Help Samsung Galaxy S on Froyo - cannot handover between WiFi Access Points automatically

[flaggy]

Hi there,

I have two Wifi Access Points (APs) at home, both using the same SSID, but on different channels.

I expected the SGS to automatically move (handover) from one AP to another based on signal strengths that vary depending on where I am.

However, this does not happen. It stays on the AP that it is connected to, even when moving to very poor signal levels.

I need to manually trigger this (e.g by disconnecting from the AP).

Is there a way to fix this? e.g. configuration or Android app.

By the way, I also tried configuring the APs with different SSIDs, but this didn't work either.

Thanks
Tim

I have this same problem on my Galaxy S (Captivate) phone. Is there any solution? Seems to be a problem with all Android Phones?

This is basic functionality that any WiFi capable device should have. Especially the Vibrant with UMA calling.

Have noticed the same issue on my HTC Sensation 4G -- any updates on how to address?
