I have noticed on the Bionic (HTC Tbolt) does not do this...
When you have in in airplane mode and using wireless only it will connect fine and run with no problem, but if you let it goto standby and the screen goes off it drops the wireless connection. This may be the same issue people have with a 3G or 4G network.
I do have the battery saver all off and I have it ti have data always on.
What gives?
If you are wireless being wifi there is a setting in wireless networks allows you to turn that setting off where it won't go into standby when screen goes off

Yes, but the setting you're looking for is buried behind the menu key and not easy to find. From the Home screen press:
Menu -> Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi settings -> Menu -> Advanced -> Wi-Fi sleep policy -> Never

When I am at home my Diamond always uses/turns on the Gprs and uses that rather than my Wi-fi connection.
I have changed all the settings and even turned data connections off but it still does it.
Anyone have a way to permanently turn it off ?
Thanks

have a look at modaco "no data" :
http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility/
To disable it without extra software I do the following:
Go to Start-> Settings -> Connections.
Open the 'Connections' icon.
Go to Advanced and then 'Select Networks'
For both dropdown boxes click 'New...' and fill in some bogus name and phone number and click OK.
hi there,
if anyone know how to turn on and off the 3g network in froyo with galaxy s.
regards,
try holding the power button down. There should be a option to turn it on/off right above power off.
Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile networks -> Change network mode to GSM only.
That will only use EDGE.
To turn off all connections hold the power button and hit "Data network mode"
okok thanks bro
Widget for turning off 3G and limiting to 2G or EDGE in AT&T
Loaded "Quick Settings" from the Market. Fixed one of my problems with the notification ringer volume setting itself down. Like the app and interface.
BUTTTTTT on the turning off 3G it does not work... sent the following email to the Quick Settings bunch... it bounced back... anyone know how to get hold of them???? following is the email and description of the problems. Anyone else know an answer for a Galaxy S phone... particularly a Captivate?

How to prevent wifi from sleeping?
I have a few apps that have the permission of "prevent phone from sleeping" but seems the phone will still switch off the wifi soon after the screen timed out. Is it supposed to work like this, or is there some settings for this?
one of the apps i tried is "wireless file transfer lite", which by the way, is a very light wifi transfer tool between phone and pc
Wifi settings > menu button, advanced > Wifi sleep policy.
ha! didn't know there is advanced setting.
many thanks!

Do you mean this one?
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Wi-Fi -> 3 dots or the right top corner -> Settings -> Wi-Fi+
