I need to have my wifi stay on after iPhone goes to sleep.
The area I work has zero phone reception but good wifi. I need to be able to get my emails and messages via wifi while I am in this area.
iPhone seem to turn off wifi when it goes to sleep unless its plugged into power. Is there a way to keep my iPhone wifi active all the time without having to plug it in?
iPhone 4, iOS 5
Leave the iPhone connected to a power source, or try turning Auto-Lock to Never at Settings > General > Auto-Lock and don't manully lock the iPhone.

If you don't want to connect to a power source:
Settings > General > Cellular > Cellular Data > OFF
Thanks for the quick reply
I did figure out that leaving it plugged in works but was not aware of the Auto-Lock, so will have to use that when I can't be plugged in.
My old iPhone did not have this issue. I assume it's a way to save on the battery but I am loosing a needed feature. I assume then there is no option to keep wifi active all the time then?
You're welcome.
This has been the same with every iPhone model and iOS version begining with the first - iOS 1.0.
There is no option to keep wi-fi active all the time regardless and there never has been such an option.
