Do you have the wifi sleep policy set to never?

To change THIS policy, go to settings > Wireless & Networks > WiFi Settings
Go into advanced, and there's the WiFi Policy.

When you are at the page looking at all the available WiFi hotspots, press menu key and the 2 options will show up. The one on the right is to go to advanced menu
Oops, I almost forgot I posted this. But thank you so much, that fixed it!!

Super big thanks, I have never pressed the menu key when looking at the settings.
similar problem
I am having a similar problem, wifi shuts off when the phone ISNT plugged in, and the screen turns off. Tried the fix suggested here, didnt change anything.
What I have noticed is that my old router didnt have this issue, got a newer (and better?) one, and this started.
had this problem with my G2, and now mytouch 4g slide.
any help would be awesome, thanks.

The answer is quite simple. Go to .... Settings, find Wifi, click on the WiFi Settings NOT the On/Off Switch...when you're in that screen click on your phones Menu , Advance , and adjust your WiFi Sleep Policy.
Sorry...its called Keep WiFi on during sleep...

I wanted to keep IM software run in background so I need WiFi keep alive even if the screen is off. I'v set the WiFi policy to "Never" in settings. But it always disconnect when screen is off so my IM software will offline... I don't have this problem before. But today I have tried many Roms such as Bionix's Master's and Trigger, they all have this problem. I don't know why.. please help.
PS: I'v tried to uninstall "Super Power" to see if there are some setting cause it. But it's no help.
Thanks everyone!
Download spare Parts (Some ROMS already have it). In it there is a wifi sleep policy that you can set to "Never" as in "Never go to sleep."
EDIT: Oh, you said you already tried that. Sorry.

Easily accomplished with an app in the Market called Tasker. It's over $6 but worth it to me. There's also Locale, SettingProfiles, etc but Tasker seems more feature-rich and more actively dev'ed.
When I was not rooted I was getting great battery life using Juice Defender, spend the little bit of money to get the Pro version. It will come on at a time you select to search for gmail or MMS as soon as 15m or every hour, it also has a night sch where it never lets the internet connect. You can also block apps from reaching the internet which I did often on App that wanted full internet access (yea right), it will also turn off WiFi after screen off if you select that as well. It has a ton of options and like I said was getting great battery life while lettting it manage my phone. It will also reconnect to the internet as soon as you screen on. So there you go Auto everything.

Your phone can do that by default if you go to wireless settings → press menu button → advanced settings → disable wifi on sleep.

If your connected to WiFi it will use less power than 3g or 4g, its when your not connected and its searching for a connection that it eats up battery. I toggle WiFi on as soon as I'm home or around WiFi and off as soon as I leave.
Thanks guys fir the info I will try that

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.

Sounds like 1) ur power saver is on or 2) smart sync - occurs midnight to 6? I forget but it happens during night time.

Disable smart snyc via custom rom or freeze or remove the app. Here's a quick read

If you do a google search you'll find much more on the software/app

Has anyone noticed when you turn on your screen after a long period of inactivity... It seems like the Wi-Fi reconnects. Is the a Wi-Fi sleep policy or maybe a bug... Or it's just me?

HTC phones have had WiFi issues like you describe in the past where WiFi turns off when screen is off even when you set the policy to always on. I hope the One doesn't have that bug.

If you have Power Saver on, the WiFi will go to sleep after a long period of inactivity...

FYI there are two power saver modes the normal one on your status bar you can check off and on. And there is another for network connections under the battery options in settings.

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.
Hi, I noticed that in the advanced wifi settings is a setting for wifi optimisation which says it saves battery.
I am finding that when this setting is on, every time i am on a game i am getting messages says lost connection and my games having to reset or start again, when the setting is off this doesn't happen.
the option does actually seem to save a lot of battery i have found, but its a shame that i keep getting disconnects with it turned on
has anyone else found this?
thanks
James
"advanced wifi settings"?? - Where did you find those? Can't find them on my 4.2.2...
Am also experiencing very poor wifi reception...
