I need help! Whenever I want to stream music over wifi my NS works fine until the screen shuts off. I have tried everything that I could possibly think of. I have downloaded apps and even went into settings <wifi<advance<sleep policies. I could really use the help guys because this is ****ING frustrating.
Thanks in advance

Just to make sure, in the settings for wifi advanced you've confirmed that you set it to never, right?
What app are you trying to stream with?
Yes I did all of those things. I am trying to stream sirius/xm app. This just freaking sucks

I was having this issue with stock as well. It worked randomly and sometimes a reboot might fix it. Hope you can find a proper way to fix this.
Yeah this is a real dissapointment. Their needs to be some kind of fix in the next update. Someone please cone up with a temporary solution.

Okay, I suspect this is unique to the sirius app. I have it, so I'll try to play with it and see what results I get.
Does it do the same thing on cellular data?
Have you tried running a logcat of the phone to see if there's log messages that might be a clue as to what's going on?
It's not free, but you can also use the WunderRadio app to listen/stream Sirius programming. I never had problems with that one.
PS. Maybe you should edit the thread title to show this problem is with a specific app or type of app, not wifi sleep in general.

Its not Just the Sirius app its anything I use. The wifi shuts off about 2 minutes after the screen is off. I am currently searching the web for any solutions I can find.
I have also noticed that my wifi signal is not green and sometimes white.

Please run a logcat that shows the log activities at the time the wifi and streaming stop.

I can stream without issues using slacker and audiogalaxy over wifi. Are you running a custom rom or kernel?
I got it working guys. I don't know what I did but it works. Thanks for the help.

Hi Guys,
I am now using MIUIV2 final and it works really well, however, since this rom I have app/OS that are downloading a lot of data. (around 98mg a day)
Since I only have a 200meg plans, I do not want anything to download in the background and I didn't had this problem on kalh GalaxyXTV4.
Is anyone knows an app that can tell me what is downloading that much or is there an issue with this ROM?
Thanks

Have you tried 3g watchdog?
you can use a sort of firewall, droid wall for exemple, you choose wich app can access 3g and wifi.
Thanks for your suggestions.
I have tried 3g Watchdog but it only log the total 3g connection and in the last two days it seems like my phone is back to normal. No more big download while on sleep.
Not sure what happened, is it possible that the google "Backup" utility built in the phone, might have downloaded something ? I have disabled it and it is now seem more "normal" under 3G.
I will also try droid wall to have a better control over the apps on the phone
Thanks again.
This may be a silly concept, but on some of these older phones, would it be possible to create a branch of CYGN development that simply removes the phone component of the rom? My idea is that all the functions would remain, but simply be disabled/hidden from the user. This could add some life to older phones whose cellular radios have malfunctioned, or people like me who simply like the CYGN interface, and would want to have a mp3/video player like this.
Additionally, the standard development would remain, so that if the phone needed to be re-purposed again, all you would need to do would be to flash the "+phone" rom.
Anyone care to tell me if/how bad an idea this is?
Thanks
Why can't those people who don't have a working phone part just ignore it and use it as a media device rather than flashing a whole new ROM just to get rid of it.
right, but supposedly there is a phone server that would suck some battery,
but it could be accomplished by putting the device in airplane mode.

Hell, is that all it takes? I thought "Airplane Mode" disabled all radios...
How destructive do you believe it would be to disable/uninstall the "phone" or "dialer" apps? Or is that not recommended under any circumstances?
Thanks again for your reply
Seems like a lot of work to compile a ROM and go through all the trouble, just don't use the dialer, and if you do, so what, no sim, no call, no money.

You can use apps like titanium backup to freeze the app and test yourself. I think it should work but there is a chance for a force close loop that can only be fixed by reinstalling the ROM.
Want to add I would leave the dialer just take it off the home screen because it is a law that even without service cell phones have to be able to dial emergency numbers. Without it if something happened and you needed to dial 911 it would be there.

I have 2 phones and 2 tablets all of them set to not auto update. Yet once again this AM I'm on the train and my damn phone updates about 10 different apps. I'm in the middle of playing a game which slows to a crawl while Google takes over my device. Finally get home and start my tablet and guess what the sob starts updating. I'm beyond frustrated with this so if anyone has a 100% guaranteed way of stopping this behavior it would be greatly appreciated

each app has an auto update option in its settings, you may want to check there and see if its still set to auto update, even with the main settings turned off.
if thats the case, you would have to manually turn them all off.

Thanks for the tip but I still cannot for the life of me stop auto update. My second phone hasn't been used for about 5 days so I turned it on today. I have both data and wifi off on it. I go in and double check everything is set to not update. Turn wifi on and within 1 minute its updating 9 apps
If it was only happening on one device I would suspect that its an isolated case but all 4 can't have the same issue. I tried freezing the play store function and my tablet started doing some very strange things. I'm relatively new to android (8 months) and the only problems I've ever had were all related to the damn play store. In case you haven't figured it out I REALLY hate the play store with a passion.
Anyone know how to contact google direct via phone?

I was going to suggest freezing the play app, but didn't because I thought it would cause issues.
Alternatively, you could see if the amazon store has all your apps. If so, delete the play store and see if amazon can be controlled to do what you want.

I have this weird problem with Pandora over LTE. It won't load songs and play unless I toggle airplane mode on and off. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. I never use to have this problem and I can't figure out why its doing this. No other music streaming apps have problems (play music and SoundCloud). I have to toggle airplane mode after every song. Its really annoying. My N5 is completely Stock and I am on Straight Talk

I am on Android 5.0.1. I have even factory reset my phone and I still have the same issue. I can't figure it out at all. Pandora works fine over WiFi, but not LTE or 3G. All other music streaming apps I have work just fine. If I start Pandora and let it try to play a song. It will start then have really buffer issues. while it is buffering if I put airplane mode on then off the song will play just fine over LTE, but once a new song starts I have to do the same thing with airplane mode. I would ditch Pandora all together and just use Play Music or SoundCloud, but both of those apps use so much data. ( I listen to about an hour of music a day) I have Play Music setting set to the low quality, but from what I have read online it will stream the best quality your connection will allow. I have great connection everywhere I go in my home town.

Pandora claims they have no issue with 5.0 or 5.0.1, but I can not use the app. I really only started to have this problem when I updated to 5.0.1. May flash back to 5.0 to see if that fixes the problem.
Here's an interesting side note. If I turn on the hotspot feature on my N5 and connect my N7 to it and play Pandora on my N7 everything works fine. I'm going crazy trying to figure this out.

jdawg0024 are you on Straight Talk for service? I am running KitKat (4.4.4) on my Nexus 5 through Straight Talk and I am having the exact same issue. I have tried everything as well and cannot figure this out. Songs take a long time to load or will not load at all. Once they do they will skip like as if being buffered. Works fine over wifi connection and all other streaming services work fine as well.
Up until today I did not know about toggling airplane mode but that will make the songs play. I would love to get this figured out..........
Pandora streams fine for me on T-Mobile lte with xtrasmooth 5.0.2 ROM. Also had worked on kk4.4.4.

Although I have a feeling that it is Straight Talk's issue. I know 3 People who have the N5 and they are all on 5.0.1 and each on a different Network (Verizon, Sprint, and ATT) all of their Pandora Apps are working correctly.

I have also spoken with Straight Talk and specifically asked if my service was being throttled and they said that it was not. I am tempted to try a reset and upgrade to Lollipop but would much rather have it working as is.

I can tell you that a factory reset will not help. I thought it was 5.0.1 that was causing the issue so I flashed the 5.0 factory Image and that did not fix the problem. Then I flashed the 5.0.1 factory image and that did also not fix the problem.
Clearing the Pandora cache worked for me.
I'm having a weird issue that I haven't been able to find in any searches: when using Assistant to text (or call) it takes a very long time to process, almost a full minute before it reads the message back and asks if I want to send it. Using Android Auto, it just times out and goes back to playing music. It works just fine if I swipe up from the corners, but Assistant in Maps and Android Auto barely works.
This happens to me when I have bad connection, or when I drive close enough to my gym where it tries to auto connect to the wifi.

Unfortunately connection didn't seem to make a difference. Also, other functions work fine. I can ask questions and get immediate answers, broadcasting to home works fine (which you'd think would be a more intensive task). I've cleared cache/data for the Google app without any change. It's crazy weird and I haven't heard anything else like it.

I'm bone stock. I'm on the beta for the Google app. I'll opt out of that and see if it makes a different. I also wonder if it's a server-side issue that's affecting so few people they don't really know it's happening. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
