Hello,
I have a very big problem with my new google nexus 7. I bought it two days ago. My tablet sometimes when is connected to wifi network (at home, at work etc.) automatically shut down on sleep mode. Does anyone have the same problem like me? This is very frustrating and I don't know what to do. I think about asus service but maybe is some solution. Please help. I will be very grateful. I made factory reset and hard reset and still is the same.

Goto Settings -> Wi-Fi and then tap on the menu icon (on the upper right of the screen), choose Advanced and change the "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to "Always".

Thank you for your advice but I have this option set up to always. I don't know why my nexus shut down itself on sleep mode

Hi
I have an HTC Desire HD
I have changed a setting somewhere (i remember doing it) which switches off wifi when the screen times out. I did it on purpose at the time thinking it would come on again when the screen was unlocked. Wrong!
The problem is I now can't find or remember the exact setting I changed!
Could be powersaving, wifi, screen lock or any other non-obvious setting!
I have tried everything I can think off. At the moment, everytime the screen goes off, so does wifi. Very annoying
I would really appreciate any help

I wasn't aware there was an option for this is froyo! Unless you're referring to the WiFi sleep policy? Try menu > advanced when in WiFi settings but I think this only allows you to determine the time out period, not the condition (ie the screen going off)... however, there are apps that will allow you to do this. Are you sure you haven't installed something that's causing this?
Go to wifi and press menu. Its under advanced settings.
Hi
Thanks for your tips. Found it!!
It wasn't in the Wifi, or screenlock settings (I had looked at everything on those!!)
I remembered that had installed the Battery Booster app and then messed with the Battery Teak settings to turn off wifi on screenlock
Actually a handy app, if you set it up properly, which I hadn't!!
Thanks once again for the prompt

don't forget after change setting hit menu button again to save the change lol
Hi all,
I've found these forums invaluable in the past, and as I can't do anything until Monday thought I'd see if anyone has had the same problem.
I got the Optimus 7 yesterday, and all was well during the initial setup. During Wifi setup, a list of available connections popped up immediately, and my password was accepted.
After adding my Live account, I downloaded the Xbox Live app. During the download I noticed that it was using the 3G connection rather than Wifi.
When the download finished, I went back into the Wifi settings to ensure it was switched on. It had turned itself off.
Now when I enter the settings and switch on the Wifi, the 'Searching...' text appears, but no networks are ever found. When I turn on Bluetooth, the orange progress bar dots appear at the top of the screen for a few seconds, then Bluetooth switches itself back off.
I've tried a factory reset through the 'About' screen, but the issue remains.
Seems like a hardware failure to me, but if anyone has had the same problem and knows of a fix that would be great as I'll have to wait until Monday at least to return it.
My first LG phone, wish I'd stuck with HTC.
Thanks!

Try to make a reset from the MFG "secret" app, here is how:
-Dial: ##634#
-Press the "call" button
-On the MFG screen input this password: 277634#*# (translated is appmfg#*#) and press enter. Now the MFG icon is listed on the "programs list".
-Now you can access to many options, tests.....
Press 4.Factory reset. and confirm.
Let us know if this help
Thanks for your suggestion! I can't try it now as I had the phone replaced. I meant to post but it slipped my mind.
New phone is working fine and I'm very happy with it!
Hi,
when I am downloading a large file, my screen turns off after some time when I do nothing. So far so good. But when I resume to my Android I must see that the Wifi-connection was turned off, too - I think because of battery power saving.
But it was turned off during my file download, so I have to download it again and I have to keep my screen not to turn off by tapping on it periodically. That's what is annyoing me.
I recognized that the connection is not deactivated directly after the screen was turned off. It lasts some time (minutes?) then the wifi connection is turned off, too.
Is there a way to prevent the deacitivation of the wifi connection when the screen is turned off?
Thanks for your answers.
Yes,
Goto settings>wireless connections>wifi adjustments
There you should find an option for WiFi selection politics. Just choose not to never disconnect.
Cheers
Hmm, it is already set to "Never disconnect".
I think this setting is only useful when you want to switch automatically between mobile data (GPRS/UTMS) and WiFi.

No. That happens whether you want it or not if you have a wifi access.
Or I have a couple of busted phones at home that totally ignore this setting.
Tell your screen to never shut off, then change back.
Guys,
I updated my tab a few days ago. Now the market looks different but unfortunately I'm facing another irritating problem which I have no clue how to solve.
Every time that I turn off the tab, and let it be idle for 10 minutes, when I turn it back on, the WiFi icon will show no bars - which translates into no internet connectivity. That happens while the WiFi button is still pressed (green in the pop-up menu). In order for the device to connect to the net I need to turn the WiFi OFF and than ON and it works.
I checked the WiFi sleep configuration and they are set to "never turn it off" I also rebooted the device but with no change.
Please let me know what to do... as this thing sometimes just drives me crazy.
Thanks.

Flash a custom rom bro. Otherwise you are stuck with Samsung's awesome bugs. If you don't want to flash a custom rom there isn't really much you can do about it considering you're not rooted. What did you update to? KMP???
I did the regular Samsung update -the latest one that was released a couple of says ago. The problem with rooting is losing the coverage I have for insuring the device... which I'm reluctant to do. I'm sure it has a solution somewhere...
Yes I confirm.
This "reconnect" issue is being discussed on many forums with no solutions yet. (except custom ROM)
My n7 turns off wifi when I leave my house and doesn't turn back on when I get to work. Every morning when I get to work, I have to manually turn it back on. Is there a way to prevent the wifi from turning off so it automatically connects to my work network when I arrive?
BTW, I do have the "keep wifi on during sleep" checked.
Thanks
Me too. Every time it sleeps or the screen turns off, I have to switch it of then on for it to connect.
I have that always connect setting checked too. I also installed a Wi-Fi locker that's supposd to help but doesn't. There is an option called 'connect when the screen turns on - but you have to pay/upgrade. I'm tempted to pay but I think there should be a local fix/workaround.

Do you use Tasker or a Smart Actions app that is supposed to turn it off when you leave your home? Any Battery Saver options set?

I have an app called Battery Mix which just provides information about the battery and charge times, but it does not do anything with processes or battery/power management (so it claims). The device has had this issue since I got it out of the box.
I think the OP and #2 are having different issues. In any event...
Open the advanced Wifi settings by pressing the menu button, then Settings, Wireless & networks, Wi-Fi settings, and tapping the menu button again. You'll have a choice to either Scan, or go Advanced -- go Advanced.
Tap the Wi-Fi sleep policy entry, and you'll get a pop up dialog with the choices you see in the picture above. Choose Never.
