[Q] HTC One 801n - 4.2.2 update - WiFi issue - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Howdy folks,
I received the HTC One (801n) earlier today. It arrived with 4.1.2.
Explored it for a few minutes, although I did not set it up fully - assuming I'd have to do it all over again following a 4.2.x update (I am coming from the HTC Desire, btw).
The WiFi was connecting without issues, then. I was also able to download the official 4.2.2 update from HTC servers.
The update was executed successfully - and surprisingly - I did not have to set-up the device from scratch. I then happened to notice that the phone would not connect to the WiFi network. I have my old Desire beside me (running a 4.2.2 custom ROM) and it has never faced those issues.
For a moment, I thought it was a hardware defect - but I recalled that the update from 4.1.2 was done OTA on the same WiFi network. I am, therefore, guessing it is a 4.2.2 bug.
Unfortunately, Google searches did not show any such issue specific to the One. However, there were 4.2.2-and-WiFi related issues in the One X.
I have tried a few full-resets in vain. Could someone please offer an insight?
Thanks, in advance, for your time/help.

Try removing the network in wifi settings and then reconnecting from new, it's not a issue with 4.2.2 causing this.
If that fails then after a base update (4.1.2 to 4.2.2) a factory reset is sometimes required after the update but this will mean having to set everything up again.

Thank you for the response. Did that, mate.
I guess you mean - 'forget' network and reconnect afresh? Yep, tried that. And did the factory reset too - to no avail.
Searched threads here, guess this is a first - in the meanwhile, I'll check out other Google results which indicated similar issues with the One X. Never owned one before, but shouldn't be all that different.

A little more information would be very helpful in trying to answer your question.
Are you talking about turning on the Wifi hotspot application? What ROM version were you running which had that feature working (I don't recognize a ROM that had a version 3.2)? Was this a stock ROM or a custom ROM? Was it rooted?
How did you install Android 4.0.4 and which version did you install? Again, was it an official upgrade from HTC or did you install a custom ROM? If so, which one?
I am talking about a phone successfully connected to a domestic WIFI or office but no internet connection. The HTC INcredible S phone info is HTC sense 3.6/Android 4.04 *LOCKED* HBOOT 2.02.002 - May 22/2012.
I installed it from the official HTC service when the phone automatically suggested update. I believe I had Android 3.2 or 3.2 previously and everything was fine.
Thanks

Try another network. Make sure your phone has an IP address when connected. Try forget the network and reconnect. If all else fails download a GINGERBREAD 2.3 RUU and downgrade
Android 3 never released on phones it was for tablets only

Thanks for the reply, I have everything configured correctly and I can go on line at home via WIFI using a Sony Xperia phone. The HITC Incredible managed to go online in restaurant and Office WIFI with no problem. So, my router is a Huawei Echolife hg532 and works fine with every other devices but my HTC phone. It seems that the HTC Incredible S android 4.04 cannot connect to all routers, users beware. How many of you are experiencing the same problem? Will HTC acknowledge the problem and release an update soon?

I must say for being on the stock 4.04 ROM, you are the only one I have heard of that has had any issue with WIFI connections. The chances of HTC acknowledging the problem and slim to none and I seriously doubt that we will see anymore updates from HTC for the IncS.
It's unbelievable! I spent a whole week trying to go online through my home WIFI. Now It is going online and working normally. It seems to work after I managed to connect on other WIFI's from office and restaurant, like I mentioned on my previous post. Now I am afraid that it may stop working again if and when I reboot the phone. Can anyone figure this out? I am puzzled...
PS: By the way I read on other forums, some people experiencing the same problem and solving it by fiddling with DLNA auto IP on/off.
Cheers
No Wifi Connection on any android 4.0 + Rom

(SOLVED) Signal issues sice 4.3

Hi everyone,
since the update to Android 4.3 I'm experiencing some signal issues which makes me think about sending the phone to HTC.
First, after booting up the phone it connects to the GSM/3G network but after a minute or two it looses the signal for a while.
Second, every time i turn on WiFi the phone disconnects from the GSM/3G network. I'm not talking about switching from mobile data to WiFi, i'm talking about disconnecting from the mobile network at all!!! It says "no signal" and i get a little "x" displayed at the status bar every time i turn on WiFi.
These issues had not been present with Android 4.2.2 but with 4.3 it's just annoying.
I tried to avoid this by turning off the energy saving option but it's still the same.
Anyone with the same problem or even a solution?
Regards!
Phone goes in Unreachable state when power saver is ON after upgrading to 4.3
Hello All,
After upgrading my phone to Android 4.3, i am facing a problem i.e.when in built power saver mode is ON or any other third party application for power saving is activated, then when i am using my phone on 3G it works just fine but after some time when i put the phone in idle mode (screen lock & not using the phone) after some time when i again try to use my phone , my phone's data connection couldn`t start, and when i try to manually switch on the data connection through setting, it shows "Turning On.." & remains in this state. And during this scenario my phone goes in unreachable state, i have to restart my phone to make it working.
Pls help, is there any workaround to eradicate this problem, Am i the only one facing this problem or it is problem in all HTC one after upgrade to 4.3.
Thanks.

I bought a factory SIM unlocked HTC one with CID_102 and I'm using it with an austrian tele.ring SIM card. I didn't perform any software/bootloader/CID or whatever modification at all. I think the device has been shipped with Android 4.1.2, i don't remember. After Android 4.3 OTA update these problems occured. Before 4.3 OTA update i performed the 4.2.2 OTA update and used the phone for a while without any problems at all, until 4.3 OTA was available. Since then these signal issues make me crazy. According to system info the baseband version is 4A.21.3263.04_10.38m.1157.04L and the build number is 3.62.401.1 CL264544
If you need more info let me know!
Regards!
PS: I also performed a factory reset, but it's still the same.
Finally, there was a quite simple solution for this issue. I switched from "GSM/WCDMA/LTE automatic" to "GSM/WCDMA automatic" and this problem didn't occur any more.

[Q] Imaginary WiFi after Sprint OTA

I started with a fully stock Sprint m7 and took the most recent OTA with sense 6. I then did a factory reset. Since that reset, I have WiFi networks showing up in my list that don't exist. Upon further inspection, the signal db of these fake networks never change, and the mac addresses are all zeros. The WiFi works just fine other than this strange anomaly. I planned to unlock and flash AOSP anyway, so I ignored it and assumed they would go away after flashing. I unlocked and rooted, flashed another sense ROM, then went s-off with firewater. I then flashed cyanogenmod, the latest nightly. These networks are STILL SHOWING UP. What the heck is going on? I'm guessing its buried in the kernal so that why it persisted through multiple ROM flashes? I have googled and searched here several times and I can't find anything related to this issue. Again, it was 100% stock when this started.
I'm S-Off, running the Thoughtless One ROM now (latest sprint OTA base, rooted with bloat removed)
I flashed latest firmware with hboot and such removed.
Random WiFi neworks keep showing up "in range". I was able to locate one by its name, the business is next to where I had lunch one day. I never connected to it, and I'm 10 miles from it.
Anyone have sugestions? I don't know enough about this OS to understand where this bug could be hiding. It all started back when I was fully stock and took the OTA with Sense 6. It's starting to make me paranoid. :silly:

XT1058 dead?WiFi

Hi guys i have a story to tell you... my WiFi doesn't work on XT1058 5.1... i thought was a Lollipop related issue so wanted to downgrade to 4.4.4 and see if the problem really was related to android version, but it isn't. I downgraded successfully from 5.1 to 4.4.4 with your tutorial, but the WiFi problem persist. Now i know i'm really screwed up becouse i tried i believe everything possible...
- Airplane mode
- Factory reset
- Cache wipe
- Full wipe
- Custom rom
- Custom kernel
- Android 4.4.4
- Different AP's and routers
- Delete wpa supplicant conf...
So i don't know what to do. Te specific problem is that WiFi can see available networks, but randomly some of them disappear and others show up, and when i try to connect for ex. to my home network, it says "connecting" and then "saved", with all networks happens the same. Does anyone has a clue, or maybe somebody in the same situation?
I have similar problem before. I tried returned to full 4.4.2 stock and no go.
In the end , I send it to moto and they replace me a new one which costs me 100 bucks.
I think It could be a hardware problem and might caused by running wifi hotspot too often...

Internet Connection Unstable (WiFi) Since Recent OTA Update

My phone is a T-Mobile branded HTC One M7 with Android 5.0.2. A few days ago, I received an OTA Android update and since then, WiFi has been unusable.
When WiFi is turned on, the phone sees and connects to the WiFi access point, but a error message pops up, "Internet Connection Unstable" with the SSID of the access point displayed below.
I contacted HTC support and was advised to wipe the cache partition. This did not work, and the next bit of advice was to do a factory reset on the phone. I'd like to avoid that if possible... has anyone else encountered this issue?
Thanks.

UPDATE: this turned out to be not a problem with the phone. I found a rogue DHCP server on the network that was causing the instability.
they might be right, a full reset is quite useful after a ota update (for HTC phones). After upgrading to lollipop I did have a couple of bugs (tho none as major as the one you're describing) and I had to do a factory reset to get everything working flawlessly.
And after trying to upgrade from stock 7.19.401.102 to 7.19.401.121 my m7 stopped working altogether, it got stuck in a bootloop at HTC's logo. I had to flash a nandroid backup I made when I was on KitKat and then upgrade to 7.19.401.102 lollipop, do a full reset, upgrade to 7.19.401.121, and then another reset. That fixed everything for me (maybe the factory resets weren't necessary in that case tho). But I no longer care about htc's stock roms to go through such trouble again.
HTC's ota update seem to have lots of bells and whistle (and annoyances) going about them, which is why I'm on 6.0.1 crdroid ROM.
try clearing the settings app data (from settings>apps) or the WiFi app data. There's no guarantee it'll work but it's better than having to do a full reset.
