Isn't "Keep Wi-Fi on during" a helpful feature, if implemented correctly? Posted: 16 Oct 2021 05:34 AM PDT I have an old Samsung phone with an old Android version. It has "Keep Wi-Fi on during", and I think I saw that option in old custom ROM's, too. If you don't know, it is a feature that allows turning Wi-Fi off automatically when the screen is off and the device is not charging. I cannot find this menu in newer versions of Android, so I think Google has dropped it. I have tested with devices that I seldom use. In the power usage graph, the Wi-Fi was continuously consuming battery during sleep. If I turn Wi-Fi off, devices could last a LOT longer in sleep mode. Without the "Keep Wi-Fi on during" feature, in order to make the device last longer in sleep mode, I would have to manually turn Wi-Fi on/off, which is a hassle, and it seems that Google has removed the API to turn Wi-Fi on/off programmatically, too, so I cannot automate it by creating an app. I know that the feature has a problem. I.e., it turns off Wi-Fi, but not cellular data, so background apps try to use cellular data network instead, which is kind of dumb. But it doesn't have to be like that, does it? I mean, the system should also turn off data network, too, when it turns off Wi-Fi, and may only periodically enable Wi-Fi, if some background apps demand it. If it is implemented that way, I think it will be helpful for people who have lots of seldom used devices. I know Google won't bring the feature back, but I just wanted to hear what other people think about that feature. submitted by /u/evolution2015 [link] [comments]
