On my captivate i had an app that would disable the screen without sleeping the phone, good for keeping wifi, gps, etc running... wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to accomplish this
Thanks

Wifi does still run while the phone is asleep if you have the setting on always to keep wifi on during sleep. It's in the advanced settings for wifi

I need something that will cycle the wifi on my phone on and off at either set times or on a timer. I didn't notice anything in the market for this. Does this exist anywhere?

tasker can do this i think
Ah cool I think this will work nicely. Thanks, didn't think about an automation app.

How would I go about setting a check that would make sure the wifi radio is turned on every fifteen minutes. I need to keep it on even if someone turns it off. I think I have a profile set up to do this, but it only turns it on once. When I turn it off manually tasker never turns it back on. This task stuff is warping my mind haha.

It would be super handy to be able to toggle on and off without going into the app. Anybody up to it?
Keep it enabled and toggle on and off wifi with beautiful widgets or power control and boom same thing!

While that is an option, it's not quite the same thing. There are times when I simply want to toggle off wifi calling quickly and keep wifi connected. Am I alone?

thats a very dumb solution considering how much wifi calling running drains the battery.
A widget would be nice

I wrote some Tasker scripts that provide an "Enable" and a "Disable" button for wifi calling. They require Tasker and the Locale Execute Plugin.
It essentially freezes/unfreezes Wifi Calling so it doesn't drain battery when not in use. It also toggles wifi on when the app is enabled, and when disabled (if necessary)... it gives a few seconds after WIFI changes to allow for the app and phone radio to not cause force closes.
An enterprising individual could *probably* combine the two scripts into a single widget.

I was being sarcastic however Doesn't drain mine... Phone radio uses more battery for me but good luck finding.

On the Vibrant, at least, the Wifi Calling App is frequently the #1 user of CPU time even when Wifi calling itself is disabled. I don't know if it has the same problem on the G2x, but if you check with SystemPanel's logging, you might find that it does. This is why some of us go to extreme measures to freeze/disable the app when not in use.
Is there an app or setting that is in the hidden menu so that while the screen is off data is off... I know they have the setting for wifi but I'm hardly around wifi except at home, and I'm hardly ever home... which is why I would like to save as much battery as possible.

JuiceDefender does not work well with any stock based rom like Weapon. For stock based rom you have to use the new beta version.

Will try later, I have juice defender before but it was just a nuisance and didn't see any real change. Maybe I'll look into it some more, thanks.

Tasker can do it easily. There's really no reason to ever use Juice Defender, Tasker can do everything it can do and so much more.

Tasker is a great app but some people don't use paid apps and juice defender can do what the OP needed in the free app.. But if you don't mind the $6 and some change its a great app

All of a sudden Wifi turns itself on. Ironically it just turned on. Happens like 2-3 times a day. Even at night. WTF?

Verizon has the same thing. It's in a different place. Go to settings, Wi-Fi, and click advanced. You will see auto connect as the first option.

No, my fault. I forgot I'm in the Verizon forum, you shouldn't have to specify lol.
I come here because there's more action on these forums.

Try *#6335623# on your phone pad to turn the WiFi notification to off.
See if that works?

I also did that a while ago. And I just double checked to make sure that location settings was not enabled.

Bump. I wish someone could figure this out cause I woke up this morning with my wifi turned on and I surely didn't turn it on last night

Bump again. Unfortunately I got the OTA this week. And even that didn't fix the WiFi turning itself on issue. I still can't find a pattern.

What you guys are doing is turning off WIFI Popup Notification. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776683
You need to also turn off Wifi Reminder if you have not done so already.
•You will need root
•You will need a SQLite editor
(Here's a link to a free one if you need it) http://code.google.com/p/xdroidx/dow...20Editor-9.apk
1.Open Settings Storage > db > secure
2.Search for “wifi_networks_available_notification_on” (Sometimes will be a different line numbers see attached)
3.Edit that record to read a value of 0 < (that's a ZERO)
4.Reboot your phone
This worked for me.. I did this to my phone on day one.:good:
Hope this helps

During the night my HTC one s s3 goes into some kind of sleep mode, which turns off my internet or WiFi connection, preventing me to receive messages via Skype, gTalk... or emails. Is there any way to avoid going in this mode, some kind of "always on", I don't know... I couldn't find a setting for this, searched everywhere... Thanks in advance

If you go into advanced settings under Wi-Fi, you can tell Wi-Fi to never sleep. That should solve your issue?
Also, are you on stock?

Not the same thing. If I remember right this turns all data off and also does other things as well and the only fix I can think of is the tweak app that some roms have.
Stock 4.0.4 Europe. WiFi is set to never sleep (keep WiFi on during sleep >> ALWAYS) and it sleeps all right during the night. Any setting for 3G? I have an unlimited data plan, so it would be ok to keep it always on.
Edit: best WiFi performance is set off. Would this make any difference?

Don't think it will since its a power saver feature that you having issues with but like I said it can be turned off with custom rom.
