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
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.

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?

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 guys, i just dont know why my DHD gps signal is so weak. today i've been driving for 30 km and it could not connect to the satelites, all the way down it was "searching for gps". when i stop the car sometimes it finds the gps signal, but when i starting to drive, the signal drops down again. same problem with locations and google navigation. any ideas folks ?
Could be anything really, there are a lot of factors. If you're riding a hayabusa, it might not be able to keep up......!
Try a factory reset and see if it helps. I personally haven't had any issues.

ok, i'll try this. no, i'm using this in the car lol

what where the weather conditions? do you have heating in your front window? latest updates as to the locations of satellites? A-GPS option off?
any experience with other GPS devices in the car?
Just did a factory restore. Still can't get gps signal to work.
Before the DHD I had a HTC desire and it had a perfect gps signal. Now I place my dhd in the same place and its just showing "searching for gps" all the time. Sometimes he catch up the signal, but it drops down very soon. Maybe there is any solutions how to fix it. Please help me people

I think ill try to reflash the official DHD RUU.

reflashed ruu, still no signal maybe its the hardware faulty? what do you think guys?
I'd call HTC if I were you. Might very well be a faulty GPS receiver.

Did you get any answer from HTC? I have also problems with the GPS-signals on my DHD. Have you checked your gps.conf file in the \etc\ directory?
My gps.conf file contains a NTP server line and it says North-America.pool.ntp.org. I think that this is what causes the slow GPS fix.
Your'e from Irland and I'm from Norway and be both should use the european NTP server. Anyone else may know something about this?
I have the same frustrating problem, just bought my DHD full of expectation here in Dubai. I bought it new at Dubai Airport Duty free and it came with same problem, very poor (nearly zero) GPS reception. It also comes with NTP_Server file north america.pool
But I really believe there is something wrong with the hardware because when I contacted HTC and shortly explained the problem with the GPS reception they immediately ask me to return the product to the HTC technical center here for repair/replacement if necessary (mine is still under warranty). The fact that they so quickly advised me to return the device made me think this is a known problem for them but since their office is so far from my house I am still relutant to take my phone there (this is a nightmare for a brand new phone of 700 USD) I tried everything I could, factory reset, different rom's, all possible apps in the world!, anything you imagine including laying the phone on my backyard overnight with full 360g sky view + data and Wi-Fi connected but no success at all, just 3 or 4 sats on view with poor reception. My HD2 with WM6.5 and Android can fix signal using same apps in 5 sec. inside my room!!! my DHD takes hours for a very weak signal and it drops like anything. I will take my phone to service center this week, can't wait anymore for a web solution...what a hassle...
Just finished Twitter chat with a mate of mine who could NOT pick a GPS signal on his DHD.

Strange but it worked.
Must it be rooted to edit the GPS.conf?

Download GPS Status from the Market. There's an option there to clear the A-GPS state and download new data from the mobile network!
Try that before sending it back. My DHD took ages to get a fix when I first got it, but now it fixes in seconds once the A-GPS state has been updated.
I've had this problem with different gps devices in the past and my dhd as well. You just have to leave it exposed to the sky for long enough to acquire current satelite locations. Preferably stationary otherwise it won't. Another way is to update the list over the internet with gps status or similar. No hardware problem tho.
Well.....as I said before....I tried GPS Test, GPS Status and many others. I have downloaded A-GPS quick fix info from the web, I have left the device exposed to open sky overnight and stationary, etc, etc, etc. No way to get a good signal, it always drop with any movement on the phone. I took my DHD this morning to the service center and a lady, supposedly technician tried to convince me for an hour that I have to leave 3G + Wi-Fi connected in order to use GPS. How comes the technical representative of HTC here in Dubai can be so stupid in telling me such rubbish.... anyways I was so pissed to see that she knew nothing about the phone neither GPS.... ok...story short.. I finally talked to her boss who very luckly had a DHD too. I took this guy outside the shop and showed him my DHD was searching for GPS signal forever and I did the same procedure in his phone in front of both of them. His DHD fixed signal in 5 sec. using Navi Premium, mine was still searching, ing, ing... The same guy called some other " HTC regional office" and someone told him that the version 1.32.405.6 (which is the one on my DHD) needs a ROM update because of language problems and very known problem with poor GPS reception however this ROM will be available only btw Feb/Mar. I was happy on one side to know that they acknowledged the problem, on the other hand we all have to wait 2 month for using the GPS. Whether this ROM in fact will solve the problem or not, this even they don't know, for now, useless GPS on my DHD and let's keep waiting. I am a bit skeptical about this ROM update since I have tried many different ROMs Stock and Custom even some of them with gps.conf europe.pool but no success, off course I didn't tell this to them otherwise I would void my warranty. My last chance is these new ROM release otherwise they will replace my GPS antenna or main board as far as they told me.
I'd regard it as hardware problem.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I am 99% convinced it's hardware problem too but before they mess up with my device trying to replace GPS antenna I will give it a last try with this new ROM release. I know very well how these people work here in Dubai and the last thing I want is people oppening my DHD and soldering components etc. I d rather accept one factory refurbished than fixing mine with those unskilled people. I hope they at least change the whole thing inside instead of replacing micro components.
I found this?
It´s actually for the nexus one with the CyanogenMod 6 (http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/09/09/gps-fix-for-cyanogenmod-6-on-the-nexus-one/)...
Can someone try it and tell me if it work? I have the same problem but as I´am a new user of android , I´m a little bit affraid to do this...
* Take your SIM out of the Nexus One
* Power on the device
* Turn WiFi on
* Turn GPS on
* Open application: GPS Status
* Go into its Settings menu
* Click on GPS and Sensors
* Click Manage A-GPS state
* Click Reset
* Click Manage A-GPS state again
* Click Download
* Now put your phone on a stable, straight surface in order to enable the phone to get a lock. This time, you’ll see your phone get the lock back way faster than before.
With that done, now it’s time to put your SIM back in and use the network to secure a quick GPS fix as well.
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.

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

hello there,
this phone is just released in my country. i would like to buy it but i found this video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptg6cLdA9OU
is this problem common? is there any software to fix?
this video is too old (the rom is B133), i used both B135 and B136 now, with no Wifi probs at all
that's great. thank you.
I agree. I am also on B136 and no issues at all with wi-fi. Good Luck. I think it is a great phone especially for the price.
B136 is the pre installed ROM?
Or in other words: people that buy the Ideos X5 today will not have any wifi connection problems?
Obviously I can only speak from my experience with my own phone, but it came (3 months ago) preinstalled with B133 and did an update over wifi in the phone's update options and had no problems before or after the update. The update was about 3 weeks ago for me and I have been using the wifi almost every night since I go the phone. I am very happy with it
Can warmly recommend this phone, its great !
The price is nice, the quality is fine and the phone is getting a larger community !
If you find trouble with old firmware always update to the newer ones !
Grab them at Huawei and upgrade your firmware, they have a guide included on each firmware download pack you download.
Agree without doubt. I never experienced wifi connection problem. But only some education institute use PEAP encryption may post a problem with most Android, though not the phone itself .

unfortunately its the phone thats causing wifi dropouts in my case..
i can connect to my wifi router with my iPhone 3GS, my notebook, my netbook, my NDS, etc.. in fact X5 is the first and only device that has connection problem with my wifi router..
though i like this phone very much, i can honestly say that wifi problem does exist, at least in certain instances including mine..
So it has been established that this phone sometimes has wifi issues. The question is; can they be solved? and how? anyone got any experience in that area?
I'm on B136 and WiFi is still broken. B136 seems to have made Wifi connections a little bit more reliable, but it still drops out pretty regularly, usually when I try to update more than one app at a time from the Market. In the middle of the downloads it stops because the WiFi has become disabled and has to be restarted again.
It's less of a problem when there's only one update to download, but if there's two or more it happens quite frequently. It also still sometimes happens (though perhaps less frequently than before B136 was released) while it's not downloading anything, just sleeping (I have it set to not disconnect when asleep) or awake and connected to my WiFi network.
The unreliable WiFi connections are one of the two worst problems with this phone (the other one is the wildly variable battery life).
Nobody has a definate solution to this problem?
Is it part of your insurance btw? it is clearly malfunctioning and perhaps should be fixed by the company you bought it from...
i am using genokolar's b137 and wifi is fine ( i had problems before with stock 135).

if you find it hard to download them from there i have uploaded them here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IMZBGHIA (use the gapps that are inside this rar)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3DOP0APD (use this rom)
i have removed some apps he put in there (like nofrills[something like set cpu], a chinese market etc) to make it a total stock rom. just be sure the 1st app you install is Superuser.
I did some tuning to my wifi configuration file and that's all I did to solve connection problems. Just take a look through my thread in the general section with subject title "Wifi Client Tuning ... Solve Connection Problem "

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...

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.
