I have a problem with wifi after I put update on 2.3.3
whether it can solve this problem with wifi.
I always shoot and it turns the wifi network.
be a good wifi network signal then disappears
Same problem here
This is a very serious problem. Get ur act together HTC, this is just unacceptable!
Are you rooted? HTC raised the signal strength at which the connection would be dropped, there is a fix if you are rooted, otheewise you are stucm and will have to wait for HTC to correct this.

Have you tried another radio? of course be careful if you do change it
same issue, though htc say that its a "new feature" to provide a seamless mobile broadband experience by automatically chosing the strongest signal. whatever you say htc
i just disable mobile data at home, so it cant jump back to 3g and stays on wifi. the annoying thing with this is that i forget to enable mobile data when leaving the house.
i hope they sort it out, and that this new feature isn't rolled out across their other products
I am having the same problem. At work, my wifi connection is weak, but was always functional. Now, I cannot connect to my work wifi. On top of that, my battery drains twice as fast on my phone, and I'm thinking that it's due to the phone always scanning and trying to connect to the wifi signal. If it's true that HTC changed the level at which the wifi signal is dropped, this was a terrible decision.

I think this may answer/point to the problem I'm having since installing the Gingerbread RUU. I use the quick settings app from the market and pre-gingerbread it used to switch between wi-fi/mobile pretty seemlessly, turning off the unused option. Now if there's no wi-fi connection that option seems to stay on (probably searching) while it's connected to mobile data. As above, my battery is draining like a sieve.

Same problem for me with Original Rom.
so i tried the Revoloution HD 5.1.4 and same problem again!
Hi guys until HTC release an OTA fix (that's if they do) the only way to resolve this is to root and then try some different ROM and radio combinations until you find one that works for you.
I find the ROM and radio from my signature work really well on WiFi but if you are going to do this make sure and root, gain S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. Also make sure you have the correct RIL for the ROM and radio that you are using
There are lots of threads on the dev section that guide you through this.
Wifi connecting
I have a similar problem with wifi connection. Only it doesn't disconnect during a connection but when establishing a wifi connection it takes much longer than it used to on Froyo. Anyone else noticed this?
i have problem too with wifi
I really hope htc has stopped the updates and resumes with a new build with the wifi problem fixed
The issue is with the Gingerbread Sense ROMs.

WiFi problems with routers
Hi there,
Same problem here. Both my WiFi router and phone say signal and reception quality are perfect and connection it stable, but data won't flow.
I'm having this problem with my Speedtouch (WEP key) router at home, whereas a Sitecom router at the office works fine (WPA etc. key).
Tried some work arounds, without success
Regards
***EDIT***
I can add that it has nothing to do with the reported threshold of -88dB signal strength. As I checked that with the *#*#4636#*#* option and both higher and lower values of the WiFi reception don't make any difference. The problem persists.
***EDIT v2***
The suggestion posted elsewhere to change from WEP to WPA didn't work out either
***EDIT v3***
Reverted back to ARHD 3.7 and WiFi is running fine again .
Hope some fix will be found soon!
Regards,
Is there any solution. I am trying to downgrade the radio but no chance.
If I use LeeDroid or Revolution will this same problem be there?
Ok guys so I've been complaining about my WiFi speed and loading time of the phone so far. I have a new router and I've even tried sitting right next to it! But still the same thing!
I'm sure that I'm not the only person who feels that the phone is slightly slow on WiFi out of the box with standard settings.
I have actually solved the problem and It's a very EASY fix! Do the following:
1. Settings>WiFi>Advanced >Tick best WiFi performance.
I did this and honestly is like a new phone! I am so much more happy with the phone. The difference is night & day!
I hope this helps people start loving their One X again!

What about battery consumption with this seting on though?
That was always my biggest concern for not using this setting.
Router Settings
Hi there,
when I got my HOX out of the box at home and connected it vie WiFi to my WLAN Router Fritzbox 7570 vDSL the HOX connected, but it was not possible to bring up a website like www.google.com, and after very little time the whole WiFi network collapsed, with all other clients showing only restricted connection, but no access to the internet anymore....restarting of the router was necessary.
In a German forum someone suggested to switch the WLAN from 2.4Ghz b+g+n to 2.4Ghz b+g which is a setting option with my particular Fritzbox.
I did so, and voila....no problems whatsoever anymore... HOX showing 54Mbits as does my Samsung Gtab 10.1n or my laptop...
just checked when the router is set to WLAN 2.4Ghz b+g+n the HOX shows 11Mbits and the laptop 130Mbits...
Maybe it is a good idea to see if you have a setting on your router to disable the n standard and only run b+g...and report back.
Then you don't need the Best WiFi setting at all...at least I don't need it!

I am quite sure the battery will get a hit. No free lunches.
I do notice when the signal is weak my wifi seems to disconnet and reconnect.
I have just noticed there is another option that says switch network when the wifi signal is weak. I have loads of wifi signals around my area. Maybe it was trying to connect to my neighbours. I have unticked it now (default is ticked!) and see if that issue still comes up.
But the disconnect/reconnect was pretty fast. Nontheless it is still annoying.

Well some people may have devices at home that run at N. Switching the router off to G-only may not be desirable. But as I said above, try unticking the auto switching option. It could be the phone was trying to switch band when it detected the current signal was weak.
Im sure most of us had already tried this. I'm still unable to connect to most networks or my connection gets cut off every 20 minutes or so. HTC rep explained that there must be an issue with the networkS I'm trying to connect to, as he is able to exclude a bardware failure ias a possible cause by virtue of the fact that I'm not entirely unable to connect to a network. He went on to say that you may compare this to a Turbo on a car, it is either broken or in complete working order. I was stunned at his incompetence in both mechanical and electrical engineering.
Bottom line is, it's impossible to get a proper connection on my phone.

For everyone's reference, I am using TP-Link 1043 router on b+g+n mode and my One X is working fine. No need to turn on "Best Wifi Performance" or turn off "Auto Disconnect".
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Ok so I will post my battery usage after today of having best WiFi performance on. Seems like it may use an extra 1-2% so far. Will know for sure ay the end of the day.
One thing I can notice is that when I look at the battery stats the WiFi usage bar is solid blue now. Or used to have multiple broken lines through it.

For weak signal go to settings - wireless -menu, advanced then untick auto disconnect, this stops your hox dropping from a weak signal.

WiFi Problem
I had same problem on my HOX.
I just changed the DNS settings in router's configuration. everything's working now.
OK so I hosted my macbook as a hotspot.. my every other htc except oneX can see and connect to the hotspot...
Strange thing is the oneX can see the wifi networks from surroundings!!
any suggestions?

Hi
Have been pulling my hair since day one with this problem and thanks to this thread i must say i'm a bit relieved to see that i'm not alone. Have changed everything in my WiFi settings now and the only thing that have improved it somewhat was when i changed the encryption to just wep.
Now my hopes are with the new upcoming 1.29.

Got same problem
- Changing encryption to WEP (or even none) works
- Changing band (2.4Ghz to 5Ghz) does not work, even when forced to connect to either
It's terrible, I would love a good solution. I will try all three solutions, one at a time:
- Best WiFi
- Auto disconnect
- Remove N-band from router (but why oh why should we do that!!)

hox didn't support ad-hoc wireless, need to be on AP mode, try download some software such as connectify to share internet, not sure what is on mac though.
Hey guys I've noticed something lately with the WiFi.
If you open an app like tunein radio and browse the web, the WiFi works much better? Seems that the WiFi works better the more the processor is made to work. Anyone else find this?

Where do you see this auto disconnect setting?
I've a Dutch model, so it's here:
Instellingen->Wi-Fi->Menu (3dots)->Geavanceerd->Beste Wi-Fi prestaties
In English it's something like this:
Settings->Wi-Fi->Menu(3dots)->Advanced->Best Wi-Fi
btw: The only things that work are:
- have only B and G and to disable N on the router.
- use only WEB as security
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.

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
After trying variuos ROMs (2 variants of Sense ROMs and this CM11 one) I am still unable to avoid a serious and quite known problem: when connected to Wifi my battery drains fast. After installing BBS I noticed that the phone doesn't go into deep sleep. Something is keeping it awake. The strange thing about this issue is that just a few of the HOX's seem to be affected. I'm curious what do you guys think about it and maybe you have some advices? I really love my HOX, but this is shortening my battery life too much. I'd rather try everything before selling the device. Thank you in advance.
I attached a BBS log. With current settings (location reporting and stuff) if I disable Wifi everything is ok.

P.S. Also tried relocking, reflashing firmware, unlocking then flashing custom ROM but still no luck...

I'm having this problem with my home & office router. Didn't have the chance to test with other routers. I keep wifi on at all times but once the connection to the wifi network is closed, problem is gone. It must be in the software somewhere because my router is way older than the problem. Maybe with the update to JB HTC broke compat with some routers or their settings? Who knows... My wife has the HTC Desire 500 and she doesn't have this issue.
Hello, now i am stuck with my wifi issue, i have full signal strenght but wifi and internet hangs anywa, i was wondering first off, what is hboot exactly, second question is does hboot got anything related to wifi radio or drivers? since it can't be downgraded is my phone wifi stuck until something is found ? :'( it worked very well before updates, now even with Cyanogen 10.2 i have the issue, i don't think it is hardware related.Please please anyone knows something about this ? I am starting to regret my money badly :'(
What do you mean with the internet hangs ? Please tell more about it...what exactly happens and which apps aren't working well...hboot is for phones like a driver for bootloader and also for WiFi etc...just like the bootloader is for phones like bios is for pc ...but yea tell more about those WiFi problems...it could be really WiFi problem...or change the WiFi settings in WiFi and then settings...disable all things like optimize WiFi to improve battery life or so...

Well sorry for not detailing, i am just so disappointed that i forgot. Let me explain more, i have the wifi connected, if i lauch for example Play store or facebook or twitter just after i activate wifi it accesses the internet without any problem but that is just for like 30 seconds max, then the wifi stays connected i have the icon with almost max signal, but no more internet, and also i can't access my router when i try via browser, whil it accesses it when i turn wifi off and on, so actually it completely loses connection to the router but i still have the wifi icon. It never did that before hboot 1.73. now i tried 3 roms, ARHD, MaximusHD, Cyanogen 10.2, tried with all params, even static ip forced router to wifi G. Nothing seems to do th trick, i was thinking about the hardware antenna defection, but i have fll signal so i don't know at all now.
