The result of this is sometimes, wifi is just missing from Wireless Manager, or is unable to be toggled on/off if present. I have to reboot the phone to get it to work again. I've also determined that this most often happens when the reception is weak, i.e. a good data roam signal combined with a weak sprint signal. Since this phone has no "Roam Only" it can switch to the weak sprint signal, causing all sorts of problems eventually locking up the wifi in the phone. Anyone else experience this? I'm going to try the latest update to the phone and if that doesn't fix it, I'll likely exchange it before the warranty is up. I just hope it isn't a design flaw.
Honestly, I just got a replacement Intrepid for the exact issue and perhaps I just put too much stuff on my phone, but now my out-of-the-box Intrepid uses WMWifi just fine. No registry hacks. Nothing. I recommend backing up all the things you have on your phone and doing a factory-reset...
