Wifi wont turn off in sleep mode

Hi Guys,
I got my HD2 today and i have to say i am impressed!
I only have one problem which i am not able to resolve.
When i turn on WiFi, it wont turn off during sleep mode (when i turn off the screen). i need to manually turn it on or off. this is how it came out of the box.
I wonder if other HD2 users are having the same problem / found a solution?
I tried advanced config tool, and i unchecked the "wifi during sleepmode" setting, but after each reboot the settings just come back.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi mate, you should look this

I thought that guy just want to keep WIFI on but you did.

thanks man but it does not help me with my problem. I cant seem to be able to get WiFi to auto turn off when in standby. the reg tweak will work until you reboot the device. after reboot the WiFi again won't turn off when in sleep mode unless I manually turn it off.

Bump.
Can any other HD2 owner please confirm if this is happening on his device too?

Same problem.
HDtweak and AdvanConfig does not work. After soft reset, wifi-on-standby is back ON (checked).
Been trying to find a Auto-Disconnect for GPRS(HSDPA) but the above 2 apps does not work too.

have you tried to change wifi power settings to high? I think it does work then. I guess the medium setting is something special...it keeps the wifi connection alive in standby, but also doesn't consume much power. I have an exchange connection active, so i always need an internet connection. The moment i turn on wifi at home, it stays on, even in standby, and my data connection over 3G disconnects. My exchange still works perfectly...and no huge power drain! My wifi power setting is on the medium setting...

Yes, I can confirm I'm encountering this issue too - on my HD2.
Strange, 'cos I wasn't at first, I'm sure - I remember the wi-fi notification icon flashing when resuming from sleep.
glenner05, can you confirm that you can get wi-fi to sleep please?

Hmm.. thought it might be connected to the htckeepwifionwhenunattended registry value but mine's set already to 0.
There're others trying to do the opposite!

Anyone else found a solution?

I think HTC made this by design. If you turn GPRS data off and leave Wifi on while in standby you will be surprised how low the power utilization is.
I tested and with GPRS data off and Wifi ON, in standby you lose about 2% battery per hour...that's nothing.
It seems that on the HD2 the Wifi power consumption is really optimized so no real need to turn

Mine is on default Wi-Fi settings and when it goes into standby, wi-fi goes off.

Yeah goes of in sleep mode, if you get wifi toggle, you can choose to keep it on or turn it off when you like .
Shame the grps is still a problem....

pgamble and jrvenge: you really mean wifi switches off on the device when it goes to sleep? Ie. you see it disconnect from your router or something?
jrvenge: what did you mean by, "if you get wifi toggle"?
clubtech: when I read your post I agreed with you, maybe. I can't now be certain I remembered correctly that I'd seen wifi reconnect. And yes, the power consumption does seem low

There is a cab floating about here that enables you to force the wifi on always or turn it off.
If you forc on it stays on, if you turn of it goes off.
Return to normal and the hd2 does its power saving thing, so im all sorted there, just need a timeout on the gprs now.
If you cant find it let me know. It works a treat.

can youplease post the cab ? I have been looking for something like this .

Sure pm me your mail and i will send it

GPRS Disconnecting software here fella's, tested and working on my HD2 100%
May also turn off wifi but i've not loked yet, just about to leave for work so will check later!! lol

Ok just tried and it does not do what we want with WiFi

Yes ... if device goes to standby, when it comes out .. you see wi-fi searching to connect again ... so it definitely disconnects and the reconnects when it comes on again.
Paul.

Yup your right!
If it's in balanced or best battery mode then it turns off in standby and reconnects/searches again when you press a button to bring up the lock screen.

[Q] Phone doesn't go into deep sleep + wifi always stays on

This is very annoying, I have spent the whole morning trying to find a solution for this issue. The battery runs out already fast as it is, and now the phone is not
Battery drained about 20% at night by itself. Currently draining about 1-2% per 5 minutes when idle. What do I do? I have looked on various different threads for a solution, but did not find anything to fix this issue.
How do I fix this?
Thanks, in advance.

Also some details.
I had my phone at home, I prefer the phone to use WiFi networks when syncing and updating, but to have phone turn them automatically off when not using them, that is when the phone is locked and not syncing and updating anything. But apparently it doesn't do that, it has WiFi on at all times for some reason. And I don't know if its related to WiFi, it doesn't appear to go to "deep sleep"

For me, it was the last Google Maps update. Try to disable "Reporting Location" and "Location History" under Location settings on Google Settings app(the one with the green icon). I had around 25% drain over night and half of it came from this.
Try it and see if this can help you.
:fingers-crossed:

Like above say, disable location, especially if you keep wifi on.
Leaving wifi on while sleeping itself is not good for our health anyway, so if you have data switch to 2G, its at least enough to keep internet messages coming while saving battery. And if its wifi wise, apply pm.sleep_mode=1 in your build.prop. AND, scroll up a little, wifi_supplicant_can_interval(something like that, from its SHOULD BE 15 change to 300-600).
Disable unused apps and use greenify.

Thank you for the answer, but sadly it didn't seem to do it. My WiFi is still always on, even though I have it set to turn off when phone is sleeping at WiFi advanced settings.
Although the phone entered deep sleep mode when I manually turned WiFi off, but I'm not sure if that was the case.

I understand, but I forgot to do so, I actually have an app that turns on air plane mode at certain time. But that still doesn't fix the issue that the phone doesn't enter sleep mode with WiFi on and doesn't turn it off, even though it's set to do so.
Also I did not quite understand what you were telling me there, as I got the phone last week and it's my first android phone. The app you suggested could cut it, but that means that whenever there will be an auto check for news sequence I will be downloading it with mobile data? Is there an app that could cause this?

I was about to update on this, but I just got notification about 4.3 update. :laugh:
I will update this post, if this problem still exists.
UPDATE : Of course, still the problem persists, Phone goes to sleep when I have Wi-Fi turned off. But when on, even though I have it set to turn off during sleep mode, it keeps the phone wake and drains the battery.

How is it related to my router exactly? My iPod disconnects from Wi-Fi no problem.
Thank you for trying though.

I had left my phone this night with Wi-Fi off, but mobile data and 3G was on, Lost 7% in 7Hours from 47%. Does this seem okay, or a little bit too much? By the time I answered 2 emails and made 1 short phonecall and checked on battery logs from 2 different apps, and changed my wallpaper, battery has dropped to 33%. I'm not proud.

The answer to your problem is JuiceDefender Ultimate, available from Play Store.

Unfortunately this is normal, the battery life is not the best feature of nexus 4. How many screen on time hours do you get averagely?

This fixed the Wifi always on issue for me.
Turn WiFi on: Settings, WiFi, Menu (3 dots upper right hand corner), advanced, uncheck scanning always on.
Hope this helps.

Wi-Fi Not Allowing Deep Sleep

So I posted this in a different thread but figured I would post it here to see if anyone could duplicate my findings. I have a Note3 from T-Mobile and for whatever reason leaving the Wi-Fi on will not allow the phone to go into deep sleep mode. I noticed when I was down to 40% battery after 10 hours with only one hour of screen on time. After running some tests I had only 2 minutes of deep sleep those entire 10 hours (tested using BetterBatteryStats) I tried setting "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to Never and unchecking "Always allow scanning" under advanced network settings but neither of them fix the issue. In fact, after several tests I concluded that setting never for "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" wasn't even functioning as my access points still showed the client connected while the phone was asleep.
Can anyone else confirm this issue is actually a bug and not just my phone being defective?
Here's my original post on the topic regarding how I found the problem and what I have tested so far:
OK so after only 2 days of owning this phone (got it late Monday night, the T-Mobile variant) I finally figured out why I'm getting such bad battery, and I suspect the same thing may be happening for the other people in this thread. Hopefully this information helps at least one person.
My battery stats was almost identical to all the other users in this thread that had bad battery, I would get barely around 10-12 hours on the phone with less than 2 hours of screen on time. After using multiple apps to track down the issue I finally got what it was.
Wireless. Yes, wireless was my cause. But the thing is Wi-Fi didn't show up at all in any of the battery apps so I assumed it was a non issue. I've had other phones and have always kept the wireless turned on the entire time without problems. The basic problem is not that Wi-Fi is using power itself but it's that by default the phone cannot enter deep sleep while connected to Wi-Fi. This is why trying to use apps like BetterBatteryStats will lead you nowhere initially (though they were useful in finding out what was causing the issue) You can discover this by turning on Wi-Fi and connecting the phone to a charger, then disconnecting it so your BBS information will reset. Then power off the screen and power it back on after 10 minutes. You'll notice in the other section that deep sleep will have less than a minute time while awake probably has close to 9 minutes, if not more. This is with everything else turned off, almost no apps, and no special Samsung stuff enabled.
Under Apps > Settings > Wi-Fi > Menu > Advanced there are two options that should help this: "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" and "Always allow scanning" I set the "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to Never and unchecked Always allow scanning and rebooted the phone. And low and behold...nothing. Yes, these options don't work (at least not to fix this problem) The phone still won't enter deep sleep mode while the wireless is enabled. Based on my company's wireless devices I can see that even with the screen off for well over 10 minutes it still shows connected as a client meaning the wireless is not turning off properly while it's in sleep mode. Or perhaps it can't go into sleep mode because the wireless is on which stops it from going into sleep mode and turning off the wireless. My guess is that it's a Samsung bug.
The reason why there's so many people here to get good battery usage is because they're either used to turning Wi-Fi on only when needed and keeping it off. You'll also not notice it if you have more than 6 hours of screen on time because you could easily assume that it would make sense that you phone would only last 10 hours total with that much screen on time, even though it should have technically lasted 20+ hours with only 6 hours of screen on time if the phone could have entered deep sleep.
So what's the real fix for this? Unless it's by design my belief is that it's a bug and won't be fixed until Samsung/T-mobile notices. I can't test to see if the same thing happens on other carriers so if someone feels like testing this theory out it would help.
For now, I guess we're just left to manually turning Wi-Fi on only when needed and leaving it off in all other cases. For those that have the T-mobile variant, make sure you also go into Settings > General > Backup and reset > Collect diagnostics and uncheck the "Allow Diagnostics" as that will probably be the highest offender of Partial Wakelocks (it'll show up as com.carrieriq.tmobile.wakelock or System Manager Application)
If anyone wants more information on my testing let me know!

That's because the 'Keep WiFi during sleep: Never" setting only disconnects, it doesn't shut down the WiFi radio.
You're going to have to use a manager (Like Deep Sleep Battery Saver).
Or just hit the toggle yourself... If you're going to keep it disconnected in sleep anyway, just swipe down the notification bar and hit the bloody toggle.

The problem is that it doesn't disconnect, the access point 100% shows it is connected and transferring data every now and then. But the real issue isn't weather it disconnects or not but it's the fact that Wi-Fi will not allow the phone to go into deep sleep mode. For now I am fine with switching Wi-Fi off and on as needed, but with no other phone have I needed to do this before and definitely seems like a bug.
But regardless, what I'm trying to figure out if this is a legit bug that I should submit to Samsung/T-mobile or if it's just my phone and I should ask for a replacement. If anyone has BetterBatteryStats and could test this with their Note3 that would help.

My stupid phone has just started this same issue!!!! Freaking annoying, after only 8 hrs from 100% charged state, the battery is at 46% with only 26 mins screen ontime, I checked out that the phone never goes into deep sleep. What is going on and what can be causing this? Did you manage to resolve your issue?
PS I checked out wakelock detector but doesn't tell me a thing, as what program is keeping the phone awake all the time. Starting to hate this phone and miss my S3

What is your GPS accuracy setting set to? GPS, Wifi or Networks? Try setting it to GPS only.

Well, your issue looks pretty similar to mine, which I solved with this Xposed mod (you could give it a try if you're on KitKat): http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-wi-fi-deep-sleep-t2752947. I was experiencing that even when "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is set to Never, Wi-Fi still was awake most of the time according to battery stats.

Deep Sleep issues?

My phone has not been able to get into deep sleep. For the last few days that I've checked GSam, it's always been at 0s of deep sleep. Just checked right now and after 21 hours, my phone has gotten 10s of deep sleep. I've done a search and looked through many pages of posts on some of the various battery discussion threads but I haven't been able to find anything. Does anyone have a possible remedy for this or explanation of why it's happening? Is anyone else having trouble going into deep sleep?

Mines is the same, I assume it's because I charge my phone every night, which is really the only time my phone would sit still inactive long enough to actually enter doze.

I might of fixed my draining battery issue so maybe you guys can try it out too. My issue was my phone would not go to deep sleep and would stay awake even when the phones display was off so something was keeping it up. I tried all the different methods out there including the package disabler and doing the hard reset with the cache reset. I was browsing the developer options in the settings screen and looked at my running services. I noticed that my contacts and a. Program called com.qualcomm.location had a message next to them saying restarting while all the other programs just had a countdown of how long they were running. So I clicked on each and pressed stop and I also re-downloaded the package disabler and disabled the com.qualcomm.location. after all that I synced my contacts again and just did a simple reboot and after that my phone was able to deep sleep. Now my battery is not draining like it did. So in my case those 2 apps had an issue and kept trying to reset itself so the phone was never able to sleep. I would recommend looking at your running services in the developer options. go into the running services and see if anything is trying to restart itself over and over again

So I did finally achieve deep sleep. I tried a few things from the temporary battery fix thread and I wasn't able to pin point one thing which worked, THEN, I restarted my phone and it wouldn't go into deep sleep again. I tried wiping the cache and restarted and suddenly it's going into deep sleep again....
I'll keep an eye on it and will update if anything interesting happens.

I finally charged my phone prior to going to sleep and it finally did dose last night, the phone has to be stationary to enter deep sleep

Doze and deep sleep seem to be too different things. My phone will sometimes doze without going into deep sleep. What's really weird is that sometimes my phone will randomly stop going into deep sleep and a clearing of the system cache immediately fixes this. There have been at least two times I can confirm I *only* did a cache wipe and the issue was remedied.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and why clearing the cache helps?

Anyone figure this out? Also is everyone on stock? Im rooted and on superman rom, this is happening to me every day now after i charge it over night. I have to restart my phone to fix.

same for me on Galaxy s7 flat exynos sm-930f, no root, stock rom
very annoying
if you find a solution suitable for me (without root) please let me know

same here to me stock exynos s7 when plug off the charger in the morning have to restart the phone otherwise battery dies half day

I figured out that for my phone it defenitly is somehow connected to the fast-charging function.
When using the fast-charger the phone doesn't go into deepsleep anymore.
It happens as soon as the phone touches the fast-charger, it doesn't even need to fully charge for this to occur.
When charging with everything else, incl. Qi nothing happens, but as I said, after the fast-charger was connected - no deepsleep.
At least that's what I observed, no guarantee that this affects everybody.

It is the same issue that has been discussed for a while in "high android system battery drain" thread. Read up last few pages.

S8 battery drain after oreo

Hey guys so I have an s8 and had serious battery drain after oreo update. I've fixed it. I think.
Turn off VoLTE. Not sure if its a bug or what. My phones been back to normal for about 2 weeks. Wanted to post earlier, dont know if anyone else has figured this fix out. Worked for me and a friend. Both of us are on canadian s8s and had the same issue.
It was being cause by phone never going into deep sleep. Something kept causing wake locks and I pinned it down to ims service. Turned VoLTE and phone went back to normal right away. I did not perform a reset btw. If I turn it back on it goes right back to absolute **** battery life.
Settings > Connections > Mobile networks > VoLTE calls
Hope this helps someone.

What's that and how to turn it off

I have a setting on that page labelled VoLTE calls. I turned if off. Maybe a difference between our roms. Try searching for the setting and disabling it.
Are you experiencing drastic battery drain after installing the oreo update?

No difference for me with and without volte off.
Exynos Oreo March Security patch here.

Get accubattery, wakelock detector, betterbatterystats. Give them and permissions and check if your phone is sleeping or not.
My phone before I turned it off would never go into deep sleep. I would normally get home with 50% battery if I was using my phone heavily all day mostly on Chrome and playing music on play music all on data no wifi.. after the update I would be lucky to get home with 30% with little to no use at all. Even after turning aod off and turning down screen res.

S8 battery drain stopped
I have updated to oreo and battery backup was worst.
I stopped all the sync but not good still overnight drain is 20% or more
I have reset the network.. use the setting search option.. this will wipe your wifi details and bluetooth and other network details saved.. after reset switch off the mobile and power on the mobile to recovery mode wipe cache and restart.. after this mobile overnight discharge is less than 4% only try it...
