Hey everyone. I'm having trouble getting smart settings to work. I have location and scanning on as well as my settings set up for when I arrive and leave home. It didn't work this morning when I left and didn't work when I got home. Granted I turned on location about 20 minutes from home, but that shouldn't be an issue. Any help would be appreciated.

power toggles conflict?
I had the same problem and finally got it working after uninstalling power toggles (along with turning on notifications from smart settings/LG apps), and then turning off phone and turning back on. I suspect in my case, there was a conflict between the 3rd party app and LG's smart settings.
Same, but Smart Settings runs
I turned on the notification, and I get notifications for both wifi and vibrate-only profile. The wifi actually gets turned off, but the sound profile doesn't switch to vibrate. However, when I return home, it does turn the sounds back on.

there is a significant problem i just found out (i have been using symbian before).
wifi connection will not stay connected when the phone turns off in standby mode?
i really need to keep the connection alive.
i could uncheck 'turn off in xx minutes', but then the display will stay dimmed
which is not a good solution for me. power/saving bar is on full left, also disconnect wifi in xx minutes is disabled.
so, how do i do that even when the lights are off? dont tell me there is no way for that.
You need to install Advanced Configuration Tool.

There's an option you can tick to get the wifi to stay alive whilst it's on standby.
thank you for mentioning this program. it is quite useful
i have tried the advanced config tool to keep wifi connection, but it seems not working.
as soon the light turns off, wifi gets disconnected. and it gets reconnected immediately when it's back on
i have changed both:
'turn off wifi if no activity: no'
'wifi auto-off timeout to 9000000'
is there another setting i am missing or am i doing something wrong?

I can't find the option to keep the wi-fi on during standby. I have the config prog installed, and have read the documentation, but can't find the option to keep the wi-fi on during standby!
Edit, sorry my mistake.
Yes I'm having the same problem also it reconnects fine.
But you are right it should keep alive even in standbye.
Hi,
I used HD Tweak to change this setting. Works perfectly, now WiFi stays connected when the Phone is in StandBy

Thanks . I just forgot this was the way to go ...
But keep in mind that this option will SUCK all your battery very soon.....
Why dont you just turn the backlight off instead of standby when you want wifi to stay on. This way you dont need to mess with wifi setting.

Good suggestion.
Is there a application that will help me do it .
I have seen that in Wktask manager but not anywhere else

I am using AE Button which has an option to turn backlight off.
btw: I am using version 2.6.3 which I think have a bug ie if you the use the option inside AEB to turn on wifi, the wifi stays on even if you press the top power-off button. This "bugged" version fits your requirement nicely.

And what about Heat up problem?? Keeping Wifi on will turn your HD into an oven - unless you keep it ventilated all the time

Same thing for me
the problem is wifi scanning.
on my old Nokia N95 (Symbian OS) i could turn off wifi scanning BUT keep the wifi connected to the router. that resulted being connected to something without constantly scanning for new routers or access points.
i dont know why but in all WM devices we do not have a possibility to turn off wifi scanning at all while keeping the wifi sesstion running.
Hi, is there a way to keep wifi ALWAYS on?
My mom doesn't have a data plan, she doesn't need one. She spends 22 hours a day at home with a wifi connection, so I got her this phone. But the problem is that wifi automatically turns itself off after a while! She has to turn it on to get the notifications. Is there a way to always keep it on so that notifications always come through? I've tried the battery management profiles, but unless I'm doing something wrong, it doesn't work correctly!
Any ideas? Apps? Or tweaks or something?
Thanks!
NEVERMIND! FIXED IT! I couldn't find the sleep policy but now I did ^^ Thanks guys!
OK, NEVERMIND! It's STILL not working! I got the policy to ALWAYS ON, but after a little bit the wifi connection disconnects! I went through the battery saving profiles as well, and same thing. Is there an application or a setting I can use to fix this?
Thanks!
you can try "soft locker" apps in market to keep your phone not "100%" sleep when the display turned off . .

I'll give it a try. What about any of those battery saving apps? The ones that auto turn on / off your wifi and 3G based on time. Do you think any of those could also work? I wrote Motorola and let's see what they say.
Thanks though I"ll give it a try today
is it possible to reset the database used for the "Smart mode" Wi-Fi option? When I first got my device I remember after a day or so the Wi-Fi would automatically turn on if I was in the vicinity of my home and my parent's home. Now it won't turn on in either locations, however it will turn on in certain locations "randomly" that do have Wi-Fi... for example today at work it would turn on several times after turning it off and entering certain floors that carried Wi-Fi. There has to be a database of some sort or a way to reset it so the only two locations that matter to me, home and parent's home, get preference to "Smart mode". any suggestions?
Theoretical, haven't tried it, but try this -
Settings / More / Application Manager / All / Sprint Connections Optimizer -
Force stop
Clear cache and data
reboot
thanks for responding, unfortunately I do not see "Sprint Connections Optimizer" even under the All tab in Application Manager. I'm on 4.3 if that makes any difference...
That's Really Odd....

I don't have the Sprint Optimizer as well. I found this thread because the "do you want to use smart mode" (paraphrasing) pops up all the time for me despite the fact that I always have it enabled. It's quite annoying when it pops up in the middle of the night and lights up the entire bedroom. Anyone else suffering from this deluded feature?

Hmmm.... I have a 720T on 4.3. Could be the culprit/difference. Can't investigate what I don' t have.

anyone know how this smart mode thing works? should I leave wi-fi on all the time and let it do its thing or what? seems like with this option on, wi-fi keeps turning on even when I turn it off.
By any chance, is this setting in WiFi / Advanced what you're looking for?

thanks for this link! never noticed that specific option in the advanced part of the wi-fi settings. wonder how true it is when the article states that leaving this option on saves battery versus firing up the GPS chip. I understand GPS would suck more, but would it do it silently at the app's request even though the app isn't running in the foreground? Anyway, this setting might be intertwined to the Smart mode Wi-Fi option, however Smart mode Wi-Fi is a separate option along with this one you pointed out... which kind of raises more questions!
This is starting to annoy me. At work and home I'm on wifi all the time. It is faster, less latency, and is all around better than Sprint LTE here.
The v20 likes to toggle off my wifi when screen is off. Which I could understand if say overnight and not used for 8 hours....but simply at work here, 30 minutes or an hour-wifi, wake the screen, is toggled off. Which wouldn't be bad if the phone toggled-on when I woke it up...Which if it did I wouldn't be posting. I've so far tried disabling all the wifi "power saving" toggles in Wifi>Advanced still does it.
Note it doesn't seem correlated to signal strength. I'll be in the same room as the router, and it'll toggle-off wifi. Even tried setting up a Smart Location to keep wifi on-didn't help.
Ideas? Exorcisms?

I'm sure you've already done this, but in Wifi>Advanced, under "useful settings (tmobile version, anyway)," there's an option for "Keep Wi-Fi on when screen is off." Make sure that's set to yes.
What ocelot4ark mentioned, under advance > Keep wifi on during sleep set to always.

Yup already set to "Yes".
You might have those fake apps which claim to increase your speed
Check all your smart settings as well... There are a few possibilities for auto shut off in there as well

Mine's been doing the same thing since I got it on 10/18. Factory reset didn't fix it. Drives me nuts when I'm casting and I unlock the screen, I have to reconnect it to whatever I am casting. And yes the first thing I checked was to make sure wifi was set to always on.
My Wi-Fi is also ****ing around now. Anyone have a solution yet? This is getting stupid now.
Everytime I use my phone there is annoying chromecast pop-up comes from nowhere and it makes my phone unusable. I don't have chromecast it's probably connecting to someone else's. I went in settings I turned off notifications and its still happening.

Have you tried turning off Nearby device scanning in Settings/Connections/More connection settings? Not sure if that would help but just wondering..

Hmm, I googled around and it looks like you're not alone. Unfortunately the fix might need to come from Google..
