FixWiFi - Due to an apparent bug in the Palm TX's and LifeDrive's operating system, an unnecessary event (firstUserEvent) is generated whenever the WiFi disconnects (e.g., due to inactivity) or fails to connect.
This can result in incorrect functionality in whatever application is running when the disconnect happens.
In one application I know this causes a crash. In another, it causes incorrect functionality.
FixWiFi is a new control panel (go to the Prefs application to start it) that unofficially fixes this problem.
