Hi all
My Wifi stays on during sleep even though in settings I have this option set to never.
Anyone else experienced this? And is there a way to make the Wifi go of when n7 is in sleep mode?
Thanks
Chris

Could use a battery saving app and see if it kills wifi

Thanks I might look at that, it's not a big issue was more curious to see if any one else's acts the same way.

Have you actually given it time to turn off? Not sure if it is 5 or 10 minutes but for me it eventually turns off.
EDIT: I am set to "Only when plugged in"
Or there is a build prop tweak that suspends it in sleep like pm.sleep_mode=0 or close to that

The N7 wifi stays active for several minutes after the unit goes to sleep - even if you have it set to be only on when plugged-in or off when sleeping.
This is a really stupid design so I use my wifi widget to just turn it off before putting the unit to sleep.
There's most likely a setting somewhere to tweak to get the wifi to turn off immediately when the tablet sleeps.
Yes, the built in wifi off at screen off sometimes takes minutes and sometimes never turns it off.
Green Power, Tasker, Settings Profile, etc, all market apps will turn off wifi for you on screen off.
I use Tasker myself.

Is anyone else having this issue as well I can get rid of it I've tried everything to what happens is sometimes when my phone is asleep tonight wake it up it's completely unresponsive, the screen turns on but I can't do anything other than hit the power button on and off and volume other than that I am stuck on the same screen. Also when I wake up in the morning after charging my phone overnight it is always frozen like this but even worse when it has been more than a few hours. Could this be related to using an alternative home? I have used both launcher pro and adw with the same results. I have never had this with any of my other android phones. Any ideas?

Take it to Verizon and get a switchout.
Before I do that I would like to make sure that it isn't software based otherwise I will just run into the same issue.

I haven't experienced that issue, but something similar. About once every 2 days my phone won't wake at all. The notification light seems to be working, but pressing the power/lock button doesn't wake the phone, screen stays black and I have to pull the battery. If I call the phone while it's in this state, nothing happens on the Bionic's side, but the phone I calling from hears 4 rings before going to voicemail. I've uninstalled Widget Locker and Home Switcher to see if either of them are the culprit.
awesome, thanks
I would do a factory rest and see if it was a software problem first.

Do you have in pocket detection on under settings? Try turning that off. I was having major issues like that when I was using that setting.

Good advice, the pocket sensor on this phone is borked.

I have sync off, maps off, gps off, location off... and wifi set to "never on" during standby mode...
But... it takes a good 15 minutes before wifi actually turns off, which wastes a little bit of battery life
Any way around this? Eg, make it turn off wifi quicker?

Uhmmm well maybe if you were able to provide more info like rom, rooted or not, kernel etc. we'll be able to help you out more.
As of now i can tell that is not right, mine goes off immediately.
Yes, more info would help however try this go to your settings and in the WiFi settings forget your network then restart your router and re-boot your tablet off/on (not stand by) then go to the wireless settings log back in to your network.

Wow, why do people care about such small things? It's not like it drains half of your battery.

Well, because it is not a normal thing to happen. So if it is not normal, it is a sign of a possibly bigger problem that needs to be addressed. If he is on a custom rom, then the dev would be notified to see if its on his end, to fix in the next release. And those are just two reasons why people "care about such small things". Welcome to xda. This is where all the small things are fixed. Its kinda the point.
Are you sure that's not normal? All my android devices take 10-15 min to turn the WiFi off.
It'll have a negligible effect on your battery life but if you really want it to turn off faster, the green power app on the store allows you to turn off WiFi instantly.
That's normal. If you have tasker or other similar app you can set it to turn off WiFi on lock or if you have a magnetic case, sit it to turn off WiFi when it's closed.

Don't think that's normal, wifi always turns off almost instantly for me
wifi turns off almost instantly here too. 10-15 minutes to turn off wifi is not normal in any situation. op, maybe a little background? stock or rooted? rom/kernel? mods flashed? themes?
The WiFi on my N7 turns off instantly. It did when it was stock unrooted, it did when it was stock rooted, and it does with Paranoid Android. Not sure what the issue may be. Unless you are running a different kernel.
It is normal.
I'm on CM10 and in the advanced WiFi menu is an option to alter the default WiFi timeout from 15mins to other values. I'm unsure if that option is only available in CM10 but I think its also available in stock, can someone on stock clarify that.
The advanced menu is definitely available on stock 4.1.2 I'm just unsure if the timeout is configurable or not.
But WiFi always takes some minutes to disconnect in case you decide to hit the power button to put the device on standby and then 2secs later decide to use it again.
Test it by just hitting the power button and 10secs later hit it again and look at the WiFi icon, it will show its connected. Now do it again but wait 20mins and then hit power and look at the icon and it will show its disconnected.
I guess the timeout can be affected by apps that use WiFi when the screen is off and how quickly the device sleeps when the screen is off etc.
Stock, rooted. Using Notification Toggle, my wifi turns off immediately when I touch the wifi toggle icon.

Is the concept of this thread that hard to the understand...
...of course it turns off immediately if you hit a toggle, that's the point, this post is about the timeout value, ie the WiFi timeout when the screen is turned off.
I have ARHD GE 4.0 and whenever the screen is off, the network disconnects until the next time I turn it on. That means I don't get any notifications from Whatsapp and other apps, unless I check them out manually.
Now, how do I fix it? I've read over the web that it's a well known issue, the thing is I've had this carrier for like a year and haven't had this problem, till I changed my carrier and it started right away; I thought the problem was at the new carrier and I changed it to another one, yet I've had the same problem again.
Now, if the problem is in the phone, how come I haven't had it with the first carrier? Thanks.
Check the power saver option in the phone settings. You need to turn off power saver then disable the "turn network off when screen is off" option and turn power saver back on again (or not, if you want).

I don't have it because I have a Google Edition rom.
Oh. Sorry. My bad.
Hmm do you have any battery saving application? Battery guru, juice defender or something? These sort of things tend to do that. If not check your phone settings. As i remember from my Galaxy nexus there was a setting in network settings that deactivated data /wifi when the screen was off.
In any case it sounds to me like you have a battery saving option enabled somewhere on your phone to cause this kind of behavior.
If that's not it, I'm stumped and have no idea what else it could be.

I don't have any battery saving apps.
It sounds to me as well, the thing is I haven't had that problem till I changed my carrier, so if there was an option enabled somewhere, how come it started working only when I changed my carrier?
Hey so my night clock is set but doesn't activate unless I reach over and swipe the edge. Which defeats the purpose. Then it turns on and stays on but will not just turn on at the set time by itself. Am I missing something or is it just a random glitch?
Thanks ya'll

I have not had that problem, so it does sound like a random glitch. It should just be coming on. Are you completely stock?

Yes
Yes it is.
I'm going to try turning it off and turning it back on tonight before the set time and seeing if that works but not hopeful on that

OK. The only other thing I would mention, is the clock won't show automatically unless you swipe, when the battery is low - I believe at 15%. Do you have any power saving modes on by chance?
Sent from my SM-G925V using XDA Free mobile app
I believe so
I can't remember my settings on that. I'll have to double check but my battery is never that low when I'm sleeping. In fact, a lot of the time it's plugged in.
So, I want an app that will turn the screen off after 30 mins even if I'm using it or watching Netflix or gaming or whatever.
This is because I have had fall asleep with my phone on before and the screen was on for like 6 hours cos I was in contact with it. So I want it to turn off no matter what after 30min.
Any app to do this? The simpler, the better.

Thank you, but I'm looking for a way to turn off the screen after 30m ALWAYS, without the need of setting a clock every time.
