Hey guys, i've just received my desire today and been using my current data connection with no problem, except every time i try to open google maps, it comes up with the error "this application requires a data connection". I have updated the firmware to the lastest.
I have searched for this error but the only thing that will come up is about a data connection being dropped when trying to use google maps/gps... except my data connection stays 4 bars the whole time.
thanks, Brandon

Brandon, does the data connection works again after you stop Google Maps (without a reboot) ?

Brandon,
I did a hard reset (return to factory settings ) on my Desire today and guess what:
Both my Data problems (no data after use of Wifi and or GPS) are gone !
Tested several times Wifi & GPS , also did a reboot and tested again, all seems working again, no more 3G data problem anymore.
So I guess one of the extra apps I installed caused the 3G Data Connection issue.
I'll reïnstall them one by one to see if I can catch the "guilty" one.
I also hope that problem doesn't return after a while without a cause.
Still not working

I have tried this method. Everything was fine - my phone (rooted Samsung galaxy core duos JB 4.1.2) got faster. But google maps can't connect. I am stuck at the screen where you have to accept the terms and coditions (as it is launched for the first time).
Hope someone has encountered and fixed this error.
Hello, i know this has been discussed here before, but i wanted to ask for help anyway. My Wifi was working perfectly fine on Android 4.1, but after this update to 4.2.2 its really bad.
I know its software issue, pressing right top corner of my HOX doesnt help at all. I tried factory reset, but it didnt help. I´m running official ROM and no root. The problem is that sometimes when i have full signal strenght, the wifi speed is still horrible (like 0.5mb on 10mb wifi).
Any suggestions what to try? Thanks a lot

I have exactly the same problem. All HTC customer service suggested was factory reset, tried that and no difference. On 4.1 it worked fine on my wifi at home throughout the house, now on 4.2, works ok downstairs but useless upstairs even when it says I have 4 bars of signal. Very one times flaky though and sometimes drops to 1 or none. This is a disaster as I understand there is no way to roll back to 4.1. This is unbelievable!! How can an official update totally break basic functionality with no way back!? Searched all over Internet to find a solution and no luck, even though a fair few people seem ro have this problem. Is not a hardware problem, as OP, squeezing top right makes no difference. Have tried static IP, doesn't help. Desperate for help, can any wise heads on here suggest anything? Thanks!
So wish I had not updated, it worked brilliantly before.
Same situation here after the update... With full signal keep having horrible Wifi speed... :'(

Do you have the same problem 4play975? Seems quite a few people do..! As per OP my phone is not rooted and don't want to root it really.
Any chance anyone can suggest any other solutions to try?
Failing that, some details on what Richmondos fix is would be useful!!
Yeah, I really dont want to root my phone too, because i have warranty for more than 1 year now and I will sell the phone in future, so I dont wanna risk loosing warranty..
I also have similar problem! But it varies, sometimes it's bad and sometimes not??? Phone is stock and locked and don't want to unlock and install custom stuf, until warranty period is over.
Hello to all
I have the same wi-fi problem on my HTC One X since I made the update.
Is there any way to solve this?I hope so, because Wi-Fi signal is very bad, and I use it a lot of time.
I have CWM recovery installed,bootloader unlocked, and s-on, recently I have rooted my phone,
but at this moment is not.
I dont care installing new kernel, radio,etc........I just want to solve this problem :crying:
Tanks to all
I have a problem with my wifi too since the Andriod 4.2.2 and Sense 5 update, but it seems to be a bit different from yours. The speedtest.net app and the ping & DNS app give the same results as my PC that is hard wired to the router, so speed and ping seem to be fine.
But I get errors like Connection Problem Authentication via the proxy server was unsuccessful - but I don't use a proxy server. In the HOX wifi settings for that router the Proxy settings are Manual, Proxy hostname 127.0.0.1 and proxy port 3128. Are these correct for when there is no proxy? If switch from Manual to None and go back in then it has gone back to those settings.
Another error is Connection Problem this page contains too many server redirects. But the page displays fine if I switch to mobile data.
Or I get Connection Problem there was a network error. Again it works fine on mobile data.
Then there are some webpages that give a 404 page cannot be found error. Again it works fine on mobile data.
Some of these problems are repeatable on the same webpages across different routers in different buildings.
Sometimes when connecting to a router the HOX connects and the loses the connection and then reconnects up to 10 times before settling on the connection.
Like you I would rather not root etc if possible.
So, noone know a solution for users without root? I found out that on some wifi (in school), it works quite fine even on worse signal. But before update, it was ok on every wifi..
Hi
i have the same problem with my wlan connection. Nearly 100kb/s.
I had tested my internet download speed on my computer and takes interesting information:
my internet connection is 70MBit, this means i can download with nearly 8,2 MB/s.
If my HOX is not connected to the router, the whole downloadspeed is available on the computer. But if the HOX is connected, the downloadspeed is only 1 MB/s.
After disconnecting and rebooting the router, the internet connection is as well as before.
Does anyone makes the experiences?
regards
Daniel
I don't have the speed problems, Speedtest.net app gives the same results on my HOX as my PC.
One of my wifi problems is to do with the Wi-fi connecting to a weak signal instead of the stronger one - I have worked around this by installing WiFi Fixer App which works well at switching to the stronger signal.
Also there are some websites that give errors like Server Error too Many Redirects (for example http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ does that for me) or 404 Error - Page Cannot be Found (http://fahrbot.co.uk/) or are sometimes slow to load - I have found that these issues don't happen with the Opera Mini app, so why does the stock browser give these problems when on wifi, but not on mobile data?
Another one is that if I click a link in a webpage (or type in a URL) that takes me to a webpage that has a mobile version as well as the desktop version I get a strange URL that doesn't work. For example on mobile data typing in www.abmobileapps.com takes me to the mobile version of the website, but on wifi the URL automatically changes to http://www.abmobileapps.comhttp/www.abmobileapps.com/ and the page cannot be found. Again it works in mini Opera on wifi.
WIFI FIX
if you use rooted device, use lyapota mods and flash modpack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2114584 (contin wififix and other).
for me works great :highfive: (my router has openwrt)
I found out that on some other wifis speed works just fine. I have router D-Link DIR-600 with stronger antenna than it was stock. I use WPA2 security and Dynamic IP.
Is there anything what I should try to fix it? Thanks for any suggestions.
Here are some advices how to fix the WiFi issues - router dependent (need access to the router setup):
1. Make sure that you are not using channel 11-13
2. Disable "WMM Support" in router Wireless -> Advanced Settings. Note: this will force G-only speed (54Mb)
3. You you want to keep the N speed, put your phone in the highest possible QoS priority without disabling the "WMM Support"
Hope this helps

Thanks for the tips...
So, we will change WMM settings for all wifi modems that we connect...
Shame on you HTC...Next time I will ignore HTC while buying a new mobile phone...
after flashing lyopotas mod pack my hox'S wifi seems to work again like it's supposed
maybe it helps
After update,
i can't use my home wifi (Innacomm),using other wifi okay.
conneted but can't surf internet (error 404) but can only use opera mini (very very very slow).
Using other device no problem with the wifi..anyone can help me? TQ :crying:
The problems I am having with proxy and 404 errors are all caused by the Web Protection feature in Kaspersky Internet Security for Android since the OTA to Android 4.2.2 (it worked fine previously). I have installed the latest KIS 11.1.4.141 from the Kaspersky website (because Google Play says it is up to date at version 11.1.3) but the problem still occurs. So I have turned off Web Protection in KIS and all my issues have been cleared up.

The wifi works fine for a while and then just dies. The wifi icon is still in the statusbar but no matter what app I open that uses the internet connection, nothing will ever load and Whatsapp messages will not be sent. When I disable wifi and re-enable it, there's a ! next to the wifi signal bar stating there's no internet connection and of course, none of my internet dependant apps work still. I have to reboot my phone (shut it down and turn it back on; apparently they never thought of adding a restart option) to get my wifi to work properly again. This happened a few days ago as well and I really hope I don't have to reboot my phone every couple of days to get my wifi working. So any suggestions? (No suggestions that include flashing a custom ROM on it or rooting it!!) A factory reset won't help because I bought the phone with Android 6.0.1 already pre-installed. I have the security patch of july 2016 installed.
P.S. My 4g internet works fine.
How about giving rebooting the router a try.

I have a similar error.
That my Nexus partially can not access the Internet via wireless, to which it constantly changes between the wireless and mobile data.
Does this have to do with the "intelligent network change" setting, if so how can you turn off the setting, in marshmallow is this setting not available.
The trouble also occurs with other routers.

I did that the first time it happened since my router tends to freeze once in a while, even with the weekly schueduled reboot. But the thing is, my iPad still had internet while my Nexus didn't so it was definitely on the phone's end. I did a quick Google search and a plethora of other cases popped up so I knew I wasn't the only one. Apparently those wifi issues have been around ever since the update to 6.0.1 and the fact that Google did absolutely NOTHING to fix it those 9 months is just ridiculous!
Hi!
You've got the option to try the Android 7 (Nougat) Developer (now released: Preview 5) version.
Works fine and stable for me, and there is a slight chance that it will help with your problem.
Just join the: android.com/beta
And you can always roll back to your current Android version.
Firmware 47.1.A.16.20 available.
It's a big change in the version number but no big changes visible on first look.
It has September security patches included. It's 250MB in size when updating from previous 47.1.A.12.270.
Android version is still 8.0.0.
Got it today on a Customized_DE
So it is apparently only security patches? When is Android Pie expected?

Starting November, as per Sony official announcement.
Feels like the battery is lasting longer again after the last update made it worse. Yes, i did reflash the last firmware with newsflasher, it still was worse than before but now it's fixed again. I flashed it again to try and fix my WIFI issues but i found a solution to it, disabling the option that keeps mobile internet always active while wifi is enabled in developer settings fixed it. It runs like a dream and every problem i had is gone now. Still loving this phone ^^
I read also on other forums that WIFI issues still exist for some users. For me the WIFI connection became a lot more stable, after using the 'Wifi analyser' app and choosing a more quiet Wifi channel !
Yeah JxFx I've had the wifi issues since day one. It's never went away. 2GHz connection is just ass. All the time. 5GHz is absolutely fine. This WiFi analyser app might help in the house, but then when I'm outside connecting to other WiFi networks (like the one at work) it's always ass because it's always 2GHz only. Just lived with it really since I like the Xz Premium so much

You can also use FlashTool and download latest firmware inside the app via XperiFirm. There the latest one is available for a lot regions. Maybe your region doesn´t have the latest firmware available.
But you can use every firmware you want.
Which region firmware should I use? I am currently on customized DE, but I'm on att in the USA. I don't use the us oem because that disables Google pay. My problem is Google messages doesn't do group messages without the us oem.
Do any other regions allow group txts? I've only tried customized DE and UK.
Anyone else noticed an issue with latest firmware dropping cellular connection?
After updating to 47.1.A.16.20, my network drops at random times ( 3 - 4 times a day), and I need to restart to get working again. Tried 2 different ROM's, same result.
Had to downgrade to 47.1.A.12.270, which is stable again.
I can report that this update definitely fixed the Bluetooth bug I was having previously. It was not a critical bug, but somewhat annoying. In the past, whenever BT was turned on, it immediately showed that it was "connecting" to all my paired devices at once. Made no sense. After waiting for like a minute, it would stop doing it, I was then able to select the device I was actually trying to connect with, and then it would work normally after that.
After this update, it no longer has any weird behavior. The BT connection works normally.
I cannot comment on cellular connection or WiFi behavior. I have been having spotty cellular connection at work but that's because the T-Mobile coverage is not great in my area. WiFi seems alright before and after update, but I also haven't been paying too much attention because I don't really use my phone much when I'm in WiFi-covered areas anyway (home or work basically).
So it seems that this version will be the last Oreo build, where magisk v18 + xposed systemless 90.2 beta3 (thx to @russel5 patch) work.
Is there a way to update from rooted stock 12.75 without a total wipe?
Hi guys, since I updated my mi a2 to pie, I'm really suffering from the very slow data connection, even after February update!
I'm trying every possible solution but with no success
Anyone facing the same here? Any suggestions?
Facing similar problem also.
Though many times the phone shows the 4G icon, the bandwith seems low, especially when i try to listen to music through spotify for example, while it used to be better under Oreo.
Any solution welcome.
Any solutions? ?
