Is it normal that the watch constantly disconnects the wifi connecction? At least it looks like this.
I connect it, then leave the settings/back to homescreensand when I enter the wifi settings again it is reconnecting.
I noticed that aswell when I open my Router Config. The watch is only connected for a few seconds and then it's gone until I manually go back to wifi settings.
Energy saving mode is set to 120 minutes.
Same for me. I hope it gets fixed with the next update. It is pretty annoying.
I have this too. Most annoying thing is that it vibrates like there are 1000 messages incoming

I have wifi set to NEVER sleep. But no matter what I do, the phone keeps turning off wifi every time the screen is off for more than a minute. Why? I tried doing a hard reset, it didn't fix the issue. I saved the Advanced Settings after I changed the sleep policy.

1. check ur battery profile
2. check to see if any other app is doing this. i had 'super power' on mine doing this for me; got this app when I restored my data from captivate to this phone. I had to disable the option in super power, and since then its not doing this.
Huh. I'll try performance mode.
But that still doesn't explain why it would turn off the phone's wifi capabilities completely after a certain time.
And the info for the battery profile doesn't mention wifi.
Whoops. posted twice accidentally
i've had wifi sleep issues rom day one with a wpa2 enterprise network. It refuses to join after the first time, and eventually sets the network to disabled. I'm far from impressed. I wish a hotfix for all 2.2 installs would be released
Well, that was it. The battery profile was the problem. Thanks.
Now if only I could figure out why the phone absolutely refuses to download apps from the market faster than around 200 kb/s, on 3G, 4G or on wifi.
Even on 'performance mode' I am facing this issue. It just keeps disconnecting from wifi. Even if I turn it off and on from widget it doesn't connect. I need to go through settings and to wifi, and then it says "connecting..." and connects.
when i start to download any file which is big ,after the screen goes black after 1 minute the WiFi also stops working i have to start the machine again and the WiFi starts to work again
it means that i wont be getting any notifications while the screen is off as the WiFi is off .not nice
any way of getting around it
thanks
Download "Advanced Wifi Lock (Free)" from the store and set it so WiFi doesn't go off. It's somewhat of a battery killer but it's better than the alternative.
The wifi is a big flaw in the Tablet S that wasn't fixed in ICS.

Try this: before downloading the file, go into advanced Wi-Fi settings and set the Wi-Fi disconnect policy to "Never" or if you have your tablet connected to its charger, "Never when plugged in". After the file has been downloaded, set the disconnect policy back to what you normally have it set to.
This is the WLan Bug. Sony cant get it better with ICS and to change the Wlan Settings does not bring the result.
So take your Screentime to max about 5min. and tap every 2 or 3 minutes the screen. Revert this Settings after download is complete.

I've only ever had this problem once, and I could fix it by just going to Settings>WiFi Settings>Advanced>Disconnection Policy and said "Never". That would be my suggestion since (as mentioned) third-party WiFi lock's chew through battery like theres no tomorrow...
Good ideas. I also use an app that does not let the screen sleep when the power cord is plugged in.

I like keeping my wifi on while my screen is asleep so that I can receive chat messages or e-mails without being at my computer. I never had this problem while running ICS on an unrooted TF201, but ever since I installed the upgrade to JB my wifi will always disconnect after the screen has been asleep for a few minutes. I've checked every setting I can think of. In the Wifi Advanced menu, I have it set so Wifi is always on, and in the ASUS customized setting I have Disconnect network during sleep to off. Under Power Saver I have Enable low battery settings off, set Low battery level to 0%, and even set Wifi OFF to off. Despite all of this, it seems like the tablet under JB goes into some sort of deep sleep and disconnects the wifi after about 5 minutes of inactivity.
I have noticed that this problem does not occur when the screen is on. I also have the dock, and set the screen to always on during meetings in the event that I don't need to enter any notes for a few minutes so I don't have to fool with any delays from screen wake .
Is there some setting I'm missing? Is it a hidden setting that I could access by rooting? Or am I dealing with something internal to the build that I can't change at all? This may not seem like a huge deal to most, but it has become one of my main uses for the tablet when I'm at home. I'm very disappointed with JB so far even though the wifi does feel more responsive on the Prime after the update (when it's not sleeping, of course!).
EDIT: I noticed this evening that the wifi turns off even when I'm running something that uses it while the screen is off. I was listening to Pandora, and about 5 minutes after the screen went off, my music stopped. When I turned the screen back on, I saw that the wifi had indeed become disconnected.
hey,
I have exactly the same problem with my tablet. I have checked every option, I did a factory reset several time, I have checked it on 2 different routers but it is still disconnecting the wife when it goes in the sleep modus. Did you or anyone else find a solution?
I decided to save a good amount of my battery by limiting the usage of wifi network connection only to the time I use my phone
so I downloaded and installed 3rd party app which allows me to control when it switches on/off and here's what I did.
connect to wifi when the screen is on
disconnect to wifi when the screen is off
it is this simple. and I expected it to function just as It should be
everything worked just fine.. or not.
I had to wait for like 5 seconds before it started to finish the wifi connection after I screened it on, which is not a good thing.
the purpose of setting all this is because I want to keep my wifi off when I dont actually use it like when surfing the web or watch streaming videos but at the same time I wanna sometimes turn the screen on and right back off only to momentarily turn the wifi on to get my notifications like emails or whatsapp messages which I will miss otherwise
so how can this be done? I want to press power button twice like double clicking mouse to get brief wifi connection so it performs the synchronization each time I do the job. if that turns the wifi off too fast so doesnt provide enough time for the wifi connection. then I can simply set the time wifi disconnected to 10 secs after I turn it off
so the main problem is how to make it turned on when the screen is on. almost simultaneously so I dont need to keep the screen on for a couple of seconds.
I eagerly need this function because I want to put my phone in the pocket and time to time double tap on the power button which Is very convenient to not miss all the notifications.
it doesnt matter when I seriously use the phone as I said ealrier, waiting for a few seconds doesn't hurt in that case.
thank you
p.s) I tested this to several phones and only 1 which I have doesnt let it. any solution?
apps, settings, rooting, custom roms, tasker, anything will do, except for buy new phone
How the bug works:
So I can be connected to my wifi, surfing the web, on youtube or anything else. But all of a sudden my phone disconnects me from my wifi. Now, this in itself is quite frustrating as usually I'm in the middle of doing (please note though that it has also happened plentiful times whilst I haven't been using it too) something and it takes a few minutes to realise that it had happened. But unfortunately, this isn't the end of it. When I go to reconnect to my wifi I press it and nothing happens. Literally nothing. No animation, no sound and it never connects it just refuses to. So then the next logical solution is to turn off my wifi and turn it back on so it re-connects. And it works it connects to my wifi. But about 30 seconds later it will disconnect again. Sometimes though when it disconnects, it does state that an authentication error has occurred. But back to the bug. Then when pressing it nothing happens again. So I have to turn off my wifi and turn it back on usually 4-5 times before it finally stays connected.
This bug usually happens twice a day and is very frustrating, so again any help would be amazing!!
What I have tried:
- Turning off the device does not work. The bug is still present
- Using WPS to connect works sometimes but is very hit and miss
- setting my wifi to stay on whilst the device is sleeping
- wiping all network settings
- wiping all wifi settings back to default (in the router that is)
- Factory Resetting
Some other things to note:
This bug has not always been present. It has only started to occur within the past two months and I have had this device for 2 years now. I have not changed any wifi or device settings for it to happen. And it just started one day.
My dad's S6's wifi is completely dead.. I click the toggle switch and no networks show up.
Also tried clearing cache, resetting network settings, and even factory reset.
I think the WIFI antenna is dead/dying?
Just happened out of the blue as well..
Perhaps a root and new rom will fix?
