After about 20 mins, i took it out and it instantaneously connected to wifi, this lasted about 10 mins. I can put it in the fridge and it will connect every time, but once the phone has got back to room temp the connection dissapears again??
Any ideas if this can be fixed...i'm in China so no chance of exchanging the unit.
Cheers Pete,

i'm having this SAME exact problem.. problem didn't start until i started beta testing 3.0! i also read a post about the fridge solution and it did help for about 3 minutes, but after that.. NOTHING!

ANYONE with any solutions on this problem, please help!

(added note, my phone has NEVER been dropped, so it's not an issue like that... i'm THINKING it's more to do with the beta testing, BUT, the only problem with that thought is, it doesn't seem to be affecting any other beta testers, or there would be threads left and right about it)!
