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,

Wifi access point problem
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.
This is the second time my wifi has stopped functioning correctly because of this program.
I love the app, its the only one of its kind, but i dont want to hard reset again because of it.
The first time it went bad, i could not enable my wifi anymore at all...
Now my device (touch pro) will not connect to its own Ad hoc network. I can turn on WMWifirouter and it says connected, but the wifi connection just says "connecting" and never connects.
The other problem is that i cannot uninstal WMWifiRouter to reinstal it. It fails no matter how i do it (over active sync, or on the device itself).
The crash clean up does nothing, ive tried deleting and recreating the ad hoc connection, and still nothing...
Is there a utility to reset wifi on my phone? im going to have to hard reset again arent I?.....
F#ck!!!
yeah my wifi doesnt work after either. its just what the program does. if i soft reset i get wifi back. i dont need to uninstall and dont want to break my working install you may just have to hard reset. im also in houston and have constant 3g which is faster and more reliable than my home dsl so im not hard pressed not to have wifi.
Hi,
I have had the Samsung Galaxy S for about 2 months now and in the last two weeks I have not been able to connect to my wi-fi at home. the 3g works fine but everytime i try to connect to my wi-fi at home it comes up as unsuccessful and then the wi-fi turns itself off. for a while the other wi-fi connections would connect but would not open any internet pages, but now it just won't connect at all. I have tried resetting the router and the modem, and have done a factory reset on the phone but it still won't work! Can anyone shed any light on this or offer me any advice as I am becoming extremely frustrated with my phone!!
I have a wifi issue, it keeps trying to connect to the router then says authentication then disconnects ive tried 2 different routers and checked passwords everything fine my laptop connects fine, I installed phires rom and now i have nookiecomb w/froyo, I hate to start a new thread im am leaving for a while on travel and need this fixed since im going lite =P, did anyone else have this problem and can show me a fix?
Try doing a hard reset (holding down the power button until it shuts down). It should work. I had the same problem, wifi seems to be searching or couldn't log on. Had to do the hard reset twice before getting it functioning.
All of a sudden beginning yesterday my captivate can no longer connect to the wifi network at work. Other users can connect to the network fine and I'm able to see the network from my phone and connect to other networks just fine but when I try to connect to the work network it just shows connecting with the round circle containing 2 curved arrows and then disconnected, scanning, and connecting again.
I have stock 2.3.5 and have tried wifi fixing apps and power cycling without success... Basically I'm stuck at the point of a hard reset unless anyone has any other suggestions for why I'm unable to access one specific wifi channel all of a sudden...
Thanks!
I meet wifi problem like yours, cause of the poor network switcher. After switcher reboot, phone can connect it.
Try Airplane mode on the phone, or switching WiFi on and off. Rebooting router helps too - but probably not an option at work.
It's the router/access point. Reboot that and all is good.
