Anybody have any ideas?

I would go into the Airport setting (Applications >Utilities>Airport Utility) and assign your phone a specific IP address. I am at work today not connected to my airport right now so I don't know the exact steps, but I know you can do this in the settings, I have it done for most of the wireless devices in my household. That might keep the phone from hijacking another IP.

To do this you will need to know the mac address of the phone, it is setting>about phone>status>wifi Mac address in android 4.0x. I am sure it will be the same on the Onex, I will know tomorrow morning when I get home to mine!

Here is a link to the help topic on apple's site. I would assign your phone a number like XXX.XXX.X.5. (the x's are the IP address of the router, the number you are putting in is the number for the "DHCP lease" you will be assigning to your phone). I know there are on screen instructions that walk you through the process. I am not going to be home until tomorrow and then I am all family booked up until tomorrow night. If you don't have it by then I will do a little screen video to show you how to do it.

Good luck.

When my phone is on Airplane Mode and then I eventually turn off Airplane Mode, the phone will not connect to the Rogers Network at all. The phone will stay out of service unless I reboot the phone.

I just tried that. I had no problems connecting to the Rogers network after leaving airplane mode. Thats weird!

It gets a little hot sometimes. But not hot enough to be too concerned.

Great News. Did it work? I also want to check if you are staying connected to wifi with the static IP address assigned. It seems others are having a great deal of trouble with their wifi staying connected and I anticipate this might be a solution for those problems.
