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.

Hello,
Coming from WM and WP7 i am crashed with so many apps for my Note.
I am searching for a way to disable the WiFi when the phone goes to standby.
Maybe one where i can set the time between screen is going black and disabling WiFi?
Any hint or guess?
Thanks in advance
Juice Defender will do that for you:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.latedroid.juicedefender&feature=search_result
But you don't need a special app for that. It can be also done via WiFi advanced menu:
Settings/Wireless and network/Wi-Fi settings
Once in Wi-Fi settings, click Menu button (the bottom left one), then click Advanced, and you'll see Wi-Fi sleep policy. Click on that and select 'when screen turns off'.
You're done.

Oh yes, stupid me, the menu button at left bottom corner!!!
On every page it changes the options available, great!
Thankyou very much, the battery drain was significant with WiFi allways ON.
wow I never know it's have this option...
I think android need to display some hint to us that some page have more config menu lol.

Agree with you. I also found this option in he forum. It shouldn't be hidden like that

It's a good option to have, but I find there may be a considerable lag between screen off and WiFi off. That may be just after changing the settings, I have yet to see. You can compare by looking a the battery usage, and clicking on the graph to make it full screen. Then you see the screen and WiFi 'on' periods below.
I found that by enabling the option to "when screen turns off" it drains the battery much much more then when it was on "never". Could this be because it is always searching for a mobile network when display is off?
I find it much easier to use the notification bar to switch off wi-fi just before I turn the screen off. It's become such a habit that it doesn't bother me. At least I know that it is 100% off and is not draining my battery.

Two things:
1. I have read that too. I am not sure. Now I use Llama to turn off mobile data when I am Home or Work, where my WiFi networks are. It also turns off WiFi when I leave either place, because I always forget. I think that may help.
2. When I set WiFi to sleep when the screen is off as an attempt to increase battery life, I get the issue in the battery graph that WiFi does not seem to always turn off. I would have expected the blue bar for WiFi to be off when the blue bar for the screen is off, but it just seem on most of the time. Sometimes it does turn off, however.
This happens whether I let Llama set it, or I set it manually. Seems flawed to me.
Same here, wifi never turn off with screen. have to disable manually, otherwise battery drain.

You can try "Green Power" app
I use this app to manage the WIFI and Mobile Network
It really saves the battery...
thx, i'm trying it...
There is something you can edit in some database. I cannot find the post again.
I have solved the problem by getting Llama to turn off the WiFi 1 minute after the screen is off (that can be adjusted, obviously), and turn it on when the screen turns on. WiFi usage goes down significantly. I have yet to have a 'slack' day, so am not sure of the overall effect.
It also keeps the WiFi on if charging because I have set SugarSync to only sync while connected to mains power (a really useful feature). That way I get the best of both worlds.
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.

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.
Guys, what is this? Anyone know how it works? There is limited info on HTC's site.
Does it only shut off the mobile data? Will I stop receiving email when it kicks on? What turns it off? Unlocking the screen, or does it read the accelerometer?
Anyone know? It was on by default. Phone seems fine, but I don't want to stop receiving email whenever my phone sits for a while.

YES???
No really when you phone sits for longs periods without use it will turn off mobile data wifi etc... Once you turn on the screen it will turn everything back on. This is the new smart dormant mode or night mode for HTC. I hope imagine its has some type of adaptive algorithm that will know when to conserve power and when not too but I'm sure I'm reaching too far.
I'm not sure if it has a smart algorithm...from what I've felt is simply turns off the data connection around half an hour after I turn my screen off. So far though it hasn't affected my use of the phone though I guess the real difference should come when you sleep at night.

I read that you can long press on the notification, and disable the app and it would actually still be turned on.
Just a question... How did you even get to show an NFC icon on your device? I myself wanted to at least show that icon when my NFC is turned on to no avail. This has been bothering my for weeks already as I am afraid that I might be having a broken NFC chip on my device as everytime I toggle it I don't see any N icons at the statusbar at all.

For NFC to work, you have to turn off Power Saver. I learnt this the hard way when I thought my NFC chip wasn't working as well, was halfway to the shops for an exchange when I thought, let's try this one last thing
I don't have any NFC notifications though.

I don't think that's accurate, unless it only turns nfc off at a certain battery threshold.
Tested mine @ 27% battery and it still makes the bloopy nfc sound, with power saver on. I also do not have any nfc notifications, just the sound.

The NFC icon only shows up on AT&T(possibly T-Mobile/Sprint) configured devices. If you're installing your ROMs with the International settings, it won't show up.
EDIT: Also the NFC antennae itself is located on the top quarter of the phone, so if you're trying to make contact with another NFC device or a tag, you'll need to position it there.
Ohh ok So it's another AT&T exclusive lol! Finally this made my mind at ease now... Was really wondering why no icon shows up yet logcat doesn't show any errors at all. :good:

To remove the "Power Save" notification (without root), long press on the notification, tap "App info", then force close. The notification will go away until you either reach 14% battery life (at which the Power Save turns on), or if you restart your phone. Then just force close it again.
Xposed module to remove the NFC icon completely!

I just wrote a Xposed module which can remove the NFC Icon (I only tested on HTC One X, but should work on HTC One). The NFC Icon is complete GONE! You could check out on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467970
To remove the nfc icon settings>more and untick the nfc box..
There is an app in the play store that will remove the power saver icon if you mean that you want to use the power saver, but not have the icon in the status bar. Otherwise, just go into settings aswell and turn it off. Settings>power
Or did I totally misunderstand the thread?
Edit: the app is called 'jmz power saver disabler' again, this is if you want power saver running, but not the icon visible. Otherwise just turn off power saver under settings.

I don't think he wanted to turn these features off, just doesn't want the notification(s) taking up room in his status bar. The NFC icon can be turned off (if you're rooted), by navigating to /system/customize/ACC/default.xml - open this with a text editor. Find <item type="integer" name="nfc_show_icon">1</item> and change 1 to 0, then reboot. Now NFC can be on, and the icon won't be there. Haven't found an easy way like this for the Power Saver notification, but like mrrick said, there is an app to do it, as well as a few other options in Dev
Edit: whoaaa this thread was way dead, man...
Haha.. Whoops

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'
