Why would you need to switch off WiFi when it had already lost connection?
I haven't heard about the issue. What is it exactly?

If wifi is on and even though it shows it is connected it isn't...so switching it off makes phone switch to 3g and then I get internet connection back. Same goes the other way around if there is no connection via 3g
I haven't experienced a problem like that. Could it occur with my GN but I haven't noticed it because it fixes itself or does it require manually disconnecting and reconnecting to fix it?

I believe it's actually only the connection to Google services that it drops. I've downloaded podcasts overnight, but only when I wake and force it to open a Google app like Gmail or Talk, does it actually connect in and the icons turn blue again.
in my case there is no connection at all...i can try gmail, browser, other emails, engadget app...anything that requires internet connection and nothing...only switching to wifi/3g helps
Soldato
what happens if you load the web or gmail and you refresh? mine will go 'grey' and sleep but wakes up

Same here Jimlad. I have heard of others with total WiFi loss though.
nothing, in browser I will keep on getting no connection etc and gmail will keep updating for a while then stops.icons stay grey
Yeah, been getting more of the same lately. Missed 6 emails yesterday afternoon because of it. But I think it's related to the router, my connection's been terrible the past week and that's when it's done it the most.
remember that I have same problem with WiFi switched off

SkyGo test 0.1.3 hope that works, i just installed it and logged on with my Sky account and it workes fine, I tried it on my Galaxy tab 10.1 3g and it just hung at buffering what ever I as trying to play including Sky News

Been comparing s2 ICS with G Nexus ICS today with mate's handset and s2 ICS is definitely a lot smoother, the better hardware spec definitely comes to help here.
I'll be using pure ICS on the s3 for sure!

Oh it is definitely a lot smoother to my senses, s2 one has no lag anywhere but GN has noticeable stutter when scrolling various lists and things. His phone is on 4.0.2 though but I don't think that matters.
Was his phone set up any differently though? That can make a difference (as you well know).
The Nexus does lag a bit (more stutter really) in places but only after a while when the lists/screens and such are populated with things. The Galaxy S II is generally a similar situation here.
The exception to this is when you enter/exit the app drawer, it's usually a bit juddery there, which is a bit of a poor show as that's one of the more common animations.
Apparently the 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 update makes it massively smoother according to reports, so it could just be the software.
