Keeping WiFi on

[PocketAces21]

It seems that when the iPhone's WiFi is turned on and the screen shuts off, the WiFi does too. When I first jailbroke my Phone, I found this incredibly annoying, because the SSH connection would keep breaking every 60 secs unless I touched the phone every once in a while. Is there an app, or better yet, an SBSetting plugin, that will keep the screen from locking, or just keep the WiFi connected?

You can set the screen from locking in the normal Settings app.

I was hoping for more of a one-touch solution.

Unfortunately there isn't one. I'm not a fan that it drops an active connection either, but alas I have learned to live with it.

Insomnia app from Cydia keeps the connection alive. It's an icon toggle. Just click it and it'll keep the connection alive. Click again to turn it off.

Thanks for the tip! I thought something like this had to exist, just wasn't sure what the name would be.

Now if only that could be a toggle in SBSettings, that would be great.

Put it in the SBSettings dock . Although it's a few more clicks than a toggle.

That's where I put it!
