[Q] Who has wifi connection problems? Pol!

As a measurement for the percentage of people that have wifi connection issues with the Ideos X5. Vote; do you have a wifi connection problem?

I believe it depends what ROM you're running, I know B133 had a tonne of problems, Im on B137 and its fantastic.

Could you tell me how to update to B137? i might buy this phone, but i would like to know how to solve the wifi problem by updating to B137

Read the ultimate guide at Modaco, covers pretty much everything:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...om/341011/ultimate-guide-to-the-huawei-u8800/
Here is the B137 ROM:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...rom-for-the-huawei-u8800-with-online-kitchen/

I'm using B135 and i dont have wifi problems so far.

im using B136SP02 and i got lots of problems

I'm basically a noob in smartphones, but B136 is a custom ROM? because i believe you lose your warranty if you put a custom rom on your phone right? or is B136 an update from Huawei?

B136 is an official update

Wireless Speed
I've found that after the recent upgrade my wireless is *way* better.
The only problem I'm having is speed, I've run a speed test on my X5 compared to someone elses IDEOS U8150 (the smaller brother of the X5) from the same location and my wifi speed was less than half theirs.
I haven't had a chance to test this on another wifi access point yet, so it could be my particular wifi setup.

Yeah I havn't noticed any problems with the 137 (you can install the stock 137 without rooting it). But still the speed isn't great, tops out at 2,5Mbit/s (average 1Mbit/s up/down) near the router while a laptop gets a solid 16Mbit/s.

i have too wifi problems

Maybe the phone is the problem and not a specific version.. I've had wifi problems on all rom's (official or unofficial).. or it could be certain wifi encryption methods (WEP, WPA2), etc..
I Have WPA2 (AES) encryption

Spotty Internet connection since official gingerbread

Has anyone else had Internet connection issues since the ota?? I'll show full signal, but none of my Apps that use Internet will work nor will my browser.
Any fixes you can think of???

What radio do you have? (Settings, about phone, baseband version).
The following appears to be good:
N_01.77.30P
Quick search should find it for you if you are still on 15P.

That's the radio I'm on. Hmmmm... I guess no one else has this problem.

Yea, I have the problem, I think I've seen others with the problem too. The bars turn grey for me, and my internet still works but the market won't, anyways, I never had this problem off Gingerbread...

Having the exact same problem. So annoying!

i have the same problem... nmy apps report an internet conncection but doesnt download everything.
this seems like a packet loss problem to me but I'm not 100%
i can have full bars on both 3g or hspa or be on wifi and same problem
can anyone check to see if there is some sort of packet handling issue

Same issue here. What's worse is that the phone indicates everything is fine, until you actually try to retrieve some data.
I've found that cycling Airplane mode for about 30sec usually fixes this. I just added the Airplane Mode widget for now. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.

anyone have battery issues as well
i have also noticed another big issue....the batter stats is never correct....so lets say you have 15 percent battery left....reboot your phone and upon unlocking your phone your phone says that you have 50% battery left. or you use the internet or call for a bit and after 30 minutes your phone still says it has 100% battery left

pettion for upgrade to the new atrix 4g coming out soon. it is said to be a rumor that there is a new atrix coming but i spoke to a support rep at att and they said that there will be a new atrix coming soon that was an hour ago
http://www.bgr.com/2011/07/28/new-att-motorola-atrix-spotted-with-8-megapixel-camera/

I had the problem just before the update, but the connection was still buggy. Then I put the samcripp rom ninja 0.4 and now it s perfect like never before. maybe it has nothing to do with that it s what happened.
Bye

Do you have the newest Market version on your phone? I was having that exact same problem. I CWM'd the older version of the Market and poof, no more problems. Might be a place to start.

Check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188740
If you have the latest Android Market installed, it seems that it's affecting connectivity. Some have reverted to the older Market and confirmed that the issues went away.

I am still on baseband .15 and the new market works fine.
I guess I'll wait for confirmation before I update my baseband to .30... It's really too bad because I am having random data drops with .15.

the new baseband improved my connection

I really dislike how the Nexus 4 can't do simple things well

Such as staying connected to my WiFi, or my cellular data connection, or being able to reliably turn Bluetooth on and off. Seriously, these are the things that should just work. On every other phone I've ever owned I've never had a problem with any of these things, let alone all three.
Overall I like the N4 and the positives outweigh the negatives and I plan to keep it for quite a while. But I sure hope these basic things will be corrected in an update soon.

I can help you with that. There is a app that will make you life very easy, it's called "power toggles"
Download it, try out this widget and then thank me later. Hope it helps!

I have never suffered this wifi issue, i don`t think it is caused by the phone but by the router. My wifi connections are rock steady and i never loose connections.

I hate when ppl think their problems are affecting the world. I have 0 of the issues you report.
I use wifi and bluetooth all day every day. Nothing wrong with it at all.
Do a search, you'll find your boat is awfully empty. You need to look at your wireless set up and your bluetooth device is prolly junk.

Agreed. Try a factory reset on both phone and router. Also if it's a netgear router I've heard bad things.

Can you be more specific on how/when you get these errors? I'm not experiencing any of these problems on my Nexus 4 and I use both WiFi and Bluetooth regularly.

We can help you, but you gotta provide more info.
Rooted? Stock?
If so, ROM/kernel?
Also, what errors are you exactly getting? Or you can provide a logcat.
This has been the absolute best and fastest device I've ever owned or played with. Makes me sad when ppl aren't experiencing the same thing I am. So hopefully we can help you.

None of the problems you are having.
Seemed like phone was having issues staying connected to network, but it cleared up, so I'm guessing it was T-Mobile's issue.
Also, with Franco kernel and custom color settings and volume boost, this phone is near perfect.

I'm having the exact same issues. When attempting to browse the play store I constantly get the " cannot connect to the play store" and I have to hot retry several times before I can continue. This happens every 10 minutes or so and it's driving me crazy. Also when skiing any type of downloading on my Wi-Fi I get awful speeds. I'm talking an hour to download a podcast but it only taking my iPhone 5 approx 10 minutes to download the same podcast. Something is definitely wrong however I bought this phone from someone else so I can't RMA it so think I'm screwed.

You might want to try a different channel or something with your router if you are seeing disconnections a lot. Also is this happening on multiple wifi connections or just on your home one? With Bluetooth I don't really use it so cannot comment on it.

if u think the wifi's bad on the N4, you must have never owned a galaxy nexus. I'd sit a foot in front of my router and only get 2bars of WiFi with that phone:banghead:

For here the WiFi signal until it looks good on the phone, but no data transfer occurs. From what I've been reading this is happening to many people. I think google should be manifested.
If hardware problem until I change the router, but at least tell me what works. They are anxious to get the phone's SD reader to avoid confusion and leave this problem in WiFi. Just missing they release the next nexus without WiFi to avoid this kind of problem.

Yes i (and many others) have been facing signal drops (and mobile data obviously) since day one. I'm hoping a new baseband in 4.3 might solve this issue.

it could be a weak modem, but i'm keeping my hopes that it is software related

I noticed this only happens with certain roms even when I had my HTC One, it's one of the reasons I stay with CM more often than not is I never get drops with it

It happens in certain areas more than others, in some cities I get an incredible signal and can download to my satisfaction, in others I can't get more than 5mb downloaded before it slows and drops and I have to restart the download. Download managers with resume capability are a help.
