I've tried to turn it off via Fauxclock, and it keeps turning itself back on. There is no option in Trickster to do it.
Is there a way to turn it off another way, or do we need a custom kernel for this?
thanks.

So the appropriate settings are selected. WiFi sleep policy is set to 'never', I've even tried selecting 'never when plugged in'. I put the phone to sleep and the transfer speeds drop significantly and hover around that low speed. As soon as I wake the phone, the transfer speeds skyrocket then hold steady.
It's a little frustrating. Anyone have anything on this?
Try out the newest matr1x kernel, 9.5 contains a wifi tweak that addresses the issue you're describing.
I dont use OC tools so I need the kernels to boot at 1.2+. Is there info on this wifi tweak that was added to matrix?

Stock w/just the root and clockwork. I've been running the kernel in my sig for months.
I prefer the stock with a slight oc. I used matrix 3.5 for a while but I'm not partial to notification lights(rare, I know), other add-ons, etc.
I reverted back to stock everything; rooted again, etc. I wanted to test my issue with the stock 2.3.7 kernel as well...and it persists. A workaround is that I run a slideshow through the clock.
Update: I installed the newest matrix kernel, 9.5. I still experience the same issues with the wifi crawling when the screens off.

Always set to 'never'. I've tried that and 'never when plugged in'.
I have tried a few auto turn off apps on my transformer while screen is off but WIFI still stays on. These Apps work well on My Samsung galaxy.
Another thing I noticed is that everytime I set the WIFI disconnect policy to turn off wifi when screen is off. The setting goes back to "never". Not sure how it gets reset, and maybe thats why these apps do not work.
Any ideas?
revolver parts wit revolver rom, the revolver parts app let you turn of wifi automatic
I am on stock rom for now, until I read thru all of the forum and get comfortable with switching rom. I am rooted atleast and have CWM installed.
So is there any other app?
Auto airplane mode from the market. It turned off for me.
Try with Tasker
will try auto airplane mode but I need something that turns off wifi when screen goes off.
Also, afraid to buy tasker before I know it works.

Auto Airplane Mode will turn WiFi off when screen shut off.
I use it, work great. The one I use for some reason is not in the market any more
but there are others.
TRIED auto airplane and did not work.
I think the issue is that something always changes the setting to never turn wifi off . Instead of what I keep on setting it to disable wifi when screen is off.
Is there a app that is changing the wifi policy settings>?
green power app fixed my problem. found this out in another thread.
I'm using tasker with a profile to turn airplane mode on 5 minutes after display goes down. It doesn't sleep if there are certain apps which require internet connection (tunein radio for example) and turns off airplane mode for 1 minute every 30 minutes.
I'd never used tasker before, i own an Android phone too, but i found it simply amazing!
Seems like you have an app that wants to keep wifi on. If I were you, I'd try to get to the bottom of this and figure out which app is causing this issue to occur. In fact, the culprit sounds fishy.
I am planning a install of a tablet with cm9 into my vehicle and was wondering if there is a way to make the device auto turn on when i start my car and auto shutdown when i turn vehicle off?
This will be a Kindle Fire as it is the exact measurements i need and will have a custom rom on it.
Any help with this is much appreciated.
Look into the application Tasker. I'm not sure about automatically turning back on, but it will certainly turn it off for you.
However, just scaling down the CPU, turning off all radios, and the screen when not powered may suit your needs, and can be more easily done with Tasker.
(Edited because I misread a bit)

the kindle fire is android based and it auto turns on with power..
Also this app enables this feature on specific device https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...NyyCfaUMp8XfX5OYg&sig2=LshdXHh-_Rn_iS-jrJB0nQ
guess my solution is done, even after installing custom rom on kindle fire it auto turns on with power source.
Anyone know how to get a device to auto power off with loss of power?
If your going to say Tasker, please explain how you got it to work
I consider our Tablet to be different than a phone, in the sense that when we turn off the screen, we dont need all the background functions still running. Currently I see TF101 deep sleep battery drain caused by many different functions running in the backend...for example the location services api.
I was thinking of creating a Tasker script that turns off as many different things as possible a few minutes after the screen is turned off.....And turns them back on when the device is unlocked.
I didn't want to spend time reinventing the wheel if this has already been done....
Anyone already try this? Results?
thanks.
I decided I was over-thinking it...and went with tasker scripts to
a) Auto Turn on Airplane mode when the screen goes off
b) Auto Turn off Airplane mode when the device is unlocked.
(This involved using the "Secure Settings" plugin app to allow Airplane mode via tasker on 4.2 JB)
So far the results have been good. i don't see those map api's being called during deep sleep.
i'm using stock based rom, 4.1.1, my wifi is turned on but for some reason i don't get notifications unless i turn on the phone. why's that happening? is that a powersaver feature? it is turned on though... any suggestions here?
Yes this is a powersaver feature. As told by the advanced settings of this mode: it shuts down data connections while screen is turned off, I can't see how you could get notifications...
