IPhone :: Wifi Automatically Turned Off When It Sleeps In IOS 5.1.1?
May 20, 2012
Before, I used iOS 5.0.1 and wifi would keep turned on when the phone sleeps if I turn off data. This way I could always receive instant notifications. But then I sold the verizon phone and bought a used FU one, installed with iOS 5.1.1. Now wifi is automatically turned off when phone the sleeps, even when data is off. Is this how it works? Because I want to use wifi, even when the phone is off.
My iPhone 6 Plus refuses to automatically connect to my WiFi at home almost every time it goes to sleep and I wake it back up. It is getting very annoying that I have to constantly reconnect it.
I have a single corporate email account setup (Settings/Accounts), the account syncs correctly when on 4G/3G. It also syncs correctly on Wi-Fi as long as I force the phone to stay awake (scroll on the screen/push a button every so often to keep the phone awake). However when using Wi-Fi and I hit the power button shutting the screen off putting the phone to sleep, it causes my corporate sync account to throw a "Connection Error" icon (orange triangle with exclamation point in the middle) at the top of the screen. Why do I think it is a sleeping/Wi-Fi issue? Because if on Wi-Fi and I hit the power button and wait a few seconds and hit it again turning the screen on the CE icon is there. If I force the screen to stay on (method above) I never get the error. If I switch my Razr to use 4G/3G and try the same power button on/off test method, I never get the error.
I have confirmed in my Wi-Fi settings Wi-Fi Sleep policy is set to Never and I do not have any Smart Actions turning Wi-Fi off. This seemed to have happened after the .173 update. I have also forced my phone to connect to another Access Point in my house to try and isolate this issue to an AP problem but my Razr exhibits the same behavior. Also confirmed in My Accounts|Corporate Sync|Server Settings "Verify Server" that I get "Success!" in the Verification Result Window.

I have a problem with my iPhone 3G It was working so well yesterday, however the past 4 days every time it gets down to 30ish% battery it turns itself off. Last night I put it on charge, looked at it after an hour and it was stuck on a black screen with a red low battery logo, i reset it and it went back to it over and over. I tried to put it into DFU mode and it worked, itunes then recognized it and I tried to restore it on my mac however half way through it said the iphone disconnected, I tried it again same thing. Is this the battery needing to be replaced?
When I turn my phone off it starts to play whatever song it feels like that I have installed. Like right when I turn my phone off it'll start to play. I have to have the volume all the way down so it doesnt start to play music anymore.If I pause it from the lockscreen it won't start back up which is good. its done this before and stopped but now it's gone on for a week or 2 and it's just really annoying.
Once or twice a month, when I unlock my phone I have the white apple with the progress bar below it out of nowhere. All my settings are turned back to factory defaults. Did the full restore and all but sooner or latter it does it again.
At night I make sure switch off my phone before sleeping and check it's off, but the next day when I wake up I notice my phone is back on, is this natural? Is there a function which switches my phone back to on?
When E71 is switched on it automatically starts installing a unknown application but fails an error message appears on the screen saying "Untrusted software found on memory card to install go to application manager". This problem occurred after installing new OVI store(downloads). This delays my phones switch on time. I'm sure it's not a virus.
My Z3 has been shutting down automatically. At first I was still able to turn it back on, but then would shut down within 5 min.
Afterwards, it would only be turned on a few seconds while charging. Now it wouldnt even turn on. Â I've exposed my Z3 to water (warm) earlier but I am not sure if that is the issue since it still worked after.
I find it very troubling that the phone ringer is automatically turned on when the headphones are put in. I have even set a "Smart Connect" function to try to work around this. Nothing better than having your ringer sound out over a sound system in a restaurant where you work...  My feedback from support chat basically said that the phone is made to do that and that since the phone is functioning correctly there is nothing they will do.  I am pretty sure I am a capable person, and should be allowed to control my phones notification functions.
Both my wife and I have the Atrix 2 and have been pretty happy, especially since it is our first smartphones. Problem is with the FM Radio. When she is using her every (and I mean every) 45 minutes her phone shuts of the radio. I don't have any problems with mine. I tried going to both phone screen by screen and we both have everything set the same.
The power on/off faulty? but why when I re-click on battery, it automatic restart the system without touch any button and screen. even I cant hangup the call as well.
If I turn off wi-fi and 3G on the iphone, can I use Siri for contacts and notes stored local on the iphone? (Verizon network)Can I place a phone call using Siri with wifi and 3G turned off?
I'm currently out of the country and have data services turned off. Had to redo settings. iMessage for phone number is now unverified and "waiting to be activated". It works with my email, but not my phone number, which is what most people have. Is there a way to verify phone number when the phone data is turned off? Or can I only receive via my email address until I am back in the US
Is there anything in Cydia that automatically turns wifi on when you're at a specific location then back off when you leave that location? For example, when I go to school it automatically turns on, but when I leave it goes off again?
When I'm at home my iPhone 4s will not connect to my wifi automatically I have to enter the password every time it's only started doing this but as soon as I'm away from home it goes to 3G then once get home should connect to wifi but doesn't even if I put password in then turn airplane mode on it wouldn't reconnect to wifii would have to enter password again
after I update my Iphone 4 to 5.1.1 I can't connect to the wifi automatically. All the time when I turn off the wifi from the phone I need to type the wifi code again.
Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Often my iPhone doesn't pick up wifi when I come into a wi-fi zone and stays on GPRS until I go into setting, wifi and then it picks up the network. Sometimes it does it automatically but it's annoying when it doesn't. It sometimes does the same with network signal if you go into a 'No Service' area and then come out of it it often takes a long time to pick up the network signal again.
I'm facing problems like NOSERVICE(network) displaying, Iphone switching off automatically, not getting connected to ANY WIFI in my IPHONE 5S . My device is 2 months 25 days old , i had already contacted apple service center they are saying that Internal circuit has been damaged due to Short Circuit and warranty doesn't apply for it.
When I put my phone down on it's screen, then it automaticly sleeps. I found it really annoying. Is there any possibility to disable that option? I have been already looking for it in screen and power-saving settings, but I haven't found anything interesting.
I just "upgraded" my wi-fi router to a Netgear WNDR3400. Everything seems to be set up fine, and I'm able to connect with our various iphones, ipads, and AppleTV. But our iphones won't automatically re-connect to the network after the connection is lost, and we have to re-enter the password when we re-connect.
