My sister just got a HTC Legend as her birthday present. We have been playing around with the device and tuning it to her liking.
We have run into a problem with the wifi. The phone will only connect to the wifi after rebooting the modem and after a short while it disconnects and won't reconnect no matter what. The wifi just stays disconnected in the settings.
The router uses WPA2.
Already read somewhere that it's a bug in the kernel, if so where can I get a fixed kernel and how do I install it? Any other fixes?
Thanks ~Tuukka
Is anyone else having trouble with their WiFi dropping out all the time? My phone keeps dropping WiFi, dropping back to 3G. I have to keep going to settings and telling it to reconnect.
I have a Linksys WRT54GL running Tomato firmware. Most things can connect to it just fine, but my Dell Laptop from work gives me a BSOD when I try to connect it wirelessly.
Thoughts?
I think I figured it out. I upgraded my Tomato firmware on the router, and WiFi seems to be working much better.

Please post back if it acts up again. My wifi has stopped working a few times and I had to manually reset it. My problem was compounded because 3g seemed to be active but webpages would timeout and sync would fail. Really annoying.
no problems with my wifi but I turn off network data. Maybe that helps?

I have the same issue. My wi-fi goes down and keeps looping through "obtaining an IP address". Killed my battery last night trying to connect to wi-fi. I can't get it coinnected again until I reset my router. weird?
I don't know if I would classify it as constant, but the University wireless network disconnects after some period of inactivity. I'm not certain if it is due to the phone or the network.

It seems like it is still doing it, but I'm wondering if what it is actually doing now is disconnecting after a period of disuse, then reconnecting.
It seems like if I don't see the WiFi symbol, and I select Mail or the Browser, it will re-appear.
I have similar issues with WIFI. It seems having a hard time connecting or even seeing the signal at times, but other times it's fine. I have WIFI at home and at work, and many places I am so I use it all the time, and all of them I have set up (I'm a sys admin).
I have WiFi analizer loaded and at times it won't even see my netowrks when my laptop is already connected. If I reboot the phone it seems to fix it after a min or so. Sometimes turning WiFi off and on helps but not always.
It's really inconsistant... I'll go a few days with no problems, then it will have problems for a day or so. Open or encrypted don't seem to make a differance.

Tomato firmware, that sounds cute.

Issue 1040: wifi does not timeout on idle
Issue that was in an earlier version of Android, and is back in 2.1.
When the phone sleeps, it turns off WiFi. Then, it won't turn it back on properly until you go to settings or sometimes WiFi settings. Then it just pops on automatically.
Yup, I got this problem too and its very annoying.
It usually happens when the phone has been sleeping for an extended period of time. Sometimes wifi disconnects and will not reconnect even when I'm in the middle of browsing the web.
i had this issue as well.... i went to settings/wireless and networks/wifi settings....then hit menu/advanced/wifi sleep policy.... i selected nver and haven't had a problem since
Problem is, "never" is already selected and issue still persists.
I had set it to 15 minutes to see if it fixed the problem, because I was having it when it was set to never. I'm setting it to never now to see if
the GUI just wasn't displaying the value that was set.

Hey guys,
I`m facing a problem of my HD2 with wifi. I`m using ultimate droid 3.3 rom, and when I connect to router, after some time it disconnects, and after few seconds it reconnects again. It does not matter if you are close to wifi source or far, the wifi logo in top of the screen disappear, after few seconds it appear and connects again.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Every so often my WiFi won't connect to my home router. Seems to happen after i leave for some time then come back home. I can see the network but cannot connect or turn off the WiFi. The only way for me to fix it short of a reboot is to turn on airplane mode turn off WiFi then turn off airplane nice. Anyone else experience this? Otherwise the phone had been perfect.Stock non rooted.
There is already a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3247645

Those issues are not the same. This thread is not qn issue of automatic connection, it is that the wifi cannot connect or be disabled because something is wrong with Marshmallow.
Dear all,
I'm experiencing a somewhat weird issue with my Xiaomi Mi A1 (Oreo) which started a couple of months ago.
My WiFi keeps switching on an off.
* When I turn off WiFi, 4G comes up. After a few seconds (I can leave the phone unlocked at the desk, it almost happens instantaneously) Wifi turns on by itself and connects (just as if I switched it on manually).
* When I activate the mobile Hotspot, it switches off after a few seconds, disconnecting all devices connected, only to switch on the regular Wifi after a few seconds and trying to connect to the next network.
* In random cases, Wifi just switches off despite being connected to a working network and while I'm using it.
This is somewhat annoying, and I didn't find any solutions online. Any ideas? Any more information you need (sorry, I'm new here)?
EDIT: This is not the "Turn on Wifi automatically" setting, and it is also not related to location services.
Flash stock rom, sounds like a software bug. Otherwise, return it while you still can.
Thanks.
