I've encountered a weird issue in every Lollipop ROM that I've tried, where when I got to sleep with WiFi on, I will wake up the next morning and the WiFi will have disconnected. It will still be on, but the network I had connected to not work unless I toggle WiFi off and then back on. It's happened on 3 different ROMs on 3 different builds. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm not sure if this is the issue but have you tried going to your wifi setting-->advanced-->keep Wi-Fi on during sleep and change it to always?

Yeah, I did, thanks but it was already ticked.
You are not alone. I am having the exact same problem. The wifi doesn't disconnect, it just stops working. If i disable wifi and re-enable again it works just fine but only for half an hour ish.
Quite annoying for a whatsapp / fb messenger user .
Considering reverting back to KK backup until this is fixed :'(

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.

Hey out there.
The other day I flashed AOKP JB Build 4 onto my Nexus S (i9023) and after about one day I got very annoying Wi-Fi issues.
The phone drops the connection every few minutes while the Wi-Fi icon stays blue.
I tried Matr1x kernel in the meanwhile which didn't fix the issue.
Yesterday I had enough of it and tried flashing Codename Android 3.6.6.
At first Wi-Fi was working quite good and I got all hope up but today I'm having the same problem again.
I was on Stock 4.1.1 before and I didn't have any issues like this.
Any help is very appreciated.

Did you try go into Wi-Fi settings and uncheck "avoid poor connections"? That helped me commentary somewhat, but my still disconnects from time to time..

Is this when the screen has turned off or while its on?

Both.
It's happening e.g. when I'm watching for a YouTube video. So I gotta disable and enable Wi-Fi to be able to continue watching the video.
But it's also happening when the phone is turned off so that e.g. I don't receive any emails in that time.

I got Wi-Fi Fixer working in the meanwhile and it's just reassociating and reconnecting every minute :/
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?

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?

Same issue for me...

Hi All,
I got the Lollipop 5.1 OTA 2 days ago and installed it - everything went smooth and the phone working fine...
But I noticed that if I reboot my router (or turn it off / on again) the Wifi don't reconnect unless I turn on the screen (the second I turn on the screen the wifi connect normally).
I didn't have this issue with Lollipop 5.0.1
P.S.
I know that this is happening because I have a led on my router telling me if any of my Wifi devices is connected or not. And to make sure I also entered the router settings to see if my phone is connected or not.
Anyone noticed that issue with the new lollipop 5.1 ?
Cheers,
I think that your problem is not switching off the router. The problem is when your phone goes to suspension (screen off) and then it drops the wifi off.
My Nexus 5 with 5.1 is doing the same

I've got some similar behaviour here, both when updated from 5.0, and with a fresh install from the factory images. When I arrive at a place with known WiFi, the phone only connects once I turned on the screen. After that, it stays connected until I move out of range and back again.
It's probably a matter of responsiveness/battery life. The more it polls for networks, the more battery it uses. It should connect, even with the screen off, within a few minutes.
That being said, I have my wifi set to always stay connected, and I've seen it not connected when I turned the screen on, then connect a couple seconds later. So, there's that. Curious how often it does that.

That's what I suspected. Sometimes, the waiting game works, but I've had my N5 lying on my desk – where it usually gets full WiFi bars – for about 40 minutes the other day, still it did not connect until I turned the screen on.
Edit: Just now, my phone disconnected from WiFi when the screen turned off, which leads me to believe that this is all caused by the WiFi sleep policy. Could it be that Google messed up something there?

My "research" has led me to believe this is the case.
Anything in terms of a workaround?
I came across those settings in the developer options (see screenshot), especially the "Always allow WiFi Roam Scans" looked promising. Been playing with them, but so far no luck.
Hi All,
exactly the same issues as yours guys are happening since I received the OTA 5.1 and installed it !
I Guess something messed up with this new update in regard of the wifi... as you mentioned.
If you come across a workaround or a confirmation from "Google" please share.
Cheers,
(With almost everyone nowadays having data ..it is difficult to notice such a behavior due to the fast wifi/data switching)
I have seen this happen as well. My battery graph will even show a missing area for WiFi indicating it turned itself on and off twice within a few hours and then stayed on after that.
Google just now released LMY47I, has anyone had a chance to see if that version fixes our problem? Once I'm off work (in about 8 hours), I'll give it a whirl and report back.

Could you please elaborate on that? I'm familiar with Tasker, but I can't think of a way of dealing with this, since I'm not sure what actually happens with the WiFi. The settings appear untouched.

I'm sorry, but my phone is now in the service center , and press that I do not remember specifically . The idea is that when you disable wifi, a time interval is forced to connect to a particular network . Look presence on the internet , here is full of instructions.

Almost all of the changes on these different builds are SIM related for specific carriers.
LMY47I was only released to LGD821 devices with SIM cards from Indian and Australian carriers
Same problem here. I am slowly losing faith in Google. Get the frickin basics going guys!!!
Back to my 5.0.1 build.
I've gone back to 5.0.1, too. Pity, except for this I was pretty happy with 5.1. Maybe 5.1.1 will actually be usable.
Do you think it can be related to Issue 163350? code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=163350
I have just reported that, but I'm still trying to understand if it just happens to me or what.

I think the solution is "use vibrate mode on". Get your device to vibrate mod and test it.
I am waiting for your feedback.

This trick didn't work.
I have this proble too
If I'm home, chillan out, connected to my home WiFi, sometimes my wifi will just randomly turn itself off.. And then when I'm out (let's say I'm driving around) my WiFi will just randomly turn itself on. I don't get why the hell it does bc it never used to! I have a Sprint S6 and I have connections optimizer deleted (using Titanium Backup) and I have "always allow scanning" OFF and "keep WiFi on during sleep" ON. What gives....?!
Same issue here. It seems to happen only with 5 ghz, not with 2.5.

How can you tell if the WiFi you're on is 2.5/5 ghz??
Router configuration. I use to enable only 5 ghz (faster), but had issues so changed to only 2.5 and seems to work fine now (but it is much slower coping files to pc)
I think the issues you two are describing are different. I think the OP is saying his wifi is being activated (turning on) rather than disconnecting and reconnecting to the network (which is an issue I also have). My wifi will never turn ON or OFF (as if the quick setting has been touched) unless I turn it on or off.
If I'm wrong, then please disregard.

My wifi setting does not turn off/on randomly, however, I have noticed my S6 (920i) seems to randomly forget networks I have logged in to...home/work mostly. There's no option to forget the network, if I touch the network name again I'm immediately prompted for the password.

You are EXACTLY CORRECT... And it is very annoying lol.
Yes, I get the same thing. I try to use Trigger scripts to set my phone the way I like it at work, home, night, etc. Sometimes, I'll turn wifi off, then next thing I know, it's back on. Or vice-versa. There's no setting for it anywhere that I can find.
