*Edit* Wi-Fi sleep policy is set to never.
It seems like the Wi-Fi goes to "sleep" on the DHD. I installed VLC Remote a little while ago, and after 1-2 minutes the controller will not work. I had to quit the app and reconnect for it to work.
I did a test by pinging the DHD from my computer while the VLC Remote was active, turned off the screen several times. It worked perfect!
I then stopped the pinging and after 1-2 minutes the VLC Remote stopped responding. I pressed the pause button several times, nothing happened.
Then I started the ping back up (the VLC Remote was still open) and after a 2-3 "Request canceled" (no ping reply back from the phone) it got a response from the ping and the VLC Remote worked again.
Is there any way to make the Wi-Fi not go to "sleep"? It's annoying me to stop/start the remote every time I want to pause the movie.
I tried turning Best Wi-Fi performance on, but that didn't help
Thanks!
select the wifi settings, then press the menu button and select advanced, change the wifi sleep policy to never and your laughing

Thanks for the reply fkofilee. It's already set to "never". Updated the original post and title with it.
I restarted the phone and did some more testing.
As long as the screen is on there are no problems (VLC Remote responds), but when I hit the on/off button on the top of the phone to turn the screen off and turn the screen back on after a couple of minutes, VLC Remote will not respond. I have to ping the phone for VLC Remote to respond again.
Any suggestions?
same here, have to disconnect/connect to wifi to get it going again. Really frustrating when my exchangesync fails. Work as a IT-administrator and have to get serverfails reported as soon as possible.

I also have this issue its so annoying. I could be connected to wifi and have bars and then go to download something from the market it will pause and when I go into network setting its says wifi is authenticating but it doesnt change so I have to turn off and back on to get it working again. I had a Iphone 3gs and never had wifi issues like this.

I don't think we have the same problem. Downloading seems fine. When I ping it (while running VLC Remote), it works fine. I can shut the screen off, turn it back on 10 min later and it works fine. It seems like it goes into a type of "sleep mode" when there is no active traffic to/from the phone.
I sent an e-mail to HTC about this problem. I'll keep you guys updated.
Dont know if you do or are into mods but if you root your phone and flash clockwork mod you could try and push a new wifi module using root explorer...or even flash a custom rom...Pretty sure this would fix it..
Depends how much you know about this stuff though..
I can help you through it if you want to...some people dont want to though and I cant blame them...

Thanks rixsta! I'm gonna do a custom ROM, but I'm gonna wait until Gingerbread is released and custom ROMs have been made for that.
Are you up for testing if this is a problem on your ROM? If so, is this fixed with a new wifi module?
*Edit* With LeeDroid 1.2 and Buzz 1,22Ghz v1.0.2 it fixed the problem! I also sent a mail to HTC and they have forwarded it to the programmers.

I'm using leedroid's Rom so can't test and I've just got it working great..but...why don't you just root with visionary and pay £2.50 for root explorer and move a new WiFi module...that's all you need..
Up to you really..you could use Apache oc kernel...you will need to s off with this method and buy setcpu from the market...if your going to be doing custom roms in the future then you will need to do this anyways...if you need help let me know...I can tell you where to get the WiFi file from...

I haven't used my tether for a few days now, but I know it was working fine before the last update. I'm rooted and running LG2. Im using wifi tether for root. It starts fine and says it is running, but it's not broadcasting. Even I try to do a manual connection to the SSID it wont connect. I didn't think that last update changed anything with that, but like I said, It worked fine before that.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Edit: sorry saw the last sentence saying you were rooted, my bad. Do you plug your phone in when running it? For some reason wifi turns on when you plug the phone in.. And that can mess with tether. I usually plug in, reboot (its fast enough lol) then run tether, which will take over the wifi feed on its own.
Did you have root after the update? If you're rooted, you have to wait for a rooted update to come out on here. Otherwise, an OTA update can mess that up. Not sure if that's the case here but thought you'd like a quick reply..

NP....I am plugged in, but the wifi says it is off. I turned the wifi on and I get the "what the hell" mesage, then I turn it back off and start root again and still get the same results. I will try rebooting the phone and see if that helps. Thanks!

OK so the reboot didn't help, but unplugging my phone did. If I start the tether with my phone unplugged it works, but it stops working as soon as I plug it in again. So now how do I fix that? LOL! Thanks for the help though....at least it will work until the battery dies!!

Yeah, something with hooking the charger up is a mess, and it's a bit of trial and error, it might take more than one reboot while hooked up. What you might want to do now, if you're off battery, is turn off tether, plug in the charger, wait like 3 seconds, then re-activate tether to get it to control wifi again?

Try going into settings in WiFi Tether and changing Device Profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE). Then while still in settings hit menu and (Re)-Install binaries/configs. Worked for me. Only difference is I'm on Verizon but that shouldn't matter. :good:
Any luck, Karma?

I am able to get it to work by jumping through all the unplug/replug disable/reenable hoops......but then the tether just stops running automatically after like 10-15 mins..... I just read about the power save settings so I turned that off and I'm going to try that now and see what happens.
Thx portrub! That is the profile I am using, but I havent tried reloading binaries. I'll give that a shot too!
Thx for all the help guys!
UPDATE: Ugh....no luck. The wifi still shuts off automatically........it's really hard to play D3 while im at work when I keep losing connection!! LOL!!

My wifi tether is still turning off when pluggin in power and after about 15 - 20 mins of use. Any suggestions? I've tried all these things and none work.
I have 2 GS3s, both stock rooted to get the wifi tether working and this is only happening on one of them.

Yep just gave it a try all is good.
Hopefully someone can figure out how to make it work on rooted device with custom flashed rom.
App reads flash count before starting , if flash value reads 1 Allshare becomes Noshare
You got it working? Man, I seriously tried for an hour to get it working. I must be doing something wrong =/

No problem.
With Sprints version there was no need to turn off wifi first so I'm thinking its a bug that Samsung needs to address on are build.
When connected and you try youtube - anything data related a pop up will display letting you know wifi will be enabled allshare needs to restart.
Let it do its thing connection will re-establish .
Wow, this thing really does not work well. Wifi turns on by itself randomly and when it's on, i can't reconnect.

Ha I figured it out.
Simply Start Allshare app using pulldown Toggle.
Doing it that way will allow for app start when wifis already enabled no more crash will be had
Hmm it works intermittently for me. Hopefully the next software update will change that
Hmm I was never able to get it to work. Not with my note2 or s3. I'm starting to think maybe I have a bad dongle.
One question when you press the reset button on the dongle and the indicator light turns blue does it stay blue or does it turn back to red pretty quickly?
It's been said a few times that SELinux settings have an effect on mobile connection on some phones, not all, but some. Mine being one of them, that theory has also been criticized, ironically by those who's phones do not suffer from the issue. Anyways, if your trying a 4.4 ROM and have no APNs, no baseband, IMEI etc grab SELinux mode changer from the market, set to Permissive and be on your way. Why or what causes it is beyond me but changing to Permissive solves it. It takes a few seconds after boot for supersu permissions, a few seconds then for your APNs to be populated and baseband, after that you will get mobile connection working.
Hope this helps someone else fighting the same issues. Here's a video showing before and after, a little wait at the APN screen the second time for them to be populated. Also, sorry for the quality, just easier to record the screen directly compared to holding a camera.

Glad it was of help, just passing on what I have read and tried to make it easier to find so made a thread for it, some of us have the issue but appears the majority do not.
I had the issue initially when installed with twrp, did it once again with cwm, worked like a charm. Good info to keep in mind though.
anybody got the apk handy they can upload? flashed the latest cm nightly not knowing it was 4.4.1, and the store won't connect via wifi for whatever reason.. i'd rather not have to do a clean install to get my phone working again.
Thanks.
Nevermind, I managed to pull it from the woman's unrooted moto x. It's here if anyone else needs it..

just out of curiosity. vAre you guys having any issues with the AOSP roms slowing down the data speeds? I know people have said for a long time since GB I think that the tw roms are much faster than AOSP I never saw that on HSPA+ but I am on simple moble and they just turnrd on their LTE and my phone gets an average of 28 down and 14 up. on tw roms but on AOKP or other AOSP roms it gets 8 up and 3 down. Like the lte is not working. Anyone else have these problems?
I love you.

OK so here's what's going on the app works great but when I turn it off everything on the phone that it's installed on says it's off the app says it's disabled the process is gone from running processes but somehow it's still broadcasting because even with it off all my other devices still see it and they try to connect but fail
Now if I reboot after turning the app off everything is fine see the problem is if I don't reboot after turning the app off I get a massive battery drain. I was wondering if anyone else had this app installed and are having the same issue here is a link to a video that I made showing what's going on its on a zip file just so I could upload it faster please take a look and tell me what you think could be going on
I've emailed the developer but he doesn't know what's happening and why anyway here's the link

Hello Rob
I am also having the same issue with D855 international version with 10e Europe firmware and Wifi Tether Router app.
The turnaround action I am using is to go to the "recent apps" (button in the botton of home screen) and close the Wifi tether app window. Doing that, the wifi signal is gone. So I do not need to reboot.
Hope this "solution" can help you a little. But of course it would be better if the dev fis that in the app.

I had the same problem with my lg g3 and my Samsung PM 900. I decided to uninstall the app until there is a new update hoping it might be better...
I've emailed the developer and he can't find a problem I emailed him a video showing exactly what it was doing
I think I found the problem if you have the hacked hotspot apk installed this app won't stop broadcasting so far by putting the original hotspot apk back on has fixed the problem but I'm still doing some further testing to make sure
I bought a used Xperia M for my mother.
Everything works great (i update to latest stock sofware) except wifi.
it says I'm connected but wifi keeps droping. When using chrome, it just hangs there and no page loads. And I tried using Fongo (Voip app), I can place a call, but after 10-20 seconds, I can't hear anything, and the other side either.
The wifi icon is always there, but clearly the phone drops the signal.
other phones/computer in the house have no problem on my wifi network.
Any ideas?

It's possible, but I doubt it. The lady that sold it to me didn't strike me as the scamming type. If something is wrong with the phone, she probably didn't know it. And either way, fooled or not, I'm stuck with the phone now...
My mother doesn't use the wifi on the phone, but if she wants to switch to using voip, it would be nice to have the option.
And the first thing I did when I got home was a full wipe with a flash/upgrade of stock firmware using Sony program.
I'll try doing another one just in case.
I read on other forums that people were having these problems, but no one had a fix for it..

The wifi band is set to auto, i tried both separately too. Keep wifi awake is set to always. And i tried a combination of all the other settings. The phone is set up just like my phone and my g-f's phone. The reception is excellent on the xperia, it just sort of freezes...
Anyway my mother came to pick up the phone this morning and she didn't mind the wifi not working. If she ever chooses to switch to voip, I'll either try to fix it or change the phone.
I'll try to look around in the mean time if I come across a fix. If I do i'll try it when she comes to visit.
Thanks!
