Nokia 700 Wi-Fi not working until reboot

The problem I experience (with steps to reproduce):

- I connect to wi-fi access point

- Use internet (or just disconnect, it doesn't matter)

- Disconnect via turning wi-fi off at the notification screen (I tried to tap active wi-fi connection and close it before turning wi-fi off - it doesn't help)

- The next day (time interval may be shorter) I cannot connect to any access point my phone finds. There is a list, but when I tap an access point from the list it does not begin "connecting" animation and returns with an error immediately. Deleting "known" access points doesn't help. Unknown access points do not connect either. After I turn phone off and on it connects perfectly to all access points available but eventually this nasty bug reappears.

 

It really bugs me to turn my phone off and on every time I need to access internet. Also it sometimes shows a list of access points it had found last time if no access points can be found right now (e.g. it shows me wi-fi spots from the railway station I had left several hours ago). Looks like a bug with wi-fi networks cache.

Reset the 700. Dial *#7370# reformat, you'll lose all data. Make a backup first and restore without the settings.

I have also seen this with my 700. It's only a week old, so its unlikely to need to be factory reset.

Turning the wifi power saving mode off seems to help. But then that chews through the battery very quickly.

Re: Nokia 700 Wi-Fi not working until reboot

Please restore factory setting. it helps for me. I lost wlan and data connection, incoming MMS stuck as well due to memory leaking after one day usage of phone. Of cause power off/ on cycle will work a short time.
