Hi,

my iPhone 4S with iOs 8 (8.1.3) is often dropping the wifi connection when unlocking the device. This started to happen only with iOs 8, iOs 7 was just fine.
When unlocking the device after at least 2 minutes of inactivity, it seems to be weekly connected on the wireless network but then it drops the connection and reconnects back again at full power. This happens:

- really, really often, but not always;
- with any access point I tried (different wireless chipsets), both on DHCP and static addressing
- with any wireless channel
- both on 802.11g and 802.11n
- rebooting the devices sometimes temporary fixes the problem (for 12-24 hours), sometimes it doesn't
- restoring the firmware in DFU mode didn't help, neither did resetting all settings and restoring as new device.

I really don't know how to fix this, I can't find anyone else having this problem on the Internet.

Here's a video showing the problem:

I also opened a discussions on the official apple support communities, I really hope someone will be able to figure it out.

Thank you.
