I've been using iGO for my navigation software which has a power save function which means if there is say 30 miles before the next command, the screen will dim and eventually turn off. But it seems that my tilt turns GPS off when the screen goes off. When I come to the next command, nothing happens. I manually turn the screen on, then the gps reconnects.
is the phone always in sleep mode when the screen is off?
is there away to turn the screen off but maintain a GPS fix?
Thanks.
no you can get apps which just blank the screen
and some apps support using a hardkey to toggle the screen
Hi,
I'm struggling to get WiFi to switch off when the screen goes off in CM7.
I've checked the advanced WiFi settings and it is indeed set to switch off when the screen goes off but it does not seem to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
EDIT: OK, it does switch of after 15 minutes.
Thanks.
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.
I have pretty poor reception in my area and WiFi calling takes care of that. However recently it refuses to stay on. As soon as I leave the settings after turning it ON, it switches OFF. It does the same thing in "Safe Mode". I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue? Thank you
Some times the device turns off and then turn off wifi automatically why does this happen ? I noticed it only happens when wifi gets slow but device should not automatically restart it ? Any fix ?
Yes, it is very annoying. I fixed it by installing this app and enable so that Wifi is always turned on when screen turns on. Works great as a workaround for Xiaomi bugs: Wifi Automatic
