    WiFi drops - only comes back when I hit WiFi Settings

    Several times during the day my Droid Incredible will drop my home WiFi connection. (Other computers in the home have no problem with the router signal.) This happens even if I am in the same room with the router. Here's the really weird part: it finds the hotspot again as soon as I go to the WiFi settings screen. I don't have to do anything there, it just initiates a re-connect when I open the screen.

    Anyone seen anything like this?

    Go into wifi settings, press menu, go into advanced settings and set wifi to Never Sleep. This will keep it on all the time, hence use more battery.
