Is anyone else having this issue? Every time I wake the phone from sleep I see the wifi with no bars, then a second later it is full again. I found a thread where One X users were reporting the same issue. I have it set to always on and even have checked the increase wifi performance check box as well.
Also, sometimes using the bookmark widget the phone won't load a webpage despite showing a strong wifi connection, I have to turn wifi on and off to correct this
Must be an ICS thing because my Touchpad does the same thing.
On a side note, my iPhone does the same thing too.
in your wifi settings hit menu and click advanced. there is a setting to set the wifi not to turn off during sleep.

I said in my original post I had that set already to always... the mneu says "Keep wifi on during sleep" I have it set to always
Seems to be a known issue if the phone goes to sleep for an extended period of time wifi will disconnect regardless of the wifi setings. We will have to wait for htc or rom dev's to fix the issue.
If you get the Power Saver Settings app (free) from the market, you can access hidden power options in ICS. Two of which are "Manage my connection when screen is off" (which may or may not apply only to network data) and "Turn off Wi-Fi if not connected." Perhaps try those settings.
My WIFI was shutting off and it is sometimes a bit bumpy reactivating it every time I wake it.
So I tried setting that setting to Keep WIFI on always while asleep.
WIFI is MUCH more stable now when waking the phone.
However, it seems to be using up battery much more quickly too.

i'm having the same wifi issue with my evo lte. I even changed these settings you mentioned and the same thing has been happening for a couple days. guess we'll have to wait on htc or devs for a fix.
i changed the ghz or whatever on my fone and it seems to not die out anymore after an hour of sleep
i have the same problem which prevents me from getting email and some other notifications on time. hope htc can fix this.
Same thing happened on ICS leak for 3D. Mikey finally fixed the issue in MeanRom.

i was going to create a new thread... but found a 9 month old thread I previously started... I'm having the same wifi issues still.... since the recent update it has gotten worse. Often times at home I'llw ake the phone from sleep only to see the wifi is not connected.... so I am missing notifications/emails while it is sleeping.
I don't notice this problem occurring at work, so I'm guessing it may just be an issue this phone has with my router (Linksys WRT54GL)... but I'm not even sure what router settings I should change.

I noticed before the update that mine would do this after midnight, then after the update I stayed connected. However it's back to disconnecting after midnight again. I cannot figure out why.

I've been try to extend the life of my battery, and one of the things I have done is set the SETTINGS/WIFI/ADVANCED "keep WIFI on during sleep" to "never".
I make this change, but most times when I go back into the settings later on, it's changed back to "Always"
Anybody offer a clue as to why this might be happening?
Thanks.

no idea mate it shouldn't do as i have mine set to never and it stays like that, have you been flashing ROM's or anything like that maybe that could explain it!
No, not really.
The only thing I've done is rooted it. Apart from that, It's still got stock Samsung Rom on it.
Just checked again, and even tried setting it to "only when plugged in, but after 15 mins or so, it's back to "always" again.

For anyone else who might come across the same issue.
After doing a factory reset, and putting apps back on one at a time, I found out it was DoubleTwist Airsync, that was changing the "WIFI sleep" option.
Apparently, the developer knows this, but wants it to work that way.
So it's now gone for me
But you won't lose too much battery on an 7 hr sleep with the always on setting.
I go to sleep with my S3 on 98% and wake up with 92-94% battery left even with received messages from 3 email accounts and other notifications.

I keep mine on always. I lose 3% during an 8hr sleep and it'll automatically connect to my carrier data when my network is not in range. Sure beats turning it off and on a handful times a day.
Weird is that WiFi is active in either option you shoose during sleep. Even if you choose NEVER, open your battery use stats and you'll see that WiFi was active all the time during sleep. I cannot understand why is this issue so underrated here on XDA forums. Or is it some kind of misinterpreting from my side???

Yup afaik, choosing never will produce a wakelock to check the phone state and keeping it on will cause it to constantly scan even if connected to a network. Both choices will eat up battery.
I see many threads suggesting to just manually turn it off, preventing scanning, wakelocks and syncing all together.

So it is normal that if i choose Never in wifi sleep policy phone, i find the wifi always on in battery stats? This question is not so clear...
Is there any explanation of wifi toggles by author... Google?

So whats happening is, im streaming pandora or spotify and the music just shuts off about a minute after the screen does. And when i turn the screen on the wifi icon at the bottom right is blank for a few seconds, then turns grey, then blue and the music starts again.
I have checked the option to never turn off wifi and installed wifi keep alive, and tried regpon keep alive but neither are working. I've also been through all the power options and unchecked anything that would suspend my network connection.
I know its not a router issue because I'm getting full bars and everything is fine as long as the screen is active and my other devices do not lose internet connection.
I'm also not using a Dongle. Any ideas?

Yes I did.
Unless there is something non standard about the TFP there would be no reason that your streaming apps couldn't retain a WiFi lock - Android programmers guide here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/mediaplayer.html.
If a program such as regpon is needed then I see that regpon was last updated January 2011 - is it worth trying some other apps?

I've had this same problem, and it started after the Jelly Bean firmware update. Doing a factory reset didn't help. I tried contacting ASUS' service department, but they sent me back a boiler plate response just telling me to do another factory reset. As far as I'm concerned, the tablet was broken by the update. It's pretty much useless for any task that doesn't involve the active use necessary to keep the screen awake. I'm going to try calling ASUS this weekend when I have time to sit on the phone, but I don't expect much. At this point I doubt its something I could fix myself (unless I root the thing and spend time poking around for whatever hidden setting is forcing wifi off during sleep) and am resigned to the tablet being broken baring some patch from ASUS.
I've seen some similar reports from other devices too though. Yet not a single solution other than trying those two apps (which didn't work for me either). I don't know if its ASUS' particular Jelly Bean setup or a more general Jelly Bean bug.
My wifi's turning off while the tablet sleeps as well. It's really annoying; hope Asus figures out some sort of solution for this.

Thanks for the info. I did notice the problem after the jellybean update. I also just did a factory reset twice to try and fix the issue to no avail. Hopefully Asus rolls out a firmware update soon.

Go to wifi settings. Hit the menu and go to advanced. Uncheck the box to disable wifi on sleep. Its a little tricky with JB as the menu button is up at the top. It should look like 3 little dots sacked vertically.

Although I appreciate your help, the problem isn't that we haven't set Wifi to stay on during sleep (or unset an option for it to be disabled during sleep). The problem is that our configuration choices are being wholly ignored or overridden by some setting we can't see. For example, my Wifi Advanced Settings is missing two of the settings that are visible in the screenshot you've posted. I've included what I see. I've also included a shot of the ASUS Customized Settings menu which also has a wifi use during sleep option.
The Wifi Timeout option on your screenshot has caught me eye though. It seems like there is something hidden on my tablet (and the others experiencing this problem) that is similar to that option. Again, this wasn't a problem for me before the Jelly Bean upgrade. Setting Wifi to always stay on during sleep under ICS worked just fine.

My WiFi goes to sleep as well.
As the others I enabled all the settings to keep WiFi on.

I don't want to speak too soon, but the latest update seems to have fixed things for me. The patch notes mentioned that they adjusted the wifi configuration to recognize Chinese characters. Maybe the changes they made also corrected our problem. I'm also on my family's router while home fpr the holidays. I'd read that some users in JB regaedless of their device were having this problem with older routers.
I am curious to here if it is resolved for you. I have done the JB update to 10.4.2.18 which had that fix and I still see this problem. In addition it happens on any network I connect to so I don't think the issue is there.
Thanks

shouldnt have to. a streaming app should keep the wifi alive.
I've tested my tablet with all the posted setting set to keep WiFi on during sleep while streaming Pandora and it works fine. I let my Prime sleep for over 10 minutes without interuption. I don't know if this makes a difference but I am docked and using the Pandora app not streaming through my browser (Boat). I then set my Prime to shut off WiFi at sleep and Pandora (on the app) kept straming until Pandora timed out. Strange indeed.
I'm on 10.4.2.18 not unlocked or rooted.

Noob here.......
I saw this post and have just run into this problem myself.
When my tablet screen sleeps, my alarm apps won't work, and none of my mail gets pushed UNLESS I have it charging.
Why does this happen, and is there a work around? I've designated my wifi to never sleep/always be on.
I'm using an Onda v972.
I had a rooted Nook Color, and this never happened with that. Same programs.
Thanks for your input.

I have solved it I have same problem on my tablet and I fix it by downloading an app called WiFi advance Locke

Hi,
Has this problem been resolved? When the tablet goes to sleep Skype notifications no longer sound.
I keep the Skype app running in the background at all times. WiFi is set to not disable.

Hey,
There was a change in API 12 (Honeycomb and later) with the way "wifi lock" is handled. Even if the sleep policy in settings->wifi->advanced->"Keep wifi on during sleep" is set to "always", wifi will still be in a "low performance mode". This results in throttled speed (f.e: stuttering streaming), high latency (ping your phone) and can even cause disconnects, when the screen is off.
Still this is not bug but a feature of Android and should be addressed by any app that needs full wifi performance. Any app that needs full wifi performance (like streaming or file shearing over wifi) should call for "WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF". This can be found in the official "android developer reference". Before API 12 (honeycomb) an app just needed to call WIFI_MODE_FULL for "wifi lock". If an app isn't coded proberly for honeycomb and ICS and has issue with Wifi performance appart from calling "wifi wake lock", you should report that to the developer of that app.
I still found a simple workaround for scenarious in which this function is not properly called. There is an rather simple widget on google play called "WIFI High Performance Widget". If the widget is enabled, the function WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF is called and the wifi performance is on full speed even when the screen is off. Im not in any way involved in the developement of this app and there might be other apps out there, that could achieve the same (for example: Android Terminal emulator also calls WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PERF if "wifi lock" is enabled.) Still this widget is the simplest solution i found thus far. Just enable the widget and get full wifi performance when screen is off.
Greetings

Is there any other way round this apart from the above ? Its really annoying that this hasnt been fixed, my HTC sensation is EXACTLY the same.
We both use whatsapp, and its annoying because if we are on wifi messages don't come through until you turn the screen back on, on 3G whatsapp works perfectly when the screen is turned off its just the wifi.
Above fix doesn't work.
thats odd , when my screen is locked i receive whats app messages and if i am downloading something over wifi it keeps on downloading, currently on cm10 but when i was on the stock rom , even if screen was locked wifi didnt sleep

Tried that last night, doesn't work.
Same thing happens on my sensation, desire HD, a friends desire HD..but we have a friend in america who has an Inspire and his wifi works fine when the screen is off :/. So originally I think, ok its an android bug..but they why doesn't he have that issue ? I spent about 5 hours last night searching the internet and there are numerous posts about the wifi issue but no resolution.
Have you tried altering security settings on your router?
which rom are you using ?
Figured it out.
3 Android devices were all having the same issue, I have spent over 15 hours researching and I have finally fixed it.
It was my router, not security settings just a common issue, I have an asus RT-N56U, I have flashed a custom firmware to it and my wifi on android devices is perfect, instant updates from facebook, gmail, whatsapp. A lot of time and testing but i'm glad I finally fixed the issue !
Now to order a nexus 4.......
That does not work. Selecting any of these options does not change and wifi stil off when screen turns off. Happen only on JB but not on ICS. Any fix for that please?

I have a similar issue with my HTC One and I posted it on the General HTC One Q&A forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41259406
I contacted HTC Support a couple times, and these are their suggestions:
1. I understand perfectly how annoying this can be. I ask you to please follow this troubleshooting. Let me assist you. First of all please go to All apps > Settings > Battery or Power, and disable Fast boot. Then, please go to All apps > Settings > Developer options, and enable USB debugging. After doing this, please perform a Cache reset. This process will delete unwanted and temporary files from your phone. It will not mess up your personal files. Just follow the instructions on the attached file. Please keep us up to date with this problem. (Tried, no difference)
2. To start, we can try to boot the phone into safe mode to see if there is any difference. To start, press and hold the power button until the power menu comes up. Then press and hold on the Power off option and a popup will appear with the option to reboot into safe mode. From there, test the Wi-Fi for a day or so to see if the issue continues. You can exit safe mode by rebooting the phone normally. (I didn't try this, but instead I did a factory reset, no difference)
3. Go to Wifi Frequency Band and select 2.4GHz (I am trying this now)
Alaris, I hope this second setting you mentioned is the one I am looking for to prevent this. Will test it out tonight.
