Startup and Wi-Fi problem with email, apps Had to grab a Samsung Galaxy Discover prepaid phone with 4.0.4 as a quick replacement.  Only problem is whenever I power up the phone, my Gmail and ISP's email accounts won't sync and my weather widget won't refresh.  Idisable Wi-Fi service and then everything starts working immediately.  I can then start Wi-Fi and it seems like everything works via wifi from then on until my next on/off.  No other carrier or Wi-Fi issues that I can see.

Any thoughts on the cause?
Not a real solution as to the underlying problem -- but a possible work-around involving Tasker (or a similar automation app which could do the same):


Condition:

On Startup
If Wi-Fi On

Task:

Wi-Fi Off
Wait 15 sec
Wi-Fi On



This at least should save you from having to do it manually everytime.
