Foxfi and Power Saving Mode - galaxy s2

hi everyone. i'm having an issue with my galaxy s2 when i use foxfi.

foxfi is a great app, but the problem with the s2 is that it defaults to power-saving mode after only about 5 minutes, even if power-saving mode is disabled. this means, of course, that i lose my wifi every 5 minutes and keep having to reconnect foxfi.

someone please help me with this - how can i disable power-saving mode for good? going to settings -> power saving mode and unchecking 'use power saving mode' does nothing. leaving power saving mode on and only unchecking 'turn off wifi' does nothing. letting the screen timeout last longer does nothing.

no matter what - if foxfi is on, wifi will be disabled because of power saving mode after about 5 minutes.
