    I just purchased my iPhone 6+ yesterday, before I upgrade it to 8.1.3 i don't have this issue. After I update I noticed that the Wi-Fi disconnects when the phone is locked/sleeping. It is sometimes intermittent even when i'm using it. How do I fix this? Please help.

    I don't know because I've yet to experience any issues related to Wi-Fi while using my iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.1.3 and I didn't have any Wi-Fi issues before the latest update. You can try any of the following I help resolve the issue:

    1. Reboot your router
    2. Go to Settings - General - Reset and then select "Reset Network Settings".
    3. Change the channel/frequency on your Wi-Fi router/AP.
    4. Restore your device and set it up as new.
    5. Make a Genius Bar appointment with the nearest Apple Store to have them diagnose the problem for you.

    Is there a setting about what will the phone do when you locked it? Because if I lock my phone the wi-fi connectivity turns off

    Wifi isn't really asleep...it's in a 'hot standby' mode... It's not a bug... Its a feature designed to make battery use longer. The phone will use wifi when it needs to when it appears to be asleep.

    Yup. This has been the case since the first iPhone.

    That's not an issue of Wifi going into a hot standby mode. You most likely have an issue with PUSH in general. Even if your Wifi was completely turned off while it was asleep, it doesn't make it an excuse for the phone to not receive notifications when it has full access to cellular data.

    I am having this problem. I have all my email accts set to PUSH, but the email app I find tat I must open the mail app to have emails show-up.

    Because of this I added the GMail app and now the MS Outlook app and don't have the same issues with those apps. Emails come straight through.

    I almost NEVER use my i6's proprietary email app anymore.

    Is your router setup to boot devices after a certain time?
