I normally have wi fi at home and somehow this morning it connects then goes away. What would cause that? And also, is it better to have it on edge network than 3G to save baterry? Thanks
The Wifi I can't explain, what Firmware are you on?
You will reduce your battery usage by turning 3G off on your phone. There are other things you can turn off as well to help with battery usage. Turn off Auto-Brightness and Location Services (unless you need them of course).
Things to try:Originally Posted by HUNTER1
1)connect, and in WiFi Settings, click the little blue arrow to the right of the connection and select "Forget this Network". Reboot the phone and try again.
2) Go into Settings, General, Reset, and select reset network Settings and try again.
3) Reboot the WiFi Router/access point.
And yes, edge is better than 3G for battery conservation

My WiFi did the same after installing 3.1.2.
I changed my wireless router to display my SSID and now it works fine.

The only reason I asked what FW you were on as I know there were big issues with wifi connection stability when 3.0 first came out.
Do as Hawk suggested, that seems like the only viable route at present.
@ juls1585- EDGE is no stronger than what it always has been. It's exactly the sameIt may just appear to be better. I think your obsessed with battery usage.
I did the reset on the phone and on the router and it works now. I also switched to EDGE and turned off 3G, thanks guys
Glad you got it working.
Julie, you need a battery backup. I recommend the IMP500. About $60 on Amazon.
It's big and clunky, but can charge your phone about 4 times before you need to recharge the backup.
I carry one in my backpack at all times.
