Short version: My new Nexus 4 phone exhibited buggy WiFi behavior, consistently putting the WiFi to sleep after the screen was blanked, even after applying the "Always Keep WiFi On" setting.
On one particular Google Code forum, there were already ~400 complaints about this behavior from other Nexus 4 owners. No acknowledgement from Google anywhere in there. I replaced two Nexus 4 phones before receiving a third one with the same problem. Called Google Device Support. Escalated to get a level 2 rep on the line. Was told by the level 2 rep that the "deep sleep" WiFi behavior was a "Feature", not a "Bug". Submitted a bug report via the phone which contained links to three of my previous blog blog posts describing the problem in detail. This guaranteed that the bug report would go directly to the Nexus 4 developers. Within minutes, I saw Google reading the blog posts. The next day Google posted on the Google Code forum acknowledging that they are looking into the problem.
