Hi guys, got an issue with my phone recently, 3G/H has been extremely slow using web browsing apps lately.
It's fine on other apps and if I run an app like speedtest or even facebook in the background the web app will run fine as long as speedtest is doing its thing.
I have no issue when on wifi.
Reseting the phone and clearing app data makes no difference.
My phone has the latest software.
Was fine till about 3 weeks ago.
Phone is 3 months old, this is the first issue.
Have tested with stock browser, dolphin and chrome.
I think this is a really strange issue.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam.
may be the problem of the telecom operators
I had the same probs up to a couple of days ago but since i updated to the latest radio (2.1204.127.19) my internet connection probs have gone...
not sure if that's your solution though as you say you have the latest software ... ?
Hello don't you have a data limitation ?
I have 1 Go data limitation. After that my browser seems to be slow but it's because i'm limited in data bandwith.
I don't have anymore my full speed until next month ...
Make sure you don't have this limitation too.
Other apps that don't need "speed" datas will not show any problem
because they only download a little amount of datas at once ( weather for example ).
Does speedtest shows a low speed ?
Prbably not my povider as it's only the web browser apps.
I'm on 1.29.862.11
It won't be data limit, i don't get near it and it doesn't slow down anyway, they just charge me more.
Speedtest shows same as always between 3 and 6 Mbps
Hey guys.
I recently got the Arc and I am quite happy with it (coming from an x10). However I've came across a very frustrating issue with wifi. After a few days using ics my wifi has stopped connecting to the internet! It still appears in the status bar with the symbol as if its working but it comes up with up and down flashing arrows each side of it. If I try to load a web page, or load Facebook, whatever, it's having none of it and it tells me to check my internet connection.
The first time I managed to fix this after a full wipe but I really don't want to have to go to that everytime it stops, it's only been 2 or 3 days since I reset it and it's up to its old tricks..
Just wondering has anyone had a similar issue and if so, how did you get it to work again?
Thanks, Cian.
Hello, i know this has been discussed here before, but i wanted to ask for help anyway. My Wifi was working perfectly fine on Android 4.1, but after this update to 4.2.2 its really bad.
I know its software issue, pressing right top corner of my HOX doesnt help at all. I tried factory reset, but it didnt help. I´m running official ROM and no root. The problem is that sometimes when i have full signal strenght, the wifi speed is still horrible (like 0.5mb on 10mb wifi).
Any suggestions what to try? Thanks a lot

I have exactly the same problem. All HTC customer service suggested was factory reset, tried that and no difference. On 4.1 it worked fine on my wifi at home throughout the house, now on 4.2, works ok downstairs but useless upstairs even when it says I have 4 bars of signal. Very one times flaky though and sometimes drops to 1 or none. This is a disaster as I understand there is no way to roll back to 4.1. This is unbelievable!! How can an official update totally break basic functionality with no way back!? Searched all over Internet to find a solution and no luck, even though a fair few people seem ro have this problem. Is not a hardware problem, as OP, squeezing top right makes no difference. Have tried static IP, doesn't help. Desperate for help, can any wise heads on here suggest anything? Thanks!
So wish I had not updated, it worked brilliantly before.
Same situation here after the update... With full signal keep having horrible Wifi speed... :'(

Do you have the same problem 4play975? Seems quite a few people do..! As per OP my phone is not rooted and don't want to root it really.
Any chance anyone can suggest any other solutions to try?
Failing that, some details on what Richmondos fix is would be useful!!
Yeah, I really dont want to root my phone too, because i have warranty for more than 1 year now and I will sell the phone in future, so I dont wanna risk loosing warranty..
I also have similar problem! But it varies, sometimes it's bad and sometimes not??? Phone is stock and locked and don't want to unlock and install custom stuf, until warranty period is over.
Hello to all
I have the same wi-fi problem on my HTC One X since I made the update.
Is there any way to solve this?I hope so, because Wi-Fi signal is very bad, and I use it a lot of time.
I have CWM recovery installed,bootloader unlocked, and s-on, recently I have rooted my phone,
but at this moment is not.
I dont care installing new kernel, radio,etc........I just want to solve this problem :crying:
Tanks to all
I have a problem with my wifi too since the Andriod 4.2.2 and Sense 5 update, but it seems to be a bit different from yours. The speedtest.net app and the ping & DNS app give the same results as my PC that is hard wired to the router, so speed and ping seem to be fine.
But I get errors like Connection Problem Authentication via the proxy server was unsuccessful - but I don't use a proxy server. In the HOX wifi settings for that router the Proxy settings are Manual, Proxy hostname 127.0.0.1 and proxy port 3128. Are these correct for when there is no proxy? If switch from Manual to None and go back in then it has gone back to those settings.
Another error is Connection Problem this page contains too many server redirects. But the page displays fine if I switch to mobile data.
Or I get Connection Problem there was a network error. Again it works fine on mobile data.
Then there are some webpages that give a 404 page cannot be found error. Again it works fine on mobile data.
Some of these problems are repeatable on the same webpages across different routers in different buildings.
Sometimes when connecting to a router the HOX connects and the loses the connection and then reconnects up to 10 times before settling on the connection.
Like you I would rather not root etc if possible.
So, noone know a solution for users without root? I found out that on some wifi (in school), it works quite fine even on worse signal. But before update, it was ok on every wifi..
Hi
i have the same problem with my wlan connection. Nearly 100kb/s.
I had tested my internet download speed on my computer and takes interesting information:
my internet connection is 70MBit, this means i can download with nearly 8,2 MB/s.
If my HOX is not connected to the router, the whole downloadspeed is available on the computer. But if the HOX is connected, the downloadspeed is only 1 MB/s.
After disconnecting and rebooting the router, the internet connection is as well as before.
Does anyone makes the experiences?
regards
Daniel
I don't have the speed problems, Speedtest.net app gives the same results on my HOX as my PC.
One of my wifi problems is to do with the Wi-fi connecting to a weak signal instead of the stronger one - I have worked around this by installing WiFi Fixer App which works well at switching to the stronger signal.
Also there are some websites that give errors like Server Error too Many Redirects (for example http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ does that for me) or 404 Error - Page Cannot be Found (http://fahrbot.co.uk/) or are sometimes slow to load - I have found that these issues don't happen with the Opera Mini app, so why does the stock browser give these problems when on wifi, but not on mobile data?
Another one is that if I click a link in a webpage (or type in a URL) that takes me to a webpage that has a mobile version as well as the desktop version I get a strange URL that doesn't work. For example on mobile data typing in www.abmobileapps.com takes me to the mobile version of the website, but on wifi the URL automatically changes to http://www.abmobileapps.comhttp/www.abmobileapps.com/ and the page cannot be found. Again it works in mini Opera on wifi.
WIFI FIX
if you use rooted device, use lyapota mods and flash modpack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2114584 (contin wififix and other).
for me works great :highfive: (my router has openwrt)
I found out that on some other wifis speed works just fine. I have router D-Link DIR-600 with stronger antenna than it was stock. I use WPA2 security and Dynamic IP.
Is there anything what I should try to fix it? Thanks for any suggestions.
Here are some advices how to fix the WiFi issues - router dependent (need access to the router setup):
1. Make sure that you are not using channel 11-13
2. Disable "WMM Support" in router Wireless -> Advanced Settings. Note: this will force G-only speed (54Mb)
3. You you want to keep the N speed, put your phone in the highest possible QoS priority without disabling the "WMM Support"
Hope this helps

Thanks for the tips...
So, we will change WMM settings for all wifi modems that we connect...
Shame on you HTC...Next time I will ignore HTC while buying a new mobile phone...
after flashing lyopotas mod pack my hox'S wifi seems to work again like it's supposed
maybe it helps
After update,
i can't use my home wifi (Innacomm),using other wifi okay.
conneted but can't surf internet (error 404) but can only use opera mini (very very very slow).
Using other device no problem with the wifi..anyone can help me? TQ :crying:
The problems I am having with proxy and 404 errors are all caused by the Web Protection feature in Kaspersky Internet Security for Android since the OTA to Android 4.2.2 (it worked fine previously). I have installed the latest KIS 11.1.4.141 from the Kaspersky website (because Google Play says it is up to date at version 11.1.3) but the problem still occurs. So I have turned off Web Protection in KIS and all my issues have been cleared up.

I don't know if this is really the right place to ask this but her goes.
My wife has a S4 mini and I have Note 3. When connected to our home wifi I can connect to all the same app she does, however lately when she tries to enter hayday (her flavour of the month game ) It would load up to just before entering the game and then be stuck on that screen saying loading ....
Most other apps work perfectly so the wifi on the phone works(there seems to be a whatsapp issue that I saw yesterday, monitoring to see if it persists)
I on the other hand don't have any troubles when loading.
When she changes from wifi to mobile data however it loads instantly. Now I don't know if the issue is with the wifi network or just something phone/wifi combo.
I was just wondering If anybody else have seen something similar and maybe have some advice on how to remedy the issue?
I've been facing issues on my Mi A2 Lite ever since the Pie update in December. These issues have been persistent on my WiFi and it has gotten to a point where I'm inclined to change my phone. Keep in mind that the same WiFi works fine everywhere else. Here are the issues:
1. Browsing
I've tried a few browsers but the issue is on all of them. What happens is that the first couple of searches are normal but after that the page is stuck on loading and maybe after 10-20 minutes it might open that page. The error 'Bad network connection. please wait' pops up everytime this happens
2. Facebook
It literally doesn't run. Newsfeed stays the same, comments can't be loaded, groups can't be visited etc. It acts like my WiFi isn't turned on even though it is.
3. WhatsApp
Messages work fine but if I try to send a picture or video to somebody it never goes through.
4. Twitter
Twitter and Facebook have the same issue. Sometimes when I'm using it on mobile data and switch back to WiFi it works fine but that is not very often and doesn't last for too long.
All these issues happen both when the WiFi and Bluetooth is turned on and when only WiFi is turned on. None of these issues happen on mobile data. And the same WiFi works fine on other devices like I have said before.
Has anybody faced this issue? Is there any solution (I have tried pretty much everything)?

Nobody!
Try To Factory Reset!
Yes wifi + Bluetooth issues... I don't know if this has been fixed I have given up on January
Personally didn't see all the issues you describe, but I will concur the WiFi is wonky at times. Even seems like the signal strength is weakened by stock ROM.
I was on the last security patch recently and was trying to watch YouTube on a public WiFi and nothing was loading, thought maybe there was a restriction as switching to VPN connection I was able to view no problem.
I recently switched to paranoid android and WiFi signal is noticeably stronger, and on the same network I was having issues, YouTube plays fine now. I am only a couple days into using PA, but my opinion is it is preforming much better than xiaomi releases.
