Yes it would. When I'm at home I plug in my Trinity into the charger, which makes it stay on. I have the phone set to stay on while charging. This way I can have my wifi connected continuously and save on my 3G data usage.
I think when in standby the phone doesn't connect to data, it wakes itself up does the email check etc., then goes back into standby according to your power standby settings.
I've noticed that when using Wififofum, it still detects new wifi access points even when it's in standby.I don't know if it's really in standby, but at least the screen is off and i need to press Power button to see what it has found.
quite possibly a silly question
Is there a way to keep it from disconnecting when the phone goes to sleep?
Because if i want to keep bejive on, when i wake up the phone it tries to connect through 3G...
oh and.. in a related matter, is there something i can do so it asks me if i want to connect to 3G, instead of just connecting automatically?

get schaps advanced configuration tool link
in the tool click menu>more settings>connections>Enable wifi on standby mode.
click ok > done. reboot the device. that's it.
wifi remains active when the phone goes in standby.
(when the phone is set to blank screen mode wifi turns off anyway. this seems not to be configurable.)
I think is easier to unthick to turn off screen....Or to dimm light after few second unthick both battery proprties advanced,....
Hope you get it
Was wondering if its possible to keep the wireless still turned on when the phone goes to standby. As in 3G is always on, thus always giving me new emails
Hmm #33 may be able to help you?

Easy....
Download Shap's Advanced Config Tool. There is an option to keep the Wifi on even when the phone goes on standby.
Once Advanced Config Tool installed, launch it, go to Menu/More settings/connections/Enable Wifi on Standby.
also I would recommand you to download a basic freeware named ScreenOff (by Applied PDA software), and use it to turn off the backlight without turning off the Wifi.
I've always having trouble to maintain the WiFi connection whether it's using battery or AC.
I've installed the Advanced Config Tool, the "Enable WiFi on Standby" indicated already enabled. Then I used the ScreenOff. After about 10 seconds, the WiFi connection was lost as I verified it by pinging the HD2 from a PC. It's plug into AC all the time.
However if leave the HD2 just "dim the screen", that seems to be the only way to maintain the WiFi. Obviously set it not to go into standby after 30mins (the default value).
Are you able to maintain the WiFi on HD2?
Yes. No problem here.
when you go into wifi advanced settings you can select power mode. when you set power mode in the medium setting, wifi keeps connected even in standby! and it also doesn't drain your battery while in standby. just try it. first select high power mode and turn phone in standby. wifi connection is lost. when you turn it back in, you will see wifi connecting.
with power in the middle setting, turning phone in standby keeps wifi alive, with very low power consumption. and when you turn phone back on, you will see that wifi is already connected.
i use wifi all the time when at home. my data connection is turned off. and still my push mails are recei ing through wifi!
Not that easy, I tried all power modes and in all occations it whent of after 1 minute (ping timeout). Weird that all roms behave so differently
Speaking of pinging your HD2... when your wifi is enabled and IDLE, what ping results do you get?
My HD2 acts very strange. when my wifi connectivity is on & IDLE (no data activity, device is not in standby mode), my ping results vary from 50ms in average to 200+ and sometimes I'm experiencing even higher spikes of 500ms+.
I have tried to change the wifi's adapter power scheme to "best performance", but it doesn't seem to change something.
However, as long as there is an activity, my ping replies from the HD2 seem to be fine (less than 15/10ms).

seems like some powersaving feature... when idle, why should the wifi chip work at top speed.. just like cpu scaling....
my power saving slider is in the middle and still when the screen goes off and I switch it back on the wifi is reconnecting.

Have you done the ping test from another PC/laptop on your network? Wait for about 1 minute after the screen is off and if you still can ping your HD2, I think it's probably your push mail somehow manage to maintain the wifi connection. I might try that if that's the case as I've tried absolutely everything else and so far abosolutely nothing can keep the wifi constantly on if the screen goes off.
i can still ping it after a few minutes... what you say about push mail and keeping wifi on makes sense... first thing i do when configuring my phone after fresh install is setting up my push mail... maybe that's why my wifi is always on.
You could set up a free gmail push account?
I'm not sure if my problem is related at all but my wifi only seems to connect to my router when it's diconnected from my PC. I'm sure before I upgraded to 1.48 ROM it stayed connected. Any idea guys?
oh, and I've only ever had it in the middle power saving mode and it looks like it does disconnect when it goes into standy.

I've set up gmail account as well nut as far as I know it's just IMAP or correct meif I'm wrong. if It's not push mail, it'll still kinda polling isn't it? what's your view?

Good news guys, I've finally managed to get the WiFi to stay on even after the screen is off. Yes the trick is the "push mail". I deleted my original gmail imap account and set up a Microsoft Push Mail based Gmail account. Then did the ping test and it's staying on for sure now. But I did notice that it'll have 1 packet drop occasionally.
wifi disconnecting in standby
my hd2 stayed connected to wifi in standby, then i applied a few tweaks and .cabs, i had a few little issues like the screen freexing and not refreshing so i did a hard reset, since then wifi wont stay connacted when the phone is on standby, it is confusing
Hi I found a solution. Just install this cab. No soft reset needed

Sorry, this does not work.. Goes away after a soft reset
Is there a way to enable the wi-fi to stay on after the device has turned it's self off after not being used for x amount of time?
i.e. I am running wmtorrent and would like it to continue to download with the backlight off.

If you want to keep the wifi on when you're in standby mode, use WifiNoStandby, in my sig.
I have noticed this frequently. When the phone is in idle state, all data connection (wifi or mobile date) goes to sleep. It's only after i turn screen on or go to lock screen that the connection gets back. So much so that even google reminders don't come through in idle state. This is extreemely frustrating. I haven't even put the phone on any power saving mode. Even the wifi settings don't show any options to keep the connection always alive even if screen is off. Defeats the purpose of having a smart phone. Does any one have any solutions?
Asus sucks at network
Not sure if happened with mine also but if i turn off the screen when using youtube and turn it on then the app shows "no internet connection" for a moment and gets back to normal
are u using any custom rom / kernel
