Hi guys. I would like to know how could I kinda force my wifi to keep on even if the OS defects poor connection. While on some poor connections, as soon as I turn it on, it goes down insanely fast, so I have to go to my wifi settings then it quickly turns on again. It really does pisses me off.
I have root and Xposed installed. How could I buff it?

Hi there
First time poster, shame it has to be a cry for help!!
I've got the touch HD, and I love it, however over the last week or so its started losing its HDSPA and 3G connection and dropping to phone only. At first I thought this maybe network related (T-Mobile), however it seems to do it in all locations.
I'ver noticed when it does it, the data connection slider in the settings tab, is switched to off, and as soon as I flick it back on, it picks up the signal fine (only to lose it again after a random amount of time). I've downloaded Tweak HD and set the internet to always on, however that doesn't make a difference.
I've not installed any custom roms, its the factory build, really hope someone can help
Thank you
Do you see the connection drop while the screen is on or is it after you have put the phone in standby (screen off)?
It seems to be random, I can be halfway through browsing the web and it'll drop or just coming out of standy.
The most common time seems to be when I do a send/receive on the email tab, it shows the 'H' icon then as soon as it starts syncronising, it drops out to radio then I have te re-send to get it to connect again.
I seem to recall the same thing happening to me back when I was using the stock rom. For the first week everything was fine, then the connection would drop when I turned the screen off or even when the phone was on. If you've tried setting the connection to "always on" and that does not fix the problem, then I would next try and download Schaps Advanced Config and enable/disable the different power management settings. I've suggested this to a few others for disconnect problems in standby and it seemed to work.
The turn on wifi automatically feature in the Topaz 6.5 HTC comm manager is a nice thought for saving battery life but it drives me nuts. Most programs, like Opera, will trigger the wifi to kick on when needed. But other programs, like Slingplayer Mobile doesn't kick the wifi on automatically. So, every time I run it I have to manually toggle the wifi to get it going again. Basically, as soon as it's in standby, the wifi goes off and STAYS off until needed. I want it to always come back on after waking device up. I do NOT want a hack for keeping it on in standby.
My Touch HD's comm manager says 'Connect to a Wi-Fi network'. Once I turn it on, it stays on no matter what. As soon as the phone is taken out of standby, wifi instantly reconnects. This is what I want my Topaz to do. But as soon as I wake it from standby, wifi is off until a program needs it. Good idea, not working well enough for me though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i had exactly the same problem... :-((
Try the TD2 Tools.
After I got the touchwiz update and the second smaller one my wifi is messed up. It doesn't stay connected once the tablet is left alone for a couple hours. The signal strength color turns to white instead of blue when it does this. To remedy I have to turn the wifi on and off on the tab. Anyone else with this issue?
I am not seeing this issue. Have you tried a factory reset yet?
check to see if you have wifi set to never sleep (in advances settings). i had similar issues and setting it to never turn off worked for me. no battery drain issues with that setting either.

Thats bugging me too. Not always but from time to time I see "No internet connection" when the tablet is left alone. Before the updates I never had this. The other issue is wifi roaming. To get connected again I have to push power button, sometimes unlock screen, even sometimes it waits until the wifi settings screen. Dumb!
Ya I have it set to never turn off. I would hate to have to factory reset it and lose all my settings and Apps got a ton of stuff on this bad boy.

Apps are easily re-downloadable. If you're rooted then install Titanium Backup and back up all your apps with settings.
Do you have aan older router? I have the same problem (I have to turn wifi on/off if I leave the tab alone for 20+ min) but only at my office where my router is a bit older. At home with my brand new Linksys I have no issues.
My wifi is set to never sleep btw...
Lately, I can't get wifi to turn off sometimes. It's the flipside of the bluetooth won't turn on thing. At first I thought it was a Llama/Tasker issue, but it wasn't. Even rebooting didn't fix it. If I tried to turn wifi off, it immediately restarted again. Over and over again.
I prefer to have wifi off when I'm away from places where I use it.
Finally, I found that if I turn bluetooth off, I can then turn wifi off some, but not all, of the time.
I know lots of people have had the bluetooth won't turn on without rebooting problem, me included, though not lately.
Have you had this wifi won't turn off problem?
Sorry to bump, but after no response, I'm concerned that nobody else is having this problem. Anyone seen this before?
Hi,
My H990DS has been bothering me for a couple of days as WiFi turns itself on without any kind of intervention.
Turning it off manually or having the phone restart does not help. I made sure the latest apps installed make no impact.
Playing with Developer Options made no difference.
I am ready to Factory Data reset.
Anyone experienced something similar ?
Thanks,
My 918 always shows wifi active in GSAM's graph, even when set to "Never" under the "Wifi on while inactive" option in system settings. I ended up just downloading Leandroid from the play store and setting it to disable the wifi radio, and renable it periodically to check for push messages. Seems to work fine with doze and standby time has improved.
Under settings, location, three dots top right, scanning, turn wifi scanning off. It turns back on anytime you use wifi and you manually have to turn it back off each time.
Mine (918) does this all the time. Im thinking its a 7.0 thing. There has been a few exceptions where it has stayed off. In my case I drive through a busy section in town and it constantly connects to the 20 or so open wifi spots so I turn it off. Well once I pull into the garage at home its magically back on.
Maybe something to do with networks it recognizes, Xfinity wifi wreaks havoc on it as well.
As soon as I uninstalled the latest apps, the issue disappeared. Not a single exception in 24 hours.
I suspect a Sip Client had caused the problem.

What!?
That sounds utterly horific for the battery, nevermind privacy concerns. I thankfully haven't experienced anything similar myself, but I've only ever used custom ROMs so perhaps that's the cause. But that sounds terrible.
