Hi,
I just got this phone, and it seems when the phone screen is off and wifi is on idle, I do not get notifications. The wifi icon is orange, and I have to open an application like browser for the wifi to work again.
In the settings I already have it set to wifi being on when screen is off.
How to fix this problem?
Do you have battery saving mode on or any apps that disable wifi when the screen is off? etc

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.
Hi guys, i noticed an irritating problem with my One S after a few days of usage. My WiFi turns on at random, and remains on when my phone is in sleep mode. This occurs when I have 3G on. I have turned off using WiFi in sleep mode.
Anything else I can do? I feel like this takes a toll on my battery life.
I wouldn't worry too much about wifi if you just got the phone.
While its connected it shouldn't use up the battery. Afaik
It's the searching that uses battery.
yeah my wifi is on 24/7 i dont experience any drain through it..
you could put a toggle widget on one of your screens to turn it on / off.
it shouldnt be switching itself on it you manually turned it off
But it does exactly that! It turns itself on even after I have manually toggled it off. irritating as it searches for open networks even if I have data on. How do I resolve this hmmm
Maybe Tasker would help?
I just saw from my power usage screen that my WiFi is always on, despite me always having it switched off.
Repeated switching it on and off doesn't make a difference, neither does a reboot.
Anyone in the same boat and/or know a fix?
Backgroung scanning is probably enabled, check advanced WiFi settings.
EDIT: Still unsolved - see post nr3
"keep wifi on during sleep" is set to "only when plugged in" - it worked like a charm in lollipop (it switched off wifi after some seconds of disactivity), it doesn't now.
EDIT: In lollipop after some seconds of inactivity wifi was turned off, that was proper behavior I guess... It is not working in Marshmallow.
1. GSAM Battery monitor seems to have problems with showing WiFi activity on Marshmallow (shows "on" when switch is turned on, but it's inactive). I used build-in Marshmallow graph instead (settings > battery) and that showed me, that WiFi is indeed being turned off during sleep.
2. In my Lollipop WiFi became inactive just seconds after screen turned off. I expected the same behavior from Marshmallow, but it is different. It seems, that now wifi is turned off after 20 minutes of inactivity (checked few times).
Am I right about deactivation timer in Lollipop / Marshmallow? I guess It's much better now, since in Lollipop I sometimes had to keep screen active in order to install all upgrades, etc. But for me 5-10 minuted would be perfect instead of 20 minutes. Any way to change that?
After some weeks I have to say, that problem is unsolved. I can't repeat the situation when wifi was turned off when phone went to sleep.
I tried safe mode - the same effect, wifi is on when screen is off. Even after I am going back home with phone in my pocket it automatically connects to the router (with screen turned off, phone should sleep)
Does anyone have similar problem?
Bump - more info.
When I turn off Wifi my phone uses 1% or less battery during night. With Wifi turned on it uses 5-10%. If it worked like it should and turned off wifi when screen is off it would use the same amount of battery life as when wifi is off.
Could anyone at least confirm, that I am the only one that has that problem? Your marshmallow Nexus 5's are working as expected?
The wifi icon disappears after few minutes of screen being off after locking. I did set wifi to be on during sleep. Does anyone else have that issue ? I have a SIP client installed on my phone and need wifi all the time so that is a pain.
Mine does the same thing. I think it might be because I have the *intelligent power saving* checked in "power management" in settings. I think the phone disables data every so often to preserve the battery. Haven't tested my theory by un-checking, but I remember this happening on my Blu studio energy.
I have intelligent power disabled.
I think I am getting this on my phone. Sometimes on wakeup it forgets it is connected to Wifi and apps and chrome won't update. I usually just turn airplane mode on/off to fix it. Still, it is annoying. Doesn't seem to happen with LTE, at least.
