Wifi Standby Policy

I was playing around with the Wi-Fi sleep policy settings and I am little bit confused how it really works.
The default setting is something like: "turn off wifi when screen is turned off".
So as I understand it it should disable wifi when the screen is turned off.
However when I checked my device list at my router it seemed that my n1 was still connected through wif, even after the screen was turned off. Only after 5-10 minutes wifi was really disconnected (when I turned on the screen again the wifi symbol in the top bar appeared after some seconds). I read somewhere that there is a difference between disabling wifi and disconnecting wifi?
BTW. the wifi sleep policy is supposed to save battery because it is said that 3G in idle mode requires less power than a wifi connection, but I read that with the nexus one the opposite is true. so what's the truth?

It's normal for the wifi to disconnect after several minutes of inactivity once the screen turns off. As for your very last question, I don't know... but I imagine that idle 3G is less power intensive than active wifi, otherwise it wouldn't be the default option...

Did you saved changes when you changed the wifi to be off when screen is off?

Yes i saved the settings
I tried this on Kk2 and LA4
And same result not working

same for me with Cassie's Xtra lite and Franco kernel V5. Then as advised, i use now green power to switch off/on automatically wifi and datas connexions.. better than nothing.

I use Llama to do this. It does exactly what I want, shuts down WiFi 1 minute after I turn the screen off unless charging on mains, turns it back on on open, but only if I am at home or work.
That gives me everything I want (I have some apps that only sync when charging to save battery).

Smart Actions and Wifi

Anyone have any issues with Smart Actions and Wifi? I am running ICS .232. Recently i've been noticing my battery draining and my system is telling me that my Wifi has been on for 7 hours. I check the Wifi settings and it's set to off. I turned it on and off to be safe. The only thing I can think of was Smart actions not shutting it off as it states it was. I just removed the rule to turn wifi off and on depending on my location. It's suppose to turn off wifi while at work to conserve battery but it seems to be draining my battery instead. I just checked it now and the solid bar is short at the end indicating it is no longer on. Wondering if anyone has the same issue? BTW I've been at work for the past 8 hours so Wifi should have been off. Location is flaky in my area even with GPS as there is a dead spot close by. I work out in the country..

wifi sleep policy

strange thing..
if i set "keep wifi in sleep" to never it just stays on.
i got cpuspy to see if it really goes into deep sleep but the wifi just stays on.
i know i had this problem with customrom JB on my LG optimus black but now i have official JB on my XT and got the same problem here.
i need to install a app to control the wifi like i want it too..
(i always set wifi to disconnect when the phone enters deep sleep, my experience tels me that 2g data drains less battery then wifi)
however i didn't really test drain level of wifi/2g data on my XT.

wifi off when screen is off

why wifi turning off when screen is locked, i have android 10. Firmware reinstalled in service, i did two times reset, one lucky, next still same problem ,wifi goes off when screen is off, battery saver is off. one lucky time i did reset and not goes to off when screen is off, next time i did reset, and still same happens life before , not turned saver battery. where problem? in a5 2017 i know was be wifi sleep policy and i see three options in wifi settings (keep wifi when screen off,not keep when off , keep when charging), and i enabled battery saver and i set to wifi sleep never in a5 2017, so battery saver is not issue like was in n9
***
and i see in wifi name mac adress : ramdomizde mac adress or Phone adress mac. what they are? by default it set to randomized
***
since android 9 wifi option gone to not keep wifi when screen is off ... it always to keep. on my n8 was always on when screen is off, and the battery saver mode is on and dont any problem like discconected whem screem is off...
