Is there any way to stop the phone disconnecting the wifi when in standby while at home ? I would like to leave MSN signed in then I can find out when anyone comes online and messages me.
Failing that is there any way to stop the phone going into standby and just get some kind of app that will just turn the screen off ?
I remember when I used a nokia 9500 a while back you just closed the phone but it was still connected to the wifi and you would get alerts when someone messaged you via msn.

So then it wont disconnect ?
Still disconnects as far as I can see.
Surely this isnt the first time this has been brought up ? I would have thought that was the bonus of one of these phones, you could be connected when at home to msn constantly ?
Well, the point of standby is to kill anything uneeded (e.g. everything except phone and storage).
What you can do is close the screen, this turns it off, and have it set not to go into standby after however long (power settings). However, wireless chews battery, so you might want toi use it on power.

I tried searching for the reason/solution but could not find anything.
Basically my device keeps truning on. I read somewhere that it's due to a fault in the radio rom. Does anyone have any knowledge/solution for this?
Thanks
It seems very strange to me, which programs are installed in your phone?
If it's related to radio you can just try to flash the latest radio 1.38.00.11 (ripped by Pof) without losing any of your data to see if this resolves your problem.
pof's Trin_Radio_1.38.00.11_Only_SSPL rip
Thanks
I'll try this later and report back...

Do you have Exchange (Push) email? Do you have set email receiving to happen after a certain amount of time?
No, good suggestion but it's not the email settings.
I've put the newer radio rom on and so far no turning on. But it's only been a few hours so far...
Still turns on - oh well !
I have this same problem with my Imate Jam, my phone is set to check email every 15mins and I think thats when it turns itself on. But this must be a bug because it drains the battery so much faster especially it the screen gets random inputs when it is in your pocket constantly.
Another suggestion - do you use Sprite Backup Battery Monitor ?

or any other Weatherplugin which is checking every minutes the forecast ?

I have the same turning on issue. On mine, I know it is due to the email that is getting downloaded. Mine doesn't always do it, sometimes if I've been using wifi and turned it off, the phone will connect and check mail without coming out of standby. I haven't been able to track down exactly how to fix it. I do use DeviceLock which locks the screen so that if the phone wakes up for any reason when it is in my pocket or my backpack, buttons don't get pressed by accident.
My Dopod is turning on too and it really pisses me off.
I can be sure at 12:00am it will turn on every time.
I have reduced my power off time to 2min.

Before doing anything like flashing a different rom,start by eliminating some things
First remove your sim card and turn off the phone if it turns on by itself then its not network related nor has anything to do with your email settings.
Second try a different simcard and set the network manually to GSM and disable GPRS.
Third remove all programs that you've added(Hard reset if you have to).
Finally and if none of the above work flash a different rom.
there is a significant problem i just found out (i have been using symbian before).
wifi connection will not stay connected when the phone turns off in standby mode?
i really need to keep the connection alive.
i could uncheck 'turn off in xx minutes', but then the display will stay dimmed
which is not a good solution for me. power/saving bar is on full left, also disconnect wifi in xx minutes is disabled.
so, how do i do that even when the lights are off? dont tell me there is no way for that.
You need to install Advanced Configuration Tool.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070
There's an option you can tick to get the wifi to stay alive whilst it's on standby.
thank you for mentioning this program. it is quite useful
i have tried the advanced config tool to keep wifi connection, but it seems not working.
as soon the light turns off, wifi gets disconnected. and it gets reconnected immediately when it's back on
i have changed both:
'turn off wifi if no activity: no'
'wifi auto-off timeout to 9000000'
is there another setting i am missing or am i doing something wrong?

I can't find the option to keep the wi-fi on during standby. I have the config prog installed, and have read the documentation, but can't find the option to keep the wi-fi on during standby!
Edit, sorry my mistake.
Yes I'm having the same problem also it reconnects fine.
But you are right it should keep alive even in standbye.
Hi,
I used HD Tweak to change this setting. Works perfectly, now WiFi stays connected when the Phone is in StandBy

Thanks . I just forgot this was the way to go ...
But keep in mind that this option will SUCK all your battery very soon.....
Why dont you just turn the backlight off instead of standby when you want wifi to stay on. This way you dont need to mess with wifi setting.

I am using AE Button which has an option to turn backlight off.
btw: I am using version 2.6.3 which I think have a bug ie if you the use the option inside AEB to turn on wifi, the wifi stays on even if you press the top power-off button. This "bugged" version fits your requirement nicely.

And what about Heat up problem?? Keeping Wifi on will turn your HD into an oven - unless you keep it ventilated all the time

Same thing for me
the problem is wifi scanning.
on my old Nokia N95 (Symbian OS) i could turn off wifi scanning BUT keep the wifi connected to the router. that resulted being connected to something without constantly scanning for new routers or access points.
i dont know why but in all WM devices we do not have a possibility to turn off wifi scanning at all while keeping the wifi sesstion running.
Hey guys,
I recently just got my g1 dev, everything's great, except I noticed that whenever the screen is locked, the wireless connection gets disconnected after 1 or 2 minutes and reconnected when I unlock or press any buttons on the phone.
How can I resolve this issue? Anyone else having the same problem also?

Why would you want to? This saves the battery
It would be useful for IM clients or e-mail notification applications.

I've noticed the same thing because I was chatting on IM with a friend over a WI-FI connection but didn't have reception (3G, EDGE or other) so I kept getting logged off when my screen timed out.
Unfortunately, I believe that all you can do is go to Settings>Sound&Display>Screen Timeout (at the bottom under Display settings) and set to "Never Timeout". Or you can download an app like Toggle Settings from the Market to make it easier.
This will kill your battery a lot faster though but at least you won't have to keep logging back in. Maybe keep your phone on the charger and dim your display?
Hey, thanks for the reply!
Yup... I think that's all can be done right now to maintain a connection.
Hopefully there will be an option in the future
I'm wondering if it's possible to use the red hang up button to ONLY turn the screen off and not put the phone into sleep mode?
The reason for this is that 9/10 times i put the phone into sleep, when i wake it up my data connection is dead and i have to rest ir through settings, very frustrating.
Thanks for any help.
Bump, I too want to know this.
my hd2 doesnt disconnect data connections when its standby. what rom are you using?
and i really think you dont want to put the phone to be awake all the time it costs a lot of energy to do that
Download the autolock disable cab.

I know it would tax the battery, but this problem is really really driving me crazy. I love the phone but having to reset the data connection 15-20 times a day is becoming a real deal killer for me.
Have tried just locking via start button then lock
Hi everyone!
P8 lite dual sim, MM, b574, no third-party app for battery saving. When I turn it on and I use it, it connects to Internet and works just fine... In my area it's always connected in H or H+, I locked the phone to work in 3G/2G. When in stand by for some minutes minutes, for example 10-20, it often happens I don't receive any notification from gmail/whatsapp/telegram: the moment I unlock the screen I see phone is in 3G/H, then if I open browser/telegram/gmail it goes back to H/H+ and connects to the internet. Looks like it times out and disconnects from the Internet when in stand-by, so I lose notifications from instant messengers and mail . Another way to have telegram synced is to continuously open it or to go into shortcuts and tap to disconnect and reconnect mobile data, but it is frustrating! I have to do the same with gmail and continuously ask for a refresh, but with whatsapp it's even worse: sometimes only if I turn phone off and back on I get all notifications from last hours. Communication sometimes becomes impossible, as it's not "instant" anymore! Of course telegram/whatsapp/gmail are configured as protected apps, so they are running in backgound when phone is in stand by.
What should I do?
Thanks!

This one too. Battery manager settings.
Thanks again! I turned on the option in developer options, the other onese were already on. Unfortunately I'm still having this awful problem, so IM is not Instant anymore... yesterday, for example, I was watching a movie (so phone in standby with mobile data on) when suddenly I receive notifications from whatsapp, two messages written an hour before! I also try to disable developer options, but nothing changed.
Is there anything else I can try (eg. some options with a tweaking program or something like this) before trying to downgrade to lollipop? I've never used this phone with lollipop, the second I turned it on I upgraded to MM
Thanks!!

Go to settings.. apps...advance....ignore battery optimization. And add whatsapp.
I don't think downgrading to android lollipop will solve this issue but you may try it.
