3)  Back out to the main settings page and tap on "WiFi" and connect to a network.
4)  While connected to the WiFi, move out of range of the connection so the connection is lost.

Hi,

I am seeing this same issue on my leo device with build 20131001154746. I've been using the latest commercial RIL since Thursday and the only way to get the device to find a known network after going out of range is to restart the device. It gets stuck at 'initializing' on the Settings screen and if I disable wifi, then I can't enable it again without restarting. I have the device in SF. Adding naoki as he flashed the device for me last week and asked me to add qawanted and needinfo for anything I found.

Thanks,
Michelle

leo team, comment 2 is in reference to the v10d build of leo.  Could you look into this please to see if this can be replicated?

Naoki,

Is this seen in 1.2 at all?

Comment 1 already indicates this reproduces on 1.2.

[Ken Chang[:kenkai]]

Vincent, it also happens in unagi. I wonder if this was a regression issue.

Comment 8

[Vincent Chang[:vchang][changyihsin]]

I can't reproduce this with today's buri 1.2. Could you please help to double confirm ?

Not sure, there may be something odd about the wifi code.

Will open a new bug if I find something.

Hi,

I am experiencing this issue quite often on the Flame v1.3 device. Sometimes it reconnects when I'm back in range, but most times it doesn't - especially if leaving the Wi-Fi range for over an hour.

Pulling down the notification bar displays an active Wi-Fi icon at the bottom, but it's not connected to any network.

ENVIRONMENT - 
Model: Flame reference device v1.3
Build ID: 20140520094859

I am re-opening the bug and adding QAWanted to investigate with the Flame device. Please let me know if there are any questions, or anything that I may be able to help with.

Thanks!!
- Ralph
