Days on HSPA+ but hours on WiFi...

Nexus WiFi/3G:
I have searched but haven't found an answer in regard to the Nexus 7... I can go for days on battery power when Wi-Fi is off; the moment I turn on Wi-Fi - the battery lasts half a day under normal usage (at best),,
Any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Turn wifi off? haha !!!
No sorry, you tried Tasker
Set it to turn wifi on with screen on, wifi off with screen off ?

I would think that HSPA+ would use more power than Wi-Fi - could this be a part of the google location service bug under Jelly Bean?

Either that or very extensive syncing tasks which occur only on wi-fi

While my 7 is WiFi only, I will say, contrary to most peoples reports of better battery life on WiFi, with my phone I have always gotten better results using mobile data. Though not that much of a difference.

Got my nexus 7 32 gb 3g, and i got to say on wifi i get a days life. On 3g i get 2 days a minimum. Still testing though.

Settings > Location Access > Untick Wifi & Mobile Network Location.
See if that helps, it doesn't really stop you doing anything with it off.

I get great life using WiFi on my phone and tablet. My WiFi advanced settings are shown below.
I would also suggest using BetterBatteryStats to track down what's using up your battery.

It's probably something to do with the amount of accounts you have configured and what data they sync from their servers to your device. Such apps refuse to sync on mobile data as they know the data they transfer is a very large amount.
Go into each app that you have configured with background updates and lower their refresh intervals. Or if its in account management, download Synker, activate the sync notification service, and watch what syncs in and out of your device at various times.

WiFi has always been this way on my phone. WiFi, unless you select to have it shut off with inactivity will keep connected, all the time, like if you had it connected via Bluetooth, I believe also iirc, WiFi prevents deep sleep since it is always running. I could be wrong but I remember with the phone it was that way

I was also initially under the impression that WiFi would use less power because it was shorter range. But I think I read somewhere that mobile data is actually less power-intensive.
Which explains why there's the option under WiFi advanced settings to have WiFi turn off when the screen is off. Although I didn't think the difference was that major...

I'm afraid that is wrong.
Wifi does not stop your device from going into a deep sleep. The only time it would is if there is a wakelock constantly accessing the wifi therefore the phone can't sleep, if that's the case use Better Battery Stats to find out which app is causing the wakelock.

WiFi Issues

Hi I just got the new moto x. And I've notice that there's a WiFi issue
When ever I disconnect the WiFi and turn it back on, first of all, it does not auto connect, and second, when I try to connect it looks like this

"lightbox_next": "Next",

And it won't connect to the WiFi unless I turn Airplane mode on, then turn on WiFi, then turn AP mode on. Its such a Hassel.
Anythoughts?

I have one but have not had any issues like this. Have you tried forgetting the network and then reconnecting? Also are you having this issue on any other wireless networks?

My WiFi seems to cut out frequently without warning. It still shows that it is connected, but data doesn't transmit for some reason. After a moment, it might manage to reconnect and continue. I'm not sure what is wrong with it, but thought I might try turning off the battery saver WiFi option in case it's buggy. This is with my Netgear R7000 802.11ac router sitting about 10-15 feet away and other devices working just fine; meaning it's definitely the X having the problem. If I can't fix it, the phone goes back.

I've also noticed this issue while setting up my new moto x. My wifi dropped for a few moments 3-4 times within the first 10 minutes. We'll see if it keeps doing it...

I am up to level 4 corporate support at Moto now. I have emailed them all the links to forums with WiFi issues. I will keep updating when I hear back. Here is another thread about this too.

Wifi issue....

I started having this issue last night. When I am connected to my home wifi, I get a connection time out 100% of the time. My netbook, a laptop, and 2 other phones have no issues with the wifi. I have reset my router, no access to the modem, restarted phone with wifi on and off. Still the same thing. Has anyone else had this issue, or might know of a trick that I have not done yet?
Netbook is off most of the time, and the laptop is connected via wire. I connected wifi to make sure it was not my router.

Try these two tricks:
1) have the phone forget your wi-fi network and then re-enter the password.
2) go into wi-fi advanced settings,
select ALWAYS for "keep wi-fi on during sleep",
UNcheck "avoid poor connections" and
under frequency, set for 2.4GHz band only.

I found disabling the optimization and "Scanning always available" helps too. In my case, the issue was that I could see the router, but the phone would refuse to connect (or stay connected). Digging deeper showed that the phone would continually try to connect, then disconnect immediately. Not sure why it did this, but turning off all this other nonsense on the screen above fixed the problem for me.
It also fixed another related problem - I'd see "ghost" SSIDs in my list from other locations (nowhere near me)... needless to say, I couldn't connect to them but they showed about "half" power all the time. Again, disabling ALL these items has resolved the issue for me.

My issue is not with connections, I connect fine. Its with downloading, mostly images and videos. Text is fine. Like if I read a news article it loads with a small delay, nothing to worry about. If I watch a video all I get is the circle spinning. Facebook, wont load at all. Tumblr wont load either. The second I close my wifi, everything loads.

You might've tried this already but how about forgetting your home wifi then reconnecting and reentering your password?

Hotspot in 5Ghz Band not working

Hello All,
I just discovered that the hotspot on 5Ghz do not work. I cant find the network. 2.4Ghz works...
But I need it to work with 5Ghz to avoid bluetooth interference.
Anyone notice the same issue?

Can someone test and report, I want to know if this is issue with my device only...
Thanks

5GHz hotspot is working perfectly on all my devices except for Nintendo Switch, it needs 2.4GHz hotspot even though Switch supports 5GHz wifi.
But I found other bug in hotspot settings, I cant save settings if I change hotspot security settings from wpa to wpa2.

Mine is not....cant see my band 5 Ghz network....I sent mail to support and rise a bug ticket

Guys, can someone test this (it will take no more than a minute) I really need to know if only I experience this issue .....
THANK YOU!

Tested and fully working setup here.
T-Mobile CZ SIM -> Realme X2 Pro (6/128GB) -> Acer Swift 3

After a sleepless night. I was able to make it work. It is that mi Wifi country code are messed up by my region (Bulgaria). The hotspot works indeed on channel 149 but my tablet can only scan till channel 140...So i dig around and found out that my SIM card in my tablet changes my wifi country code and messes up my 5Ghz bands. So after an Airplane mode and restart of mu tablet booom I had all 5Ghz channels available and I was able to connect to my Realme X2 Pro hotspot on channel 149.
SO KEEP IN MIND: if you try to connect to your realme 5Ghz hotspot with a device with SIM card ...you may be able not to if you don't use this trick!
Meanwhile I wrote to Realme support and look what do they replied:

WTF....it works it is ugly it uses not very popular channel 149 (I prefer the lower onecs40-44)
So this support Guys dont really know what do they support and not support!!! I asked to have communication with a technical guy

ok... i got "almost the same" problem with 5ghz band on my realme x2 pro. it works, but it is extremely slow, i stuck at 2.25Mbps on download, and 28.28 on upload. i tested my Access Point with my old Samsung S8+, the speed is 137.24Mbps and 127.69 for upload.
here's my screenshot compilation:
ok, i updated the OS, so from ColorOS to RealUI, and nothing changes on this bug. it is still slow on 5Ghz band.

after several tweaks, i found the solution
i tested my daughter's xiaomi phone, it suffered the same problem. so i come to conclusion that it must be some incompatibility of the wireless network. so, it turned out that, the xiaomi and realme phone, does not support 80 MHz channel width. speed is 120Mbps+ after i switch to 40 Mhz channel width. it's a little bit disappointing though, because 80 MHz does offer greater bandwidth than 40 Mhz channel width. But it's a relief at least it's not 2 Mbps anymore.

Looking for ROM that can force Wifi Calling

HI all.
Long-term Pixel 4 XL user here.
I am looking for a ROM that can force wifi calling.
This feature existed in my previous phone (Note 8 Samsung),
However I cannot find it on my Pixel 4 XL.
I linve in an area where there low cellular signals but I have great 1GBPS Fibre internet.
The only thing i can do right now is put aeroplane mode on and then manually turn Wi-fi on which forces the wifi calling, this is too tedious for me and sometimes i forget to turn Aeroplane mode off and realize I have had multiple missed calls.
This is what the setting looks like on my Samsung.

really surprised no-one has an answer to this. ....

Also on a 4XL on A12. Take a look at Network&internet->SIMs->WiFi Calling->Calling preference->Call over WiFi (If Wi-Fi is unavailable, use mobile network)

That's just enables wifi calling .
There is no way to force it .
I am finding that even though it's is enabled call are still going through LTE .

I actually dont have the calling preferences on my Android 12

You should have the calling preferences menu if your sim is properly provisioned for WiFi calling
Is your sim SHOWN as being provisioned for WiFi calling in the test menu via the dialer?
*#*#4636#*#*
Under phone info you will find Volte/Video/WiFi toggles. If your sim is properly provisioned for WiFi calling by your carrier, the toggle will be in the "on" position and may or may not be greyed out. Even if this is the same SIM you used in your Samsung, if the sim is not shown as provisioned in the P4 this may be why you don't have the preferences preferences menu. BTW, this menu does not force WiFi calling, so even if you do get the menu working, you are still looking for a means to force WiFi calling.

Wifi calling works perfectly if I turn aero-plane mode on and then turn wifi back on.. That's not the problem.
My issue is Googles algorithm on when to use wifi calling sucks, even when I have low reception in cellular it is still calling through cellular and not using wifi calling.
