Hi,
Is anyone aware of a utility out there that will Auto turn off WLAN after a certain time period or after no network traffic for a time period. I 've dont some searching and googling but come up blank.
I am aware of the "Auto turn off WLAN if not connected" feature, but this does not stop my battery going flat when I forget to turn off WLAN while I am in the office and the access point is still in range.

Kayzee,
This is caused by your Internet settings.
1. Go to Programs/settings/all settings ( choose it from the menu on the bottom right corner ).
2. Tap Connections, within that tap once more Connections
3. Tap Advanced, than Select Networks
4. Under "Programs that automatically connect..", select My work Network instead of the mobile connection and tap OK.
From now on, it will never start data connection when trying to go to Internet, but you can always start it manually from the Comm manager.
I hope it helps, good luck !
If you search the forum, you'll find quite a few of solutions. But what works for me are:
1) BsB Tweaks - use it to disable the "data connection" (3G)
2) WiFi Toggle - use it to toggle the WiFi on & off
In "data services" turn everything to manual update, e.g tweeter, stocks, ...
Keeping the wifi on constantly doesn't actually consume much battery life and it's only the 3G really sucks the battery juice.

This doesn't work. Every time I check the Internet connection by loading a random webpage via the sense UI it still has an Internet connection, even if I doublechecked before to see if the Internet connection setting were off. This is frustrating

Yes am wondering how can i turn wifi completely off??
If i use google maps and then i go back to home ..i can see the wifi widget toggle says that is 'turning off' yet..i had gone to settings and specify for it to be turn off?
I had gone to settings too and specify to only receive data from gps and not wireless (just in case is trying to scan for a wifi router)
so has any body come across this? or has anyone found a solution for this?
It's a bug with the current firmware, when you open google maps the wifi is enabled to help fix your location faster, it doesn't matter if you disabled it in the settings. It seems fixed in newer fw versions.
I noticed the same behaviour on my SGS too, but it's not due to Google Maps.
Everytime when I use the phone, the first few seconds it tries to turn off wifi. I made sure wifi is off everytime I finished using the phone or when I'm not in a wifi zone to save some battery.
This is pretty annoying.
I am having issues with my wifi. After it has been in sleep mode for a while it will not connect properly. The WiFi is connected to a network but the icon is grey, not blue and will not actually do anything.
Another post suggested to turn off the Google Wifi scan but it was already off when i went to change the setting in advanced WiFi settings. Any other suggestions I could try?
Wifi - Settings - Advanced - Keep WiFi on during sleep -> Always
Wifi - Settings - Advanced - WiFi optimization -> turn it off
check those two, could help.
Hi
My Nexus Player's wifi disconnects after I don't use the player - say for an hour. The problem is that when I'm using Kodi for example, the WiFi doesn't automatically connect back on: I have to go to WiFi, choose the network and actually connect.
I've looked in settings and other places, but can't seem to find a setting that disables the WiFi from disconnecting during extended inactivity ...
Any one with similar issues ? How did you solve them ?
Thanks !
