We have been having issues with our ISP so I am using Tasker to document WiFi connections and disconnections. It basically updates a Google Sheets spreadsheet on each connection/disconnection event.
I have this identical task on my (5.1.7) 5T and my wife's (fully updated) 6T. My sheet showed one disconnect/reconnect at 1:53am. Hers, however, showed a connection every 20 minutes starting at exactly 10:20, with no disconnection events. All night long, connection established every 20 minutes.
What could this be?

Hello,
I've having problem where as I am unable to connect to T-Mobile GPRS/EDGE on my MDA. I thought it was caused by bad cell connection, but I tested this with my hx4700 and N90 and I always have good connection.
I did some investigation and noticed that the connection was made, but no data can be passed through. After several days of investigation, I can make an accurate assumption that it was the MESSAGING application that is causing it.
I had the Messaging application to check for mail every 15 minutes and it'll automatically do so without fail all day long. But the connection stays on and if I try to connect via Internet Explorer, Weather Panel update, NewsBreak RSS update, or any other IP-based application, nothing get transferred. Even when I disconnect the connection and reconnect.
THe only way to fix this is to SOFT RESET the device.
Anybody know why?
Is anyone not having this problem? I.e. you set Messaging app for auto-check every 15 minutes and your EDGE/GPRS connection ALWAYS work (except in no-cell- signal area), be it for PIE, RSS, SSH, Telnet, etc.
Hi,
I noticed that my Hermes very often connects to 3G/GPRS (about every 5 mins). I have PocketWeather installed which is set to update current weather every 60mins and forecast every 4 hrs, so this shouldn't be it. I also use PhoneAlarm.
Anyone has an idea, what could be initiating those connects? Is there some kind of "sniffer" that looks for programs connecting to the inet?
Back with my Omnia 2 there was a feature when the screen is off for x amount it would disconnect data automaticly and i had it so my weather app would check weather updates every hour. So in the end every hour data would connect and update the weather and then after 2 minutes disconnect.
During the day i had it so when i opened Opera it would connect to data then and there otherwise was disconnected. Oddly though MSN would stay connect all day without issue.
So wondering if there is a way to disconnect data after like 5 minutes automaticlly and then when i lauch a browser/weather update it then connects. I guess this is the best way to save battery.
Hey guys,
Nexus S stock 2.3.4 Gingerbread here.
I have my Wireless sleep policy set to never. Indeed, the battery graph tells me that the wifi is constantly there. However if I leave my phone idle for some 30 minutes and then when I turn the screen on, I realize the wireless and signal strength icons are grey. However, during these 30 minutes, my K-9 client which is set to PUSH idle on gmail, stops pushing emails. I can receive emails on my laptop with Thunderbird but these don't pop up in K-9.
Using aLogCat I can see that when the phone is idle, K-9 complains of a connection reset by peer. Also I get other connection exceptions, such as the G talk service unable to connect. However they don't permanently fail... eventually in the logs they can connect... but later on fail to connect again.
Turning the phone on and using the internet for a bit seems to bring the wireless back to those services.
At first you could think the problem is with K-9 but the fact that other synchronizing applications fail to connect hints at a problem at OS level.
I've got K-9 set to re-establish the PUSH idle connection every 25 mins if broken.. so maybe it's K-9 that's actually forcing the wireless to come back or something after this 25 mins threshold has been reached.
Anyone experiencing something similar ?
I'm having a problem that has persisted across my last 2 devices, my previous Nexus 4 and my current Note 3. When connected to wifi at work, my phone will not sleep and is manifested by "Android OS" awake time show up in the battery information. Today I did a test, 1 hour with wifi on and 1 hour with wifi off. For the hour wifi was on, Android OS kept the device awake for 47 minutes. For the hour wifi was off, Android OS kept the device awake for only 2 minutes.
From my research there seem to be two possibilities:
1) A wireless router problem--outdated, incorrect settings, etc.
2) High volume of data that is broadcast to all devices across the network--something on the network is repeatedly pushing data out to my phone and waking it up.
I've ruled out an issue with the phone or an issue with a particular app, as this problem only manifests itself on this particular wifi network.
Unfortunately, since it's the work wifi network, I don't have access to router settings, hardware, etc.
Does anybody have any ideas how to remedy this or am I just going to have to avoid connecting to wifi at work?
