Hi firstly I've been browsing here for ages and its a great forum, loads of helpful ppl but thought I'd actually post for a change
first problem: i've got a bluetooth hands free kit, worked great on my old fone but I find I have to take the unit out of standby to get it to connect, whereas every other fone I've tried with it connected str8 away. is there a workaround or something for this? or does anyone have any suggestions?
second one: is the fact my fone randomly drops signal, I've missed god know's how many calls now cos it just drops, i can be using it or not and it will just go. O2 seem to think it's a faulty fone but last time I went to the o2 shop they told me online contract deal with them etc etc. Anyone had this problem? I'm running corporate not O2 as I didnt want the stuff it installed (except the damn battery meter ggrrr)
Sorry if this has been posted before but i did look and couldnt find any solutions
Thanks for reading ppl...have a good one
Hello there,
As a newcomer, I found out these foruns filled up with great information and guys willing to help, so came here to ask for some help ....I am both excited and dissapointed with my brand new Milestone. Bought the handset about 5 days ago, which came with Android 2.0. Then updated it straight away to version 2.1 via "Motorola Software Update". So far so good ...here´s the problem I am facing :
While connected to wi-fi or 3g(issue is easier to notice due to 3G icon at the task bar, which points out in those small arrows data that is being sent/received) phone stops to receive data out of the blue. All connectios are cut off(it also happens when the handset is locked up). Some basic trouble shooting i did:
- tested all pcs connected to the same wi-fi network. No issues detected for these
- reset wi-fi router configs. Didn´t work
- tried other wi-fi router. Presented same issue
- swapped another carrier chip to test 3g connection. Presented the same issue
- tested my GSM chip on ther phone. Worked properly
- Reset phone to default settings. This time the connection took longer to drop, like 30 minutes, instead of the usual 10 minutes. After the first drop, it´s started behaving the same way again.
It seems pretty much that there an issue going on here (obvious...hehehe). I am considering the following:
- Might be a software issue. So, right now i am downgrading it back to 2.0 version, check if it works properly and then move to 2.1 hopping to get the issue fixed.
- Use retailer warranty and claim for a new phone =/
Could you guys help me out ??
Thanks in advance and Best Regards !!!
Guys, after downgrading version to 2.0, phone stills presenting the same issue. I think it´s turning into hardware issue =/....does anyone have a clue about it?
Thanks and Best Regards!!!
Hi all.
First post here to ask for a possible solution to a very annoying issue: my wife's i9001 cannot keep the bluetooth connection with car kit stable.
The mobile is stock, with 2.3.5 brand TIM (Italian provider) with only a few apps installed from market and go-launcher EX used.
I don't think these apps are the guilty, because from the very first day of use, the issue appeared when nearly any app was already installed.
This happens with both my car (mercedes E-klass 2years old) and my wife's one (Reanult Megane, 1year old).
Not always a problem: sometimes it just work as expected, a lot of times the sammy keeps connecting and disconnectin by itself, a very few times the issue caused the cell to completely stop working (no phone, no data - ok after reboot).
And now: does anyone know if there's a solution? Or at least what the problem is...
I made a good search here and in other Italian forums, but I didn't find any hint.
Help please!!!!!!!
Thanks and bye (and sorry for my english...)

Hello, I recently got my HTC ONE, and discovered that HTC has a serious issue with wifi connectivity. I had a HTC desire a couple of years ago and got rid of it after noticing wifi connection constantly disconnecting and reconnecting (it stays off for 1 - 2 seconds, then reconnects) even if I was standing right next to the router. But now it seems that HTC ONE has the same damn problem. I DID all things indicated in other posts, like check the best wifi performance option, tried 2,4ghz only, auto, nothing works. This happens more often when 3g wcdma is on, but it still disconnects on gsm only, so I doubt it has anything to do with cellular antenna. The phone is brand new, I doubt that taking it to service and getting a new one will solve anything. What is there to be done?
And another thing that bugs me. Lets say autobrightness is off rights? When the background is dark the backlight still goes down, and when its white it goes up, just a bit. and the transition is very lame, as its soo obvious, it goes up and down in steps that last 20ms. but its visible and annoying to look at. any patch or soft for this? Thanks!
Are you on stock rom?
I might be imagining it, but ever since leaving stock for arhd 4.1.2, and even now on 4.2.2 the wifi seems to me to be less stable. However the 3g/lte isn't bad.
Hopefully will be fixed on future releases /source code releases from htc..

I'm on arhd 10.1 and have absolutely zero WiFi problems. Zero
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Im on android revolution 10.1 4.2.2 also. still got wifi issues.
I'm having the exact same problem on my brand new stock HTC One
Constantly connects and drops two seconds later all day and drains my battery.

Same thing with me. Brand new HTC One, only a week old. Right out of the box, I was having the same wifi issue you describe here. I did some searching and a couple of people said the issue went away when they installed the ViperOne ROM. So that's what I did. Same problem.
This is frustrating. My friends all gave me crap when I decided to go back to Android after being on Windows Phone 8 for a year... telling me I'm going to have to deal with poor battery life, etc. I laughed at them. Now they're laughing at me.
I'll have to look into arhd 10.1 and see if that helps.
Okay, this was weird. So, I performed a nandroid backup of my current state, flashed ARHD 40.3 (after wiping and deleting everything) and I had the same wifi drop issue in ARHD! So, since I preferred ViperOne anyway, I went back into recovery did another wipe/delete of everything and restored the nandroid backup I made right before flashing ARHD. Boo yah! I haven't had the wifi drop problem since! Ha! No idea... maybe I just needed a cleanup? I'd already tried wiping the cache before, to no avail. Strange... but happy it's working now.

Never mind... it's back to doing the same thing. Very annoying. It only worked right for about half a day, then went back to dropping the wifi constantly. I don't know what to try next.
I've never had problems with WiFi-dropouts on my HTC One, used both 10.1 @ 4.2.2 and now 40.3 @ 4.4.
However I have dropouts on my Samsung Galaxy S4, where it claims my network is unstable (connected with 5 GHz). The S4 is stock, no mods what so ever. It's only unstable at my home router, never at work or anywhere else. I use a Jensen 3000DG. Never tried 2.4 GHz at home, so I don't know if it's the band or the router itself that's the problem. It can be one of many reasons.
My point being, if you haven't tried already, try a different router or try either 2.4 or 5 GHz.
If you are certain the problem lies with your phone, I would return it to seller on warranty.

Another thing I just realized, it could be an IP-conflict within your local network. I.e. if your phone asks for an ip-address from the wifi-router, which tries to give out an ip-address that's already in use by another device. Can often happen if one or more devices has a static ip, or if the leasing period of an ip has just exceeded and the device still holds the ip even if the router has released it.
If this is plausible, get some info on your home network (ip-ranges, gateway, etc), and give your htc a static ip in the higher range.
I.e. if your router's gateway is 192.168.0.1, and it gives out from 192.168.0.101-199, give your htc something like 192.168.0.190.
Otherwise, like mentioned earlier, try a different router...
Hey,
I've got a quite annoying problem:
I bought my Samsung Galaxy S4A and since the first day, I've got Network problems.
When I start my Device, everything seems to be okay, but after 20-30minutes the Internet doesn't work anymore.
First, just the Upload-Sign on the "E" or on the "H" lights and later, it disappears completely.
Additionally to that i have full Network-Interrupts. Often, i have no Internet-Sign, but full bars and can't start to telephone.
After some test i can exclude the SIM-card and the software as guilty ones.
Please help me
Is it my bad English, or is there really noone who can help me?
