Hi
Just tried to use usb tethering for the 1st time since 2.1 update.
All still looks like its working but no internet access. Tried under Linux on the same pc that always worked under 1.5
Also tried it on xp although I have never used it on there before I got the same kind of symptoms. Itooks like its all working but no internet, no pings, no nslookup.
So..... can someone try it and let me know if its working for you.
I am on T-Mobile UK. Ota 2.1 update, non rooted, stock Rom.
Thanks
I have exactly the same problem. I have spoken to TMob UK support who have not yet managed to solve it.
I'm wondering if they've not set up the phone right in the 2.1 update.
Glad its not just me. I will report it tomorrow as well.
I have a mate with a desire on tmob - will do a side by side with him tomorrow (and confirm his is working) and see if it is just settings - although it feels like a deeper problem to me.
I'll post findings.
Same here - tethering works fine on my Desire, but the missus Hero doesn't work - hoping for some resolution soon
Just moved house so am without internet for the next week, so tethering is bloody useful right about now!
Have put a 2.2 rom onto my Desire and am using WiFi tethering for now, but doesn't help when I'm not in...
If you are rooted, there is an app that works fine.
But custom roms don't have this issue afaik. VillainROM 12 works fine with tether, as I had to use it at work to test external connectivity to a system.
It's an option and one I will look into.
It worked fine under 1.5 and so far its the only thing that us causing me an issue.
T mobile tech support were able to reproduce, and in their testing they found a factory reset fixed the problem - I have confirmed (as has another user over on the tmobile forums).
Gave me an excuse to clear up the rubbish that had accumulated on phone.
All working now.
its working fine for me :/

and me, just done the Orange OTA 2.1 update and tethering works fine on the phone right after the update... if you need to factory reset to get it working it must be something you have installed on the phone.
Or maybe tmobile did something different to orange. Or maybe the radio roms are different.
Was quite a few tmob users and tmob support so if it was a rogue app then it was a fairly common one
Either way. It's working now.
Wish all problems were resolved as.simply.

I certainly think it has something to do with the installed apps on the phone after the update else why would a factory reset solve it, its not the Rom that is the problem... I take it you had heavily customized your phone.

Actually no- 5 apps, lastfm, xda, facebook, ambling audio book reader and handcent sms - restore took less than 5 minutes after factory reset, all contacts and calendar info on google.
Given that the functions like handing out dhcp address worked, it was fundamentally was "all there" I can easily imagine a startup routine that says something like
if file exists "some config file" then leave it alone
else make a new one
When you reboot, config file exists so leave it alone in, when factory reset - file doesn't exist, make a new one.
Perhaps the key thing is I was a heavy user of tethering before the update, perhaps when I did the upgrade I forgot to "stop" tethering and just pulled the cable - can't remember, so maybe I had a config file/param that the newer kernel, ip stack etc. didn't expect to see and didn't handle well.
The key thing about factory reset isn't the rom I agree, the code is the code - but it's the wiping of the configuration and volatile data - something got broken for me, and the guys at tmobile, and about 5 other users who reported the same problem - so whilst it obviously works for some without a reset, equally it didn't for others - for at least 3 of us (2 end users and 1 at tmobile) a reset was needed.
If it was a one off, absolutely agree, it must have just been me/my setup - but it wasn't an isolated case.
Personally, I was surprised when the 2.1 update didn't wipe the phone, I was expecting it - so in my case no real problem once suggested to me - others might have more dependency on the installed apps and config but for me this was an easy fix.
Either way, it's back working now - so if it works without a reset - great, and if it doesn't work, a reset looks to fix it - so great as well.
Hi,
I am wondering if anybody has similar problems with wifi - 3g/data connection works perfectly, but when I am connected over wifi, after sometime the connection dies and I have to disable wifi and enable it again, in order to restore network access. I hoped that froyo would fix that, but as there is no froyo on the horizon I decided to ask.
The phone firmware is 2.1 update1
Software number 2.05.405.2

Yes I get this too. The connection is still active but many apps suddenly decide to notify me that I need a WiFi/3G connection before I can use them. Turning WiFi off and back on fixes it. This also happens on my branded Desire running 2.1, which may imply it is related to the router settings. I will have to test on other routers. My WLAN is configured to 802.11g only, WPA2-PSK only (WPA-PSK and 802.11b not allowed) on channel 13.
actually great to know that i'm not the only one. i get this all the time, and i even emailed htc about this and response was retarded. they told me how to connect to my router. i tried pretty much everything on this issue. connect and reconnect, change channel from 13 to 11 or 14, nothing seems to be working. hopefully 2.2 will change all this.

i think the htc legend has the worst wifi reception for all phones of 300 $
havent noticed a single improvement with every update
I had this problem with my first legend. The touch screen malfunctioned so I brought it back and got a replacement. The new one is much better. I am very happy with it.
For instance, in my home office I could never connect with my first legend, it would say association failed when trying to associate with the AP. On my new one it works and I've had it sitting on the desk now for about 4 hours and I picked it up and unlocked it and the wifi worked immediately.
I very occasionally had this until I switched the wifi sleep policy to never after reading somewhere that it would actually increase battery life and haven't had this problem since. Not noticed any difference with battery life though I only switch wifi on when I need it and off when I'm finished.

For what it's worth, I have the same problem and I'm sure it's related to my phone, not the routers.
I hade no problems with this before my last OTA update...

i dont want to hijack the thread but is the wifi antenna like **** for everyone or is just me?
im thinking that it might be the aluminium case that shield the antenna because reception is unbeliavable bad
im curious to know if desire/nexus mount the same wifi antenna as legend
if you put static ip it works perferct for me

I only have a problem very occasionally with wifi, maybe once per month, and I think this has more to do with my crappy router than anything else.
I have the same problem with WiFi cutting out afters while even when the phone hasn't been moved and when its situated inches from the router
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
Generally it is not good idea to have router and client too close together. That way radio noise increases and that's not good.
Thanks for the tip. but it does it downstairs too when Im watching TV the phone is well away from all electrical appliances, after toggling wifi bOFF/ON I get full signal strength.
Same here. After a few minutes normal browsing on Wifi, pages seem get so far then refuse to load. Only solution is to turn WiFi off then re-connect. The WiFi permission is set to never sleep. I'm not rooted and running stock wwe 2.3 ruu.

Same here!
Anybody have any ideas how to resolve this issue? It's really frustrating having to re-connect wifi every 5 mins. Possibly to do with debranding to stock wwe 2.3 ruu from Vodafone?

having the same issue, despite having wifi on never sleep
looking forward to getting rid of this phone once I get my htc desire z, HTC doesn't seem to care about it since the only recent OTA they released made it worse

Are you using the market version or one of the newer versions from: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
I tested the newest (pre10 http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_0-pre10.apk&can=2&q= ) and it worked for me.
I don't think the version in the market works with our setup right (EB13) now.

I tried pre10 several times. Each time it crashed my phone so bad that it actually REBOOTED (as opposed to FC)!!!!

I saw someone else had that problem in another thread. I'm not going to be much help, I just tested it out but haven't done anything more with it. You might search around, though, because that person definitely got it to work even with the reboots and had some advice on that, I think.
Stock rooted EB13, the market version of WiFi tether works fine for me.

I had the same problem... I switched back to v3 pre 4... Stol have the same problem... do you use ad-hoc or infrastructure w/ hotspot activated?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
3.0-pre10 works fine for me. Even tested it by tethering to my laptop.
I did notice with my netbook, it would say it was disconnected, but it actually had internet connection (to the phone - speed test and IP proved that).
It appears there's a glitch of some sort in reporting a connection, but it works.
The app does seem to interface via the Sprint Hotspot, as that starts up, so make sure you didn't remove that APK.

I was using the defaults. I did go into the phone profile after the first reboot and changed from auto to Samsung Epic but didn't help.
awesome!

YES... works awesome!! I have downloaded every type of tether. Worked flawlessly and my connection is pretty damn fast!! TY
I've tried numerous versions of WifiTether. wifi_tether_v3_0-pre11 being the most recent. At first it worked for a couple hours and now it reboots my phone as soon as I start it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled pre7-11 with same results.
After updating the system to 1.84.832.2, HTC Weather cannot update information via mobile network. An error message stated: "The connection dropped while your weather information was downloading...." HTC Weather can obtain update weather information via wifi network without problem.
Other weather widgets can auto update via mobile network within set interval without problem except HTC Weather. Any body has the same issue after system update in your area?
I have searched in Google there is another post in GSMArena DHD review another user reported on 23 Mar 2011 faced the same issue after system update:
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_hd-reviews-3468.php
Really wonder only a few unlucky user can't update the weather information after this system update.
Damn, I can confirm I'm also having this problem, just checked mine now and the last time it updated was the time I updated my software yesterday. When I go into the weather app now it won't update.
EDIT, the version I'm on is 1.84.110.3
EDIT, contacted HTC and they said to fix this I must wipe my phone, guess I'm not going to have any weather updates until the next update is released.

Hi there I've got the same problem Ive reset the phone still got the same problem wot a pain so I would think if would need another software update
I'm having the same problem. At first I thought it was just difference between my mobile provider and my wifi at home. (The great firewall messes with things very unevenly).
Definately started after the lasted update. In fact I feel like I'm having gprs/edge issues a lot more since the update.
Wifi is fine though.
I'm having the same ISSUE TOO!~ what's HTC doing? keep calling us to wipe our phone to solve problems... don't they have engineers to fix the customer's problems?
Me too with the same problem. I am with UK TMobile, standard ROM, and weather updates stopped dead after the OTA update.
Strangely, weather updates work if I am logged into my home wifi network.
Not impressed.
Its been an absolute nightmare and Tmobile dont want to do anything.. think a root is coming.. lol..

Don't trust on hard reset the DHD can fix this issue since I have done that on day one and the weather still does not auto update. It has to be fixed by HTC via another patch to the latest system update.
Same problem as mine.
"Connection dropped ... blah blah blah" keeps appearing while trying to update weather via mobile network (2G/3G)
WiFi works fine though.
I use DHD in thailand and updated to 1.84 a week ago.
No weather problem
My self not facing any problem on the update 1.84.832.2.
My weather update is functioning in good condition.
I can confirm that, at least in my case, a factory reset fixed the problem.
or maybe its fixed on their end at the same time as I did a reset...
My weather doesnt work either.
I'll wait for a fix. Not going to reset.
I can update the main weather using WiFi, but the "news&weather" app refuses to work.

Same for me after OTA - no weather update. Rubbish.
IT WORKS AGAIN!
Not sure how. I tried downloading another weather app 'aix weather' (or something). That installed but couldn't locate it to run it, so I removed it.
Tried my news&weather on WiFi and it worked. So I disconnect and tried on 3g, and it still works!

Interesting, I think I will try this later.
EDIT. I tried this and it did not work. On another note I've been updating my weather on my phone via WiFi and I've noticed that its predictions are far different to that of http://uk.weather.com/ Which one is wrong ?
"Android News and Weather" and "HTC News" can update via mobile data but "HTC Weather" can only update via wifi connection. Hard reset did not fix HTC Weather update via mobile data connection.
HTC said there was nothing wrong with the update... and suggested I reset again which didn't help.
They suggested to contact my network provider.. which again was load of crap...
I ended up flashing a stock Rom and believe me guys I love my phone even more since.. battery life is far better in the stock Rom

I'm not facing the problems. At time of reading this post, the HTC weather app just updated itself.
Could it be a problem at the HTC end and they fixed it already?
Helllo,
I could not find any revelant thread for this and so i waited for the Marshmallow update and not yet to come so i thought i could use some professional help to fix this irritating issue.
I have HTC One m9+ and so far everything is going well with the phone, except one single thing and driving me crazy which is the internet issue.
I have two major issues:
1- When phone is on WIFI at home and i did not use for some time, the phone seems to be disconnected from the internet .. and i have tried all possible tweaks and settings for power saving and sleeping but nothing worked so far, the only thing that is possible for me is to keep on data 4G all the time, which comes the other problem
2- When on Data (3g or 4G) the phone sometimes loses connectivity completely, i just have to wait and wait until i get 4G connection again.. although signal is ok and i still receive calls but just data stops.. i tried matching settings like my galaxy note 3 and checking different APN from ISP but still same.
However, the first problem is more important, but if you can help me with both it will be great
Hello, update that the problem is actually in Whatsapp application and not the rest of the phone, on WIFI whatsapp does not receive any messages unless i open it after unlock (works fine on data)
I tried PNF and change heart beat but still the same. background data is enabled for whatsapp, notification all good, reinstalled application.. still the same
Do you have some ports blocked at your Wifi? WhatsApp and other messenger like Viber are using some ports which may be blocked at Univercity Wifi or other Wifi's...

in wifi settings, log press your wifi SSID than advanced options and set the IP to DHCP
hope it works

i had the same problem but i solved out on HTC m9 + . bluetooth and wifi doesnt work together get speedtest app and try it with that when yopu have bluetooth on wifi speed gets under 0.1 mb download and 0 upload speed after you shutdown the bluetooth wifi is ok this problem comes with the 1.08.401.6 change your firmware
Yes, I get exactly the same. Seems that switching on Bluetooth causing significant issues with Wi-Fi. Should have been fixed by HTC ages ago.
I am on the latest EU firmware 1.90.401.3 - I don't think it used to be an issue.
