hi all,

my legend (from july 10) came with android 2.1; it worked fine. when after the long wait it finally upgraded to 2.2 (froyo) it started having problems with wireless.

it connects only when wifi is switched on, i.e. after pressing "settings" -> "wireless and networks" -> "wi- fi" once (or twice, to force disconnect and reconnect).

when it goes out of range of a network, and then comes into range of another, it does not automatically connect. it seems not to scan for new networks. so a restart of wifi is always required.

does anyone know why this is, and can it be set to scanning/re-connecting automatically again?

many thanks
