How To Modify The WiFi Sleep Policy

[chrisngrod]

This seemed to work for me! +1 for Advanced Wifi Lock

Maybe I spoke too soon. Eventually turned off again...

What setting in spare parts are you referring to?

 

[chrisngrod]

The Spare Parts that is included in most Froyo release doesn't have it. If you download it from the Market you'll see the sleep policy settings.

thanks, dl'd!

This wouldn't happen to be the same WiFi sleep policy in Settings>wireless>WiFi settings>(menu) advanced is it? On the epic 4G I would have never found that on my own

Not sure, but I know the one in Spare Parts doesn't seem to work with the Nook Color. I'm going to try what you said. Thanks.

How long did it take before wifi was turned off?

If it was about 20 minutes, then you've probably got the timeout option enabled which will disable wifi after 20 minutes, but you can just turn that option off and wifi should stay on indefinitely.

I definitely didn't set that on. I've modified a few more things and going to see what happens. I'll report on the matter.

There is a known issue with this OC'd kernel and the wifi...

I've updated it and added a Wifi lock (in addition to wake lock) and it now checks your system wifi sleep policy.

It's worth trying the app again, as these changes should have improved support for more devices.

Feedback is appreciated.

Note: After you've changed any settings, you need to press menu button, then save. Or just press the back button. If you just press your home button, it won't save changes or start the service.
