Hey guys,

I didnt seem to have this issue on the cooked ROMS i used. With the stock ROM once in awhile my Android refuses to connect to my hidden network untill i delete it from the wireless profiles and readd.

whats up with that?

ssid not broadcasting aka you have to manually add the network to be able to see it and connect.

I havent seen any issues with it on my dev or my wifes connect as I use a hidden network too. ;)

Gotcha. I've been having problems with my Connect dropping my WiFi network recently, could it be related? I have to toggle WiFi off/on again, it won't re-connect otherwise. Weird....

Hey Dirt, are you running VV3?

I used to be able to fix the issue by toggling off and on the wifi, but that no longer seems to fix the issue. And before i had to restart the phone to get it to work... now i actually have to go into my access point and turn on broadcast of SSID. Then the phone picks it up and i can turn broadcasting back off and its good for awhile.

I know on Windows systems you check a box that says connect to wireless networks that are not broadcasting but i saw no such option on android. and it has worked in the past no problem, seems to be an intermittent issue.

What is VV3?
