Hello,
Basically, for the last couple of weeks my wifi on my HOX is seriously slow, and disconnects and reconnects continually (meaning it simply isn't possible to use the internet). This is particularly problematic as I live in a fairly rural part of the UK, and struggle to get mobile data inside my house. The little wifi icon disappears then reappears at the top of the phone.
I do have the issue where you press in between the camera and volume rocker to increase wifi signal, but this has always been the case - it has only just started not actually working properly. My HP Touchpad works perfectly fine. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas of how to fix this, as it is clearly problematic as it voids most apps that I use regularly (Tapatalk, Facebook, Engadget etc). I can often refresh a page if I am lucky, however this success never lasts.
I am using Viper X 3.7.5 - however the issue started midway through using Viper X 3.7.4 (it isn't the ROM though, as it worked perfectly fine when I first installed it).
Any ideas what to do here? Will obviously thank anyone who helps

This happened two times, once where I had full five bars with a HSPA connection and at home more often where I have two bars with an edge connection.
What happens is, when I get a text message, I will view it and then once I reply, the signal will drop and I won't have any signal, and have to wait for the phone to reconnect.
The same has happened outside with full service.
At home, I have wifi calling enabled and sometimes that will even drop and I will have to wait for wifi calling to reconnect or for the phone to gain back reception.
Is this a common issue? I have the ota radio on it, (not flashing any other radios, due to the fear of bricking), and running on Cyanogens 6.1.1.
Edit: This tends to happen a lot, when I get multiple messages and reply to each other quicky. I do about 6k messages a month and its getting annoying having the phone lose/drop signal when replying or receiving messages.
Thanks

Does this happen when you use the keyboard or the phone in landscape? I found out that if you cover the top party of the phone just above the camera with your hand the wifi completely drops. Turns out its the same antennagate as iphones but only affecting wif (so far). I actually can't use my keyboard on wifi because right away after putting my left hand on the top of the phone to hold it in landscape my wifi drops from full to either 1 bar or completely turns off and switches to H or 3G. If you're having the same issue then post back.
Yes, I actually do have the same problem. I donĀ“t think there is a solution for it is there?
I'm seeing the same problem withnmy g2, running cm 6.1.1. I have a case on my phone as well.
i am having this problem when i turn the internet on. Happens instantly.
I was having a similar problem, running cm 6.1.1. I flashed pershoot's kernel and have had better reliability during my two days or so of testing.
I've had 'similar' issues. Its rare that my signal drops completely but when I have the phone open in landscape mode and am sending a text using the hardware keyboard, my signal does seem to drop by 10-15db.
I had the same issue with the stock ROM as well.
Although this is not a solution, I have noticed that the signal isn't affected as much if you keep your hands on the back of the phone 'low', as in my index fingers sit below the camera on the back of the phone when texting...
I've had connection problems ever since I updated the radio. My signal before that was great, and so it was at home. Ever since the update, I go from 2 bars of HSPA to Edge, which is pretty frustrating.
At work, my signal was great and never drops. But today I've been going from GSPA to Edge to 3G over and over, which has me really annoyed.
Edit: Also, I tend to lose connection when I receive an MMS, not a regular text. When I get a call and I don't answer, I lose signal completely, which has caused me to miss voice mails.
Hi All,
I hope someone can help me on this one, I've had a good search of both this forum and the internet in general on a couple of occasions and not found anything that can help me with my specific problems.
I'm relatively new to Android, and am running a HTC One X on Orange UK, still locked and on Android version 4.0.3.
I've really been enjoying the phone (battery life excepted), but a couple of things have begun to Plague me over the last couple of days.
1) I've installed SwiftKey and a couple of months ago, a very intermittent bug started happening, where as soon as I entered a text field, the keyboard would appear as normal, and the keys would 'pop up' to show I'd hit them, I'd even get the haptic feedback, but nothing would be entered into the text field. This tended to happen without fail when I was trying to show off to iPhone-owning friends. For a month or two, this was a minor annoyance, sometimes, clearing the cache at settings>apps>all>HTC Sense would fix it, sometimes it required a reboot. However, I've just done my second reboot of the day - it's getting worse. It doesn't seem to be Swiftkey exclusive, as it's just happened to me with the Sense keyboard.
2) This is a new problem that has only cropped up since mid-last-week; The phone has started to lose WIFI connections. Connections that I know are there. My HOX will be telling me that my home router is out of range, when my nexus 7 (and my laptop, and my wife's iPad) are all happily working away on that connection whilst in the same room. I haven't done the squeeze test yet, but I'm pretty sure that it's not a loose connection as a reboot addresses the problem. The same problem occurs at work so I've ruled out my router (I restarted it for the first time in months anyway, but that hasn't stopped the problem).
The last reboot (the one that's prompted this post) took place because both issue happened at once. I've taken care of my HOX, it's faced no physical trauma, it's unrooted, I've only ever installed apps from Play store, Amazon and Humble Bundle. The phone really seems to be degenerating badly at the moment, and I'm wondering if this is down to a software upgrade. I'm wonderng this because I've noticed the phone warming up in my pocket quite a lot recently and the battery life has been worse than normal.
Any advice that anyone can offer would be much appreciated.
The wifi thing is the standard HOX fault, and it'll need to be repaired. Check out the monster thread on it.
Thanks Rusty,
I'm going to look into that tonight. I don't believe that it is a loose antenna, but I'll confirm.

Hey there, I brought my htc one x on contract with 3 at the start of august, the first one had a problem with the battery and had to wait to have a new one in white but eventually, I recieved one that worked. It had been great till a few weeks ago where my wi-fi has been poorer than before, everything else was fine though including my computer and few other things but my one x suddenly buffers every youtube video which take a while to load and keep pausing, the wifi disconnects every now and then but the internet along with twitter and facebook you can't always tell but it defiantly is poor at times. The Wi-fi icon at the top is full at times even when it isn't connecting well to the wifi and then always goes up and down. Always random. I tried the squeeze test which has once or twice improved it but nothing is effected by it usually, even when i downloaded the wifi analyser app, at first i squeezed it and it shot up but since then even if it says the signal is good, it still isn't. It's the youtube that is the worse, but I don't think it is just that as the wifi disconnects and goes up and down at times and just poor compared to before. Do i have this same problem though? The squeeze dosen't always work and what shall i do? Go back to the 3 store?
Really was a good phone till this problem popped up.
So there is this one thing that have nagged me in the back of my head with my HTC One X, and it's that the WiFi sometimes (rarely) drops for a few seconds and then reconnects (at full strength), it seems random, happens both in use and when not using it, as in I unlock the phone and it's not connected to the WiFi, 3G connectivity seems to work just fine when this happens, it appears to be a WiFi only thing.
Now I'm sure this is NOT the WiFi hardware fault, the squeeze test does not make my WiFi signal die, and my brother also bought the very same phone, just another color, and it behaves similar in WiFi performance, and it too have no issue with the squeeze test, however, as my brother rarely use WiFi or browse with the phone, I haven't been able to get an answer if his phone behaves like mine does every now and then.
My router is a Netgear WNDR3700, running on Ch 11 (no one else on the channel), and other equipment such as laptops have no issues with it, so I'm wondering if this is software issue or what not, the phone is currently running stock HTC 4.0.4.
What could create this issue I wonder? I'm thinking of setting my routers beacon interval to 1000, it seems to save battery according to some threads, but I can't seem to think this is relevant here.
I have the same issue with my HTC One X+. In fact, I found this topic because I was seeing whether it was an issue (I hope it's not...).
The issue seems random, but now and then I turn on my phone screen to have no signal and then it reconnects. Not the WiFi bug and not a dodgy signal as it's strong.

Im now onto my 3rd white HOX for my wife (my grey one has been perfect!) and the second one suffered really back from wifi drops, the squeze test afaik doesnt drop the signal but make it better???? If I squeze mine it shoots up to full and when I release it, it drops back down really low. If yours and your brothers are the same maybe try another channel
I think this may be the issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1708492
Greetings all,
I tried to find this issue before posting a new thread (I did find an old thread with no solutions to the issue but I didnt want to try to revive a dead thread from a year ago) so I apologize in advance if this is a duplicate and if so please link me to the existing thread.
I have an on going issue that ATT has been useless with so I am reaching out to the XDA community now in hopes that I do not need to start using my phone as a door stop.
I have done a ton of research on this issue and it seem that it is software related but the few fixes that I have tried have not helped at all.
The issue is when I am talking on the phone the "mic" will cut out and sometimes so will the speaker. I can be talking just fine with no issues and then the person I am speaking with says its like I hung up. Some times I can hear the person fine but they can not hear me and other times it truly seems as if the phone was hung up. Some times the issue lasts 5 seconds other times its upwards of a minute. I am on my second phone, att was nice enough to replace it once but the issue persists on the new one as well. The issue occurs on the handset as well as bluetooth. Every so often I luck out and have no issues with a call (normally under 3 minutes) but typically when I use my phone as an actual phone the calls are longer than 10. The issue also occurs when speaker is turned on as well with the phone sitting next to me on a table so I do not think it has to do with any form of auto mute (like the old thread I found mentioned).
One of the things that I had found was to make a call with skype and it magically fixes it. Well sadly to say it I have tried that multiple times and it still did not fix it. I have tried running my phone just stock and the issue still occurs so i do not think its an issue with what is installed (mostly just google apps for work and a few games).
If any one has any ideas please let me know. At this point I am willing to try almost anything. Thanks
Turn off Enhanced LTE (HD Voice).I just had an AT&T rep confirm that this is their networknetwork problem. Apparently, HD Voice (VOLTE) isn't quite right, and the bugs are numerous. Turn it off, should fix these issues and maybe more.

I just reset my note 4 to stock last night. I just checked and Enhanced LTE is off and I am still having the same issues that others are reporting and just terrible signal strength in general. If I am indoors anywhere I am lucky to have 2 bars and then half the time calls don't go through. I am headed to the ATT store now to see what they say. I am on next and could upgrade but looking at the list of available phones from ATT I don't know if anything is really going to be better. I don't want to shell out the cash for a nexus 6p but I may end up doing it.
Turning off enhanced seemed to help but I still encounter the issue from time to tine. I'm just counting down the days till my 6p shows up...
