DROID X : Does Not want Reconnect With The Network After Shutting WI-Fi " OFF "

[B33]

I Have had this Happen more than once Now i'll Be using my Wi-Fi Then when i shut it off on the X  it does not want to Re- Connect with the Network at all.   An i'm wondering if its beacause of a setting that i may have it on or maybee an App. Causing this issue

Has any one experienced this on there X 

Now when i shut the X off an do the restart it's back on.

I don't use WiFi very often (work doesn't allow non work computers to connect, and at home I use my laptop), but I find at work that my phone sometimes doesn't want to connect to the Network when I walk into the building from the parking ramp (very spotty service on the ramp).

What I do to correct this without restarting, I turn on 'airplane' mode until I see the little airplane in the notification bar, then turn airplane mode off. Within a minute, the network is reconnected and working in 3g just fine.

Location is also part of the problem. I work on the first floor of the building. They are doing remodeling on my floor right now, so I am now on the top floor and have not had this happen since the move a month ago. Since my floor is below a hill with another building on top of the hill between my normal location and the closest tower, the line of sight is hidden, so I expect small problem with it. It doesn't happen all the time, but I do notice it when I try to run internet radio at work.

I experianced this from time to time but usually all I have to do is open a app that required a data connection and then it would reconnect to the 3G network like normal..

Sometime this work and sometime it dont, its not a 100 proof fix but worth a try, also have you set the wifi to not sleep under Settings / Wireless and Networks / Wifi Settings / Left Menu / Advance / Wi-Fi Sleep Policy./ Never
