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.
Solution , for me
http://www.pocketables.com/2013/10/...ing-trouble-using-certain-apps-over-wifi.html
Turn off WiFi optimization .
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.
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.
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
I have time triggered profiles which are working fine every time. For example set the wifi on at the morning.
I have profiles from the Tasker wiki to tun on wifi when I am at home, however if my screen is off for a longer time they are not working. So I turn on the screen and after that I see that my wifi is turning on if I am at home.
So this misbehaving is related to offscreen state for sure.
I have CM13 on my OnePlus One.
I have the same problem. it seems the system goes into deep sleep and cannot scan or connect to Wi-Fi from it, although Tasker does turn Wi-Fi on.
I tried to work around by making it vibrate 1 seconds before turning on Wi-Fi, but it's still not very reliable....
Any suggestions?

Turn the screen on for a second and turn it off again.
If Tasker can't do it by itself, the Secure Settings plugin can do it.

so there is no other way than to turn the screen on? I don't really want to do this, since the phone might accidentally do something when this happens and it is the pocket

Exclude Tasker from any battery saving feature of your phone.

If it's locked, it probably won't do anything.

it is already 'not optimized', the only thing left is the integrated power saving feature of Tasker itself, but I want to keep it as it is.
The phone is not locked, so when the screen is on, it might accidentally do something in the pocket.
In terminal emulator, type this:
su
dumpsys deviceidle whitelist +net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Should be good to go... [emoji6]
Edit: fixed package name for Tasker

may I ask what this does? excluding tasker from battery optimization isn't the same thing?
It adds Tasker to the list of apps excluded from Doze... I believe "optimized" refers to App Standby...which is different from Doze.

I have a task at "device boot" dumpsys deviceidle disable shell command. This completely disables doze. I added a led notification to the profile which contexts become true if am at home. One of the context is cell near GSM but this profile doesn't switch to active if I arrive at home and my screen is turned off. Once I turn my screen on it starts to work.
What could be the problem?

6.0.1
There is an option in Tasker which turn on the screen when performing cell near checks, I have enabled it now it is working perfectly but I would more happy if I wouldn't have to enable that option because of battery usage.
