OSF won't connect to free wifi

I have an Orange San Francisco which I've only had for a few weeks. I am currently on holiday abroad where there are several places with free wifi.

I was able to connect at the hotel with a code, but haven't been able to connect anywhere else including places like Starbucks.

It starts scanning, says it is finding the IP address then disconnects.

I have managed to connect the laptop to some of these free wifi hot spots, but not the phone.

I have APNdroid installed.

I would be grateful for any ideas.

I haven't been able to try free wifi in the UK as there is none available where I live.

    Hi.

    There is the problem with wifi dropouts on the OSF. I installed BladeWifi from Android Market (I think it's called that). Now it re-connects automatically.

    Regards,
    Ed.

    Thanks.

    I already have Blade Wifi installed, but it doesn't show in my list of Apps, is that normal or do I need to reinstall it?
