wifi reconnection problem

Seen the other one x problems but didn't seem to match mine, i have a htc sensation that has worked off my router on wireless for months but my one x seems to have problems. At first when connected everything seems good but if you leave the area or drop connection it will sometimes never be able to reconnect regardless of stop/starting the wifi or rebooting the phone, the only solution to get it to work again is by reboot the modem. All it does is say connecting/saved/connected/saved over and over again.
Does anyone have any ideas or similar experiences ?.
had prob connecting wifi hotspot only but that was down to apn settings, sorry.
I've had the same issue, it'll connect fine, have an ip but won't even ping by ip address (ping 8.8.8.8). I'm on 1.29.401.11.
Sent from my HTC One X
Had the same issue, reported to HTC they said they where looking to it but never got back to me. Anyway it was eventually solved when I flashed the 1.29.401.7 ruu. Don't know if it was the update or a wipe of the phone that fixed for me. I know it's inconvenient but I would do a hard reset and see if problem still persists

Haha did you find this on page 10 lol, its happening a lot less and have also updated to 1.29.401.11 so will see how that goes
@Danofdanger
Just search for Wifi and you'll get lots of posts about bad wifi connectivity...set the router security to wep and you'll stay connected.
If you switch phone wifi off and then on again it will reconnect to the router fine if wep, but not if wpa.
With wpa it seems to loop.. if i reset the router password with wpa then it will take and be fine until i switch phone wifi off, then on again and it wont reconnect until i reset the router password, same as you describe.
I'm on WEP and have this issue with a 834GT router. Traffic bandwidth is terrible. I have given it a statis reservation and manually configured the connection, which has made the issue slightly better.

No internet access after switching between Asus RT-AC66U and data

I have no internet access on one certain wifi router (asus rt-ac66u), with my n7 lte, although I can access the internet on other routers and through the dataa connection, I can access my router management though. I did a factory reset of the router and that solved the problem temporarily but the problem came back. Just switching router/tablet on/off doesn't solve the problem
edit: well after turning on/off the n7 wifi worked but now data doesn't work when I disable wifi

If flashing the latest firmware doesn't help. You can try and change the wireless mode of your router. Log into mgmt. Navigate to your wireless settings, change "wireless mode" from "auto" to "N Only."
It's worth a try. What that will do is force N band only, whereas on auto when a g/b band connects the router switches to b/g mode, and that might mess with the Nexus. If the problem you encountered was fine with a factory reset temporarily, all it would take would be a "g or b" band device to log on to kill your n band and dumb down to g/b band.
It's not a bad idea if you don't have any b/g devices to turn off 'auto' anyways. The jury is still out on whether or not it actually benefits an all "N" environment, but it sure as hell won't be switching to G or B on you.
Those routers had issues with their early versions of firmware. They might have straightened it out by now. Upgrade it!

Try changing the WIFI channel used in your router. My nexus 10 had issues on certain channels especially on 5GHZ.
You may also have a Wifi region setting somewhere on your nexus. I remember seeing it before but can't find it right now. The region basically locks your nexus to (possibly) the wrong channels. IE. Not all euro channels work with american wifi channels

I tried different channels and connecting to 2.4 GHz only.
Help!
HELP!!
Let's divide the problem into smaller pieces - is this an N7 LTE problem or ASUS router problem?
Get another router (I use the Asus RT-N66U) and test if it works with the N7 LTE. If it does, then it's your' router.
If it does NOT work wit hth eN7 LTE, then it's your N7 LTE probably have a bad chip.
I installed the kitkat factory images and the problem still persists :crying:

Nexus 5X can't find any wifi network

So I bought a Nexus 5X 2 days ago. When I first started the phone it was running Android 6.0.0 and it didn't have issues. But a update for 6.0.1 showed up and I downloaded it. And then the issues came. It cannot find any wifi network... The problem isn't from my network, because every other device finds my home network and all the neighbors network, but the 5X doesn't find any... I tried factory reset, network reset, cache reset, nothing helped. I even tried Android N beta and for a moment it fixed the issue, but this morning the wifi problem occurred again. I sign out from the N beta and through Mobile network it managed to download the last stable version(that's what google is calling it) - 6.0.1 and the problem was still there.. after some restarts of the phone and some factory resets, i thought the problem was gone, because it managed to find every wifi network in the area, but after i used the phone for 25-30 minutes, the wifi problem occurred again and ever since... So, is this a common issue with the phone, or the android 6.0.1, or is my phone a defected one? Should I go to the store and ask for a replacement? Or will the next phone do the same thing ?

Hi something similar happened to my 5X (6.0.1). It was able to find wifi network but I was not able to use internet even-though internet was working for other devices. I have restarted phone but my phone stuck in to WIFI Obtaining IP address...
I have restarted my router and problem resolved. Happened two times. Might be some bug in software.
I'm currently facing this very same issue, no WIFI networks are showing up. I've already flashed latest N preview with same results, funny thing is that this morning was working just fine. But I had to reboot the phone and now it won't detect any WIFI Network at all.
I'm starting to think I have a failed unit, but since I'm outside the "US" I can't send it back for warranty repair. So I'll just keep it and keep restarting until it's fixed again. This is really frustrating, never happened to me with any device I owned before.

Is it every wifi or just your wifi?
If it is just your wifi, try factory resetting your router after recording the settings, or try removing some entries that my be using NVRAM.
I've seen cases where the router runs out of NVRAM to record the DHCP entries and that causes connection issues. It doesn't show up for other devicdes because their entries are already stored in NVRAM. It is just the incremental new device you add that triggers the problem, so you naturally think the problem is with the new device since all your other devices work with the router.
my solution for wifi not found/working
i´ve upgraded from the nexus 5 to 5x.
i had a really weird issue with my wifi.
only found my wifi when i was not in airplanemode. so i read 1000 of articles about the wifi of the n5x.
just the standard blabla. so i did my own research
while my n5 and my n7 + 2 laptops had never issues my new 5x didnt find my wifi. i really thought it was an hw-issue. but it wasnt.
i am using a fritzbox router. newest update, made a reboot, rebooted phone. nothing happened.
then i checked my wifi channels, set it to manually and instantly found my wifi. i really never expected that the channel got such a big influence. may be the latest update brought a bug for the wifi channels or the hw is just not capable of some channels, dunno. but this is what helped me and it was nowhere mentioned in any forum.
tl;dr
try to change your wifi channel of the router.
edit: btw i found the 5ghz while the 2,4ghz wifi didnt work. but i wanted the 2,4ghz wifi to work because of the short range of my 5ghz wifi.
atm i am on channel 8 and i got no problems with the 2,4ghz wifi network

I don't know about Europe, but usually in the US we only use channels 1,6,11 to prevent overlap.
This is because there is overlap in the channels so you can't really use the in between channels due to too much interference. If you are the only wifi transmission in your area it is fine to use any channel, but if there are others and they are using standard channels for no overlap/interference and you are using in-between channels, your signals are probably going to interfere with each other.
When everyone is using the set channels, then they can negotiate properly and everything works better. With overlapping frequency bands, the negotiation doesn't work well because your signal sometimes looks like noise to the other device.

Hi, thanks for your help but unfortunately it's every wifi... it just hangs on "Searching for Wi-Fi Network..." and stays there...
I already talked with LG and they asked me to send the unit for repair, but I'm no in the US anymore (I was for a short time of period and that's when I bought this phone). So that would not be an option, right now I'm only using 4G and trying to measure it, lol
Just another question, do you guys think I could use a WIFI external dongle through USB OTG? Could that be possible on the Nexus 5X?
Thanks for your help! :good::good:

Hi, thanks for the suggestion but the problem I'm facing it's with every wifi network around, not only mine.
I guess unit is defective, but could a simple reboot trigger this kind of behavior? This is strange, never happened on any device I've owned before. :crying:

WiFi Issues

Is anyone having wifi issues on the March update? I'm trying to determine if it is the phone itself or my wifi AP.
Thanks!

Yep sorry. Forgot to define it. The WiFi randomly disconnects for a few seconds and connects back to the network.

I will admit the Wifi is kind of squirrely on my phone.
Not in connection but in performance.
i havent experienced disconnects accept with wifi I KNOW to be crap.
i do experience choking where nothing is moving quite often.
Does this happen to you on all networks?
I really like this app to keep tabs on that sort of thing, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.kfsoft.android.TrafficIndicatorPro
I've had that happen before intermittently. It also happened with my Nexus 6P. I think a full wipe/reset fixed it for my phone.
You could also try to forget the WiFi connection, and then reconnect to it. That may help. I also tried power-cycling my router at home.
Good luck.
Ok so I use Unifi UAPs at my house and I have read about this issue on the unifi community forums a little but some people are saying it began happening with the February update. Apparently the claim that disabling ipv6 fixed the problem but I am reluctant to accept that as a solution. Just wanted to see if this is a broad issue or something I should take to the UBNT forums.
I have only had the phone since February (thanks verizon) so I can't comment on performance before that. Before the pixel I did have a nexus 6p that was fine on my connection but I have noticed some connectivity drops too on it recently. However I don't use it as much as the pixel so I can't say for sure.
Thanks all!

I only connect to the WiFi at my house since I have plenty of data so I'm not sure if it happens on other networks. I also wouldn't be on other networks long enough to test either since it appears to happen sporadically.
I noticed this was a old thread but curious if anyone found a solution? I'm on March 18' update and my wifi connection constantly cuts in & out. Router is a Linksys with Mediacom as ISP. I tried both 2.4 and 5Ghz bands with no luck.

Strange WIFI Issue with my router

Hey folks,
I hope somebody can help me. I have a very strange issue with my Sony Xperia XZ2 compact and my Wifi. It won't connect under any circumstances. It says "Establishing connection" but nothing happens. It worked in the first place but since two weeks, it stopped working.
What I tried yet: -
resetted the phone to default and updated to newest android
- resetted the router to default
- changed the wifi channel and Name/Password
The strange thing is: The phone connects to every other wifi, except my home wifi. And every other phone does connect to my home wifi. It seems to be a issue between my home router and my phone. But I have no clue what else I should do.
This really sucks. I really need Wifi at home.
Thank you for your help!
well,i cant turn on the wifi option now
and it will reboot randomly as i try to turn on wifi
even i could turn on wifi still there is no signal and unable to connect to everything
BUT MY LTE WORKS VERY WELL
4G SIGNAL IS STRONG AS FXXK
Bump, seeing a similar issue with my mother's phone. Wifi works at phone for her, but not at work.
