Hi Guys
I have been using this feature from settings and has been workign great.
I am noticing that that after a few hours, the setting reverts back to "OFF".
I'm not rooted, but is there a way to keep this as on?
Thanks in advance!

Have you recently flash a ROM? If so, then this may be a commonly known side-effect, cause by having the connection setup wizard running in the background. If this is the case, using the comm manager, switch to airplane mode. You may need to restart afterwards but it should just bring up the setup wizard. Just complete the process and your problem should disappear.
Hope this helps
Awesome, worked! Thank you so much!
Everytime I turned the phone off I could see the setup wizard running and I did think it could be that, but couldn't find a way of switching to it.
Thanks again!

No problem mate. Glad you sorted it
Same problem
I Have the same problem but i have not flash any thing.
help..
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
I have an HTC Desire HD
I have changed a setting somewhere (i remember doing it) which switches off wifi when the screen times out. I did it on purpose at the time thinking it would come on again when the screen was unlocked. Wrong!
The problem is I now can't find or remember the exact setting I changed!
Could be powersaving, wifi, screen lock or any other non-obvious setting!
I have tried everything I can think off. At the moment, everytime the screen goes off, so does wifi. Very annoying
I would really appreciate any help

I wasn't aware there was an option for this is froyo! Unless you're referring to the WiFi sleep policy? Try menu > advanced when in WiFi settings but I think this only allows you to determine the time out period, not the condition (ie the screen going off)... however, there are apps that will allow you to do this. Are you sure you haven't installed something that's causing this?
Go to wifi and press menu. Its under advanced settings.
Hi
Thanks for your tips. Found it!!
It wasn't in the Wifi, or screenlock settings (I had looked at everything on those!!)
I remembered that had installed the Battery Booster app and then messed with the Battery Teak settings to turn off wifi on screenlock
Actually a handy app, if you set it up properly, which I hadn't!!
Thanks once again for the prompt
Mark
don't forget after change setting hit menu button again to save the change lol
Hi all. I'm not sure if this has been sorted elsewhere, but I've found some answers, but none seem to be working, or they don't pertain exactly to what's happening here.
Basically, my phone won't connect to any wifi. I've tried at home, work and my mothers's house, but nothing. If I pull down the notification bar and tap the wifi icon nothing happens, and if I go to settings - wifi - and flip the switch from off to on, it just says turning on for ages and then goes back to off.
I even factory reset the phone and wiped the cache and restarted, but the same thing has happened.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
Chris
Change kernel if rooted non rooted go to service centre

Hey friends,
Since a few weeks my WiFi is acting up. Not the connection but when I try to turn it off it keeps turning on and off all by itself as by the hand of a ghost.
When I interrupt the on off loop manually by tapping the switch it will stay on but as soon as I turn it on again it starts Alternating between on and off.
Please see the video https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9a6C2ppGHVGVHhLM0x5R2U3RUE/view?usp=drivesdk
I flashed superman Rom again (clean install) still the same problem.
Thanks for your help
Its the WiFi scanning feature. You can disable it in location settings. on 7.0 its under the "improve accuracy" setting.
Thanks for your response.
I don't have 7.0
It makes no sense that I can't turn off or on the my WiFi
I checked, so want help. As soon as I turn wifi off it will start looping on off on off..

its same on 6.0. just check you location settings
Doesn't look like a feature but a bug of the phone.
I tried it and it worked! Thanks so much for your help.
But it's still strange that it would constantly do that in very short intervals..
