I use Iphone 6, IOS 10.3.x. I need connect wifi when the screen islocked because I need to be notified when mail (gmail, outlook, skype,...) arrives. And when i use other wifi, no problem.

Sam is correct. You may be able to disable some of the device's power save features (such as screen dimming, etc.) but the Wi-Fi element of the device will still sleep if the device is in a state where connectivity is not required, such as when the screen is locked, and therefore user interaction isn't possible.

This is common and standard on all mobile phones. I just checked my iPhone6s which was active less than a minute ago but the screen had turned off and was locked and when I hit the home button Wi-Fi was disconnected.

Why is it you need connectivity even when the the screen is locked? Which mobile OS are you using?

Thanks,
Darrel.

Hi Long,

Anyway - lot of phones are just turning off the wireless when screen locked.

No. I turn off Power Save in mobile phone but no fix problem.

Mobile devices will go into power save mode when they are not being used to prolong battery life, this is normal behaviour. I would advise reading up on DTIM and TIM functionality to help understand why the devices do this.

Hope this helps,
