[Q] wifi problem solved?

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).

Where are you download this custom rom? I only find one V8 in chinese forum. Is this, you'r talking about? Is this multilangual?

yep this is it!
every android version is multilingual!
thats his latest version:
http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-3177723-1-1.html
also use the google apps (GMS) from here:
http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-2875088-1-1.html
be sure to have this installed before doing anything:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130524
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 "

Telus Desire HD OTA Gingerbread - New Radio

Hello all, this was brought to my attention today, courtesy of my news feed from mobile syrup.
Today Telus is pushing out an OTA update to Gingerbread, and according to the picture in the link, it looks like it has a new radio with it too. I have no clue about how to get a hold of this, but I thought I would pass on the information to the folks here.

I notice my weather now updates to my current location,other than that,I'm still playing.

I posted some information in the HTC Desire HD radio thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15005471&postcount=1619

So far here is what i found after update
Quadrant benchmark is max at 1580
Program opens a bit faster
HTC Message widget no longer have any choice on which sms program to open from
much faster on phone reboot

So is this Telus GB rootable?

Is anybody else having horrible 3G data issues with this update? Whenever I'm not connected to Wifi and attempt to use data my phone reboots. It has made my phone completely unusable. So far I haven't heard of anybody else with my issue though....
It also does not seem rootable. In an effort to prevent having to take my phone in to Telus I tried rooting and failed.

I've been having issues where it won't connect to mobile network .When I try to do it manually it tells me my SIM won't work with Telus,but restarting the phone fixes the issue,still very annoying.

That's a weird one. Mine's even worse though. If I leave my phone in my pocket it restarts about once every minute or two.

[Q] Acer Iconia A500 on 3.2.1 - Wifi problem

Hi...
I had been using my tab for over 4 months without any issues. My wifi has suddenly stopped working (tab gets connected to the wifi but the the icon doesn't turn blue and the network is not up). I had recently updated to 3.2.1 but it was working fine for a few weeks on that too.
I changed my Wifi router security from WEP to WPA and also tried using static IP. I even did a factory reset (apart from the hard and soft resets) and I still have the problem. It is not rooted (and I don't want to do that yet) and since I'm not able to connect to the internet, I can't use any market apps to fix the wifi issue (even if there is one). Appreciate some help on this. Thanks.

This was happening to me all the time pre 3.2.1. Updated, sometimes it still happens but a lot less. I don't have my tab in front of me but I did find a Wifi widget icon. All you do is press it once to turn Wifi off and then again to start it again. You can probably find an APK on Google and install through your computer.

Kjy posted a wifi fix over in his rom. Install it. It was Acer official so I know it will work with stock. Having a similar problem and thinking about installing myself.

Yea but don't you have to be rooted to install that which the OP said he didn't want to do.
I am having wifi signal strength issue with mine as well. I think I am going to sell mine to get something else. It seems like these units are notorious for lie signal strength which sort of defeats the purpose of a tablet. When my phone gets significantly better strength that is bad.
I think it might be because of the metal back cover and a poor antenna.

Should I just go into recovery mode and install the specific file? Can you point me to the location of the fix?
Thanks.

Search this forum for the file... It's not hard to find. You'll need ClockworkMod to install it. Just flash on top of your rom, reset cache and (just to be sure) dalvik cache under advanced...
That actually only solves a part of the problem; the other part is the fairly weak antenna (just replace it, instructions are in this forum). The less intrusive solution is a repeater (~30 euro here in Germany).
Another good lead is to use a better WiFi AP. Cheap ones (particularly with those 10dbm antennas) tend to produce a lot of noise, which in turn triggers the driver bug (which seems to be the root of this evil) more often... this can be so bad it actually makes WiFi completely unusable (happened to me). The only solution to this is to spend a few extra bucks for some good router hardware (I use a Linksys/Cisco router and Huawei repeaters, all of which work fine).

[Q] Tab 4 7.0 forgets wifi

After an hour on the device it simply forgets it's connected. Even if I'm watching a movie it will stop aND say no connection. I've returned it once so I think it is software vs hardware. Anyone else?
Goofy

I had a 7.0 for a week and not one had problems

Yeah mine does that also, not my fave, but I just turn the wifi off and then back on again. Sometimes it only stays on the wifi for 10 minutes! Hope there is a fix at some point.

Seems like a Samsung issue....
Looks like all along the Galaxy lineup there are wifi issues.
I tried everything, preventing wifi from sleeping, using wifi fixer, nothing seems to work.
Sometimes my wifi will stay connected, the upload will work, but I get no download.
Rebooting wifi on quick toggle seems to only do the trick.

Have you all updated the software?

Yep, I updated to the latest software the moment I received the tab

Hmm, have you tried with more than one WiFi connection?

Yep, seems to do it more often with a 5Ghz connection than 2.4 though.
None of my other 5Ghz devices (3 iPhones and an iPad) drop wifi.
Signal is on clearest channel available.
Pretty much isolated everything outside of this tablet.
I'm pretty techy with my home networking, so I'm at a loss with this one.

Yes, it has been updated and yes it has occurred on my home wifi, my work wifi, my doctor's office wifi, and unfortunately the hospital's wifi. All with the same outcome! My S5 doesn't do it nor did my S4 running Kit Kat.

So, still no fixes for this! As a previous poster now it is getting where if I'm playing a game it will drop after 10 minutes! I have power save off everything. While hitting the WIFI on off button works it is highly annoying! I want my WIFI all the time not when my tablet thinks I should!

Think I have a solution http://tinyurl.com/nfbgxds
Hope 5th is will help out so far so good for me!

I just got this tab 4 7 inch last week and I am having the same problem with connections showing connected but not having any data transfer. The steps in the above link did not help for me.
I have updated to the latest firmware posted on sammobile, both the Canada version and the nook (BNN) version. Neither have made a difference.
I have found another thread in thisnforrum for this same problem, and there wasn't any solution there either.
I did find wha I think might be solution but haven't proofed it yet. in the build prop there was two "ro.carrier" lines. I think there is only supposed to be one, so I commented out one.
Original Example:
ro.carrier=wifi only
ro.carrier=unknown
Changed example:
ro.carrier=wifi only
#ro.carrier=unknown
If anybody can confirm this makes a difference or not please post results
EDIT::
After two weeks without problem anymore it appears the fix was the static IP address not the build prop change.
I found threads going back to at least 2007 about Samsung devices having trouble with dhcp and all the solutions being manually assign a static IP to the device.

Same issue here. Sometimes I have to cycle the WiFi every webpage!
Both of the above solutions didn't work for me, unfortunately.
Edit: Okay, I may have found the issue, at least for me. Turns out, the tablet was auto-assigning the same IP as my RasPi. After setting a static IP, everything looks okay from here. Hope this helps!

Changing to static IP did nothing, I was having to reset wifi on the tab every time I turned on the screen.
I even had wifi fixer constantly running.
Finally updated to NJ3 and everything is working properly.
Looks like it's a FW issue.

It should be one line:
ro.carrier=wifi-only
Script can be added however by attacting to the rom on the correct line parameters and scripting for digital on board configuration (no smart card) QMAL gsm, gprs, 3g, 4g, even lte or 5g, or 6g, no sim card required researve slot for world phone, or dual networking. The problem is each phone has to be separately programmed so cell companiesnhave walked away from needing higher qualified employees by switching to smart cards. Cost way less and employes way less people and note, your phone didnt cost you a penny less. I been doing cell phone tweaking since the motorolla brick was cool. Currently I used Samsung Galaxy Note 8010 64-bit 32 gig converted to XAC (its the industry's mobile payment recieveing device you see at bars, its made from the model previous mentioned)[to-wit-it says on their site not to tell anyone about]-or else- build then added Debian, Jessie. Then switched the imei to XAC, installed the telephony.manager.is_network_roaming=true along with the prpper scripting for the support and am hooked up to Sask-Tell. Once I got it connected and registered so it had a sign in address with the system i swutched the imei to all 000000000000's now they dont even send me a bill. But it works. The guy at the phone company couldnt even tell me where i was calling him from and he said my phone was disconnected while I was on the phone with him from the disconnected number. lmfao have a good day.

HTC One m9+ Internet 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...

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.
