So my Rezound has had issues staying on WiFi since the Verizon ICS update. When I turn it on, it works fine. But once my phone goes to sleep and stays idle for, say, more than 30 minutes, WiFi will not reconnect when it wakes up unless I go into settings, turn it off, then turn it back on again. It does this at work, at home, and on public WiFi networks.

I'm running Verizon's official OTA. Is anyone else's phone having this issue?

I have not seen this behavior on either of my Rezounds, one is running the official ICS and the other the global mode leak. If you go into Settings-WiFi-(Menu)-Advanced, what are your settings for Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep, Best WiFi performance, and Never auto turn on WiFI?

Also, what time of the day is this occurring? The reason I ask is that during the hours of about 12:00pm to 7:00am the phone enters a "special" sleep mode, where WiFi is sort of auto-disabled.

It happens during the day. I don't notice it at night.

As for settings:

  • Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep: never (which I suppose answered my question, so I turned it to always)
  • Best Wi-Fi performance us unchecked
  • Never auto turn on Wi-Fi is unchecked

Try that, the "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" used to default to never, in most ICS ROMs it defaults to Always. Not really a "fix" but might take care of the problem, I tried mine (set to Only when plugged in) and it will turn off the WiFi, but once I wake it up it reconnects immediately.
