MPE looses wifi connection

As in subject. Connects OK (after some modifications of W7 firewall) but pending connection sometimes breaks w/no reason (at least I don't see any coincidence with phone activity). Then usually I turn of and on MPE client and it restores connection immediately.
I would appreciate any hint or idea on what is possibly going wrong or what to check in a system.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4

I have same problem.
During synchronization with many contacts, the smartphone client closes and after a few seconds it automatically restarts.
This makes impossible to finish the synchronization.
I tried to uninstall and then reinstall the client, but I always get the same problem.
I have a Galaxy S Advance with Android 4.1.2.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Have you tried to set the client to a setting that forbids the phone to switch into standby mode?

I have set the client to not go into standby.
The client closes during the transmission, if it is only connected, it maintains the connection.

->Koelner: setting MPE to avoid standby mode drains battery significantly. Is it the only way to fix the problem? If so, then probably I have to rethink the way I use MPE :(
Usually I have WiFi turned on all the time in the office (8:00-17:00)and MPE as well - w/o standby mode I won't probably work longer than 8-10 hours.

->Koelner: I am checking now the setup with MPE disabling standby mode, but to avoid battery draining I am entering standby manually.

A bit annoying, but so far it's working fine....

It is likely that the Android configured to enter standby automatically (after - say - 15 secs idle) is in conflict with MPE and disrupts connection sometimes . I hope :)

You are seriously telling me that you don´t end the MPE client on your phone after sync? Well, in that case...

In that case... what?
Yes, I am seriously telling that. I work with Outlook intensively and my calendar is usually full, I also modify my contacts often during the workday. I usually have 2-3 meetings outside the office and when leaving - on the go - I simply close MPE to sync all. When I'm back - I would like to be connected without thinking of it just to sync again when leaving.
Simple. And - mostly - it works like that. But sometimes the client looses connection or the connection can't be restored when I'm back.
But anyway this is a decent software, I've never used better for this purpose.

Try to set the Client to connect to MPE when conncted to your own Wifi.

Another possibility would be to work with profiles on your phone. For example, I use Phone Weaver. With this app you can start a app with using a defined profile.

Just one thing to think about.

Well, smartphones are smart because their users are smart and not because they do the thinking for their users. There are limits.

That's exactly my way.

Thanks for the hint - I'm gonna try PhoneWeaver. Do you have any experience with PhoneWeaver on Android 4.2.2?

That´s what I use for years now. Only the NFC Plugin seem to be a little bit sluggish.
