Yeah, well, it might not have been on my primary home screen page.

IMHO, the SwitchPreference where tapping on the preference *also*
launches a nested PreferenceScreen is lousy UX. I keep forgetting
there are options under the WiFi one, until I'm trying to connect to
some new AP and then eventually stumble upon it. And, of course,
buried inside of there are the advanced settings.
FWIW, the Galaxy Nexus default seems to be always-on -- I toggled mine
back to only-when-plugged-in.

Ah, OK, that's what I was looking for.

Well, the decision on whether to use a WifiLock would be based in part
on WIFI_SLEEP_POLICY -- if WIFI_SLEEP_POLICY is
WIFI_SLEEP_POLICY_NEVER, you do not need the WifiLock. That was the
point behind your original post on this thread IIRC.
Many thanks!
