WIFI keeps turning off on my Galaxy S

Anonymous

I'm with o2, my galaxy S keeps turning the WIFI off altogether. I have not changed any settings on it. Can someone please help. This does this randomly about 4-5 times a day. This happens mostly when I am not in a WIFI area but didnt do this before. I have previously done a factory reset for another problem but this was a couple of months ago and this problem with the WIFI didnt happen then. I have been having this problem around 2-3 weeks. I hope theres someone who can help and hopefully I dont have to do another reset, Not liking factory resets Smiley Mad

Hi thanks for the advise, I have looked in there and it's already on never sleep. Checked everywhere(well everywhere I know to check) and can't see anything that will allow me to switch it on perminantly. Already done factory reset for another problem I have a couple o months ago so dont really want to do another one if it can be helped. Any other ideas?

I found this app which reckons it fixes this well known problem:

Please let us know if it works for you, it's not free unfortunately.
