Has anyone had problem with auto sync for email, I haven't fully checked out the problem, but from time to time, I get a message on my gmail, that auto sync is turned off, and ask me to turn it on. Not sure if it's related to having my phone connected to a cable for transfer.
Try to switch OFF the battery saving options (>PARAMETER>BATTERY).
It does block auto sync if activated....

Hello everyone!
Just moved from a P3600 to the P4550 and noticed something strange twice in the last 4 days. When I looked at the display in the morning (phone and WLAN were off overnight.....hardly ever turn on WLAN, as I only use it when travelling) I found that WLAN had switched itself on sometime during the night. What gives?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
This happens to me also if:
(1) ActiveSync is set to "as items arrive" (i.e. push)
(2) There is no phone signal.
Apparently AS looks for the Exchange server, and not being able to find a phone signal, turns on Wifi to see if it can connect like that.
I suppose this will also happen if you have AS set to poll mail at intervals. When the interval time arrives, I guess AS will want to go online and - not being able to use the phone signal - will turn on Wifi.
Very annoying as it drains the battery. It does NOT turn Wifi off after a while.
Oh well.

Oh - an afterthought: in CONNECTIONS I have set both programs accessing the net and programs accessing a private network configured to use MY WORK NETWORK. Don't know if fiddling around with that may stop AS turning on WifI.
Should you find a solution, please post coz I would like to fix this bug/feature too.
Hmmm.....if this theory is correct then going to flight-mode instead of just turning the phone off - should effectively not allow any kind of connections.....will check tomorrow....
Hi,
My Tytn II seems to have problems waking up from stand-by and retrieving emails at via wifi connections. I have set up the send/receive schedule to 5 minutes. The only way I seem to be able to retrieve emails via wifi is to wake the phone up manually (eg. press buttons) or wait for a reminder/alarm to sound which wakes the phone up.
Interestingly it doesn't have any problem waking up from stand-by/sleep to retrieve emails via a cellular (3G/HSDPA) connection.
I've installed KaiserTweak and set up the following:
- "Battery Resume from Suspend": 90 seconds (Max)
- "Wifi Standby Mode": Disabled
When I enabled "Wifi Standby Mode", it retrieved emails on cue, but this consumed way too much battery unfortunately, so it isn't acceptable.
I would really appreciate any ideas on how I can get the Tytn II retrieving emails according to the schedule by waking itself up from stand-by/sleep.
Thanks very much,
Prembo
It's not gonna work for you unless you enable the wifi standby mode. How can it know if you have emails if it doesn't have a data connection? The 3G connection will stay active while the phone is in standby, and as such can grab the emails on cue. But by allowing the wifi go into standby when the phone is in standby, you're effectively turning off the internet connection altogether. Either have the wifi standby turned off, or have it retrieve by 3G.
My 3G/HSDPA connection doesn't remain on permanently either.
I have it set (using KaiserTweak) to disable Data Connections (3G/HSDPA) after 1 minute of use. So my 3G/HSDPA is off whilst in stand-by mode most of the time.
However, the email retrieve schedule wakes up the Data Connection and then retrieves email. It doesn't seem to be able to however to wake up the Wifi connection and retrieve emails.
Enabling "Wifi Standby Mode" permanently leaves wifi connection active even during standby, therefore draining the battery significantly.
But it seems to be a fairly straightforward thing to wake the wifi connection up (just as it does the cellular connection) based on the email retrieve schedule.
PS. I'm connecting to the work network via wifi and therefore don't have access to work emails via cellular network.
Hi everyone...
There is a problem with my nexus one.
I downloaded some clients for MSN like MSN Talk, Hi MSN, Meebo and eBuddy, but I receive alerts from these clients only when screen is turn on. If i turn off the screen, I never receive alerts.
Then, when I turn on the screen, I receive all alerts at same time.
Have any way to enable alerts when screen is turn off?
Sorry for my english
EDIT: The same happens with Gmail, Google Talk...
Are you using wifi? Maybe your wifi sleep policy is set to disconnect when the screen is off.
Thanks for your answer.
Yes, I'm using wifi, but my wifi sleep policy is set to never disconnect.
EDIT: I made a test.
I set wifi sleep policy to "Never".
Then, from other computer in same network, I executed the command "ping" to network address from nexus. I received answers.
Then, I turn off the screen and repeat the same test and now I didn't receive answers!
Why the OS don't honor my settings? Is it a hardware or software issue?
One day i forgot to switch on my phone and i started my watch from shut down. I noticed that my watch was auto connected to my router but it could not sync the date and time. Is that normal?
When i switched on my phone everything was ok.
Is it possible NTP server time sync?
I have been looking for internet all these days, everywhere to autosync my device when device is sleeping and wifi is off but couldnt find any working solution as yet.
Tasker should turn on wifi, auto sync then turn auto sync off and wifi. I tried all that I could, but not working.
Anyone can help me with this over here ?
I do have a working autosync profile but for me in order to get it to work, I needed synker and secure settings, because Taskers WiFi action does not always work. If you would like me to share it with you, let me know.
It also takes other things into account as well.
I do have secure settings already. Do share how you do it given your device is sleeping and even WiFi is turned off
OK you can download my profile here, since it would be better, rather than explaining it.

I need synker with this ?
Thats correct. But you can try taskers sync option.
Hi, I tried this profile, unfortunately its turning on my data when I am home and Wifi is available. Though I am not sure if its turning on my Wifi while its turned off, I would want to ensure my data stays off. What are the changes I need to make ?
If you wish to remove the mobile data aspect of it altogether you will need to delete, all actions from 9 to 15, then add stop and add end if at then end of the task.
Also it does check to see if wifi is off first and if it is, it will switch it on.
My WiFi is on, but I ensure when screen is off, Wifi stays disabled. And for some reason its not turning back the WiFi when screen is Off. Dont know why
Unfortunately I am in the same boat at the moment, and I have not found anything to resolve this.
I also started my own thread some time ago about it, but I haven't had anyone give me an answer to solve it nor suggest what could cause it.

UPDATE: I think I might know what the problem is, I have added wake device command at the beginning of my task,via plugin called secure settings > actions > wake device. I will find out tomorrow if this actually works.
I can confirm that adding the plugin > secure settings > actions > Wake device, solves the problem for me. Apparently you shouldn't need this if you adhere to this page http://tasker.dinglisch.net/userguide/en/androidpowermanagement.html
But for some reason it still does not work for me even if I whitelist tasker and it's plugins from 3rd party battery saving apps like amplify or powernap.
The issue I am having is with connecting the wifi, its getting connected but gets disconnected after 5-10 seconds. I have even tried ensuring that screen keeps on for 2 minutes, even after that Wifi is getting disconnected. Can I have an working profile from you without the mobile data part ? May be I am doing something wrong.
