Seems that my G2 doesn't always "re-connect" properly when I wake the phone up. My G2 is already setup to "Always" within the Wireless WiFi Advanced setup. Is this a common problem with G2s?
Mine does. May be a problem with your kernel
Mine sort of had that problem but then I just changed the wifi sleep policy so that it never turned off.

And you get better battery life in the bargain as well. Definitely a win/win.

I can't figure this out and its driving me batty. When my phone is on wifi and the screen is off, it will stop syncing with Google.
I turn my screen on and the wifi signal is grey, then after a moment, it turns blue and I get my Google voice texts, gmail, etc.
Dies anyone have any idea?

Go into Wi-Fi settings/hit menu key/advanced/keep Wi-Fi on during sleep choose always.
Problem solved.

well, i gave it a go and ran with it all day. still no incoming gmail or google voice texts when the screen is off
even when the screen is on, the notifications are very delayed. might it be a router setting..? it does only seem to happen at home..

what ROM/kernel are you running? Did you flash a kernel with updated wifi drivers and flash another (kernel) without reinstalling the ROM?
Otherwise, yes...check your router settings.
I'm sorry that changing out to wifi never sleeps, didn't fix your problem.

The stock Droid 3 ROM has a battery saving "feature" in the settings. Do you have that somewhere?

Make sure to read the changelog of the kernel. Some kernels include updated WiFi/Bluetooth drivers and if you switch kernels you must reflash the ROM to revert the drivers.

With your wifi only N7, how have you configured the "wifi on during sleep" setting?
Personally i chose never because i rely on my phone for notifications and my N7 stays at home at all times, so no need for wifi to be on all day.
I'm set to always, as I often leave things downloading while I do other things.

I'm also an always on'er. Battery life is good enough that I don't find any issues with it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I set it to never. Phone for notifications etc. If the n7 is around just pick it up and use it.

I had tried the never rule so that it would switch off during sleep but it seemed to stay awake. But now i use automate it app to switch WiFi off when the screen goes off, with a 5 min delay, its also set to come back on when three screen is switched on again, works perfectly.

I constantly use my tab with wifi at home and I have noticed that when my tab comes off standby (after unlocking screen) it connects to wifi, it never used to to happen. Running stock ICS, anyone started experiencing this? I think this is also why my tab runs hot and battery drains.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium
I think I may have solved my issue, under advance wifi settings I selected to "Always" have wifi on during sleep. My battery is not draining as much as before.

Mine was and at first I blamed the case. But it does it with every case. So i was thinking of returning it. But then I got this email from Poetic(i had slammed them on Amazon with a one star rating). It said:
We would also like to inform you that if you face any issue regarding wake up function mostly when you open the case we request you to please check your WIFI Connection (to make sure you are successfully connected to WIFI). If your WIFI connection is disabled or not connected to WIFI Successfully, then your device won’t wake up all the times. This is not the issue of the case itself.

I tried turning my WIFI on and connecting, but it did not help. Then I tried with it off. Same problem. Now I am thinking I really need to return this thing, only to find out my friends does the same exact thing. So what the hell? Are they all doing this? Most? Only a few? I really do not want to return if all of them are gonna do it, and it would seem a software issue in that case. But if mines got hardware problems I really should return it.
My case has been working fine.

Hate to say it but if you are on stock, I think the device crashes and does not power on with the cover anymore. I had that issue when I was on stock.
I've since moved to CM10.2 nightlies and the cover turns on the device every single time. No issues here.
Also, with CM10.2, no more random reboots. You owe it to yourself to get off of stock.
There definitely is an issue with having wifi on and no access point around w/r/t magnetic on
I've seen this on a couple of units
Here are the symptoms with my cover:
* It never fails to put my tab to sleep.
* With wifi off, it rarely wakes up my tab. With wifi on, it wakes up the tab quite often... unless the Tab went to a deep sleep.
* When plugged in (PC or charger), it works beautifully, wifi on or off.
So it's hard to point the finger to Poetic.
There are plenty of people who don't have any issue.
I have replacement coming from the Amazon seller, so will see.
Open your case and WAIT...
so far mine always turns on... BUT it may be delayed by 10-15 seconds.
(by that time most of us have closed/re-opened the case a few times).
Mine works like a charm, I cycle through every Locket ad in like 30 seconds using my cover lol
Mine fails perhaps 20% of the time. It can't be a cover issue though, because the cover is constant.
Just tested my Moko ultra slim case on CM kanged and it turns on and off like a champ. Quick and no delay. No reboots either. So for me it was a software issue.
For you, flash CM and see if it is. If you still have the problem on CM then exchange it.

Mine works fine with CM10.2 as long as WiFi is always on. If WiFi is set to turn off when sleeping it will not turn on after 15-20 minutes.

Sometimes it will wake up after a delay (20-30 seconds) and sometimes it will just sit there until I press the power button. My first gen N7 never had this problem. I really don't want to let my WiFi run 24/7 just so my tablet will wake up.

What's your battery life like, though? With light use, I can go a few days between charges.

WiFi seems to use very little power. I average about 10 hours of screen on time per charge.

I'm using the MoKo case and do not have any problems with the case not waking the device when opened. I must say though I did not purchase the case for this feature. The case construction is good, it fits the device perfectly and looks.well in place, and provides protection for the screen. For those reasons I am satisfied with it.
Just got a poetic replacement case, no improvement.
But (at this point) I think it's a tablet issue. If google knows they will fix it later, just like some people having multi-touch issue.
Even with my WiFi off, on CM, its perfect. Tested with WiFi off, even waited like 5 minutes and tested again with no issues. Probably a rom issue. Is this on stock with the latest version?

Mine is stock rooted, latest version, with a Moko case. If it sits idle for more than a few minutes, it will rarely turn on when the cover is opened. With short idle times, it will wake consistently. I may try CM eventually but, for now, I think I may just flash the Bulletproof kernel and enable the double tap to wake feature.

For anyone having this issue, I found a thread on the Google product forums about this. That's apparently how they became aware of the other issues that have been reported.

Anyone had issues with using the Chromecast with a G2? My music would stop after after a while with the screen off. It seems like the wifi would turn off and that would be the end of it. To combat that I used an app called REGON to combat this. I believe that app just keeps the wifi on. The problem is that REGON is killing my battery. Any suggestions?

This might sound stupid but have you checked under Advanced Wi-Fi settings to make sure it always keeps Wi-Fi on during sleep?
I don't see advanced WiFi options. Where should they be.

On my AT&T variant, once I'm in the list of all the Wi-Fi networks, I hit the menu button and it brings up a list of stuff like WPS Push Button... with the last being Advanced Wi-Fi. Don't know if yours would be the same.
Oh. Well it showed as always on. I turned off WiFi optimization so I'll see if that makes a difference
