I've had my phone for a week now and I've been testing out various streaming radio sites and apps, and I've noticed that for some reason I'm having problems streaming when I'm on the ATT network connection. I can't understand why this is because I can stream just fine over a wifi connection. To make things even more puzzling, I did a speed test and my 4g network connection is testing WAY faster than my wifi connection. I'm not sure if this is a network issue, a website/app issue, or an issue with one of my phone settings. Has anyone else encountered any similar issues with streaming content? Any ideas what the problem may be here?
Guess I'm the only one having this problem?

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.

Try the DNSet application - I had painful Comcast WiFi speeds, or lack thereof, and running this application before turning on WiFi solves the issue. Not sure if it's just me, but you should know that MMS doesn't work when the DNSet application is running.
What is stopping us from hardcoding DNS entries in the WLAN config now that we have root? Is this possible?

I looked at it, but the app needs to create a VPN to work, which is a whole other can of worms.
Do you have Comcast? I've learned that Comcast rolled out IPv6 out of nowhere, and many of its routers have issues with some phones (my gf's iphone included). I rooted my phone, disabled IPv6, and now I'm back to consistent 50-80Mbps download speeds on my phone.
Before, I would open up the Speedtest.net app, it would take a full minute or more to locate a server, and then the needle for the download speeds would constantly bounce between 0 and 50, sometimes with my phone prompting me that I lost my internet connection, asking if I would like to switch to data. Worth a shot! If you can't root, DNSet does this for you through the VPN, or you might be able to find a way to shut it off on your router.
I don't seem to have any issues with my phone picking up IPv6 over data or a few other routers, though, so I think this issue is more due to some bad firmware on certain modems.
Yes i do have comcast, their is many other cellphones in my house galaxy s5 ,s6, lg g3, iphone 6, none of them have problems but mine, how do i disable IPv6 once i have root

From the G3 after the 5.0 update, the fix was to disable IPv6 as well. This isn't related to IPv6 though, as it only seems to effect the G3/G4. Also, Google "What is my IP" when on mobile data and you will likely have an IPv6 address from Verizon.
I don't know that it isn't related to ipv6; Samsung phones have similar issues and my girlfriend's iphone does as well. I don't think the problem is the protocol itself, but how certain modems (seemingly Comcast ones) incorrectly implement them in their firmware
I have the E6883 model dual SIM phone. I've had it about a year now and it's updated to 7.1.1 all stock.
What's strange is that a sudden problem has come up in that the wi-fi will connect to a network but has a little "x" mark on the signal icon.
It will say "connected, no internet".
Which is odd cause it worked before and everything else works in the network. I didn't change anything about the wi-fi network. Also,
it does seem like I can use the internet if I use the browser and things like WeChat and Instagram work. But some programs like Whatsapp
or Final Fantasy BE say that no internet connection is found. It's very odd.
*Update
So, it seems every single Wi-Fi network now reacts that way. It's very odd and a bit annoying. I travelled recently to USA from China (to visit family) and in USA it was fine, but on
the return trip I couldn't connect to any wi-fi at airports and now nothing anywhere.
Anyone else encounter this before ?
I can only connect to one network for sone weird reason and all the other networks say something in the lines of network access denied or timed out. I had this problem with the network im on rn as well but for some reason it magically dissapeared everyone else can connect to them. I read about an encryption issue but the incription for the different wifi signals are the same. Does anyone have more knowledge on this subject?
Same problem
I'm experiencing the same issue on my tl10c. Worked fine for a few weeks, but now the phone can't detect any wifi networks. Rebooting fixes the problem, but only for a short while, after half an hour I'm disconnected and can't find my or any other wifi networks.
Hey, I have both settings in Dual-channel network acceleration turned on as I have unlimited data from carrier but it doesn't seem to do anything for me.
Right now I'm on a train with a free WiFi which is obviously ****, I was watching a stream on Twitch and it just kept buffering every few seconds. After I turned the Wi-Fi manually off, LTE+ kicked in and the stream went on well.
Why didn't the phone automatically switch to mobile data OR used the data and wifi simultaneously as the settings in dual channel network acceleration suggest?
Does anyone else have this problem or does anyone have positive experience with this function?

Haven't had any noticable issue on this device, but on previous OnePlus devices that setting had worked just as you described, not how should. I would have to turn off this setting to use either Wifi or data.
Correct me if I'm wrong but this feature doesn't mean you can use multiple networks for one network stream, but more like you can use multiple networks for multiple network streams (so if you are watching stream and downloading file in background, these 2 can be separated to different networks, but download of a file can't be splitted to 2 networks).

Yeah, that sounds reasonable. Anyway, I thought the first setting should switch me between wifi and data if the connection is poor, which it didn't. On my old Honor, there was a similar looking setting which did exactly this; it switched over to wifi / data if the speed of currently used network was insufficient so I thought it would work similarly here.

You are right. In theory it should switch you, but for that to happen, the App needs to identify that connection is poor (poor for streaming is just fine for text pages etc.) and it should notify the Android to do the switch. No idea how that is implemented in the Twitch app or your browser app, maybe you were only unlucky with threshold.
