i gave up on the shielding, and the scripts, remember there is one sure way to fix this:

Downgrade to OS 2005

I am sure if we pull out the network connectivity scripts from OS 2005 and throw it into a more recent OS, this will all get fixed.

But . . . like everyone else, I keep looking at the new devices and just dont find myself wanting to spend time fixing it for good.

i dont have anything running on my 770 anymore, used to have a ton of apps but now its just a little internet tablet. Which is ok I guess, it still works under OS 2005, lol.
