WIFI only works with firmware 1.23

Hello people, I have a question: Does anyone know why or how WIFI works for me only with version 1.23. And not with 1.3x or 2.0X?

I guess even HTC does not know why WiFi sometimes stops working.
My Legend got the 1.3x update OTA without any problems. When later the 2.0x update was pushed my WiFi stopped working. It showed no MAC adress in the adapter infos.
I wrote a support request to HTC but did not get an answer for about 2 weeks or so.
I found the thread here on xda developers in which is explained how to downgrade your legend. I downgraded my phone, WiFi worked again. I installed the 2.0x update OTA again and this time WiFi worked.
A few days later I received an answer from HTC. Only boilerplate stuff, not helpful at all. Later I received a mail asking me to rate their service - they received the worst marks in this rating.
When I was on holiday last week I got a phone call from HTC. Too bad I was abroad and had to pay high roaming costs - so I kept it short. They asked me about my WiFi problem. I told them that they were of no help but I solved the problem on my own. They wanted to know how and I told them.
I am sure they have no idea what causes WiFi to stop working after an update. Seems like some randomness.

Serious problem with Wifi Calling

Hi Guys,
Today I installed the following ROM along with the Wifi calling app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060
I have increased the partition size to 175MB since this guide recommend it. Well, that's not exactly what it's says, it recommend 145MB but I guess adding another 30MB won't hurt.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038784
Everything installed and worked fine. The problem started when I use the wifi app.
The app version I installed: wifi-calling-htcleo-gb-20110628.zip.
Here are the problems. Once in a while it works fine.
1. Phone calls started to freeze.
2. Can't use the bluetooth
3. App freezes
4. Need to wait couple minuted before the next call (not a big deal)
I did some research this morning and found out that I need to upgrade to newer SIM card because some people had success after they changed to newer one. The guide recommend that too.
So I went to T-Mobile store and got changed the SIM card.
But that didn't solve the problem.
Please help
Thank you

hes saying skype on wifi does the same, it could very well be an issue with the drivers for wifi
wifi calling isnt native to the devic e so i would expect there to be bugs/issues with it

This is a known issue thats why no replies...considering HD2 is not an android phone to begin with and wifi calling is a feature ported from "true android devices" there have been alot of problems getting it to work with our phone. I personally had the same issues as you did and force closes on phone.android after installing wifi. I ended up giving up on it for now until more development is done for the wifi...overall it is pretty good considering we arent even supposed to have it for this phone.

Wifi problems with latest rom ICS, an idea!!

I notice that a lot of users have problems with "death sleep of wifi" on the new ics rom.
So i remember that when Samsung Italia roll out an update to 2.3.6 (KK1) a lot of users experiencing same issue as ics or even worse.
Then samsung italia sudden release the xila firmware to resolve these issue.
The issue coming from the fact that several models of I9100 have the wifi chip from
Murata Manufactoring
So everyone that have this issue should go on http://hwaddress.com/ and paste his mac address found on Settings -> Info -> Status
I try but i have one from Samsung Electro Mechanics

Mine is from Murata and I am experiencing some problems with Wifi
The only solution is to wait for a new firmware?

The objective of this thread is to establish if the issue is hardware related.
For now is only +1 to Murata

Well I have a Murata chip but I do not experience Wifi issues.

I have Murata and didnt recognized any issues with Wifi?
What exactly is the issue about?

Well i'd like to know chip version of People that HAVE THE ISSUE.
Not those that have not it
In anycase issue is that wife toggle stay forever with connecting...and the only solution is restart.

Exactly what happens to me. It does not happen very often. I would say it happens once a week, but it is still annoying.
I suspect that it could be something related to when you enable or disable WiFi with the 3G connection enabled. The WiFi icon freezes and the only solution is to restart the phone.
Another thing is that I used to connect to my MacBook through WiFi using GingerBread without problems, but now with ICS the WiFi disconnects from time to time.

Mine is Samsung Electro Mechanics and have the wifi problem since upgrading to ICS. Basically, sometimes I will turn wifi off but when I turn it on again it won't do anything until I reboot and only then will it connect. I think this is the same issue being experinced by many. I think its just an ICS bug with SAmsung's releases. Hopefully future releases will fix it

So it is not a privilege of Murata's

So it seems not hardware related :banghead:

Are you guys having this problem all the time? Mine is random. I could go most the day turning wifi on and off and not have the problem and then all of a sudden it will not be able to turn on. I am on LP4 build

I had this issue while on ICS, now back to GB. I have Samsung Electro Mechanics btw...
The problem was random and sometimes I was able to get over it by turning WiFi Direct on and off for a few times.

Hey there, i have Murata, i had the issue.. untill i switched to the latest siyah kernel (later then 3.0.1) since then the issue is gone, give it a try!

i have the murata chip, i am using lps and i was forced to move the router to wap only, in security settings of the router, in order to connect to the wireless network

i have murata, and i had that problem when I installed the second beta of ICS
and so far, no serious problems with wifi, nothing that a change of modem does not solve

The only thing i did with the Hydrogenics ROM, i disabled the 'Network notification' in Advanced (wifi)

unfortunately the modem is not related at all to the wifi functionality...
Wifi is handled by the kernel (library) and the rom (Drivers)...

[Q] 4.4.2 wi-fi issues

HI, I've got constant wi-fi issues on ma nexus 4 4.4.2. It certainly isn't the hardware, I got a replacement and the problem persists, which annoyed me cos all my photos cos messed up in order . anyway my wi-fi always disconnects and doesn't connect, this keeps on happening. im on a dual band router. is this only on 4.4.2? this problem only started happening in the last month or so. as far as i know it doesnt happen with other networks but when my wi-fi on my nexus drops, it doesn't drop with any thing else in the house. thank you
p.s. - i have a feeling it may be to do with something about the dual band. also the problem doesn't persist on my iphones, does this happen for you too?
was on paranoid android 4.2 beta with matr1x now on complete stock though

In your phone's Wifi settings, select either 5.0 Ghz or 2.4 Ghz and see if it helps. Also, try to search for Wifi fix by Kalo in the Development Thread and then flash it in recovery.

Nexus 6P consistent network drop

Hello everyone!
I am having a very hard time diagnosing an issue with my Nexus 6P. Android 7.1.1 Angler-03.78 Build: N4F26T on AT&T unlocked. My network keeps dropping consistently. It works fine for about 5-7 minutes after a reboot or after toggling Airplane Mode. It goes on to attach itself to LTE and then subsequently drops to HSDPA/3G and then just outright loses network. It intermittently then comes back but usually hangs on to HSDPA/3G and the voice quality and data speed are just terrible.
I tried the SIM in my old Galaxy nexus (which doesn't support LTE unfortunately) and the network didn't drop. So I am convinced something is going on with the phone. This issue crept up this last Monday (03/26) and has been going on ever since. Has anyone had similar issues? If not, could anyone tell me how to diagnose this issue before I have to send it to Huawei? Because I am not very keen on sending away the only proper handset I have.
Thanks

I had a similar problem on Cricket, which uses AT&T's network. I never had good cell coverage in my apartment but it suddenly got so bad that I could only make and receive calls in certain rooms. Cricket wasn't able to diagnose the issue and I ended up switching my service to Project Fi. The problem completely went away. I now have a strong cell signal with full bars everywhere in my apartment. I'm not sure that sending your phone back to Huawei will actually solve anything but good luck.

Oh, I can't switch from my carrier. And this particular issue just started occurring this week. I have been reading a few threads with different radio versions. I wonder if that will help.

This is a known issue just this month I experienced it myself, Try flashing different radios I was on 03.78 and had signal drop issues 03.72 and 03.75 have had the best results.

I flashed radio 3.7.5 and it did zip for me. I was on Sprint where I never had any problems and switched to AT&T when I got the 6P and never got more than half the bars strength when the service was actually working. After I switched to Project Fi I am usually on the T-Mobile network and get full bar strength 100% of the time at home. If I use Signal Spy to manually switch to Sprint I still get full bar strength in every room in my apartment. This is with the exact same radio that I had problems with on AT&T. I don't know if the 6P doesn't play nice with certain networks or if those networks provide inferior coverage but Verizon users have had notorious problems with this phone that caused Google to issue a separate radio just for them. Verizon customers are the ones who claimed to benefit from flashing radio 3.7.5. I have never heard of that actually helping anyone else and it definitely didn't help me. If the problem is partly with your network then sending the phone back to Huawei won't make any difference. You can try flashing a different radio but in the end you might have to switch carriers and if you can't do that you might need to switch to a phone that your carrier actually recommends.

It's strange because this happened just this week. It was fine before this week. Everything worked, I got proper signal strength and the connection never dropped. Now on my commutes I can see there is no network when I am driving, no maps, no spotify nothing.

Okay, I guess that's what I am doing today. I haven't modded my phone in any way, I am still on stock android. I am going to have to start by unlocking bootloader and flashing TWRP.

Good luck. I was in the same boat. It just stopped working but there was no Rom update that could have caused a problem.

Where do I find the old versions? This thread doesn't have the old versions anymore. 03.79 doesn't resolve the issue.
EDIT: I used 03.75 and that doesn't do it either. Time to try 03.72. I am so disheartened.

Why not go to AT&T first, let them know about your issue and have them provision a new SIM for your phone (free). I seriously doubt a different radio is going to solve your problem, but if you want to try there is a dedicated thread in General for flashable bootloader/radio zips, but you would be better served installing ADB/Fastboot on your PC and using fastboot to flash them yourself. The latest radio is 03.81 (from 7.1.2) The stock image files on Google contain the radio and bootloader img files. If the new SIM doesn't fix it, you may end up backing up your data and doing a factory reset.

Okay the latest factory ROM didn't work, I did a complete wipe and a factory reset. I will go to AT&T tomorrow and see if a new sim helps (I doubt it because this SIM works fine in my backup phone Galaxy Nexus but I can't verify LTE with that).
I don't know what my options will be after this. I feel like I am spending more time maintaining my phone instead of using it. Just disappointed, that's all.

Yeah, I found it. Thank you. None of the versions helped though

I've been experiencing signal problems when downgrading which is not your case. But I got it solved by performing a factory reset. It's fairly straightforward once you have backed up your data. Worth a try?

Similar problem here I think I have found part of the problem
I have been having a similar problem ever since a recent update. I have tried everything found in this post. Recently I tried turning off my wifi and noticed the problem seems to go away. I have done a few searches to see if anyone has reported no phone with wifi on, none of the results so far have been very helpful.
Since I don't want to be without wifi, I have gone into the developer options and turned on cellular data always active, to see if this helps, so far this is working for me.

I did try that but it didn't work unfortunately. I called up Google and they sent me a refurb which was DOA but then later they sent me a new one which works just fine. So it was definitely a hardware issue on my old phone. I don't plan on updating my software because I just want this phone to work like a phone.

It happened either way. Wifi status didn't affect my issue. It used to die out completely. Google just sent me a new replacement (after a DOA refurb) and it seems to be holding. But I am not upgrading to 7.1.1 because I feel the issue might crop up again. So I am going to stick to 6.0 for now.

Update on my status
So far having wifi off has worked, until I ran Waze and then both GPS and Networking down till I quit and turned Airplane mode on and off. The previous change to Developer setting did not work.
I have been debating going back down to 6.*, has anyone had good results with this?
