Hello,
when I lock my screen and the phone goes in sleep mode I don't receive whatsapp messages anymore. I have to unlock my phone and open whatsapp and go in the chat to receive. It's really annoying.
Does anyone else have this problem or even found a solution?
Thanks!
My settings are:
Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep: Always
Wi-Fi optimisation (Minimise battery usage when Wi-Fi is on) is disabled

It was fine before and it just happened out of the blue?
I have not had this problem.
Have you tried changing your WiFi settings to see if it does anything?
Maybe wipe whatsapp cache?
Not that it'll help your issue, but you definitely want to leave the Wifi Optimization option on. It will absolutely devour your battery otherwise.

I had this problem ever since I had the phone. I didn't have this problem with the phone I had before, the HTC Sensation. What do you exactly mean with changing WiFi settings? The settings in my phone or my router?

I disabled it because I thought it maybe was the problem. But your right, now I can switch it on again.

Hey there,
I'm having a weird issue with my stock Nexus S. I've tried a few custom roms, but after realizing that I was better off with stock, I flashed stock again... Now, I've noticed that sometimes, with the WiFi off, I would receive emails and Google+ notifications! It turns out that my wifi is turning on and off, and I don't know how!
I don't have, to my knowledge, installed a program that controls wifi(if you want, I can post my list of apps).
So, what's happening here? Anyone has any idea?
Thanks

You have the same issue? Can you post your list of installed apps? I seriously don't know what's going on!
This may seem really obvious - but have you double-checked that those notifications aren't coming in via your mobile network?
If you have Juice Defender (or something similar) installed, that might also be responsible for switching on your wifi periodically.

Nothing like that... I was just activating my alarm clock for tomorrow and the wifi came on, out of thin air! It shutdown in less than a second, too! And I did absolutely nothing!
Also, I don't have any app like Juice Defender
Ok, so I've flashed the stock rom,locked the bootloader, etc, and I thought I had solved the problem. I didn't, the thing keeps turning on and off!!
I'm seriously thinking about sending it for repairs
you could send it in to samsung or install some newer 2.3.5 kernels which seemed to solve any wifi issues i may have had. Android 2.3.5 made some changes to wifi signal strenght.

I have stock, and it's the regular nexus S, not the 4G one (so I haven't received 2.3.5 yet).
I'll try installing the 2.3.5 kernels and report back
check your advanced wifi settings.
by default they are set to turn wifi off when screen is off. so even if you have wifi on it will turn off when screen is off automatically.
menu>settings>wireless and network settings>wi-fi settings>menu(softkey)>advanced>wifi sleep policy>check the "never" radio button.

I wish it were that simple... I've the wifi sleep policy set to never since I can remember. I only turn on wifi when I need it
I've updated my phone 2 days ago.. and I wish I didn't..
My latest issue.. WiFi disconnecting all the time after just a few minutes.. I've already checked wifi settings and wifi sleep policy.. Anyone has more tips to look at the problem?

I know HTC have smartsync which turns wifi and data off if it is not used
this plays havoc with me at night between 12.00am and 07.00am.

Doesn't that completely prevent your phone from going into deep sleep? Aka drain the battery ridiculously quickly.
I don't understand why HTC can't just get this right. I've never had any other phone that had trouble receiving notifications on Wi-Fi.

Same here. I tried every setting. Just have to restart my router every time before connecting. Annoying but working. And after the update the wifi signal is the worst. Much worst than before.
After updating to 4.04 I have the problem that connecting to my Wifi router is no problem, I get full signal (!), but actually using the network is nearly impossible! After using several apps and/or putting the phone in and out of flight mode, i sometimes regain a real connection, but in the morning or after returning home it's gone again...
The disconnecting in sleep mode and not always receiving messages I can live with, not being able to use Wifi at home and thus being forced to use 3G I can't. Anyone have similar problems and also know a solution? I'll try rebooting the router next time, could be a temporary workaround.
I have the same problem after the 4.0.4 update. Wifi signal is incredibly bad now when I previously did not have any issues.
Tried Best Wi-fi performance and its still not as good as the default settings on 4.0.3.
Anyone has any luck factory resetting their phone to restore Wi-fi functionality?

I have the same or similar issue.
My wifi disconnects every minute, even when the screen is on and when I'm using it. I got a replacement phone from T-Mobile and and replacement antenna cover from HTC but still have the same problem. My previous Nexus S and HD2 had no problems with this the wifi and the wifi disconnects on all networks I've tried so far so it doesn't seem like an issue with my router.
I tried a network monitoring app and the wifi disconnected over 350 times in 6 hours.
I am going to try this: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-work-around-wifi-disconnection-issues-htc-one-x-and-one-s

My WiFi is intermittently disconnecting when my device is asleep. I wake it up and the WiFi is often 'disconnected', but connects automatically once it's awake.
When I wake my phone, there's no WiFi connection and there's a little '?' next to the mobile signal icon - but when I wake it up, the WiFi connects and the '?' on the mobile signal disappeared.
'Keep WiFi on during the sleep' is toggled to 'always', so I really can't understand why it's doing this.
I've had Lollipop for about a month now, but it's only started happening today. I've 'forgot' the network, restarted the device and reconnected, but it's still dropping out when my phone's asleep.
Cheers
Have you installed any power management Apps recently?
goto to settings>WiFi click menu>advanced. check if the option keep WiFi on during sleep is set to always.

Did you manage to find a solution to this?
If rooted, and using Titanium backup, avoid backing up the wifi settings. Just touching the two files with TiB, breaks wifi connectivity.
Search Google on how to actually setup TiB for this.

No I have not. Seems to do it in various roms. Weird.
Are you on the 5.1.1 radio? Mine has been doing this ever since updating. It has done it on stock 5.1.1, CM CAF 12.1, and the M Dev Preview.
Did Anybody fund a solution to this? My Nexus 6 turns WiFi off almost every time the device sleeps. Ive checked and Keep WiFi on is set to ALWAYS

I've been having this issue as well. I've contacted google and they've sent me three replacements. Same issue on all of them.
I thought it could be my router, but this isn't happening to any of my other 8 devices. I also see this problem when I'm on different Wifi in different locations. They're getting a specialist to look into my case now
Me also facing issue, I thought it was the Franco or lean droid app that I use to disable network signal when screen is off
Same issue in Marshmallow
Well ever since i updated to Marshmallow i am facing this on my N5.
First i thought its because defult battery optimization that comes with this. So i removed "Google connectivity service" from optimization but it din't help.
"Keep wifi on during sleep" flag is set to 'always' as you guys..
Can't say bug or feature but its annoying..
Anyone has solutions?

My wifi has been off since i upgraded to M, clean install from the Google images. It still reports my wifi as on and using up my battery....is this a bug or am i reading this incorrectly?

I don't know if this is a setting in marshmallow, but I know in KitKat if you go into the advanced settings menu on the wifi page there is an option that allows the phone to automatically turn on and scan for networks without any user intervention. That setting should be turned off.

You're not alone I'm using mine, but WiFi wasn't on top of the list ever in 5.1.1. Has to be a bug
Ive got this issue as well. Its really annoying. I always keep Wifi off to extend battery life but with M I might as well just keep it on...

huh...mine is set to Always keep wifi on during sleep. Does that matter even if wifi is off?
Since I'm still running kitkat i can't speak for marshmallow, but on KitKat, the wifi on/off toggle takes priority over that setting. Wifi will only stay on during sleep if it was turned on to begin with, but that isn't the issue you guys are experiencing right? There might be an option in that same menu that says something like "let Android search for networks even if wifi turned off". That gives the results you guys are experiencing.
Go to settings-->location-->menu-->scanning and check if WiFi and Bluetooth scanning options are kept on..
I don't have this issue..

Both are checked, i unchecked them both. What were the status of yours?
When I flashed the Factory Image (6.0) I had this problem. I flashed back to 5.1.1 booted the phone. Then booted into recovery and sideloaded the OTA update to 6.0 booted the phone and preformed a factory reset. I do not have this problem anymore. Wifi doesn't even show up in the battery stats.

During initial setup Google asked me if I wanted to keep WiFi scanning enabled to help apps with location to find the location easily.. I declined.. Hence they were off..
Did it help with the battery?

Just an update on battery life. 1.5h SOT no WiFi bug (after sideloading the OTA update) also noticed the battery graph added Camera and Flashlight if they were used
Also discussing the same issue here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/wifi-plaguing-android-marshmallow-t3220031
Try to set it 2.4 Ghz only instead of auto (2.4 +5)
I have just bought the 6gb 128GB version in grey and am really liking it apart from one issue I cannot seem to resolve. When the phone is in standby mode it turns the wifi off. I have no battery optimization apps running, and I have wifi scanning enabled when the phone is in standby.
Does anyone know what can be causing this? It is starting to become very frustrating when I am streaming from Sonos and it cuts out after 3 minutes. I am on 7.1.1 and the phone is unrooted. I have searched but cannot find anything apparent. I have also cleaned the phones cache in recovery, didn't help.
I think I also have this issue. I've set my phone to do some backups to my drobo while I sleep but they never seem to finish. I didn't have this issue on my Galaxy S7.
Did a system restore in recovery. Seems to have sorted it. Must have been some bogus app I installed.
