Hey there, I brought my htc one x on contract with 3 at the start of august, the first one had a problem with the battery and had to wait to have a new one in white but eventually, I recieved one that worked. It had been great till a few weeks ago where my wi-fi has been poorer than before, everything else was fine though including my computer and few other things but my one x suddenly buffers every youtube video which take a while to load and keep pausing, the wifi disconnects every now and then but the internet along with twitter and facebook you can't always tell but it defiantly is poor at times. The Wi-fi icon at the top is full at times even when it isn't connecting well to the wifi and then always goes up and down. Always random. I tried the squeeze test which has once or twice improved it but nothing is effected by it usually, even when i downloaded the wifi analyser app, at first i squeezed it and it shot up but since then even if it says the signal is good, it still isn't. It's the youtube that is the worse, but I don't think it is just that as the wifi disconnects and goes up and down at times and just poor compared to before. Do i have this same problem though? The squeeze dosen't always work and what shall i do? Go back to the 3 store?
Really was a good phone till this problem popped up.

Hi
My WIFI seems to have gone wonky. It appears I have the 'loose antenna' issue, but have been running some other tests.
Tests were done at 2 and 5 meters from WIFI AP.
1. Run WIFI Analyzer.
2. Cup hand over the top of the phone (no squeezing, just gentle cupping, barely touching the phone).
3. Looses about 20db
4. Remove hand
5. Gains lost 20db again.
Occasionally, WIFI, just drops (and gets turned off) and get's re-enabled.
I do NOT have the 'Switch WIFI off' option ticked.
Can anyone confirm the same behavior on a perfectly working phone (and possibly one that has the WIFI issue if not fixed already).
Thanks, very much appreciated.

I've had one with the hardware wifi problem and now have one which is fine - even with the ok one, covering to top right hand corner with your hand will indeed cause the signal to drop as you describe.
Bah, this is just HTC's version of the Apple iPhone mess up they made when they completely lost signal.
Surely they should test for things like this before release?
WiFi maybe not so much, but apple and the Signal!!
I believe these are two seperate issues. I get the 'random drop' issue too, which is a real annoyance. Essentially most of the time when I try to browse I have to wait for my Wifi to 'drop', and reconnect, before I can do anything - it takes a good minute or so to do, and happens quite frequently

My poor signal issue seems to have started in the last few days. It used to be good. Where I am sitting now (about 5 meter from AP, via 2 windows), 4/5 bars I used to get, now only 1/2 bars and many more drops than I used to get.
Hi All,
I hope someone can help me on this one, I've had a good search of both this forum and the internet in general on a couple of occasions and not found anything that can help me with my specific problems.
I'm relatively new to Android, and am running a HTC One X on Orange UK, still locked and on Android version 4.0.3.
I've really been enjoying the phone (battery life excepted), but a couple of things have begun to Plague me over the last couple of days.
1) I've installed SwiftKey and a couple of months ago, a very intermittent bug started happening, where as soon as I entered a text field, the keyboard would appear as normal, and the keys would 'pop up' to show I'd hit them, I'd even get the haptic feedback, but nothing would be entered into the text field. This tended to happen without fail when I was trying to show off to iPhone-owning friends. For a month or two, this was a minor annoyance, sometimes, clearing the cache at settings>apps>all>HTC Sense would fix it, sometimes it required a reboot. However, I've just done my second reboot of the day - it's getting worse. It doesn't seem to be Swiftkey exclusive, as it's just happened to me with the Sense keyboard.
2) This is a new problem that has only cropped up since mid-last-week; The phone has started to lose WIFI connections. Connections that I know are there. My HOX will be telling me that my home router is out of range, when my nexus 7 (and my laptop, and my wife's iPad) are all happily working away on that connection whilst in the same room. I haven't done the squeeze test yet, but I'm pretty sure that it's not a loose connection as a reboot addresses the problem. The same problem occurs at work so I've ruled out my router (I restarted it for the first time in months anyway, but that hasn't stopped the problem).
The last reboot (the one that's prompted this post) took place because both issue happened at once. I've taken care of my HOX, it's faced no physical trauma, it's unrooted, I've only ever installed apps from Play store, Amazon and Humble Bundle. The phone really seems to be degenerating badly at the moment, and I'm wondering if this is down to a software upgrade. I'm wonderng this because I've noticed the phone warming up in my pocket quite a lot recently and the battery life has been worse than normal.
Any advice that anyone can offer would be much appreciated.
The wifi thing is the standard HOX fault, and it'll need to be repaired. Check out the monster thread on it.
Thanks Rusty,
I'm going to look into that tonight. I don't believe that it is a loose antenna, but I'll confirm.

So there is this one thing that have nagged me in the back of my head with my HTC One X, and it's that the WiFi sometimes (rarely) drops for a few seconds and then reconnects (at full strength), it seems random, happens both in use and when not using it, as in I unlock the phone and it's not connected to the WiFi, 3G connectivity seems to work just fine when this happens, it appears to be a WiFi only thing.
Now I'm sure this is NOT the WiFi hardware fault, the squeeze test does not make my WiFi signal die, and my brother also bought the very same phone, just another color, and it behaves similar in WiFi performance, and it too have no issue with the squeeze test, however, as my brother rarely use WiFi or browse with the phone, I haven't been able to get an answer if his phone behaves like mine does every now and then.
My router is a Netgear WNDR3700, running on Ch 11 (no one else on the channel), and other equipment such as laptops have no issues with it, so I'm wondering if this is software issue or what not, the phone is currently running stock HTC 4.0.4.
What could create this issue I wonder? I'm thinking of setting my routers beacon interval to 1000, it seems to save battery according to some threads, but I can't seem to think this is relevant here.
I have the same issue with my HTC One X+. In fact, I found this topic because I was seeing whether it was an issue (I hope it's not...).
The issue seems random, but now and then I turn on my phone screen to have no signal and then it reconnects. Not the WiFi bug and not a dodgy signal as it's strong.

Im now onto my 3rd white HOX for my wife (my grey one has been perfect!) and the second one suffered really back from wifi drops, the squeze test afaik doesnt drop the signal but make it better???? If I squeze mine it shoots up to full and when I release it, it drops back down really low. If yours and your brothers are the same maybe try another channel
I think this may be the issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1708492
Few days ago my wifi connection went strange... All the time it was perfect, i did nothing new or anything to make it worse. Since then it was fast, quick response and everything. Most apps using internet connection working fine, but some applications or all behave unnatural , especially internet browser. I use ICS Browser on 4.1.2 JB , always. Was working perfect till now. Now its loading till half of progress bar and freeze or sometimes its progress bar goes to 1/10th and freezes. If I wait a long time it finally loads the page, or not. If I press back button and then forward button it loads the page normally. Some app behave the same. Cleaning cache, reinstalling apps won't work. Today I restored Nand backup and nothing. Backup wad made few months ago when internet was super fast. What could make it worse?
If I look on little arrows indicating upload or download under wifi signal strength, they are gray like no connection is made, and once in a while orange one (download) blinks for a second and then again gray for a long time. And it should be lit orange till page loads fully or app do what it needs to do.
I did notice the same using Google Play app. I tap Install and it says Downloading, but nothing happens, but if I cancel and tap install again it works nice. In browseri have to go back and tap link again to make it work fast.
No one have same issues?

Was there any change before you noticed the issue??
You may try turning off your modem and router for 1 minute. Then power on your modem and wait for connex link to become active, then power on your router. Sometimes storms cause equipment to go wonky.
One thing I noticed with old routers for DSL used to create multiple access points using the same SID and security to boost round our house.
That the old routers needed a wee tweaking to allow for newer devices to link properly. Something to do with WIFI sleep signals. I noticed it with Broadcom cards not keeping the speeds at 150mbps and slowly trickling down to 50 to 40mbps. Once I changed the advanced features of my routers (7500 series Westell), I connect at 300mbps and stay, and have no issues with deep sleep wake ups on WIFI.
There is nothing wrong with router. It is something else.
Hi all,
After days and days of searching the web and trying everything I can, I'm still having the same issues.
I came across this forum whilst browsing and had forgotten all about it. I used to be a member many,many years ago when I used to tinker with my HTC Hero (great phone at the time).
Anyway, on to my issue....
Since my swap back to Android from ios, everything has been perfect and I haven't looked back...except this one problem and its driving me insane. Basically I have a Hikvision NVR and cameras at home and use the hik-connect app to live view and get notifications. This is where the problem is! My NVR is set to send me notifications when there is a intrusion on the front of my house and although I get the notifications,they are sometimes 5,10 or 15 mins later. Its not all the time, sometime they are instant (although not very often) and if I have my phone unlocked they also come through instantly.
I've checked everything that I can think of including the battery optimisation settings etc.
Does anyone have any ideas? After here Im giving up with it.
Samsung S20+ on EE UK

Thanks folks
Gaz
have you ever figured this out? i also use HikConnect for intercom
sometimes when a visito pressed the doorbutton, i get a delay notifations from 2-5 min or more
doesnt happen al the time
also battery optimalization is disabled
