Notsure Wifi won't reconnect automatically when in range or by enabling wifi?

It's done this twice now (before and after factory reset). 2.1 OTA, not rooted.

Whenever I turn on the wifi, or I become in range of my WPA2 network, it doesn't always connect. I say "always" because it seems to be random. If I toggle wifi on or off, it doesn't always connect. Sometimes it connects after 30+ seconds. Every other device connects just fine.

The only sure way to get it to connect is to force it to rescan, usually by going to Settings and displaying all SSIDs in range. THEN it connects, always and immediately.

The even sillier thing is, it will alert me of open networks, but never connect to my own saved network.

Any idea? This is annoying. Thanks.

I have the same problem. I found that if I enable mobile data network that the wifi connects every time.

Dallas, can you be more specific for us newbies (what steps to get to "enable mobile data network" in 2.1)?

Thanks

Mine sometimes does the same thing. I've found that just by going to the wi-fi settings screen that it will connect like it should. I don't have to DO anything on that screen, just go there - so I put a shortcut on my home screen that takes me right to the wi-fi screen.
