Don't know if it has been covered already, but a quick search didn't turn up anything.
I am on 4.04 stock and the problem is, i can connect to the wireless network just fine, and everything works for some time.
Quite soon, no webpages open anymore and everything just gets timed out. The connection, however, is there and signal is perfect.
I slide wifi off, then on, it reconnects and everything works again for a short period. Any idea what could be causing this and what a workaround could be?
Have you tried resetting your wireless router and modem? Sometimes that happens to me, no matter what device or rom I'm using. Shows it perfectly connected but nothing opens. I make a habit to reset my modem and router weekly now to avoid it.

I'll try it right away. My laptop however stays nicely connected and has zero wifi issues, but i'll give it a go and report back.
No help unfortunately. Wifi stays connected, however there is no internet connection after 5-10 minutes.
Is your battery level low, some battery saving feature is active ? Just guessing ?!

Try reinserting your sim card, helped me a couple of times
Well, that's the thing. No mods, no nothing extra running, battery full or almost empty makes no difference. Sometimes the connection dies in one minute, the phone's personal best is like 10 minutes probably
I will try and remove the simcard, however i am unsure how this could affect anything. I am willing to try anything at this point, this is realy frustrating.
I have the exact same problem. Currently I'm running Android Revolution 15.0, but it did the same with Renovate rom. I have hboot 1.31 atm.

I also have the 1.31 Hboot, wonder if that could be part of the problem...otherwise everything is stock.

Had this issue too. I switched to only use G band on my wifi box. N band was always making my hox s wifi "freeze"

It happens to me. Unlocked and rooted running stock rom. Hopefully it'll be fixed in an update. Doesn't happen often but toggling airplane mode usually let's it reconnect or a reboot. But I believe its a known issue.

The signal bars being grey doesn't mean you don't have data.. it means you aren't syncing with Google services at the time...

No it doesn't.. greyed out bars mean you aren't connected to Google services but data doesn't drop. I have grey bars all the time.

You're mixing up the cause and the effect here. The bars are grey because you dropped data and are no longer synced to Google (or just do not have background sync on, etc.).
clearly its a problem that i hope they fix....the bars are grey and u dont see 3g or h... if you open the browser or any app that uses data it doesnt work..

As above you.. the bars greyed out because you lost data.. Grey bars with a 3 or H symbol mean you aren't connected to Google services.
hoping for a fix cuz not being able to talk on the phone and reply to an email without being on wifi is annoying
I am experiencing data drops as well on 4.0.3. I have had ZERO data drops on 4.0.2 though so it seems to be entirely based on the core framework from what I can tell.
I've tried the stock 3.0.8 kernel on 4.0.3 and still had drops. Tried custom 3.0.16 kernels on 4.0.3 - still drops.
Custom kernels or anything on 4.0.2 == no drops for me.
Side note: I had 5 days of success w/ the new bootloader (PRIMEKL01) on my phone w/ 4.0.3 and then all hell broke loose again so it could have just been a crazy case of pure luck for me w/ 4.0.3. I've been running 4.0.2 for well over a week now and have had no drops since.
Also worth noting - stock 4.0.2 is fine as is Paul's Ir9 4.0.2 ROM.
What version of ICS are you running?
My Phone details for reference:
Radio: XXKK6
Bootloader: PRIMEKL01
Version: 4.0.2
Kernel: 3.0.8-gaaa2611 [email protected] #1 (stock)
ROM: MoDaCo Ir9 (I used the standard one in Paul's thread here for Ir9)
Its part of known radio issues that Samsung is working to fix, hopefully in the next official update (at least for Verizon).

I would argue that it's not fully radio related simply because I'm using the same radio for both 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 yet I experience zero drops on 4.0.2 and extensive drops on 4.0.3.

Yep. I have run into additional instances that can trigger data drop scenarios to occur. I am running Paul's Ir9 ROM WITHOUT the 4.0.3 compatibility layer and with his kernel, I get no drops. If I bake a ROM with the 4.0.3 compatibility (and no other changes), I get data drops. If I run a faux's 4.0.2 kernel (which is a 3.0.16 kernel version), I get data drops.
All of this is with the same radio so I'm convinced that it's completely unrelated. Seems like a software issue that is resetting the data connection.
A few problems with 2.17 / 4.0.4
After i installed the update 2.17 i notice that my wifi is even worse. I have i good connection with my Dynalink D635 router. So i don't think it is a hardware problem. But wifi works just sometimes. It was the same with 1.29, but al lot beter Now i loses his connection and than it come back, but mostly there is no data-stream at all.
Also the GPS is not working fine anymore. Lost connection a the time. It was working fine with 1.29 .....
The radio (connection with G/3G/H) is also worse. And sometimes he lose my sim-card and even goes into flight-mode??
HTC, i dont know what you are doing over there, but i have to say that this product is absolutly not what i suspected. I waited for the 2.17 to give the product a second chance, but it is even worse
Basic question. Still, have you backed up and tried Factory restore?
recently my phone doesn't read the SIM after a few hours of use. Says there's no SIM.

CUSTOM ROMMERS
Just ensure you have installed the rom correctly, aswell as flashing the right boot.img for 2.17.401.2, then although it seems like a pointless task, please do well to include the command 'fastboot erase cache' before AND after the flash of the boot.img, just to be sure we don't have any kernel bits left behind. You could also go the extra mile and clear the dalvik cache in your custom recovery...
STOCK ROMMERS
You should ensure that your update was successful (check this in settings > about > software information) If the software version is 2.17.XXX.X
Then the update was successful, just double check your radio/baseband is what its supposed to be which is 2.1204.135.20 (i think)

I have a good question: Did you drop the phone recently or otherwise do anything to push the phone case down? It sounds like you crushed all the antenna contacts or your case just isn't seated right.
SIM losing contact would suggest that the SIM pins aren't fitted snugly against the SIM. You can either put tape on the sim to get to to fit more snugly or send it in for warranty repair.

I did not drop the phone, or did something strange with it. The only thing i want from a device that costs € 500,00 is that everything is does work.
I've have experienced a drop in mobile network signal after the 2.17 update. Haven't tested GPS but WiFi seems alright. I have not dropped the phone nor done anything unusual to it, just updated. Before, I had 5 bars/full signal all the time, and when I checked battery stats the network signal indicator throughout the day was green. Now, after the update the indicator is yellow and I have around 1-3 bars if signal.
Also, I'm in Denmark so I got the 1.29.xxx.12 update which was supposed to optimize signal strength. So right now I hope they are working on a similar fix.

The Custom ROMMERS part worked for me.
I had the same Problem. Just checked after a half hour and it still works.
Just try this method
Dear all,
I was using the Lee-droid rom. I switched to insert coin rom 9.xx and even tried the android revolution rom. In both I had the same problem. Using wifi I have almost no data although the signal is strong. It just keeps trying to synchronize like for hours. But for some reason whatsapp conncection works and no problems there, but when it comes to loading the play store it takes ages (5 min. plus). I already searched the internet for solutions but haven't found one. When I use my providers internet, it also just keeps trying to synch (and for some reason never seems to complete??) internet is also really slow and it used to be faster on mobile as wel as wifi. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I am really desperate to get this working, I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Edit: Confirmed that wifi does drop out sometimes and cant seems to get a signal although im standing right next to the router. But when I have wifi, I have a great connection, but almost no data, only whatsapp seems to work.
I can also confirm taht after the 2.17xxx update wifi is droping a lot. Didn't had that problem on 1.29. Also there are other issues but it will probably be best if I open a new thread or someone else does that, just for the sake that htc will read it and make our phones better

To me, your issues sound like radio related issued, although I could be wrong. You both on custom roms? With custom recoveries? I suggest if 1.29 worked better signal wise that you flash that radio in your custom recovery. That might improve your signal. Its basically different for everyone which radios work the best so basically it's trial and error.
Lemme know how you get on :thumbup:

I'm not sure if it's the same problem but i've been having a strange issue for a while. I believe is started when I began using jellybean roms (Not 100% sure). My phone will work for a day or two with no issues and then I just suddenly lose my gsm/3g connection. Numerous restarts later and if still doesn't work. Can't use it as a phone at all. If I reflash or change the rom, my connection works again for a few days and then then same thing happens. I'm having to reinstall roms every few days to have a working phone. I did have the pogo battery cover on for most of that time. Last time it happened, I removed the cover and I suddenly had a connection. I've left it off since, hoping it was just that but sadly not. Happened again to me just now

Hi, have you flashed any different radios? What's your current software version and does your Wifi drop as well? Or is it just mobile data?
After the 2.17 OTA update, the signal is always medium...but now there r no call drops or loss in signal
sandipbarik said:
I got my 2.17 OTA update last night, immedietly after the update my wifi signal was dropping, which was pretty stable 3 bars before that.
Today morning im getting dropped gsm signal...sometimes its showing no signal...eve a manual signal search gets me no network, omly airplane mode on/off gets the signal back.
I m not unlocked and not rooted...just plain factory stock.
should i unlock it and flash the radio from the 1.29 rom ??

I think i have the same problem, when data On, GPS On he sometimes turn of after i turn in and when put the pin and he try to connect to the carrier turn of again. This only happens now when i flash faux kernel and before with alex-v kernel..
hello,
i really like this rom, but there seems to be an issue:
i sometimes get the notification "limited service - emergency calls only", although i just had full signal. i have to change into flight mode then and enter my pin again, then the signal is back, but only for 5-10 minutes. then its gone again..
is there any possibility to fix this?
version 1.1.0 didnt have this issue (or at least not so often, perhaps one time in 2-3 days), but 2.0 has certainly gone worse with this..

hi!
sorry, i should have mentioned..
my radio is:
12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M
But I really think that this problem is rom related, because trickdroid is the first rom in which this problem occures. furthermore the difference between version 1.1.0 and 2.0.0 is very large: 1.1.0 has this problem, too, but just once a day or so, 2.0.0 very 10-15minutes..

I have tested this ROM and i didn't face any such problem.
why don't you wipe everything and try to flash it again. This might solve your problem
The DHD with NextG frequencies is the A9192 (telus).
The DHD released by Voda / 3 and European carriers is the A9191
A9193: i don't remember
----------------------------------------------------------------
Rom installation:
wipe all partition: data, system, boot,cache, dalvik.
and install the rom.
If the problem persists try this radio:
A9192 Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M
A9191 Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M

yes it is no inspire4g
i guess i have a9191 then. i will try to flash your recommended radio, thanks for your advice! but i dont have really much time this week, otherwise i would have tried to flash once again as you also said, GLADS but i will, at the very latest at the weekend.

is however very difficult that the problem is the radio
i am facing an issue with wifi on my htc desire with AOKP based JB ROM (sites.google.com/site/androidromporting/changelogs).
It is basically frozen, when i go to wifi in settings, at times the screen stays blank and never loads. at times it gets stuck at "turining wifi on..." othertines it shows the wireless network and similar does not react when i choose to connect. stays inert.
i suspect that a voip calling service that i was using caused this issue when it froze during use. I subsequently froze that app using titanium and even uninstalled it altogether a little later.
i am not really finding any solutions on the net. some have suggested a factory reset which i am vary of doing as i am currently travelling..
i really am missing the use of wifi in my hotel room for using things like viber for calling back home.
any suggestions (short of factory reset) will be welcome.

Hopefully someone here can advise me on this issue I have been getting with my Nexus 5x and using chrome but issue also happens in youtube. Note I have not setup my phone with a SIM yet, just been testing out the phone features and Android 6.0
When connected to my home networtk chrome and youtube work fine but every now and then the web page loading seems to stall in chrome, and then i watch the wifi signal disconnect and then reconnect and then the web page will load, but before it does i get the error message
dns_probe_finished_no_internet and sometimes its ERR name not resolved or ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED or similar inside chrome.
it seems to recover after about 30secs and then i have full wifi again. it just keeps happening This seems to be random at the moment but is consistent. My home network is pretty solid and all my other devices work fine and do not exhibit this issue, my wifi is solid.
I have done all the usual forget network, wipe system cache and static IP etc. nothing makes a difference. can anyone shed some light what might be causing this?
thanks
Did you manage to solve the problem? I got my phone last week and I am having the exact same problem.
I should mention that I am on stock unrooted and using At&t network. I checked the wifi connection from my older phone lg optimus g and it seems to be fine. It keeps on disconnecting and reconnecting on my 5x though and I think that is draining the battery faster than anything else. My top two battery uses are android system and android os rather than sceeen.
Do you think it is a hardware problem?

Any luck getting rid of the problem? I even factory reset my phone but the problem is still there. My problem is also global, not just in chrome. I think that there is a problem with the wifi of the phone. I do not want to root and install a new kernel as of yet. Just want to stay on the stock rom.
What did the warranty service say? Is this a common problem with the 5x? I would rather not RMA if the problem can be solved by some other means. I put on the screen protector so well. Don't want to do it all over again lol.
Also, is Android OS on the top of the list in battery drain? It is for me and I think the wifi connecting and disconnecting prevents the phone from sleeping.

Tried everything, reset network connections and then tried a complete reset and attempted new setup but the wifi was too flaky to complete the setup. Since the problem happened while I was using the phone I was not able to observe the effect on battery life. I would imagine it would take a big hit trying to connect and failing continuously.
Did this before calling Google so I wouldn't have to do this while on the phone. Warranty Service did not mention any ongoing problem with the wifi.
Am setting up the replacement currently. I'll save rooting, etc. until I've used the phone for a good while.
Bite the bullet and send it back. It's not going to heal itself.

Hi guys,
Just updated to 6.0.1 OTA and yes the problem remains and seems even worse now. Can I ask how you go about the warranty? Is there a number to call google directly?

oops sorry I should have said im in the UK, dont worry il find it. Can I ask is your replacement phone working correctly now, no wifi drop outs as before? if so what version of marshmallow are you on?
I've only been using it about 8 hours but no problems so far. The phone updated to 6.0.1 during the initial setup.
You can find the phone # for the UK by using a 'Contact Us' link in the Devices Store on Google Play.
ok so I seem to have fixed this issue been having and it turns out the phone itself is fine. The issue was with 2.4Ghz wifi networks. There are quite a few in my local area and there is probably a lot of cross talk on channels. So i setup a 5GHz network and my n5x seems rock solid since ive connected to that. no one single drop out all day! speeds are also much faster im getting 150MB download speed on wifi lol...
i changed nothing else on my phone just for the record. hope this maybe also helps someone else

I think I have an issue with the college wifi as well. I asked my friends who are using the same wifi network and their phones also do not seem to remain connected. I thought that it was an issue with my phone but I guess it is not.
To test that, I connected my phone to my college wifi all night and when I woke up in the morning, more than 20% battery had been used probably because of disconnecting and reconnecting continuously. The next night, I connected to some other wifi and there was less than 3 or 4% drop in battery overnight.
I hope they upgrade the college wifi as the battery drain is very annoying.
