I have a question regarding Wifi. Does the Wifi disconnect if the phone is put into sleep mode??
Mine disconnects until I turn it back on. Afterwards, it goes and connects to the Wifi network again. Is this normal?

Yes, that's normal!
My wifi is stuck on - I click turn off wifi in connections, and nothing happens, just the whirly progress thingy for a few seconds, but the wifi does not turn off. I also can't see the list of available wireless networks in the sense UI, only if I go to the old WM wifi app, but I can't turn off wifi from here either. Any ideas??
turn the phone into plane mode and then turn it back off.
Still not able to turn off wifi
OK, so I go into plane mode, everything turns off EXCEPT wifi is greyed but still ON! Can't select it to turn it off. Then go to settings, all settings, wifi - "turn on wifi" is ticked. I untick it, but wifi does not turn off after I click ok. Go back in and it is still ticked - so unticking it had no effect!
Something to do with Wifi Monster?
I installed Wifi Monster, which did not work, prior to this problem. My wireless card was not detected, so I uninstalled it. Since then, I have not been able to turn wifi off. Is this a coincidence?
How is this setting supposed to work? I though it did just what it says, turning off the wifi (under wifi sleep policy) when screen is off, but it seems that wifi is on all the time...
I think it will be Off when it is not connected to anything.
since we have root for our phones can someone tell me what to change to have wifi calling on all the time not just when we have low signal?
Just for those who might not know: even without root, you can always force WiFi calling by (1) turning on Airplane Mode (which turns off WiFi if it's on); (2) turning WiFi back on, leaving Airplane Mode on (you can also re-enable BT and NFC). Then you've got WiFi calling.
But it would be more convenient to have WiFi calling stay turned on without needing Airplane Mode. I don't know if/how rooting lets you do that.

Thanks. I know this already. You know what i'm looking for. I hope someone will have answer.
this has been very vexing mainly because I don't know how to craft the google-fu to get beyond "no wifi in air plane mode".
Basically, when you turn on airplane mode it disables wifi. You can then enable it an all is good. However, for me it appears that when you disconnect from a wifi network in airplane mode the wifi network can no longer be connected. Once you turn airplane mode the wifi network comes back up but if you enable it the wifi network is gone. Other wifi networks are still there in both modes but just not the one you forgot.
Using wifi analyzer the wifi network is still being detected by the phone but the phone won't connect.
Any thoughts on how to solve this one?
For future readers it appears that if you run into this issue you can turn off airplane mode connect and then turn airplane mode on again and it will work. Sometimes. This is my solution until I can figure out what the heck is actually happening.
