WIFI seems to perform excellent on this phone and works flawlessly at home. When at work though I have to toggle wifi on and off maybe 3 times an hour. Work uses EAP and I'm thinking this is the culprit. This is the first phone I've had this problem with. Like I said it doesn't do it at home which does not use EAP.
Anyone else experiencing anything similar? By the way I looked into the wifi region fix and didn't think it applied to this situation.
Without knowing more about how the wifi infrastructure is configured, it would be hard to pin point. There are quite a few people using EAP without issue. Can you give any more details?

I don't know what else to say. Without having access to even the location of the router I won't be able to gather much info. I work at a huge facility with router antennas sticking out of the ceiling. I most definitely won't be able to access the configuration settings of the routers either. I don't know what other info I can provide other than its EAP and I use a user name and password to log on

Logcat then you would know for sure. At least it may be some sort of indication
I have the same problem. My g2 would connect to the eap network at work fine, but my galaxy nexus does not with the same exact settings
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Mine connects just fine on the first try but sometimes the internet just won't work. I'll show like 2-3 bars and they are blue but nothing works. Have to toggle wifi to get it back.
Maybe it has to do with me moving from one room to another and the connection drops with no indication? I can not for the life of me figure out how to use log cat! And I've tried many times in the past!
does someone found a solution to this issue?
I am also looking for a solution to get connected with my office wifi network
I'm still having this problem for the record. Different kernels and roms. Only happens at work.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge but can you please explain more in detail what this means?
Unless someone compiles it into aosp from the master branch, you won't really have eap support. I am sure it will be in next ota.

I think it was a mistake, rather than intentional.
So no real solution for the moment...
It seems that changing some con wifi files can solve issue but i was not able to identify the good ones

Any solution at all, even temporary would be great
Constantly having to enable and disable wifi to get my connection back is the only thing about his phone I can not stand.
Yes, even a temp solution will be great until it get fixed by Google..

Did you try EAP rather than WPA2?

Hi Everyone,
I am facing an unusual issue. Tried searching a lot if anyone else is facing anything similar, but I guess I'm the only one.
I've been trying to use the WiFi hotspot feature since a last few days, but it doesnt work properly. When I scan for wifi networks from any other device, it shows the wifi name of my portable hotspot. On entering password and everything, it says connected. Now, when I try to access internet on the wifi device, it doesnt work. The data arrows on my One X do flash, but there is no data received at the wifi device end.
I've tried to use my portable hotspot with following devices (one at a time) till now: PS Vita (wifi only), the new iPad (iPad3, wifi only), and my sister's HP laptop. Same problem with all three devices.
I've tried following settings as well:
1) Using default SSID with no password
2) Using default SSID with password (both WEP and WPA)
3) Changing SSID to something else, with and without password protection
Internet (3G), otherwise, is working perfectly fine on my HTC One X, in fact i am able to receive emails and access internet on my phone during the wifi hotspot activated and devices connected to my phone.
I have the latest OTA update (for India) installed on my phone, i.e. 1.28.720.10
The problem was there before also (previous firmware), and after the recent OTA update, it still remains.
Can anyone help me get rid of this issue? Or maybe suggest some workarounds.
There's one thing that i'm planning to do...i saw a post on xda forum where someone has posted apk files for all preinstalled apps on HTC One X. I can try an install the wifi hotspot app again, maybe that works.
got the same problem here, have u found a solution?
Try using this: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta14.apk
I am using android hd2. Hotspot is not working in sense so I use wifi tether. It works very well.

I had exactly the same issue with my T-Mobile HTC One X - after years of successful WiFi hotspot use with my old HTC Desire.
Whilst investigating the APN setting suggestions posted here I noticed that I was actually connected to the T-Mobile Orange network and not the T-Mobile network.
I switched to plain old T-Mobile and a moment later my laptop reported internet connectivity. Go figure.
I never had that problem on the Desire but at least I have a few workarounds now... thanks for the advice everybody.

I've had the issue where if I tether another Android device to it the tethered device can't access the Play store while mine can. Everything else works fine, just no Play store access for anyone connected to my hotspot.
Has anyone encountered this issue?

Hi
i am using one x(India) ....i hv got the same problem..!
hotspot connects and laptop shows internet connection but am unable to use the internet. unable to open webpages or anyother internet activity.
is their a setting for laptop i should do ? becuase hotspot is working in other device.
help would be really appreciated.
Thanks
PS laptop is HP DV6000 series.
I do have a similar problem with hotspot.
the hotspot icon will not appear after switching it on but i can still see the hotspot from my laptop and connect to it, but there is no internet.
I have tried to rename the name to "Consumer Broadband" but it`s the same.
Do i need to delete the old VPN and make the new one?
I`m not rooted yet.
FYI: Tethering/hotspot doesn't work with IPv6 yet
I know this problems is solved, but for other that may find this helpful...I was having some similar issues. Using the hotspot, I could connect my phone to my tablet but it wasn't connecting to the internet. My problem was that I had set up an IPv6 APN on my phone and didn't realize that tethering/hotspot does not work on IPv6 yet. I switched back to the default APN and it works fine.

Hi Vincepg13,
I also have had this problem, but since I read your post regarding changing the APN (Access Point Names) setting to the name 'Consumer Broadband' it has allowed me to use the Wi-Fi Hotspot feature on my Branded T-Mobile UK HTC One X device. I am so grateful for your diagnostic for this situation that really was a nuisance. I feel at ease that I can finally use my device to tether with other device which have Wi-Fi Only or do not have a Mobile Data on-board. My One X has a new use that I had on a previous HTC device, so glad I can use it effectively.
Advice for others who are doing this make sure you spell the 'Consumer Broadband' correctly and I would highly recommend that you take screen shots of the current APN, so you can match all the settings correctly. Also do not delete the current APN, if you do take Sim card out of tray, restart your phone and replace the Sim card, it should automatically set up a APN for your network. Furthermore this should also work for all other UK networks. I can not confirm for other countries because I am from the United Kingdom.
Once again thank you to Vincepg13. :good:

HTC Hotpot Issue Resolved!!!
After searching so many days. i found the solution accidentaly
My Simple Answer is "Disable LAN" on Desktop
How You Do That?
open network and sharing center >> change adapter settings >> Local Area Connection (Right Click to Disable)
then connect your desktop with your htc hotspot
See the magic. Like my answer if it work for you as well
My phone will not connect to my DLink router, it keeps saying Obtaining IP address and after about 1min a pop up comes up and says weak signal can't connect. but i have 3 bars on the signal meter, i'm sitting right in front of the router and it won't connect. and i have my phone set to auto connection in wifi settings.. any ideas??
this happens on LF2 and LF9 modem if that matters..

1. was give your phone a dedicated IP
2. was I changed the lease time to 30days
Occasionally I have to turn off and on the internet to search for my router and it works in 10secs but thats a lot better than no IP
Hope it works for you also.

I would change to wpa v2 just cuz it is more secure than wep and its more accepted with newer devices and has faster link speeds. Google your router and wpa v2 if you need further guidance.

I got it fixed and heres how.
Go to wifi, then advanced wifi, tap wifi frequency band, choose either 5 ghz only or 2.4ghz only.
When I picked 2.4 ghz it instantly connect my wifi hope this helps.
So I know there are quite a few threads out there about wifi tether. The general concensus is that WiFi Tether is the best app to use, however I've found that very particular settings are needed to get this to work. While I am not a dev and have not had sucess in getting this app to work on our phone. I thought I would start a thread for those who have had success using the application in hopes that they could share their settings with the rest of us so we can take advantage of 4g as it continues to roll out. I have also tried Barnacle and not had any success either.
I found this on another thread, it was a couple pages deep so I'm reposting here, please swing over to other thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2138144&highlight=wifi+tether&page=2 #13 and give jdock a thanks for his fix. This works, but there is currently a bug in JB that only allows one tether session per boot. Once you disable wifi tether, it will not work again until you reboot the device
TY jdock
Try this:
device profile = generic ics/jb (wlan0)
setup method = netd-ndc (master)
wifi driver reload = checked
enable wifi encryption = unchecked (you can enable it later when it's working unencrypted)
enable access-control = unchecked (you can enable it later when the basics are working)
Now, when I first started with this app, my devices would connect to the AP but then give up because they couldn't get a dhcp address. I found that if I went into the 'change lan' menu and picked a different lan, that it started working (I currently use 10.10.3.0/24).
If you can't get it working, I came up with another method you may be able to use that does not use any app (I have the at&t model but it's probably the same). Basically you turn off wifi, then run a few commands (as root) that bring the wifi interface back up without disabling mobile data. It will connect to your local wireless lan as if you had enabled wifi. Then you can run a socks or http proxy and point your other device at it (easy if you're wanting to tether a pc, maybe not so easy if you're using something else). I haven't tried yet to see if it will route between the networks, which would mean you can just manually change your default gateway to your phone's wlan address and have all traffic go through it.

I hope you get some answers. I haven't been able to get this app to work on by GNex on JB 4.2.1 OR 4.2.2 using 4 different ROMs. The app doesn't seem to have been updated in many months, and I'm assuming that it won't work on JB in any form.

I'm on a JB rom now, and it does work. See the directions I posted from another thread in the OP and wifi tether will work. However, once you turn off wifi tether you will need to reboot the phone for wifi and data to function normally.
Even when Wi-Fi tether runs "with errors" it still works... for some reason my phone doesn't heat up as much when I run with errors -- probably had something to do with the Wi-Fi driver that the app reloads.

My wifi tether setup has no issues with data not working and I can turn it off and on without problems. I've used the phone for calls, texts, and internet after using wifi tether. The only issue is that you cannot turn wifi on after running tether. Once rebooted wifi will turn back on until I use tether again. I'm on a stock rooted JB rom.
Generic ics/jb Wlan0
Netd ndc master
Send Netd max client cmd checked
wifidriver reload checked
Router fix checked
Wifi fix checked
I have access control checked as well but that doesn't matter.
I've yet to be able to get this app working. I've tried these setting before and several other settings to no avail. When I try these, everything but the first item in the log and the last two say they failed. Now it does broadcast it's SSID and I can join the network, but there is no data connection.
I'm on stock Jelly Bean rom. The funny thing is, I used Wifi tether app on Lifeless and Imperium and it worked with a few different settings.

Glad to see other people are able to contribute. I'm not a developer so not much I can do except dig around other forums and see what helps. I'm using Imperium Initiative v2.0.1 with wifi tether, with the settings in my op. Maybe there are some adjustments in imperium/lifeless that cause this to work. I will try the file posted and report back to see if I can re-enable wifi after disabling tether.

This one works for me with these settings:

Send Netd max client cmd - checked
Enable WiFi-Encryption - checked
WiFi-driver reload 2 - checked
Enable Access-Control - checked (If this is checked the first time the client connects, you have to grant it access from your phone. You'll notice a new icon on the top of your phone where all of your running program icons are. When you see it just pull down the list and select it and check your client and then hit apply)​Routing fix - checked
Hope this helps
something probably worth mentioning on this, I'm currently on Lifeless 14, and the connections optimizer was screwing with this app. I turned it off and it worked like a charm.
Not of concern to anyone AOSP/AOKP/CM/PA but for stock/lifeless/imperium(i think) this is worth looking into for some folks.

Well since it seems the tethering problem hasn't been remedied yet (touchy and have to restart), has anyone figured out a way to get around sprint's throttling? Unfortunately I for the life of me can't get my MSL, and also unfortunately I hate using the phone to call sprint. hrm.
May I suggest jellybeer? Tethering is built in!

So myself and the wife are at Applebee's. She gets on WiFi no issues and I can't. See below screen shots. I even rebooted my device to no avail. Mine was always unstable and would drop. Hers was solid see.pics below. Mines the N900T and hers is the N900A. Both using Att sim cards.
I'm thinking Samsung used different chip sets sources for their wifi.

Doubtful that they used different chipsets. So you are both on stock roms, or have you been flashing stuff on yours?
Have you already factory reset your phone? A lot of people have had minor issues and flashing stock firmware or factory reset has helped some issues.

Me too I hate it... That and the range my phone has is terrible

Sitting by pool, about 60ft and 3 walls from the access point. SSID name is "Disconnected" (really messes with the neighbors). Access point is well sitted, up high in my home office fairly new with current firmware..
You can see the 5Ghz version of the AP in the list as well.
You might have to go back to factory rom, or turn your wifi off and disable always scanning. It may be trying to find a better network.

My range is very respectable. But unfortunately today I discovered this issue. It would very slowly connect then disconnect even quicker. Two stock phones on same WiFi in my neighborhood grill lol.

Unfortunately, i think its just the hardware. Your phone might have two antennas and if you find your correct kernel, you could change it to run off the best antenna possible. might take some testing and such. if all else fails go to your service provider for a evaluation

Thanks for taking the time to look into this. I never really had WiFi issues before until today in the restaurant. If it wasn't for my wife having the same phone I would have addsumed it was the stores router.

Your quite welcome, always glad to help. My old Galaxy would malfunction the same way sometimes. Sometimes between my router and the neighbors and Other times on random hotspots. Sometimes you may have to go in the browser and accept a terms of use. If you figure out the problem, send me a pm.
Cheers - Colgan

Yes, correct. Once after connecfting to the Wifi Router I need to launch the stock Samsung browser to accept their terms and conditions, this process in itself takes about 5 mins or hangs proir to terms and conditions screen it boots me off the WiFi and says its unstable or too slow per my original post.
Its just that theres too many people on the network, Thats the only issue. It mainly does this on public networks. So it is not a phone problem its a client network problem :thumbup:
I had this briefly on my home WiFi. Wasnt a client network as I allow 10 objects to be on mine. Its water under the bridge but that is a possibility on a public network.
sent from my sm-9005.
I had this problem in spades.
It has nothing to do with a public hotspot or router.
I'm not entirely sure it's not on some type of pattern yet, like 7 or 8 days.
I'll bet you that if you had powered off your phone for a few minutes and turned it back on, the problem would have been gone.
I am pretty sure this is something going on with the Radios in these phones.
Everytime mine gets flaky it usually resolves with a power down for a few minutes.
The other problem I've seen is that if I shut down wifi a number of times in a row because I want to use Mobile data, it will then start not staying connected when I want to use it.
I have to power off and power on and re enter the WPA2 password.
After seeing another thread with some other strange issues, I'm convinced there is a HW or SW issue related to the wifi radio.
I have seen the message exactly like you have here on a AP at my house that only has 2 clients on it and performs flawlessly.
It wouldn't connect to attwifi at Sam's yesterday for some reason.
This is one of the reasons I won't ROM it yet either. I'm still not convinced that it might not go home to the mothership at some point.
I am just curious if anyone else is having trouble with wifi calling after the update? I can't get mine to connect at all. Sometimes nothing ever happens and sometimes I get an error message ER081.. I googled it and only the Note 4 I believe is reported of having this issue and it was fixed by doing something to the router. I don't think that is the case for me because Ive reset them twice. I reset my phone too. I called TMo and they're clueless. Any ideas??

Just chiming in to say I'm having identical issues. Tried multiple wifi routers (work, friend's place, etc), none work. Unfortunately I don't have any advice beyond what you already mentioned (factory reset).
Questions:
Was your update OTA? I used LG mobile support tool.
Do you think re-downloading/installing the update would be worth trying? My first thought is no. Basically if 99% of functions are working then it seems unlikely there was an error in download/install steps...

So I found out it was my modem from Time Warner Cable. I ran some speed tests on my wifi and it was running extremely slow. I was still getting decent internet speeds on all my devices, but I guess it was slow enough to mess up wifi calling. It turns out they upgraded the firmware around the same time I reflashed 5.0. It was more of a matter of coincidence. Try to have your internet provider factory reset your modem and re-tune the wifi channels.
I have same issue too.
I used LG Mobile support tool too.
my sd card wasn't recognized by g3 at first, so I format the card and now it works.. I just need to fix this wifi calling, and heavy battery usage...
also, when I go check setting, it's pretty much stuck on enabling... and when I mess with VoLTE toggle, sometimes I get error message, 99
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just got off phone with T-Mobile, tech support said, it's known issue, and temp fix is to get OTA via text msg and engineers are working on the backend to fix the issue.

I am having the same problem with the wi-fi calling....if anyone find out the solution please post
I got the problem resolved
I had the similar issue on my LG G3 after Android 5.0 upgrade. This is because of wifi calling upgrade from 1.0 to 2.0 included in this android update.
I called T-Mobile support and they reset the APN settings over the phone. Issue is fixed now. Great!:highfive:
Just call T Mobile support at 611 and you will get your issue resolved. ( Don't play around with your home router! )

Well when I called 611 they tried everything and I still had the issue, they were about to do a device trade in because they couldn't figure it out. Might work for some, not me though.
If any of you want to roll back to kitkat I found a website that showed how to do it and it worked. I am getting alerts to upgrade but will wait til the bugs are fixed
I can't post the link because I haven't made 10 posts yet but if you are interested message me for the link and then maybe you can post if you posted more than 10 times
i called tmobile about this they said LG is aware of it and is working on a fix, when i asked them about hte APN they said nothing they could do on their end....
Just curious, is wifi calling working for anyone after 5.0? I've tried a bunch of APNs no luck. Thanks

Yeah that's what I had to do. I had Time Warner factory reset it. I have the Tmo cellspot router hooked up to the TWC modem and it wasn't working initially either. After they reset it and tuned the signal mine started working with no hiccups.
Try turning wifi off and wifi calling off. Then turn wifi on and wifi calling back on then see if it will work..

I spoke to T Mobile today concerning the WIFI calling not enabling. They stated that they are aware and have been working with LG to get a fix. But there is no time frame for the fix. However, I have a work around that helps me out.
1. Go to settings >> Networks and tap Airplane Mode.
2. Wait for Airplane mode to enable, and, wifi states "Connections not allowed".
3. This is important! Read carefully. otherwise this will not work. While Airplane mode is enabled, enable wifi. Wait! When Airplane Mode goes from being gray to bold then disable Airplane mode.
4. Wait a few seconds and wifi calling will come one.
Mine did stopped working as soon as i upgraded to LP. Went into T-Mobile and got a new sim.
