Default Wifi worries

hey everybody

I must say, I love this phone. Coming from an HTC S710, I really must say that it has improved in so many ways that it makes the S740 pretty much the phone I always wanted.

However, there is one thing that keeps annoying me, maybe someone else has also made this experience: My Wifi sometimes acts up. What I mean is, sometimes (read hardly ever) it works just like its supposed to, most of the times it takes somewhere between 30 seconds and up to 4 minutes to.. well, I dunno exactly, to load the driver I suppose, and occassionally it won't switch on at all. A soft reset will fix this most of the time.

I have yet to find out what triggers this. Also, I have tried several hard resets, and even with a completely clean device, literally seconds after whiping it completely, this behaviour consists..

Please share if you have experienced something similar

I had problems with Wifi on my devices in the past. Switching power mode (Settings->Connections->WLAN settings->Power Mode) to maximum performance always helped, therefor I automatically switched it on my S740.
You should give it a try. If that doesn't help I would say you probably have a faulty unit.

Yeah, I remember that from my S710. Wifi wouldn't work properly if it wasn't set to max performance. Already tried that, to no avail. Will have a replacement in a couple of days, maybe I just got a lemon this time..
