After installing the Froyo update yesterday I seem to be having troubles with my WiFi connection. The connection is being dropped after a half an hour or so and I'm unable to reconnect at that time. The Desire just keeps connecting and disconnecting to my network.
I need to reset my router in order to re-establish the connection but it gets dropped again after a half an hour.
I did not experience these problems on the previous version, I did however experience something like it when I connected my PS3 to the router via WiFi in the past. After I done that I wasn't able to connect on my laptop. But I switched to a cable for the PS3 after that anyway.
Is it possible that something on the Desire triggers an overload in the router that causes it to malfunction? I'm unable to connect with my laptop when the connection is dropped on the Desire as well.
It's a Belkin f5d7632-4, which is actually a modem-router, but after disabling the DHCP server it functions fine as a wireless router.
Thank you in advance for any ideas.
If I can't find a solution I think I have to get a new wireless router, I can't go without WiFi on my Desire at home!
If that's the case, advice for a new wireless router is welcome as well. Please post the brand and type and if it's functioning fine with the new Froyo for you.
I have the same issue. I went from standard, unbranded 2.1 to OTA 2.2 like a good citizen, but now it won't connect to my belkin wirless N router, but it DOES connect to my SKY netgear router.
What's the deal?
Yes, I've spotted some more Belkin N1 users on (the dutch website) Tweakers.net with the same problem.
I retain a good connection for about half an hour. They seem to be having the same problem right from the start.
I have a similar problem with a BT HomHub 2.0 but it drops the WiFi randomly however I do not reset the router just turn the WiFi Off and On on the phone and the Desire reconnects. My Desire will also change which SSID its connected too, i.e. from my own SSID to BT Fon or BT Openzone (I have them both turned on in my Home Hub) again to get back to my own SSID I have to stop and restart the WiFi on the phone, simply asking it to move back to my own SSID doesnt work.
Just had a call with HTC Netherlands and they advised me to try it on a different network/router and/or do a factory reset to a clean 2.2.
Has anyone tried the factory reset? I doubt that will do any good. A different router would seem to work according to Jammy1 (and I didn't expect otherwise).
Apparently something killed the compatibility between Belkin routers and Android 2.2 ?!
do you guys have the Bluetooth turned on?I realised when both the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are on at the same time,the signals tend to clash thereby resulting to connection loss. Though,I experienced this on another android device (a tablet:Archos 5 AIT) especially when a major update occurs.Still waiting for my new Desire.
Random drops also on Linksys WRT54GL with Tomato firmware...

No Bluetooth here. Never even used it.
Try turning off the bluetooth.
Bought myself a cheap Sitecom WiFi router and it works like a charm now. But I hope HTC wil fix this and other little bugs present in this version.
I had similar problems after upgrading to Froyo (custom rom) - the Wifi seemed to get connection then as soon as I tried to use it within the browser it dropped and tries to regain IP. After a bit of fiddling with settings I have found that
i) using channel 12 (12 and 13 are only available if router is set to America location) to avoid conflict with heavy wireless coverage in my area seems to help
ii) using WPA2 encryption seems to give a much stabler connection over WPA, although now and again it forgets the passkey data, even re-entering it fails, only solve was to turn wifi off then on for it to reconnect
still having this problem...
does anybody have some news on this ?
I can connect to my home router a linksys wrt600n with WPA2-PSK key but i cant connect to a belkin N1 with WPA2-PSK enabled.
I tried every setting on the belkin router, just cant get it to connet.
My device just keeps connecting and disconnecting, it gets an ip but cant connect...
What i haven't tried is setting a maual ip and see if it connects then.
If i set it to manual ip, it works.
Does anybody have some news on this ?
What channel is your router on? Read somewhere about it not liking anything over 11...
I've been having the same issue on my Desire and on HD2Android.
If a 2.1 ROM is loaded into either of my devices TKIP and AES work perfectly.
With 2.2 it only connects through my Marconi router and doesn't obtain an IP from my Belkin N1.
I don't think this is a device issue but rather a ROM/OS issue. After speaking with some Linux guys they seem to have the opinion that the driver on 2.2 doesn't resolve it's IP address with some routers. Especially higher end ones with added features like QoS ie Belkin/Linksys.

Yes that was my initial thought !
But my linksys is newer then my belkin and it has no problems connecting my phone.
The 2 wireless routers are configured the same.
On android 2.1 i had no problems.
is it possible to try and install the 2.1 wifi drivers on 2.2 ?
i had the same problem 2 months ago when i first got my Desire. worked at just about every damn wifi router but the one in my house.
did some reading, no one had an answer. just seemed that it worked on some and not on others. so, i went out to the store and i picked up a Linksys after testing the linksys at the shop. my phone connected and had internet no problem. i thought, perfect, i'll take it.
brought it home, same problem. wifi connects and no internet. no setting would fix it. i brought it back to the store. and sure enough, we plugged that very router into their connection and my phone connected and worked. they obviously would not return the router because it works (and i live in a 3rd world country, forget about it).
so, **** if i could figure it out. i wound up using an older adsl/wifi router i had and no problems. but, i have a new linksys that is just sitting in a box...
its not your router, but the phone.
you can always sell the router on internet or the phone

I had contact with HTC Scandinavia and they also recommended a factory reset. But these guys haven't got a clue - they didn't even know this was a big problem after the froyo update. Weird when you think about it, I mean wifi is kind of a big thing for a smart phone.
But no, factory reset did NOT change a thing. And replying to other messages: this thing has nothing to do with what router you use. It seems totally random almost.
Hey
I've got some severe wifi problems with the BT infinity Home Hub 2.0:
1. Sometimes I cannot connect to the hub and the phone cannot get passed "obtaining ip address"
2. On rare occasions I can connect to the hub but no data is transferred and to make matters worse it takes down the wifi network for others (Other devices remain connected but no data is transferred) To get things working again I have to reset the hub!
If I try connecting to BT Fon or BT Openzone on my network the same problems occur. (Other BT broadband users will understand what I'm talking about there)
What I've tried to fix the issues:
I've tried setting a manual ip address with no luck
I've tried a full reset of the hub
Changed the wifi channel of the hub
Turned on best performance in wifi settings on the One X
I've tried a variety of roms and am currently on Viper
I experience these issues when connecting to other BT Home Hubs and other random hotspots. But at the same time I have no issues issues connecting to other wifi hotspots such as hotel ones and public hotspots.
At the moment at home I've got an old voyager 2100 bridged to the hub and I can connect through that with no problems, but as you can understand I don't really want two routers running at the same time when it shouldn't be necessary.
If anybody has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks :cyclops:
Working perfect on my HH2. I say perfect, but as well as the HH2 will work, you'll get what I mean.

Just noticed you have the infinity version, which I assume is totally different.
Sorry about that!
(however, I'm stuck on sub 8mb (2mb, ish) in the country, I'd put up with dodgy wifi for your connection )

It's pretty much identical but I've had the same issues on other normal home hub 2s
I had the same problem whereby every time my One X connected to my Home Hub, it would cause the network to become unresponsive for all connected devices! I eventually found that changing my hub settings from 802.11 b/g/n to just 802.11 b/g did the trick.
Go here: 192.168.1.254
then: Settings --> Advanced Settings --> Wireless --> Wireless interface type.

Thanks! I'll give this a go when I get home, I wonder what the underlining issue is here that's causing all of these problems
i don't think its the phone, id blame the router, mine does similar sometimes, works after a reboot of the router though
Hi,
I encountered this issue just recently. I have a Galaxy S3 and a HomeHub2 with Infinity. I tried setting a manual IP address, rebooting router and phone, changing wifi channel etc, but none of that worked. I later noticed that the dhcp table on the router was full of expired leases for the same device. I clicked the "refresh" button on the HH2's dhcp page and it refreshed showing a list of different mac address - weird - but this time showng them with an "andriod" prefix. I manually deleted a few of the expired entries - one at a time (pita) and that seemed to fix it, i.e. I was able to reconnect and get an IP address assigned on my S3 again. I've since selected the option to "always use this ip address" on the dhcp table entry details page (just click one of the items in the list to view). I guess there must be a bug/conflict/glitch between andriod and the hh2's dhcp service which perhaps prevents expired ip address assignments from being dropped and reused. I have a few other devices that are wireless and use dhcp (ps3, iphones, ipad, ipod touch, wii, samsung smart tv, wifi printer, microwave, fridge... ok i'm kidding about those last two , and none of those have multiple expired sessions.
Hope this helps someone get round the problem.
Jeremy
PS: Great noob vid.
Funny this is here. I had this exact issue its frikking irritating. I went through the hassle of unlocking the hub to work on talk talk...I had my nexus then and it flew..I know the nexus is like that though lol. So got the x was a nightmare on WiFi.coverage wise also in the kitchen..it went below a bar. So changed to b and g only. Works okay but still is slow ans doesn't do well. Annoying seeing the hub is capable of n

I'm having the exact same problem but with the homehub 3, I was convinced it was a faulty router and have been pestering bt for a new one. I realized it was the phone whenever the same problem happened at the father in laws house (he has a hh3 also). I have been using cyanogenmod for a a few months and this prob only occoured when I started using mike1986's Rom... Maybe someone should tell him
I'm having issues with my One X and my HH3 , it's only started since i went to jellybean. It was fine before now when my HOX is conneced to the router all wireless devices (Ipad and laptops-win7/ubuntu) will drop out and back in of connection. Sometimes the router will drop it's broadband connection then come straight back up.
It's driving me mad.
I'm having an issue where my WiFi connection drops. Tab still says connected but I get no throughput. All other wireless devices still work. I have to toggle the wifi on the tab on and off to reconnect. Router is an actiontec C1000A.
I've read other threads where people had similar issues and exchanged tablets for new ones only to have them do the same. Router is good, it works with all my other devices without issue. What good is a WiFi only tablet if the WiFi sucks eggs?

Well my wifi has been brilliant, the only issue I had was that although my wifi router was working with every other device and even my Note 10.1 it didnt want to play youtube videos on it. So I changed connection to my other broadband and it worked a treat so even though your router works with other devices it doesn't mean the tablet is faulty just that the router and tablet don't like each other.
Best way to try this is go to a friends house and try their connection or go to a coffee shop where they have free wifi and hopefully you will see wifi doesn't suck eggs lol. Anyways hope your problem gets sorted.

Are you just complaining or are you asking for help?............ If your asking for help please tell us if you are using 2.5 or 5ghz, b, g, n, ac, channel #. Many things can cause wifi issues and sometime a monitoring app from the play store like "Wifi analyzer" can help narrow down whats really going on.
Im asking for help by complaining. I'll get some more detailed info on my network and post it up later.
My modem/router was set to auto detect... I used wifi analyzer to set it to a less crowded fixed channel. I also turned off 802.11n. It had b, g and n simultaneously... Now it's just b and g. So that's 2.4 GHz? I don't have super Internet, so no real need for "n". I'll report back after I see if this changes anything. The security is WPA2-Personal...don't know if that has any effect. Any other ideas are appreciated.
Wifi on my OnePlus 3 is very weak compared to my 1st gen Moto G . Audio is stuttering while playing through bluetooth . Already tried replacing the phone but the issue is still there . If anybody has a solution please do let me know . TIA
Do you mean the wifi reception is weak when you are away from the router or all the time ?

On WiFi I have the same issue also: where my previous OP2 was getting signal wih no problem, with this I'm getting it weak or none.
No issue regarding Blueooth.
I'm hoping to get an update soon (I read somewhere that 3.1.3 makes it better, so I hope the 3.1.4 bring that modification also)
Get new router.
I am also running 3.1.2 and I can confirm that wifi is much weaker than on all my nexus devices.
Haven't read anything about it getting better with 3.1.3. Sure it is not an hardware issues, do u have any sources reporting that?

You're right. This is the changelog of 3.1.3
* Camera HDR performance tuning
* Bluetooth and NFC connectivity improvements
* Bug fixes in general telephony
* Bug fixes in Google and OnePlus apps
While this one is for 3.1.4

I've had to issues with either, and I stream bluetooth everyday in my car.
I can't say I've had any Wifi issues but I've definitely had Bluetooth connectivity issues in my car. Question. There is already talk about update 3.1.4 coming out but I haven't even received 3.1.3 yet. Is this something that should be pushed to my phone or do you have to load the OTAs manually? Sorry if that sounds stupid. This is my first oneplus phone so I'm a little new to the experience
Bluetooth while using my phone is rubbish on my op3 caller's keep cutting in and out of the conversation getting on my nerves!!!!!
Bluetooth on my car is almost perfect... Wifi is bad in terms of weak signal.

3.1.3 is not official I think. U can download it as a custom rom without a problem. OP3 Lite is pretty good and debloated. Like stock but with less bloat.
I posted a similar WiFi issue in the one plus forums but no response so far. Maybe it's just me facing this issue:
There is definitely something wrong with OP3 or the ASUS router.
I am experiencing a strange issue with WiFi. The wireless router is about 45 feet away from my bedroom. I am able to use WiFi in my bedroom on my laptop, HTC M7, One Plus One, and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. However, when I use OP3 there, I am connected to WiFi (router) but it says there is no Internet connection. As I walk closer to the router, the problem goes away. Can someone please suggest a solution?
For now, this is how I have improved the situation:
However, here is the workaround.
1. Note down the MAC address of your phone. Settings->About Phone->Status- IP Address section shows a number separated by ":".
2. Login to your router as administrator. If you are using DHCP, the IP addresses are being assigned automatically by the router. This is where we will make a change. For the phone mac address, set the IP address as static (one way to get an IP address is to check what IP address is assigned to your phone when you are connected to WiFi). Note down this IP address and assign manually on the router to this MAC address.
3. Now, the last part. On your phone go to your WiFi network. Long press and modify. Choose Static IP address option. Assign the IP address you hard coded on the router for this device. Set the Gateway to the LAN IP address of the router. Set the DNS servers as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (google servers). This should make things work.
put me down for bluetooth issues as well. It connects to my caddy then drops 1 min later.

Strange. Assigning a static IP shouldn't solve Wifi-connection problems...
But: thanks anyway.
had more issues with note 4 and Bluetooth than with this 1+3. I hope all signal problems are software related and not something related to antennas.

You are right. This was not the solution that should have worked. But it is working for me most of the time. I think OP3 needs an update to fix the WiFi issue.
Bluetooth and Wifi Issues
I too am experiencing issues. First of all my wifi is significantly slower than on my OPO. It also gets worse reception than my OPO did. Bluetooth is a complete mess right now. My car radio will not play if I press the play button, and I have to go into the app to play music everytime. At my home wifi it stutters very often and it randomly stops playing. It will often stop playing a playlist when there is 3 seconds left in a song, yet it does not show paused. It just sits there. I can not tell if this is on OP or spotify's end, but it is really annoying me. It happens even when I am not on bluetooth. But the constant stuttering happens over bluetooth no matter the app.
I'm surprised to see this thread. I find the WiFi on my OP3 exceptional.
My moto x pure and laptop (razer blade) don't get WiFi in my bathroom but my OP3 gets full service.
Yeah for some reason I can't get past 2mb/s down on a 50mb connection. Works fine on everything else, even the upload reaches 10mb/s on the phone. This seriously is a huge problem. It even takes about a minute to obtain an up address after connecting to the network
My WiFi will connect and then almost immediately disconnect on my home wifi only. Anywhere else, the WiFi works perfectly. I contacted my internet provider and they're sending someone out to "look at it". Before I keep this appointment, I'm reaching out to see if anyone has a fix; I doubt they'll fix it. I recently upgraded my router and modem, this is when the issue started. I've got the same issue on my Nexus 6P. My wife does not have this issue on her Pixel 3, and any other device connected to the WiFi seems to work just fine - this leads me to its a device issue not a router issue. Any help will be appreciated. To reiterate and still it up shortly: my Pixel 2 WiFi works everywhere except home and at home every other device works fine. I'm on the most current Google update stock not rooted.

Are you hiding your SSID or is it broadcasting? What wifi security protocol are you using? Try WPA2 + PSK. Does this happen on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies? Which router do you have (make/model)? What does the log say in the router? Usually under admin and (usually) configurable to log wifi connections.

I am using wpa2+psk, it happens on both 2.4 and 5, I have the Spectrum Wave 2 - RAC2V1K Askey (Spectrum's provided router). I posted a screenshot of the recent part of the log because I'll admit, though I am seeing patterns in the log I am not sure how to separate the good from the bad.
