Hello xda,
Firstly I wanted to say thank you all for existing, Ive had much fun customising my HTC Desire and now my One X because of your articles. Even using google, all roads led to XDA.
Now to the problem...
Yesterday the official Jelly bean update for my One X, and since then Ive had a bunch of Wifi problems:
As soon as I connect to Wifi, I get about 10 seconds of internet, then nothing will connect until I turn Wifi off/on again, when this repeats, of course. This happens on both the 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks at my home.
If I use a network that have other users on it, it will disconnect for everyone.
The Wifi works on my phone properly when I change the router to 802.11b mode, but signal strength is poor.
I cleared the cache in recovery and when that didnt work I performed a factory rest, also didnt solve the problem.
I have read up about the problem and tried all solutions but I was thinking about going back to having my phone unlocked and rooted etc as this was what I had originally until I relocked it to get the official update (which has come back to bite me in the butt)
I guess this biggest question would be: Would getting a custom ROM fix this problem? Im asking this instead of going ahead with it like I normally do because I dont really want to make it worse if I can help it.
If anyone else knows enough about this problem, or the cause of it, that would be swell. Is it because of the fact that its been relocked/unrooted? Others who have stock standard phones have had the same problem but I want to be sure.
Some info:
HTC One X - unbranded CID HTC_023
Software #: 3.17.728.1
Android: 4.1.1
Stock Kernal
Stock Recovery
S-ON
HBOOT: 1.39.0000
Relocked Bootloader
Network 2Degrees New Zealand
WIFI Router:
TP-LINK TL-WDR3600
ISP: Telstraclear NZ
Its probably not super brief, but I want to make sure I have everything you need.
Thanks!
This sounds like the problem that existed on early JB hboots prior to 1.36, if I recall. Don't know why you have the problem, it's very odd.
My advice : make a nandroid of the stock rom and flash a different rom ! The bootloader has already been unlocked so the state of warranty will not change if unlock it again. Worth the try ..... going back to the reseller is always an option after this !
I don't have this problem and i've updated to JB for some time now.I am not an expert on anything,but a friend of mine had similar problems with the wifi that you have,except that his wifi would randomly turn off and on from time to time in addition to your problems.After going to the HTC repair center they replaced his Wifi antena because it was faulty,and after that he didn't had any problems.The strangest thing is that he was using a custom rom(ARHD if i recall right) and HTC accepted to repair his phone,that simply amazed me because i tought that once you unlock your bootloader and install a custom rom,you're guarantee will be voided.Anyway,sorry for the long post and stories,but you can call or sent an email to HTC regarding this issue,you might have a faulty antena.
Yeah I thought it might be the faulty antennae halabaloo that people talked about for most One X phones, but the Wifi was fine before the JB update and I haven't dropped it around the same time (though almost threw it at the wall)
Also it looks like Ill have to wait a bit for a custom rom, as the stock kernal is the only one that plays nice with the new HBOOT. Touchscreen is not working in rom or recovery.
A bunch of other people with HTC_023 had this same problem.
I'm on _023 and Touch does not work with CWM (not really that big a deal), but works fine with the stock ROM. No issues with wifi, just an odd issue with the voice->text that seems to affect only my phone. Do yourself a favour and make a nandroid backup and store it on your computer so you don't have to poke around for one later.
I'm also on HTC__023 with JB update and have found since the update that it dosen't like 5ghz wifi yet 2.4ghz is fine
I am on the same ota and my wifi does not work at all. Hopefully HTC figures this out. This is my 2nd HOX the first one had the bad antenna.
don't let the cat lick the butter
Ok I think I fixed it, if youve got wifi problems on a 5ghz network, youll have to change the mode to 802.11a and channel to 36 on the router (at least, thats what I did) and it works again!
If I use a network that have other users on it, it will disconnect for everyone.

Isn't it an AP problem? With the new wireless module in JB the phone WiFi may talk a bit differently to the AP. I would suggest to check with different APs and to upgrade router/AP firmware.
I am facing a very peculiar issue that makes my mobile internet dysfunctional. Whenever I switch from 2G/3G to WiFi and then switch back to 2G/3G from WiFi, the internet refuses to work unless I restart my phone. Once, the phone is restarted, it works like a charm again till the time I switch to WiFi again. Sometimes though, 2G/3G would not work even if I do not switch to WiFi. Also, rarely, it still may work even as I switch back from WiFi to 2G/3G. This issue has plagued me since a long time and is sometimes accompanied by call drops.
I took my phone to a Samsung Service centre but it wasn't of any use. They do nothing except reflashing the stock rom. It did fix the problem for a while but in an hour or in a day(or in some random time duration) the problem resurfaced. I took my phone to the service centre, just to get this problem fixed. I have tried switching between different modes in settings: GSM/WCDMA/auto etc
I also tried contacting my mobile carrier and got my sim card changed. Therefore, the mobile carrier is not at fault (Internet works flawlessly after I restart, remember?). How do I fix this? It is really irritating to restart the phone every time I need to use the internet. Please help! :-/
Maybe try flashing a different modem. I had various data and call issues on my i9300. After flashing 10 or so different modems I found one from aveuropean carrier worked best. Im in the uk btw

Thanks for replying thedadio!
But I've never flashed a modem before and have no clue which one to choose. Is it same as flashing a custom rom? Also, can I brick my device while flashing modems?
Yes its similar to flashing custom ROM. What ROM are you on and what modem are you on?
McLaren__F1, I am on stock 4.1.2. Also, I just tried flashing DDALJ1 modem (As I'm from India) and Perseus kernel. None of these steps helped me in any way. Still the same issues. :-/
Which is your network provider? I had the similar problems when I was on docomo..nw ported to airtel nd problem solved.
Btw did you try some other np's sim?

I am currently using Airtel (Prepaid). I haven't tried using any other np's sim though..
I have the exact same problem. I am with optus Australia. I tried different modems, different ROMs but all have the same problem. I have sent mine away to be replaced and am still waiting for the new one. Very frustrating problem.

I'm not sure if they'll replace mine. It has been almost 6 months since I bought it..
How do I solve this? Any clue anyone? :|
My Note2 does this sometimes & only fix is a restart.
try soft format may its helpful
Not a fix, but toggling airplane mode on and off does the job for me.
Interestingly this happens to me only when leaving one particular WiFi access point.

i got exatly same proplem, 3g not working after leaving wifi of my workplace, but when im home i have no proplems if i decide leave my home network.
could it be related to radio type wifi has?? my workplace still using old hardware with radiotype of .g and leaving that network "kills" mobile network and i need to reboot phone, but my home network is .n and im not having proplems after leaving it. if its related to wifis radiotype it should be easy for someone to write script which reboot mobile network after leaving those wifi networks.

Doesn't work for me. This problem is strange. :-/
No one has a solution for this problem on XDA?
Did you use the NFC to scan anything by any chance? I don't know if it could be related but my phone started to have issues around the same time I bought some NFC tags and started programming and scanning them.
I still haven't got my replacement phone back yet. But I'll let you know if it still has issues in my problem spots. Than we'll know if the problem was with the phone or just this model.

Nope! I haven't used NFC at all.
Ohh, okay..Eagerly waiting for your response! *Fingers crossed*
Tested replacement phone today and the problem seems to be gone. The signal was actually stronger than all my previous phones.
This issue could be a hardware problem as from what I have searched on the net it seams to affect only a few people. I just hope if I root the phone the problems don't come back.
Maybe you could try send it away for repair if they won't replace it.

Looks like I spoke too soon. The issues are still there. While waiting for my replacement phone I was using an old HTC wildfire and had no issues with the data connection so it must be an issue with this model.
Hi. 2 days ago my note 2 suddenly stopped connecting to the internet. i get the message "network disabled. poor connection". i have tried many different wireless (public, home, work, parents, friends) with the same resault. first i tried a factory reset to see if that fixed the problem, but it didnt.
the phone were at that point on the first german 4.1.2 version, so i decided to install the latest firmware for Nordic countries (since im from Norway) to see if it would fix it. but still the same problem.
today i tested my wifes S3 to see if she had the same problem, and she did. so now both our phones are without internet. does anyone have an idea on how to fix it? should i try a different 4.1.2 version for another country or should i downgrade to 4.1?
Same problem me s3 any solution.?

Sounds like the problem is not with the phones but with the network. you can try waiting a while to see if things improve, or else do a power-down reboot of your router AND your phones to see if that will solve the problem.
Reboot your device first off. Check if other devices can connect to said network. Worst case reboot your internet equipment (router/modem). Failing all that are the phones rooted? If so try a different radio

Need more info....download samsung phone info and post a screenshot of the firmware tab. If your bootlader and baseband dont match, theres your problem. If they do, try reflashing stock (twice) then doing a tactory reset from the stock recovery right after. If after that the issue is still present....probably something else.....mabey hardware related. Good luckl
Do you use bluetooth? I had a very similar problem and figured out that the only time I had call audio was when I was using a bluetooth headset or the bluetooth in my car. I don't know what sets it off but I've done some searching on this problem and it appears to be common among GSM GS4 owners, and even doing stuff like a complete reset doesn't fix it.
The one fix that I did find, that helped some people, was to go into Google Now and disable "Okay Google" detection from any screen. Several people found that that worked. But I didn't have that feature enabled anyway so it didn't apply.
I don't know if the same problem occurs with CDMA GS4s; my wife has a Sprint GS4 and doesn't have the problem but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I think it was just AT&T and T-Mobile GS4 owners who reported this.

I don't have Bluetooth, I've tried it with a wired headset and even that didn't work, but what's so puzzling about this is that my calling works fine with Facebook messenger calling feature, hangouts and things like that

Edit:
Nevermind. It worked twice then I tried calling a different phone and it broke again. I will keep searching and update.
Original:
I have had this issue intermittently for the past year. It was fixed for about 6 months then two weeks ago started occurring again. Today I flashed a new Rom (PacMan) and the M919UVUFOK3_M919TMBFOK3_TMB firmware. That did not fix it. I was connecting to a 5Ghz WiFi so on a whim I forgot that network and made a call without WiFi enabled. Call worked!
So I connected to my 2.4Ghz WiFi and it is working again. I would try turning off WiFi and see if your calls go through if so it could be 5Ghz or the router...maybe a forget network / reconnect to network will fix it consistently.
Hope this helps you and if anything new comes up I will let you know.
So an update. I finally just gave up on it. My wife had an old phone I remembered (from 2 - 3 years ago) that was ran over and the digitizer broke. I just took her guts and put it in my phone and now it magically works. Hopefully it stays that way.
Should have done this years ago as my phone would no longer charge with the USB Cable nor was my SD Card accessible. Now it is all functioning right again.

So after flashing stock NB4 twice.....and factory resetting after from stock recovery, your still not getting call audio?.....doesnt make sense....try again and make sure the bootloader and baseband match.....and dont reboot into download from the OS.
For anyone having issues with no call audio through cell service but for some reason it works through data calls through whats app or facebook messenger, etc ,i have been having the same problem for awhile now. I believe i have traced it to be a hardware issue with the middle frame, when looking at the phone with the battery cover open on the top right over by where there are two markings R1 and L1. There is a module there labeled J-AT TMGA 7-3. When i was having issues i noticed that if i put slight pressure on that module my audio would fade back in on the call but if i put too much pressure it goes away again. If it is a hardware connectivity issue it would explain why slunked was able to get his phone working again by changing the guts in the unit. Im currently waiting for a middle frame and a blue cable for the antenna to confirm if this is indeed the issue.
Hello
I've had this phone for a few months now and over all it's been a great device. Only issue is, it doesn't seem super compatible with the UK network - Three. When I got the device I had to manually set it up for my SIM, it wasn't able to fetch the correct settings. I sometimes get poor netrwork connectivity issues with the data, but turning off the data radio and back on again seems to fix this.
My issue is that my phone frequently randomly soft resets itself, or switches out of an app im using or locks the device. It's really perculiar and I don't know what causes it. My hunch however, is some kind of network issue, as weird as that may sound.
I took it to Colombia for a couple of weeks and whilst I was there I didn't have any of these issues. It was the same SIM but it was using a local Colombian network. I can't recall which one. Yet as soon as I'm back in the UK, it doesn't have this issue...
I've spoke to the seller and they are happy for me to return and to replace / repair, however I just want to check if there is a simple fix for this issue. I'm currently using the device without my sim in, to test if this is the issue. Has anyone had similar experience or could theorise why I'm having this issue?
TIA
