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

In wifi settings, press menu and then select advanced.

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

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
Hi all,
I have noticed that my DHD seems to disconnect the data connection on a regular basis and I find myself having to go into settings, manually disconnect Mobile Internet and then reconnect and it works OK again... I am in a coverage area so not sure why this happens...
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Yh have the same problem here on t-mobile
Yeah noticed that on three uk

I experience this Problem since today or yesterday as well. Thought it has a reason in my tasked configuration (that worked fine for 4 weeks) but after reading that thread there may be another reason.
Hmm this happened to me today a few times on O2 never had problem before. Data connection just switched itself off even though plenty of juice in battery.
Sent from my HTC HD so may contain typos, bugs and, if the battery lasts, pearls of....(battery 0%)
I have had the same issue today, stopped the data. First thought it was a problem with provider vodafone. But after restart it was working again. Strange problem.

Hi. I have been facing the same problem. Has there been any resolution yet. I have come accross multiple threads with the same problem but no resolution yet..
Same problem i am with orange (UK) - only got the phone tuesday and the problem is intermittent. If phone has been in standby ro say 30 min then i turn on generally no data connection though the 'h' icon is present and the up arrow high lighted but down not. generally a restart helps, bt not always now sometime after fatory reset there is a problem with it dropping signal while in use. Have phoned orange first guy got me to set up a orange gprs wap APN that did nothing. lady i spoke with today very strongly suggested that as i am with 7 days of purchase to return it and void contract - she did not suggest getting replacement handset - this to me suggest that there is a general problem with handsets maybe be a bad batch (mine is chocolate) so i think i might take her advice and wait for the experia arc
The problem only seems to happen with hspda is ok with 3g areas

I had the same issue; connection would look active, 'upload' arrow lit but not 'download', had to manually disconnect Mobile Internet and reconnect to regain connection. This was happening on a daily basis (maybe every other day if I was lucky). No idea what the problem was, but I haven't noticed it again since flashing ARHD & new radio so I'm hoping that's solved it.
I was thinking flashing new radio might help - but given I still have the 7 day return option I am minded to return my phone and hold out for a xperia arc

I have been trying to figure out how turn use the wireless tethering with 4g. I have no problems running it on 3g but the minute I turn on 4g internet stops working. I does stay connected though. I have downloaded different versions of the wireless tether including the newest version. Is this not suppose to work. This also happens with the sprint hotspot.

I may be wrong but I think wimax is on 2.4ghz and so is most wifi. Maybe deep within the kernel or programs there's something keeping that from happening. Kinda same thing that you can't upload anything with the browser either.
It's just a guess.
Which rom are you using and which kernel???? I've been using 4g tether with myn n koni elite series no problem with stock kernel. I. Fact I got great speed from it too.

Clear/Sprint's WiMax is in the 2.5Ghz band.
I am using Koni's ELITE series II, that i just flashed about 5 mins ago. before that i was using Koni's Elite I. I'm still a noob in this android platform, coming from a long time user of windows mobile. My kernel version is 2.6.32.17 -gee557fd htc-kernel2and18-2 #15. software is 3.70.651.1. I can usb tether, i can hotspot tether, and i can wireless tether, but only on 3g. BtW, I just bought this phone 2 days ago..hardware version 0003.
Is your wifi toggled on? 4g is programmed to disconnect anytime a wifi connection is available

no wifi toggle.
I have changed officially through 6 roms, and none allow me to wifi tether with 4g. . I am now back to my stock nand restore since i haven't been able to figure any of this out. I really ponders me because others are claiming to have 4mb + speed on 4g tether. i'm stuck on 25kb tether on 3g and thats with full signal strength. I have ran out of things to do to get it to work.
one thing i did find interesting was that when i had my 4g connected and was wifi tethering, i was able to open google on my laptop and search for whatever- on the app it begins to read 128kb and so on -, but if i go else where and leave google search - ie..xda, msn-, IE or Firefox would tell me connection failed and i would see the app on my phone go to 0.0kb.
what is someones configuration to try that combination out to see if it works. Could it be the way i rooted? the kernel (although i changed through 3 of them)? the rom (changed through 6 of them)? or just the phone hardware(how would i prove it to sprint to replace it?)? maybe user error!
I have the exact same problem as butwhydoitalk2u. I'm rooted on 2.2 stock. WiFi is turned off. I've tried all channels and none work with 4G.
It started happening about a week ago. I didn't install any new apps. Pretty sure I didn't update anything voluntarily either.
3G works, 4G doesn't work with wireless tether.
Google.com will load on laptop browser, I can search, but any external links won't load after clicking through.
All other sites will time out on laptop browser.
Phone, mobile browser, etc. works fine while 4G is turned on, not sure if it's 4G speeds though.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
I'm not 100%, and I know it is just a technicality and does not matter, but I do believe that WiMax is in the 700MHz band.
As of last night I have this exact same problem.. as soon as I turn on 4g I loose wireless tether.. stock ROMs just rooted.. tried two tether programs...
I was using this for 2 months no issue then all off a sudden... browser on phone works fine..
ANYONE???
Are those that are having issues using a "Switch Pro"?
I dont know what a switch pro is but my phone is a EVO 4g...
Anyone know what's going on?
Been using it heavily for the last week, no issues on Myn RLS5. FWIW I turn on wireless tether first, then 4G.

In the USA, the biggest segment of wimax is around 2.5*GHz, and is already assigned, primarily to Sprint Nextel and Clearwire
Does anyone know if it is every going to be possible to reduce the amount of charge the WiMax radio takes in? If not, does anyone know exactly why it draws so much more than the wifi radio for example?
If you wanna tether 4g with no problem go download the latest cm7 final nightly and use the tether options that's cooked into the Rom. I have no problems with it. I'm currently tethering my Xbox over 4g as I'm typing this post. Hope that helps

Hey guys, ive been tethering for awhile now, and had no problems, just really noticed this after my second month of service.
But, when tethering, HTML web browsing is pretty slow, and my Network Meter widget on my computer says im loading webpages at only 25 -30 KB/s but when i download a torrent/file or anything else (even streaming youtube) my dl speeds go up to 130-208 kB/s. So i thought it was IE9 but then when connected to an actual wifi access point, i experience so issues. Also, i downloaded Google Chrome and the same thing happens. Secondly, when im skyping or oovooing, it will randomly disconnect and hang me up, but yet the icon on my phone says that im still connected to data and everything is fine.
Question is this: Do you think the issue resides in my laptop, phone, WiFi tether app, or T-Mobile network?
I must add both the speedtest app and website (ran from computer) yeild the same speeds. Im completly stumped as to why its like this, im putting my money on the tethering app, but at times when i get kicked off skype and it says i have no internet connection, i try loading a webpage on my phone and it takes a bit longer. (Its really hard to say) but i really need ideas as to where i can start diagnosing and eliminating things.
AS USUAL THANKS GUYS
Are you on Magldr? If so, can you test it with cLK? I'm tethering wired and wireless with cLK and it had been pretty fast- the only time I see a lag in losing any page is if the site is a known, slow one (like the Indian Railways reservations site!)...

Im on CLk, i dont like MAGLDR because i have the red key digitizer error. Where the touch screen becomes unresponsive when you use the end key. I might tear it apart and try to fix it someday. But a thought just came across, could T-Mobile somehow know im tethering and throttle me then?
Ah! You didn't mention TMo (am on XDA app, can't see it even of you have added it to your profile!)
It's very much a possibility- other TMo users, can you check this one out?
And how do you tether- wifi or wired? Built-in or an app? I use built-in for wireless and the wired tether app. The app shows the speeds in realtime, try it if you already haven't...

Haha sorry man! Wasnt sure if it mattered. But i have a feeling its my phone, as something strange happened just a few minutes ago, i was tethering, and i lost connection, so i enabled Airplane mode, then disabled it, and it said 3 bars of service no matter where i was.. it was like the radio got stuck/froze or something. Im gonna flash another radio just to check it out. Also, i use the WiFi tether for root users app which actualy uses built in wifi tethering. But i cant really see the speeds as my phone only gets 3g on my window sill xD and i use VNC viewer to control my phone from my computer. And the tether app uses the wifi port to monitor speeds, so it goes way high when im controlling my phone with VNC from my computer so its hard to say. Im more convinced its the phone :/ but just dont know what.
I think ive narrowed it down, after changing ROM, RADIO, kernel, location, only one thing made a difference, and that was location. I think the connection is unstable because there are no bars showing, just shows the H and that its connected, so i think its just that my signal is horrible, wont know till i get my SGS2, if i get it. :/ my HD2 sucks with signal, can a bad SIM cause this?

bahaha i have to do it to the wifi antenna as well. but the wires are still connected, i dont understand what could be causing my horrible service, unless the HD2 is that bad?? i plan on buying an SGH - T989 but i dont know yet....
Are you sure your place has a good signal, and its just the HD2 that is not picking up? Try with another phone. I used to have black-spots in my home a long while back, and used some app for Symbian for my E72 to check the signal strength at various places within the house as well as the cellular towers that is available for me - maybe something like that is available for Android (should be available for sure, is Symbian has it Android will have a million alternative!).

Well i tried with my Sprint Touch Pro 2, and it got really good edge signal (doesnt support 3g on tmo) but when id put my hands around it it would loose service, but in general, it was much better then the HD2. and actually, we went to see a circus, and inside the stadium, HD2 had no service, but Touch Pro 2 had full bars... so im guessing its the HD2. :/
Hi, sorry for disturbing, I have a weird connection problem and I am pretty sure it is not the internal antenna... When i use the phone for Internet, mail etc etc.... Everything goes fine it uses a 4G connexion and I almost never have a problem, I do have a problem Sometimes when I am not in a 4G covered area... Than i have to change the network modus to wcdma /gsm automatic because if I leave it on lte /wcdma /gsm the phone is jumping all the time between hspda /h/edge gprs... And this goes fast like that that connection fail... This problem stops when i change modus than I get a stable 3g connection.... A little bit disturbing but Okay..... The biggest problem is that I m always connected with my messenger services like for example WhatsApp.... When i have the phone in my hand no problem at all.... But when he stays on the table or in my pocket it is kinda weird.... Sometimes I don't recieve my messages and than suddenly when I pick up my phone I get like ten messages in once starting from like half hour before.... All this started like three weeks ago, network provider say there are no network problems, I didn't drop my phone or something... Internet connection is just acting very strange lately and this started before I updated to the official 4.4 rom and didn t change after...... I also have to tell that I don’t have problems at all with phone calls or texts messages..... It's just those two mobile Internet issues.... Since i m only good for using the phone and don't know nothing about the technical parts or something... I wanted to ask the question to all of you experts.... And wanted to ask for help and if possible a solution? I want to thank you in advance and hope you guys can help me soon.... Kind regards...

Hi thanks for answering.... Tried everything.... Still same two connection problems..... Only thing I didn't do yet was a hard reset.... Could this problem be caused by an application or a bad uninstalled application? Thanks in advance

Hmmmmm, highly unlikely from my point of view, but however there could be some apps locked into 2G or 3G or 4G connection.
Try how clean system doing, if it's same, consider it a hardware problem which there is nothing we can do about it...

i am having network issues
wifi works good
2g works good
3g/4g doesnt work at all no signal if i select these networks
is it a modem issue or kernel issue
