    Any way to "kickstart" wifi?

    I periodically run into the problem of my wifi not connecting. I'll be in my house and when I turn the phone on there is no wifi indicator.

    Accessories Why, O why, isn't there a kickstand case for this phone yet?

    It's been two years! Google (or search Amazon) "Epic 4G kickstand" and you'll get a hundred hits for Epic 4G TOUCH, but none for Epic 4G.
