Quite often when I arrive home or to work where I have WiFi networks saved my phone will not connect automatically. When I go to the WiFi settings it says the connection is disabled, so I click on it and it asks me if I want connect, I click yes and it connects no problem.Anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?
Thanks.

I use WiFi suspension and when I wake up my m8 sometimes WiFi don't turn on.
It's say turn off and if I try to put on nothing happens.
Then I put in aero mode for one or more time, than WiFi turn on.
Not always, but sometimes happens.
I'm on viper 3.2.1

Have you tried to simply reboot the WiFi router? This clears up issues like this, a lot more than you would think.
Also, what band, model? Some simply don't play well with HTC devices.

This is a feature I was trying to use with WM6 in the past but it wouldn't work. My question has to do with Android in general and with either Desire or Desire HD.
Let's say that I use a 3G data contract and sometimes I have wifi available as well (but not always in reach). I want to save my 3G data because I pay per kb and prefer to use wifi when available. Is it possible for Android to automatically connect to WiFi when it is in reach and when I move out of its reach, to revert to 3G?
If not, what is the way to handle this? for example, do I manually enable/disable one of the 2 and try which works?
I just turn both data and WiFi on and leave them on. That way as soon as I am in a WiFi zone like at home, it will automatically connect to WiFi.

So, to make this even more clear: you have them both turned on (3G and WiFi) and WiFi will take priority? and revert to 3G only when WiFi is unavailble?
and we are talking about which model? or maybe it'a all Andreoid the same?
I think its the same with all Android phones. If both 3g and WiFi are on WiFi will take priority. I am at work and have both turned on...as soon as I go home, the phone will connect via WiFi automatically.
By the way I have a desire too.

Thanks a lot. That means that desire will do for me. I don't know if that has been resolved with WM though, maybe it will be with WP7 but I think that Android will e a better option for now.
Hi, you can also save battery/money with softwares that automaticly close 3g/wifi for night. I use "data on demand" and "settings profile lite" to close both for night and also close wifi when my location is not home.

nice. are most of those software free for Android or you have to buy them? similar to WM?
Hi, both are free, just install through Android Market.
So when i am home i have my WiFi on, which means my 4g is off. Now when the WiFi is on, i can not receive or send pictures. Also cant use the web or do anything like that but just send and receive text/calls.. and reason to this? maybe i have certain settings on that i don't know about? If i remember right, my wifi worked properly a few days ago.. but i cant remember exaclty. Help please? Thanks
no one knows?
Power cycle your router?
I've been having a different wifi issue. at home I have only edge coverage but I have petty good cable internet so obviously I want to use my wifi but for some reason the phone connects to wifi yet still uses the mobile network unless I turn off mobile data. My wifi sleep policy is set to never btw. Any ideas?

Edit
Also if I turn off mobile data while connected to wifi then turn it on while still connected it stays on wifi fine. Its like the mobile radio is preventing the wifi connection from fully initializing or something
Same issue!

I am having the same issue. I have to go into airplane mode, then turn on wifi to actually be able to use it... otherwise seems to default to mobile radio...
I have the same issue..this is what i do to work around it though:
1. Go to Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks
2. Uncheck packet data, and then check it again.
Once i do this, my wifi works again, let me know if it works for you.

Got this from the battery thread. This actually fixes the wifi issue on my SG2
The program is called Llama and can be downloaded from the market. I deleted all the default events and just added these 2. Hope this helps for all of you with this issue.

-- Add action: Toggle Mobile Data (off)
- Add another event called WiFi Disconnected
-- Add condition: WiFi Disconnected (any network)
-- Add action: WiFi Sleep Policy (sleeps when screen turns off)
-- Add action: Toggle Mobile Data (on)

Try freezing "my account". It toggles data even with WiFi is on. Try it and let me know.

Actually saw this tread and had Llama installed with these 2 profiles added and was till getting this issue... Going to try Freezing My Account to see if that helps... I know it helped with my wifi issues on my G2x.
Update: Nothing seems to work now. Can't have Wifi and cell radio on at the same time... can get calls but nothing else...
I've seen it occasionally as well. I haven't needed to reboot though. It usually recovers after I toggle WiFi on and off and mess with some other things.

Yes, either return or warranty exchange for a new one, I have not noticed this issue with my device at all.
I've been having the same issue and it definitely causes excessive battery drain. Sometimes toggling wifi off then on works. Other times it requires toggling mobile data off then on.
I had it happen just now and tried freezing 'my account' in titanium backup as suggested and my 4g indicator immediately turned off. Sweet! It seems that 'my account' is the culprit!
Edit: I really wish this topic wasn't merged...I think there were a couple 'wifi problem' threads talking about different issues. To clarify, my problem was that while on wifi my 4G indicator would sometimes turn on and consume more battery and (sometimes) force all data to use 4G instead of wifi. Really annoying!

[Q] WiFi not working properly? 3G/4G stays on
My mobile data doesn't always turn off when wifi is on. Any ideas?
same here ,dont know what that is
Bump.........
I've noticed of late that my One X thinks that my home WiFi is still in range, and that it's connected, even when I am not at home. To get mobile data to work I have to turn WiFi off and back on again to make it work properly.
Anyone experiencing the same?

Nah, there is an option for disconnecting the wifi if there is no good connection.
also there are wifi fixing tools in the market, switching between aps etc.
also there are tools for switching to 3G if WiFi is under some threshold.
Unfortunately you must search and test. Did my fair share of that.
Also check out that option in the settings if you have it checked.

Regardless of that setting, it should know that the Wi-Fi it was connected to is no longer there.

Okay and? Are you completely stock. And you tried already factory reset, and this happens with every AP on the latest sw ?
Then you could try to return it for repairs?

Hi, my t-mobile M8 has some weird issue. I never use the wifi and it is always off, but it shows in the history option under power menu that the wifi is constantly on.
I have also tried turning wifi on, using it sometime, turning it off again, completely disabling the location services, closing all the apps that may use wifi. No change in the line.
Is it some defect with my device? Or is it the same for everyone else?
Mines the same. I think its a bug in the graph.

This is a "feature." It allows the device to more precisely find your location by polling nearby wi-fi networks. I think you can disable this in the advanced wi-fi settings.

Hey guys. As the title states I can't receive calls or texts if Wifi is on. If I turn Wifi off or get out of range the mobile data isn't turned on. Only remedy is to turn the phone off and power it back on. One work around I've found is to disable LTE and use the GSM/WCDMA auto option.
I've already tried to do a factory reset and HTC support isn't helpful. They told me to re-install the update ruu but the update they told me to download isn't up to date. Now they're saying to send the phone in, but I use this as my work phone so I really need to get it working and can't afford to not have a phone for 10 days.

This. Make sure to turn Wifi Calling on, and check that the connection preferences aren't set to "Wifi Only" and then disable again, too. I've seen a lot of people lately with issues, even with wifi calling turned off, because the preferences are set to wifi only, and it refuses to connect to mobile, even though it's supposed to be off. See it all the time on Samsung phones.

Well I was super hopeful this would fix my issues. Sadly for the 2nd time today I've been told my phone wasn't working. Guess we'll just have to wait for a new patch.
This software update broke wifi calling for me. Tmo, unlocked htc10.
