wireless issues (intermittent)

anyone got weird intermittent wireless issues?
Every now on then, and then seemingly only on some apps, wireless network connectivity will come to a crawl and / or seemingly stop completely. Apps time out etc. but I know the network is fine as my flatmate's galaxy nexus / my laptop remain fine. The most common culprit is the play store. I turn off wireless and go on HSPA, wait a while, go back to wireless, all good.
Also, once I had to kill chrome beta to fix it.
What gives?

I am having some minor wifi issues too, but i think they are slightly different from wintermute's problem.
Both my wifes and my One X won't reconnect to our wifi after returning to the house. The only way I have been able to get them to re-connect is to reboot the router.
The One X's try to reconnect appear to, then instantly disconnect and just keep cycling. Turning the wifi off and on doesn't seem to help.
Our Asus transformer and the laptop don't seem to have any issues if taken out of wifi range and then moved back in.

Hi there's a few forum posts about this. A number of us has had this issue...the One X would not have good WiFi speeds, or would completely stop whereas all other WiFi enabled devices on the same network at the same time would be fine. A reboot of the router seems to fix this for most of us. Doesn't quite make sense why the One X would be affected by a wifi issue but not other devices, but seems to do the trick for most people. Its been 7 days now since I had my One X, and since rebooting the router, the wifi issues have not returned.

I'm a cisco tech in real life and trust me its not my wireless setup... proof is that all other droids work fine (my old nexus, atrix my flatmate's galaxy nexus etc.) unless there is some super esoteric setting that the HTC one requires
having said that I have rebooted my WAP a couple of times (in addition to tweaking my router a bit re: IOS firewall, some tcp-mss tweaks I was using etc.) and it does seem better. Still at a loss to understand why no other device has any issues except for this

I'm seeing wifi drop and reconnect all the time on my One X.
Signal strength isn't an issue, I'm sat 3m from the AP however their are lots of wifi networks in this building so could be an issue with interference...
I don't have any issues with my laptop or old Desire on this wifi..
I see the same issues at the office but again their are lots of wifi networks at that location too...

Hi there,
I had a problem with my HOX and my German Fritzbox Router...it would connect, but then not letting any data through...and then even disable the whole WiFi signal so that my laptop, ps3 and Samsung Tab did not get a connection anymore...reset of the Fritzbox was necessary....loads of HOX user reported the issue in a German forum, and one suggested to set the WLAN signal from b+g+n 2.4 to only b+g 2.4 and voila....problem has disappeared...price is that connex max at 54 Mbits now...but I can live with that...try it...maybe it solves some people's WiFi issues...until someone or HTC themselves figure out a working solution with a full wireless n support...

I am experiencing the same issues but with the one s, not the WIFI ones the actual network stops all of a sudden and usually within 1 minute comes back.
It happens about once a day.

The only real problem I have is with the WLAN stick which I use on my pc as hotspot. My Phone connects but after a few minutes I have to restart WLAN on phone so it works again. With the router at my parents home (Fritz-Box) I dont have this problem. I use connectify lite on my pc. With the built-in hotspot in windows 7 it just wont work out. Maybe someone else have this kind of issue and knows a solution.

I have the same problem at home and at work.
Disabling WiFi-N on the AP fixes the problem.
At the office we have Netgear WNAP210 and at home I have a Draytec Vigor 2710VDn

Can't quote xda app giving me invalid thread id error, but I have the same exact issue at work, the linksys wag120n router I use as wap, connected to a net gear router, most times when the phone disconnects, and only the hox, it takes down the internet for even those pcs connected directly to the net gear router, strangely I only need to reboot the linksys router to get things working again.... Weird.
I think the hox is doing something, like sending repeated dhcp requests (as in a bug on hox) and taking out the dhcp server. Although of course various routers would behave differently to this. My home network is fine. Not affected ever.

Make HTC One X wifi hotspot without data plan

Hi,
I have a problem ... I get 5 bar wifi signal in every room apart from my bedroom ;( (0-2 bars in my room)
I'm a student so I'm currently living in an apartment and get free wifi (it's really fast [D/L speedtested at 46mbps] so I don't want to change)
So, I want to know... is there ANY WAY to make my HTC One X relay the wifi signal to me? So basically the one x would act as a wifi hotspot using the wifi signal (NOT USING ANY DATA CONNECTION) from the living room so my laptop gets full 5 bars
Is this possible? Because currently it says I can only use my phone as a wifi hotspot if I have a data connection)
I have the international quad core version of the HTC one x, android 4.0.3 (I didnt update because I heard the adobe flash player stops working and I like watching videos on webpages so I don't want that to stop working)
Any helpful responses would be appreciated

I don't believe that the phones wifi can be connected to the home wifi and run hostspot at the same time. If you were sending through lots of data the phone would heat up and you would have to leave it half way between the router and pc. Much better off buying a dedicated wifi extender.

Or use a "powerline" adapter. They kick a$$.
Ethernet over electrical cables.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I thought of that, but unfortunately the router is in an unknown place in a large apartment, most likely in a room which is restricted from random residents, and to connect a wifi range extender would mean i have to press the button on the router followed by the button on the extender which isn't possible... (unless you know a certain model which boosts every wifi signal in the area including the one I need?)
Anyway, going back to the HTC One X, if I root my HTC one x, is there any chance this will become possible? That I can use my htc one x as a wifi bridge for a wifi network to my laptop

You could get a cheap older Linksys router such as the WRT54GL and put on dd-wrt firmware on it (like flashing a ROM on a phone) and configure it in extender mode. You don't need to touch the original router at all, just need to know the SSID/passkey

Or get youraelf a small mobile repeater. Comes in handy in other situations as well.
Something like this: www.amazon.de/gp/product/B004U8SFBE/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00

well ... how to flash settings into a router (i've never changed the ROM on my htc as it's always been enough for me)
anyway, the problem should be solved soon... my laptop already has a decent wifi chip ([intel.com/content/www/us/en/wireless-products/centrino-advanced-n-6235.htm]) i ordered a high gain USB adapter for my laptop (amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-TL-WN822N-300MBPS-Wireless-Adapter/dp/B003VIY03Q/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1349640373&sr=8-136)
hopefully that will solve the problem... if it doesn't, then i really will have to get a router and configure it
thanks for all the help

[Expert advice needed] [HELP Reqd] Wifi connecting but not working...why?

I updated my HOX to ViperX JB with hBoot 1.31.
But now, it connects to WiFi router but the internet doesnt work. It works sometimes, else the internet is not working. I tried on another router at a different place, but it is not working. Also i updated hBoot to official 1.39 also, but the problem persists. Restarting the router several times and clean install of the rom didnt help. The boot.img is also from the same rom and all else works fine . What could be the problem? please someone guide me.
After a few posts down, there is another person with same issue.....

i have had similar issues since moving to official JB and HTC aren't that helpful, just say must factory reset the device and see what happens - have now installed viper 3.3.1 and get the same problem - never had the problem when i was on ics - get full signal - and using wifi analyser also shows full - tried on 2.4ghz and 5ghz - it just wants to stop transferring data - if i disable wifi and reset it then it works fine for a while before no data transfer again
i've even re-configured one of my access points with a different name and set the phone to auto-switch to strongest signal, but that don't work either

i'm still in discussion with HTC on this - i purchased my phone in May 2012 and it wasn't until late June that HTC acknowledged the problem

Some routers will give you a bit of **** when trying to connect to them, had a similar issue when trying to connect to my Belkin N at home and fixed by:
1.Open command prompt on your notebook that is connected to your wireless network and type "ipconfig/all"
2.Make a note of your Default Gateway ie 192.xxx,.x.x
3. On your HOX whilst connected to your wireless network go into settings press on wifi.
3.Long press on your wireless network name.
4.select modify network and select "show advanced options"
5.Make sure "none" is selected in proxy settings.
6.Make sure "static" is selected in ip settings.
7.The default gateway you noted should be entered into IP address on your phone however change the last number so if the last number is 2 change it to a 3 to keep in your routers address range.(Make sure it isnt the same as DNS 2 on your phone)
7.Enter the Default Gateway you noted in gateway on your phone as is.
8.Set network prefix length to 24.
9.In DNS 1 on your phone enter the Default Gateway address you noted as is.
10.In DNS 2 on your phone enter the Default gateway settings you noted however the last number should be changed to the following number so if the number is a 2 change to a 3.

I am having the exact same issue, was having it with ICS too! However i think its router dependant because here in my apartment in finland i get the issue, but back home on my router at home it doesn't happen at all! Its definately not a hardware problem it has something to do with software or configuration. Is there an official bug identified by HTC that we can track or something? Its so annoying having to disable wifi cause you know if you leave it enabled you won't get whatsapp notifications after a while
oh also for the record the same router that my OneX stops sending/receiving data from has no issues with my older desire HD, wifi works on it perfectly

@mathrania, Thank you for opening the thread. i have the same problem of yours and we live in the same city!
@all
I have the same exact problem of the OP's.
WiFi has perfect signal, Perfectly connected but data transfer just does not happen. I need to turn WiFi Off and then ON to get the connection working and then in a minute the problem comes back!
I am running stock JB 4.1.1 and my phone's mother board has been recently changed last week by HTC.
Adding to this JB 4.1.1 does not connect to Enterprise networks which is a well known issue in android 4.1.1 which makes me unable to connect my phone in office... so it's like completely un usable wifi.

I may not completely agree that it is a router issue because i have my nexus 7 which in-fact helped me to identify that my phone suffers a problem.
Even my Sony Xperia Arc works fine..

Yes it definitely is annoying, i too had the same issue with ICS ... but i took it so seriously, it was my nexus 7 which made me realize that i have a problem.. the notifications were there on the N7 and the HOX slept nicely without anything :-/
The service center before replacing my motherboard claimed that it works fine. i would not agree and sent it back, i had an unlocked bootloader and they took special approval to change the motherboard and still the same problem!

Thanks for the advise.. i would definitely love to have a solution for the issue. If i remember correctly i had the problem even on my office network.. in other words, was just wondering if you had the problem in all networks ?
Again to make the issue more clear, the WiFi gets connected, however the data transfer dies in sometime, at the same point of time the signals are clear and strong.
i can be 100% sure that this issue is not the same as the famous manufacturing issue with HTC one X as i got my motherboard replaced last week for the same problem and still face the issue.

i should say that this problem has become more evident after the Jelly bean update. I think back and recollect that this problem was there in ICS but in Jelly bean it is noticeable very easily.

I believe your right that you have a different issue to the infamous grip of life wifi issue.
If you did suffer the grip of life problem you would struggle getting a connection with your/any router, (unless you squeezed your phone) you don't struggle connecting to the router so don't do the "squeeze test" or it could damage the phone further.
I'm no expert with your issue, but if it happens on stock rom then it could be hardware related, but you already know this.
Best of luck and sorry I can't help further.

pretty sure its not hardware related because it doesn't happen on all routers/networks. If you've only tested it on one or two then try on a couple others and see. for me it only occurs on one or two out of about a dozen wifi networks

HTC One X WiFi Issues since Jelly Bean

Hello everyone,
since the 4.1.1 update my HOX is behaving weird on WiFi, the signal is always strong, so I doubt it is a hardware fault. But even though the signal is excelent, the throughput seems to be very limited most of the time. Restarting WiFi sometimes helps for a limited time, sometimes doesn't help.
I tried all options on my phone and it didn't help. Switched my WiFi to 5GHz only, also didn't help.
My device is stock on 4.1.1 with Hboot 1.39 and Relocked. I use an AVM Fritz Box 7270v3 as a router.
Anyone with the same expirience?
Regards

Let me guess! Software number 3.18.401.1 ?

Since I updated, FoxFi/PDA Net+ stopped working.

I'm on a 3.19 based ROM atm. At home the situation improved a little. The throughput is poor, but at least a tiny bit of internet makes it through.
At a friends house, my HOX even manages to kill the WiFi throughput for other devices in the network until I restart the router.

For me setting a static i.p for my HOX seems to have improved the Wifi signal on JB. Maybe give that a try?

same for me, very stable connection.

Got a problem since this weekend, it won’t connect to my home wifi anymore.
It’s going in a loop of: Authenticating, Obtaining IP address, then it says poor wifi connection and starts again..
But the signal strength is excellent, I’m standing a few feet away from the router.
My other phone and tablet have no problem. And I didn’t change anything on my oneX that could explain this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Try turning off 'Avoid Poor Connections' in Adnaced WiFi settings.....

There's no such setting.
I tried to setup a static IP address, phone then connects, but act like it's not (can't connect to any server,etc...)
I'll try to connect to another wifi somewhere and see if it does the same.

[Q] Poor wifi signal

Sooo I've had my M8 for nearly a month now and I love the thing. However, I notice that I've been having some issues with the M8 not being able to detect or connect to my home and office's wifi. My laptop and my fiance's Nexus 5 can detect our home wifi network with full strength.
Interestingly, the closer I get to my router, the stronger the signal gets, but the moment I move maybe 20 feet away into another room, the wifi cuts out or gets very weak. I understand that distance is a factor, but I feel that my M8 should be able to connect to my router in the next room, especially when other devices can do so with no problem.
I think it's also worth noting that this was not always an issue. This only started happening recently - the only software upgrade that I did was the Verizon push that installed right out the box. I have not made any changes to my wifi network at home or work.
I've tried a couple of things with no resolution, including;
Resetting my router (power cycling)
Restarting my phone
Forgetting both wifi networks and manually re-adding them
Changing my wifi direct name
Turning on airplane mode, turning off my wifi, turning off airplane mode then turning on wifi (this was a suggested method for the M7 that I saw on another forum)
I did some Googling and didnt find much, so maybe I just have a lemon, but I did see that wifi connectivity was an issue with the M7.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I'm having the exact same problem getting over 20Mbps over Ethernet but then 0.25Mbps on my M8 over WiFi even when close to router

Have you guys played around with your routers settings?
What signal is your router on, wireless b,g,n,ac?
Is it throwing mixed frequency? (2.4ghz or 5ghz or both)
Go to WiFi settings in the phone, then advanced, then it will probably say "auto".
Try setting it on only 2.4ghz or only 5ghz see if that helps.
