You probably have something set up on your device forcing the connection to search for an update or something. Check your weather settings to see if it is setup to grab updated weather information automatically every so often - Or it could be another program looking to update or gather information automatically. Other than this, I do not know. I have never experienced this. It might help if you gave us some more information - What device are you using (Touch is very vague) do you have Touch Vogue, Elf or Elfin, Pro, Diamond etc..., ROM, Recenty installed apps etc... Have you recenly flashed a new ROM

Wifi on demand?

Just changed to the new WM 6.5.3 stock rom~ but im finding a few problems with power consumption. Then I realised its cus my Wifi is always turned on! In previous roms I could set wifi so that it only connected when I update my weather or browse the internet, however with this new rom I find that Wifi will always try to connect if there is a connection nearby. So I thought I'll use TD2 Tools 3 to turn it off, but then the WLAN On Demand tab inactivated so I couldnt change it~
so is there anyone out there that knows a registry or have a cab so that I can turn this tab on? or even better just make my wifi on demand?
Welcome to the club I have exactly the same problem. With my previous ROM I used G-trigger application to toggle wifi, bt and some programsn but with this new ROM G-trigger doesn't want to work. I get an error message as soon ss I try to launch it. I've come up with some workaround but haven't tested it yet. There's a small wifi toggle program which I want to use and place a shortcut to it on home screen. A bit annoying but should work untill somebody comes up with a better solution.
Fixed problem with g-trigger: downloaded it from author's website, installed in main memory (device) instead of storage card and it works - can toggle wifi, bt and control other functions with just a simple shake

How did you get this? I've looked all over to find a way so instead of it connecting to 'data connection' it connects to wifi automatically, could use please send me .cab or something thanks.

Android : Apps not connecting via Wifi

Hi All,
I am a first time Android user (Galaxy S II),switched over from Symbian.
The apps on my phone which require data connection such as Gtalk, Gmail , Android Market, etc are not able to connect via Wifi.
But the stock phone browser works fine on wifi, no problems over there,I am able to surf the web. But when it comes to apps, they do not connect/sync over wifi.
If I disable wifi and use GPRS, apps connect to the internet, and sync in the background. But as soon as I enable wifi apps stop syncing / connectingot he internet.
GPRS plans are expensive and slow compared to my wifi. I want to use wifi to connect the apps also.
How do I do that, is there a setting which I need to enable.
I have to use a proxy server to connect to the wifi netwok, is that the reason the apps are not working. If yes, what is the solution, please help ??????
i have never had this happen but recently my wifi has stopped working all together it just keeps scanning constantly
I had the same problem as the OP. Fixed by setting my time and date manually.

This *could* very plausibly be the problem.
I know on iPhones, our university's network requires proxy settings. You put in proxy settings centrally, but only some software like safari will work. Most apps jus don't realize they need to go through the proxy.
I'd imagine it'd be more or less the same for android apps.
Have you tried to connect with static IP?
setup the correct time and date and time zone. I noticed that my mod got wrong the cities/GMT by +1h.

[Q] Scheduled auto sync with wifi only

EDIT: SOLVED
I accidentally found the option I was looking for while fiddeling around in BatteryXL. At the checkbox-option for autosync... if you click on the text left of the checkbox insted, you are able to select WIFI and/or DATA. Well hidden =). The initial results is promising, but will run it for some days to make sure it works properly. As for now I see this as solved.
I have an issue that I've stuggeled with for days now and it's starting to drive me crazy.
What I'm trying to do is to make my phone, in intervals, enable autosync + wifi, sync/update then turn back off again without mobile data ever beeing activated. I want mobile data to be activated manually only.
So far I've been able to do everything except preventing mobile data to activate. If wifi is available it overrides and turns off mdata, but im not fully satisfied with this. I use BatteryXL Pro for the scheduled autosyncs.
Here's my setup:
HTC Desire S
Rooted - cm7
BatteryXL Pro (Options: Smart Wifi + Smart data enabled, these basicly just manage how wifi and mdata is turned off again. Smart AutoSync: frequency 15 min, duration 1 min)
Background data and Autosync is disabled in the phones settings.
I've been messing around with the APN settings aswell.
I had this working on my stock OS before i rootet. Any suggestions on how to solve this?
Thanks, warjar

[Q] CM12: How to disable wifi/3G usage at same time

Hello,
I have a "problem" with wifi/3G usage at same time:
Generally Android uses wifi OR 3G, at least as I know and as it worked on ROMs <CM12. When I come home and login to my wifi, I see that some apps are using 3G while wifi is connected. If I then disable 3G and reactivate it, my phone stops using 3G. This happens only in my home wifi. I assume that there's a "problem" with my network config. I'm using a firewall with web proxy, everything is blocked so all devices are forced to connect to web via 8080. Proxy ist configured in the wifi settings. However there are plenty of apps that are not interested in using this proxy - it seems Android decides then to use 3G.
Could it be like that: CM12 connects to my wifi and discovers that all ports are blocked except 8080. All Apps trying to connect directly to the internet can't do that and CM12 directs them to 3G?
In Samsung Settings you are able to set an option to allow the usage of both networks, if wifi is poor. But in CM 12 I can't find such option. How can I disable that?
---
One more thing: I use very often system profiles but always have to go to settings to change the profile. Is there a way to configure the action bar buttons like in CM11?
TIA
Hello again, I'll give it another try. No one noticed that with CM12?

I can't answer your specific question, but as a short term workaround, maybe try installing SmartWiFi Toggler, it has an option to force a disconnect mobile data when you're connected to Wifi.
