[Q] Nexus S switches off - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I have a fairly old Nexus S (Android 4.1.2). For some reason or other it switches itself off if not used for a few hours. I then have to go through a re-boot and PIN No. routine to use it again. While it is off I frequently miss calls.
I can't find anything in "Settings" which will enable me to adjust the period which it remains active.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Any help greatly appreciated
Regards

Hi There,
Well i am sorry to say that either you didnt explain your problem correctly or i didnt get it properly well all i can say that there is some kind of a Bug in your device which switches it off by it self.
You can try This:
*Factory Reset your device.
OR
*Reinstall the Rom.

Wi-Fi turning off when screen is off CM9

This problem has been happening with any ROM I have, it has only started to happen recently, my Wi-Fi used to work flawlessley untill I changed ROM's, updated it's firmware etc etc. Would anyone know of a possible fix to fix this issue? Because it's really bugging me! I have Wi-Fi set to never sleep, and always be on... What am I doing wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Regards,
Dave.
Hi Dave,
Don't expect much from my solution since I am still a noob but this once happened to my device and I installed WiFi Lock from Google Play and enable it. It fixed the issue for me. Hope it will also fix yours.

Thanks for your reply! I've tried what you suggested and sadly didn't work, I did find an app that forces high performance on my phone and that seems to fix the problem though I don't want my phone running Wi-Fi at max power... What happens with the app you suggested, it keeps the Wi-Fi signal, but transferring stops... Weird huh... With the High Performance Widget this doesn't happen. With sense based ROMs the Wi-Fi is working perfectly though.
Dave.
Just a little bump

Hi,
Check your WiFi policy in Settings, there's an option for this.

it could just be an issue with your network. anyways, uncheck automatic day and time in the date/time sertings in main settings. then itll run at whatever time you set it.

[Completed] [Q] Wifi goes off after unlocking device

Hi,
Since a few days, I'm having a strange wifi issue on my Xperia SP (Android 4.3 from Sony).
When I switch on my mobile phone screen, the wifi start, I can see the icon. When I unlock my phone, a few seconds after, the wifi goes off.
I have to manually switch off and on wifi if I want to use it.
I have posted a video explaining what I see, but I'm new to xda, so I can't post the link.
youtu.be/B6mnKKjOnoE
I have done a soft reset, remove many unused apps, and delete some app stored data.
How can I find which application is accessing wifi in order to solve this issue?
Maybe someone had any idea to help me.
Thanks guys.
Edit: Things went back to normal, I haven't done anything more to solve this issue. Probably some magics... Please close this question. Thanks

Ohh dear, not the answer I wanted to hear. Glad to see I'm not the only one with the issue. So you did a factory reset to resolve it?
Same here. After so many bugs I am about to sell that damn thing. It really is a shame! Common, but those are core basic things that should never NEVER ever have issues like this!
I have the same issue since a day... I tested many workaround ut nothing works and I will not do a factory reset for that!
Hope we will find a solution.
I read a lot of posts speaking about a USB connector issue.
The connector needs to be cleaned or changed.
Any one have more info ?
For those who are interested, I really think it is a software bug because when I connect my phone into my car in bluetooth, the speakerphone shut off.
So it's so annoying to manually cut the speakerphone that I decided to reset my phone today.
I'm currently doing a backup with Helium (because I'm not yet rooted) and then I will do a factory reset.
I will keep you informed.
Problem still persists. Please keep us informed.
Finally...
After resetting my phone the problem is solved !!!
I reinstalled all my applications and it is still ok.
Now the question is for how long...
You know what you have to do.
Enjoy !
I for sure won't do that! I'll better be selling this bug loaded piece. Memory leakage issue is driving me nuts. Can't handle 3 apps without having to reload them every time. Veeeery disappointed. And I mean common.. the basic calling feature is not able to work properly.. WTF
Seems like not many are facing this issue? It came out of nowhere on mine and I really dont want to reset my phone for this. I'd like to keep this thread active.
Just reset your phone and that's it!
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA Free mobile app
Same problem here and same case. When on Bluetooth in my car, the speaker will not auto enable, but whe I turn off BT, the problem persists. I tried the Svoice, The Partition Cache cleaning, the reset, etc. Up to now, no positive results.
I admitted defeat and reset my phone, problem gone
I've solved my speaker phone problem
Hi,
I use note 4 and had similar problem. After long testing, I've found out mine was related to Gear VR. If I turn on "do not disturb" inside the Gear VR setup Menu and unplug the phone. My phone will always go into speakerphone. Very annoying. If I go back into the Gear VR and enable the "do not disturb" and then disable it again (so "do not disturb" is off). My speaker phone problem goes away.
Do you use Gear VR on your phone? If you do, then your speaker phone issue is probably related to the problem I had.
I hope this post will help some of you.
i got here by doing google.
my phone is doing that too. everytime i answer the phone, the speaker is on, i have to turn it off everytime !
cant find any setting to disable it, i think i going to reset my phone too.
@netnerd, Never found a fix, quite easy to do a backup and restore using Helium app after resetting the phone.

[Completed] [q] screen standby app - please help!

Hi all,
Having some real trouble with this app, for some reason it will not work on my rooted nexus 10. I'd really love to use it to get my screen to turn off when connected to hdmi.
I've selected the settings to deactivate the screen when connected to HDMI but nothing seems to happen. If anyone could help me out it would be much appreciated, I've already tried to contact the developer with no luck. I've already double checked my device is rooted so that doesn't seem to be the issue. It does have a "debugging" function, maybe that would help providing information on whats going on?
Otherwise it seems to be a great app which I would love to get working.
Cheers,
Tom
