wifi randomly stops working on 9930

Bold 9930 - 7.1.0.861 platform 5.1.0.606

I've had this problem for about a month. If I'm browsing on wifi, I will suddenly get error messages while trying to load a page, something about a communication failure or a bad server request. Sometimes, I will just see red Xs in place of normal images. I can easily solve this problem by turning wifi off and back on; the pages will load normally. However, this fix only lasts for several minutes, then wifi starts to act up again. This doesn't happen while using 3G coverage.

I've tried multiple OS updates, reloading my phone, etc. I've tried clearing the cache, resetting wifi settings to default, service books, and manually assigning DNS servers. This occurs on multiple wifi networks, also. My next step was to look for another hybrid system.

If this is a hardware problem, what component is faulty? Why would wifi begin magically working again when I disable and enable it? Its like it establishes a connection, but doesn't retain it. The wifi signal itself is ok.

I believe this is a know problem for many OS7/OS7.1 users. I hope Blackberry knows and solves the issue. Either OS os hardware problem, but I think OS problem.

Yep, I have the same problem. It is annoying but I'm not certain what to do to fix it other than to restart the wifi service. This looks like an OS issue but given that BB has focused on OS10 I don't know if we will ever see a fix. :(

i had this problem for about a couple days but then it solved itself. i think i may have restarted my router though, give that a shot? it's worth a try

Have you taken a look at this? http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...rdware-751180/

I have similar problems I just reload the page & if that dosnt work exit out & run the memory cleaner. That seams todo the trick.
