In WiFi advanced settings there is an option to keep wifi on while sleeping.

Mine has the same issue, even with it set to stay on during sleep.
I unchecked the wifi optimization to conserve power setting and that solved it. Somewhere on the google boards, there is a bug report on it.
I have the setting 'Keep wi-fi on during sleep' set to Always and have the Wi-fi optimization checked and my wi-fi has been flawless.
Going to try that now thanks

Hey guys, I have a slightly related issue.
My device just won't turn its Wi-Fi off when it goes to sleep! I've tried both the advanced settings of, while plugged in and never, and both are not working add evidenced by the battery graphs.
Any fix or solutions?
- As of now I've taken my device out of its flip case/stand, assuming that the magnet in it has something to do with the Wi-Fi remaining on.

My WiFi works just fine on public or basic password connections. It likes to dissconnect from my schools encrypted network though. I blame cm

Is anyone else having intermittent drops while connected to wifi? I've noticed my wifi drops and reconnects especially when there is heavy wifi usage... I've tried TKIP and AES with no better luck with either one.

last night when i was trying to download an app from marketplace?
Yeah, I've just started noticing that. It wasn't doing it most of yesterday and I was using it pretty heavily. It started last night when I noticed both the 3G and wi-fi icons were on. I restarted wifi and it still showed up like that, so I rebooted. Now it seems like it's always on 3G when I pick it up.
What kind of router are you using?

I used to have this problem regularly with mine and my girl's Droids on 2.1, and appeared to be related to using secured wireless networks. I was able to set up a test wireless network with no security and the disconnects stopped happening. Switch back and 5 to 15 minutes later I was disconnected again. I never found a fix for it on 2.1, but the problem completely went away with 2.2.
Unsure if they're related, but from what people are describing, this sounds exactly like the issues I used to have prior to rooting/2.2 on our Droids.
I noticed that it was with wep encryption only. I looked through wpa and etc and there was less dropage. Now, i don't know if your all aware, the ipad does the same thing. The only place i seen it hold up well was the wpa and the hotspot app on board.
I wonder if this is just the new radios and modems in these devices?

Diego dude, you're running 2.2 on your droid? I wish we could do that on the DX...

OK. Let me start by saying I'm not an expert but I may have found a solution. Go to wi-FI networks and go to wireless settings. Then click on options hard key and choose advanced. then choose Wi-Fi sleep policy and set it to never.
So far so good for me. Let me know if anyone has any luck.

Yeah, I'm still having major issues. My phone will drop WiFi very often. Im going to try unsecured next. I've tried changing from tkip to are, tried turning off the sleep function... nothing. It happens most frequently when I'm doing heavy traffic like from or two another computer, where it maxes out the bandwidth capabilities of the phone...

Have you double checked not only the advanced settings under Wifi for always on, but which battery profile you're running? The default profile is the Smart one, which disables wifi/3g after so many minutes of being idle after peak hours.
i will try this thanks i do use the smart profile
I read several articles and then under wireless security changed the WPA Algorithm to TPIK and have not had a drop or WIFI issue since. Let me know if it resolves your issue.

OK this is really pissing me off. Everyone time I go on my nexus device it doesn't automatically connect to the WiFi.. I have to either disable the WiFi and reenable it. Or just click on my network and click connect (it says its saved but doesn't automatically connect when I turn on my device), i tried everything from forgetting every saved network, restarting me device, ect, and its not my routers problem, my DNA connects automatically when I turn it on. Any of you guys had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it?

what router? My nexus 7 is fine and so is my sgs1.
No idea what router I have but that's not the problem, problem is that when I turn on my nexus and get passed the lockscreen, the WiFi would normaly automatically connect. It for some reason stopped doing that and it gets really annoying manually connecting

Hi,
I share the same problem. Upon a reboot, it will work normally for a while.
Once they symptoms starts, it will refuse to connect most of the time. When it does connect, it will disconnect within a couple of minutes. WPS wont respond either. toggle wifi/airplane mode does not work either.
The only way is to reboot.
However, I did have some findings but couldnt get it fixed! Do this and test if it works for you as well:
Go to terminal (needs to be rooted device):
Simply select the "Take wifilock/B]" option and it will stay connected!
Release it and it will get disconnected and back to the same issue.
Hopefully some experts can give us some pointers?
Temporary fix
I have the same problem. This is what i did to fix it: Settings- Wifi settings- advanced- switch always on to Never, reboot in recovery, clear cache, reboot your device and go back and turn Wifi back to Always on. this is a temporary fix because if you reboot or shutdown your device, you will need to redo the steps. this is a known problem with google's 4.2 jellybean. we need an update soon!
hope it helps you.
Thanks for your help

It won't be much comfort to you, but remember that "it takes two to tango".
Yeah, there's IEEE standards for all of this stuff. Do interop problems still happen? All the frigging time, every day. Sure it is maddening.
And sometimes the problems only manifest themselves with an exact pair of firmware(s) releases between the AP and the client device. I had a WiFi router that would gladly talk to four or five unique types of devices; on the sixth - an Android phone - it would associate & authenticate successfully, but the client device would never get an IP address.
That sure sounds like a problem with the phone, doesn't it?
How did I fix the problem? I upgraded the firmware ... on the router !
Sometimes problems with intermittent connections can be rectified by fooling with things that you might think have no bearing on the problem. For instance, some routers will accept connections in A/B/G/N mode. Do you need all of those? If not, simplify your router's behaviors by disabling non-essential features, e.g. select G-only or N-only.
That's just an example - but the point is that the fewer behaviors either of the devices engage in, the lower the probability that the bug which is shared between them will get expressed.
So, you can either fool around with both devices, only one of them - changing one setting at a time to see if that alters the behavior you observe, or you can throw one device away and start all over with new combinations of devices. The router probably has more knobs which can be turned than the phone does (unless it's not your router, or you don't control it).
Good luck
Just got the phone today (upgraded from a Sensation 4G).
This phone connects to my home WIFI fine.....and then once it sleeps for around 10 minutes and I wake it up, the wifi connection is gray (instead of blue) and I cannot access anything on the internet. I have to disable WIFI on the phone and re-enable it and it's fully functional again.
What's going on? Fully stock, 4.2.2
I do notice the IP it's pulling is a 172.27.35.x.....whereas my network is configured as 192.168.0.x
What's going on here???

When I manually enter in my network settings (rather than DHCP) and set it as a 192.168.0.x value......everything is fine.
What's going on where it's pulling these 172 values? Never had an issue like this. Thanks!!!
Have you unlocked the Developer Options yet? If not, goto Settings -> About Phone then tap build number 10 times to unlock. Enable "Stay Awake" in the Developer Options and connect your phone via your PC. Observe your wifi connection and get back to me
EDIT: How complicated is your home network? Are you using your router as a straight forward access point?

Running DDWRT.....very straightforward. Nothing complicated. I have Kindle Fire HD's......HTPCs.....etc running without an issue. All DHCP. This Nexus 4 is the only thing that has ever had issues.
The thing that I'm not understanding.......why is it being thrown a 172 IP address unless I turn DHCP off on the phone? Cuz as soon as I set it static (to a 192) it works fine.
Hmm DD-WRT, I'm going to hazard at a guess and say you know what you're doing when it comes to networking so I won't insult your intelligence or anything. But, if you're willing, try playing around with your router's DHCP setup before doing anything else and see how your phone goes by trial and error.
Come to think of it, unless anyone on these forums has experienced this before, trial and error is the best way of understanding. My best guess is the issue resides within the code of 4.2.2 FW. Hypothetically and possibly inadvertantly it has already been debugged for use on a custom rom. Some of the apk's found on the app store may shed some light onto the issue. WIFI Fixer apk may be help

Right, so surely it is an issue with the phone, which firmware are you using Roi? If it's 4.2.2, nandroid backup then flash a custom rom of your choice and see what happens with your wifi issue

If you are receiving IP address that's not defined by your router then you are getting it from somewhere else.

Do you have your "keep wifi on during sleep" setting at always? If you've already eliminated that as the issue, try wiping the delvik cache in CWM. I had a similar problem once when I used CM9.1, wiping delvik cache solved it.
If there's no joy, copy and post up a logcat or consider a custom rom like aokp 4.2.2 build 4 :good:
I just recently got a Nexus 4 from Google. Running 4.2.2 stock, all well and good.
There is one feature however which I really dislike and which has potential security and privacy issues to be considered: unless I shut down wifi entirely, my phone will automatically connect to ANY AND ALL open wifi networks it finds, using those in preference to cellular data to try to get on the internet. This is.. entirely suboptimal but I have not found a way to stop it. I disabled 'auto notification of open wifi networks' which did what it said, it doesn't NOTIFY me any more, it just silently connects.
Is there a way to prevent such behaviour without having to turn wifi off all the time?
Thanks!

Forget all remembered networks, and manage how much your Wi-Fi is on. It's a quick tile.

Thank you. I have owned several Android phones, this is the first one that behaves like this. The only thing I'm unclear on is 'manage how much your wifi is on'?
Hey Guys, this issue has been bugging me for quiet some time:
I have been using the Soft Access Point function of windows 7 via my wlan card for a long time and it didn't really give me any problems until recently.
It goes like this:
I activate the network, my phone connects. So far so good. But it keeps dropping out and reconnecting to mobile network all the time. That happened with other devices like my Netbook as well, but never this frequent and only when I wasn't actively using the connection. When I got the nexus 4 it started happening more often. And in the recent days/weeks very frequent. Sometimes only minutes after connecting. Also when the connection is in use, even during VoIP calls.
But I'm not sure whether it's a problem with the phone or the network setup... Any ideas?
Oh yeah, I'm running unrooted stock and the PC is Win 7 ultimate x64
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I forgot to mention: To fix it, I have to disable and then enable the network again. It always shows as still active on the PC but doesn't show on the phone before I do so.
