   As I recall, my WiFi used to scan and show all the WiFi networks, and for   
   those that I tapped on, it would first ask for the password and then always   
   remember it from thence forward.   
      
   Now, it won't even scan, and yet, other apps (like Fritz WLAN) see the AP   
   SSIDs quite clearly, and, if I *connect* to the network once manually into   
   Android WiFi settings, then it remembers it from thence forward.   
      
   Funnily, if I don't connect, then it won't remember neither the SSID nor   
   the passphrase, which is odd to say the least.   
      
   Anyway, my next factory refresh should solve whatever setting it was that   
   screwed it up. I screw with Android settings often so this is just a nit in   
   the scheme of things. I just don't understand why as what Jeff noted is   
   good but I don't think it applied to my situation (which itself,   
   admittedly, is different than most since I screw with settings all the   
   time).
