Anyone know why every morning my wifi isn't connected, and I have to toggle it off/on to get it to reconnect?
I'm using stock radio and cm7 nightly 205 (just did full wipe, etc.), but it also had been happening on royal ginger 2 (default kernels for each). It doesn't seem to be a problem on my wife's stock mt4g.
I would check your WiFi sleep policy.. make sure its set to Never..I think it disconnect because no data transfer rate is going on.. go to WiFi.. press menu..advance look at the WiFi sleep policy set it to never..

I should have specified that too - I did confirm on both roms that my wifi sleep policy had been set to never. Other ideas?
Am not sure.. and you said you already factory reset your phone.. I was going to say try the app "keep WiFi alive." If that doesn't work then something else ain't right.

Didn't see any posts on this, I'm sure someone will be more than happy to call me an idiot and post a link though.
Whenever I leave my phone dormant, like screen off for awhile, say a half hour or so and I come back to pick it up it's switched off wifi and gone back to mobile data. I have to disable and reenable wifi to pick up the signal again. I know about the setting in Menu>Settings>Wireless & Network Settings>Wi-Fi settings>Menu>Advanced>Wi-Fi sleep policy, but I have it set to never. It still disconnects itself. It's as simple as turning off wifi from the widget and reenabling it, but it's starting to drive me insane doing it all the time. You guys have a fix? A setting I'm missing somewhere?
Might be a bug.. try using the WiFi Keep Alive app in Market, its meant for scenarios like yours..
I use WIFI Lock from the market and it works great.... Give it a try.
or do this to keep it on without an app download
menu > settings > wireless&networks > wifi settings > Menu > advanced
then change the wifi sleep policy to never.
I had this problem on my G1 for a while until my wife picked one up that did the same thing. I tried numerous ROMs trying to fix it. It ended up being my router settings. I don't remember what it was as that was over a year ago but maybe look there.

I've already done this, said so in my post, but thanks for suggesting.
I'll check out those apps, thanks again.

Wifi keep alive doesn't seem to work for me, and that other one doesn't seem to do anything but set the sleep policy to never, which it already is.

I am having this problem, too. I have tried it on several routers, but it always disconnects when the phone is sleeping. I have the WiFi sleep set to "never," and I am running CM 6.1. It drives me crazy. In a similar thread for the N1, there was a Broadcom driver problem in the AOSP kernel. It might be something similar here, too.
Im on the Desire Z and I too have the same problem. It's quite annoying. The "Never" disconnect option is chosen and it still wont stay connected.
Well, after having no wifi issues with the stock rom I am now having this issue with CM6. On my G1, I was able to adjust router settings and fix this but I am unable to find a fix on the G2.
I have wiped and reflashed. It does it whether I am on a fresh install and no apps restored or fully restored after wipe. I have messed with my router. I have messed with my phone settings. I have tried market apps. I even went back to stock and had no issues but as soon as I install CM, wifi sleep policy turns to poo. I really dont want to go through this again like I did with the G1. It took me months to finally fix it on the G1. I would rather go back to stock than go through this again.
I am begging anyone who may know how to fix this to give us some insight. I love CM6 but the margin between it and stock is not enough for me to have to restart wifi because I looked away from the phone for a minute and when coming out of sleep my wifi is gone.
Hi there, just curious if there is a setting to keep the wireless connection active while the device is in standby.
When was running CM7 my wifi stayed active even in standby or sleep, but now on Cyclonic it seems to drop the wifi connection if it stays in standby long enough. The wifi stays enabled in the settings, but upon unlocking my shift, i have to reconnect to the wifi almost everytime. Didnt need to with CM7.
Do you think its to do with the difference in software, or...?
Also, how do you rename your Shift something other than the PG06100?

Setting>Wireless & Networks>WiFi Settings>Click Menu>Advanced.
Then you have to click "never" in WiFi sleep policy.
And could you clarify on your second question?
Change it for your signature? Or as in your notification bar as your carrier label?
Shifted from my EVO.
Ok, so that was ridiculously easy...
As for the second question, see down there how mine says "sent from..." and yours says something different? Is everyones that is different just editing the text, or is there something that changes it?

You have to go to your xda settings and you can customize your signature from there.
Go into the xda app. Click on menu. And then settings. You should see it from there.

Thanks again, I should have known it would be something that I should have known...

I have done a little looking around and came up with nothing so I thought I would post. Where are the sleep settings in CM7 for the wifi? I haven't found anything yet, and the wifi goes off when the screen turns off. Is there anyway I can set it so that wifi stays on all the time? I want to be able to get google talk notifications and email notifications all of the time, without having to wake up the kindle to get them.
in Wi-Fi settings, hit menu than advanced settings. its technically on by default, but it does drop off randomly on occasion

Thanks for the reply. I couldnt find those settings for the life of me. Mine was set to sleep the wifi when screen is off. It was set that way by default. Im going to see how the battery drain is when set to always on.

Last night I installed a few toggle widgets. First for auto rotation then for sound profiles then the Bluetooth one and in the end for Wi-Fi.
However after installing the Wi-Fi widget.. I noticed Wi-Fi would turn itself on without even asking my permission. This I noticed when I woke up today morning and saw an unexpected amount of battery drain. I immediately checked and the Wi-Fi was on. I remember correctly that I had switched it off in night (which comes under my daily habits after hitting the bed). Anyhow I immediately got rid of that widget by uninstalling but issue still persists.
Can anyone suggest anything to stop phone from turning Wi-Fi on itself?
Below is the app and my Wi-Fi's advance settings.

By the way.. I must add.. My phone is totally stock. And I I have had no problems with any of the apps prior to installation of this widget.

Sometimes apps like this can be a little flaky. I have HD widgets that I use to turn on my wifi and it can misbehave also. I have compensated by having a app that turns the wifi off at a particular time of day. You can also set it to turn wifi off when the screen is off. Other than that I would suggest looking for a widget that works better. There is a ton out there.
It was my bad that I downloaded this widget. I don't want to download some app to ''manage'' Wi-Fi setting off. I want to make it how it was prior this widget installation... Turning on and of myself. Is there any way.... Without the help of another app or widget

I think i need to change KEEP WIFI ON DURING SLEEP option to Never.
Can anyone attach a snapshot of his advance settings in wifi option? Like i have attached above
I believe it's the "battery guru" app you have installed... that's primarily what it does, keep you on Wi-Fi as much as possible

Emmmm.. You sure?
Because it started last night after I installed that widget. It "never" happened before that. :s
Can u post ut advance settings page's screenshot? Just need to match settings.
Pretty sure... it was happened to me, I noticed it after the learning mode was completely

So far I think this was the cause.. Snapdragon BatteryGuru.
Go to the settings in BatteryGuru and turn OFF the "Manage Wi-Fi" option. It's been an hour I have turned it off and wifi hasn't turned itself on. Therefore, I believe this option was causing wifi to show up.
I remember a friend of mine turned this option ON (the same day when I installed that wifi toggle). I just realized that after reading QUIETLYloud's post. Thanks a bunch mate.
This will help people in future.
I've seen other people having issues with wifi but haven't read of anyone finding a fix. I'm watching the on/off switch go back and forth as my G2 continues to try and establish a connection. It connects to my router for a second, then disconnects...This has been keeping up all day.
Any suggestions?
Already reset my router. Tried to WPS push button method.

Did that. Nothing. Also tried to connect to the public wifi at work, same problem.
turn off battery saving stuff like switch off wifi when not using
Has anyone have a solution to this?
My G2 did the same thing as the OP says. It will turn itself on and off (about 5 second between each on and offs) but ONLY if the bluetooth is turned OFF. If the bluetooth is ON, no problem whatsoever. I usually left my bluetooth ON because I have a bluetooth headset and I want it to be ready every-time I want to use them. But, this night, when I turn off the bluetooth, the wifi keeps going on and off, and yes, battery drained and no internet connection for me
Please help if anyone have a solution for this. I'm in stock rom (D802) 4.4.2 rooted, with xdabbeb's camera mod, the only "root" apps that I've installed so far. Reboot and full power off is the first thing that I do, still no cure.

Sorry for replying to an old post, but I have exactly the same problem here, only difference is that in my case, charging stoped at 66%. I changed the battery, the charging issue fixed but still have the wifi/bt issue.
I flashed stock kk rom, and 3 custom roms with kk, lp and mm base, nothing..
Thx for any help.
Edit : my phone is a D800
WiFi issue is still there
