Wifi disconnecting when locked?

Sometimes when my ipad is locked even if i'm downloading something it'll disconnect from my wifi no matter what i'm doing on it and it's really anoying, is it something to do with ios 6 or my ipad?

Strange, my iPhone does not do that. I can make/receive calls over WiFi.
Sounds like a problem with your BT router.

Is it normal wifi disconnect when iPhone 5 iOS 6.0.1 is locked or in Sleep mode?

is it normal wifi disconnect when iPhone 5 iOS 6.0.1 is locked or in Sleep mode? i wondering if this normal or not, coz my iPhone 5 disconnect when my phone is locked or in sleep mode, any suggestion or comments are highly appreciated!

It sounds like to me that Apple has worked out a way that the data service providers can increase your usage of the cellular network to increase your bill which undoubtably has resulted in kickbacks. It is pretty crafty and I'm sure most people won't even notice. What really blows my mind is that they have people saying that it is to save battery life. I can't imagine that the ammount of suppossedly saved battery life is even messurable. Reeks of a scam to me.

WiFi disconnected when screen locked on Lumia 920

Hello,
As far as I could see, this issue is being discussed on some other issues.
My issue is simple: my WiFi disconnects when my screen locks (depending on the timing I set..3 minutes, 15 minutes, etc.). Is it normal? If not, how can it be solved?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It is normal for your phone at the moment. However, Microsoft will be releasing an update soon which includes a change to this, so you won't have too long to wait.

Wifi disconnects when waking from sleep mode; running Mountain Lion

Had this same issue with Lion as well,, wifi disconnects when waking from sleep mode,,,any ideas how to fix this pesky issue?

Hi Sky,
This has worked for a few...
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
10.7…
System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Also, turn off IPv6:
System Preferences » Network » AirPort » TCP/IP tab » Configure IPv6
Or whatever Interface you use.

Time Capsule WiFi disconnects when a Fujitsu Siemen Laptop with b/g network

Time Capsule WiFi disconnects when a Windows Vista based Laptop with "b/g" network connects. When i use Macbook with "n" Network.
Surprising that TC and MacBook both from Apple can't stay connected when Fujitsu Siemens Laptop joins through WiFi.
I use a DSL Modem (Speed 1 Mbps) connected thru ethernet to Time Capsule on Bridge Mode.

Yes, n is better, but if you have it running on b/g/n (since you have to with your b/g only notebooks) the n is inactive. Kind of a waste. Others have resorted to adding another wireless router which one set to b/g/n and the other n-only.

Why does my WIFI disconnect when I plug in my cinema display (retina)?

When I connect my Cinema Display to a DVI to Thunderbolt adapter and then the adapter to my Retina Mac Book Pro the WIFI disconnects. What is going on here? It was working just fine a day ago.
Lil' help?

Hi wreckdiver05,
It is normal for your Mac to close its network connections when it is put to sleep (for example, closing the display on a portable Mac). If you are having issues with it not automatically rejoining your network when it wakes, you may find the following articles helpful:

Sounds like you have a internal connection problem in the iPod. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of a local Apple store.

Wifi disables when locked, and prevents receiving notifications

My 3gs running 6.1 turns off wifi when it is locked, i usually keep data usage off when i'm connected to wifi. when i go to unlock the device, it takes about 5 seconds or so to reconnect to wifi, this is annoying, but not important. the true issue i cannot bare is the fact that i do not recieve notifications because of this problem. i would prefer options other than updating, reseting options, ect.

How can iPods and iPads with no cellular data recieve notifications, facetime etc

Wifi Disconnecting when watching videos?!

Hi I have had my ipad for a while now and this has been a problem from the start. My wi-fi shows that is is at 2-3 bars all the time and i am close to my router, only 1 door is between where I use my ipad most the time. However when I watch a video on my ipad for example youtube, my wi-fi suddenly disconnects completely, going from 2-3 bars to nothing at all! When this happens no other device in my house that uses wi fi can connect! This is a major problem as it works all the time but only when I watch videos does it disconnect, and most of the use of my ipad is to watch youtube, and other media. Does anyone know any ways to solve this problem? Or why it is happening?
Many thanks, Callum
To specify:
Ipad 4 with retina display, (lightning connector)
Version 6.1.3 (taken from general tab on settings)
My wireless connection is fine, it works with all other wireless enabled devices in my house

Lenovo U410 - Wifi disconnected when connected to USB.

Hi, I bought a Lenovo U410 sometime in July 2012 (bought it back home in Malaysia). About a week or two after I bought it, the laptop sleeve cover came off, causing the laptop to fall to the floor. But fortunately, other than a small dent (pictured) at one corner of the laptop, everything seems to work okay. [well, if you plug in an earphone, only the right side would play but I'm not too concerned about that] I've enjoyed using the laptop, everything works fine & easy for me. I use it mainly for my studies (I'm a rising junior in Madison) and occassionally some photos & video processing. Other than The Sims, I never actually used my laptop for 'gaming' stuff (was planning to soon though). But recently, in the past few months, I realized that there's something wrong with the laptop. It connects to WiFi just fine and everything, but whenever I connect my external hard drive to my laptop, my Wifi would disconnect automatically & wouldn't reconnect until I remove the hard drive. This happen even when I connect a USB port to the laptop, but doesn't happen when I connect a small USB pendrive or my phone (Samsung Note 4) or a bluetooth speaker. Not sure what's the problem with it, and I'm a noob when it comes to things like this, so I would really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!

Hi syazanazura,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
The Laptop maybe having power issue since the drop.
You can try opening
Control Panel / Hardware and sound / Power Options / Change plan settings on selected power plan / Change Advanced power Settings
Now look for the Wireless Adapter Settings Make sure not to use the scroll but use the scrollbar to the right
Open the Wireless adapter setting and make sure that both plugged in and on Battery are set to Maximum Performance.
Let me know if this works for you

Call disconnected when lock is pressed

I used to be able to lock my phone (press the top button) when I was talking on it. It was a very nice feature when I wanted to move around and keep the phone in my pocket.
Now... when I press lock, the call disconnects.. I can't put it in my pocket of fear of something being pressed.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks
Sophie

This happens to me pretty often. Reboot it if it keeps happening, but it will happen again in the future. I don't know if it is a software problem, or maybe we have broken phones. This has been happening all along.

Wi-Fi turns off when locked

Does the wi-fi signal down to Edge network after the phone locks? If I have Wi-Fi on and connected, then lock my phone, after I come back and unlock it the network symbol Edge. Then, after a moment, it switches to the wi-fi symbol.
I think thats great because it will save the battery life big time.

Wifi disconnects when you put the phone to sleep.

Hola, tu problema le ocurre a mucha gente y por lo que he podido leer por aquí, no está del todo claro si es un problema de hardware únicamente o de hardware combinado con el software pero en cualquier caso te resumo los pasos que han mejorado el problema para mucha gente y quizá alguno de pueda ayudar.
- asegúrate que el router de tu casa tiene la última actualización de su software y resetea tu router.
- has que iPhone olvide tu red y vuelvela a configurar
- pulsa otra red (en lugar de pulsar el nombre de la tuya) e introduce el nombre SSID de la misma manualmente
- cambiale el nombre a tu red
- cambiale el canal y la frecuencia por las que emite señal tu router
- cambiar la encriptación de seguridad de tu router a WEP o a WPA2-AES
hay algunas acciones adicionales que ahora no recuerdo que han ayudado a la gente con problemas de WiFi, puedes buscarlas con Google pero yo te recomendaría que buscaras alguien que entienda bien ingles y mires aquí un larguísimo hilo que se llama "iPhone 5 WiFi issues". En ese hilo están todas las sugerencias.
Parece que si se trata de un problema de encriptación Apple no puede reproducir el problema en sus routers porque estos no están encriptados. Si después de intentar todo lo que recomiendan sigues igual, yo llamaría a Apple Care, pediría hablar con un supervisor e insistiría en que le dieran la órden al servicio de asistencia técnica de Apple que te corresponde por tu localización que te cambien el terminal. Así han logrado resolver el problema bastantes personas.
Saludos,
