Hi,
on my x10 with 2.1 nordic I have strange problem with wifi.
When i turn it on it find and connect to my wifi network but after a while (when i'm not using the phone) it just brake the connection and cant connect again until i do it manually.
Any ideas? Its really annoying me that my phone is using 3G instead of wifi after some timeout.
Mine does this as well. When I have WiFi enabled it doesn't use it unless I disable it and re-enable it.
Same here
Also it does another strange thing.
When I have connected to my Home Wifi and entered my password everything is fine. When I turn my WIFI off and back on. The saved connection to my home network is shown + again my home network without the PW. Very strange.
I am on the global generic 2.1.
I got round this by setting the wifi sleep policy to "never".. uses a bit more juice but I'm still getting a full day out of it.
Play a little bit with battery saver app. It will help

I don't like them.. I've tried a few but they all caused other problems, and never really saved me much juice either.

I don't know if it's only since my update to 3.1, but the Wifi Disconnect Policy doesn't seem to work.
I set it to Disconnect on Screen Off - but the pad is still tinkling away receiving email -- and still pingable across the WLAN.
Is anyone else finding this?

Yes I'm pretty sure I see the same. It is hard to be 100% sure as the battery use data seems broken, but I've seen wireless activity almost constantly from the asus to my router when the screen is off.
I also have issues at time with connecting to a network, it loops trying to get an IP address, turning the wifi off then on solves that problem, but it is a pain to have to do that....
I use JuiceDefender to disable WiFi when screen is off. I had already bought it for my phone where I want my data to be off at night while I'm asleep, so it didn't cost me anything to use it on my Tablet also. There is a free version you can try with few settings/controls. The paid versions add additional settings/customizations.
Wi-Fi will disconnect from AP after screen off 15 mins when Wi-Fi disconnect policy is set to "When screen turns off".
It's Android behavior.
Aha! Having done more tests (and being more patient ) It does indeed turn off after 15mins..
Cool.
(Would have been better if the setting description wasn't misleading...)
Hi,
yes after further testing it does indeed seem to turn off eventually. However once it is off it seems to have problems re-connecting when you turn the device back on again. I typically have to disable/enable WiFi to get it to work. Anyone else seeing this?

Yup - on occasion. About 10% of the time. Seems to be when I move between two different SSIDs (i.e. when I get to the office, or when I return home)
Would be happy to investigate, if someone could point me at any log/debug info that's accessible...?

I get that too
I now have a widget to turn off wifi. I turn it off when the screen goes off so that it actually turns wifi off (doesn't seem to disconnect for me either), and to turn it back on when I start using it again because it never reconnects properly :S
I have the same problem too. It keeps saying trying to get an IP address. Even I have DHCP running on the router, I changed the setting of home wifi on TF to be static IP address. Now, it connects all the time when waking up from sleep.
Hope that helps (at least when you are home).

same here. its been happening since I got my TF (launch date) Where on the TF do I set static IP address on the TF?
Go to Wifi setup screen. Press and hold on the wifi network you want to change. Then select "Modify Network".

Cool thanks.
So what I'm finding is that if my tab sits on the charger for a long time without using it, when I go to use it the wifi icon is gone. When I go into wifi settings, it says my network is not in range. To fix it, I have to toggle wifi off and then back on, and then it gets on my network just fine.
Anyone else have this problem?
Have you tried changing the wifi sleep setting? Worked for me, I believe it is under settings-asus customizedsettings- wifi sleep settings

really odd. Outta ideas already lol. Good luck!
I had this issue with my TF101 after not having the issue for 2.5/3rds of the time I owned the TF101. Initially I thought it was the TF101 but I narrowed it down to the router.
A) I had implemented a policy on my router to restrict the number of IP addresses it can "assign" to connections. In this case it was set to then and there were more than ten devices connected to the router making it impossible to assign an IP address to the TF101.
B) It could have just been something with the router I wasn't aware of as resetting the router always fixed the issue. Though this could be explained by saying resetting the router resets all of the connections and opens up a spot for the TF.
In Android phones you can use the secret codes
If you have the phone apk installed perphas you can use this:
WLAN Test:
*#*#232339#*#*
*#*#526#*#*
*#*#528#*#*

I have noticed that when my 300 is sleeping for a while, my email will not push/ sync. When I wake my tab up, Ive noticed the wifi icon is gone, but will come back in a second or two. Ive never had to toggle the wifi however.
And yes, Ive made sure the Battery Saving setting is unchecked to not suspend network connection while sleeping.
Alright, this is a frustrating issue that I've been having since day 1 with WhatsApp, and it's not even just SGS4, but with my old SGS too.
Problem:
Phone screen turns off while on WIFI, after a while of inactivity, WIFI still seems to run, but WhatsApp lost connection and takes a long time to reconnect, and usually requires a full restart of WIFI.
This does not happen on 3G for me, it only happens when WIFI is active.
Things tried:
- Turn off 3G entirely, so it only runs on WIFI.
- Reinstall WA
- Restart phone.
- Do a clean install of firmware (on my old SGS).
- Test it out on new phone~ (Brand new SGS4 i9505)
I don't know what's causing this, can anyone please help me figure this out? Let me know if you need more info.
is your router set to "always connected" or does it disconnect after sometime if no data comes in?
maybe i'm wrong but if it's only a wifi problem you maybe should look into your router settings.

Already looked into that.
Weird part is that Skype stays connected perfectly fine, but WhatsApp never does.
Please search a bit, this has been answered just a day ago.
