[Q] Annoying wifi deactivation

Hi,
when I am downloading a large file, my screen turns off after some time when I do nothing. So far so good. But when I resume to my Android I must see that the Wifi-connection was turned off, too - I think because of battery power saving.
But it was turned off during my file download, so I have to download it again and I have to keep my screen not to turn off by tapping on it periodically. That's what is annyoing me.
I recognized that the connection is not deactivated directly after the screen was turned off. It lasts some time (minutes?) then the wifi connection is turned off, too.
Is there a way to prevent the deacitivation of the wifi connection when the screen is turned off?
Thanks for your answers.

Yes,
Goto settings>wireless connections>wifi adjustments
There you should find an option for WiFi selection politics. Just choose not to never disconnect.
Cheers

Hmm, it is already set to "Never disconnect".
I think this setting is only useful when you want to switch automatically between mobile data (GPRS/UTMS) and WiFi.

No. That happens whether you want it or not if you have a wifi access.
Or I have a couple of busted phones at home that totally ignore this setting.

Tell your screen to never shut off, then change back.

Wifi wont stay on

My n7 turns off wifi when I leave my house and doesn't turn back on when I get to work. Every morning when I get to work, I have to manually turn it back on. Is there a way to prevent the wifi from turning off so it automatically connects to my work network when I arrive?
BTW, I do have the "keep wifi on during sleep" checked.
Thanks

Me too. Every time it sleeps or the screen turns off, I have to switch it of then on for it to connect.
I have that always connect setting checked too. I also installed a Wi-Fi locker that's supposd to help but doesn't. There is an option called 'connect when the screen turns on - but you have to pay/upgrade. I'm tempted to pay but I think there should be a local fix/workaround.

Do you use Tasker or a Smart Actions app that is supposed to turn it off when you leave your home? Any Battery Saver options set?

I have an app called Battery Mix which just provides information about the battery and charge times, but it does not do anything with processes or battery/power management (so it claims). The device has had this issue since I got it out of the box.

I think the OP and #2 are having different issues. In any event...
Open the advanced Wifi settings by pressing the menu button, then Settings, Wireless & networks, Wi-Fi settings, and tapping the menu button again. You'll have a choice to either Scan, or go Advanced -- go Advanced.
Tap the Wi-Fi sleep policy entry, and you'll get a pop up dialog with the choices you see in the picture above. Choose Never.

CM10 Battery Drain and Feature Request

Hi there,
I installed CM10 (thanks a lot for it by the way) this morning and it seems my display sometimes just activates without reason. At first I only noticed the device being extremely warm, so I check battery usage and 92% of it have been "display". The device went from 95% to about 50% in a matter of a two or three hours with me not using the tablet at all in that time. When I checked again a little later, the display was active, although I am sure I had sent the device to sleep mode.
Also, here are two features I would like to request:
1. Please add a way to rotate the lockscreen
2. Please add Mobile Data as a switch for the quick settings (the one you get to by "clicking" the clock). It is rather annoying to go through the menu to activate / deactivate it...

OK, found the fix for that problem... the other one still stands
And I have got an additional issue now:
my Mobile Data Connection doesn't work. My carrier is o2 Germany and the stock ROM had some issues with that carrier as well a while back. Maybe it is the same problem?
For now I am switching back to stock, without mobile data, the tablet is only half as usefull, even with the otherwise better ROM

Add your APN Setting manually and it works nice. They are in the 3G Settings. I even had to just add a almost empty one to make things wake up again.

I have actually experienced the opposite--battery has been outstanding since flashing the ROM. I usually turn on Airplane mode when I am not using the phone, and am certain to turn off WiFi as well. Try that and see if it makes a difference. Also, be sure you are charging with an appropriate charger!

Thanks, that solved the 3G issue and, as far as I can tell after one day, the issue with the screen activating, as well.
For the other point, being able to activate / deactivate the mobile data easily, I found Power Toggle (can't post link, just look for it in the play market or remove the blanks: ht tps://play.google. com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc) which can add a widget to the notification area that works great

You can add more switches to the menu popping up when clicking on the clock. Thats what I did. Its in System -> Notification Bar (Or something like that, I use it in German ^^)

50% more battery tip on Wear24 (and other LTE AW watches) -> ~3 Days /w Min Usage

so i have been seeing REALLY crappy battery usage on my wear24 on aw2.7 despite turning off alot of things and barely using any apps.
now i EVEN have always-on ambient , and my watch lasts almost 3 days. since its always on, i rarely need to use the watch (eg. wake). i use the Sleek face which shows my agenda , weather, date, various other info on my face all the time so i just look at it. and incoming messages are shown still. here is what i do:
-KEY THING: AIRPLANE MODE! eventho i turn off LTE in connecticvity, i dont know if its a bug, but it's super annoying it keeps coming back on. this is the #1 change that improved it IMMENSELY. i think this turns off alot of useless wake functions and sync'ing
-turn off wifi (auto still keeps searching)
-only use BT
-delete msg+ / my verizon
-turn off OK google / tilt to wake
- no gestures
- no location
-turn on always on
One more thing if anyone can figure out, the watch auto turns on battery saver when under 10%. i'm curious if we can force this mode when its at 100%.

How did you delete msg+ / my verizon? With "adb?
Thanks,
Rob

update to AW 2.7, u can disable via system apps

turning off every thing is not called smart, better buy a normal watch then

I'm not going to try all of these things, but I have noticed that it re-enables the cellular radio. I'm going to try putting it in airplane mode and just keeping the bluetooth connection on. My only issue is, is there any way to get rid of the airplane icon on the watchface?

I believe rebooting the watch is what turns on the cell signal. Mine stays off until I reboot. You don't need to turn on airplane mode to turn off the cell signal. I was going to write an app to do this automatically on boot, but can't unless someone finds a method to root it.

For the always on feature, the watch face actually changes to a different face from the one I set. It's like a screen saver version of the face which I am using. Is there any way to fix the face throughout?
And how do you guy update to 2.7? Mine updated to 2.0 and it says it's the latest version.
And where is the setting for the power saving mode? Mine enter power saving at 15%.

You can disable the charging display by going into app settings and disabling the charging app. I never found a way to keep the screen lit up while charging even with the always on enabled so I wrote an app to do it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.turndapage.watchwake

You're taking about ambient display. The app that sets your watch face controls that. Some have settings for this either on watch or on phone, some don't and you can't change it if you're using that face. I use watchmaker, which lets me edit every image layer in my faces and select which parts stay on. Also can create layers only visible in ambient mode.

got adb over wifi going, got the apk from apk mirror (the watch specific wear apk), then did something like
adb connect 192.168.0.102 (or whichever ip your watch gets)
put the apk in the directory where my command window was
adb -s 192.168.0.102 install -r wearapp.apk
BUT, this is not necessary anymore. 2.8 just installs automatically now from play store on the watch.

You can just block message+ in the notifications screen, and install messages from play store

I just got mine for $43 on eBay and it went from 93% down to 2% on a single reboot. It then stayed on 2% from 6:30pm til 6:50am when it finally died. So I charged it from 0% to 59% then it jumped to 100%. Then it discharged to 77% and then dropped to 43%. sounds like a calibration issue.
On the plus side, unlike the moto 360 it appears the back is actually screwed on instead of glued on which is great news. I may unscrew it when I get home and see how easy the battery is to access.

Always on Display not working on MIUI 11 9.10.24

I have it enabled but it doesn't work. Didn't had the problem before in old versions.

Same problem on my mi 9t pro. Battery saver is OFF. Since the miui 11 upgrade, always on (ambient) display won't work.
Any suggestions?

I had the same issue, just fixed it.
I went to settings > ambient display > show items and there it was automatically set to turn on in 00:00 and off in 00:00, so technically it was never on. I just set show items to always.
