WiFi instead when locked

Is it me or it should be like that? When my phone is going to losj screen it just changes from WiFi to 3G connection and when i am unlocking it goes to WIFI

Its annoying, I get the exact same thing. If I leave it locked for a few minutes, it switches WIFI off, and restarts it.

Its automatically set that way. To leave it on: goto settings > wireless & network >wifi settings> press menu button then goto advance > set WIFI sleep policy to NEVER and you should be good.

Connect to WiFi network timeout?

Hello. I'm sure that this must have been discussed but I cannot find the answer using search. As is surely normal, I use WiFi within the home and GPRS when there is no WiFi available. If WiFi is connected and I go out for a short while, then when I get back in a WiFi area, the WiFi is still connected. However, if I go away for a long time, and GPRS is used for perhaps a regular weather update, then the WiFi disconnects and has to be manually reconnected upon return to home. This leads to GPRS being used in a WiFi area unnecessarily if you forget to re-connect WiFi. Is there a WiFi connection timeout value or any other setting that can be changed? My old TyTN II did not have this problem. Thanks.

Try this CAB
It disable disconnecting WiFi when phone is in sleep mode and with this phone automaticly connects to WiFi when Leo will be in range.

Thanks Franq_23_pl. I think that the CAB just stops WiFi disconnecting when the device is in sleep mode. That will just drain the battery, surely? My old TyTN used to disable WiFi when in sleep mode, but as soon as you switched it on again, WiFi would be enabled and it would connect if in range. The problem with my HD2/Leo is that if I am away from my WiFi for some considerable time (ie, most of the day), then when I get back home and switch the device on, WiFi is disabled, and I have to manually toggle in on. So my question is..... What are the circumstances that cause WiFi to disable itself, and Is there some way of stopping it happening?

OIC now. I think you having some battery saving app and this app turning off WiFi when iz not used. What apps or registry mods you have installed on Leo?
You have the same behavior after hard reset?
My Leo don't disable WiFi. When i go outside (for ex to work) and back after few hours my Leo connecting to my home wireless network automaticly.
I remember, that i had the same problem like you and it was caused by app, which had duty to save battery.

[Q] Wifi goes off on stand-by

Hello to all I have the following problem: When the phone goes in standby i noticed that after a few minutes the phone disconnects from the internet then resume immediately as soon as I touch the phone and the screen turn on.
I have this problem with both Wifi and with the data connection.
I tried to solve the problem with the wifi option enabled in (Settings -> WiFi -> Advanced -> Wifi sleep policy) setting it to Never. But I notice that practically when i wake up the phone from standby , he is not using the wifi connection , but the data connection, and after a few second he will re-connect to wifi.when I'm not using more wifi, but the data connection.
From what I understand after X minutes in Stand by Android will disable the wifi and uses the data connection, and when i "wake up" the phone by turning the phone screen after a few seconds reconnects with wifi.
It 'really frustrating to have internet to that goes "on and off" especially when i am at work and the signal for the data connection is not present, in this case i can't even receive email or whatapp message when the phone in in stand by
Is there a way to force the phone to always use wifi even when it is in standby mode without the "support" of the data connection?
Hi!

up please

well actually if wifi policy is set to never, it should NEVER turn wifi off when the phone is in stand-by (at least it doesnt turn off on my phone), thats just how it works.. have u tried turning ur data connection off ? does it still disconnect ?

If i disable the data connection, the wifi connection just turn off after x minutes when the phone is in the stand by (even if i set to "Never" the wifi sleep policy) and will turn on after few second when i turn on the display. So what can be the problem?
N.B. I have DISABLED all "power save" option and there IS NOT such app like "battery safe" etc...,i have also tried to reset my phone. But the problem is always the same.

Well, actualiy, the policy says: "Keep Wi-Fi ON durung sleep", so you should set it to "Always".

So, did you fix the problem?

T231 wifi problem after screen turn off

I have SM-T231 and i am using Russian firmware, Android 4.4.2. I have a small but very annoying problem which i couldn't resolve no matter what i tried. My wifi connection doesn't work after my screen turns off.
Wifi connection is set to turn off during standby mode to save battery power. I see that the wifi connection becomes active after i wake up my tablet with power button but i receive no data whatsoever. It doesn't get fixed `till i turn off and on wifi connection manually. I tried to use static ip feature by thinking that maybe my router causing the problem with dhcp but this didn't help.
Anyone have an idea what might cause this very annoying issue?

WiFi won't connect to know Networks when screen is off

As the title suggests, my phone will not connect to known WiFi networks if I do not wake the phone myself.
Image being away from home, having both mobile data and WiFi enabled. The screen is off throughout the whole time and when I reach home it is supposed to connect to my WiFi. Instead, it connects to my WiFi only if I wake the phone. If I leave the phone sleeping (standby) it will stay on mobile data, unless I wake the phone myself.
Is this regular behaviour?
PS. The phone has not problem retaining connection to WiFi networks when sleeping. It just won't make a new connection even to know networks.

There is a setting in wifi settings under advanced where you can change how and when the wifi must be on/off.

If you mean "Keep WiFi on during sleep", I have it enabled already!

Have you played around with power saving settings?
