I am not sure why, but I took the Otter Box off and squeezed the case a few times and it worked! That was after the restore that failed to fix the problem. I am now convinced the grounding issue is the cause. Stay tuned.......

Update...does not work properly yet. The settings screen shows WIFI off, but when you access the WIFI option it shows "on" and searching for network, but never finds one.
