[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkj:
Got the galaxy s2 running XWKE7

Under wifi settings>advanced>Wifi sleep policy. selecting turn off wifi when screen is off setting does not seem to take effect.

Tested by pinging it and continues to ping even 5-10 mins after screen is turned off.

anybody else having the same issue ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodak:
Have the same issue, want my wifi to turn off when the screen turns off but wifi stays connected.

Only thing I can think of is that i restored my access point with titanium.

Can this cause any problem and if it can, can I delete the restored settings?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sp1tfire:
My sleep policy works fine when turning screen off. When i turn on the screen, the wi-fi icon appears after a few seconds. Also the battery usage shows that wi-fi is off when screen is off and phone inactive. Might be related to one of your apps that conflicts with the wi-fi policy. Happened to me when using an app that had options to turn on/off wi-fi scanning.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodak:
Weird, will have to check this up.

But as far as I know I don't have any other app that manages wifi.

As you can see in my screenshot, wifi is on at all time even when sleep policy is set to sleep when screen off.

Currently I'm not connected to any wifi since I don´t have any in range at work but it looks exactly the same when I´m connected to my home network.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxgajo:
Hi, I have the opposite problem, I don't want my WF turns off when is sleeping. I remember that a program ask me to turn WiFi in energy save mode but I cannot remember which app and I have no clue how to go back...

Any help?

Tks a lot!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewok666:
Have you tried setting the sleep policy to 'never'?

Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I did a factory reset (XXKI4) and it was still the same. Screen off, policy set to turn off when screen is off but I can still ping the phone after a few minutes.....?!?

EDIT: I remembered ;-) Had the same thing on my original Galaxy over a year ago.

Needed to edit a database:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesthehammer:
Cant save sleep settings.....

I have a slightly stranger problem that's just started. I'm aware of the situation where wifi takes 15 mins to turn off after screen turns off was never bothered with that aspect.

However, since today I found wifi was staying on continuously - checked in settings & wifi sleep policy had reverted to 'never' - I always had it set to 'sleep when screen turns off'.

The problem now is that I change it to sleep when screen turns off' and 'save' this setting but it's not saving - when wifi goes off & then back on again or if I reboot phone, it reverts to 'never'.

Any ideas folks? :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Back-up data and factory reset .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hirak99:
Would like to know this too.

Wouldn't like to back up and reset everytime this happens.

Also couldn't find the files in /dbdata folder as indicated by the Galaxy S thread pointed to.

Is there any other solution?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkun13:
someone says using static IP will solved this issue but It didn't...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeozme:
Any news on that?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyOr:
how did you solved this ?

I have the same problem....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtatty:
Me too! Any word on that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David.T:
Had the same problem, where the battery no longer lasted the whole day.

When I checked under "Settings/ Battery" and clicked on the graph I could see that whilst the phone was sleeping, WiFi was not.

I have done a few "factory resets." All seemed okay to start off with and then after a while I would notice the same problem.

This last time I found that "Google Now" is the culprit.

Just click on the blue Google Icon, under Applications, then bring up the menu, click on "Privacy and Accounts" then "Google Location Settings", then "Location Access" and make sure "Use wireless networks" is not checked. (also available from "Settings/ Location services")

That fixed it for me!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyOr:
Mine is not checked and its still keep 'on' for almost hour...

as far as I know its better to be on wifi instead of data, eat less battery... but anyway I guess its have its own wakelocks...

So we know Gingerbreak won't work with the new 2.3.3 update.

Anyone know if any devs are addressing this for locked bootloader users?
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
I though gingerbreak had been updated and works on the new update now
[Xperia Play General] AriStar:
can anyone confirm this?
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
Shameless bump but good question
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Someone was talking about it in one of the threads in development, but maybe i misunderstood :s
[Xperia Play General] Deleted member 2488575:
Can anyone please confirm this.

Can you link us to that thread?
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
There's no update in the gingerbreak thread, it's still v1.2 that doesn't work on 2.3.3 nor 2.3.4 ;)

I got my flyer on Friday, mainly as I wanted an e reader, but night time came, I was snuggled in my bed! And damn the screen was too bright grrr..... So turned down the brightness. .... Grrr still too bright.

Then I found this app

Screen filter adds a lovely sheen across the screen to ensure no glare.

Makes the reading experience a joy!

No I can read winnie the pooh before bed!

3.Data 3G Works

Ok now for the bad news

1.Touchscreen isnt working

2.soft keys arent working

3.IDK What else isnt working because i cant get past the setup because no touchscreen...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
Updated OP With info trying to boot it up with cm7 kernel now instead of gingersense and see if touchscreen responds
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
Ok i get farther with aosp cm7 kernel [touchscreen actually works] but once you turn the screen off infinite bootloop :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rosser725:
:( maybe try incredikernel or something like that?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] odst0016:
If you can get this working you will be my new best friend lol. I've always wanted to play around with motoblur.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] odst0016:
I would think it would be working but you never know.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rosser725:
if this works and the lockscreen doesn't kill the phone, I will be the happiest geek ever
[Droid Incredible Android Development] odst0016:
I agree
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rosser725:
Anything yet?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
stuck on touchscreen still i dont think theres anything i can do until source code for the kernel is released
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rosser725:
Did you try any .35 or .37 kernels? That might work.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
I did it causes infinite bootloop/brick of rom when turning the screen off :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rosser725:
Oh. What kernel did you use to get the lockscreen to work without touchscreen?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yopete525:
How does the base port rom / mytouch port handle it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
Gingersense kernel....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rosser725:
Oh. Did u try froyo sense kernel? Sounds odd but it might work
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
nah it wont gingerblur=gingersense kernel

froyoblur=froyo sense kernel
[Droid Incredible Android Development] odst0016:
Wouldnt it be easier to port a 2.2 blur rom for our phones i know its outdated but it seems like it would be.

Looking forward to this rom as soon as a link is up im downloading and flashing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rosser725:
Ya never know lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gotbst05:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] wdfowty:
Well, if you knew how to use the platform tools in the sdk, there is screen capture capabilities built-in.

FYI

;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
ddms.bat under "tools" in the latest SDK on Win7. Open that and click the device name so its selected. Then device>screencapture in the toolbar up top.

link in op very work in progress though but i think i know how to fix the infinite boot loop when screen off problem
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Oh yea baby heres what I been wanting!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] frostincredible:
What kernel did you end up using?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
cyanogen mod kernel but the infinte loop problem is in the boot.img ill play with it when i have some free time
[Droid Incredible Android Development] frostincredible:
Is it the HTC GingerSense kernel that broke touchscreen?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
yup i need to take a look at this ramdisk to fix the bootloop problem
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dyetheskin:
I could always dig up my backflip,flash the stock rom on it and make a dump for u
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Seanzle:

They're little graphical glitches, usually horizontal lines that flash during screen animations. A little annoying, makes it look like your phone is borked.

Just FYI I got endless boot loops when I tried to do navigation and turned on google and vzw gps, had to restore a backup.

Bump! Keep incblur alive! Really looking forward to an ironed out version
[Nook Color Accessories] Taosaur:
From various threads, I see that the wiimote with or without the wii classic controller works well.

That's the only widely available controller I've seen. Some people have been pimping the Phonejoy modified PSX controller, but those are custom made. The datel retro wii controller has also come up, but Nintendo has all but driven these out of the market, and for our limited bt range, tethering Nintendo's Wii Classic controller to a Wiimote may be a better option anyway.

I'm specifically curious about the PS3 controller, but some googling suggests it's a no-go with Android for the foreseeable future. Too bad, as I may pick up a PS3 at some point, but probably will never own a Wii.

Any other game controllers tested working? Any of them look more versatile or otherwise better than the Wiimote + Wii Classic combo?

Has anyone using the Wiimote or other controllers found them useful aside from gaming?
[Nook Color Accessories] boogerboy72:
the datel retro controller seems to be the way to go imo.
[Nook Color Accessories] Taosaur:
IDK, looking around a little more, I found there's a newer generation (still a year old) Nintendo offering, the Classic Controller Pro:

http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-C...UTF8&coliid=INNONUR2I65HQ&colid=3L10NYSDYJ11Z

It stacks the L/R buttons, adds grips, and spaces the analog sticks better. Given the NC's limited range, it might be a pro rather than a con that it tethers to a bluetooth radio (the wiimote). At $15, even if you need to buy a wiimote you could come in under the $40 price tag on the datel retro.

ETA: Actually, a knock-off wiimote should be fine for our purposes, right? So you could have wiimote+CC Pro for $25-30 from Amazon.
[Nook Color Accessories] boogerboy72:
wow, havent seen that before, thats deff way to go.
[Nook Color Accessories] Therev29:
There is also the Msi bgp100 gamepad. But personally I have a datel and love it. Not to much use besides gaming though.

I like the datel because its 1 controller instead of 2, having the wiimote and a classic controller just seems bulkie. But, yes, it would give you an extra foot of 2 of range if needed. Fyi the datel is the only stand alone wireless on the market. All the other aftermarket wireless wiimotes have to plug an adapter into the back of the wiimote.
[Nook Color Accessories] nolook:
im using a fake wiimote and it works fine...going to get the classic controller to extend the range a bit

check out deal extreme for some good deals...shipping does take forever from china though...
[Nook Color Accessories] Gin1212:
I too would have liked to see the PS3 Controller work. As I think it really would have been the ultimate controller as far as everything goes.

However it doesn't, so I purchased a kid's wiimote (just a smaller wiimote for extra portability) and a offbrand classic controller from gamestop for like $10. All in all was under 40, and it really helps with range issues.

That said, it's not much bulkier of a setup than the Datel wireless controller... If you're planning on taking the nook color somewhere to play games for a few hours, you can easily use an old backpack or wal-mart plastic bag to carry it all =\.
[Nook Color Accessories] seth.i.simmons:
Just bought a knockoff Wiimote and Nunchuck off of Amazon, and a Wii Classic Controller Pro, all for $29! Here are the links to the two items:

Wii Classic Pro

Wiimote and Nunchuck

I'll update yall as to how they work as soon as I get them, cant wait to get playin some N64!
[Nook Color Accessories] Taosaur:
Well, I was trying not to spend any more money on the NC this month, but I broke down and grabbed the CCP for $15 while my Amazon Prime trial lasts. I'll look around locally for a knock-off or used wiimote, but otherwise I can get one from Amazon for $10 shipped.
[Nook Color Accessories] Explore3:
I have not tried to use an emulator. However, this might be of interest to you.

N64oid a Nintendo 64 emulator is free for 1-2 weeks. In fact, Nesoid, Snesoid, Gensoid, N64oid, Ataroid, Gearoid and Gameboid are all free at the moment.

I haven't seen the Wii Controller itself, but I have seen 3rd party Nubchucks and Classic Controllers at 5 Below stores in the US... (It's like a Dollar store, but with the upper limit at 5 dollars per item...)
[Nook Color Accessories] poofyhairguy:
I thought that, then I bought a Datel Retro. With newer versions of CM7 I have the Retro working from 10 feet away.
[Nook Color Accessories] Taosaur:
Yeah, I checked the dollar store, but no love. I might be making a field trip near the cheap mall tomorrow, so I'll poke my head in Wally World and the like.

:eek: I've seen good results with the wiimote, too, but that's nuts. I wonder why the game controllers do so much better than other devices?

There's a new USBhost kernel for CM7 in the dev forum that should open the door to ps3 and xbox controllers... ;)
