Scheduled E-mail Sync through Wifi - problem with standby?

Hi all,
I want to be able to sync my e-mails with an Exchange server and I want to do this through Wifi where possible to avoid using GPRS.
I had hoped to use push e-mail through Wifi but it seems that's not possible.
The next best thing therefore is to set up a schedule to get Activesync to do a sync every 15 mins.
I'm finding that even this isn't working as it should. I do get e-mails but it's definitely not syncing every 15 minutes and instead it only seems to sync when the phone is active for a decent length of time. I think the problem is that Wifi isn't active when the phone is in standby and hence activesync is only able to sync when I actually use the phone. Activesync does come up with error 85020006 which seems to be related to not finding a connection.
Is there a way to get Activesync to enable Wifi when it is due to do a sync? Or does anyone have any other ideas of how to get round this?
I did find a reg hack that is supposed to keep Wifi active in standby. The hack didn't seem to work and I don't think it's a good fix to this problem anyway since it will use up so much battery life. Really I just need Wifi to be active when Activesync needs it.
Thanks

Any ideas?
Surely I can't be the only one that wants to do scheduled e-mail syncs through wifi?

i have same problem. did you find a solution ?

Any luck here?

I somehow managed to get this working on my d2 original 6.1 rom.
cant replicate it on dutty hgr 6.5 or stock 6.5
it automatically enabled wifi when syncing with eas server and then turned it off again.
i tested several options to enable wifi in standby, one of then fixend this on demand only wifi when in standby. i have not been able to replicate it again, i would like to have it again though. i disabled gprs and had a constant ping on the phone so i know it woke ut just in time to sync.
please let me know if you find out.

Data Connection always on...Please help!

Hi Everyone...I am having a HTC HD, on WM6.5. I have activated hotmail/live and gmail push email on my HD.
My data connection is on automatically everytime it needs to sync for new emails, but it will not switch off by itself after sync and even when it is idle again.
Anyone could point me any software to have this data connection switch off after idle for a period of time? I read in the HTC pro section that someone mentioned about issues with answering calls with the programs installed to disconnect data after sometime when phone is idle. Will this happen to HD as well?
My battery is running off quickly when data connection is on, would really appreciate if anyone could help me to solve this.
Millions thanks in advance!

Email sync via 3G NOT wifi even though available

I have looked and looked, and cant seem to find a solution that works for me. I am with Telstra in Australia (why do Telstra like to make things so difficult??)
My problem is that my Outlook Email will only sync with exchange via 3G even though there is a working wifi connection availalable. I get heaps of mail so I am rapidly going through nearly 1G of data each month - even though I am on a good package this is not ideal!!
From my understanding of this thread ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611724&highlight=activesync+work+connection I updated the Broadcomm Network Adaptors to Internet (they were Work), and then deleted the proxy settings for the Telstra Internet connection.
BUT still my mail is updating over 3G and not wifi. I can access Internet etc over wifi though.
Interestingly, I can only update Bigpond mail over wifi and not 3G. Thats not a big deal as I get minimal mail to that account and I am happy to check it at home - its the Outlook email thats chewing up heaps of data that I worried about.
I hope that I cant be the only one with this problem so if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it! (I know it will be one check box deep in the phone settings, I just dont know which one it is!)
Thanks

That's how it works. Push (Activesync connection) needs a direct connection between the server and device, so that the server can page the device when it's got something for it. This wouldn't work through wifi, because when you're on wifi you're behind a router, which doesn't allow connections from the outside to reach your device. So Activesync will always want to use the data connection.
One thing you can do is NOT to set activesync to receive new mail when it arrives, but only manually or at time intervals, it might work.
Or, simply set it to download only the first 5kB of each message, which is always enough to see what the mail is about , and you can always click "download whole message" for those you need. If you manage to use 1GB with 5kB messages, you're really spending your life on your email box

Thanks so much.
You would think that if Blackberry and Apple have managed to get their email to push over wifi that MS could get Direct Push to work over wifi too!! I've disabled MS Direct Push and changed Active Sync to check every 5 minutes. So, its not quite the same, but its near enough for me!
Thanks again ... I will stop searching for the solution now (and will reduce the download setting too ...)

Sarah, same exact problem here, it really annoyed me, then only way I could have used wifi to sync my outlook, Gmail, etc(which have the same issue) is to set the phone to Airplane mode and then enable wifi, only then it will sync via wifi.
Thank you Kilrah, that was a very spot on answer - it is very apreciated !
Cheers !

Wifi Problem: notifications/sync problem when the phone is on wifi

I have a tmobile Samsung Galaxy s4. It is not rooted. I have it updated to the latest update.
Whenever I keep the phone on wifi and the screen is off, I don't receive a notification if I get an email, snapchat, whatsapp message, groupme message, or anything. So pretty much, it seems that after I put the phone down, it isn't syncing any of the applications. This happens only on Wifi. I've messed with my router but there was nothing i could do to fix it. I have a linksys router.
This is a big problem for me because I don't want to use up all the data on my phone by turning off the wifi.
The "Keep wifi on during sleep" is on always and has been like that forever. Does anyone else have this issue or know what to do? Thanks in advance.

Wifi data sync issues

I have an up to date rooted 6P and I've noticed that when wifi is on, I'm not receiving notifications and sync is VERY slow. It'll look like the app in use is frozen. For example, while testing I would send an email to myself from another mail app to my gmail. The outgoing message would never send. As soon as I switch wifi off, it instantly sends. If Wifi is on, I won't get notifications, but as soon as I switch it off, I"m flooded with all of the ones I should have been getting.
I have other android phones laying around connected to my wifi and they get notifications, so I'm thinking it's something with the 6P? The only thing I've thought to change about my router is to put it into bridge mode because I'm using it with a U-Verse gateway, although if the router was the issue, you'd think my other devices would have problems as well.
I've googled the issue a lot and have only found posts from back in Nov-Feb about google apps/gmail specifically and it was something google pushed a fix for. This will be any app, gmail, hangouts, facebook messenger, slack, etc.
I appreciate any advice! Phone has been reset, router rebooted, etc already.
