I fired up Cydia this morning and noticed 2 updates. Mobile Substrate and UIKit Tools. I downloaded the updates and rebooted my device. Since then I have noticed that my iPhone won't work properly with WiFi. It connects to my network, picks up an IP address and I can ping it. But Safari won't connect to the Internet. I'm not even getting the WiFi icon on the status bar. Anyone else having similar issues?
Got a tip for us?

I updated Mobile Substrate and UIKit Tools also. Just rebooted and didn't have any problems. Maybe try rebooting your router?
I just popped in to look for this. Yesterday I woke up to a completely dead battery when I know it had been ~80% before.
Got it charged up to around 50% and it was fine through the day. When I left work and stopped at a store on the way home, it wouldn't connect to the in-store wifi. I played around with both the Settings app and SBSettings. I would sometimes get an IP address on wireless but no apps could access the network. Turning wifi on and off was flaky in both Settings and SBSettings--turning it on in particular would not stick.
A few resprings and restarts didn't really do much to change it. At first I could access the net over 3G but that stopped working as well. Unfortunately I did not really have time to diagnose this because I needed a working phone, so I had to do a restore when I got home.
Maybe over the weekend I'll play with it some more. I'm not sure if the battery drain and the network problems are related.
