Restart your router/accesspoint.
Cant change Netmask or DNS2
Hello,
Thank you so much for the solution but how do i change the Netmask or DSN2... When i go onto advanced settings there isnt a netmask option but Network prefix length and when i go to add the forward slash to the DNS2 it removes the Save option so cannot change the settings?
Thank again for your help!
Kind Regards
Zac
I was experiencing issues with apps being able to refresh/load content on Wifi when it would work ok on mobile data.
What I did to fix this on mine was under Settings > WiFi > Advanced
Change Best Wi-Fi Performance to ON
Even though my signal was ok before it was having issues, now it does not. I haven't noticed any huge battery differences (yet)
Thanks
When you say Restart your router/accesspoint do you mean unpluging it for 10 secs or more as i have tried that on many occasions but no luck... any other ideas? Thank you again
Thank you outofmyelement i have turned this on and already working but my battery life will tell if it is ok.. Hopefully there will be an update to fix this which will let my disable this option... Thanks Again!
Kind Regards

Hi,
use the ip from your router as dns and dns2.

...
So just to double check when you say Ip from your router... do you mean the actuall router IP or the IP of the phone?
Thanks Again! Very grateful

Yeah. If you've already done it then no need to do it again. Some routers/accesspoints have buggy firmware which means DHCP doesn't hand out IP addresses properly if it has been on for a long period of time.

changing my router's channel width from 40mhz to 20mhz fixed my wifi issues.
Thank you all for solutions you suggested.
I know assigning a fixed IP for my One X on my router would solve the problem.
The problem is, I also connect to my work's router.
And dropouts/slowdowns still exist.
My home router is Cisco LinkSys WAG120N
Anyways, HTC are aware of this bug.
Hopefully a FOTA will release to solve miscellaneous bugs including
WiFi BUg
Battery life (misplaced apk file in stock-rom)
I know people starts having FOTA with software number: 1.27 to replace the 1.26 version.
Hope it rolls soon.
Thank you all again.

At home I solved the issue by switching the router security encription type from WPA/WPA2
to WEP. No more dropouts since but still leaves the question what we do when we need to connect to a network encrypted with WPA. It's ridiculous asking around "...Pease be so kind, could you reconfigure you router settings, I've got a buggy HTC One X and need to connect...":banghead:

I haven't noticed this but every time I lock my phone WiFi turns off is there any way to stop this happening I tried the advanced WiFi setting but none seem to work on my stock hox, also I used WiFi tethering when I first got my phone thru USB teather and WiFi teather it worked fine but last night my internet was down at home so I teathered it but with no success for some reason it did not work both USB and WiFi teather failed to connect and USB was not detected on pc strangely Bluetooth wifi teather worked fine any idea what's happening?

I have been using my dhd as a wifi hotspot for my laptop for quite sometime, recently I got a nookcolor and I tried to connect to it as well. It showed that the wifi is connecter, but no internet.
I tried connecting to other sources, like a regular router, a nexus one, all works.
The settings are all default, including the DHCP being checked.
Anyone know why?
same problem I am with orange UK - wondering if just dont allow you to share your signal. I know in USA they have to pay their provider to use wifi hotspot. I posted on this before but nobody replied.
Well I persisted to try it out again, flipping around the authentication methods (None, WEP, WPA etc). Now this is the weird thing.
Gtalk/Gmail app on my nookcolor works perfectly fine. On browsers (stock, opera mini), nothing loads ....
which network are you with? and are you using stock rom?
I'm on a Singapore network, there's no restriction on tethering, and yes, I'm using stock rom (not rooted) on my desire hd, nookie froyo on my nookcolor.

I didn't want to make a new thread, so i thought i ask here.
Have any of you tried speedtest.net or the speedtest app?
If i do a speed test on my DHD it shows 4,5mbit download (HSDPA). But if i use HTC WIFI hotspot to share my phones internet connection, then i get only about 2mbit download on my laptop. Is that normal?

thanks i found another thread in same forum with the same info thx for pointing me in the right direction - completely fixed the problem - can now connect my archos 70i - sweet
So I recently got this phone and it came with Android 2.3.6
I stand next to my old school and it catches the router TP-LINK### and connects, gathers IP address and the signal bar displays as good.
Finally, when I try to access the web it doesn't seem to work and says I need to check settings. What else would I need to check? Anyone know?

So I just succesfully connected to my current school's router and the web is accessable and downloading is just perfect. That sure is a relief that it's not a problem of my phone.
Gonna try checking the static IP address option later on the other school.
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..
It has to be an encryption issue. Are you using wpa v2 ?

I had the same problem, I did two things dont know which worked but its been working over a month for 2 phones
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 feel your pain mate,
I've had the same problem. I discovered that my phone was leasing the same IP from my router over and over around every 2 minutes due to DHCP. Then, after a while the connection would be ****ed up, grey wifi bars, sometimes still blue. Everything pointed to having a working connection. But doing anything involving an internet connection on the phone resulted in NOT being connected at all. It drove me crazy aswell and after a couple of hours of Google Fu I resolved the issue by simply assigning a static IP for my phone and using Google's Public DNS servers.
Give it a try, maybe it'll work for you aswell.

Long press on your network and tap on 'modify network' - tap 'advanced setting' and scroll down a bit, there are a few more options.
To assign a static IP you should have basic knowledge on how to configure your wifi router and such. Can't really help you there, either you know what you're doing or you don't. Things differ from router to router.

Ok! Thank you very much! I do it!
EDIT: Bulls**t!!!! don't works...
Well, that's unfortunate. I'm still baffled on why it's acting up at all. My phone was fine for almost a month before it started acting up, and I didn't change anything on my phone. Same ROM... and all of the sudden, WiFi started acting all weird.
Also I just discovered that changing 'Keep WiFi on during sleep' to never, does absolutely nothing. WiFi still stays on during sleep.
I don't know... it's the same case... I restored all the phone, lock de bootloades, etc And I updated by OTA, one by one, to 4.1, when the problem begin again... grrrr
Any idea pls??
After a lot of test.... the problem is only in jelly bean 4.1.1 y check a lot of roms 4.0.4 and works right, but in jb...

My brand new G3 won't let me save any WiFi network passwords. It also says "failed to connect " for every network and has me 're enter the paraphrase every time.
Even though this happens it will connect to some networks. But in the WiFi status screen where you choose your network, it doesn't show me as connected.
Anyone else having similar issues?

I have tried that already - tried WPA2 TKIP and AES. Don't really want to lower my security any further.
Fortunately I'm not here very often, and I get 4G data with my 8GB allowance, so can always use mobile data.
Did you remove or freeze any of the LG bloatware? Stuff like Wfd services control the Wi-FI.
I also had this problem and I had to do a factory reset to fix it.
I'm having the same issue. it will connect to the open networks but wont save them. have no problem connecting to wifi that is protected though. I did freeze some apps...not sure which one did it though. probably one of the carrier iq ones if its my luck. i have the tmobile model
Just did a reset. First I did not let Google restore all the passwords and everything was connecting fine. Then I did another reset where I did let Google restore and it had the problem again. It is something to do with how Google is restoring the account.... ****ing LG messed something up

Hey, I had the same issue 2 days ago. My solution was to delete the wifi config files folder (root needed, of cause). The path is /data/etc/wifi. Before you do that you may want to turn off wifi. After a reboot everything worked fine

Ya i could have done that too but the phone was only a day old and wanted to actually figure out what was causing it. It is how google restore works on the g3. Great you found that fix though for anyone not wanting to totally start their phone from scratch again!

Need Help Still
I have been unable to connect to some Wi-Fi networks. At my work I cannot get the phone to connect to hardly anything on Wi-Fi unless I go to the other side of the building. Then sometimes it does connect and work fine for a while then all of a sudden it starts acting like it's not connected even though it shows connected and I have to reboot the phone or turn off Wi-Fi to access anything. Then after the reboot it won't connect again. It works fine at home and in other parts of my office, but not at my desk. All my other devices (laptops tablets and old phone) were able to connect here just fine. Any Ideas?

Hello,
you must edit /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf with wifi enabled. If you try this with wifi disabled, old (wrong) configuration file is restored from unknown location backup file.
I had a same problem and all passwords in config file was right. I thing that problem was in first network block. There missed SSID and PSK="NONE" while KEY_MGMT=WPA-PSK in this block.
I replace whole config file from /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf.

Ive had a few problems with wifi between different networks at work and when i updated my phone it solved the proble . I thought it was just the updat . When i had to do a hard reset for a different unrelated problem i got the problem back. However, when i went from Dalvik to ART it fixed the problem. Im figuring that something in the updating process sorts the wifi settings out and obviously its not limited to a software update but also includes optimization.
Deleting /data/misc/wifi/ wpa_supplicant.conf and p2p_supplicant.com solved the issue for me. hope this helps.
