[GUIDE] Stopping WiFi from Turning Off at Lock

Well, I do not know if this happens on any other ROMs (this did not happen when i was on Android Revolution) but after flashing CM7 RC4, I noticed the WiFi would turn off when you put the phone to sleep, this irritated me because I am on IRC often. So here is a guide to make it so it doesn't do that. Another advantage to doing this is that wifi eats up less battery than Mobile Data.
1. Open Settings, go to WiFi>WiFi Settings
2. Hit menu and choose advanced, then choose "WiFi Sleep Policy" and set it to "Never"
You're all finished.

YA. But Its NOt Working..

[Q] Juice Defender Ultimate

So using this app, I want to be able to listen to live radio but when my screen turns off JD turns off all data connections (expect if I'm on wifi)
What settings do I need to set JD at to keep it from doing that?
Thanks.

Theres a simple setting that is "turn off data when screen is off" or something to that effect. Don't use that setting, and it won't cut off your data.
Be aware that this is one of the main features that Juice Defender uses to save battery, but as you've found out, you get no background data. This means no streaming, but also no push updates from any services.
Keep in mind as well that if you're using your phone frequently, but not for a long time (aka frequent e-mail or text replies, etc.), so you're turning the screen on/off often, JD might actually drain more battery than simply leaving the phone stock. It takes a long time and subsequently a lot of battery power to be turning the data services on and off dozens of times a day. Sometimes moreso than simply letting it stay on. 3G data doesn't really drain a lot of battery unless its actively transmitting.

I'm using the advanced settings in JDU. If you go to the Triggers tab you can try 2 things. Right now I have traffic set to enabled. If live radio is playing and using data then it should continue to do so until the data stream stops. You can play with the settings if you think it needs more or less time or data, obviously.
Previously I used the Apps trigger and told it to give Pandora, Amazon music, etc., full rights to use data. That might be another option for whatever program you are using.

Just go to the Trigger tab (note: You might have to choose Advanced as profile to see the Trigger tab). Then, in the "apps" section, choose activate (or enable, I'm not sure what is called in the english version) if not already chosen. Then tap below on "Configure apps". In that list you look for your Radio app and set it at "Enable/screen off". Then the data connection for your radio app should be enabled even if the screen goes off.

I use it for cut 3g and battery life, do his job, nice app

I would recommend using Tasker instead. You can configure it so that data stays on if the radio is on, but turns off when the radio is off.

What's the advantage of using Tasker instead of Juice Defender?

This seems to work but what I didn't know was that the app has to be in full screen mode. Can not just run it from the widget on my home screen...

Settings for Optimal Daily Screen On Time and Usage

Beware: These are my settings and have worked for me and a few other family/friends who own HTC One X's. What may work for one person may not work for everyone. Because different people use their phone differently throughout the day. But with these tips and settings each person was able to maximize the use and efficiency of the battery (including me).
ON AVERAGE I GET : 3-4 HOURS SCREEN TIME, ON ALL DAY MODERATE TO HEAVY USAGE , MY BEST WAS 5 HRS AT ONE POINT!
(Text Messaging, 1 hour Phone Calls, Camera, Music, Facebook, Email, WebBrowsing, Twitter, Spotify, PULSE News, ESPN Scorecenter)
-----------------------------------------------
Before we start If you are on OTA 2.20 Update make sure you root your phone using this guide (you can only do this if you saved the "Unlock_code.bin" from the 1.85 root method.

------------------------------------------------
After you complete the above requirement. Then move onto the tips/tricks below
APPS NEEDED: BetterBatteryStats (root required), BatteryCalibration (root required), Quick Boot (root required), SetCPU (root required), SmartSync Disabler, TitaniumBackup (root required), Watchdog
Within Settings:
1. Wi-Fi:
Go to Advanced -->
- Turn off "Network Notification Setting"
- Select Always for "Keep Wi-Fi on during Sleep"
- Un-check "Best Wi-Fi Performance)
2. Still inside settings click on "More" under "Mobile Network"
- Make Sure "NFC" is set to OFF
3. In Accounts and Sync
- Make sure you turn off any sync settings you dont need. I usually leave DropBox, Facebook, Weather, Google on.
4. In Location
- Turn off GPS Satellites.
- I keep 1st and the 3rd setting checked usually all the time.
5. Display, Gestures, & buttons
- (This is Personal Choice) I uncheck "Animation"
- Uncheck "HTC gestures"
6. Sound
- Uncheck "Quiet ring on pickup" , "Pocket Mode", "Flip for speaker"
- Also uncheck "Dial pad touch tones", "Touch Sounds", "Screen lock sound" , "Vibrate feedback" .
7. Power
- Uncheck "Fast boot"
8. Language & keyboard
- Inside "HTC Sense Input" setting, Turn off "Sound feedback" , "Vibration feedback" , "Trace keyboard" , "Toggle keboards"
EXIT OUT OF SETTINGS
NOW:
- If you have the Sense UI Weather/Clock Widget good!, if not add the Widget to your Homescreen for this part
-- Click on the Cloud or Weather Icon on the Weather/Clock Widget ... THEN click on "Menu" --> Then click on "Edit" = now erase any of the other locations for weather ... this reduces the amount of places the weather has to sync to.
--- NEXT ... Go back to the home screen and now on the Weather/Clock Widget this time click on the Time ... THEN at the bottom click on "World Clock" ---> Then click on "Edit" at the top within the "World Clock" screen ---> then delete the other World Times ...
---------------------------------------------------
Download "SmartSync Disabler"
- Check the setting "Disable smartsync" (smartsync is apparently some glitch that causes your phone to drain overnight, look into it...)
- Restart your phone
------------------------------------------------
Download "Watchdog"
- Configure it and leave it be; this app will tell you when there are rogue apps running wild in the background.
-- After you are notified about the rogue app you can go and close it .... very useful to minimize stray apps causing battery drain
----------------------------------------------
Download "SetCPU"
- Set the "max" to "1134" (value I use, and i experience no lag .... this underclocks your phone without noticable lag or performance issues)
- The "min" is by default at "384" , leave it at that
- Check the setting "Set on Boot"
- At the bottom there are 2 little tabs:
1st tab: select "ondemand"
2nd tab: select "noop"
-----------------------------------------------
Download "TitaniumBackup" (I use pro version)
- Click on the "Backup/Restore" tab
-- Once inside the tab find and freeze any bloatware apps/signed apps that you dont need our use ... just longpress on any useless Apps and choose
--- For example I froze: YellowPages, ATT Navigator, Car, CityID, MOG, HTC Hub, Live TV, Top HD Games...etc...
-----------------------------------------------
Download "QuickBoot"
- Use this to quickly reboot or power down just by clicking on the app without having to hold on the power button.
----------------------------------------------
Download "BatteryCalibration"
- Charge the battery to 100%
- Once you are at a 100%, open this APP
- If you see "100%" in white bold letters --> Then click on Calibrate ---> Then unplug your phone and use
UR BATTERY IS NOW CALIBRATED
USE THIS AFTER SWITCHING ROMS and ETC ...
-------------------------------------------
Download "BetterBatteryStats"
- Use this app to check which apps are causing a lot of drain
- Look up the guide on how to use this APP to hone your "wakelocks"
----------------------------------------
HOPE THIS GUIDE AND STEPS HELP YOU AS MUCH AS IT DID ME, MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

I do all of these except battery calibration, setcpu, and I leave GPS on.
I don't see a need to use the battery calibration app on this phone. All my CPU tweaks I apply via init script so I don't need the app running using resources. Also I've found that GPS doesn't eat up too much unless an app is misbehaving. Also most of the sound stuff won't do to much. The only other thing I could suggest is use manual screen brightness instead of auto.
Other then that these are some good guidelines to good battery life
Good job OP :thumbup:
Edit: I also don't leave watchdog on there unless its a new ROM/app I'm testing. If you aren't experiencing wake locks there isn't much need for this app. Great for sniffing out rogue apps however!

Underneath "Mobile Network" there are 3 dots? click on that and then you shall see NFC within one of those settings!

Screen Staying On

Hey guys hope someone can provide some insight.
Since upgrading to 4.4.3 via ota, flashing supersu and re-enabling xposed, my screen does not automatically timeout. It will stay on until I touch the power button to put it on standby.
I assumed it was an app so I've uninstalled anything new and still no change.
I have no clue what is preventing my device from sleeping. Any help would be appreciated.

Few things to try out.
1. Set display to time out after 1 min. Then reboot your phone. See if problem reoccurs.
2. Settings -> Developer Options -> Stay awake (make sure this is not checked)
3. Check if you have apps installed that has permission to keep the screen on, even if it is not the active app on screen.
4. Settings -> Applications -> Running (kill any unnecessary running apps) (might help if you do the same for cached processes)

Turn Off Wifi during sleep mode

Hey guys,
I just need to know all the options available in HAM7 in order to switch-off the WI-FI whenever I pressed the lock-button or screen is off or phone in sleep mode?
However, Can anyone tells me how long does the phone needs to enter the "sleep mode" if it's screen timeout is set to 15seconds + all apps are protected "restricted" from (Running in background + Push-notification)?
Thanks

Hey Alex,
Thanks for your help, but i think there is already an option in the Huawei Ascend mate 7 phones for doing such thing but i can't really find it, the reason that i don't need to download any (Battery Saving Programs, that the phone is packed with the same utility too! called "Phone Manager") ,, it was working with me, but seems to be i done something (disable something or protect something "Restricting it") from doing it's normal function that i still don't figure it out what is it!
Thanks for your reply, I've tried this app and i wasn't knew what does "Smart WIFI" means until Now, so i would make it my last choice to download this app again, in case if i didn't find a way to manage it within the phone settings.

Unfortunately, I've the same options on "Never (increase data usage)"
But still the wifi is on, that means either the phone doesn't enter into sleep mode after 2-10mins or more or either it's not the option we're looking for!

Yeah, same here, I tested on 'Never' and I have the same result, so don't worry it's not from your phone, probably it's from the firmware I guess.
You can test the Smart Wi fi option from the Smart Battery Saver app to see if it works.

As you can see in the following picture it's my settings, without using the app "Smart Battery Saver" suggested by member in previous comments the device couldn't been able to Switch WIFI automatically, unless I use the app provided.
However, the phone was working properly but I don't know what happened to that option later on.
All my apps is restricted from running on background and app notification is restricted too, Sync is switched off. I wonder what eels remained.. lol

I found option to control Wi-Fi in the Viber application settings (you can see this option on the attached screenshot). May be you using something app like this?
And IMHO restrictions working only for automatic memory clearing if it's not enough for active application, but I could be wrong.

I found out if you want wi fi turning off during sleep do this: Go to settings - > WI-FI -> scroll down -> Advanced Settings -> Keep Wi- Fi on during sleep -> Only when plugged in.
I think this was the setting you were looking for. With this setting my wifi disables every time during sleep and reconnects automatic when i turn the screen on.

It seems to be doesn't work, I've tried it just in few minutes, and changed my display screen time-out for 15-seconds to go to sleep quickly, still it doesn't work after several minutes, so my question is for (How long does the phone consume from time to "enter sleep mode/device WI-FI switched Off") with your phone?

I think it must be in sleep mode at least 5 to 10 minutes. If you just turn off the screen and turn back on, the wifi will not disabled. Test it. Let the phone off for 5-10 minutes to have time to enter sleep mode. If you want to disable the wifi immediately every time you turn off the screen, the only solution is that app.
