Wifi goes off when screen times out

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

Shut down with wifi connection on sleep mode

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

what the hell is going on? video included.

Hey friends,
Since a few weeks my WiFi is acting up. Not the connection but when I try to turn it off it keeps turning on and off all by itself as by the hand of a ghost.
When I interrupt the on off loop manually by tapping the switch it will stay on but as soon as I turn it on again it starts Alternating between on and off.
Please see the video https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9a6C2ppGHVGVHhLM0x5R2U3RUE/view?usp=drivesdk
I flashed superman Rom again (clean install) still the same problem.
Thanks for your help

Its the WiFi scanning feature. You can disable it in location settings. on 7.0 its under the "improve accuracy" setting.

Thanks for your response.
I don't have 7.0
It makes no sense that I can't turn off or on the my WiFi

I checked, so want help. As soon as I turn wifi off it will start looping on off on off..

its same on 6.0. just check you location settings

Doesn't look like a feature but a bug of the phone.

I tried it and it worked! Thanks so much for your help.
But it's still strange that it would constantly do that in very short intervals..

My phone turns on wifi automatically. How to fix?

Recently, i bought a Korean V20 F800L and received Oreo update. But every night, at 23:00, it automatically turns on wifi and keep i will have new notifications when i wake up.
I go to bed at 22:00 and always turn off wifi, close all recent apps before that. I think it may be something relates to Sync, backup or update but i couldn't find it.
Is there any solution for this?

Check settings-> smart settings and the configuration you have there.

nothing turned on

I don't have oreo yet on my V20 but I don't think that settings have changed that much so try to check at
settings->apps->configure apps->special access->modify system settings
There you will see the apps that have the authority to change your settings. Check the configuration of these apps one by one to see if something is set for the hour that the wifi changes to on.

YT7260B can't find sleep mode

Hi, I have recently purchased and installed a Android headunit from this seller: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100..._list.0.0.30e679d2JBVDmT&gatewayAdapt=glo2nld. Everything works well, except for the sleep mode. It seems that the headunit does not go to sleep went the car is turned off. I have seen videos about a sleep mode setting which i can't find in the settings. Where would this setting be or does this headunit not consume much power when the car is turned off? I cant find it either in the factory settings tab or the "other" settings tab.

After a long search I have found the solution, its in factory settings > engineer test debugging > password is 26959910 then direct shutdown mode has to be selected.

I was going to update to that new firmware, but if there is no sleep settings yet I will stay on 1.70. Radio is working fine at this time.
