Desire Wireless Problems

As the title suggests, I am not having much luck with the wireless.
I turn it on, but it does not see any wireless INTERNET in the area at all. This was working fine a few days ago, but have only noticed it now.
Have tried a factory reset and cleared the SD card to no avail.
Cheers for any help

reset the password on the wireless (can be the same password as ur old one) but it will cause ur network to go down for a bit, and come back up and when its coming back up, ur phone will report it as avalible, and u can access it again, i have noticed this my self. and found it extremely annoying, it seem to be appearing when turning off the wifi on the phone and then turning it on again, after that the phone wont be able to reconnect to any rememebered device(even if u choose to forget it)
Can u please try this, and report back here if its working or not.
incase it is, it might be a issue with the 2.1 for the desire, and should be reported back to android devs.

Thanks for the reply, but Im afraid no cigar.
Reset the router, changed the password and the desire is still not picking up any wireless networks around me even though my Nexus one is.
Pain in the grass as I was to sell my HTC desire today, but if the wireless isnt working thats a deal breaker.

download the free app wifi analyzer and have a look if that one can spot any wifi broadcasts in your area,

Downloaded and it cant seem to find anything at all?
Does this mean somehow my wifi has broken?

Funny thing this because my desire has just done this today.
I went in to my router and disabled the security. I deleted the key on the phone and the phone found the network and connected OK. Went back into the router and re enabled security and rebooted the router. The phone then found the network and asked for the key. Entered the key and all good connecting now.

I've been having the same problem for quite some time now..., send it back to repair came back after a month...,, did it the first time i used my phone. disconected it for battery saving.... and when i turned it back on again it didnt found any wireless connection...
I'm lost... dont really know what to do next....,,, I'll try this method when i get home today....,, hope it works... but does that mean u have to do this everytime you want to use your wifi?:S:S

Are you using stock android or a custom ROM. I seem to remember some custom ROMS having issues with wireless networks on certain channels.
Try changing the channel of your wireless router.

Wifi dropouts

Is anyone else having sporadic issues with wifi on the One X?
I have two One X's, both running T-mob rom 1.26.110.5.
Wifi will work fine for some hours, then problems start. I usually notice this when returning to the browser - where the progress bar sticks at about 10% and goes no further in downloading a page.
This can happen to either of my One X's. At the same time, my other One X and both of my HTC Desires will continue to operate perfectly on Wifi. This situation can continue for quite some time, and usually I have to cycle the wifi power on the offending phone, whereupon that phone will connect fine again.
The good connection has lasted anywhere between 2 minutes to several hours.
This is intensely frustrating. When I got both phones home new the other day, I set one phone up first, and later in the evening first experienced this wifi problem. Thinking the phone had a fault, I continued and set up the second phone. But that also exhibited the same fault.
Note that all the time this is happening, I have 2 laptops, 3 other phones (included the other One X), and a media streamer, all connecting just fine to my same wifi access point. I doubt the access point is at fault - it has worked for years with the other equipment without issue.
Only the two One X's have intermittent problems connecting to it, and then not both at the same time.
So does anyone else experience this?

Might sound strange, but try rebooting the router. I was having problems with my One X, almost the same issue as you. My HTC Sensation would be fine and my Galaxy S and my laptop also fine, but my One X would have terrible WiFi performance, even tried deleting the wifi settings and re-connecting, and also a factory reset, to no avail. At this point i was ready to take it back as I thought it was faulty.
As a last desperate attempt i rebooted the router (unplugged it for 10 seconds then plugged it back in), and my One X has been perfect ever since. Doesn't quite make sense why one device but not others would have a problem, but worked for me anyway!

OK. Will certainly try that. Ta.

I posted a response to this same query in your other tread regarding streaming in mezzo.

I'm getting this with my new One X. I've tried rebooting the router, but it's no help.

same problem here, the solution until an update, is to take out the pasword from router, leave the wifi network without password

Are you serious? WiFi without password is an absolutely NoGo. I contacted today hTc with this problem. They said they know this problem, many users have reported it. They said to me I should let exchange my phone by my provider. That was not the the answer that I wanted to hear, but I hope they can fix it with a patch and it's not an hardware issue. But if you say deactivating the wifi password can temporaly fix this problem, it should be possible to fix it with an software patch.

I was having wifi problems as well and had lots of other devices which connected just fine. I reset the router and it seems to be going well...
Couldn't try it on another router to see if the router was the problem or it was the phone.
Otherwise love my new one x!!! YAYYY!

Got the same Problem. I just signed the device a fixed ip in the Router config and have no Problem since...
Maybe u should try some like that.

I have noticed WiFi drop outs. Have assigned a static ip, testing to see if it makes a difference

I've noticed an improvement since creating a static ip and setting it up following these instructions

Go to WIFi settings->Advanced->tick best WiFi performance
This fixed my issues

I assigned an ip for OX and ticked best wifi settings and have no problems
Mod or Die

Mine was showing the loop on connecting, authenticating, obtaining ip. That is a common problem in Android (and nowhere else), but I worked around it by connecting to a different router, then re-connecting to my own router. (In addition to all the other rebooting router, rebooting phone, rebooting refrigerator suggestions). Yup, static IP too. Still would get the problem.
Tracked it thru alogcat and can see the exact point of failure, but still cant fix it.
BUT IT GETS WORSE: My phone stopped scanning. It can't find ANY routers.
If you manually enter a hotspot it shows as not in range.

Mine is getting a little better with static ip and improved wifi performance ticked, but the issue is still here.

You lot should have posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586820 duplicate thread

UPDATE:
Rebooting the phone didn't help. (It would still not scan for routers)
In Power Settings, there is a checkbox called FAST BOOT.
It came from the factory checked.
I unchecked it and now wifi scanning works again.
I still get the connecting, authenticating, obtaining IP Loop, on some routers. Rebooting the router will solve that as a temporary fix.
There is also a setting called Best Wifi Performance, which some suggest keeps the wifi chip from entering a deep sleep mode, making wake up faster. I checked that too.
Still not happy with the wifi problems. (no, its not my router, 7 other android devices connect to it just fine. Laptops and printers also).

Thats exactly what I found out too. Therefore it would be necessary to give the One X a own IP but in its own config. Not only on the router.
Do you know if this cn be done?

[Q] Weird wifi issue

Hi everyone,
I'm enjoying my One X since last Thursday. I did have one problem, though : my wifi wasn't working at home. What happened is that the phone correctly connected at the network, but then it would "kill" the wifi.
I mean, neither of my laptop computer nor my old Desire (which were both connected before the One X) worked on wifi after I connected the One X, which by the way didn't work either.
Considering this issue I wen't to the carphone warehouse to have another phone.
I didn't go home straight, I got to try other wifi network, which worked perfectly.
But, at home, I'm still having the same issue !
Can anyone help me please ?

so none of your hardware is now connecting to your Wifi?
If so, I would suggest a hard reset of your Hub/router. If there is a reset button hold it in for 20-30 seconds, if not, unplug for 30 seconds.
If it's just your One X not connecting try going through settings to ensure its setup correctly.

Had the same issue with my sgs and avm fritzbox 7390. The only thing that helped was a complete factory reset of the fritzbox.

Try using a static ip, make sure it is unique.

There is a setting under wifi advanced to stop the wifi from sleeping when phone is off or kill it if the signal drops or if your phone is idle. I modified those and it works perfectly. Default setting is to kill it.
Nothing is wrong with your wifi. It's just the way you've got it setup.

Actually, my laptop and Desire are connected to the Wifi ; they can't connect only after i set my One X on the Wifi. It's like the phone is destroying the wifi network.

I didn't find those settings. In wifi advanced I only found an setting that disconnect the phone when signal is low.
I should mention that whenever the One X is set on wifi, it works for like a minute. Then all of my devices can't access the internet. Desire and One X are showing that they are connected, but no access to play store, browser... Computer is showing an error message "limited access". And my TV (which I get with my internet box) is freezing.
What I don't understand is that I tried on two friends' network, everything worked perfectly. Only at home As Cxpher said, I guess it must be my wifi that isn't set up correctly. But what can I do next, except hard reset and static ip ?
EDIT : I tried to connect the One X without having any other device connected. It worked, but as soon as I launched the Play Store, I lost the connection and had to reboot my box. Apparently the Play Store is messing everything up. Weither I have hardware connected or not, it never works (again, only at home).

Up.
Anyway, not being able to use my own wifi is a bit annoying

Same exact issue. Phone going back tomorrow.
WiFi fine for 2 years.
New one x WiFi dropping and having to reset router after 2 mins connected as all WiFi dies.
Seriously fcukd off!

Which router do you have? Is there any logging-function available in the router software/firmware?

Standard netgear.
It's been fine with s2 and hasn't needed to be reset for a over a year....until yesterday!.
Not overly tech, would a log facility help?

A log would help to see what is going on with the router when the phone connects. The fritzbox showed an authentication error when my sgs connected and killed the wifi for all devices in the network. Just googled your problem. Netgear and htc devices seem to have problems very often when connecting. You should try to get the newest fw for the netgear. Maybe that solves the problem.

Thanks for your help. Latest firmware is installed tho.
Bizzar issue!
Shame as its a nice phone too

I have a classic french box (called Bbox). For the record that actually is my second phone. I had the same issue with the first one, so I went directly to ask another one.

So has exchange phone resolved the issue?

Sorry I explained it wrong. I meant I already had the problem when I first bought the phone, so I went to get another one. I had the issue on both One X.

Well i have got a netgear router and have no problems at all must be something to do with you router or it setting i would do full reset and see if that helps

hi guys!
i had the same problem with my router ( netgear DGN 1000), i solved by updating the router firmware to latest manually! no more wifi drops now!
i hope this information can help all users with this issue!

In an other thread somebody had advised to deactivate the wifi password in the router. That helped fix the problem at his phone. I will try this too to confirm that. But wifi without password is an absolute NoGo in my opinion.
here the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24811292&postcount=6

I'm bringing this up again because issue is still here ; removing encryption on the wifi network changes nothing. Other thing now, it didn't only happened at home but also at work.
Warranty is now void, this is my second HOX and I had the same problem on both. Anyone has a magic solution ?

same issue
Im having the same wifi issue using a D-Link DIR-615. Wifi is working perfectly with other device but when my One X connect to wifi, it freeze the wifi network for all devices. I Always need to unplug/plug the AC cord to reboot and refresh the wifi network and after it may works for a couple of mins or maybe 1 hour and after I must reboot the router again.
My router firmware is up to date but there is no more support/firmware update for the DIR-615 REV. B since 2008!
I switched to static ip and snag persist so im back in dhcp.
I cleared the router log and will post it next time it will freeze.

[Q] Wifi connections fail after phone is on for a few hours

I've noticed over the past couple of weeks that even though wifi is turned on and my usual networks are remembered, (home, work etc...) my One X will not connect to the wifi after it has been on a while.
When I go into settings, the wifi status cycles through 'Connecting...', 'Disconnected' and 'Scanning...'. Turning the wifi on and off on the phone has no effect.
I'm not exactly sure how long this takes to stop working, but if I restart the device, it resets the problem and I am able to use wifi again. With the quick startup and a fairly large data plan, this isn't a massive deal, but it would still be nice to be able to connect to wifi without having to restart...
Anyone had this problem before/got any ideas as to what's causing it or how to fix it? I've searched for this problem in the One X forums but found nothing, sorry if it's been brought up before...

...I have the same issue on these security protocols
WPA (TKIP)
WPA (AES)
WPA2 (TKIP)
WPA2 (AES)
WPA Mixed
Tried switching bands B, then G, now on Mixed B+G but keeps scanning, aquiring ip (Wireless router broadcasting DHCP) then skips back to scanning looping again and again.
If I reset the password on my router then it will aquire ip and be fine, but if I disconnect wireless on the phone and then try reconnect it just loops as before unless i reset the password on the router again..
Tried upgrading firmware to latest
Switched from channel 1 to 6 (midway)
It only works on the most basic WEP (hex10) setting...which surprises me as my Desire, a 2 year old device, worked just fine on WPA.
SO try WEP?

I don't want to spoil your day but I think you have a faulty unit. The same thing happened to me, with my first One X. After 4 days and nights of painfully trying everything that could fix the problem, I returned the phone and got another one. Worked strait out of the box, no issues whatsoever.
The only ways I could keep the connection was to change the security of the router to WEP, or frequently reset the router.
So if you have the possibility, change the device. Good luck.

Hmm ok thanks... Did you go through HTC or the company you bought the contract from? Just wondering whether HTC's replacement service is better than 'post it back and we'll send you a new one in a week'...

Having read in advance about the issues the One X has, described here on XDA, I decided to wait untill a reputed retailer had in physical stock, and got to see and power on the device. This also allowed a quick and hassle free exchange.
Regarding the WiFi problem, you cannot just go asking around every 30':
"... excuse me, could you please restart your
router? ... Or maybe change the security protocol to WEP?..."
I mean it's fine if you only connect vis WiFi at home where you can customize as much as you can, but what's the point of a mobile device if it's just "somewhat" mobile...:banghead:
So try and see if you can get a refund for your phone and get another from a retail store, check for screen spots, screen flickering, screen flex and of course the WiFi issue.
On the other hand the phone is truly amaizing almost cannot let it down...
Forgot to specify: One X grey, unbranded, network free.

G4 refuses to connect to wifi

My G4 only starting to act retarded about a week ago. It refuses to connect to any network. It gets hung up on obtaining IP address and then just disables wifi and starts this loop again. I have no idea how to fix this, there are no network settings under developer settings (**** you VZW) and I'm lost.
Can someone help?

Hi buddy I'm gonna ask you some stupid questions just to rule out some things ,
A. Have you been any apps like WiFi kill or csPLOIt
B. Have you been using the any xposed module like the settings editor or anything similar
C. Have you tried doing a factory reset???

I've had this problem a few times. It has magically "fixed itself" but then come back some time later. It has been ok for a while now (touch wood). A couple of things worth checking:
1) Have you tried rebooting in safe mode to see if it still happens? When it was in the broken state, mine would still connect to WiFi when rebooted in safe mode. Conventional wisdom suggests that this means it's an app that is causing this problem but I'm not so sure.
2) Do you have Bluetooth turned on? When mine was in the broken state, it would connect to WiFi when Bluetooth was turned off, suggesting some kind of strange interaction between the two.
3) Are you connecting to a 5Ghz network or a 2.4Ghz one? Mine only exhibited the problem when trying to connect to 2.4Ghz networks.
