I have an annoying problem with connecting my Desire to my home wifi. When connecting the wifi symbol appears within a few seconds but sometimes it won't actually transfer any data for up to a minute. I'm currently using DevNull 1.0.4 with radio version 32.44.00.32u_5.09.05.30_2 but have had the same problem with some other custom ROMs.
My router is a Netgear, using WPA2 encryption and the SSID is not hidden. My laptop always connects within seconds, so I don't think that's where the problem is.
Installing Wifi Fixer does make it connect much faster, but a few times I've seen it fail the ping test and then reassociate before it connects successfully. Trying to Google this has not turned up anything terribly helpful, partly because I'm not sure how to phrase it.
Can anyone suggest what might be wrong and how to fix it? Wifi Fixer does seem to be doing the job but I don't think I should have to have a third party app to make my wifi work.
Update your radio to 5.14.05.08 or what ever the newest radio is. Also, go into your router and change the wireless channel settings.

Might have something to do with the default setting that HTC applies to the wifi connection I'm not to sure on the exact figures but from what I gather HTC set the minimum wifi connection quite high I know that I used to drop my wifi connection a fair bit on my desire HD until I used leedroids kernel and my connection is much more stable now

Thanks guys. Updating to the newest radio didn't help, so I tried 32.54.00.32u_5.14.05.17 and that does seem to have made a difference in that several times over the course of the evening I was able to connect with no problems. I'll also look at the wifi channel, is there a particularly good one to use or should I just use wifi analyser to look for a channel with no interference?
I doubt it's a default HTC setting as I'm using DevNull which ships with one of Thalamus' custom kernels, but I'm grateful for any suggestions.
I have a
HTC DESIRE A8181 (OEM unlocked)
Android: 2.2
radio: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
What's been done to my phone: last night & this morning (no sleep yet )
Rooted using Unrevoked
S-Off with Alpharev
Still like to flash an upgraded RADIO & RUU Rom
the problem i have:
NOTE: this was before last night changes (6 days ago it started)
basically i cant WIFI to my modem
my pc's are all ethernet cable but my modem leaked enough if i was next to it (at my main PC) i could wifi connect with my CP to update / go on to the android market etc etc.
Only if i was sitting close to my modem/router
i have this MODEM/ROUTER Iconnect 624W
SETUP: will give you an idea on settings.
http://support.onthenet.com.au/internet-setup/broadband-setup/opennetworks/iconnect-624/
THE FIX: THIS IS IN THE MODEM/ROUTER SETTINGS.
in "wireless setup"
i followed above instructions in the link - mine was basically setup SSID etc EXCEPT my CHANNEL B/G was set at 1 i changed to 4
i changed this setting after 6 attempts of connecting with no success i personally think this B/G setting on 1 was my problem. until i changed it to 4.
in "wireless security"
i followed above instructions as above again. SSID as above preset & just entered my "PSK STRING" (your password here)
saved etc as in the guide.
turned CP off & back on done a scan it picked up my modem entered the PSK STRING password
fixed & i can get internet in the back yard or any room now on my CP's
.
Well I've changed the channel on my router and the problem remains, it turned out that changing the radio hadn't sorted it. Still stuck with wifi fixer...
Regards
I have a problem with wifi after I put update on 2.3.3
whether it can solve this problem with wifi.
I always shoot and it turns the wifi network.
be a good wifi network signal then disappears
Same problem here
This is a very serious problem. Get ur act together HTC, this is just unacceptable!
Are you rooted? HTC raised the signal strength at which the connection would be dropped, there is a fix if you are rooted, otheewise you are stucm and will have to wait for HTC to correct this.

Have you tried another radio? of course be careful if you do change it
same issue, though htc say that its a "new feature" to provide a seamless mobile broadband experience by automatically chosing the strongest signal. whatever you say htc
i just disable mobile data at home, so it cant jump back to 3g and stays on wifi. the annoying thing with this is that i forget to enable mobile data when leaving the house.
i hope they sort it out, and that this new feature isn't rolled out across their other products
I am having the same problem. At work, my wifi connection is weak, but was always functional. Now, I cannot connect to my work wifi. On top of that, my battery drains twice as fast on my phone, and I'm thinking that it's due to the phone always scanning and trying to connect to the wifi signal. If it's true that HTC changed the level at which the wifi signal is dropped, this was a terrible decision.

I think this may answer/point to the problem I'm having since installing the Gingerbread RUU. I use the quick settings app from the market and pre-gingerbread it used to switch between wi-fi/mobile pretty seemlessly, turning off the unused option. Now if there's no wi-fi connection that option seems to stay on (probably searching) while it's connected to mobile data. As above, my battery is draining like a sieve.

Same problem for me with Original Rom.
so i tried the Revoloution HD 5.1.4 and same problem again!
Hi guys until HTC release an OTA fix (that's if they do) the only way to resolve this is to root and then try some different ROM and radio combinations until you find one that works for you.
I find the ROM and radio from my signature work really well on WiFi but if you are going to do this make sure and root, gain S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. Also make sure you have the correct RIL for the ROM and radio that you are using
There are lots of threads on the dev section that guide you through this.
Wifi connecting
I have a similar problem with wifi connection. Only it doesn't disconnect during a connection but when establishing a wifi connection it takes much longer than it used to on Froyo. Anyone else noticed this?
i have problem too with wifi
I really hope htc has stopped the updates and resumes with a new build with the wifi problem fixed
The issue is with the Gingerbread Sense ROMs.

WiFi problems with routers
Hi there,
Same problem here. Both my WiFi router and phone say signal and reception quality are perfect and connection it stable, but data won't flow.
I'm having this problem with my Speedtouch (WEP key) router at home, whereas a Sitecom router at the office works fine (WPA etc. key).
Tried some work arounds, without success
Regards
***EDIT***
I can add that it has nothing to do with the reported threshold of -88dB signal strength. As I checked that with the *#*#4636#*#* option and both higher and lower values of the WiFi reception don't make any difference. The problem persists.
***EDIT v2***
The suggestion posted elsewhere to change from WEP to WPA didn't work out either
***EDIT v3***
Reverted back to ARHD 3.7 and WiFi is running fine again .
Hope some fix will be found soon!
Regards,
Is there any solution. I am trying to downgrade the radio but no chance.
If I use LeeDroid or Revolution will this same problem be there?
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.

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
After trying variuos ROMs (2 variants of Sense ROMs and this CM11 one) I am still unable to avoid a serious and quite known problem: when connected to Wifi my battery drains fast. After installing BBS I noticed that the phone doesn't go into deep sleep. Something is keeping it awake. The strange thing about this issue is that just a few of the HOX's seem to be affected. I'm curious what do you guys think about it and maybe you have some advices? I really love my HOX, but this is shortening my battery life too much. I'd rather try everything before selling the device. Thank you in advance.
I attached a BBS log. With current settings (location reporting and stuff) if I disable Wifi everything is ok.

P.S. Also tried relocking, reflashing firmware, unlocking then flashing custom ROM but still no luck...

Hi, I had this problem too in history with all my phones. Problem was not on phone, but in WiFi router's settings. Do you have problem only on certail WiFi network or on all WiFi networks? Do you have this problem too when you are not near WiFi (for example in forest...)?

I'm having this problem with my home & office router. Didn't have the chance to test with other routers. I keep wifi on at all times but once the connection to the wifi network is closed, problem is gone. It must be in the software somewhere because my router is way older than the problem. Maybe with the update to JB HTC broke compat with some routers or their settings? Who knows... My wife has the HTC Desire 500 and she doesn't have this issue.
