Ever since I upgraded to Froyo, when I try to put my phone to sleep the screen turns back on. This has been happening since the first Froyo leak(DL30).
Has this been happening to anyone else and does anyone know how to fix it?

Check wifi and gps settings...there are reports of those turning the screen on...
What in the gps and wifi settings would be causing this issue?

When searching for wifi/gps lock it turns the screen on...
It is still doing that even when both wifi and gps are off. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Has anyone had any wifi problems, mine was OK yesterday but today it drops the wifi but then joins back as soon as I click the wifi in the notification bar. I'm just thinking if its because my battery is low or is it a common problem.

I've had this issue with a speedtouch router, but didn't have it with a netgear DG834
Does it have full signal?
Yes its full but then just drops altogether. I have charged it now and seems to be OK so not sure if it was because of low bat or mabee just a hiccup

Go to your wireless setting and then click Wi-Fi disconnect policy.
Set it to "never disconnect". You can also set it to Never while plugged in if you have the cable connected. Some routers will have trouble auto-negotiating if your device has a sleep/disconnect policy set.
That or it's some other weird issue like a low battery/wi-fi issue like you said.
I had this happen once while I was using the touchpad to scroll down a website. Was anyone also using the dock touchpad when it happened? I thought I found a gesture that turns off the WiFi. Of course, this has only happened once in about 10 hours of use.

I had a similar issue and the new firmware released today fixed it for me.

I am 3.1 and not root but my Wifi keep droping off once in a while when the tab in sleeping mode. I set it to never disconnect and have to reboot because it kept scanning and wouldn't find it till reboot. Any suggestion?

I have dropping wifi issue, and i had to disconnect and connect again without rebooting. This happened since 3.1 update. I think this may be caused by decrease in wifi driver version.
I also posted this issue on another thread (issue with 3.1) and hopefully ASUS rep will see and fix this issue.
Since 3.1 I am also having this issue and its pissing me off Hope for a fix soon.
Now I'm having wifi issues as well... My wifi will automatically turn off... When I tried to re-enable wifi, the wifi setting will say "turning off" and grey out... Only way to recover was to power cycle..
Now I'm starting to worry about 3.1 update... I wish that I can downgrade to 3.0.1 without any major force close issues.
my gf has this issue with her tablet resuming from sleep mode, just throw it in airplane mode, wait 5 secs n turn off airplane mode.
This new-with-3.1 issue has been mentioned in a couple of other threads.
Now... if only we noobs had a clear way of reporting significant bugs (like this!) to the appropriate folks at ASUS.
Yes I have been having the same problem. Just started today.
same to me~~ the wifi keeps dropping randomly, I want a fix!!!
Me too

Ever since 3.1 update, I too have problems with wifi disconnecting. Seems to happen most often after I wake from sleep. I have the wifi set to stay on all the time, doesn't help. After waking from sleep, flipping the wifi off (airplane mode) and on again seems to fix the problem.

i'm havig the same issue,wifi drops, when the tablet is sleeping, I have to discoonnect, then connect again to get it working. Wifi speed also seems slower with 3.1.
Possible Fix
While fiddling with my router I just made the discovery that when changing the channel to 12 or 13, the signal dropped out. Channels 1-11 worked fine. When set to 'auto' detect the signal occasionally drops out. I assume that when on auto it is occasionally accessing channels 12+13 and that is the cause of the problem. So for those having wifi signal problems try setting up a specific channel in your router settings and see if it makes any difference for you. I hadn't any problems before the 3.1 update, but Asus seem to have rolled back the wifi driver, and I guess this has affected a fair few users.
My device is running stock 3.1, never fiddled with the system in terms of rooting, ever. It's a WW sku device.
Obviously this shouldn't happen. And most likely wont affect US users as they don't have these channels. It may not be a fix for you but hopefully it will help someone running a non US build.
So I set the WiFi sleep policy to "Never when plugged in".
I.e. screen off = wifi off (on battery), and screen off = wifi on (on charge/plugged in).
Just want to save battery, even though battery life is already pretty good, especially coming from my 'charge every night' HTC Desire!
Problem is, it decides to change itself to "Never", even if I am not using the tablet. (checked by going back into the setting and finding the "Never" radio checked.) Can anyone else verify if they have the same issue?

same here, no problem setting up a different policy
Thanks for the reply.
For me it seems to change by itself after quite a while. (like overnight)
So, have you always had yours on a policy other than 'Never'?
So I've decided to set mine to the same setting and my setting sticks. However when mine does go to sleep on battery and I wake it up, sometimes it never reconnects to the wifi or rescans. So I am forced to turn off wifi manually and backon for it to reconnect.
Anyone else ever have that issue?

you need to set your wifi setting to Static IP instead of DHCP. This will resolve your issue. I had the same issue and now its fixed.

Seems to be a common problem for any device with a Broadcom 4330.
Broadcom's policy towards open source has always sucked, and crap like this is the result.
I leave the WIFI open all the time...
I have the same issue. Wifi sleep policy changes by itself to "Never", draining the battery in just a couple of hours.

Turning off WiFi in sleep mode doesn't work
My 10.1 will not turn off WiFi when the tablet goes to sleep, per my selection to turn WiFi off wen the screen turns off. WiFi remains on when the tablet is in sleep mode--I can ping it successfully from another computer in my home network anytime. I want to disconnect whenever the screen turns off for a couple of reasons: 1) to cut down on WiFi traffic overall (I have a limited monthly data allowance) and 2) to keep some of the snoop sites from gathering information from my tablet.
3.2, rooted, kernel 2.6.36.4-cyanogenmod+ [email protected] #1 (overclocked)
Any suggestions?
Put it in airplane mode when you aren't using it. I have a button on the home screen to turn on airplane mode. Disables all radios, and really saves battery.
Airplane mode did it. The app I installed is Auto Airplane Mode. It simply puts it in airplane mode when I press the on/off button to turn the screen off (sleep) and takes it right out, usually by the time I swipe the screen, when I turn it on again. Works every time, no problems. This is much better than trying to debug the original problem, which sounds like it must be common to a lot of phones and tablets.
Thanks, Dave

Nice, I didn't know there was an app for that. Will save me a press when I sleep the tab!
i have read an old thread with a similar, not solved, problem, but i didn't wanted to write in a so old thread...
so...
when the wifi radio is on, my iconia a500 suddendly turns on the screen and it stays on also for various minutes, sometimes i guess also until the battery is completely finished (i have found more than once the tablet off because of battery drained in the morning, so i guess it was with screen on all night long)
this happens also if i set wifi to go off when display is off.
i have tried many different roms (taboonay, lightspeed ... and now i have thor rom 14.2, installed yesterday) but the problem is always here.
if i manually turn off wifi, this seems to never happen... or at least it never happened while i was watching the tablet during the last months
does anybody knows a solution, a hint... or anything that could be helpful to make this issue less annoying?
thanks!

You might have a program installed that is constantly calling for wifi access?
That's the only thing I can think of?
On my Rom, I haven't ever experienced that problem.
My settings are as follows:
Airplane mode on
Wifi On
Wifi disconnect policy: when screen turns off.
also when i just turn it on it happens, even with no services or program needing wifi...
but you gave a me a good idea to try...
i will put airplane mode on and check what happens now
and anyway, i'll check again my programs

i'll keep my eyes on the screen
hm for me it sometimes happen but it's like once it two or three days so it's hard to track it down ;/
For me it is quite common....
To check it i keep it next to the tv while i watch it, or next to the computer
Dal mio Iconia A500
Can someone please clarify what I am missing in these settings:

If airplane mode is turned on doesn't that over ride the wifi on setting?
So if airplane mode is on wifi will always be off so the disconnect setting has no bearing.
Can someone please confirm above or explain..
thanks
no, you can put airplane mode and then turn on wifi
and seems like it is working well... but i don't want to talk too early...
Airplane mode is for tablet/phones with data connections. Airplane mode just turns that off

Yes, but for some strange reason it helps with the wake up problem some have
That's what I was getting at - when airplane mode is turned on it overrides all other settings and wifi can not be engaged in any way until it (airplane mode)is turned off.
Yup I was just answering Spud
Airplane mode only refers to the 3g/4g cell radio (so it turns off wireless network data/phone calls/texts etc.). You can still turn on wifi and use it when airplane mode is on because this is a different radio (well in the a500 there is no 3g radio). After all many airplanes now have wifi on board, however you're still supposed to have it airplane mode.
Thanks.
I haven't been able to turn in wifi with airplane mode on - it takes a longer push (hold) on the wifi button to engage.
I now have wifi on with airplane mode on - didn't realize airplane didn't also disable wifi.

Incorrect! You turn Airplane Mode on, which turns off wifi, then turn on wifi with Airplane Mode still turned on (and airplane mode stays on with wifi turned on as well).
after some days trying i have noticed that putting in airplane mode solves the problem...
but not always the tablet turns off wifi and stay in airplane mode when i turn off the display, it is surely some annoying app (or widget) that makes this happen.
i'm trying to understand which one

The only way to do that is process of elimination. Knocking out the variables one by one until you find the culprit, which has the potential to be a long, painstaking process. Start by uninstalling, one by one your apps that require internet access, and wait a couple days In between each one to see how your tab reacts.Then again, it may be an app that you wouldn't think needs wifi access to work, but in the background is calling for access.
Good luck with it!

Well there you have it.
All stock based ROMs allow it to be done.
hey guys just bought a new s4. the issue what i am having is that it is turning on and off the wifi connection automatically. cant have a stable connection. what is the issue?
Are you on stock or custom ROM?

no thats not the issue. the phone's wifi keeps turning on and off randomly.
Well if you're on stock and have the latest version, I would try doing a factory reset, if that doesn't work it could be hardware. If the WiFi itself is what's turning off rather than the connection being bad the problem is probably with the phone.
looks like this solved the problem
Uncheck the Wi-Fi Power Saving Mode option
Remember that it will use more battery power, and the setting gets reset at reboot.

Is it only turning off when you put the phone in sleep mode or is it random? If it's only in sleep mode it's just the power saving settings, most phones do this.

random. but now it is working fine.....
If it keeps working fine just put it down to a random glitch. If it goes wrong again factory reset and if that doesn't work use your warranty. The WiFi shouldn't be turning off randomly even in power saver, power saver just means it turns off when the phone is in standby.
download wifi analyser and see what the crosstalk is like. it works fine at home for me but at work where there is loads of crosstalk it wont hold a stable connection. Its done it with 2 phones i had i9505 and i9500 so i think its a trait of the phone, poor radio.
