Verizon Droid X Wifi connection issues...solved!

D  R  O  I  D 

I was stoked to get a brand spanking new Verizon Droid X today but when I got home I quickly found that WIFI was not working and I was really frustrated and disappointed. I of course scoured the net in search of the solution, but it was all a dead-end with hapless people like me wanting a quick fix. And as is so common with technology the personal response to the lack of perfection can be that "I got screwed' or "I made a wrong choice, I should have gone with...."

Well after spending some time trying to figure this out I thankfully found a solution and now it seems very trivial but I hope this help you out.

1) Be sure you are updated to 2.3.15 (Android 2.2)
      a) Settings > About Phone > System Update


2) Go to Settings > Location & Security


3) Ensure that 'Use Wireless Networks' is turned on. It is turned off by default (yes an apparent oversight)


4) Also turn on 'Use GPS satellites' and 'Enable Assisted GPS' while you are in there.
