The usual apologies if there's a thread here on this already. I couldn't find one.
I've tried two KK4 ROMs, and on both my wifi can't be configured to shut off when the phone sleeps. It's a pretty significant battery drain, as you might suspect. I have trouble believing that I'm the only one with this issue. I haven't seen it before on any of the other 2.1-2.2-2.3 ROMs.
I've tried the usual - reflashing the modem. I didn't have the phone plugged in at the times of the flashes. I hear that can cause issues. But the same issue has come up with both Serenity 6 and Legend 2.
Am I missing something simple in the settings?
I have ran a few of the Fasty ROMS on my Cappy and all of them were able to shut off wifi while screen off. I believe its something he did to his ROMs to allow that.
Im not sure if thats a KK4 issue or not I just know it works on his ROMS

It's the first thing I checked. No matter which setting, it acts as if "never" is selected.

I have set it up so that it never sleeps but it still sleeps.
I have searched for info on this issue and have not found any info.
Please point me in the right direction.

It nevers sleeps but it still sleeps? I may be wrong, but that seems contradictory...
What I meant was I went into wifi settings /advanced/wifi sleep policy/and selected Never
Yet it still sleeps

it seems vegan 5 firmware issue?
I used never sleep while plugged in, in wifi settings that seems to work
I'm running Vegan and have problems with my device not coming out of sleep mode (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855821&page=5). I started using "regpon wifi keepAlive" from the market and it worked around my problem although it may be at the expense of battery life. This may also solve your problem.
Hope it helps!

I've also noticed this issue! I'm running stock TnT with Stock Enhancements(though this has been occurring before flashing). I change the settings to "never sleep" or "never sleep when plugged in" and I get the same results. When I bring the thing out of sleep, it always has me disconnected from my Wifi(which can be a headache if you use Pandora or listen to Podcast or want Sports updates when you don't want to waste battery life on the screen). Since it seems some have come across this, it probably is a kernel issue, which surprises me considering there's a recommendation from VIEWSONIC THEMSELVES to set it to never! Why give such unreliable recommendations on your support page of all places?

Don't matter what rom I'm running and what kernel I am using the wifi connection suddenly turns off and then on automatically. I've checked the inactivity politician to never, and that's not the problem.
Does someone have the same problem?

Nope. My WiFi works great. I have the sleep policy set to screen off, turns back on immediately when I wake it up and I never drop it. The only odd thing I have is that sometimes while on WiFi it will pick up a mobile data connection as well. Doesn't interrupt anything its just weird.
Yes, I am. And I think quite a lot of users as well.
The wifi hardware in this Nexus S is ****.
Believe me, try to live with it, it is a hardware issue. Use 3G or invest better / more wifi access point.
I have tried a lot of things but im still with this boring thing .... Any solution???

I am noticing a trend now... Each morning the GPS wont start. I startup maps in the morning, and I get no GPS icon. (AGPS still works) When I turn GPS off, GPS won't turn on again... A reboot is required to fix the problem.
2nd phone now with this issue... starting to wonder if its related to charging all night...
I don't think it is related to charging, randomly my GPS will get stuck, either when I first try to use it, or after it has been in use for a while, the GPS icon just sits there, and it won't lock on, and I have to reboot.
Annoying to reboot when you're driving in an area where you're actually relying on the nav to be working!
I've had this issue too. I really hope they come out with an update soon. Love this phone besides the small nuances.

Weird, I don't have this problem but I do have a problem if I leave my WiFi on all night while it's charging. If I do, in the morning when I take it off the charger, the WiFi icon is gone and my 4G icon just keeps flashing every 5 seconds. It won't stop flashing and my phone will not have data until I reboot. Now I just turn off WiFi before going to bed since it doesn't happen any other time.
The easiest way to fix that is reconnect your wifi then while connected to wifi turn wifi off. Boom.

Did you guys get this GPS issue resolved with the new ROMS? I have the same problem and it doesn't seem to change if I use the stock Froyo or latest CM7.
Reboot and the GPS locks pretty quickly.

My GPS is "better" with the new baseband, but that is a highly relative term. It still takes 5 minutes or more to connect usually. The oddest thing though is when I go into GPS Status, I can see it is locked onto 7 or 8 satellites, but still doesn't have a lock, which is dumb because at least 4 should have a perfect lock. I will NEVER buy another LG phone in my life. Wish I'd have just waited for the Sensation, ugh.

My phone was from Wind Canada which has a baseband from Jun 7, 2011. If I am correct, there is no way I can even try the new T-mobile basedband that came with the GB update. LG updater says my phone is up-to-date, and I have not been able to find on the forums here a flashable file for the new baseband.
We're not sure when the Wind version of the GB update is coming. Hopefully soon, but the phone only launched here about 5 weeks ago.
Any other ideas?
I'm on the skyrocket and I have ran just about every ROM on here at some point and a while back my wifi started acting up randomly. By acting up I mean it would shut off and either attempt to turn on and end up in error or it would turn on after much longer than normal and start scanning but never finding any network then turning wifi back off. I tried all the usual methods of fixing things wipe cache and dalvik reboot, some times would work. Reinstall ROM, kernal, modem...works every time...for a while. Now on ics thought everything was ok then it happened out of no where like always... No wifi. Upgraded to mhx superlite 4.0 and hoping for the best. Thanks in advance

Do you have logging enabled on your router? Seeing any logs that are happening while the router is on/the phone isn't connecting could be useful
I do not but I'll have it ready for next time my wifi stops again could be today could be a week it's very random

Odin CWM?
Hi, I'm facing wifi issues as well. I'm a very new android user. I'm running SKY ICS and it was running great until this morning. I have lost wifi. Nothing has changed with my phone to explain this change in behavior.
Behavior:
Wifi is turned off.
I go in to turn it on, it will show the "turning on..." message in settings and will then show checked. Wi-Fi networks will then show "Scanning" and then wi-fi shuts off.
I had Wefi Pro installed and uninstalled it thinking that app may have caused a problem, but the behavior persists.
I have found Darkside and Odin via search, but can't find Odin CWM. Can someone provide a link? Thanks!

I've noticed that my wifi issues are associated with Juice Defender. It works good for a while then starts acting up. I tweek it. It runs better then acts up. Then I reflash and start over. Need something other than Juice Defender. I suppose I could probably do the same power saving actions with Tasker... but it's more work than I feel like doing.

I use juice defender and never had a problem. Check the wifi settig inside the juice defender profile that's responsible for re trying wifi connection if it fails. That's probably what's set to a high number.
Also, for the OP... Do you have any other wifi devices on your network that behave this way? And do you use juice defender as well?

It was only my phone that acts up my fiancé's phone never has a problem neither do my lap tops but I had found that I could toggle my data, Bluetooth, and GPS on and off a few times and sometimes reboot and wifi would start working again but i'm on a brand new skyrocket now cause I kinda bricked my first one the other day...haven't had a problem with this one yet but I haven't even rooted it yet either so we will see how it goes later on

So I flashed synergy today and so far everything is great except the fact that the wifi notifications are still present. Anyone running this ROM on verizon know how to fix this?
You will get the notification after install. It is supposed to go away after your first reboot.

I rebooted numerous times, still not working.
I don't know then. It worked for me. If it's something you absolutely can't stand wipe and reinstall or just wait for the next update that requires a wipe. Sorry I can't be more help

Ok, this is something I don't understand. I am loving the SynergyROM so far, and the stock ROM wasn't bad either. However, with the stock ROM, with WiFi off, it would still notify me when in range of a remembered network, and suggest connecting automatically. It still does this with the Synergy ROM, despite turning it off in settings or using the notification screen widget.
Is WiFi really OFF if it still somehow knows whenever you're in range of a remembered network?? It blows my mind that you can't really turn some of this crap off despite really wanting to. We have 4G where I live now (finally!!) and it's over FIVE TIMES as fast as any internet I can get at my house. STOP trying to connect to inferior wifi, hahaha!! Never thought I'd be complaining about this, but there you have it.
How do you really shut off the wifi? I couldn't even do it with the phone completely stock and unrooted.
