Wifi/Data Disconnecting on Screen Sleep

When my screen goes to sleep, my Wifi or my data connection stops (whichever one I'm using).
If I'm listening to the radio using Radio Time, the sound stops after the screen sleeps. An interesting thing to note is that if you go to the lock screen, it starts playing again. It seems like the screen just needs to be on. The problem seems to be limited to just certain applications because Pandora still plays after the screen turns off.
Another app, Android Web Desktop, which allows you to text and manage your files from the computer, doesn't work correctly either. Nothing loads while my screen is off but it starts loading once I turn my screen on.
I'm running on a Sprint HTC Hero with DamageControls v2.07.2 ROM for Android 2.1. I also have a Flan lockscreen. I don't know whether the problem is ROM related or what.
Does anybody know why this is happening and how I can fix this?

Please Help!

Make sure always on mobile data in settings is checked.

I just check the settings and I already had always on checked. Should I just wipe and see if the problem goes away? Am I the only one with this problem?

check the wifi sleep policy as well.
Settings>Wireless & Networks>Wifi Settings> [press menu] > Advanced >Wifi Sleep Policy
Setting it to never will make the wifi radio never disconnect, at the expense of battery, of course.

I have it too, although I sort of assumed it was by design. Makes for a pretty frustrating experience trying to use Gmote or Boxee Remote.

I'm still having the problem kinda. It seemed to not turn it off as fast. It stopped working after about 30 seconds in Android Desktop and RadioTime kept playing but was very skippy. Are you having this problem? I don't understand why certain app work and certain don't.

For problems with Gmote and Boxee Remote, this fixed my issue.

That was a useful suggestion. To go a bit further on this point. You can turn on/off your wifi (and more) by using applications like timeriffic when you really don't need it. Eg, when you're sleeping. Timeriffic changes some of your profiles based on time so it would be a great option to add to this setting change.

I use Juice Defender to do the same thing and I let it manage my mobile data connection. Helps stretch out the times between charges a little bit despite me using my phone very heavily.

Is WiFi on or off?

So I turn WiFi off when I leave home to go to work in the morning. See attached. It appears that WiFi is still on well after 9am. All the way up until I reboot the phone in the afternoon. Then is appears to be off until I turn it back on at home. Any insight?

go under wifi settings and make sure scanning always is turned off. that setting will make wifi stay on even if you turn it off.

On the picture you have, it's on.
To turn it off, swipe down from the status bar twice, and tap on the WiFi icon.
Or go to Settings, then Wi-Fi and slide Wi-Fi to the left

Thanks, I am fully aware on how to turn it off, and I do just that. My question is why does this show it was still on that whole time?

perfect. this seems to be it.

Also make sure that "Always allow Wi-Fi Roam Scans" is unchecked under Developer options.

Wifi is on all the time

I have checked everything and even the greenpower doesn't switch it off.
Anyone any idea ??

Stamina mode isn't supposed to turn off Wi-Fi when the screen is off, it just prevents apps from using Internet when the screen is off. Except for the apps that you select to stay active.

So is that normal?

Check if NFC is on. Turn it off.

Settings - WiFi - options - advanced - Uncheck that third option with something about always searching for Wifi.
I hope this solves it for you.

Thank you guys. Everything is like it should be…

Wifi off when screen off?

Anyone having this issue with their S6? Mine keeps knocking itself off of my Wifi whenever the screen turns off, and consequently removes itself from Wifi calling. I already checked the Wifi sleep settings and even went into the service menu and turned off Wifi power save. Anyone have a fix? Can't text without wifi calling at home and I'm having to leave my screen on constantly so it doesn't turn off.

I've done that already, and it does it even plugged in.

s5 won't stay on wifi when screen is turned off.

This doesn't always happened but pretty much daily I will turn on my screen after being home for hours on my home wifi only to find out it has been on 4g lte the whole time. I have smart switch on so I don't know what else to do. Does anyone else have this problem? thanks

I think the problem IS smart switch. try turning it off. Another thing you could look at is in the advanced Wi-Fi settings, there is an option called "Keep Wi-fi on during sleep" Make sure that is set to 'Always'

I answered this from my tablet I thought but I guess it didn't take. I turned off smart switch and it seems to have helped but now I have to remember to switch it myself. This never happened with my s3 or s4. But thanks
