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...

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.
Just got my Mix 2S. It's a Global variant. Global Rom 9.5.4.0. Came factory sealed. Has all the usual Google Apps and so forth. Nothing shady. Unrooted/untouched. Completely stock.
Like the title says. Annoying bug. Wifi will shut itself off, I think during sleep, and not wake up when I use the phone. If I go into wifi menu, the wifi toggle is off and will not turn back on without a reboot. The toggle slides to on for a moment and then goes back to off. Exactly what you see in this video. Any ideas? Know bug? Do I need to wait for the next global version OTA?

Sorry, can't help but have observed exactly this behaviour on my Mix 2 as well. Turning off sleep mode (Settings >> Battery >> Scenes >> Sleep mode) may help.
Any progress here? Same problem.
I had this problem and fixed it by going into wifi settings and setting keep WiFi on during sleep to ALWAYS. Doesn't seem to affect battery life much if at all.
happens to me too now on stable 10.0.4 anyone any input?
I noticed before it started it asked me enable some smart feature to scan for kown wi-fi and turn itself on if it finds (was a prompt) anyone known where that setting is?

Hi
Pretty sure the AI is powering off my phone when it sits in idle for more than 3hrs... ...which is super odd..
Only happens in the evenings though... super strange...anyone else having an issue like this? If i turn on Airplane mode it does not happen
The only time I can go without using my phone for three hours is during sleep time. When I wake up the next morning my phone is still on. How's the battery life when you turn it back on?
Seems like you have scheduled/off feature turned on. Go to Settings> More Settings > Task Timer> Scheduled On/Off and check if you have anything active there.
