Hi everyone
I just flashed Android Revolution ICS Rom and I'm quite happy with that so far ! The only thing I cannot find is how to automatically disable the wifi antenna when the screen goes off...
Any help would be much appreciated
You can try in wifi setting and set wifi sleep policy to "screen off" out you can get Auto Airport Mode by Dan

Well I just took a look. Guess they changed it a round a little
In Settings under the WiFi, click on More and there's an "Airplane Mode" try that.
Or try Auto Airplane Mode (this is what I use and it work great)

Wow... wouldn't have found it by myself
Thanks a lot !
I'm noticing the native setting for disableing wifi when sleeping is working poorly. It takes a while to turn it off and then when it restarts the service does not seminar to be able to obtain the IP address and I have to manually turn wifi off and then on again for it to obtain an address. Very strange because the auto airplane app has no such issues.
I have just found out that:
(under GB) "Advanced > Wifi Sleep Policy > when screen turns off"
is NOT the same as
(under ICS) "Advanced > Keep Wi-fi on during sleep > never (increase data usage)"
It is supposedly to be the same thing but it is not.
As osho741 observed, it takes a very long time to turn off and most of the time it just does not.
I think this is one of ICS bug.

It does turn off fine here after around 10 minutes but it takes at least 30 seconds to activate and connect.

Is there any specific reason youd want to turn off the wifi during sleep? In my experience it doesnt drain enough battery to bother turning it off.
In my case with wifi on and a few apps running that uses wifi all the time, the tablet drains around 15-20% over 12h while sleeping.
That gives at least 2.5 days batterylife if you keep it sleeping... I cant imagine you would have to have it turned on (sleeping) longer than that. In that case you could just shut it down completely when youre not using it
you should give juice defender a try. it revolves around battery optimization, but it isn't a task killer, it just lets you make whatever setting you want concerning turning off services like wifi, bluetooth, etc.. its highly customizable, so you can set it to turn the wifi off entirely while its asleep, or to keep it off, while turning on in whatever time increment you set, long enough.
i have mine set so that the wifi turns off and stays off entirely when its in sleep mode, but if i have a online radio app like pandora or 8tracks running, then they override the sleep settings, and keep the wifi on when the screen is off.or, when i use certain apps that don't need internet to run, like kindle or certain games, the wifi automatically turns off and remains off until i close the apps.
i really like it and i think its made a huge difference in battery. Before if used it, my transformer would drain 15-20% percent overnight with the wifi left on. now, it drains maybe 2-4%.
Turning off wifi during sleep makes a huge difference.
It really saves a lot of battery for me.
And juice defender, while it might help, but on my phone, it causes a lot of wakelocks.
You can check this with bbs.
Hi,
does anybody know a way how i can prevent my Sensation from waking up when i plug in the charger?
I know that there is an option where the device stays awake while charging but i couldn't find anything to keep the display switched off while connecting and disconnecting the charger
My device:
HTC Sensation (german t-mobile branding)
ICS 4.0.3
No root
Thx
Schlubbi
Go to Settings->Developer options -> unmark Stay awake while charging

This option isn't marked. Thats why the display gets switched off after a while. But i want the display to stay switches off when i plug in the charger
Do you want that screen is always on while charging?
then just mark Stay awake while charging

No i want it to be switched off all the time while plugin, unplug and charginf
as for my knowledge - not possible to configure,
probably some custom kernel could have screen on when plugging charger disabled
Mime doesn't turn on sense 4.0 through

the question is - can you configure it from OS, or is it defined in custom kernel/ Faux123?
I want to set the screen timeout to never instead of 15 seconds, but when I go change the settings in the Display tap it always resets back to 15. Has anybody encountered this and found a solution? Thanks!
On my SGS2, I used an app called Screebl to keep the screen powered on when in a specific orientation, or at least when above a specified angle. Might that at least solve your problem partly?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
Yes, I already have Screebl installed, but even when I set the screen timeout inside the preferences to 10 minutes the general screen timeout shows 5 minutes. It's all very strange.
Maybe these two can help you out:

I'm not sure why the setting isn't working for you - I just set it to "Never" and it stuck just fine...
Are you on .26 firmware? Also, there is an option in Developer Settings that says to never turn the screen off while plugged in - that may help. But again, I would look into why the "normal" setting isn't working for you....
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2
Well I just outright uninstalled Screebl and now the settings stick, so it's a choice between orientation based screen on settings or doing it manually. I'll have to see what my usage patterns are like to decide. And yes I'm on .26, rooted but not unlocked yet.
I have my Tf700 rooted but locked. I have been trying to just put the tablet to sleep rather than shut off (long boot times). With the sreen off and using Auto Airplane Mode by Don, my tablet is draining by 15 percent overnight (9 hrs).:crying: I'm using Battery Stats Pro. It shows that 'Cell Standby' is using >90% battery. I'm at work right now and my tablet is at home charging so am unable to post a screenshot

Where can I find this auto airplane mode app? Will it work on stock unrooted also? I have noticed "Maps" automatically gets turned on and used by WiFi after the jb update. Anyone know how to fix this? WiFi just stays on and drains the battery.

There's Battery Widget Reborn that will do this also. But then I'm using JuiceDefender Plus on my 3 devices. Works pretty well on my TF700, there's a "night mode"... My tab hardly loose any juice over night. Maybe try one of those...

I have Juice defender Ultimate installed. The problem is that I want the tablet to deep sleep every time I put it in standby. I am still losing 90% of battery to 'cell standby" even with juice defender.
Anyone have an idea about the maps issue?

"90%" Does not mean it drains 90% of your battery.
It means 90% of the current battery drainage belongs to that process. So 90% of the 15% battery drain comes from Cell Standby, the remaining 10% are other processes (usually Screen.). So something else is draining your processes.
Cell Standby is the same as Idle Processes on Windows: Nothing.
It should use about 1-3% per night even without 3rd party airplane mode. So, based on not using that, which of these do you have enabled:
WiFi (Especially the "Keep during sleep" setting. Even with WiFi toggled off, this keeps running undetected. Same goes for USB Ethernet.))"
GPS
Power saving, Balanced or Performance mode?
Power Saving in settings
Auto brightness
Location services (settings --> location services), any of the settings in this menu.
Ever used a USB Ethernet adapter?
Using any overlay apps? (handwriting, graphic effects, alarm etc?)
Does the tablet's location get very cold overnight? Lithium-Ion batteries hate the cold, drains them 10 times as fast.

Idle is called "Tablet idle" on my TF700. "Cell Standby" sounds like the connection to a mobile network, which should not even run on a wifi-only device.

This was my first idea as well -- your 700 doesn't even have a cell connection, so this is a strange entry. Try using BetterBatteryStats or something alike, because the standard Android report of battery consumption is notoriously vague, and most of the times downright incorrect.
This harkens back to my SGS2 tweaking days in which loads of users were clamoring for tweaks to get the Android System consumption down from 99% -- "it is killing my battery" -- even when they had less than 2% overall consumption overnight. LOLOLOL!
These are high-powered devices, people -- if you'd want two weeks of standby time, you should have hunted down an old Nokia Communicator.
I still find a 15% drop in 9h of stand by time a bit high. Mine is a lot less than that...

Hm. Regarding the USB Ethernet adapter: Did you ever set the option "Keep during sleep"?
Reason I ask is because the moment I turned this on, it started draining my tablet+dock in a day, even without the adapter. Turned keep during sleep off and it went back to 1% a day. Never showed up in any battery monitor.
jcp2, do you have the TF700KL model version??
I will plug the usb ethernet adapter back in when I get home and see if the option "keep during sleep" is checked.(I only used the usb adapter twice.) I have the TF700T model.
Update.... I docked the tablet and plugged in the usb ethernet adapter. "keep ethernet awake during sleep" was checked. I unchecked it. I will let it sleep overnight and check the battery usage in the morning.

Fingers crossed, then.
Great news everyone! After following ShadowLea's advice about the unticking the USB Ethernet option for "Keep during sleep" (Which is only visible if you have the USB Ethernet adapter plugged in BTW) I am very happy to report that my tablet lost only 2-3% over a 9 hour period overnight. :victory: Thank you very much everyone, especially ShadowLea for the heads up! :highfive: :good:
Glad it's solved

Same problem here, except even more extreme. My battery dropped from ~90% Tab + ~30% Dock to 24% Tab and a dead dock overnight. The culprit for me also appears to be cell standby at 90% of usage.
I do not have the KL model and so there is no cell radio, and have never used a USB to Ethernet adapter (didn't know that I could, I might try it out now that I know).
Keep WiFi on set to never
GPS Off
Power Mode in Balanced
Power Saver enabled after 30%
Location & Google Search the only location service enabled
No overlay apps.
Kept inside at a reasonable temperature.
I'll try turning off the Location & Google Search, but anyone have other ideas?
EDIT: See screenshot http://db.tt/ph1d0FVT
I keep Airplane mode checked
GPS off
location settings all unchecked
under ASUS customized settings: check "mobile dock battery saving mode" and also check " disconnect network during sleep" , Uncheck "enable smart backlightlighter adjustment"
These settings cured my battery drain problem. Good Luck!
There is a known bug with Location Services that causes battery drain, as it keeps checking for a signal, even with WiFi and the app off. Turn it off
Hello all,
Is there option, under Lollipop 5, to keep the Nexus 5 screen on indefinitely. I see the max in Display settings is 30 minutes. When I am in my car, using the navigation, its a pain to have the screen go to sleep. There used to be a way, using Xposed in 4.4, to do this. Wondering if anyone has found a way to do it in 5.
Thanks,
Steve

In settings -> developer options
you can check Stay awake.

You can also install an app called "Screen Timeout Toggle"
