Anybody out there using the latest pre-rooted stock rom (posted above)? Wifi issue

[Guest tuatha]

Posted this issue in the sticky thread above but I'm not sure if anybody actually reads that.

Flashed to this rom a while ago and I've noticed that the wi-fi is not allowing the phone to sleep. Which is a pain since I generally have wi-fi on most of the time and my battery is being drained pretty quickly now.

Battery history menu has the 'running' value at over 90% when wifi is on. Nothing unusual in the partial wake menu.

Obviously, I've wiped and re-flashed but the same issue persists. Also tried an older radio, but no joy. 3G is working normally.

Is there any way of fixing this without flashing to a different rom?

I answered in the other thread, make sure the WiFi policy is set to sleep when screen is off

Thanks Eddy but that's not quite what I'm looking for. I always had wifi set to never sleep in the past and I never had this issue with the phone staying awake.

I'm wondering if there's some way I could just revert to the old wifi. Would myshkinbob's wifi modules work on this latest rom, I wonder? He specifically says to only flash the version which matches the software on your phone...

Do you by any chance use a custom lock screen like GOTO or something similar?

Because those screens can often bypass the default lock screen and leave your phone unlocked permanently and that affect sleeping.

That's all well and good but if it's staying awake then there's something wrong so I was suggesting that to see if it does go to sleep. If it does, then it's something else Paul's changed so either go back to r9 MCR or try a different ROM

Nope, not using a custom lock screen. It's completely stock, other than the fact that it's pre-rooted.

Yeah, wifi set to sleep after 15 minutes works as expected.

I had regular problems with lag with the R9 releases which could only be fixed with a reboot so they're not an option. That's why I went for a stock rom. I guess I could roll back to an older stock, but I was hoping I might be able to just flash a custom wifi module, like the myshkinbob release that Paul has been using, over this rom.

Why not go back to 100% stock from an RUU and see what happens and then try flashing another ROM

Suppose I'll have to. Was hoping to do this without spending my evening flashing more roms but I guess it's never that easy!

Thanks anyway.
