Hello xda community,
I have a small problem.
Everytime i turn the screen off my p880 is disconnecting With WiFi. When screen is off, i cant get WhatsApp or facebook notifications because there is no wifi. When i turn screen on again, it connects with wifi automatically, and after 3-5 seconds i get all notifications which i should have get when screen was off.
I have tested this on a lot of wifi 'servers'. Everywhere the same Problem.
My p880 [gsm] is only rooted, nothing flashed or something.
So how can i solve This Problem? Do i have to flash kdz files or what can i do?
Thx for your help

Under the Wi-Fi Settings, make sure that 'Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep' is ticked, just like on every Android device I've ever seen.
If you can't find the settings: On the wifi settings page, press menu button and select the menu.

For those having the constant cycling of the wifi after coming out of sleep or reboot, try this workaround.
Boot or wakeup Nook.
Enable wifi (any method)
Go to Google maps
(don't worry if the map isn't showing yet)
sweep to an area of the map you haven't been before
zoom in several times.....
wait up to 10 seconds....
Hey look the wifi connected and is stable.....
turn off maps...
I have been using this workaround for three weeks now and it works every time and I don't know why this works, but it seems that having an app drawing data seems to break the wifi out of its cycle loop.
PS. I am using this rom...

and this statusbar hack...

Happened to me once. I just turned off wifi, then turned it back on.
I also set wifi not to turn off with the screen. I turn it off manually.
And something I noticed in the last few days is that the wireless is really prone to this problem if you use the advanced settings to toggle wireless off when the screen blanks. I currently have tasker set up to turn off wireless when the screen is off and that doesn't give me any problems. I've been doing this for weeks on the recent cm7 nightlies without a problem

You should've just put that in the title, that you have Nookie Foryo 0.6.8 running Brian's status bar hack.
But thanks for the suggestion. Will give it a go.
There is an app in the market called waketimer that does this also.

I have the wifi cycling issues coming out of sleep with my Froyo Nookie 0.6.8 too.
The work around I found was just to hold the power button until the shutdown menu appears. Do nothing and in about 15-30 seconds I see the wifi connect on the status bar, then I cancel the shutdown menu.
After autonooter3, I'm having the same issue for the first time ever on this device, on rare occasion the wifi won't startup. I downloaded/installed a free app called "Auto WiFi Toggle" and I haven't see the issue surface since.
Could any of you folks let me know if this little app may have solved the problem, or is it just sporatic luck.
Alright, I know some have had an issue with their Wi-Fi sleeping when the screen turns off. There is an easy fix to this issue...
From the home screen press menu the go to settings, from there go to wireless settings and press menu, go to advanced, you will see Wi-Fi sleep policy, change to Never.
Now you will stay connected to Wi-Fi when your screen turns off.

Great find m8. *thumbs up*

I so wish that was the fix I was looking for. My Wifi goes in and out with the screen off, and sometimes even on, DESPITE being Never Sleep. Only since update to 2.2. 1.6 worked fine all the time.
I keep losing the WIFI connection after I stop using the phone. If I close the screen of the phone and I came back after a couple of minutes, I see I am not connected anymore to the network.
Sometimes, the phones reconnects after a couple of seconds and sometimes not even after 10 minutes; it's only saying "connecting".
This an odd behaviour, because the previous phones that I've had didn't display this behaviour, of disconecting when I closed the screen.
It's even odder because I flashed a couple of ROMs and the problem doesn't go away.
Any solutions?
P.S. I hope you undertand what've said.
The WiFi automatically turns off when the screen turns off.
Just go the WiFi settings, press the menu button and go in "advanced".
Then change "Wifi Sleep Policy".
But I don't know why it stays on "Connecting". This only happens to me when the signal is bad or the network makes you use a proxy like with WiFi hotspots.

Hahahaha
I didn't have this problem at the previous phones becaue that option was always to not turn off the wifi when phone goes to sleep.
Thank you Chris.
Every time I try to turn on Wifi, I have to go Settings > Wireless & network > Wifi Settings > Turn On, because the Wifi button in the status bar doesn't not auto connect, even though it turns on (it just keeps searching).
Any ideas to fix this?
I have this same issue on cm 7.2 democracy and I notice that it does take a longer time to coonect thru the power control widget or the status bar. What I do is I wait for about 30 seconds and it connects.

That's quite the same with what happens to me. Sometime it takes long, sometimes it doesn't connect all.
I hope somebody knows how to fix this.
