Updated to the new firmware via Kies. Looks like it didn't address problems with wifi and battery drain.

I've been trying for hours to update to the EE firmware through Lies on my Windows 7 laptop, but the program just closes down after the " downloading update components " window.
I've tried googling this issue and it seems I'm not the only one experiencing it, but none of the possible solutions I've tried have made any difference.
I would appreciate any suggestions or advice, but I'm starting to consider the Odin method, which I've had no experience of using whatsoever.
Help!
I updated as well.
What problems are you experiencing with wifi and battery drain?
If anything the media storage on my phone seems better than my i9300 and wifi seems fine, unless you are referring to tethering which I have not tried
Here is the list of problems with wifi:
1. Connection is intermittent despite the setting to always on
2. Wifi range is bad compared to other phones in the same place connected to the same router
3. Connection is very slow compared to other devices
4. Even if it connects to the router, there is no Internet at times and that's a big problem in itself
5. Trying to connect to public hot spots is a waste of time
Battery drain is faster (4% per hour at least) despite disabling bloatware and switching of Google's hidden settings like location update etc.
By the way performed hard resets several times but no luck. Maybe the unit itself is faulty.

I would have thought so.
I have good wifi signal and tethering works as well. So it may be a faulty unit.

I have the exact same problem but you try and convince Orange that the phone is faulty and all they will do is offer to repair it
Well, after two failed repair attempts I'm considering legal action

According to samsung after 3 failed attempts to fix the phone they will give you a new handset
Thanks for the advice, I didn`t know that. I`m off to my local Samsung repair centre today to see what they say. Over the phone they said that if they agree it is faulty then they will simply replace it.
Good stuff. I have had experience with my i9300 already which has been sent twice to samsung repair. It takes a while but at least you get the job done. I don't trust mobile line providers as all they give is 14 days and they are supposed to give 28 but hey. What can I say.
Battery drain.
Turn off:
wifi,data and bluetooth during the day and only turn on when required.
Updated to 4.1.2 earlier today, multi-window seems like a good feature, however not many apps are supported. At first I manually searched for the update from my phone but it said I already had the latest software installed, but when I opened it through Kies I got the update notification.
Yes me too. Although I have to hate kies as its slow and sometimes sticky. Ill be going through odin from now on

I just downgraded phone to 2.3.6 so I could wipe and OTA upgraded back to 4.0.4. Rooted w Mobile Odin Pro.
I am having a problem I haven't experienced before. Made a few phone calls since, and on multiple calls the phone will Beep once and then disconnect. I am not touching anything or doing anything. I am on ATT USA in CA. Anyone know what could be causing this?

I'm getting the same in UK under O2, have had it under many different roms. It will happen for the same number multiple times until I leave it a while and retry. I imagine it's a network issue, but if anyone has any other suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Same thing here!
I'm in Serbia and have the exact same problem. If I want to get out of that, usualy I have to restart the Note. Not very fancy.
Also when it gets in that state it does'nt receive cals or sms.
I did the same thing, from 4.03 to 2.36 - wipe, and then to 4.04
Probably a bug with the 4.04 modem?
Guess we could try flashing latest gb modems, see if that corrects it. There's a thread in development I think that has all modems listed.

Actually I have a problem with mine dropping WiFi all together. I know it is working because my husband's iPhone stays connected and it still works when mine has dropped. Lost 4 calls today because of that problem. Tried tinkering with the WiFi setting on the One between 2.5 ghz and 5 ghz and auto. Makes no difference. Connection lasts maybe 5 or 10 minutes then it disconnects. If you have a solution let me know.

Have you tried looking to see if your phone is actually saving the password? It is saved in the following location;
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Open this file up using a file explorer with root capabilities. Is your network SSID and password in there?

It is saving it because all I do to get it back on
Is turn off WiFi and turn it back in again. Then it works for five minutes or so. And I looked at the link that was provided above and made sure I had WiFi on always power saver off etc. See what it does tonight.

Sorry, my response was directed towards the OP. Should have made that clearer.
Sometimes dropped connections with android phones comes from having your router set to 'auto' for channel selection. If yours is this setting, try changing it to a fixed channel. Use the app Wi-Fi Analyzer to find a clear channel.

Well I contacted HTC, and I did the steps ad posted above and so far no problem. Of course it will probably happen after I post this knock on wood. Didn't have to do what HTC said below since it works now but will definitely do it if the problem persists. I also uninstalled a battery widget because one of the posts said to try that also.
We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the Wi-Fi connection on your HTC One and can certainly provide some assistance to help resolve the issue.
To start, we will need to check a setting on the device. From the Home screen, access Settings>Wi-Fi>Menu>Advanced. Make sure the DLNA Auto-IP is disabled. Also, I know you have also changed it prior but set the Wi-Fi frequency band to 2.4 GHz. We will need test the combination to see if there is any difference.
If needed, we will need to make sure there is not an issue with the phone trying to get through your network’s security. For this, we will first need to remove the network from the phone. Access Settings>Wi-Fi then tap and hold on the name of the network to select Forget Network. Once done, reboot the phone and temporarily remove the security from the network. It should be open with no password and the SSID being broadcast. This is only temporary so we can test the phone to see if the same thing continues with an unsecured network. Once this is tested, you can add the security back to the network.
We would also recommend testing the phone with other public networks to see if you still having issues with the connection.
Feel free to reply should you have any further questions, Christina. If you feel more comfortable discussing issues by phone, you can contact Technical Support at 1-866-449-8358, 8 am to 1 am ET, 7 days a week.

Having the same issue with the wifi. Connection is erratic even if I am in the same room as the router/superhub. I went to the store today and they tested it there as well. They uninstalled some power saving apps and it seemed to work ok but at home same issues. Loosing connection when surfing and if I leave the room no connection at all.
Will have to get back to the store tomorrow to get it replaced.

Yea man...I remember you...haha. The One is bringing a lot of good people over from what I've been seeing.
As far as using an international ROM, yes I am....was using Trickdroid, but now I'm trying out AndroidRevolution 8.0...same issue. Next time I flash another Rom, I'll try the international setting instead of the ATT setting. Wouldn't I have to change the APN if I did that, or does that setting adjust something else?

Nah I didn't have to change anything. I get average 15-25 meg lte speed. A lot of guys were having the WiFi passwords reset on boot with the att package checked in aroma. From what I've seen the only difference with international & att is the signal icons. I had to switch because WiFi tether wasn't working under att.

I sometimes have the same wifi problem. I think I have to wait untill there is a software fix.
UPDATE: I bought a new router (<with wifi support 2G and 5G) and all my problems are solved.
Ok, so have noticed this using the speedtest.net app.
When the phone is brought out of stand by / sleep, my download speed is 3 meg,which is slow , if I turn Wi-Fi off and back on, and redo speed test, I get my full speed of 60-70 meg.
I have tested to see if turning the power savers off make a difference,and have checked that keep Wi-Fi on during sleep is on. Nothing seems to make a difference.
Any comments. ??

I don't use wifi that much so I can't say I've noticed. I have noticed however, when my phone's been asleep, I often have issues with mobile data not being on ... It is fine for large periods of time when I'm using my phone more regular but if I leave it for a while it usually says "Turning On" in settings and often never changes until I tuen it off and let it settle lol.

I don't expect that it is region related. Maybe nobody checks the data speed with speedtest.net....

Tested it with another speed test app and the results are the same.... So it is related to the device itself...
Yep I have also tested with another, and its the same .
Just had a load of play store updates, slow download speed, turn WiFi off and on and then the speed dramatically improves.
Definitely a problem.

Well, today I did a phone reset...this appears to have resolved the problem.

I have the same issue with a HTC One bought through Dial-a-phone and on the O2 network. I sent my first HTC One back
for a replacement, but the replacement has the same problem, so it's not a fault with the handset hardware per-se, more likely
the wifi chipset or firmware.
I have also found that the wifi does not automatically switch between access points on the same SSID, i.e while walking
through a building - it just hangs on to the on it associated with first and won't switch to a better AP even if you're standing
right underneath it. Very irritating. I have found the app 'WiFi Fixer' to be of some use in reconnecting. That also seems to
act the same as turning the wifi on and off, so avoiding the low speed issue.
Interestingly, in my testing, while the speed test app has been showing the downstream limited to 2mit, transfers back and forth
to my local NAS have been fast. It's almost as if the 2mbit 'cap' only applies to traffic going through the default gateway (usually
a home router or the like) but the problem manifests on corporate LANs too with sophisticated Cisco equipment, so you can't really
blame the LAN.
I've logged a ticket with HTC which was allegedly 'escalated' but I'm not that hopeful of a positive outcome!

Hello,
Since the official update to Android 4.3 I also get issues with wlan when I am at work.
It might connect normally at first
But after some time I notice that I do not longer get data over it and most of the time it does no longer find the wlan in the settings, everyone else however can still connect fine, however most people are using iPhones but Even a galaxy s3 had no issues so it is no issue with the access point.
I also had it 2 times that I couldn't even disable wlan anymore (active again after reopening the settings)
Funny thing is that I have no issues with my home wlan that is a fritzbox.
On android 4.2.2 I never had an issue.
Everything stock, no root.
I am using a smartwatch 2. Not sure why it got mentioned here.
Check the router for a seeing that users 2 channels at once to increase bandwidth (not a dual broadcast setting for n and g or 2.4 and 5GHz). I have seen this problem on several android phones when enabled.
