Network access when the Android phone is asleep
- by Immortal
I'm using a combination of alarm (set with AlarmManager) and background service to periodically synchronize data in my application.
The only problem I have is that when sleep policy terminates Wi-Fi connection the synchronization no longer works.
Is there a way to "wake up" the Wi-Fi connection that has been put to sleep? GMail somehow manages to do that because it notifies me about new e-mail even if the phone entered sleep mode.
