We are seeing a strange inconsistency in our ability to connect to Photons' WiFi access points when the devices are in listening mode. \r\n\r\nAfter use (multiple connections, sets of credential, firmware flashes... etc.), some of the devices seem to get into a state where we cannot connect to their Soft AP access point. i.e. when we put the device into listening mode and select its access point from the list of WiFi networks, the connection fails. The connection process may either hang on message \"Obtaining IP...\" (Android 5/6), or returns error \"DHCP lookup failed\" (Ubuntu 12.04, Windows 7).\r\n\r\n*Steps taken that do not consistently solve the issue:*\r\n- Clearing the credentials,\r\n- Resetting the device,\r\n- Full re-flash of the latest firmware (v0.4.5 or v0.4.6: tinker + core modules). \r\n\r\n*Steps taken that consistently solve the issue:*\r\n- Connecting to another AP. Resetting the Photon, then immediately connecting to the Photon's AP (within 10 seconds).\r\n- Flashing firmware version 0.4.3. \r\n\r\nWe've seen about a dozen devices get into this state at one point or another.

So though I am happy that the problem has seemed to go away for others by making pcb and antenna changes I feel there is still something unresolved here."}}
