Help wifi problems after 4.24.651.1 ?

[jj14x]

Hi,
I have a unrooted EVO 4G that used to connect perfectly well to my wifi at home (802.11g) - even after the 2.3.3 update a few weeks ago.

I installed the latest OTA maintenance update (4.24.651.1) today and now, after I put the phone in standby (press the power button), and leave it for about 15-20 minutes, my wifi gets disconnected! The wifi toggle still shows that it is enabled, but when I go to wireless settings, it shows that it is no longer connected. Has anyone else noticed that?

I did restart the phone and also the wireless router, but it didn't resolve this issue. (other devices are connecting fine to this same router)

(Note: I did notice that my wifi sleep policy is currently set to 15 minutes - but I don't remember what it was earlier - I never changed it from the default)

I had the same thing happen...so I looked and the wifi sleep was enabled for 15 minutes. (I didn't change it). I changed it to never and things seem to be working fine now.

Try that.

I did the same last night - and yes, it worked too! Thanks
Do you recall if the default (before this last update) was "never"? or was it 15 minutes?

on 2.2, the default is 15 min

on 2.2, the default is 15 min

I wonder why I didn't have this issue on 2.2 then... very odd...
