Could anyone with a Leo in their hands please do a battery test leaving WiFi connected while the device is in standby? In many posts it's been mentioned that WiFi now remains on as a default from the factory, hopefully this is due to new power saving functions or sufficient battery to last.
Ideally if you could please run the test connected to an Instant Messenger program or some sort of VoIP connection (or both) it would be greatly appreciated!

Prob a silly question, but once the phone goes into standby (screen turns off), I take it the Wi-Fi connection is broken ?
Asking in case of push mails, because I do not get anything when in standby I take it that because Wi-Fi is also down.
Note - Just trying not to use GPRS, 3G when at home.
Another question does anyone know what the Wi-Fi power does, best battery or best performance other then what it says how is it doing that ?
Yep, Wifi is broken when your phone is in standby.
And Pushmail only works with GPRS and not with Wifi as far as I know.

thanks.
Jeegnesh,
To my amazement active sync works when your device is in standby and WLAN is enabled.
I use it now on the office and at home to receive my e-mail.
But to get it working properly you will have to disable "when new items arrive".
My device sync's every 5 minutes and notifies me when there is a new message.
Cheers,

Hi
Does anyone know application that can do below process?
I would like start my Universal's WIFI on predefined time /intervals and after certain connection time disable it again until next prescheduled time.
The idea behind is to turn the WIFI on to download my emails then turn off again and save battery power.
thanks
SKSchema should work nicely for you: http://www.s-k-tools.com/skschema/skschema.html
You can use it for lots of other tricks too.

Hello everyone,
I need some help because my "data connection" turns off by itself on my htc hd. I am on standard EnergyROM 'Genesis' as follows :

Someone have this problem?
Tanks,

Yep mine does the same (same rom) but it turns its self back on when its needed.
I believe there is a setting on HDTweak where you can set time period for data connection to remain on or you can disable this time period. Thing is, you wouldn't want it to remain on at all times due to costs depending on your phone tariff charges and also power drain on battery. It would be better if your data connection disabled when not in use and then connected again when required as pointed out by jakari above.

I have already verify this things on HD tweaks and it's disabled ("6.1 Disconnect After" menu on HD Tweaks). So why it turns off itself? That's the question ...
But thanks for your help
i have the same problem as well. i 've flashed many different roms including the official roms. but that problem still exist. very annoying when u use msn or twitter, it keeps dropping off. anyone please give us some help~~~~~~
Yes, same problem here. I left Yahoo messenger working via Opera on the Wifi and woke to find it had switched overnight to the phone network, with the data connection becoming active all by itself.. I downloaded Nodata which seem to prevent this sort of thing happening.
Its not so critical now as I've signed up for 'unlimited' mobile web access but I would still use the program, if and when I go abroad.
I'm using Resco Radio to stream live radio, and, while it works fine over hsdpa, I find it buffers every few mins over WLAN.
I have the WLAN set to "best performance", and am approx 75cm from the router - signal isn't an issue. I work in an IT call center so I have tested it with routers there and get the same issue - its the phone not the routers.
I notice that the WLAN symbol at the top of the screen seems to go to "connecting" when this happens, its as though it just drops out intermittently?
Has anyone else experienced similar or is my device possibly faulty?
Thanks!
I am using Wifi all day here in the states (as the phone only supports edge here).
I never had that problem. Wifi is super fast for me.
I did notice though that I think that after I installed NET3.5 Wifi became unstable.
So I removed .NET3.5 and it seems to be working fine and very stable now.
My Wifi setting are "balanced" and I have to admit that with this phone the Wifi power consumption is super low, comparing to other devices.
WiFi working fine here.
I'm using WiFi all day through work's WiFi and at home as well - both WLANs are perfectly stable and super fast here.
I have it set to "balance" for the performance. I'm also amazed how quickly it connects to the WiFi access point when its brought out of 'sleep' mode! MUCH quicker than my Touch Pro!!
FWIW, I have .NET 3.7 installed - no problems at all.
Ok, uninstalled .net...
That didn't help!
However I think I have figured it out, the stupid thing turns wifi off (even though it is in use) when the screen has been off a few seconds, I guess to save power, thereby interrupting my stream!
Now I just need to find a way to force it to stay on, battery be damned!
I like to listen to the radio when I'm going to sleep, so its plugged in to charge overnight anyway, and I turn off wifi when I go out....
have a look at this registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\BCMSDDHD1\Parms]
there's
HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended"=dword:0
How change Wifi Power Level to save battery ? For example at my home, my Wifi acces is at 2 meters...
I don't think it works like that - a wifi receiver as in the A500 consumes as much power as it need to get the signal. It's the transmitter (on your router) that can be changed to save power.
Can the A500 be used ans a wifi repeater-type thing, to extrend wifi range (if so, then it would use more power to do that)?
The WiFi is an transceiver full-duplex
So, sure in receiver you can't change anything in consumption, but in transmit if you change the power in transmitting, your decrease the power in consumption of energie
Hard to imagine wanting to reduce your WiFi signal. Most hardware and software if made to optimize the signal. If you're trying to reduce power consumption try something like "CPU Tuner" which adjusts many factors both automatically (or fine tuned by you) to improve battery life.
The other option of course is to turn off WiFi if you don't need it constantly. Put a switch on your home page to allow quick on/off capability to make it a snap to do this on the fly.

I had the same issue with my first a500-16gb, I called acer support, described the issue and they directed me to exchange the unit. The second one worked normally and could get a good signal throughout the entire house.
On closing the case they indicated that there were a batch of units identified with defective wifi chips on-board.....
