WIFI Problems

My wifi if being finicky, like not wanting to connect, or even see my home router, is anyone else having any trouble with wifi?

it must be your router.

no problems here...

I was running it with the following:
SSID broadcast off
WPA2 Personal
Mac filtering
I turned SSID broadcast back on and it works fine now, someone else want to replicate those settings and see if they have problems?

I am having problems connecting to my wireless router, my Evo is saying I have a "poor signal" at my computer desk but my computer is showing me at 100% signal. I think its a Evo software thing but thats my 2 cents. I don't use my wifi often with my phone any way so no biggie for now.

I also have ssid broadcast off and I cant get it working.

Hi everybody, So far I love the EVO even without 4g. Anyway after I turned on my ssid I connected okay. I can see the market and find what I want to download. It says downloading but never does. I have downloaded apps with the 3g but I don't have a signal at my home. I always used winmo before and had no problems downloading on my home network. I wondered if anyone had any suggestions as to what I might be missing. I got root okay and have been having a blast but I sure would like to download some more apps while I am at home. Thanks, Rick

SSID broadcast off and no issues for me thus far.

Yes, me too. Sort of.
My Evo shows 1 bar of wifi signal strength at a distance of 8 feet from the router where my iphone shows full bars. I do get decent download speeds using xspeedlabs free but the upload speed seems to cap at 750kbs where the iphone goes over 1mbs with the same test. There is definitely something weird going on.

I am having similar results as far as signal strength. Sitting 2 feet away from my router I am only showing one bar of signal strength and getting very slow speeds. All of my other wifi devices (including those that are on the opposite side of the house and downstairs) are getting signals ranging from "good" to "excellent". Something definitely seems to be up with the wifi.....

I was having wifi issues too. I'm running dd-wrt on my router. Turns out just power cycling the router fixed it. I think I'm going to setup my router to reset weekly.

I get the same issue of having 1 bar of signal strength, regardless of how close I am... even tried on 2 different wireless routers, Linksys-dual band N, and Net gear A/B/G.
I get strong signal from both routers on all other devices, iPhone, iTouch, Touch Pro, Laptops, etc...
I've played with all the settings on the EVO, turning off the mobile data and only having wifi on, changing the encryption settings on the routers... nothing seems to work.
I love the phone, but kinda bummed about this issue.

I have ssid broadcasting turned off and I'm using WPA 2 with no problems.

There is a long, angry thread about this over at HTC's own EVO forum: http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/94/t/2929.aspx
I'm also getting less Wi-Fi performance on the EVO than on other devices in the house.

Using Fresh 1.0.1 rom and also the new Cyanogen rom, with the SSID off, I cannot connect with WiFi, with SSID on, it works fine. Using Cisco/Linksys e2000 router.
Tested with my iPhone with SSID off, it connects no problem. So the problem is not my router.
Is this limitation of EVO?

[Q] wifi on cm7.2 still not stable for me

yo im a noob at this so dont judge xD i was on cm7.2 rom but wifi on that was really unstable, i changed my router to WPA(TKIP) and i tried WPA2(AES) and mixed but still unstable, then i tried oxygen and it worked ( but i prefair cm7.2 in my case)

thanks in advance

Try changing the wireless channel.

of the router or of my phone or both ?

On the router.
Use the WiFi analyzer app from the market to find an empty piece of the spectrum.
Login to the control panel of your router and change to that channel.
Your wifi devices will drop, then re-establish a connection automatically with the router.
Configure your router to use whatever version of WPA or WPA2 you prefer, don't bother with WEP.
Then, set your WiFi sleep policy on the phone to 'never,' by pressing the menu button in the WiFi settings screen and touching 'advanced'.
If this still doesn't work, try re-flashing your radio or just move to a different ROM. If you get the same problem on different ROMs, consider that the phone may have developed a fault, and get it repaired or replaced under warranty. Good luck dealing with HTC though, they are a PITA to deal with.

wifi problem 2.3.3

Regards
I have a problem with wifi after I put update on 2.3.3
whether it can solve this problem with wifi.
I always shoot and it turns the wifi network.
be a good wifi network signal then disappears

Same problem here

This is a very serious problem. Get ur act together HTC, this is just unacceptable!

Are you rooted? HTC raised the signal strength at which the connection would be dropped, there is a fix if you are rooted, otheewise you are stucm and will have to wait for HTC to correct this.

Have you tried another radio? of course be careful if you do change it

same issue, though htc say that its a "new feature" to provide a seamless mobile broadband experience by automatically chosing the strongest signal. whatever you say htc
i just disable mobile data at home, so it cant jump back to 3g and stays on wifi. the annoying thing with this is that i forget to enable mobile data when leaving the house.
i hope they sort it out, and that this new feature isn't rolled out across their other products

I am having the same problem. At work, my wifi connection is weak, but was always functional. Now, I cannot connect to my work wifi. On top of that, my battery drains twice as fast on my phone, and I'm thinking that it's due to the phone always scanning and trying to connect to the wifi signal. If it's true that HTC changed the level at which the wifi signal is dropped, this was a terrible decision.

I think this may answer/point to the problem I'm having since installing the Gingerbread RUU. I use the quick settings app from the market and pre-gingerbread it used to switch between wi-fi/mobile pretty seemlessly, turning off the unused option. Now if there's no wi-fi connection that option seems to stay on (probably searching) while it's connected to mobile data. As above, my battery is draining like a sieve.

Same problem for me with Original Rom.
so i tried the Revoloution HD 5.1.4 and same problem again!

Hi guys until HTC release an OTA fix (that's if they do) the only way to resolve this is to root and then try some different ROM and radio combinations until you find one that works for you.
I find the ROM and radio from my signature work really well on WiFi but if you are going to do this make sure and root, gain S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. Also make sure you have the correct RIL for the ROM and radio that you are using
There are lots of threads on the dev section that guide you through this.

Wifi connecting
I have a similar problem with wifi connection. Only it doesn't disconnect during a connection but when establishing a wifi connection it takes much longer than it used to on Froyo. Anyone else noticed this?

i have problem too with wifi

I really hope htc has stopped the updates and resumes with a new build with the wifi problem fixed

The issue is with the Gingerbread Sense ROMs.

I' using Revolution HD 5.1.4 with latest Radio and RIL

WiFi problems with routers
Hi there,
Same problem here. Both my WiFi router and phone say signal and reception quality are perfect and connection it stable, but data won't flow.
I'm having this problem with my Speedtouch (WEP key) router at home, whereas a Sitecom router at the office works fine (WPA etc. key).
Tried some work arounds, without success
Regards
***EDIT***
I can add that it has nothing to do with the reported threshold of -88dB signal strength. As I checked that with the *#*#4636#*#* option and both higher and lower values of the WiFi reception don't make any difference. The problem persists.
***EDIT v2***
The suggestion posted elsewhere to change from WEP to WPA didn't work out either
***EDIT v3***
Reverted back to ARHD 3.7 and WiFi is running fine again .
Hope some fix will be found soon!
Regards,

Is there any solution. I am trying to downgrade the radio but no chance.

If I use LeeDroid or Revolution will this same problem be there?

WLAN Signal extemly low (1 bar @ hotspot )

Hello together!
I have a problem with my Desire
I'm using CM7 since months without troubles.
But from one night to the other my wlan signal is extremly low, i have one bar of signal strength directly at the hotspot (no problems with other mobile phones or notebooks etc)
After that i tried many things:
newest radio, newest CM7, a new middle case ... without success.
The GPS signal is good ...
I think the Bluetooth signal is also not so good, but i don't have a reference here.
So i hope anybody can help me here!
Thanks pmneo

but does your wifi work ok , i mean are u able to surf on ur phone with wifi ??
or do u have to sit near the hotspot for that ?

i can surf about 3-5 meters around the hotspot.
Before i got that problem i was able to surf everywhere in the house ...

Do you also have the problem with other hotspots?
If not it's a hotspot issue (change wifi channel or something), if so I would advice to test it with a standard rom to be sure.
If it's still bad with the standard rom after that it's probably the hardware of your phone.

Try with another hotspot. If problem remains, do a backup and hard reset, or you can even try a new rom.

I tried the hotspot @ work -> same problem
I tried some other roms -> same problem
I think the antenna is the problem ... does anybody nows where the antenna is located?
Thanks pmneo

Help: Wifi issues

Im having issues on my htc one x, thing is it shows available wifi networks at some distance but it is unable to connect to any (it keeps scanning till for some reason wifi network dissapears until i turn wifi off and on again), only way to get a connection is standing right next or front to my router (>1 mt.) where it works just fine and get good network speed, but if for some reason cant get a connection thru walls or when something blocks direct view, i already tried soldering antenna conector trick posted but it didnt work, also installing a custom recovery and tried several custom roms but i get the same result. Any ideas?. thanks
