Hey guys hope you can help me. I've been using internet sharing for a while but since HTC's most recent OTA update I cant get it to work while on 3G/HSDPA - the laptop cant seem to communicate with the DNS servers and I get an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle by the connections icon in the system tray. When forcing the Desire to use GPRS it works well - although its very slow, obviously.
Interestingly 3G/HSDPA works fine on my Desire - I get emails and web browsing no issues there. I also noticed since the update that it takes an awful long time for the radio on my desire to start data connection (a good 30''). i guess both issues are related to the OTA update which, by reading comments on this forum seemed to create more problems than it solved. Any idea guys as to what tweak I could use to force the laptop to connect to the DNS servers when using 3G on my desire?
cheers
I have the same problem except that I can only share a wifi connection with my laptop and not the 3g connection or gprs. I don't think it's the update because mine happened before I had installed it. Do you think t-mobile could be blocking any ports or something?
why would they block 3G and not GPRS? And T-Mobile explicitly allow internet sharing with the right internet plan so i don't think they would block it.
I installed Double Twist both on laptop and device recently - since then I have uninstalled both - could these have impacted on the internet sharing thing?
Any other idea?
I'm not too sure to be honest, I tried to look at what programs I had installed since the internet stopped working, the only thing I had installed was peer guardian which I have now uninstalled and its now working. I don't know if it's just a coincidence but it's working.
Any other programs that you've installed that may cause any conflict?
it started working again as I travelled and changed city... so it may be a local cell issue...
Glad it works again for you too. let's see for how long lol

I've had the exact same experience on my t-mobile wildfire - > apply the OTA O/S update and Internet Sharing stopped working!!! (It worked fine before on Windows 7 and XP)
Grrrrr...
Anyone have any ideas?
I also read that a factory reset fixes the tethering issue in several places and will see how badly it fracks the phone up (or whether everything gets downloaded neatly again automatically) and report back here...
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

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.

wifi turned on but cant see or connect to any network
my android os 5.0.2
please help
Have you tried a Factory Reset?
Same Problem
Exactly the same problem I think the problem from sim.. Slide out and do restore factory settings... Wifi will appear relates and you can contact. But if you put sim you cant contact and dont see the network.we need update from htc because this problem in some contry
I from syria ????
I'm not having the exact same problem but I am having a problem with WiFi
Yesterday I received my wife's M9 upgrade and started setting it up. I noticed it was going REALLY slow downloading over Wi-Fi, so I activated the SIM and it dropped off the home network. It immediately picked up pace and apps began making download progress. I have more than a dozen other devices working without issue on my home network. When I reconnected it and attempted to reach any website, it just stalls.
Tonight I'll try pulling the SIM out and / or Factory Reset to see if I can get it working.
same problem
i have the same problem what should we do?
I returned my device and got another new one. Immediately out of the box it seemed to be working better but developed similar issues. I disabled a setting named minimize battery use on Wi-Fi and that seems to have improved it, but it still seems to have issue with my 5mhz 802.11AC router.
I think we can live with it the way it is, until they push a fix. Hopefully a fix anyway.

Seems to be an issue with N only 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz band networks. I set my 2.4Ghz to auto (g/n) and removed the 5Ghz SSID from the list of known networks and it's working great. YMMV

DNS issue?
My problem is similar to what Jason V described. My phone connects to my home WiFi okay, but the internet connection alternates between working very slowly, or not at all. Strangely, removing the SIM card from the phone fixes the WiFi connection, but as soon as I reintroduce the SIM card, the WiFi issues return.
I'm going to attempt changing the DNS server to see if that helps at all. If it does I'll let you know.

problem completly solved with new update (1.32.401.17) from dear htc
Still...
Mine version is 1.32.841.15 but the problem is still there... I can't use Wi-Fi....
I could before but now after a few updates I can't... ( Just to be sure that we have same problem, I can turn Wi-Fi on but it doesn't show any networks.)
Solved
Simply update to latest build which as by now is : 1.32.501.17 and fortunately solve 2 M9 devices wifi for me.
you can find these Ota updates in here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/development/ota-1-32-401-15-firmware-noredtext-t3072571

I had this problem as well. I end up changing my channel to 11_and it helped,but when I changed it to 6,I went from 17mb to 32mb.

Are you sure that 1.32.501.17 is newer than 1.32.841.15?
And how can I downgrade to 1.32.501.17 from 1.32.841.15?

I was chatting to HTC for about one hour! But our biggest problem was that they don't know there is such a problem! They thought it's a problem just for me.
I informed them about it (at least, informed the chat person!) so I think we can expect an update from HTC in few weeks...
And that's weird that we can use Wi-Fi Hotspot but not connecting even finding networks!
I think the best is to wait a little...
But I'm still really confused that how did some other people updated their phone to 1.32.501.17 not 1.32.841.15 ?!
After oreo update, I have got a problem with WIFI. In my house everything is OK, but when I am at work, mobile phone connect to the wifi, internet works for a couple of minutes and after that, wifi has been marked with
exclamation mark and when I want to turn off wifi, click on the wifi switch and Settings not responding. When I click on wifi in the navigation bar, UI not responding. After that, I have to restart the phone. After the restart, wifi is turned off.
I have got stock oreo(ETL). I tried to root it or restore backups from google play and Samsung cloud but nothing work. Maybe the problem is that in the work we have 5Ghz wifi.
When I revert to stock NUGAT, everything works.
Any idea what could be a problem?
at work do you have 5 ghz and 2.4 ghz with same ssid?
Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-A320FL met Tapatalk
yes
android 7 had issues with that. change ssid of one of them and all problems are gone. Seems that android keeps switching between 2.4 and 5 ghz and connection fails ..
Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-A320FL met Tapatalk
did you mean android 8? Because I have this problem on oreo (8). But I am not allowed to change ssid on the work wifi.
I meant that this error was there in android 7.0. I changed the ssid of 5 ghz and problem was solved. have now 8.0 didnt test it again, but assume issue is the same..
Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-A320FL met Tapatalk
On 7.0 ETL works fine, anyway, I am not allowed to change the ssid in the work so I am not able to use wifi in the work
Same problem
After a standard update of Samsung to Android 8.0 I have exactly the same problem with the Wifi network at work. Before the update everything was ok. The wifi network at work has Phase 2 authentication (MSCHAPV2). Maybe it also has something to do with that. Were you able to fix the problem? If not I would like to revert the update and go back to Android 7, but I don't know how to do that.

I've got the same issue, I didn't find any way to solve it.
There is no option to force the use of 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz in this android version.
I didn't find a app to do it either.
Same here. Following the update, I can use WLAN at home but not at work (exactly the same pattern as described in the initial posting). Very annoying.
I wrote at Samsung support (czech support) and they told me that they don't have reported similar problem .. hm, it looks that the problem is there. Can you contact support too? Maybe, Samsung release the fix for it.
No, I didn't find any solution. But oreo didn't bring me any new feature, on the contrary, some useful features were deleted. Context menu which appears on long press icon doesn't contain app info. Forcing adaptable icon for Google apps is very annoying too because the google apps icons have the ugly border. I don't understand Google, they bring adaptable icons in the oreo but after one year, their icons still have the border.
So I revert to the Nugat which works perfectly for me. (For extending memory, I am using LINK2SD with SanDisk A1 certificated card)
I have the exact same problem. When connected to work wifi network, I get exclamation mark on the wifi icon, then it all freezes, and the phone restarts. In some of those restarts I cannot even type my password to unblock the phone. I also cannot deactivate wifi, when I press the icons the system freezes.
Same problem. Wifi at home no problem. Wifi at work (complex, multi-router, PEAP) is too difficult and phone hangs after showing the exclamation mark for some time.
Is everyone switching back to nougat? to be honest I'm not completely sure what the benefit of Oreo is, the net effect is negative for sure.
Seems to be issues with Oreo! maybe roll back wait
https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_ga...nd_bootloops_after_oreo_update-news-31359.php
other ROM for A320FL?
An update: A wipe of the cache disk did not work. I don't want to start resetting factory settings as that will cost too much time. The freezing and rebooting really only happens on the PEAP wifi network, containment is to just disable wifi and the phone is working fine. (for me)
Did anyone roll back to nougat? Is that a smooth process?
Are there any other ROMs for this A320FL that people are happy about?
https://www.sammobile.com/2018/06/04/galaxy-a3-2017-update-june-2018-security-patch
So maybe it contains hotfix for this issue.
Can you someone write here whether wifi problem is fixed when you get this update? Thx
I've made a clean install with :
This firmware has version number PDA A320FLXXU2CRE3 and CSC A320FLDBT2CRD4. The operating system of this firmware is Android 8.0.0 , with build date Wed, 30 May 2018 05:37:04 +0000. Security patch date is 2018-06-01, with changelist 13368006.
And it's fixed.
Same problem here. Wifi disconnects and dont automaticaly connect. so I have 4g all the time consuming data.
Only solution is turn off wifi and turn back.
But after a few minutes it´s disconnected again
I have the same problems. I have done a factory reset and also used safe mode. These did not solve the problem.
As with other users, the problem only occurs on my work wifi. As long as I get my phone to never connect to that particular network it works fine. That is not the solution though. We need a patch on the operating system to fix this.
As I told two post upper, the bug is fixed with the patch : Security patch date is 2018-06-01
Hi. At the start of December, I upgraded my Mi A2 Lite to Android 9 and ever since then I have been facing issues with a few apps over WiFi. The following apps are being affected:
- YouTube
- Twitter
- Facebook
- WhatsApp
- Chrome
*These issues are only on my WiFi. On 4G or any other WiFi these issues don't happen*
The issue with Facebook and Twitter is the same. Both won't load any new feed and behave as if my WiFi is not turned on. YouTube only works at times, other times it would just keep loading and nothing would happen. Sending images or videos on WhatsApp is impossible now. It even has troubles making the backup to Google Drive on my WiFi. As for Chrome the issue is that sometimes even though WiFi is turned on, it would not load any page and just say that I'm not connected to internet. I've been reading other people's threads online and even emailed Xiaomi and Google. I tried the steps (hardware test etc) as told in the email by Xiaomi but that has not helped. Some said that using WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time caused this issue but I have used WiFi with bluetooth turned off yet the issue is still there. Now if this was a WiFi issue then I would have contacted my provider but with the same WiFi connection I have not faced a single issue on any other mobile devices and laptops. As for my WiFi I can't seem to change it from ipv6 to ipv4 (or I just don't know how to). If anybody has faced this issue and knows how to solve it then please help, It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Have you tried disabling Bluetooth and then reconnecting to the WiFi in question? Having both enabled at the same time causes WiFi speed transfers to be really bad, it's an already reported Pie bug.
Btw, can u see 5ghz wifi networks?
Cause i can and have same problem with slow wifi+bluetooth
Yes I have turned Bluetooth off and used WiFi like that but the issue is still there with all the apps mentioned
Any update on this? I'm having the same issue. Using a VPN seems to solve the problem but the connection is slower.
I am facing the same problem on my A2 lite Android One Pie. Even the further upgrades including March upgrade did not resolve the issue. It really sucks.
Has anyone found any solution?
Is MI even concerned or acknowledges the issue?
Is there a way to go back to Android 8?

Hello Dear Sajid Abid,
Good Day !
1st Remember One Thing. Downgrade Is Not A Easy Task, Downgrading Has Also A SIM Issue Problem,.But If You Still Want To Go Back Your Mobile Device From Pie To Oreo You Need To Unlock The Boot-Loader (Off-Course Unlocking Boot-Loader Will Void Warranty) Then Download Stock Oreo (From MIUI Forum) And Flash It With The Help Of IMFlash Tool. After Successfully Ported The Stock Oreo Rom You Can Close The Boot-Loader.
All Instructions/Steps Can Be Easily Found On A2 Lite Forum.
Here Is The Link Which Can Help For Resolving SIM Issue Problem.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/help/sim-card-issue-downgrading-pie-9-0-t3874350
Have A Nice Day.

try developer options and disable "mobil data always on" option.
