Autoturn off wifi if unused for n minutes?

As per subject;
How do i automatically turn off my wifi connection if it's not used for n minutes?
I manually turn it on when i wish to use the net but allways forget to turn it off, thus battery life is affected.
Any ideas?
cheers

Turn off wifi automatically after a certain period of time?

Hi everyone,
I have been searching all day! No results.
What i am looking for is for my wifi connection to switch off automatically after xxx time if idle. sometimes i update stuff and forget my wifi on which drains my battery. i know that normally it switches off when device goes to sleep, but i set it to stay on in standby. useful when on msn.
Can somebody please point me to a solution for this.
Thanks

Yeah buy G-Profile its just 5 euro. And u can put on wifi or of by cell towers time, day, calender evement, or if an program starts running or if your computer is connected on activesynce, external power source, under a call.
You can do the same for the volume, blutooth, etc..
Great program

Connective Tools CT Scheduler
See here http://www.connectivetools.com/ctscheduler.html
Switch Wi-Fi Mode. This new action allows switching Wi-Fi mode on and off. As well as Bluetooth and FlightMode, this action could be used at night, for example, for extending the battery life.

Try this - it may help.
Go to the settings tab, menu, all settings, connections, wi-fi and click "wireless networks". Go to menu, advanced and then you can set "Turn off wi-fi if not connected in:". It's set to never by default, but if you set it to a time then wifi will automatically turn off if it's not connected, after that period of time.
Hope this helps

It only applies when there are no available hotspots.

Yeah - I just reread the OP and see that he's talking about idle time. I use this so I can switch wifi on when I get home and forget about it. It turns off when I leave the house, which is ideal for me.

Use wireless time : http://www.pdainfo.org/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=52f3bfde5b6bad62fb558bed9f80c503&topic=222.0

i appreciate all the suggestions. these are not what i am looking for.
let me try to explain this again. i switched on WiFi, useful it for mail, browsing etc.
left my phone aside and forgot to turn WiFi off. since the connection is not used for xxx of time , then WiFi should switch off automatically.
do you think this is possible?

same here, i want the same options, my older touch phones had it, but not this one, and i dont fell like installing another program just to schedule the wifi, when thats the only option i need.so now what i do is, Just try to remember to turn my wifi off, at night, and when not using. so your only safe option, other than installing external software is remember it. and it helps improve memory, so you'll remeber to take your pills when you get old

Wifi Won't Go Off !

Hi Folks,
I can't get my Wifi to switch off when the phone goes to sleep. I've gone into advanced and changed the 'keep wifi on during sleep' to never. I also have turned off 'Scanning always available' so apps can't scan but it STILL won't go off when the phone is asleep!! I rarely use my data allowance with my contract so my 3G is always off and I would like my wifi off when I'm not using the phone aswell but just can't get it to go off
Any help appreciated, thanks in advance

Change it to
Keep WiFi of during sleep=always
And
Tick off =scanning always available.
Your Wi-Fi should switch off during screen lock. Don't expect it to turn off immediately though.

As I said in my post it says 'Keep wifi ON during sleep' not OFF ......and I have it set to never which is correct.

Hmmm u r right it says on. What i observed is it takes a bit of time to go off to make sure user is not going to use it soon.

My wifi disconnects and phone uses my data when should not

My m8 at some times usually during the night will disconnect my wifi and use my mobile data, which it should not do because in the power settings I have the sleep mode set to off and I have all power saver crap removed with viperone 1.8 I"am just on a limited data plan that I need all of my data for and wasting my mobile data sucks especially when I have wifi to use and pay for home internet that it should be using. Does anyone know why it could be doing this and a fix ? My computer never disconnects from the wifi and I use it many of the same times that the phone disconnects from my wifi, so that leads me to believe its somewhere in the phone and not my wifi. Also I have had a couple other m8's do the exact same thing. I would like to find a fix other than turning my mobile data off. And I do use a lot of data as I have a large number of email addresses added to my phone and have my k9 set to check for new emails every 10 minutes because I rely on it for personal and business use. Anyone have any idea ?

Here is my settings showing sleep mode off and power saving mode off also.

In "wifi advanced settings" do you have the "auto switch to mobile data when wifi is weak" checked off?

No its unchecked but under wifi optimization I have minimize battery usage when wifi is on ? Not sure if that could have an effect but shouldnt because mobile data would use more battery than wifi and that would have the opposite effect to turn wifi off for mobile data which would use more battery power.

I always set it up to remove the power save mode garbage in the venom aroma installer so 100% that is not the issue.

Try Wi-Fi > Advanced > Uncheck "Wi-Fi optimization"
Had the same problem and this fixed it. Haven't noticed any difference in battery life checked vs. unchecked.

That was the only thing I had not tried so early last night I tried unchecking it and so far so good I think you may be right on that, thanks.

Mine is still doing it, so I changed the wifi frequency band from automatic to 5 ghz and rebooted and it connected but some apps could not access data so I changed it to 2.4 ghz only and rebooted it worked ok but its doing it again this time I had to toggle airplane mode to get the wifi back on. I have to toggle airplane mode quite often actually and usually it shows change of sim detected. And some times my mobile data will disconnect and its a ***** to get working again. Maybe I will try going to a verizon corporate store and getting a new nano sim card for it. A verizon dealer could not get a new nano sim to activate before and they ended up getting my old nano sim reactivated which I thought once a sim has been deactivated that they cant reactivate it but apparently they can. I really dont know what else to try other than a new sim card. Anyone ?

Any chance you could temporarily try a different wireless router? Some of these new phones are finicky with some wireless routers... Could be a miscommunication between the phone and router somehow.
Don't really have an explanation, one of my old HTC devices had issues connecting to a specific wireless router, where apple products did not have the problem, and vice versa with a different router.

Having been the case with at least 3 m8's I honestly do not think its the router because It happened with my old moden and router and also with my motorola surfboard SBG6580 modem / wireless router combination that I switched to a couple months ago. And it will also do the same on my girlfriends modem and wireless router. I think there is something in the m8 that is the problem and one other of the m8's was an at&t version. I"am not 100% sure but it may have all been while using viperone, as there really is not much choices for daily driver custom roms especially since elegancia closed its doors. Dont get me wrong tranquil one m8 is not bad and cleanrom is ok but they are no way as easy to customize as viperone is. Years ago I use to like cleanrom for its DE which was barebones the way I like it, good clean and fast. I just dont trust any of the other roms to be bug free enough to be a daily driver. I have just had too many issues in the past with cm dont get me started on them lol, omg was nothing but fix after fix that you had to do nothing like being a Guinea pig lol.

Wi-Fi not connect after phone is woken from sleep mode
Both my wife and I was having the issue with Wi-Fi. I tried everything ,turning off optimization, setting for 2.4ghz,and every other thing listed. Nothing helped until I flashed the firmware from the digitalhigh thread, took 30 sec and fixed Wi-Fi for good on my wife's m8 and mine. I lost nothing in the process except that very annoying Wi-Fi issue. I was then able to set any options like, Wi-Fi optimization and Auto band detect, everything working great!
Here is link to that firmware...

Just downloaded and save to SD card root and rename to "0P6BIMG.zip" and boot to hoot to install.

sleep option has been removed so you can try to disable optimise settings under device care/advanced and see if that hopefully makes a difference and/or go adb route
