I'm using Resco Radio to stream live radio, and, while it works fine over hsdpa, I find it buffers every few mins over WLAN.
I have the WLAN set to "best performance", and am approx 75cm from the router - signal isn't an issue. I work in an IT call center so I have tested it with routers there and get the same issue - its the phone not the routers.
I notice that the WLAN symbol at the top of the screen seems to go to "connecting" when this happens, its as though it just drops out intermittently?
Has anyone else experienced similar or is my device possibly faulty?
Thanks!
I am using Wifi all day here in the states (as the phone only supports edge here).
I never had that problem. Wifi is super fast for me.
I did notice though that I think that after I installed NET3.5 Wifi became unstable.
So I removed .NET3.5 and it seems to be working fine and very stable now.
My Wifi setting are "balanced" and I have to admit that with this phone the Wifi power consumption is super low, comparing to other devices.
WiFi working fine here.
I'm using WiFi all day through work's WiFi and at home as well - both WLANs are perfectly stable and super fast here.
I have it set to "balance" for the performance. I'm also amazed how quickly it connects to the WiFi access point when its brought out of 'sleep' mode! MUCH quicker than my Touch Pro!!
FWIW, I have .NET 3.7 installed - no problems at all.
Ok, uninstalled .net...
That didn't help!
However I think I have figured it out, the stupid thing turns wifi off (even though it is in use) when the screen has been off a few seconds, I guess to save power, thereby interrupting my stream!
Now I just need to find a way to force it to stay on, battery be damned!
I like to listen to the radio when I'm going to sleep, so its plugged in to charge overnight anyway, and I turn off wifi when I go out....
have a look at this registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\BCMSDDHD1\Parms]
there's
HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended"=dword:0

1. It disconnects automatically too frequently
2. I have a secure network and I have to enter the 100 digit (seems like) password everytime
3. Sometimes wont' connect at all.
The signal strength is 100% too.
Anybody else have this issue???
Is there a program that can monitor and connect automatically (remembering password) to help me???
Many thanks.
Mine is OK. Only have to enter the password once for the first time. Mine only disconnect when I turn the WiFi off via Communication Manager.
Im with craven.... My WiFi works perfectly.
My WiFi works flawlessly.
There is SPB Wireless for monitoring only.It does not help you reconnect. Good program.
Did you try to adjust the slider on WiFi settings towards Best Performance instead of Best Battery (it's on Power Mode in WiFi settings, from Communications Manager) ?
Maybe you have installed some crappy sofware that takes over your wireless settings(it happend to me when i installed some software- i don't remember it's name right now).
nope mine's ok. doesn't turn unless you specify. Reception is not bad either.
no problem with my xperia...
No problem with Linksys WRT54GL at all. Maybe you should check your router's settings.
Only twice had I needed to re-enter my WPA passkey, but otherwise it's great. Able to enjoy the web whilst in bed and a lot faster than my old P990.
It happened to me twice.
Though no problem lately.
As a little trick, you can use a text file (or whatever code protection software) to store the key and do a copy/paste if you don't want to type the code all over again.
I had this problem at first... I didnt know why it would keep disconnecting...then i figured it out..the wifi disconnects when the phone is in standby. Schaps advanced configuration tool fixed it quick and now im enjoying it very much =)
many people have success upgrading the firmware of their routers to fix
such issues
wifi working grt in my x1
once i entered wep key
now its working grt
You shouldn't use WEP, you can crack WEP under a minute now and even if you use a while "mac" list it's not safe enough since you got the MAC addresses just listening the packets.
my x1 works perfect on wifi. not loosing connection, set up the wlan key at the first time and it was saved forever. have tried it on 5 wlans and everywhere without problems... is think wifi and the gps are the only things that are sophisticated 100% on the x1 ^^

It is good only if you have a usb connection or 110/220V nearby as always on wifi drains the battery in a half day
BTW: the wifi reconnect after suspend is really fast here, almost every time 1-2 sec.
mine is just fine, my home wifi uses a 11 digit password, just had to put in once and never again, doesn't disconnect randomly, only when disable the wifi obviously.
you should check with your warranty, see if they can do something about it, cause your case isn't normal.
have you all changed it to best performance in the settings?
im sitting right next to my router...and it loses connection now? this is quite annoying. i put the slider in the middle.. i sometimes leave wifi on when im asleep at home. so i like to keep it in the middle? whats the deal?
haha...about the Xperia wifi problem,just off your bluetooth b4 u try to use the wifi.
i think xperia is sharing wifi and bluetooth in the same device support.
i been test many time....when open bluetooth the wifi is weak and keep disconnect..
if this problem can't slove it then i think u better send to service center to fix it.
I actually found a problem in the Wifi/Wireless configuration.
I have 2 WPA protected routers with long keys/passwords. I found that if I enter the keys for both, the X1 would only remember ONE of them. I tried this by trying to save the password on either one of the WPA routers, and would only remember the FIRST one entered. So if you entered a 2nd one, it would always forget it, and you would need to manually re-enter the password again. Sure, it would connect, but then after it disconnects or you leave the area, then re-enter the area, it already forgot the password again.
i dont have bluetooth on and this is getting pretty annoying..
are you guys all using best performance?
Hi all,
I'm facing a weird WiFi problem which seems to be different from the ones that have been discussed before and referenced in the FAQ.
Specifically, when I just turn the WiFi on, I can connect to the network (WPA2-TKIP secured), authenticate and browse Web sites etc. There are no problems with the proxy, unavailability of WAP2 in the drop-down box - within first minute or two after turning the WiFi on, everything works as expected.
Hovewer, the signal strength is unstable, and once the signal dies a couple of times, the 8525 freezes: the backlight instantly goes off even if the device is AC-powered, and the device stops responding to anything except Soft Reset.
It should also be mentioned that my WiFi is configured for best performance, not the battery saving mode.
I was suspecting it was a hardware problem, so I hooked up my 8525 to my notebook over WiFi at home, using WEP security. I was hoping that if it was for the broken WiFi hardware, I'd observe the same freezing effect. Still, the WiFi worked just normally. I must admit I didn't intentionally emulate the loss of signal (should test it as well), but with nominal signal strength there were no problems at all!
So does anyone have an idea what could be the reason of 8525 freezing after loosing the WiFi connection? I know there are issues when WiFi is left turned on in standby mode, but, as I've said, in my case the 8525 freezes even if it's on AC power and is being actively used. I've also noticed that sliding the 8525 to access the keyboard somehow increases the probability of freezing, especially when the device is on battery power.
My OS ROM is wm6premium.v2, perhaps there are known WiFi problems with this ROM? Also, the Phone is HardSPL'd and SIM/CID unlocked. Please help, as except for this weird WiFi problem, I'm totally satisfied with my 8525.
Hi Everyone,
I have a strange issue,
My wifi works, but today it won't recognize my work wifi even though it was connected to it on Friday.
I've tried everything I can think of to solve this issue, but the problem is only at work.
I just tried a free spot down the street and it connected to it no problem but it refuses to even acknowledge the fact that I have wifi at work...my laptop and and iphone are both connected, just the Nexus...
I've read os "similar" things happening to other people, but I would love to solve and know more about this if anyone has any info.
Thanks,
Lou
EDIT
I played around some more, and solved the problem.
I went to settings - wireless and networs - wifi settings - then the menu button, and went to advanced settings.
From here I went to regulatory domain and forced 14 channels and it seems to work now.
Hope this helps someone

Seems like they removed that option in the patch.
Cant find it anymore and my WiFi is not really working as it should any longer.. I get a connection speed of only 5mbps sitting very close to my AP. :-/
since update, my wifi is very fidgity. loses my house wifi all the time now. seems like every time the phone goes to sleep. my router is the schizz, so it shouldn't be because of lack of signal.
I've had these issues ever since I bought the phone, but basically the data over WiFi just seems inconsistent. When I first connect via WiFi, it seems okay, but then after about 10 minutes or if I open the browser, it will just stop working completely. Sometimes it will work again if I disconnect and reconnect, but usually I just keep it off. I was hoping the official 2.1 update would fix this, but I have the same issues. Any ideas??

I have had problems similar to this with my phone the entire time I've had it. Yes, I discovered the "Always On" setting under wi-fi about two weeks after the phone came out.
I personally believe my phone just has some kind of hardware wi-fi problem, as it doesn't seem to be a common issue. My phone is actually slower on wi-fi than on 3G. I only get about 600 kbps down and 400 kbps up on wi-fi. Also, while running the Speedtest app, my speeds are very sporadic on wi-fi, and the little needle jumps all over the place.
Thanks for the replies! I see the option. The wording is strange though... "specify when to switch from wifi to mobile data" Does that mean it would only use wifi for 15 minutes at a time then switch back to 3G? That is weird... Can't understand why you wouLd want to do that... Battery maybe...
your router. that makes a MASSIVE difference in speed and reliability.
great example, i had a dlink i would get great speeds, 5-10 mbps on speed test. but after 15 min of no use it goes into sleep mode where my phone cant turn it back on so i have to reconnect every time. i sold it
got a newer cisco. i get 69-100 kbps but it doesnt sleep. its all about settings. search the router ip (i.e. 192.168.1.1-linksys) mess with wifi settings. helpsss aloottt
Hi
I have a problem about accessing internet using wifi. I connect to network, it's ok. But after nearly 30 seconds i cant access internet anymore. My phone says everything is ok, i am connected to my modem, my internet connection is ok but i cant use it on my HD before turning off- and on- my wifi. But i can only use internet for a short time again.
I tried hard reset but everythings is still the same. I am using BlackstoneHenge max stability&speed rom.
So what causes that problem? What should i do?
have you tried turning off your router and turning it back on after a few minutes ?
also try and set the wifi signal strength of the blackstone to performance and not battery. that way, the signal will be stronger and probably not drop. i had the same issue yesterday after flashing another rom, without setting it to full performance, the wi-fi would constantly drop signal and even when i was connected, it would not access the internet properly.
thanks chef_tony and mjuksel
i disabled power save mode of wifi and set to performance mode as you suggested. my problem looks solved now, thanks so much
Solved, thread closed
