Internet problem

Hello fellow 2x owners.
Im experiencing the following weird problem:
After using the phone for about 24 hours suddenly my internet stops working. It still has the 3g icon but not the up and down arrows.
Setting are correct, entering new settings doesnt change a thing. Rebooting, turning data on and off, roaming.. nothing seems to work.
The only way to restore it is going back to factory defaults.
Ive done that 2 times already but the problem seems to return every single time again after a while (say 24 hours).
Do you guys have any idea what might cause it? Im using the phone for about 10 days now and its really getting annoying. Comming from a HTC Desire with the same simcard where I never experienced this problem before.
Cheers!

Had the same experience today with a "brand new" VIP changed phone. While in the train from Amersfoort to Apeldoorn I lost connection, checked the APN, did resets, flight mode etc. Eventually it worked when I rebooted while in flight mode, then turn connection back on after reboot... Hope this won't happen more often, as my previous sample (bought on 10 march) didn't show any of this.
Only difference is this one's rooted from day 1.

Hi, does the wifi work? Or... IMs, Tweets, & RSS updates? If there is an issue w/ your phone, you'll want to be clear when speaking to an CS agent. Good Luck!

I ended up finding the problem. Every setting and such was correct, but there was a faulty widget toggle that was preventing data. ended up reinstalling it and the problem was fixed!

Having the same problem
Can't get it to work regardless of how many reboots and toggles. It works after I do a factory reset, but as soon as I have used the wifi, it simply refuses to go back to mobile data once i turn the wifi off.
Really frustrating.

I tried using apndroid to disable/enable the access point. This worked really well, and I got back data connectivity. What's really weird is that the problem hasn't returned yet. I can switch between wifi/3g all I want. I don't really know what the problem was since my sim card (tdc) worked well in other phones, and other sim cards (Telia) worked well in the optimus....

Data Drop/Mobile Network Issues

Well, this has been happening for about two days now. My mobile network will drop out and I have to toggle airplane mode to get it back - only to have it drop about 5 minutes later. It's getting really annoying. I am rooted, but that is it. Nothing is frozen or removed.
Anyone else having this issue? I'm wondering if it's Verizon in my area. I'm going to SBF (FTZ) later tonight to see if it fixes it.
Thanks.
EDIT: Not Verizon. Other work peeps who have Verizon have perfect service.

Does anybody know the *228 way of activating a SIM based phone? I'm guessing it has to do with flashing the radio FTZ file via RSDlite.
Also bumping this. Data seems to drop whenever the screen shuts off. I have zero applications installed that would do this - plus I checked my battery and data settings.

I noticed this also. Sometimes it just drops out and airplane mode will get it to jump back on data. I also have a Thunderbolt which doesn't have this issue so it not a problem with service/towers. I had this issue on the earlier builds of gingerbread Roms for the OG Droid but I'm not sure how the Dev's addressed it. In time I'm sure it will get worked out. There is no way of reactivating 4G LTE phones as they "reactivate" every time you reboot the phone. *228 is strictly for 3G phones as you most likely already know but the only similar solution is a reboot.

Yep, know that about the *228. Probably going to FTZ tonight - the full one. Hopefully this fixes it. I'll report back.

This might fall into one of Verizon's list of known bugs for the bionic at release.
"Subcategory: 4G/3G Service - Data Connectivity *Marginal 4G to 3G transition: Loss of data connectivity - The device may display 3G service indication but no data connections are possible. Short term work around: The user will need to power cycle the device or enable/disable Airplane Mode. Planned Resolution: A fix for this issue is under review and will be included in the first post launch maintenance release software for this device. The tentative release date is early November 2011."

Sadly this is a known issue and was told this by a verizon engineer AFTER buying the phone. Data drops and data loses will be part of the ota that is suppose to be released eventually, couldn't give me an eta though. Personally I have had the issue when switching from 3g to 4g, example would be driving to work. Sometimes you need to simply turnoff then on the radio (easiest to use airplane mode widget) to get it to reconnect but in some extreme cases a complete factory reset/wipe is needed. That is what happened in my case. If I would have known that this was going to be the case I probably would have gotten the Dinc2 but oh-well, refuse to pay restocking fee.

This happens all the time for me, usually when I first wake up or when I've been on WiFi for a while with data off. I've gotten around this issue (reliably and without powering down or airplane mode toggling 20 times) by:
1) Disabling Juice Defender (temporarily) so that my data will run even with WiFi 2) Ensuring that data is enabled (in Settings)
3) Dialing *#*#4636#*#*
4) Opening "Phone", then tapping "Turn off Radio" at the bottom of the page
5) Tapping "Turn on Radio" again
6) Hitting Back or Home to get back to your home screen
In just a moment, when the radio comes back up, you should find Mobile Data re-enabled. I know Airplane mode should do the same thing, but I've found this more reliable and quicker.
Edit: Turns out that I was using a bad airplane mode widget. When I started using Widgetsoid, Airplane mode worked fine, no need for debug mode. Ignore the above

I read on another forum that it depends on the phone, so I took mine back to Verizon after multiple episodes of losing data until I restarted the phone. They were reluctant to exchange it and said there was a 90% chance that I'd still lose data due to switching between 3g/4g. The rep said that all of their 4g phones did it. I stuck to my guns and got a replacement. A week later I haven't lost data once. Maybe I've just gotten lucky, maybe it's just coincidence, but my experience certainly seems to back up the conclusion that not all Bionics have the problem.

I actually heard that and did the same thing as well and after receiving the new phone all was great for about 3 days then I had a total loss of data, no 3g or 4g and no way to get it back.. That's when I was told to perform a factory reset. Only way to fix it. So I said screw it and rooted my phone and now keep nandroid backups. I hope you have better luck then me... Cross those fingers.

Easier way is simply toggling airplane mode instead of going into debug

Yeah, I realized that the widget I was using wasn't really toggling it. Switching to Widgetsoid made airplane mode work like a charm. Thanks for inspiring me to follow up a bit

Bionic 3g/4g is not working (DROP) "FIX"
After searching around a few days for solution n test many apk and many many methods... Finally found the fix.
Just download "BionicTCP" from market (Play Store) (REQUIRES ROOT), and click on "Large TCP Buffers". It makes my Bionic xt875 3G/4G NO DROP AT ALL.
*BionicTCP : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spirilis.bionictcp
or directly from : http://spirilis.net/junk/android/BionicTCP.apk

good ideas.

Wow i wish i would of found this ages ago... works great, better signal no drops so far... ill update after a week or so...

Does this solve or do anything for 4g network performance and drops?

[Q] Any suggestions on this wifi issue?

This has been going on for about a month but I finally decided to try to fix it.
It started with my phone seeing my home network. It says "remembered" but it gets stuck in an endless loop of "Connecting, disconnected." It cycles so fast between the two that if you blink you'll miss it.
Things I tried:
-Forgetting the Network(doing this made the problem even worse, I'll explain later)
-Power Cycling everything
-Fxr and other wifi utilities on the market
-Battery pulls
-Factory reset
Since I did the forget network option the network at my home no longer shows up, along any other network I'm around, open or not. It just scans and never finds anything. I can be standing right next to the router and the phone doesn't know it's there.
So my next steps were these:
-Rooted phone
-Deleted bcm_supp.conf in the wifi folder with the wifi off. Didn't change anything.
Got some results when I deleted bcm_supp.conf with the wifi turned on, cleared phone cache, turned wifi off and then turned it back on. At that point the phone could finally see my network again but I was back to the connecting, disconnected problem I started with. That's the only way I can get it to see networks but it still won't connect.
I've all but given up and hoping someone has other suggestions.

U could try flashing a different modem.
What is ur phone set up right now?

Right now everything that I have is stock. 2.2. Only thing I've done is rooted so far in attempts to have more control of getting this fixed and try a few of the fixes i read about from google searches.
I'm admittedly a noob at the higher levels of phone tinkering but I'm not opposed to it obviously, so I'll look up info on flashing a different modem. Thanks.

I had the same problem until I updated to a custom ROM. I went to Pheonix' ROM but it also works on Team Hacksung's Build9.

[Q] wifi problem

Hi there, I have the exact same situation, I tried everything, master resets, downgrades of spls and custom roms, and different radios. All didnt work. I asked the same question and no one replied, may mean there is no known solution. I also scoured the web for a whole week, reading almost everything about this issue and trying whatever was suggested to no avail. Now I am selling my HD7 with "the wifi and bluetooth doesnt work".

thanks for the reply and sorry to hear your phone is in the same boat as mine.
Mine seems to be getting worse, slowly affecting other functions of the phone. ive lost count of the hard resets i've done now. somethimes settings wont open, apps dont always open. got to pull the battery to shut the phone off as the screen dulls down if i leave it but it doesnt time off. and the power button sometimes works and sometimes don't.
think unless someone turns up with a magic nswer soon, i'll need to order new phone too. shame coz i really like the hd7

I am having the same problem. Wifi worked fine since I bought the phone on 11/2010, but stopped working last night. When I went to power the phone off, I had to remove the battery because it was stuck on the "Goodbye" screen (the first time this has happened).

Same problem, what can we do?

Exactly the same problem. I've flashed and reflashed, tried all radios from 5.51, 5.52, 5.69 to 5.71.
After a reset the wifi works once or twice then doesn't work anymore :crying:
Must be the module within the phone. I see the middle housing has two connectors for WiFi and GPS, perhaps the WiFi connector doesn't work but it looks like this little thing is only an antenna, not a module.
The part I meen is a "sticker" that's on the same piece of plastic as the kickstand.
Should i replace the entire inner part or would the antenna be enough?

Help: WiFi/Bluetooth Problem
Hi, I suggest you change the title to 'WiFi/Bluetooth Problem' as I also have the same problem. It does not detect either of the two WiFi protocols (WPA2 & WEP) as I tried both with my router (laptops and androids get them both perfect).
Bluetooth on the other hand, does not pair with ANY device. Brings 'Tap to pair' prompt', then the Error 'Not Supported'. I'm running Dynamics v2.0 - Newer WP7.8 custom ROM, but this was the same even with factory ROM.

So are there any developments regarding the problems here? I still got it, no Wi-Fi, no BT...

I have a problem with my WiFi too. everything was ok since I had my HD7 two years ago, and I started to flash many custom roms a year ago with no problems at all. but one month ago my WiFi stopped working without any obvious reason, my phone was connected to wifi and I put it on the table then I picked it up.... no WiFi at all and no internet sharing also. I can turn on or off the green switch of the wifi but only just for fun! and the Wifi icon which usually pops down from the top of my phone will never appear.
I tried to flash new or old roms, many many hard resets with no luck. Also opened my phone to check if there is a hardwear problem but seems not.
Now I'm using cellular for the internet untill I can buy a new phone and break this one.

Ik must be built in or so. Every flash I do, two reboots later, Wi-Fi breaks.
They just want us to get new phones :/
EDIT
I've also installed two different, brand new, SD-card (1 class 2 and 1 class 10) but this gives the same problem.
On a side note, the class 10 is way, way faster
/EDIT

Same here
The WiFi just stopped working out of the blue and nothing i've done has restarted it. It must be something with WP7 because now the wifi icon no longer appears and the Internet sharing option is blank.

Wifi losing connectivity when in Sleep Mode.

It's my only gripe with the HTC One.... When the phone's connected to my router, it flies!!
But... if I put the screen off and put it in my pocket for a while, then get it back out to do something else requiring net access...WiFi's switched off (and yes, it IS set to 'always on' in the WiFi sleep policy btw...) and I have to wait until it re-connects to the router again (which seems to take ages if you're waiting...)
I've been doing some Googling on this and it's quite common with HTC phones apparently....not everyone has it obviously, but I've found no real helpful cure yet if you DO have the problem.
I was thinking of rooting and installing a custom ROM to see if they're any better for me, but the last I knew, if you're rooted, you can't get Sky Go, and it's something I use a LOT, so that's put the blocks on that idea
Any suggestions?

There is two options. One in the power saver and one in the power menu in settings that disable data when the screen is off including wifi. Turn those off.

I hope this helps when I'm at work. I work at a hospital and having my connection to WiFi helps when I walk through areas with no singal I can then switch to WiFi calling. My phone unlike my galaxy s3 always disconnects from the secure guest services. My sgs3 hardly ever did that unless I didn't use it all night. I have to constantly re sign in every time my phone is taken out of my pocket.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Nope. Unticking BOTH options hasn't made a difference. Still having to wait for the phone to re-establish itself with the router after periods of inactivity....

I'm having this issue too has anyone found a permanent solution to the problem?

I've found after updating OTA to 4.2.2 today, the problem now seems to have gone....hopefully (might just've been lucky so far...dunno really yet!)
Have you updated too yet?

I am still on 4.1.2 and I'm in the US so we don't have the update yet.

This was one of the first things I noticed after connecting my HTC One (Sprint US) to my home Wi-Fi. It would hold the signal for a bit, maybe a few minutes, and then it would either simply no longer transmit data or the Wi-Fi itself would turn off and back on, with the subsequent connection never establishing a usable data link. Oddly enough, I got my wife an HTC One at the same time (subsidized upgrade for contract renewal), and hers appeared to be working fine, so I was concerned that I had a faulty device. Also, our previous devices (Moto Photons...) worked fine with the Wi-Fi at home as well.
After trying a myriad of settings changes, I found that only one thing worked reliably well: toggling the Wi-Fi off and then back on always resulted in a successful re-establishing of good data throughput to the router and back to the device. I decided to try and see how it performed on other Wi-Fi networks.
I took the device to my place of employment and without fail, the device stayed connected to the Wi-Fi there for the entire 8-10 hours, which only seemed to confirm that there was an issue with my home connectivity with my device only. As annoying as it may be, I am reduced to toggling the Wi-Fi off and back on when I use the phone at home, and I will remain optimistic that this 4.2.2 update fixes my problem, and if not, then I've done enough tinkering with the router at home as well as the phone to be satisfied I tried everything within my power to remedy the situation.
