Home Wi-fi on Galaxy Nexus suddenly disabled.

[animalwatcher]

Hi all. This just happened yesterday. I have had no problem connecting to my home wi-fi since I got the phone last Nov. 2011.

Then last night I noticed that my home network is disabled on the phone. It shows 'disabled'. I can't find a place to 'enable' it. I've re-put in the password, checked that it works with a laptop and it does. 'Forget' it, then re-found it. Restarted the phone a couple of times. When I click 'connect' it flashes the 'secured with WPA/WPA2 PSk' then goes back to 'disabled'.

I have changed nothing on my modem.

It is so frustrating. Is there a place to 'enable'? What is going on?

Thanks in advance.

Today in our office, it is the same, the available ones are disabled! I am now wondering if wifi is not working at all.

Why would it disable all wifi I want to use? We had a visitor and a password protected. When I checked them this morning, they were both disabled!

Anyone have any ideas?

Have you downloaded any suspicious apps?
running a task killer?
running a "hotspot" Wifi app? (this is a good place to as if I remember they disable Wifi to use it themselves)

for troubleshooting you can disabling the security (Or finding a open one?)

Crashumbc, Thank you that was it. I had a wi-fi app and when I uninstalled it all was back to normal.

I guess I won't be using a wi-fi app again.

Thank you so much for your reply and suggestion.
