Thank you, all

I asked the Android 4.0.3 client to download the XpressConnect app, and his 
device connected to the network right away after running the app. 

Mike, what configuration issue do you think on the network side? We are using 
Cisco WiSM1, WPA2-Enterprise with PEAP-MSCHAPv2 authentication.

Thank you.

I regularly have issues on both of my Android devices (Droid 4 running Android 
v2.3.6, SGT 10.1 running Android v4.0.4) where I have to manually 
disconnect/reconnect very often.  We are using Juniper/Trapeze access points 
and controllers with EAP-TLS (certificates only, no user/pass auth) 
authentication.
