Hi All,
I have carried out a search but not managed to turn anything up :-(
I am trying to stop the wireless from going to sleep after whats seems about 5 minutes.
Can anybody help?
I user the KaiserTweak function on my TyTn II and that works great
Thanks, Andy
Try Settings>Connections>WLAN>Power Mode tab
Uncheck "Auto turn off WLAN if not connected"
Hi Techntrek,
I have already tried that.
The application that I use polls a web server ever one minute so the Wireless is being used, it is just disconnecting because the device is not being touched key/screen wise.
you are probably talking about the screen/sleep settng, different setting. settings>system>backlight>both power tabs
My D2 will automatically disconnect the wifi connection when it goes in standby. My old cruise would always keep the connection alive, so that it would be available immediately after turning it on. Is there a fix for this?
A google search reveals!!

Edit: although that worked on my XDA Orbit 2 (Touch cruise / polaris) it dont seem to work on my Diamond 2
I found this key in the registry:
HKLM\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms\HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended
and changed it from 0 to 1, but that didn't work. After a restart the value was automatically changed back to 0.
Looking around on the HD forum it seems that HD has the same behaviour. People changed that using a program called HD Tweak. I guess we need D2 Tweak...
i would also like to see a solution for this
I have experienced this problem also. If you have push internet scheduled and the phone is on standby, it retrieves the data via data connection/3G as opposed to your WiFi.
Additionally, if you take your phone out of standby, it takes a few seconds for the phone to re-establish the WiFi connection. If you are too quick to access the internet or update weather - again it will start to do this through the data connection.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
did you try Advanced Configuration Tool? You can enable/disable data connections, set them to always on and enable WiFi on standby.

Does it exist for D2 too already?
Yeah got it and it works on D2, the enable WiFi option is there
You could also go to Settings -> More -> Connections -> Wi-Fi -> Wireless networks -> Menu -> Advanced, there you can change how long the Wi-Fi radio should be on if not connected to a wireless network.
Unfortunately, www.touchxperience.com is down, so I can't download it now.

Thanks for the tip. This doesn't solve my problem, but it's good to know.
I found a 3.3 cab elsewhere. What option exactly did you change to keep wifi on on standby? The only logical one I found is Network >Turn off wi-fi if no activity. I changed that from yes to no, but that didn't help...
I know how to do it but it requires some code to accomplish - I actually tested this yesterday on my TD2 (the advanced config trick does not work with TD2). Unfortunately I do not have the TD2 with me right now ... Perhaps I'll muck with it a bit later anyways, else you'll have to wait 'til I have the TD2 in hand again Monday or Tuesday.
It takes a ****load of power to do this though, and I'm not sure if it works in true suspend... it works for unattended mode though.
Well, I found the option in advanced config 3.3, hidden under "More options". But indeed it doesn't work. Wifi still disconnects on standby and starts reconnecting after standby. If you have a solution Chainfire, I'd be happy!
Tomkarb, can you confirm that the Advanced Config trick really works for you?
Isn't there anyone that has a solution? The Schapps advanced config thing just doesn't work
The solution is in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524490
Thanks! That works indeed!
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms]
"HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended"=dword:00000001
I never found that out, because I always soft reset immediately afterwards, thinking that was necessairy for the change to become effective. The soft reset wiped the change away though.
I've made a cab that changes the registry value to 1. It also copies the cab to the installationdir and adds a shortcut to it in the start menu. So you just have to run it from the start menu after each soft reset/restart (if you need wifi on standby). It only works when you execute it when wifi is off. Turn it on after installation.
There's a great freeware that i use called WkTask, which is a launcher, among other things, and it has the option of turning off the screen, but not putting the phone into standby. Disable the automatic power off and turn off the screen, this should solve your problem. However, i'm pretty sure your battery will drain a whole lot faster with the device never entering standby and the wifi on.
For added functionality, create a shortcut in the windows directory called 'long_power.lnk', and point it at the same file that WkTask uses (you'll see the path when you add it to the launcher, its a 'command call' btw). Then you can press and hold the power button to turn the screen off instead of powering off the phone (which is something i never do, does anyone?)
Hope that helps.
Thanks for the tip. I don't use wifi very often, only sometimes to remote control my pc. So most of the times I want it to go in standby and save as much power as possible with wifi off.
BTW, another solution for some of you may be to use a different ROM. I'm using Topaz Essentials 1.6 ROM (TESS1.6) from chef Aman now, and this ROM doesn't have the wifi turning off problem.

Does not work on my HD2
Hi all,
the Leo shoulda ask at each USB plug-in what to be (AS, disk or inet-sharing). Now, after I tried inet-sharing once, the question doesn't appear at USB plugin (now always the inet-sharing app opens), and if I set mode manually via Settings, then the AS mode is same as the inet-sharing mode.
Any ideas how to fix it w/o hardreset?
Hi
Go to:
1: Configuration
2: Inalambric control
3: Press menu:
4: Press USB to PC
5 Desactivate the menu inside ActiveSync: Fast data sync
If you have the menu: Fast data sync you will lose activesync
My menus is spanish, sorry for my English
Hope will help you
Best Regards
No offence intended,what Anastomosys has to say is correct although the words are slightly different so here they are in English..
1) Settings>
2) Other>
3) USB to PC>
4) disable by removing the tick in the box for "Enable faster data synchronization"
I've found that mine seems to be a bit temperamental about whether it connects to WMDC and having that box ticked does seem to mess it up a bit!
This has helped indeed, but only partially - still after each connection the f***ing Internet Sharing app pops up on the HD2
Thanks!
To make things even better: internet sharing is handled via IntShr.exe/IntShrUI.exe. Both can't be found in the registry (HKCR => some file association, HKCU => hides the apps from HTC TaskMgr, HKLM => HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSINTERNET_SHARING, whatever that does and in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\TouchGL\VirtualDesktop\WhiteList\INTERNET_SHARING, same case).
Any idea how to prevent this sucker from starting?
Newest update: I collected a list of what mode in the popup responds to which Option in HKLM\Software\HTC\USBToPCPopUP:
Code:
ActiveSync
Option 0
ActiveSync HS
Option 0 / 2 (does not get changed, manually setting 2 leads to this)
Disk
Option 1
IntShr
Option 3
Companion
Option 4
OnlyTwoChoice from 0 to 1 limits the choice to AS, AS Highspeed and Disk (and also prevents IntShr from executing), however in AS HS mode the device is seen as Internet Sharing device by Windows.

did you already try deleting the whole relationship on the active sync?
if not, perhaps you should do so and create a new one.
and see what happens.
it's not about the relationship. the error is on the leo itself, it doesnt even expose an activesync device, always a "windows mobile internet sharing device"
This happened to me and disabling the "faster transfer" box did get activesync back working but I was unhappy to not know cause of the problem. I found out what it was shortly after, I had disabled the "windows mobile remote adapter" connection in my network connections in vista. after disabling it (at time I thought it was causing trouble with wireless connection) when I plugged in the phone I would hear the failed usb connection sound and no sync would happen, re-enabling has fixed this. This might not be related to your issue but it was what was the problem in my case
On my wife's and my own Galaxy s4 running FreeGS4 v2.0 ROM - the hotspot works via menu, I have a toggle widget for it that works too. I can connect up with multiple devices to either phone...
But neither phone will allow more than 2 devices to connect at any one time.
I went into the LAN settings to confirm settings are correct - and they are, DHCP is active and allow up to 100 connects - this was default, i tried lower and lower numbers, all the way down to 8, but neither phone will allow more than 2 connections at the same time.
I tried to toggled airplane mode on and off, I've tried rebooting. I've tried manually entering the settings.
I'm starting to worry that it is a flaw in the ROM itself, but a friend of mine who also has the same phone and ROM as I do claims he can connect more than 2. So I'm not sure but I am at hair pulling out stage at this point.
Anyone have any ideas?
edit - search works! I found the solution, and I feel 3% more stupid for somehow missing it earlier

go to settings - hotspot - "press on configure->show advanced options->maximum connections" Thanks
Click on configure hotspot and page down in the pop up menu that appears. Click the box that says show advanced options and then set the maximum connections you want to allow. You can also set 2.4ghz or 5.0ghz in this menu.
Hi all,
Bit of a problem here, I know that in the ServiceMode menu (dialing *#0011#) there used to be an option for WiFi Power saving. After upgrading to the latest firmware, that option is no longer there. My problem is, I used to use that to solve a problem with an app I used by switching it off then switching it on when I wanted to use WiFi tethering (as this doesn't work with WiFi Power Saving turned off).
Before the upgrade, I turned it off... So, I need to know what this setting actually sets. Is it an option in build.prop? Is it a setting somewhere else? Is there another way to set it?
I want to set it back to, "on" without doing a factory reset as I no longer use the app that had issues with WiFi power saving being on but I do need to use WiFi tethering.
Thanks for any help in advance.
I hate to bump/double post but anyone have any idea? Or if you don't know, do you know how I might find out? I've Googled my fingers raw.
