi will be cut off. Is there any setting that i can set to prevent this?
In your wireless networks settings, under wifi settings, turn sleep to never

You'll find the sleep policy settings under advanced wifi settings

Hey all,
Dumb question here but first android phone so need your help.
I only have 500mb of data allowance with vodafone UK and just recently got a text from them saying im near my limit for the month.
Being at home with the phone I use an app called quick settings to disable mobile data and then enable wifi.
But just used network monitor app and it says that I've not used any wifi.
Can anyone help with what Im doing wrong as dont want to go over the allowance. Coming from a BB never had this issue as they ZERO apps worth downloading
Cheers
I use Network Counter.
If you want to know how much different programs waste, you can look at TrafficStats.

Thanks will give both a go. My worrying thing is android market doesnt seem to use the wifi when downloading even with mobile data disabled.
Maybe your wifi sleep policy is wrong, go to settings - network & wireless and go to wifi/wireless settings and tap lower left touch button at bottom of phone and select advanced once in that menu you should see wifi sleep policy select that and set it to never, it means the wifi is always on even when phone is locked. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the 2 programs suggested. Seems network monitor didn't show anything correctly.
With wifi on and data disabled your 2 suggestions show wifi kicking in.
Just gotta remember to switch on before downloading!!!
Thanks again
Hi all!
Is it just my unit? Wifi can only be on or off. Other settings simply don't work (wifi off when sleep, wifi on when charging).
Anyone else experiencing the same?

Theres an app called 'Wifi keep alive' which allows you set defaults ie: always on/off whilst in sleep mode/on whilst charging and its available from Play store.
Hope this helps
Applications aside, all that can be set up in advanced settings in WiFi section of settings menu. Just like on all my previous Android handsets. But on my RAZR I it simply doesn't work.

I have an issue where WiFi will turn itself on even if I had it off in settings. It has happened when WiFi and mobile data are off and when only mobile data is on WiFi will turn itself on. I only noticed this when I had both radios off to save battery but turned screen on to check the time and saw it on. Anyone else had this issue or knows of a fix. I am stock, unrooted and on 4.1.2. Thanks

Do you mean keep WiFi on during sleep? If I leave WiFi that doesn't bother me. It's when it's turned off, it turns itself back on.

I accidently turned off my browser bar when a pop-up intruded an email I was typing. I have no idea what the browser bar setting is but I cannot connect to any wifi network now. So I open up settings and clicked on the browser bar tab and it fc's settings every time. I tried a reboot, and clearing cache in recovery but it still won't let me turn the browser bar on. Any ideas here?
Not that I was at all impressed with the wifi capabilities on this device. My connectivity has been nothing short of pathetic and I've followed every rumored fix to no avail. I think I'm ready to try a factory data reset before my 14 days are up.
Again, any help is appreciated.

Exact same issue here.
This phone has the best WiFi I have had with any phone. There is a dead spot at my work wifi that all phones I have had would lose connection. So far, I have yet to lose connection with my 3 there.

It's very strange that the browser bar would have any effect on wifi connectivity to begin with. I've had it disabled for a while and haven't had any wifi problems.
Samsung has a bunch of performance/bug issues they seriously need to iron out. It's almost like they don't beta test these devices before they churn them out.
Is it you change to make WiFi and mobile data go to sleep when screen is off ,can't remember which things I need to change .Thanks for any help

The wifi shuts off if there is no signal available, and the sleep mode function for data should still be there under the power tab. If these don't help, try doing it manually with widgets or quick settings (most reliable if you do it manually).
