I've had my SGS4G for about a month now and, until recently, it seemed reliable in connecting to wifi networks, both open and WPA2/PSK. Recently, it has started to not be able to connect when "turning on" the wifi, generally through the pull-down from the status bar, or through WiFi Widget. Going to the Settings > Wireless and network > Wi-Fi settings page shows, when it had failed, "Error" under the "Wi-Fi" heading. Generally, if I try to turn it on from there, it will "try" for a while and usually result in "error" again. Sometimes returning to the home screen (Go Launcher, in my case) and trying again will result in a connection, but not consistently.
Stock kernel, firmware, etc.
Looking at the logs, it appears that the kernel module is not loading. For example
as opposed to a "good" load
Removing WiFi Widget (com.rb.wifiwidget) has not resolved the situation.
Is this something that anyone else has run into?
Amusing update -- For a brief while, I was seeing both the WiFi and 4G emblems in the status bar.
I'm trying removing mirin browser, which has a wifi-state listener (who knows why) and will try killing DriveSmart if the problem persists.
