Anyone pls advise how can i keep the wifi on and connected even it turns to standby mode by itself after a while.
THe purpose of keeping it on is i would like to keep my Messenger connected throughout the night without missing any important messages.
I have tried using GPRS to serve, however, after a few hours, the Messenger will cut off automatically, ( so is Agilemessenger)
Anyone can help, pls???

msn will automatically log you out after a period of activity anyway - especially on my laptop. but if u go into the power settings and untick the box that says "put into standby after ____ mins" then that mite work i dunno
Hi there,
With my BlueAngel I could leave the WiFi on all night as when the phone was switched off it did not eat up the battery - when the phone was switched on it would spend a couple of seconds reconnecting to the wireless point.
The Universal seems to behave in the same way, yet it eats up all the battery overnight even when I have switched the phone off and it is not connected to the WiFi access point.
Is there some setting or registry key I can alter to fix this?
Cheers,
Quilty
@Qulity, if you don't close PIE I have found the battery can be drained. I assume overnight you are using Flight Mode.
Are you closing the flip and presuming that the device gets turned off or have you actually set your device to turn off after a fixed period of inactivity in the power settings?
If it is the former, then the device actually does not turn off if there is any activity in the background like active GPRS or WiFi etc. A simple solution to this would be to press the hard-ware on/off button once you are done irrespective of whether wfi is active or not in the background.
Try it out and post your results here.
My device is set to turn off after 2 mins on battery power, but I made a special point of turning it off with the hardware button before testing last night. As I said before my BlueAngel never behaved like this.
my jasjar was turned off yesterday, and every 5min i heard sound for new wifi network!! same problem, i solved it with turnig wifi off!! any other solutions?
Ok, so recently it seems as though my 8525 will not power itself off. I have it set to turn off after 1 minute of inactivity, and yet it refuses to turn off. This tends to be a problem, because if I receive a text message while I'm out or while I'm sleeping (and it's not charging), it'll stay on until it drains itself dead. Perhaps a program is keeping it on? I check my task manager, and other than Palringo (which I haven't had a problem with in the past), nothing is running in the background.
One thing I've noticed... I used to have a screensaver that would display as soon as I turn the device on (SPB Mobile Shell), but lately, it hasn't been coming up. I'm guessing the phone is refusing itself to be powered off? I'm out of ideas. If anyone can help, ANY ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! I'm searching for a good IM that keeps on running in the background over Wifi and gives a sound when a new message comes in.
Beejive looks really cool, but I have a big problem: My device is set to turn off the backlight after 30 sec. So far no problem. At first I had it turn into standby after 1 min. But by doing that the Wifi connections breaks and after I turn the phone back on it connects again. So I turned this option off. Every programm keeps on running with the backlight off after 30 sec., but if Beejive is opened it still gets the phone into standby after 1 min. I haven't found an option in the configs of Beejive that can turn that off.
Anyone has a solution for that?
Another problem is that Beejive doesn't show messages that were sent to me when I was off. Not good at all.
Thanks!!!
Weird
Beejive sends me messages I received weeks ago (last time I used it) and got disconnected because of it going to sleep. (Even if I have logged into the account severl times between now and then via my PC.
I don't think there is anything the progrm itself can do to keep the phone awake but you can change asetting in advanced config to allow wifi in standby.
Was wondering if its possible to keep the wireless still turned on when the phone goes to standby. As in 3G is always on, thus always giving me new emails
Hmm #33 may be able to help you?

Easy....
Download Shap's Advanced Config Tool. There is an option to keep the Wifi on even when the phone goes on standby.
Once Advanced Config Tool installed, launch it, go to Menu/More settings/connections/Enable Wifi on Standby.
also I would recommand you to download a basic freeware named ScreenOff (by Applied PDA software), and use it to turn off the backlight without turning off the Wifi.
I've always having trouble to maintain the WiFi connection whether it's using battery or AC.
I've installed the Advanced Config Tool, the "Enable WiFi on Standby" indicated already enabled. Then I used the ScreenOff. After about 10 seconds, the WiFi connection was lost as I verified it by pinging the HD2 from a PC. It's plug into AC all the time.
However if leave the HD2 just "dim the screen", that seems to be the only way to maintain the WiFi. Obviously set it not to go into standby after 30mins (the default value).
Are you able to maintain the WiFi on HD2?
Yes. No problem here.
when you go into wifi advanced settings you can select power mode. when you set power mode in the medium setting, wifi keeps connected even in standby! and it also doesn't drain your battery while in standby. just try it. first select high power mode and turn phone in standby. wifi connection is lost. when you turn it back in, you will see wifi connecting.
with power in the middle setting, turning phone in standby keeps wifi alive, with very low power consumption. and when you turn phone back on, you will see that wifi is already connected.
i use wifi all the time when at home. my data connection is turned off. and still my push mails are recei ing through wifi!
Not that easy, I tried all power modes and in all occations it whent of after 1 minute (ping timeout). Weird that all roms behave so differently
Speaking of pinging your HD2... when your wifi is enabled and IDLE, what ping results do you get?
My HD2 acts very strange. when my wifi connectivity is on & IDLE (no data activity, device is not in standby mode), my ping results vary from 50ms in average to 200+ and sometimes I'm experiencing even higher spikes of 500ms+.
I have tried to change the wifi's adapter power scheme to "best performance", but it doesn't seem to change something.
However, as long as there is an activity, my ping replies from the HD2 seem to be fine (less than 15/10ms).

seems like some powersaving feature... when idle, why should the wifi chip work at top speed.. just like cpu scaling....
my power saving slider is in the middle and still when the screen goes off and I switch it back on the wifi is reconnecting.

Have you done the ping test from another PC/laptop on your network? Wait for about 1 minute after the screen is off and if you still can ping your HD2, I think it's probably your push mail somehow manage to maintain the wifi connection. I might try that if that's the case as I've tried absolutely everything else and so far abosolutely nothing can keep the wifi constantly on if the screen goes off.
i can still ping it after a few minutes... what you say about push mail and keeping wifi on makes sense... first thing i do when configuring my phone after fresh install is setting up my push mail... maybe that's why my wifi is always on.
You could set up a free gmail push account?
I'm not sure if my problem is related at all but my wifi only seems to connect to my router when it's diconnected from my PC. I'm sure before I upgraded to 1.48 ROM it stayed connected. Any idea guys?
oh, and I've only ever had it in the middle power saving mode and it looks like it does disconnect when it goes into standy.

I've set up gmail account as well nut as far as I know it's just IMAP or correct meif I'm wrong. if It's not push mail, it'll still kinda polling isn't it? what's your view?

Good news guys, I've finally managed to get the WiFi to stay on even after the screen is off. Yes the trick is the "push mail". I deleted my original gmail imap account and set up a Microsoft Push Mail based Gmail account. Then did the ping test and it's staying on for sure now. But I did notice that it'll have 1 packet drop occasionally.
wifi disconnecting in standby
my hd2 stayed connected to wifi in standby, then i applied a few tweaks and .cabs, i had a few little issues like the screen freexing and not refreshing so i did a hard reset, since then wifi wont stay connacted when the phone is on standby, it is confusing
Hi I found a solution. Just install this cab. No soft reset needed
