Help TB switches from WiFi to network by itself without warning.

I'll look down and my phone will have bumped off the WiFi and onto the network without me doing anything. Seems like this only happens when the phone is idle. I have WiFi set up at home and where I work to save battery life. I did not have this issue until I just upgraded to GB. Any ideas?
 
what is your wifi sleep policy set to?
menu>settings>wireless and networks>wi-fi settings>menu>advanced settings>wi-fi sleep policy> should be set to Never to save the most battery.

if it is set to this, not sure what to tell you other than to do a factory data reset. which usually fixes problems, and is the first thing any verizon tech. will tell you to do.

Does wifi kick back on after a few seconds?

If so, its part of how android manages wifi in standby to save battery.
