I have my home wifi connected, and set to 'turn off when screen off'. The problem is that my phone doesn't seem to connect back to wifi if the wake the phone up after some time. This never was an issue with Captivate. But with this, even using a widget to turn on wifi doesn't seem to work. I need to go through all the way to wifi settings through the settings app manually turn it off and on.
Anyone else facing this issue?
I'm not because I have it set to always stay on. When I know I'm not going to he using the wifi heavily or I simply don't need it, I turn it off.
Rooted/ROM Captivate (For Sale)
Rooted Atrix
On my Nexus 4, when I am connected to a wifi network, and I turn the screen off wifi stops working after a few minutes. The phone is set to keep wifi on "always", and pretends to stay connected to the wifi network (it keeps the icon in the top right corner saying it is connected), but incoming Talkatone calls are not received, emails aren't received, and attempts to ping the device fail until the screen is turned back on.
It seems like the device is going into some lower power wifi state that isn't operating correctly. The minimize battery usage when wifi is on is set "off" also.
Please help, I use wifi for Talkatone and voip calls.

try keeping your phone on the charger...I had this problem with my Galaxy Nexus...and either keeping the phone on charger or switching the kernel i was using, was the only way I solved the issue.

Keeping the phone on the charger really isn't an option for me unfortunately... I actually noticed this on my Galaxy Nexus after the 4.2 update. I never had the issue with 4.1.
Do other people also have this issue? I literally get no notifications after my screen has been off for a few minutes. I'm thinking it might be specific to the wifi network I am connected to, so I am trying to change some of the settings for it, but nothing seems to help.

I've noticed the Wi-Fi stops responding to pings as well, I've just assumed this is a power saving option and pings are not processed when the phone is in standby. Even when the phone can't be pinged and I've turned off the mobile data, I still receive email messages, so ping or not ping, that isn't the issue I don't think.
Are you sure Talkatone is set up correctly? Applications like Talkatone would only process incoming calls if the phone remains on or it keeps the phone awake while the screen is off.

Hmm. That's odd. I seem to still receive notifications when the screen is off, even though ping doesn't work.
Talkatone is definitely not receiving incoming calls though. I don't see any settings that would fix this though.

Correction -> If I leave my screen off for more than some amount of time (>10 minutes or so), my connection turns grey, and I stop receiving notifications. When I turn the screen back on, the connection icon turns blue after a few seconds, and then I receive my notifications.
Apparently it's an issue with Andorid 4.2 and our routers. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40065
Has anyone else had this problem? Occasionally, I'll find that I can't send/receive sms or phone calls unless I toggle airplane mode or reboot. My phone will show a strong signal, and the status shows the signal strength changing, so I know the modem isn't locked up.
If this has happened to you, did you find a fix (and what was it)?
Hi,
My note 3 on the Three uk network does not reconnect data automatically after coming out of a area with no signel just stays in emergancy calls only until i either restart the phone or put it into flight mode and out again really really annoying. At work i get no signal and after finishing unless i remember to toggle flight mode i will not recive any text or phone calls until i do meaning i miss stuff.
Anyone getting really annoying having to put into flight mode and out about 5 times a day now!
My phone keeps turning on WIFI whenever I turn it off. I've tried all the things that could cause it but they are not working
Would help if you listed the things you have tried
Network Smart Switch disabled?
