Hi all
Finally figured out that fast dormancy has been what's causing connectivity issues on our phones since we switched networks.
I found a ROM to disable it for my phone, One S, but couldn't find a similar ROM for the One V. Does anyone know of one or know how to do it manually (both devices are rooted)?

My wife's just got a tablet so wants to get it connected via her Wildfire.
We tried turning it on last night but it's not working properly - the hotspot functionality itself seems be enabled properly, but in Wireless and Networks, the text under the 'Mobile network' option keeps cycling between 'Connected' and 'Use phone for data connection...'.
The text 'Wi-Fi hotspot active' keeps appearing and disappearing from the notification area.
We appear to be able to successfully connect the tablet via wifi to the Wildfire but there's no internet access.
The handset is completely stock and unbranded (Froyo, build 2.22.405.1). Internet access in general is fine and my wife's data plan specifically allows tethering (GiffGaff UK, using a Gigabag).
Has anyone else encountered this issue and found a way around this? Am willing to start rooting and flashing other ROMs if it will solve the problem.
for tethering try the Barnacle wifi tethter app from market - works for me
I'll give that a try when I get home and report back here.
Have you ever tried it using the in-built functionality and either found it to work or not? Considering I've not had problems with my own handsets (previously a Desire, now a Sensation) it seems odd that I can't get it to work on my wife's Wildfire.
I used the built in one on stock rom with no problems at all on 2 wildfires, I used to use all mine then leech from the girlfriends. Could it be a problem with her apn setting? Maybe call customer service and check its set correctly for tethering.
Personally I'd tell her its broke though and flash it like I did the girlfriends purely because I'm a flashaholic!!

Just in case anyone was wondering (or for the benefit of future searchers)... I finally got the Hotspot working after I installed a custom ROM (DK Custom Froyo v4.7 - I didn't want anything too different to Stock).
Custom kernels etc. didn't work (in fact, the one I tried destabilised the handset), neither did other options such as Barnacle on the stock ROM.
Thanks everyone for trying.
Hi guys, just wanted to preface that I checked out multiple threads on 'weak wifi' issues and could not find a solution.
Here is my issue:
- I have a rooted (S-OFF/ENG-OFF) HTC Desire HD from Telus.
- I was running Android Revolution but decided to try a different ROM. At this point I had no trouble with wifi.
- Anyway, I tried an ICS ROM (IceColdSandwich-8.0.AOKP) but started noticing that the wifi connection was very weak. It would connect, open a couple of sites, but within 2 minutes, the signal would weaken to zero bars and it couldn't connect. The same thing happened with Google Play, Gmail sync etc.
- I know it is not a router issue as I have a HTC Desire Z right next to me and it has no problem connecting.
Here is what I've tried, software/hardware wise:
- Took off the battery cover and cleaned the contacts.
- For Sense ROMs, I went to advanced wifi setttings, and selected "Best Wifi Performance" and/or DLNA auto-IP.
- Turned wifi on/off.
- Tried a bunch of ROMs (Virtuous_Quattro_RC3, BlackICE v 1.50, DHD_WWE_3.12.405.1, AOSPX-1.0, etc.)
- All ROMS have been flashed after a full wipe using Android Revolution ROM's Full wipe (which works for all roms in CWM)
- Flashed new radios (26.14.04.28 and a couple of others)
What more can I do?
Thanks.
Hey I am currently running the same rom on a Telus DHD rooted.
I had the same issue and it apparently has something to do with whether your network is b or g based. If you play around with your routers settings and check to see which band you're currently using on it, change it and check it out. 5ghz is what mine is running and its working great.
Also as a note if you ever have problems with joining a ad hoc network make sure that you have it set as a open network with no passwords otherwise it won't even let you get a IP address for some reason. Its a limitation of all the ICS roms currently.

Thanks for replying. I'll try it out. If this information was already covered in another thread, I'd appreciate it if you could link me to it.
Hello everybody!
It's been 10 days since I got my M8 and I have finally managed to narrow the reason of the crashes down to WiFi connections.
My phone crashes at a random frequency as long as it is connected to any wifi network, does not do this on 3G/2G and I have so far tested using 3 different access points and using different wifi modes on the device.
2.4GHz
5GHz
Wi-Fi optimization on/off
On Build.prop I have tried to disable AC, N, b/g and tested all in an isolated manner.
Following these tests and no improvement; I've decided to root my device, flashed and tested using the two most commonly used kernels and ROMs: Still no result so I have decided to make this post, also following a long search on the web about this and no body seems to experience it, that I could find of at least.
I am stuck at this point, any thoughts?

This is clearly a hardware issue. Warranty it. I never understood why someone would root to add stability. Rooting will add features and customizability but not stability. Things will be most stable with stock, if things are crashing on stock that should work normally, it's time for warranty.
Hi all,
I just came from a CM11 M9 on a Verizon SGS3. I am at a point in my life where the I don't need to have a custom ROM anymore (must be getting old). However, the biggest feature I am missing is the automatic profile switching via WIFI and NFC. Does anyone have any recommendations on an app that does exactly what CM did?
hey all
some of my apps have no access to my router wifi otherwise my laptop and other apps getting internet without problem
iam using Insertcoin 6.0.4 ,these apps not getting internet access (Adaway,ic market,appcake ) , i don't know whats problem ,any solution?
(With GPE every apps Work properly )
Same wifi problem here (HTC One M8)
I have exactly the same problem.
This started when I got a new Internet-access at home. My old router: No problems, but the new one gives me these problems. It's only on the HTC M8 that I'm experiencing these problems. Other phones and tablets no problem. On other Wifi-networks my M8 works fine...
I do have a working internetconnection. Both 2,4 GHz as 5Ghz are working, but some apps and internetbrowser give problems.
I'm using Android 5.0.1. Stock on my HTC One M8
I don't know what to look for. Anyone?
Thanks
