[Q] Weird wifi issue

Hi everyone,
I'm enjoying my One X since last Thursday. I did have one problem, though : my wifi wasn't working at home. What happened is that the phone correctly connected at the network, but then it would "kill" the wifi.
I mean, neither of my laptop computer nor my old Desire (which were both connected before the One X) worked on wifi after I connected the One X, which by the way didn't work either.
Considering this issue I wen't to the carphone warehouse to have another phone.
I didn't go home straight, I got to try other wifi network, which worked perfectly.
But, at home, I'm still having the same issue !
Can anyone help me please ?

so none of your hardware is now connecting to your Wifi?
If so, I would suggest a hard reset of your Hub/router. If there is a reset button hold it in for 20-30 seconds, if not, unplug for 30 seconds.
If it's just your One X not connecting try going through settings to ensure its setup correctly.

Had the same issue with my sgs and avm fritzbox 7390. The only thing that helped was a complete factory reset of the fritzbox.

Try using a static ip, make sure it is unique.

There is a setting under wifi advanced to stop the wifi from sleeping when phone is off or kill it if the signal drops or if your phone is idle. I modified those and it works perfectly. Default setting is to kill it.
Nothing is wrong with your wifi. It's just the way you've got it setup.

Actually, my laptop and Desire are connected to the Wifi ; they can't connect only after i set my One X on the Wifi. It's like the phone is destroying the wifi network.

I didn't find those settings. In wifi advanced I only found an setting that disconnect the phone when signal is low.
I should mention that whenever the One X is set on wifi, it works for like a minute. Then all of my devices can't access the internet. Desire and One X are showing that they are connected, but no access to play store, browser... Computer is showing an error message "limited access". And my TV (which I get with my internet box) is freezing.
What I don't understand is that I tried on two friends' network, everything worked perfectly. Only at home As Cxpher said, I guess it must be my wifi that isn't set up correctly. But what can I do next, except hard reset and static ip ?
EDIT : I tried to connect the One X without having any other device connected. It worked, but as soon as I launched the Play Store, I lost the connection and had to reboot my box. Apparently the Play Store is messing everything up. Weither I have hardware connected or not, it never works (again, only at home).

Up.
Anyway, not being able to use my own wifi is a bit annoying

Same exact issue. Phone going back tomorrow.
WiFi fine for 2 years.
New one x WiFi dropping and having to reset router after 2 mins connected as all WiFi dies.
Seriously fcukd off!

Which router do you have? Is there any logging-function available in the router software/firmware?

Standard netgear.
It's been fine with s2 and hasn't needed to be reset for a over a year....until yesterday!.
Not overly tech, would a log facility help?

A log would help to see what is going on with the router when the phone connects. The fritzbox showed an authentication error when my sgs connected and killed the wifi for all devices in the network. Just googled your problem. Netgear and htc devices seem to have problems very often when connecting. You should try to get the newest fw for the netgear. Maybe that solves the problem.

Thanks for your help. Latest firmware is installed tho.
Bizzar issue!
Shame as its a nice phone too

I have a classic french box (called Bbox). For the record that actually is my second phone. I had the same issue with the first one, so I went directly to ask another one.

So has exchange phone resolved the issue?

Sorry I explained it wrong. I meant I already had the problem when I first bought the phone, so I went to get another one. I had the issue on both One X.

Well i have got a netgear router and have no problems at all must be something to do with you router or it setting i would do full reset and see if that helps

hi guys!
i had the same problem with my router ( netgear DGN 1000), i solved by updating the router firmware to latest manually! no more wifi drops now!
i hope this information can help all users with this issue!

In an other thread somebody had advised to deactivate the wifi password in the router. That helped fix the problem at his phone. I will try this too to confirm that. But wifi without password is an absolute NoGo in my opinion.
here the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24811292&postcount=6

I'm bringing this up again because issue is still here ; removing encryption on the wifi network changes nothing. Other thing now, it didn't only happened at home but also at work.
Warranty is now void, this is my second HOX and I had the same problem on both. Anyone has a magic solution ?

same issue
Im having the same wifi issue using a D-Link DIR-615. Wifi is working perfectly with other device but when my One X connect to wifi, it freeze the wifi network for all devices. I Always need to unplug/plug the AC cord to reboot and refresh the wifi network and after it may works for a couple of mins or maybe 1 hour and after I must reboot the router again.
My router firmware is up to date but there is no more support/firmware update for the DIR-615 REV. B since 2008!
I switched to static ip and snag persist so im back in dhcp.
I cleared the router log and will post it next time it will freeze.

[Q] HTC One Wi-Fi Connection Issues - Please help!

I need major help!
I am currently on my third HTC One, after two attempts at a solution, and I am still having the same problem. Here it is: I will connect to my Wi-Fi at home, successfully browse a few pages online, press the power button to put it to sleep, press the power button again to turn it back on, then see (in the status bar) the Wi-Fi disconnect then reconnect, try to browse more pages online with no luck because the connection does not work. The only way I can consistently get Wi-Fi to work on this phone is after waking up my phone from sleep I have to turn Wi-Fi off then back on to re-establish the connection.
I've check my settings extensively and changed a few defaults in an attempt to get this to work. Here are my settings currently: "Keep Wi-fi on during sleep" - Always; "Wi-fi Frequency band" - 5 Ghz only; "Wi-Fi optimization" is checked; "Best Wi-Fi perfomance" is checked. My Wi-Fi password was entered correctly and I am currently writing this on a laptop connected to the same home network.
I am at my wit's end. I just want this beautiful phone to work properly. Are there any suggestions as to what might be causing this and how to fix this situation? Or am I doomed to an endless cycle of HTC One exchanges until I find one that works? Please help! Thanks.

very sorry to be hearing this.
just for sh**s and giggles, have you tried un-checking
"Best Wi-Fi perfomance"

Honestly, 3 HTC Ones having the same problem, and such a specific same problem... Sounds like a problem with your router.
I would try totally resetting your router. Not just unplugging it, but resetting it completely and setting it up again.
I had something similar happen to me (phone wouldn't connect to WiFi upon wake-up, I also had to turn WiFi off then back on) with my HTC Evo several years ago, I exchanged the Evo thinking that was the issue but the exchanged Evo did it too. Re-setup my whole network and have never had the problem again.

I will give that a try. I'm thinking the same way. There's no way I can go through 3 phones and have the same problem and be the only one who is having this problem. I will gladly wear my dunce cap if it works. I just want to end this Shakespearean tragedy.
And to answer andybones, yes the default is to have that selection unchecked so I had the problem even with unchecked.

+ 1 to this
OR
VZW needs to drop an OTA, QUICKer

Go to a Starbucks, friend's house or something and test it out.
The problem has to be with your router. My One has the best WiFi connection of any device in my house except when I can't run hardwire to my desktop. But that has two 3" antennas.

It's the security, if you're running WPA2 it might have problems. Try changing encryption to TKIP.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. What solved the problem for me was that I went to the Verizon store, had the technician help out, and they Googled the problem and saw that a factory reset would solve the issue. I never saw this result when I Googled the solution, but I went along with it. This worked in the store and I was able to connect to the wi-fi hotspot in the store. When I went home the wi-fi connection worked just fine. The reason I didn't do this in the first place is because I did a factory reset on the first two phones I had and the problem persisted. For whatever reason it worked this time.

i bought htc one and it seems i also have this issue ..BUT .. i have an wifi extender and seems it attachs with it very smoothly .. so i think the problem is inside the router it self ..ill try to figure out why .
EDIT : The problem seems to be only exist on the D-Link Routers which i have "Not sure if all router or just mine" .. it gotta be frequency disturbing or something

Same problem for me. here is what ive gone through..
Just got the phone today OUT OF THE BOX
first thing i seriously tried was connecting to my linksys router with a wpa2 algy.
im on a dumb data plan and need to conserve, Anyway wifi was having a hard time connecting so i slapped the thing in airplain mode and tried to to reconnect to the router.
no dice, ok.. hmm did a factory reset twice, you name it i tried it.
taking it in the store for a replacement this week.

No need
I found out the problem is in the router it self .. you see , it connects to some old routers in condition they dont have password ... Im not sure why but i changed my router and with new one and gave it password and everything works fine now.
The problem seems to be in old routers i think.
Edit : my new router is tp-link im not sure about others

This worked for me
WiFi connection issues with HTC M7 can be overcome by renaming your device.
Settings
WiFi
Triple dots (top rh corner)
WiFi direct
Change name to HTC one
Click ok.

[Q] Wi-Fi issues with the new update?

So i recently got an update for my phone, and it auto downloaded it. I installed it, thinking it would bring improvements. Turns out, it messed up my wifi big time. Phone keeps forgetting networks it was connected to, and its a hassle keeping a stable wifi connection. It keeps disconnecting for no reason. No, its not a problem with the router. I tried resetting it and still the issue persists. Moreover, my family members phones and my laptop connect just fine.
Troubleshooting steps ive tried are restarting, and even resetting my phone. Did not work. Does anyone know how to fix it? It would help out a lot! Attatched screenshot with my firmware version. Thank you!

[Q] Major WiFi issue out of nowhere?

Hey all. I need some advice. This morning my G3 (D850) dropped WiFi connection for no reason. It says the signal is good but the network info says saved, secured. It will attempt to connect over and over again and if it does connect the signal is weak as can be and it drops the connection within 2 seconds. My coworker has a G3 also and is connected to the same work network I am. His connection says excellent where as mine said good. His device connects just fine with full bars. I'm baffled. I've already tried manually selecting 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz instead of auto select and that didn't help at all. I've tried manually turning off WiFi and turning it back on. I've tried turning airplane mode on and then off to refresh the connection and that didn't help. I've done a battery pull as someone in one of the android authority forums suggested that (apparently I am not the only one having this issue.), didn't work. I've unchecked WiFi optimization - no dice. There was another post on a different forum here on XDA that said turning off WiFi and then deleting the WiFi config folder located in data/etc/wifi and then rebooting fixed the issue for them so I tried that. After reboot when I tried to turn on WiFi my G3 rebooted itself. Does it everytime. SO, I had to restore to a nandroid backup (btw I'm on rooted stock 10f) to get the phone to stop hating my WiFi toggle attempts. Last ditch effort I did a factory reset hoping for an easy fix... Nope. I don't know what else to try. It was fine yesterday all day. This morning it was perfectly fine and then randomly started having this issue. I haven't altered any system files whatsoever. I really don't want to send my device to LG for warranty replacement so I'm hoping someone can help me out that may have had this issue and resolved it. The only difference between my device and my coworkers device is he is still on 10d and I am on 10f. That could be the issue I guess but that doesn't really explain why my device has been perfectly fine until this morning and I've been on rooted 10f for weeks. I am planning on flashing back to straight bone factory stock 10d when I get home here in a few hours from work but Idk if that will help or not. Judging from the amount of google search results of "LG G3 WiFi connection problems" this seems to be an issue for several people. I won't know if it's on the software side or hardware side until I get home but in the meantime has anyone had these issues at all? People have had success in changing to Static IP but I would have to do that for every connection I attempt to connect to and that's a pain in the a$$. Also, that does nothing to identify the root cause of the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. =)

Thanks for the reply. So it turned out my phone just randomly decided it doesn't like my work network anymore. Idk why lol. I got home and it hooked right into WiFi. Gf's WiFi and open networks as well. I call shenanigans. I went ahead and flashed back to 10d anyway though.

I am having the same issue! But it is happening in other networks too...sometimes I get the phone to connect but it only works for a while and when I check the networks it only says Saved, even if I try to connect again

Having the same issue, whether at work or home, my wifi has become near useless. I've even gone as far as trying a different ROM. Didn't work.

Same thing here

I also have tried factory reset, installed a new ROM, changed settings in my router... but the problem remains I don't know what to do anymore, I use wifi a lot!! I searched through other topics but no one seem to know how to solve it. Unfortunately my warranty already expired, I took my phone to some technicians but honestly it didn't help at all...they all said it was a software bug and I should wait for an update but if it was just that a new ROM would fix it,right?
I am not very familiar with phone hardware but I assume that if it was a hardware problem I wouldn't be able to turn it on or connect to any network, right?? (any experts here???)
Any solution is welcomed.

anyone please?? :crying:
P.S : I tried a new baseband, new kernel and new ROMs. So far, nothing changed.
I can connect sometimes but get kicked out within minutes. At other times I only get the saved,secured message.
This is happening in every network

G4 refuses to connect to wifi

My G4 only starting to act retarded about a week ago. It refuses to connect to any network. It gets hung up on obtaining IP address and then just disables wifi and starts this loop again. I have no idea how to fix this, there are no network settings under developer settings (**** you VZW) and I'm lost.
Can someone help?

Hi buddy I'm gonna ask you some stupid questions just to rule out some things ,
A. Have you been any apps like WiFi kill or csPLOIt
B. Have you been using the any xposed module like the settings editor or anything similar
C. Have you tried doing a factory reset???

I've had this problem a few times. It has magically "fixed itself" but then come back some time later. It has been ok for a while now (touch wood). A couple of things worth checking:
1) Have you tried rebooting in safe mode to see if it still happens? When it was in the broken state, mine would still connect to WiFi when rebooted in safe mode. Conventional wisdom suggests that this means it's an app that is causing this problem but I'm not so sure.
2) Do you have Bluetooth turned on? When mine was in the broken state, it would connect to WiFi when Bluetooth was turned off, suggesting some kind of strange interaction between the two.
3) Are you connecting to a 5Ghz network or a 2.4Ghz one? Mine only exhibited the problem when trying to connect to 2.4Ghz networks.
Here is the XDA thread I started about this issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/strange-bluetooth-wifi-interaction-mm-t3279623
