So, I did notice Mike's message about the new RUU being used, but I read that it's supposed to have the WiFi fix within itself. (the RUU, that is). But now, after flashing the 5.2.0 my phone won't connect automatically when I turn on WiFi in the quick setting tab - I have to go to Setting > WiFi Settings to connect manually to my network, because it gives an error and it doesn't attempt an automatic reconnect. It's not really a HUGE problem, but it's kind of annoying. How can it be fixed?
EDIT: Umm, turns out I had to fix permissions with ROM Manager. It's all working fine now. Sorry for the lame question. Feel free to lock the thread.
Could you explain what you did, cause I'm dealing with the same problem right now.
My dhd doesn't connect to my wifi. For some reason it does with the wifi of a friend without any problems.
But on my wifi it doesn't connect automatically...

Well, I simply used the Fix Permissions function of ROM Manager and rebooted. It seems to be working but it bugged out again. I'm not sure exactly what's going on. All on the same network BTW.
Hi guys,
I've searched the whole forum but I couldn't find any other thread about my problem.
When I connect my HOX to WiIF (Sitecom WL-370 - 300N Gigabit Dualband Router) everything works fine at first, but after a few minutes (5, or sometimes 15 minutes) I've got no Internet anymore but I'm still connected. Also WiFI Analyzer still detects the network. I've this problem both on 2.4 GHz as on 5 GHz. I've also tried switching channels.
The strange thing is, I can still receive a WhatsApp message but I can't send any, also I can't browse on the Internet or things like that.
After turning my WiFi off and on it works fine again for the few minutes..
Best Wi-Fi performance is turned on and the other devices at home haven't got this problem.
Anyone having the same problem or knows a solution?
I've got the same problem and it seems to be totally random. What i noticed is that my Google Play Store always stops working (no connection) shortly after i turned on the phone (~10 minutes). Switching Wifi off and on again doesn't seem to change it, i need to restart my HOX to get it working again while other apps connect just fine after turning Wifi off and on again.
Edit: Stock Vodafone ROM (1.28.161.9)
I have the exact same issue and i went through every setting in my router trying to fix this.
I would turn on my WIFI, connect to my home network, and start downloading. After a few minutes it'll either stop (the dl percentage not change) and then if i reload the market/youtube/browser or any app that users the net, it'll say no connection.
The weird thing about this is that it LOOKS like i am connected to wifi (in the notification bar).
This may be a separate issue, but i tried to turn it off and then on again to get around the issue. This time around i would try to connect to my home wifi and it'll just say 'Saved' and then the network would go out of range.
I am running Leedroids rom.
I might have found a solution:
Under Settings -> Wifi -> Menu -> Extended there is an option for Wifi Power Saving. After unchecking it all my connectivity problems are gone.
May be worth trying a static IP configuration, if you know enough about ip4 to do it. I've seen problems with android Wi-Fi since version 2.2 - if your router issues an indefinite dhcp lease, it can show exactly the symptoms you describe. Only a possibility but worth a try.

I have the exact same issue - the wireless shows connected yet you cannot browse the Internet etc. I have also tried every setting on the Wireless AP without any success. Even tried static IP and that does not fix it either. Whilst other devices in the house are ok...
The weirdest thing is though it does not happen everywhere i.e. at other places like work (where at least the same type of AP is in use) or at my brothers' house (where he has a Linksys). This is pretty much the only thing that bugs me with the HTC - the only workaround I have found is to make sure that WiFi is kept on only at times when plugged in - this doesn't actually fix the issue but it does mean that the phone will disconnect the WiFi and get a new connection next time it wakes up - this way I find I get the problem much less than when I have it set to Always.

I already unchecked it but it didn't solved my problem

Yeah, exactly, I've got the same problem. At school I've got no problems with the WiFi. I already send a message to HTC and I'm waiting on there answer.
I have kinda the same issue.
Using a HOX and at work I'm connected to Wifi and I can browse. At my house I can connect to the wifi, my IP is right that I'm getting from DHCP (I even tried putting in a static IP) but I can't browse
I also have a HTC Sensation, same setup and it works. The sensation can browse at work and at my house.
Why would this be?
Tried all sorts of solutions, but the only one that works is disabling the N-band and only leave B and G. This means that your laptop won't connect with the faster N, but at least the HOX works (what's more important )
Well I tried broadcasting a separate SSID on the b/g interface only for the exclusive use for the hox but that hasn't made any difference...my workaround is to have tunein radio in the background streaming whilst surfing...if I get bored of that solution my next workaround will be to trade the hox for an s3 as much as I despise TW...

I tried all the bands "B, G, N" and nothing works. So tired of this crap. Think I might just get a S3

I was thinking to do the same but there is no chance in hell of me doing that after I compared my HOX with a display model at the phone shop. Pentile screen vs LCD on the HOX? HOX = Sharper and better whites - the white on the S3 is bluish and so obvious. Another thing also I noticed is that the aggressive auto brightness on the S3 is too much - you won't tolerate it and you will likely be forced to manually adjust all the time. That plus reading that the S3 goes through the battery like no mans business when on standby unless you turn off all the features and put it in power save mode (might as well buy a Nokia then) at least the HOX uses the Ninja core and actually does save your battery in standby mode.
Anyway - the reason I replied is that I found a workaround (note, workaround does not mean a fix) - I put in a wifi extender in an area where I tend to spent most of my time with the HOX - this has not fixed the problem per se but rather seems to have elevated it somewhat. Basically now if the HOX drops from the main offending AP it automatically gets hooked up on to the extender and carries on working! I say this because (and I saw this only twice so far) I realised that when the phones Internet connection stops and you load a new page it timed out and get page cannot be found but when I hit refresh it works again you do notice a 3-4 second lag (this never happened before the extender came into play). Not sure if anyone else has tried this but I got a Linksys/Cisco extender for £69 and so far at least it has given me a workaround. Of course your mileage may vary...so don't splash out on an extender and come and blame me if it doesn't work for anyone here...
I am also having this issue with my HOX has anyone found a fix for this?
i have tried everything listed and nothing works.
its weird though because i have NO issues on my home network, but my network in my apartment here and at work network i get this issue
!!
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbuuuuuummp any fixes??? this sucks !!!!
What versions of android you guys have? Stock, sense, vanilla android, ics, jelly bean? Because I didn't encounter this problem when running stock or ics custom roms. After I updated hboot to 1.31 and tried different jelly bean sense roms it appeared. I also tried some stock android roms (ice cold jelly and liquid smooth) and wifi seemed to work fine. So is this sense problem only?

No workaround so far, at least i have not founf a way.
Hi guys,
Recently I just got myself a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-N5110. Everything worked well for the first few days. However, on one day, the icon of WiFi on my tablet said it was off so I tried to switch it on but it seems like it cannot turn on the Wi-Fi at all. I tried to reset the tablet several times. But nothing helped. That annoying issue still exists. So hope you all could help me. Thanks in advance
Your wifi module may have gone bad. Check to see if you see WiFi scanning when you enable it. If you don't see any names listed or for some reason it jumps out of the scanning screen, it is not able to communicate with the WiFi module. May have been dropped.
I got the 5.1 OTA on my nexus 7 and a few days later I was trying to use it and wifi wasn't working. I disconnected and reconnected and it still wasn't working. I checked my phone (on the same wifi network) and it worked fine, so I power cycled the nexus 7 and wifi worked perfectly once it came back. Has anyone else seen this sort of problem (so far it is just the one time)?
Hi,
I found no similar thread, only one with wifi issues while bluetooth is turned on. Since a few weeks my wifi disconnects all the time and is very slow. It does not matter if bluetooth is turned or turned off. After the update to Android pie it was definitely working for some time. I tried a factory reset without success. I did not test a different router but this can't be the issue. All other devices are working great. At the moment my phone is unusable at home. I have to turn off the mobile data because it disconnects every few seconds and uses my mobile data... My device is stock and not rooted (my first one since a very long time...). I found a few articals on other pages but without any solution. I waited for the april update but it did not fix anything for me
