Question about Chat Clients?

Hey Guys,

I really want to buy the Lumia 920 and replace my 900, but I have a question that's sort of keeping me from doing so and I've searched and searched tirelessly. Maybe you guys can help!

My one complaint about Windows Phone is that situation with chat clients. I don't know why it is, but any chat client I install I cannot get to truly run in the background. I need to be connected to Jabber basically all the time when I'm not at my desk and IM+ instantly signs out when the screen locks or turns off. When I unlock the screen, there's a good 10 second delay while IM+ signs back on. All Jabber-compatible chat clients have performed this way for me.

So, my question is this: on Windows 8 has the situation improved? Can a chat client fully run in the background without being disconnected like on 7.5? This information would be invaluable for me, so if anyone knows I would love to hear your opinion.

Thanks a ton,

-Collin-
