It may be your DNS settings and or your APN settings or you may need to adjust your router settins.
How can I check this ? Router is ok, my Desire HD does not have this issue ....

APN: settings/wireless networks/mobile networks/access point names; (make sure it's enabled) click on it to see settings. Click on my thumbnail, the pic below my stats, to see my APN settings.
I don't know it you're on TMOUS, T-mobile US, but that's what my settings are fore. If you are on another network, search XDA.
DNS: using root explorer; system/build.prop: scroll down until you see the settings like in my thumbnail, and change. Make sure to save changes on both APN and DNS.
I have the same problem with wifi not staying on. Had to turn it off and back on.
I am not using data connection and running wifi in flight mode and still have the issue. Not sure if there is something else going on...

Currently all the kernels having same issue (ASAIK), I pointed this to Hastarin long back and he confirmed this as a bug but not there is no fix yet. I noticed that if your phone is charging then wifi stays on but if it is not charging and not used for a long time (let say 30 min) then wifi will be disconnected automatically
as a work around I am now using wiSyncPlus ($3.99) app which you can schedule to turn the wifi on/off
Thanks,

What's the connection? You are talking about mobile data while OP is talking about wi fi.

It sounds like you mean that wifi will disconnect after a long idle time. That is fine, as long as the phone can reconnect automatically next time it wakes up. My problem is that wifi appears to be connected, but there is no access. DNS and all things are good, and when wifi is first connected, it always worked and fast, but after some time using the phone (not even idling), the wifi connection will become problematic. I might switch to a different router to see if that helps.

When your using your wifi, does it say, "operation timed out"? Mine is doing the same thing. Only happens with cm6, and stock froyo builds. Sense builds it does not.
Any decent solution at the moment with a new ROM or kernel ?

With my router running DD-WRT, I was able to change one setting:
In Administration menu, change 802.11x to Disable and it seems to resolve the wifi problem for me. As always, check your wifi setting. This is a bug in the Android kernel and surprisingly not fixed yet after a long while...

Someone with the solution for this ?
The solution for me was really quite easy.
Simply instruct your phone's wifi to never sleep. The problem seems to be when it wakes up, it doesn't really wake up. To set to never sleep, try this:
Go to settings, wireless and networks, wifi settings... click on the windows key (menu), select advance, and then click on wifi sleep policy. Select never. Then back out to home screen. Try that and see if it helps. If so, throw some thanks via meter.

Thank you for the reply ... but I already tried this with no luck ....
I'm trying to find out where my phone stores Wi-Fi networks that I've added. When I turn Wi-Fi on, my Wi-Fi Settings stops responding and I can't do anything on that screen.
If it matters, I'm running CyanogenMod 7.0.0 and faux123's low-voltage kernel version 2.4.8.

i cannot answer your question to where the information is stored... but the only way i've got wi-fi settings to stick is to input the password for the SSID then when it disconnects turn off mobile data then reboot. The phone should connect to the Wi-fi and it will continue to.. a bit a trouble but it's a work around.

Actually, what I want to do is remove some networks that I've previously added manually. I think it's trying to connect to them, which is not possible because those networks were ones I was using while traveling.

Is there any way to keep Wifi enabled on 3.1 when the device sleeps? I have tried a wifi app from the market, but wifi is always completely disabled after like a half hour. I have to open my settings and reenable it. Only happened when I went to the official update from Moto.
Did you set wifi policy to never sleep?

Setting-> Wireless and Networks -> Wifi Sleep Policy
What is it stated there? Is it Always On while you still having this problem?
It's set to Never Sleep. Checked, unchecked, checked again.

Is it pure stock wifi xoom? what customization you have done on it ?
Just root after the official update. I'm going to try the new kernel.
I found my wifi connection to be much more stable with the Tiamat ROMs.
I'm looking for app, which can turn off data, when connection to know wifi spot is made and from the other side, when there is no known wifi spots, turn data /3g back on.
I know, that if both wifi and data is on, phone use wifi, if there is known spot, but don't phisicaly turn off data connection automaticly.
I tried SmartConnectivity, Smart Wifi toggler, but it's not working, as I want.
Try "Tasker"

good app. doesn't use location services but instead remembers cell towers (like y5 which doesnt work anymore with 4.2+) so good on battery.

Qualcomm's battery guru does this there's a learning period but after that it should perform in the manner you're describing
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
maybe in a few years that app will get somewhere. as it is, google location based wifi switchers aren't a good idea, unless you're using location services 24/7 anyway (latitude, gnow, etc).
I use wi-fi matic + macrodroid. When I come home, wi-fi matic detects the cell tower I'm connected to and switched on wifi. Once connected, macrodroid switches airplane mode on, and sipdroid connects to my sip provider. Once I leave and lose the wifi connection, macrodroid disables airplane mode. Then wi-fi matic sees that I left my area and switches off wifi. Totally automated
agreed... I don't use it myself(I'm a self-switcher) but I did install when it first came out and found it behaves like the op desires

Mobile data is automatically switched off when WiFi is connected.
No need to disable it manually.

That's not true. If U look in Settings-Data usage Mobile data is still ON. Of coures it's not used, because wifi have prioritiy, but data is ON anyway.
For 2 days I was switch off it data/wifi manually and battery life is better.

Okay here is .prf i just created put it in your tasker folder(auto-import).
It works perfect.
Open tasker and import it.
On any WiFi you connect(you can change that by pressing green arrow and add your know WiFis if you would like) it disables Mobile Data(You cant receive MMS if Mobile data is off) on WiFi you connect and when you lose your connection whit WiFi it disables WiFi and kicks in Mobile Data On so you dont need to worry to disable WiFi it does automatically.
ENJOY!
If it works thank me.

Yes, but service is ON, look in Settings-Data Usage: Mobile data=ON And that service is using battery...I'm not the first one, who found that "problem".
But it's not used, that's true.
Anyway, I found a solution with Wi-FI matic and Wifi/3g switch, not it's working like I want.
So thanks for help.

Llama (just search the Play store for it, I can't post the link...) seems to be a good single app location aware solution. The first play store review pretty much says it all "More flexible than Atooma, but not brain-melting like Tasker. Just makes using your phone easier, and more helpful."
I've been struggling with Tasker for several days trying to get it to do the same thing (toggle wifi and mobile data settings automatically based on my location). I had Llama set up and working beautifully in maybe an hour and a half, which included the time to read the devs instructions and FAQ (click "View Developer's Website from the Play store).
It uses cell towers to determine your location, so there is no battery hit, or you can optionally enable wifi polling or GPS for more accurate locating. It can also perform actions based on when your wifi changes state (connects or disconnects) regardless of your location. And since it's "Tasker-like" it can perform a lot more than just handling your data connections: adjust volumes or screen brightness, launch/kill apps, even shut off or reboot the phone (only if rooted). For example, mine is set up to remove my lockscreen password when I am home and re-enable it when I leave the area of my home wifi and it was fast and simple to get configured.

Wow, great!
I'll try and report...
But I think there is one thing missing what Wi-FI matic do. Wi-FI matic activate WIFI based on cell towers.
With this Tasker script you have to turn on WiFi by yourself, is that correct?
Than script turns off data and turn it back ON, when you lose connection. But than again, when wifi is presented, you have to turn it on by yourself...
I think, this script is doing something similar as this app

Hi,
My nexus 4 is rooted with Carbon ROM 4.3 and Franco kernel. When the phone sleeps it pauses the downloads when I am connected to wifi. In the wifi advanced settings I have the "keep wifi on during sleep" setting set to always. I'm not sure why this is happening. Anyone have any ideas to troubleshoot?
Thanks

This is the default behavior of Android. I know some kernels have tweaks to prevent Wi-Fi from sleeping,I don't know for this device though.

Looks like I need to turn off Wifi optimization in settings.
Nexus7
Have you tried unticking WiFi optimisation?
You may have to reconnect after changing the setting.
I may try that.
Nexus7
Also uncheck "Avoid poor connections", because it will disconnect from the wifi if the signal goes lower than a certain range.
