Can you be a little bit more specific? Have you ever been able to connect to wifi stations anyway?

are you sure that your router wifi is enabled? and broadcasting the ssid?

Sorry its a home adhoc wifi
but finally i got it working

Wifi issues

So I'm having Wifi Connection issues on my Mile stone. I'm running the Lastest STABLE version from Miui.us. Problem is I can connect but within a min or two of connection it looses connection and says wifi out of range even if Im standing right next to it. If I forget the connection and restart my router it will find it and connect again and do the same thing. I've tried my cousins Samsung Vibrant on my wireless router and he doesn't have any issues so I know its not the router itself. Any Idea's on how to fix this guys?

I've had some success with changing the wifi sleep policy in the advanced tab of the WiFi settings.

Yeah, 1.9.9 is a beta development build, but he's just remarking how stable it really is.
Hi, I have the same problem with WIFI, I cahanged the slep policy, and when I activate Wifi it's starting scanning for nothing, no wifi Network appears and when I can connect, after a whie it's disconnecting itself and doesn't reconnect. Somebody knows the problem?..I'm using MIUI android v1.9.9
I'm not sure, I updated to 1.9.16 and I'm having some issues with mine but not as bad. The weird thing is wifi won't work if the mobile data network is enable, when i turn that off my wifi will connect but if i get even like 10 feet away from the router it starts having connection issues and sometimes when im right next to it. But no where as bad as it was before.

[Q] CM10 WiFi Direct?

I've noticed that in the nightly builds of CM10 that there is a placeholder menu for WiFi Direct under WiFi settings. Is the i9000 actually getting WiFi Direct support in the future or is it just a left over menu option from the CM10 source trunk?

interesting i never noticed it. what is WiFi direct?

Imagine bluetooth except using the WiFi radio as an ad-hoc connection, MUCH faster and probably longer range etc
wow, so old "aging" phone actually supports it :fingers-crossed: i also wonder the same thing since CM9!
the sgs was the first mobile to be certified for wifi direct. but we never had the chance to enjoy this option

You could use Fast File Transfer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floriandraschbacher.fastfiletransfer
It offers similar speeds, works on the SGS1 and is free.
Hope this helps.

[Q] Anyone else having WiFi issues with their HTC One?

Hey guys,
So I just got my brand-spanking new HTC One today. I upgraded from the Evo LTE, and I already love it.
But there's one thing that has been really frustrating to me for the few hours I've owned this phone... It has major WiFi issues.
My One can see the WiFi network, can connect to it, but wont give an internet connection! It's so frustrating!
My Evo LTE, being connected to the same WiFi network, connects to the internet with no problem at all.
A temporary fix is to turn off the WiFi radio, then turn it back on. As a result, I would connect to the internet for a minute or so, then it would disconnect from the internet (it's still connected to my WiFi network, and it recognizes it, and it gives no messages about the connection suggesting that something is wrong with my router/connection).
I changed the frequency bands, but they all have the same issue. I have enabled "Best Wi-Fi performance" and "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep."
I've also reseted my router numerous times... No luck.
Is anyone else having this issue, or did I just get a lemon? Can anyone think of a possible solution?
Thanks!
no issues here with my one and my netgear r6300 ac router.
Wi-Fi has been fantastic for me on my one. My evo LTE if you remember had the issue of wi-fi just shutting off after the phone was asleep. That was fixed in an update but even after that was fixed my evoLTE would show it's connected but data would not work. So I would have to toggle it on & off. I also had an issue with my sense widget not working and getting stuck. I was really starting to dislike the evoLTE because of it since your notifications quit working if your wi-fi was not connected correctly. I put up with crappy wi-fi for almost a year, mainly because I knew if I took it into Sprint they would say everything works perfect I just didn't wanna deal with. I know it's extremely frustrating to not have your wi-fi work correctly. My advice see if you can get a hold of another HTC one to test side by side. If it's a hardware issue you should get it swapped. You could also try hard resetting. I use a a WRT54GL with tomato at home and a Asus N66U at work, both have performed awesome with my one.
I have _exactly_ the same issue with my One. I have no idea if it's a software or a hardware problem. Tried a hard reset just yet, but it didn't seem to make a difference.
Really frustrating indeed, since the One is not very good available in the Netherlands yet, so if I return it, I might have to wait a few weeks to get a new one. I've tried it with at least 6 completely different WiFi networks, but the problem occurs with every one of them.
Only issue I have had with the WiFi thus far is it doesn't seem to have the pickup up range compared to my other phones and tablets.
WiFi on mine is insanely crazy! Picks up signal way better than any other device I've ever owned. Might be the kernel I'm running. Try it out! Look in the original dev thread.

I've noticed this as well. Areas in my office where I could get a decent wifi signal with my 3D I am dropping wifi completely with the One.
Router brand/model? Firmware version? WEP/WPA/Open? 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz or dual band? Channel (more relevant on 2.4 than 5)?
Does your phone get a valid IP? Check on the phone itself then the router under DHCP (assuming normal configuration, IP should begin 192.168.*.*)
Can you ping any internal node (ie your router) or external node (ie google.com or the IP to google)?
If your router has WEP/WPA enabled, switch it to Open solely for testing the connection.

Had the exact same problem. Only thing that fixed it was switching my router encryption from WPA to WEP. Works like a charm now. Best of luck.

Same problem and my solution
I had the same problem. Finally I tried to reset the phone without putting all my google-account info back. Then the wifi works fine. After that a Added my google-account and can enjoy my new HTC one. The phone is really good!
Note that in this way I didn't get all my setting back from my google account (like access points), but at it is working!

What should i look after?
I found the problem. Turns out i was connected to my 5ghz wifi instead of the 2.4ghz. I only lost 1% during the hour now on the 2.4.

May I know how do you set your phone to connect only on 2.4Ghz?
On my old phone (Nexus 5X) in Marshmallow (not Nougat) I could disable 5Ghz on the phone. I can't find this in my P9, Marshmallow C636B180

Hi. I did it on my router. I got both 5Ghz and 2.4 on it so i can chose which one to connect to. Didnt do it on my phone. Maybe you have these options on your router too?

Ah....you had my heart aflutter for just a moment. Unfortunately my issue is with work wifi, set by corporate IT.
Due to the multiple hotspots @ 5Ghz @ same SSID it just drives the phone crazy. This is especially worse when you have wifi based location switched on.

Sorry man
I can feel your pain. But its really weird that the 5Ghz is such a battery drainer? I just dont understand that. I read something about the similar problems you experiencing at work. If im not mistaked the solution was to set up some kind of wifi hotspot. Cant seem to find the website again tho.

Sony RX100 ii connectivity

Hi anyone have experience with connecting the n8 to this camera? Using the sony memories software it tries to connect but disconnects immediately. Any ideas folks.
I have an A5000 but i believe the method should be same.
When using wifi transfer i set it to wifi direct rather than through a router/access point (never had any success with using wifi router), when connecting directly to the camera the phone will complain about no internet access, make sure you pull the drop down and select stay connected anyways (otherwise the note may drop the connection so i can reconnect to your router that does have internet connection)
Found the solution I had to disable mobile data. Only found this out this by checking whether it worked on my tab s3 and it did so was a matter of deduction. Thx
