My rooted NC 1.1 has stopped reconnecting automatically to my wifi network after sleep. It had been working fine for a while so I am not sure what changed. To get it to reconnect I either need to toggle the wifi on/off or select the network using wifi settings. After that it is fine. If I just put it to sleep and turn it back on after a minute or so it connects fine. The problem occurs after several minutes (say 10) of sleep.
I have deleted all my network connections, rebooted and then connected to my network with no change. Again this had been working fine in its current state.
I then reimaged it to a known working 1.1 image using CWR but the wifi issue remains.
This is more nuisance then anything else but it sure is annoying.
Look forward to any suggestions since I dont know what else to try.

same problem here, sometimes it works but after waiting too long it doesn't reconnect. I think after being asleep so long it just fails to refresh/rescan. Kind of silly they dont have a rescan/refresh button in the wifi settings...
You can try going into Settings/Wireless/Wifi Settings/hit the menu again and go to Advanced, set the sleep option to Never. This helps but it still shuts off the wifi after being locked for a few minutes.
The fix I use is called "SoftLocker Free" in the market. This basically prevents it from sleeping, but still allows the screen to turn off. It draws more power from the battery since the wifi stays on, but I've had good luck with it.
Strange question, but do you have AT&T? I've seen a ton of folks with non-rooted nooks have this issue on the official Barnes and Noble forum, all with Uverse.
No i am not using att.
Thanks for the tips so far.

ZTE blade has a similar issue, there's a couple of workarounds.
1. Keep the device awake when screen is off (holds wifi connection but uses battery power)
2. Automatically toggle wifi when you turn the screen back on.
I've made an app that does (1.) when you leave wifi on and turn the screen off. (similar to softlocker, but it automatically grabs the lock when wifi is left on and has other features). Search for "Advanced wifi lock"
If you want (2.) grab "Blade wifi fix".
This seems to be common among Android devices judging by the sheer volume of WiFi fix and Wifi lock applications in the market. Now, we just have to figure out which one works better with NookColor. Free would be better of course
Mine does it as well - WiFi on after waking up. Can stay awake for 10 minutes not connecting, bus as soon as I'll go to wireless settings, I can see it obtaining IP immediately. I also noticed it goes away from time to time and comes back by itself.
Hi all,
It would appear that my data disconnects when the phone is locked or asleep.
I have set the Wifi policy to never sleep and that works fine, however when I am out of Wifi range then I am obviously using 2G/3G data.
I have the phone set to use 2G only.
The problem seems intermittent, which is the worst part. So sometimes I will unlock the phone and then all of a sudden my emails/updates will come through.
Other times when the screen is off I hear my notification tone for chats, emails etc.
I had this problem on all the software version I've had on the phone.

Thanks for any help or advice
It seems to me that you have no problem. You can't in theory make your phone be on line like all the time. That's why they came up with the push notification system so you wouldn't have to be on line all the time. With te push system your phone will automatically download your notifications once you get them. So it seem to me that the most you can do is to go app by app to set a lower range of time to update. But also notice that by doing that your battery will run out faster and you data will increase. And at least to me doesn't seem like worth it just for not getting my facebook notifications 8 minutes latter

I understand what you are saying, but sometimes I will be busy working or something and an email has been sitting there for 2 hours. And I will only receive it on my phone when i decide to unlock it.
Same goes for Google talk and other Apps.
What I have noticed is that the upload, download arrows only appear on the 2g icon a couple of seconds after I unlock and then the emails etc start coming in.
But other times the arrows will be there. So it is somewhat intermittent
Do you by any chance use Droidwall or Green Power or any other app to block internet connections or improve battery life?
Enviado desde mi LG Optimus Black via Tapatalk!
Nope. I have never used such Apps. And it has been a problem on all firmware versions.
Perhaps it is my service provider? :-(
Whenever I use Apps like Facebook Messenger or Snapchat, my phone (SentinelRom 6.0, CM 11.0) doesn't notify me. No matter how much I check the settings, I can't find the options to turn notifications on.
Another issue is that I can't turn on 4G either. It can't find a 4G signal. Whereas normal 3G works just fine. Anyone experienced similar issues?
edit: doing some testing, it seems I do get notifications after immediately turning off screen now. Gonna try to test it after half an hour screen sleep.
edit 2: did more testing with screen shut down for an hour. Got notifications. Maybe it was because I had low battery that I didn't receive any notifications yesterday.
Hi community!
I've recently gotten my 2nd refurbished HTC One M7..
Here's a list of problems I am having using it:
-Power button is broken, so infra-red isn't working and I can barely turn the phone off/on with that button
-There is a custom rom installed, called soul rom/kernel, which is poorly translated and I can't find any English stuff about it only a Chinese site which I can't understand.. This soulrom causes the battery to last way shorter than the last one did, and it also causes the phone to overheat, a lot. Even though I put the soulrom -> kernel Thermal settings on Extra cool..
-The rear-camera is broken, not focussing, blurry and making a buzzing noise
-Phone calls don't work, only work with earphones. I can't hear the person who calls and they can't hear me..
-Since today, the Wi-Fi isn't working, so I can only use mobile network data which costs me quite some money..
The Wifi problem is this: Wi-Fi says it is turning on, but I can't stop it from turning on, and it is stuck on turning on, it won't turn on or off at all, I have tried airplane mode, rebooting, safe mode rebooting, hot reboot, rebooting from bootloader, rebooting from recovery, quite about everything..
I have searched quite a few forums and threads.. The power button issue is hardware-related so there is no fix for that probably..
The rom is fine but that might be the problem for phone call and/or wifi issue.. Might be..
Could use any help!
Thanks, Patrick.
After several days of reading posts that 10.2.27.0 EEA was available, I finally tried to upgrade just now.
Checked on the phone. No update available.
Went to official ROM depository en.miui.com. The latest they have is still 10.2.26 EEA.
Ended up doing the download at miblog.co. But when I installed it failed at validation saying this is beta and I need a beta authorized Xiaomi account to be able to install it.
... So did they rollback the ROM distribution?
My guess is that with the major problems during the latest Mi 9 SE update they stopped all roll outs until they have figured out the problem. Also for other Mi9 devices.
I flashed the update via TWRP and its not so good to use. Have some connection problems with it. Hopefully they fix the issues soon and deliver it new.
I am positively surprised about the .27 update. It fixed all my battery standby drain issues. Got a much better runtime now, 2 days when fully charged
Thank God i didnt install the update. The update appeared like week ago and then suddenly disappeared. I was waiting for some reviews, because my phone is running great on .26 update,although there are still some minor bugs.
I have exactly opposite experience to the Dada124's. 10.2.26.0 was very gentle to the battery, while 10.2.27.0 drains it like crazy. Yesterday it went down from 68 % to 18 % in 3 hours - 1hour watching video, 1hour surfing web and 1hour listening to an audiobook. No wonder they pulled it. Hope they fix it with next update, because this is beyond ridiculous.
I don't have battery issue with .27
Bluetooth volume is now synced with my earbuds, there is direct control.
My alarm still don't show up on the lockscreen in the morning, it's annoying to unlock the phone to deactivate it. Am I the only one with this problem ?!?

I have only good things to say about the .27 update. Slightly better battery life, pocket mode (yay!), better volume handling with different Bluetooth devices (no too lows or too highs) more devices turning up as aptX or better codecs instead of the basic SBC.

I cannot make it turn on if the upper part of the screen is covered. No need to turn off pocket mode. I tested the pocket mode very intensively and at no time however much I try or tap the whole screen or the fingerprint reader will it go to the lock screen anymore!

No you're not. I thinks it's a bug in the clock app. Workaround ist to schedule the DND mode to end in the same Minute Like your Alarm is ringing.
I have .27 on two Mi 9s, and both are experiencing problems:
- Battery drain
- Connection problems, both 4g/LTE and Wi-Fi
- Pocket mode, if exists, is enabled by default, because there is no switch on/off.
- Multiple issues with Android Auto
At least they fixed the AI button - it does pull Google voice assistant directly now.

It is similar to me
Hey, they launched 10.2.28.0 EEA!
Updating to 10.2.28.0 EEA right now.
No 28 for my mi 9 running 27 so far. Does anyone have a direct link?

Thanks. No obvious difference to 27 yet
I updated to 10.2.28, no issue.
Except how can we confirm pocket mode? As someone said above, there is no on/off options. Is it enabled by default?

Cover the upper part of the screen with one hand and tap the fingerprint scanner fast for some time. Does this make the lock screen show then pocket mode doesn't work for you. It's on by default. It works well for me.
