Try turn off the "avoid poor connection" option in Wi-Fi - advanced.
Thank if I was helpful.
Cheers
Sent from my Awesome Defy!
got the same problem
"avoid poor connections" on my defy is disabled
(red lens, newest CM10 from Quarx (but on earlier builds also))
Wireless security
Try changing the security on the wireless router. For me WiFi was useless until I changed from WPA2-PSK to WPA-PSK.
Right now I'm not at home so I can't tell if this stands for the new update as well. Worth a try.
My brother have a green lense defy and it's working very good at the same router and same build,but my defy+ doesn't.
Avoid poor connections is disabled :/
It's a very common problem, some have it, some never experience it. Sometimes a router firmware upgrade helps, sometime editing the tiwlan.ini and turning off the N mode. I thought it would be easier to start with the router and if you are feeling brave then
1. Use the Root explorer, open this file path: “/etc/wifi/”,
2. Make a backup and use the file editor to open the “tiwlan.ini”.
3. Find this two lines below, change the value if it is not 0.
HT_Enable = 0 # 0=diable 802.11n support
BurstModeEnable = 0 # 0 - Disabled 1 - Enabled
4. Save the file, then reboot your Defy.
This approach never helped me but who knows...
But still, you should start with the router really.
changing 1 to 0 worked...
thanks for the last post....
worked for me..:good:.
Thank you!I upgraded my router firmware and it's working!!!I hope it will be working on the most routers not only at home
You're Welcome
You're welcome, glad to help, but yeah it's a serious problem and you can't update every router's fw
De ha akarod megpróbálhatod, csak kérlek fényképezd le az arcokat amikor bejelented, hogy "Nem megy a Defy-m önöknél, frissíthetek routert? :laugh: "

Ok Now that you have a hang of your device, you probably want to explore your options and maybe install a Custom Rom. Well, the first thing you will need is to Root the Device.
So what really is a Root ? Why should I do it ? Would it break my Phone ? How about my Warranty ? All legitimate questions. To start off, here's an easy guide by Lifehacker. This whole concept may seem mystical to some of us. Let me try to make it pretty straightforward. Rooting is a process on Android that effectively grants you superuser access. Think of it as Administrator access on Windows. Android is a derivative of Linux. So those from Linux should have no difficulty with this concept.
There are certain operations that only a Superuser can do. Hence you'd want to root in order to so. For ex, remove any application that is installed as System application. Just like on on Windows, Root access does come with risk, so you need to use it with care. Just because you have Root access, does not mean your phone is broken. Typically making wrong changes to system with Root access, will result in affecting smooth operation of your phone. In extreme cases, the device may be Bricked if incorrect software (Rom, Mod or others) is flashed.
When it comes to Warranty, typically Root as such does not void your warranty. But if you end up flashing anything with a custom Recovery, then your Warranty may be voided.
Rooting -
Ok so, I got what Root is and I need to be responsible in what I do. How do I get the root ? Well the first and basic thing would be to install appropriate drivers for Windows. Next in order to Root, please follow the thread to install PwnMyMoto by @jcase. If you have received the Camera update, then you will need RockMyMoto to patch PwnMyMoto. are on Kitkat, then you will need SlapMyMoto. There's a nice Tutorial by @Tha TechnoCrat as well for you. There could be additional questions or specific questions about bootloader downgrade or otherwise. If so you may wish to review a reference thread by @dray_jr
Once rooted, some of you may wish to stick with that and not proceed any further. With root, you will want to remove some of the apps that you don't need. I wish to suggest that you take a complete backup with a tool such as Titanium Backup. That way if you accidentally uninstall/remove something that's critical to android's operation, then you can restore it. For those of you, who wish to install custom Rom, read on.
The first step towards installing a custom Rom is to install a custom Recovery.
Please note, In order to flash any custom Recoveries, you need to have unlocked Bootloader. Barring the open Bounty, the only viable option right now is to get an unlock code from Motorola. Do know that according to this blog, unlocking the Bootloader of a Developer Edition device will NOT VOID WARRANTY!
If you do not wish to unlock your Bootloader, you may also wish to explore Safe Strap. It is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. Its aim is to avoid making changes to the main system partition and only flash or make large changes to the Data Partition in general, /sdcard in particular. When SafeStrap is installed, you should see a menu at boot, with a choice to enter recovery. As of now, the recovery of Safestrap is based on TWRP 2.6.3.0. If you wish to proceed down this path, please see this thread for more details.
Reference - Moto X Forum Thread.
ROOTING WITH LOLLIPOP UPDATE -
With the Lollipop update, rooting process is different. You may wish to review [HOW TO] How to Root 5.1 with (unlocked bootloader) if you have already unlocked the bootloader. If not, you might want to do so, preferably before the update.
For those with AT&T or Verizon version of Moto X, there is another option to Root. Please review Moto X Root AT&T/VZW [KXA21.12-L1.26] for more details on this. Do note, it does require specific firmware version.
Custom Recoveries -
A Custom Recovery is a unofficial Recovery Console that can be flashed to your device's Recovery Partition.
Typically unofficial recoveries offer several advantages over Stock or Official Recovery. Hence the unofficial recoveries are necessary in order to flash a Custom Rom. Apart from flashing a Rom, Kernel or any other firmware, unofficial Recoveries can also take Nandroids.
An unofficial Recovery is also commonly referred to as Custom Recovery. There are two major projects that contribute Custom recoveries. One is called CWM. The other is called TWRP. Given bellow is a list of Custom Recoveries available for your device.
The internal Storage of Moto X does support F2FS, a file system developed by Samsung engineers. The custom recoveries too do support the same.
TWRP 2 Recovery v2.7.1.1 - Official
[HIDE/] Please visit TWRP 2 Project Official website for the latest version.[/HIDE]
TWRP Recovery v2.6.3.1 by @Hashcode -
TWRP 2 Project Recovery for Android KitKat (Android v4.4). As with TWRP 2, this is a touch Recovery. Head over to the Thread for more details.
(Thread updated as of 11-19-2013)
TWRP Recovery v2.6.3 by @dhacker29 -
This is TWRP 2 project brought over to Moto X by @dhacker29. Keeping with TWRP 2, its a Touch Recovery. It does have F2FS support. Head over to the thread for more details.
(Thread updated as of 11-25-13)
CWM Recovery Touch v 6.0.4.8 by @scoobaspeaz -
Touch enabled version for XT 1060 alone. Please visit the thread for details.
(Thread as of 14th April 2014)
Philz Touch Recovery v 6.4.1.5 by @Phil3759 -
This Recovery is for all XT10xx devices. Although Philz is based on CWM, it adds a host of advanced features that are not available in CWM. Please visit the thread for more details.
(Thread as of 15th January 2014)
CWM Recovery v 6.0.4.5 by @dhacker29 -
This is an unofficial Port of the ClockWorkMod Recovery to Moto X. It does have support for F2FS. Head over to the thread for more details.
(Thread as of 12-16-2013)
Open Recovery v 2.09 by @Skrilax_CZ -
One of the big difference Open Recovery has over TWRP and CWM is that, it can backup and restore modem firmware. In particular, it can backup the following partitions.
Code:
boot, cache, data, fsg, logo, modem, modemst1, modemst2, system.
It has F2FS support, however, after Motorola released 4.4 image, f2fs has been broken. Those of you, who are using it, can chime in on any issues.
It was designed for Droid MAXX but works well for Moto X. Head over to the thread for more details.
(Thread as of 12-02-2013)
Back to Stock -
Just like rooting and using custom Roms, there will be a time when some of us might decide that they want to start over. For any reason, should you wish to restore the phone to the condition that it was in when it arrived, that's certainly possible to do. This is collectively called Return to Stock.

I am still building this. Long ways to go before I am complete.
Looks like there's a kernel for you to put in here now.

Guess I do... As I said haven't gotten there though.
Edit - Completed building. Let me know if I am still missing any Rom or Kernel.
The unit does not meet the expectations of the screen as in the expansion of the budget in 2012. Complete failure.
To each their own I guess.
So.... Is the download for VZW also for the Sprint Moto X?

Yeah... That's what I'm trying to determine. The OEM site has info... but saw only AT&T and VZW. I still have 12 days to return it...lol...
Update:
Well... I'm still on stock, not rooted.... guess I'm procrastinating.

Moto X Developer Edition
Just got the Moto X Developer Edition GSM version last night. Is this already rooted? Or do I still follow the instructions in other posts to root it ? If so which APK do I use ? I am using a SIM card from TMobile. Thanks in advance.
The bootloader would be unlocked or user unlockable. You will have to root on your own.
Sub'ed.

Original post needs changing. It looks like AT&T and T-Mobile versions are using the same frequencies, which is only correct for
GSM/GPRS/EDGE.
======
4G LTE bands for T-Mo (which is the same as Developer Edition for GSM networks, 1053): 700/AWS/1900MHz (B17/B4/B2)
3G UMTS bands for T-Mo (which is the same as Developer Edition for GSM networks, 1053): 850/900/ AWS/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps (B5/B8/B4/B2/B1)
Source: http://www.motorola.com/us/Moto-X-Developer-Edition-GSM-Networks/moto-x-developer-edition.html#product-specs
=======
4G LTE bands for AT&T: Bands 2, 4, 5 and 17
4G HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul
3G UMTS bands for AT&T: 850/900/1900/2100MHz
Source: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/motorola/moto-x-white.html
=========
As you can see comparing with AT&T T-Mobile is lacking LTE Band 5. I read that AT&T is not using it in USA at the time, so not sure of how important it is.
[Not sure] On the other hand, for 3G UMTS T-Mobile version has AWS which AT&T doesn't. Unless 4G HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul for AT&T is the same as AWS in T-Mobile.
By stating, "AT&T and T-Mo", I had indicted that they both have same GSM frequency. Op has never stated that the two have different set of frequencies. Both carriers indeed do have a different implementation of HSPA+ protocol with T-Mo's speeds supposedly higher due to compression. Since ATT had rolled out 4G LTE ahead of T-Mo, they didn't focus on H+ like T-mo.
