Does anyone have a solution to the fact that the wifi goes to sleep on the Fire when the screen turns off? It's very frustrating, especially when listening to music via Spotify or Last.fm...

You can download rdio and it has an option to disable the wifi sleep policy which for some reason is hidden in the wifi settings menu. Note however, once you turn it off I have not found a way to turn it back on as easily.

Hey guys/gals,
I'm streaming radio with Resco Radio and it seems it shuts off the wifi connection everytime I turn of the Backlight and put it in my pocket. If I leave the screen on, it would work.
I'd like to turn of the screen and let the radio stream while it's in my pocket and have my earphones on.
Is this possible? Is there a setting I missed somewhere?
man....old issue. look 4 wifinostandby.cab.........Done
Thanks, I saw that a while back. Wasn't sure what it was.
Sorry guys found a previous thread in another forum.

I just bought the tasker app and figured I would let people know how its working for me, and to solicit suggestions for things I can do with it.
background:
Its a very good app that allows you to script the behavior of the phone based on a very large set of events or states.
My initial use:
As previously mentioned on this board the bluetooth streaming volume is not the loudest, so I always end up turning up the volume for bluetooth. Then when I plugin my headphones I destroy my eardrums.
So I setup a task that when I connect to my bluetooth car stereo, it automatically sets the volume to max and turns off wifi for good measure.
I have another task that when I plugin headphones, it sets the volume to 60% and opens the doubletwist music player.
Finally I setup the standard battery task so that when my battery gets to 20% it turns of all the GPS, wifi, and bluetooth radios, as well as dimming my screen.
Anyone else have this app and have something cool they have setup using it? I have heard of silent mode when the handset is placed flat facedown, which i thought was unique.
I have had it for a few days and am playing around with it. I have 2 tasks so far. First is to go to silent mode when face down. This is especially nice since I charge it overnight by my bed and don't want notifications (emails etc) waking me up so I have been just turning silent mode on at night and off in the morning. Sometime forgetting to turn on in the morning.
The 2nd task is to read the email sender and subject aloud when I am in the car and it is connected to my car stereo via bluetooth. I like the wifi off setting you did. I may do the same.
I also noticed that when listening to streaming through bluetooth with the wifi on but not connected to an ap, I get "skips" every once in awhile. Turning off wifi fixes it so I may set it to turn off wifi when streaming bluetooth audio.
Couple issues I have had. If the phone is in "standby" (pushing the power button) tasker won't go to silent mode. Also, I tried to make the screen go off when face down as well but it doesn't work. Apparently tasker can not turn the screen off but you are supposed to be able to change the timeout to as little as 7 seconds. I set that up but instead of the screen going off it just dims. Not sure of the issue.
I am interested in what others are doing so post the info.
I have two keyboards i really like in 2 different orientations.
Droid X keyboard:
its sweet autocorrections and large real estate makes it ideal for two thumb typing in landscape
swype:
slower than droid X keyboard in landscape, but in portrait, this is possibly the fastest/most accurate keyboard around.
I tried to set it up so that i could change my keyboards depending on the orientation, but i could not figure it out
im also for an app that turns your screen off with a timer (in the background). and have that work when you turn your screen downward./
any with either of these would be greatly appreciated.
I have my home wifi connected, and set to 'turn off when screen off'. The problem is that my phone doesn't seem to connect back to wifi if the wake the phone up after some time. This never was an issue with Captivate. But with this, even using a widget to turn on wifi doesn't seem to work. I need to go through all the way to wifi settings through the settings app manually turn it off and on.
Anyone else facing this issue?
I'm not because I have it set to always stay on. When I know I'm not going to he using the wifi heavily or I simply don't need it, I turn it off.

Hello I have android running on my HD2. The issue is when I have my headphones connected via bluetooth, when the phone goes to sleep it kills the bluetooth connection. If there a fix or a setting I'm missing? Any help would be great.
Thanks
You can work around by don't let your phone to sleep too early. Settings/Display/Screen timeout. Then press sleep when you done using bluetooth.
I've been having a problem recently work Pandora on my Axon 7. Music streams without any problems when the app is open or running in the background, but if I sleep the display the app stops running. Even if the app was open as on-screen. This doesn't with any of my other music steaming or player apps. I did a bit of research and found that power saving settings can closer it but this happens even of I turn off Smart power-saves and all power saving settings/policies. Has anyone r run into this before on their A7 or even another phone or is this normal behavior for Pandora?

What firmware you on,
I believe there was an issue on b29 or 27, the power saver settings didn't really work as in background app killing, it just killed everything lol
Have a look in the thread somewhere, can't remember where i read it
I'm on B29. This doesn't happen with all apps so I don't know why the power settings would be affecting it, especially if I shut the power saving settings off
