Doesn't work on S4mini cyanogenmod 11

[obifur]

Hi,
I thought this is exactly what I need: I don't use mobile data but only wifi and K9 mail with push notification. Because wifi is off in standby (which is good because I want to save battery) I need a tool to switch it on from time to time while the phone is not in use.

The problem:
Batteryfu is simply not switching wifi. Not automatically nor manually. Even if i disable Batteryfu I'm not able to switch wifi in the Android settings manually until restart.

This sounds like I'm passing the buck, but I would suspect that the problem might be to do with the ROM. I have 3 devices with CM11, and they all toggle wifi and mobile data fine using BatteryFu. One of them fails after a while and I have to reboot to get toggling working again, which is a problem with the ROM.

Would a logcat be helpful? Am I be able to attach a file here or do I have to cp paste it (which would be a long post)?

[tobykurien]

A logcat might be helpful. Also check your WiFi sleep policy. I have set mine to always keep WiFi on, even during sleep mode. BatteryFu will then take care of toggling it.

Ok, I did the following (btw, it's CM11-M7):

• set wifi to always On
• Start/enabled batteryfu
• reboot

Then wifi is always off and can't be activated in any way.
Here's the log:

As can be seen from that log, BatteryFu does attempt to put WiFi on, but it doesn't turn on for some reason, and it gives up and turns mobile data on. Does your WiFi ever come on, even manually? Is it associated with an access point?

[obifur]

Directly after starting batteryfu wifi turns off. But it is still possible to switch wlan on again by choosing "go online now" or "always online". Also manually via settings. Choosing "standard" let it switch off again even with option "data while screen on".
Once the phone switched to standby after a few minutes or after a reboot with autostarting batteryfu, wlan can't be switched on in any way even after deactivating batteryfu. Then the phone must be rebooted.

no change with CM11 M8 ...
