HI all,

After the last update (254), my phone was struggling to stay connected to any wifi (including mine at home). It never had problems like that before the update.

now the thing I did, was to simply go through the list of wifi networks i previously connected to, and remove quite a few of the "out fo range" ones (especially the ones it is very unlikely I will be able to connect to them from the other side of the world Winking_Face )

guess what?

the phone now stays connected to the wifi !

as an indication, I've now 31 wifi networks.

hope it helps someone else !

PS: Since that update, I also noticed the quality of a phone call is mediocre, blank screen when trying to wake up the screen and sometimes the phone doesn't accept calls unless restarted. now that the WIFI is better, I will see if there is any improvements on these. The blank screen is still happening, but i hope the call will be better...

As I thought, the quality of the call is MUCH MUCH better now that the WIFI is sorted out. Slightly_smiling_Face

Oh I love being a tester sometimes !

Hello all!

I'm reading here carefully.. but never saw a problem like mine:

WIFI turns ON spontaneously!

Can't identify what triggers this!

I've tried all kinds of resets/restarts/task killings etc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
