View Full Version : WiFi fails to reconnect

I have a Tilt with the stock AT&T ROM and HardSPL. I keep the HSDPA data on all the time and connect to my wireless access point while at home.

I understand and am fine with wifi disconnecting in sleep mode - email still checks using HSDPA. What normally happens is when I power the Tilt back from sleep the WiFi connects back to my access point.

I've noticed more than a few times however that coming out of sleep WiFi doesn't even attempt to reconnect to the access point. It is on in Comm Manager and appears to be associated with my AP, but checking the IP online shows an AT&T IP addr, not my CATV provider.

The only way to get back on WiFi is to shut off the phone (or reset). I don't want to keep WiFi on while in standby, I just want it to reconnect when it should.

Has anyone seen this behaviour?

Cheers,
Todd

I had a problem where suddenly after months of use with my home wifi router, it suddenly would not connect with the router anymore. Would show that it was trying to connect, and then would suddenly not connect and try another router on the list.
I tried reseting and everything. Tried re-entering the password for my router as I thought that was the problem. finally the only fix i found to work was to actually delete the access point from the phone... then reset and then let it find it all over again from scratch. And miraculously that time it worked.
I know this is not exactly your problem, but hope it helps.

I will try that and see what happens. It seems whatever sub-routine that turns the wifi on isn't running at times and doesn't even attempt to search.
