It seems Financial war got himself banned, but his circumstance of using Folder Sync might be perfect for using Tasker. Tasker supports a number of 3rd party plug-ins, specifically including FolderSync. He might create a timed profile to force wifi on and launch a Folder Sync job. Others might create a profile to continuously force wifi on if turned off when certain apps are open, yet force it off for others to further improve battery savings beyond what the system provides out of the box. I used Tasker on my root NOOK Simple Touch for exactly this reason.
For those seeing cell usage eating battery, this was an issue on the NST too. Disappointing to see it on a T68 with a newer version of Android, but perhaps the old fix will work. Turn Airplane mode on, then turn wifi off. The system should cease trying to use any radios but wifi. Here again, Tasker can provide very granular control over radio settings.

Creating a profile to turn wifi on when it turned itself off would have used a ton of battery for me. I would want it on to sync reading positions so that would be most of the time. It would have been nice to have it stay on when I was in the Google play store too.
