It is likely due to music streaming changing from wifi to LTE when the screen goes off...which I did plenty on my iPhone 4 that would stay connected to wifi networks for streaming...
Am I the only one who doesn't think that the Wi-Fi "bug" isn't an issue?
That said, yeah, it's an issue. What if you're on a 250mb data plan, are listening to streaming music via wifi, your phone locks, and you wind up using a significant chunk of your data allotment? Yeah, that'd suck. And sure, you can say, "well, maybe the user should be aware of what the phone is doing and not let it lock," but the reality is that's unrealistic. If I'm out in my garage listening to Slacker Radio while I wax my car, I'm not going to stop what I'm doing to insure my phone hasn't locked and disconnected wifi every 2 minutes or so.

Why? Does every other year phone give you new features every 4 months?

What about if you pause for 30-60 min or so due to a meeting/lunch/etc and then come back and hit play through BT headphones without bringing the screen back on.It shouldn't be. So long as you have an active stream going on wifi, it will (or should) remain connected to wifi even when the screen is off. I stream at least an hour worth of music a day, I am in my third billing week, and am sitting on only 650mb used this month.

Not to mention, any wifi network that uses a captive portal (like how a lot of hotels and public networks make you open a web page to authenticate after connecting) forces you to reauthenticate every time you unlock the screen . If you've ever tried to use a wifi network like that then I don't see how you could possibly think that there is no problem with the way it currently works.Once VPN is added this is definitely an issue. If you are using a VPN/Secure SSL connection and you lose wifi then you have to login again.

I'm not gonna test it during this billing cycle, that's for sure...
Yes, all 0.8% of Android devices too. Heck, 50% are still on 2.3.
yeah, that is a hassle and eliminates a lot of the advantage of having AVRCP. If I really need to stream until the fix it, I will use my old iP4 that I moved to my biz line when I got my 920 for my personal line.I can't comment on this, but I would suspect that it will not reconnect to wifi in this sort of situation. For now, if resuming streaming, I would do a quick unlock and make sure wifi has connected. Supposedly we are getting a "fix" that keeps wifi on at all times, which will be nice.
