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.

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".

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.

I dont see this setting?
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?

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
This is pretty strange so I thought I'd check here with people.
I got my new Sprint Note 2 today. When I was at home it connected to my wifi network and worked fine. When I got to work I connected it to our wifi network and the internet won't work. If I turn off wifi internet comes back.
Here's the kicker, I have my old iPhone right next to it connected to the work wifi network and it is connected fine to the internet. This is definitely going through wifi as I no longer have a data plan on that phone.
I checked with our IT admin who said that there is no need to "accept" a device on our wifi network. He also rebooted the network for good measure. After both phones lost the network (from the reboot) and reconnected the same thing happened. No internet from my Note but internet works fine on the iPhone. Restarting my Note doesn't fix the problem.
Any ideas? Thanks.
I have the same problem. Need help too.

My network admin created a second wifi network to connect to (I guess our router supported it) and when I connected to the new one I got internet.
If it helps others try and solve the issue he tried pinging the IP address that my phone was using and said that he could only send information but not get anything back.

Try changing your wifi channel config in the router.
Hi, I've got the International version N7100 and experiencing weird wifi problem. I have tried to reset my wifi router and use static IP but it doesn't solve the problem. Btw, the problem is whenever I connect my Note 2 to wifi it would lose connection after a while then messes my router and connection of my PC to router as well. Never had this issue until I brought the Note 2 home a week ago. I had to restart my router and turn off my wifi on Note 2 for everything else to work. My iPad, iPhone and PC are all doing fine when Note 2's wifi is off.
I used to have terrible problems with my Virgin Superhub which all went away when I changed the security settings to WEP hexidecimal from WPA2-PSK (AES). Laptops and phones would have intermittent connections all the time which a reboot or channel change would sort out but only temporarily. Give it a whirl.

I've been experiencing the same problem. It's especially annoying when I try to download big size apps on Google Play ( > 1 gb) because it will stop any moment and i will have to re-download it over and over again. It never happens when I connect to school wifi but it just happens when I connect to my wifi at home. Weird. Nothing is wrong with my wifi at all because my other computer is always connected 24/7 without any problem.
I have a similar problem on Omega Ron v5.0 with latest Andrei kernel. The phone gets stuck sometimes in getting IP address part or have disconnects. It's annoying.

Afraid not.
I did that after other efforts failed but still have to go through same issue every now and then. This is not a permanent problem but something that occurs at least once a day for me.
Also having Wifi issues with GN2 from Sprint
I got the GN2 on it's release date (this past Thursday) through Sprint. Got it home got set up, connected...everything worked beautifully.
After a couple of hours, downloading apps etc. I noticed it had stalled. Turned off WiFI and used the network to finish. Turned back on WiFi and Voila, action again, but a few hours later it stalled.
I first made sure all of my settings were in agreement. No sleep mode or anything like that was enabled. No power saver either.
Couple hours goes by, WiFi connectivity stalls (even though it shows a full signal) I contacted TWC and made sure it wasn't the modem/router. I changed the wifi channel, tinked with the bandwidth... everything worked...an hour later it stalled. Called Sprint they said I had a dud, took it back, exchanged it, got the new one... SAME ISSUES. YEsterday I connected to my Church network HOPING it was an issue at home, but not so. After an hour on the network it stalled.
Contacted Samsung today and they have had no complaints according to them so i said I'm happy to be the first... If anyone finds a fix please let me know.

Do you have any solution yet? I have the same issues with 2 different networks. I already contacted Samsung, but they only say I should do a reset of my device and read the setup instuctions for wifi. I'm still in contact with Samsung and hardly try to get a solution.
Stay tuned, I'll post any news I can get.

I'd prefer it to work with the stronger encryption of WPA2 rather than WEP.
OP: it will be great if you could add a poll to the thread as that way we can see whats the percentage of users are experiencing this issue,

Same issue here. Connect wifi and I'm able to hold connection for as little as minutes at times. Turn back on 4G and I'm fine. If I re enable wifi straight after it works intermittently. This is true of both my home and office wifi. So I'm lead to believe it's the phone.
Hi,
Almost the same thing here. everytime I go out of my home and comeback the wifi network seems to work but no internet access. I have to stop and restart wifi then it works.
very strange issue. ok I have a work around but I'm going to open a ticket to Samsung.
Same issue - connects for about 30 seconds
I've tried on different routers. Other devices (iphone, ipad, S3, etc.) all work fine. Sees the wifi network. connects, then disconnects and TURNS OFF WIFI. I can't figure out how to go to service mode to see if this is a timer issue. I've tried on both G and N networks. using a verizon fios, actionteck router (and netgear). Also, will not remember the password credentials. tried router reboot and fidling, etc. Driving me nuts. any suggestions ???
Hey guys,
So I've had my Verizon HTC One for awhile now, and I've yet to really get it to work properly on my home WiFi network, regardless of the ROM or Radios I'm using.
I have a Cable provider at both my house and work, but each location has a different router. At work we use a Edgewater bridge/router combo, and I am able to upload/download and stream SD content okay, but never HD. However, at home on my Motorola Surfboard SBG6580 Modem/Router combo can rarely get things as simple as Google to bring up a search result. I never get a "Connection error" message, just a never-ending loading page. I've scoured the internet, and Motorolas help pages, trying to find any indication of a fix. I've attempted changing wireless settings between 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz, tried every channel available (1 - 11), as well as removing security encryption, firewall, and setting up a Static IP address, and there is no difference.. The odd thing is when I run a Speedtest, I get 10Mbps/1Mbps up/down.
The reason this has become a problem now, is I had a background data glitch and used 12GB's of data last month, resulting in a $200 phone bill (I don't usually go over 4, so I never paid attention to what was going on).
So, my questions are;
A. Has anyone else experienced this issue with the Motorola modems before, as I'm thinking about buying a separate Wireless Router as an option.
B. Is there any known fixes for this problem
I use to have the same Motorola surfboard. I had a few different issues. It would lose connection daily and it was inconsistent. I read up on it and it has several known issues. I sold it and have moved on to a Motorola docsis 3.0 modem and the night hawk router. Not one issue with any phones, tablets, or computers. No issues with htc one or one max.
Have you tried factory resetting your modem/router? Do other wifi device work ok with your router? Does your device work right on other wifi networks (not home or work)?

I've reset all the settings, both a power cycle, and a hard reset. Doesn't change.
All of my computers, my girlfriends S3, and my sisters Stellar work fine on the network. I don't go many places, so I haven't tested it on any outside networks, but the assumption is it SHOULD (in theory) work on non-Motorola routers considering it functions at my work.

Is there any firmware updates for your router. Also have you checked all the WiFi settings on phone and make sure they are default. The most important would be WiFi frequency set to auto. The problem has to be in the router though IMO. If you read around on line you will see many un pleased customers of that particular model. I would stray from Motorola routers to be honest. Even Cisco isn't the quality they used to be. I use an Asus router now and it works great. I have already burned up 2 Cisco usb wireless adapters and a d link and Cisco router. Moving to Asus was the best decision I ever made.
The fact that the phone works fine on other networks, and other devices work fine on your network leads me to believe that neither has a conectivity issue. I find it strange that browser activity is slow/non-existent, but a speed test shows good speed. What did you use to test that speed? Do apps that use the internet work at a normal speed, like the play store? Have you tried a different browser from the market, such as chrome or firefox?
The 6580 is junk. I work for a large ISP whose name begins with c and ends with t. We haven't gotten a decent firmware from moto yet. The firmware we are currently on suffers from all kinds of performance problems. Do yourself a favor and never buy an all in one device again.

I have the [Aeris?] Wireless N gateway from said cable company and it works amazing with all my devices. Upgraded from a 5 year old Airport Extreme N since it's actually cheaper to have home phone I don't even use.

That's good you have good luck with that model. The Technicolor wg from the same provider is also decent. I'm still a fan of having your modem and router separate. I will keep my blazing speeds from my r7000 using 802.11ac on this phone.

In some situations on my HTC One it has a hard time pulling internet from a wi-fi network when the frequency band is set to Auto. My One plays a lot nicer on Wi-Fi when I manually set it into 2.4ghz or 5ghz.
I just got this same modem and any time I connected my One to the network it would seemingly kill the wireless signal. I had a D-Link wireless router and the TW cable modem previously and I connected fine. My old Inc2 would cause the same issue with the old setup, never sure why it did that.
Anyway, after some searching I found a solution that has worked so far, not sure why, but I changed the LAN IP from the default 192.168.0.1 to .0.2 and no more issues, worth a try.
YMMV
Sooo I've had my M8 for nearly a month now and I love the thing. However, I notice that I've been having some issues with the M8 not being able to detect or connect to my home and office's wifi. My laptop and my fiance's Nexus 5 can detect our home wifi network with full strength.
Interestingly, the closer I get to my router, the stronger the signal gets, but the moment I move maybe 20 feet away into another room, the wifi cuts out or gets very weak. I understand that distance is a factor, but I feel that my M8 should be able to connect to my router in the next room, especially when other devices can do so with no problem.
I think it's also worth noting that this was not always an issue. This only started happening recently - the only software upgrade that I did was the Verizon push that installed right out the box. I have not made any changes to my wifi network at home or work.
I've tried a couple of things with no resolution, including;
Resetting my router (power cycling)
Restarting my phone
Forgetting both wifi networks and manually re-adding them
Changing my wifi direct name
Turning on airplane mode, turning off my wifi, turning off airplane mode then turning on wifi (this was a suggested method for the M7 that I saw on another forum)
I did some Googling and didnt find much, so maybe I just have a lemon, but I did see that wifi connectivity was an issue with the M7.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I'm having the exact same problem getting over 20Mbps over Ethernet but then 0.25Mbps on my M8 over WiFi even when close to router
Have you guys played around with your routers settings?
What signal is your router on, wireless b,g,n,ac?
Is it throwing mixed frequency? (2.4ghz or 5ghz or both)
Go to WiFi settings in the phone, then advanced, then it will probably say "auto".
Try setting it on only 2.4ghz or only 5ghz see if that helps.

Tried that and my router is just b and g suppose upgrading to an n or ac router would sort it

Yup lol. B and G are long outdated. Need N so your speeds can fly...

This. Worked for me...and on my old Nexus 4. I think it is a KitKat thing.
