WM6. Whenever I turn the screen off, Wifi automatically turns off until the screen is turned back on.
Can I change this setting? and yes, I know it will drain the battery, but I have 2 spares that are constantly on charge.
Thanks

I just started experiencing that my phone wont go into sleep mode after pressing the power button. I can hold it down and pop up menu to turn off shows, and bring it out of sleep after the 15 sec delay i have set up but thats it any ideas?
The only issue I have is when the phone goes to sleep wifi turns off and the captivate starts charging data to my plan. Does this happen to anyone else and if so is there a known cure?
I had my phone not go to sleep at set timeout one time. It may have been due to an app i installed. I rebooted and no problem since.
As for using data when asleep - Wifi turns off when the phone goes to sleep mode - this is the way it behaves, same as iPhone and other android phones. You have some app connecting in the background, maybe email sync?
You can keep the wifi on during sleep by going into the Settings-> Wireless and Network -> Wi-Fi Settings. Press the menu button in Wi-Fi settings press on "Advanced".
In there is an option called Wi-Fi sleep policy. Switch that to Never and you shouldn't have to worry about the wifi turning off when in sleep mode.

Yea It was an app I installed, I did a reinstall from a back up and it works now.
Captivate Shutting Down Instead of Sleeping
Mine is doing this too, as are a few others, from the look of some posts on here. Mine started after a day and a half and two full charges. Suddenly I would go to wake it up and it will have turned off.
I'm thinking I might take it back to the store to exchange it, as not everyone is experiencing this problem. Sucky. I did notice that the battery, after you take the door off, is a little wiggly on the side opposite the connectors. I wedged some thin paper in the between the battery and the battery slot and it still did it. Got to be a problem with the individual phone.
Total PITA!!
I had problems with mine shutting off while in sleep mode and I uninstalled SetCpu and my task killer and it stopped doing it....
Is there anyway to have the wifi stay on when the screen goes to sleep? It seems sometimes it doesn't always connect or takes a while to connect when you turn the device back on after it has gone to sleep.
I'm using my tablet as a car navigation device. I may leave my car parked for up to a week sometimes.
Ideally, I'd like to turn the device off when I stop my car (cable unplugged or screen off) and then turn the device on when I start my car (cable plug in, screen on). Since it takes a while to boot up (and I don't know how to autoboot when the cable is plugged in on a LG g pad 8.0), I don't want to actually turn off the tablet.
Therefore, I have installed "Automate" to enable airplane mode when screen is off and turn off airplane mode when screen is on. I also have Greenify and enabled Aggressive Doze. However, even doing this, I notice that while the screen is off, the phone will still come out of doze periodically. Also eventhough airplane mode is on, Gsam Battery stats show the phone radio is on the entire time (but not data).
Is there a way to force it to doze and not wake up until I tell it to?
Also, for some reason, as it keeps going into airplane mode and back out, I will get a message saying the sim card has been removed and it will force me to reboot. If I don't go into airplane mode at all, I dont get the message. It's only from switching it on and off.
I just noticed yesterday that my screen started cutting out for long periods of time.
This morning I verified the phone is on when the audio, haptic feedback, and screen are only working 1-2% of the time.
This only happens when I have WiFi turned on. I was able to get the device to work when I left any wifi area.
Then I als o shut off screen timeout and lock screen so that when the device is on wifi, it is easier to get in and shut off the wifi again.
Anyone know what this could be?
