Wifi connection issues - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Just picked up the One yesterday and it's an amazing phone, however whenever I connect to my WiFi it connects quickly and then when I go to load a webpage or do anything with data it stutters, WiFi drops, 3G reconnects for a few seconds, tries to load and then WiFi reconnects. That cycle keeps going until I have to just turn WiFi off.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Yep driving me nuts trying to transfer from my old 3D. WTH.

no problems here with my netgear r6300 AC router, the initial connection does seems to take a bit longer than my old evolte but other than that not a single problem.

[Q] Slow to latch to wifi? Connect to 3g briefly before wifi.

I have a pretty stock HTC One, and I'm on a particularly sub par data plan, where each 'data session' is rounded up.
I have wifi both at home and at work, good wifi signal and am v close to router etc. I find that if I put the phone into standby and then use it again 5-10 minutes later, it is still connected to wifi, all good. If I leave it for 20-30 minutes, when I wake it, it latches onto the 3g network for a few seconds and then realises there is wifi and connects to that.
I have things like Google+, FB messenger and push mail which I presumed required a constant connection.
Any thoughts on why the wifi appears to be being turned off as it entertains deep sleep?
I can just switch data off when at home or work but I don't want to have to rely on that sort of thing, and the apps that do that for you based on GPS etc aren't that appealing either.
Look in adavanced settings under wifi. Should be able to set it to keep wifi on during sleep

Thanks for the reply. Yup I have that set to always. Seems to happen both on my home and work wifi, despite great signal strength. Sometimes it seems it does happen even if the phone is unused for 5-10 minutes.
I assume this is actually pretty common and most if not all phones do this, you probably wouldn't notice unless you were tracking each connected data session.
I was thinking the phone must do something like, wake, spend x time looking for wifi while simultaneously connecting to 3g, then when wifi is found it is connected to and the 3g connection is dropped. I guess I'd be looking to delay/postpone that connecting to the 3g network for 5 seconds or so to give the wifi time to establish.
Probably nothing I can do really.
I haven't noticed any problem staying connecetd to wifi while sleeping and Ive looked at the notification bar many time before ever unlocking the phone, just to make sure wifi stayed connected as its suppose to and it does. Only see 3g when Ive set it keep wifi on during sleep to only when plugged in and I dont have it plugged in. I also have best wifi performance checked. Dont think that makes much difference though. Im also stock at the moment

What is the rom that you use? Did you do clean flash? Did you flash any kernel? Did you try to forget the network and reconnect again? More information is needed.

i'm using the stock ROM but i did unlock and root. i am using a asus RT-N56U with WPA2 personal AES encryption for security. Phone set for best wifi performance, wi-fi band on auto, keep wi-fi on during sleep.
I can connect and it will work usually especially if i turn off wifi then turn it back on. However, the problem exists that the length of time the connection will remain with the ability for loading webpages/video is unknown. It could be 2-5 minutes, but i've also tested it and its been able to hold a connection while constantly streaming a netflix movie.
I'm wondering if it could be resolved by setting my phone to connect to my home network via a static ip? seen things related to that elsewhere. It is very annoying and troublesome to have to constantly turn on/off the wifi when im sitting in the same place. I could be reading a webpage then click a link on it and then it will fail to load even though showing i am connected. Then i have to switch on and off. This has happened plenty of times within 30 minutes i've had to turn it on and off 3-4 times. To me that is not "functional".
is it something with my phone or router? or both?

you definitely shouldnt have to connect with a static. it may help but what about when u r in public do you still have the problem?? if not then maybe u should try a new home networking device or play around with the security setting on ur router.
my wifi seems to work fine other than my speedtest results are only 3mbps up. i should be getting as much as 55, i used to get up to 40 on my gs3. i am totally stock, with the same settings.

Do you have sleep mode turned on, in settings, power? Or power saver?

Maybe try unplugging both your modem and router for 10 seconds and then plug them back in.

[Q] Wifi dropouts when using internet

Hey guys,
I have a huge problem with my HTC One M7 wifi at my router.
My Problem:
This problem started after the HTC repair service sent my broken phone back with a new mainboard, accu...
Connect to the wifi
go to a app that uses Internet (e.g. youtube, google play...)
Start a video/download and wait a few seconds/megabytes
Wifi first only shows uploading arrow for few seconds, then wifi disconnects completely
After that I can either: stop using any internet and wait for a while, then it automatically reconnects to the router after some time and I have the same problem again.
Reboot and reconnect immediately, if I just try to reconnect nothing happens when pressing the connect button.
What I noticed:
When my Phone loses the connection to the router, my whole network seems to start lagging, when I played CSGO and my Phone started a download automatically, the wifi crashed after two megabytes, my ingame ping spiked to like 500ms instead of the normal 20ms, so the disconnect seems to affect the whole network.
At my friend's house my wifi worked smoothely enough to play 30 minutes of 360p videos on youtube and didn't crash a single time, his Internet connection is significantly slower than mine.
All other devices in my network work perfectly fine DECT Phones, androidphones everything works fine.
My specs:
HTC One M7: fastboot getvar all (in Attachments) with 5.0.1 stock rom
Router: AVM Fritzbox 7490
What I already tried: (nothing worked)
Restart phone and router
Connect with static not DHCP in wifi settings
Enable only 2,4GHz or 5Ghz frequency on my phone
disable either 5Ghz or 2,4Ghz frequency on my router
Use the Wifi FXR App to fix my wifi
factory reset in Router and Phone
block "clients3.google.com" in my routers settings for the connecting phone
install a Custom ROM
Is there a solution for this problem? I'm out of Ideas and can't find anything on google.

Disconnecting from Wifi

I've been starting to get this problem recently where even if I stood directly next to my router the phone would just disconnect from the wifi at some point. Had this on my old iphone se too but not on my computer so idk how it could be related. Anyone else been getting disconnected from the wifi a lot?
It could be a issue caused by the router. See if this happens when your phone is connected to other routers.
When this happens again, turn your router off and back on and see if there's any improvement in the situation.

I've been getting similar problems as well.
I often do a reboot but on one occasion the problem lasted for an entire day!
Did anybody find a solution?
