[Q] No WiFi

My One is having some issues when connecting to wifi, I've had this problem with it both on stock and viperRom. Currently where I sit at work I have both my personal phone which is the HTC and my work phone which is a GS3. The GS3 connects fine to wifi and stays connected just like it should, but for whatever reason my One loses connection intermittently which can only be fixed by rebooting or turning the wifi off then back on, but the problem continues to occur. I've turned off the sleep mode off in the power settings and disabled mobile data to try and force it to remain connected to wifi but that doesn't work and the rom doesn't make a difference. I don't have this problem anywhere else except my work, but I do know there aren't any weird settings for the wifi here because I set up the access points myself. There has to be some kind of different between my phone and the GS3. Any one know of any fixes or have the same problem?

Maybe go to Wi-Fi settings and pick your frequency band instead of auto

Interesting, didn't even think to dig into the settings that far. Now, to just figure out what frequency I set the access points to and see if that works. Not sure why that would make a difference though. The GS3 sitting right next to it is set to auto and not on 2.4 or 5 so I doubt that is the cause of the problem.

So far, no dice. I guess I should have specified that what happens is the phone is connected to the access point but fails to keep a connection to the internet. So, basically the phone is connected to the access point and it has internet for a little bit, but after a few minutes there is no longer internet but it still remains connected to the access point.
Update: After half a day on 2.4 and 5 for frequencies there is no change, I still have the intermittent problems while the GS3 right next to it is fine. I'm curious what the difference is and how to fix it.

So after a long time experimenting I think I may have found the problem. I started using nova launcher so I would be able to have more screens than just the 5 with sense. However, I noticed that wifi was working correctly when nova was set as the default launcher. To test it further I spent the past week with one day on nova and one day on sense 5. I consistently had no problems with nova, but did have problems sense. When I did have issues all i had to do was clear data and cache on htc sense and set nova as the default launcher then reboot and no problems after that. I like nova so I will continue using it until aosp roms are clear of all the bricking problems.

WiFi Problems, help!

So for about a week now, I've been having horrendous wifi issues on my device running CM 10.1 nightlies. My problem being that my phone will remain connected to wifi but no actual connection is present. It's very sporadic and highly annoying. After the problem occcurs, it still says i am connected but i can't actually access the internet.. Temporarily disabling wifi and re enabling fixes it for a couple minutes then it happens again. I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware issue as i can use my school wifi for an entire day without disconnects or anything but i can't get mine to work. I've tried carbon rom, diff nightlies, clear data+ cache but nothing works. This also happened on an xperia running CM (my dads). Any solution??

So the issue is on the router side, do you have a dual band router? if so make sure 5ghz is up and running. If you have a single band router thats capable of 5ghz, make sure all you wireless devices are capable of 5ghz freqency and if so switch it over.
Also Ive fixed this/ or similar issues on networks by disabling QoS in the router settings, id recommend disabling it and see if it helps

The strange thing is I haven't changed any router settings at all and before last week I've had absolutely no issues with wifi. Now it seems I can't keep a connection for more than a couple minutes max. Also, sometimes (not always) I'll try connecting to a different router or access point and it'll connect and the next second it'll instantly disconnect. I'll try your suggestion and hope it works

Just restarting the device works for me, using eternity project kernel stock version, I don't know for CM though, try installing latest nightly and install a custom kernel, most of them are better than stock CM kernel

After OTA 4.3 update Wii turning on and off

I just did the 4.3 OTA update and my WiFi keeps turning on and off on the phone. It loses connection and reconnects once a minute. Any ideas?

Took the OTA yesterday and I am not having that happen to me at all.

No issues here.

UPDATE:
Its not just my Wifi. Its the 3G too. All data drops out and connects again about once a minute. Spent an hour on the phone with Sprint. They tried everything including a wipe and hard software reset and still the issue is there. Only thing I can think of is that they snuck in some optimizing software or something. Either way, I now will need to go to a corporate sprint store. Really do not want to replace this phone that I have had for 27 days with a refurb, so any ideas will be welcomed.

I was having the same issue, do you live in an area with 4G? I don't and I think it was the cause. I think my phone was 'programmed' to think there was 4G around, but there wasn't. I kept seeing eHRPD under network info. I think it might be a 4.3 bug, bc I went back to Viper and it worked fine. Not really sure, but Amazon replaced my phone and now I'm scared to go back to 4.3 and get plagued with the bug again. I also think the new radio gave me issues, so I downgraded to the original radio also

This happened to me, it was a mixture of a damaged N antenna and bad sprint lte performance. Reverting to a g router fixed the problem for me. You should try a different router. Now fixing your regular signal, that's something you'll have a tough time with. I recommend you go to a sprint store and get a replacement asap though, my suggestion is not a fix, just a temporary measure. Curious, did you try the GPE rom by team nocturne? This issue started once I reverted from the TN GPE rom to stock. I think that rom may have damaged my radio/antenna. It's just a far fetched theory but plausible nonetheless. And a risk I took willingly, but still, I'm just curious to clarify if it was tinkering or sh*tty htc components.

I personally think it is just 4.3. I didn't have any issues with 4.1.2 with my WiFi or connectivity. I've even tested it and my WiFi drops like crazy only on 4.3 but is fine on 4.1.2, so I reverted back and haven't had any issues.

I found this just now.. towards the bottom there's a dialer code *#*#4636#*#* if you do that and change to gsm/wcdma/lte (something like that) it resolved my problem with 3G not working. Wifi might be my router

I have looked in the settings and sometimes the power saver will automatically shut 3G of it will not reconnect with a disconnected I switch to LTE / CDMA only have had no issues and also the wifi is meant to do that to conserve battery you should be able to disable the wifi in advance I'm not short just my thoughts
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

Idk. In 4.3 all my settings were correct (*#*#4636#*#*) and I turned all battery conservation off and my data (3g and WiFi) would cut out intermittently while I was using it. I've tried that on stock and all other 4.3 ROMs, I think it might just be my phone not liking 4.3, but YMMV. Stuck on 4.1.2 until I get the Note 3.

It's a power save feature if you have enabled Power Saver. Basically if you haven't used the connection in a while it turns it off until the next scheduled update check or your screen turns back on.

I have been having the same exact issue and it is driving me nuts. I have problems at home, work and anywhere else I use Wifi so it is not just one router. I have tried numerous 4.3 roms and was about to roll back to 4.1.2 to see if that fixes it.
Was starting to think that I was crazy, glad I saw this post!

I'd hate to be (just kidding, I love being) the smart alec here, but your post title says "Wii turning on and off." I clicked on this thread wondering how your phone update was turning your Wii on and off.

I'm having the same problem after the update. Wifi turns on n off, so will my 3g/4g while I'm using it. Didn't have this problem before the update so I doubt it's hardware related.

Same here. I assumed it had something to do with the fact that they're working on lte in my area.

UPDATE:
At work (50 minutes from home) the 3G and Wifi spots I try are working fine. No strobe connection. But at home both Wifi and 3G blink. I know they are working on the antenna near home, so it must be the issue. Have tried shutting off mobile data while on wifi, tried both wifi antennas at home, can't seem to get the strobe effect to go away.

Yes, I messed up typing Wifi. At least with Wii up there get grabs people's attention.

WiFi Disconnects & Reconnects after 4.3 update

One phone is on Flex's 4.3 Stock with Goodies. The other is my wife's stock phone with the latest 4.3 update.
After the update, both phones are reconnecting and disconnecting on home WiFi router constantly (every minute) This did not happen before the update. Wireless laptop still connects fine to the router.
Are there phone settings to tinker with regarding this issue? OR do yall think it's a modem issue. It should also be noted that my phone connects just fine to my work's WiFi.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Update/ Bump
Things I have done to my router thus far, and am still experience constant disconnect / reconnect
Set the router to B only
Set the router to G only
Set the router to N only
Changed the channel of the router
removed WEP/WPA Password
Upgraded firmware in this router
reset router
kicked router
Both phones are still having this issue. Do you any of you folks think it could be some conflict in handing out IP Addresses by the router?

ten etessar
I am having the exact same issue. It was happening on the stock ROM after the 4.3 update. Yesterday I rooted and flashed Stock w Goodies, the problem is still there.

Yup happening to me also but I thought it was just my phone not playing nice with the router. Problem persists even on the 5.5 roms

I was having the same problem..so I turneded off roaming and it still happened somewhat...then I reflashed the separate radio and it's much better

What radio specifically did you flash?

This has happened to me as well. Changing the radio to the newest one helps a little as does changing to Roam Only or No Roaming. Also, placing the phone onto airplane mode and then connecting to wifi alleviates the problem. Unfortunately the most reliable fix I could find was flashing back to 4.1.2.
My theory is that something about how 4.3 handles connectivity in relation to cell service borks connectivity with all other radios on the phone because when I used my Moga with 4.3 it would constantly disconnect when the radio switched between Sprint and Roaming. But I'm not a developer nor do I understand much except for the basics.

Same issue. Only with certain apps though, like Facebook. Pretty sure it's not me because I'm stock unrooted and all my other devices work fine.

Yep, same here I am also experiencing an issue on Badseed's rom where I get a constant popup every 3 minutes or so asking if I want to allow data access for this trip or for all trips. No matter what I select it keeps coming back, even in settings where I select to allow all types of roaming I am still having this issue.... Any ideas?

I already had the latest 4.3 firmware update (soff) and then a couple weeks later I flashed the latest radio found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406330
I also disabled roaming plus I changed the lte/cdma option under data settings to Automatic
So far so good

Happened to me too. No clue. Maybe sense 5.5 will fix it but I switched Roms.

Data and Wifi completely drop, have to do airplane mode to turn it back on

I don't know why, but this is a consistent problem and it's getting annoying. I will only have bars, but no wifi or internet connection. This just randomly happens and I don't know what triggers it.
I have to turn airplane mode on and off to fix the problem. Is there something that is causing this?

What happens is data and wifi disappear and if I hit wifi it won't turn on. I have to turn airplane mode on and off and it starts working again.

I have had the same thing happen,but only once or twice,I chalked it up to my home WiFi threw Comcast ,I've been having major problems with my Comcast modem dropping WiFi or to slow of a connection,think I have to replace the modem just been to lazy,but I have the smart network switch on in my phones wifi settings so I thought maybe from the signals switching so much it froze or something,but yea it did same thing I had no lte or 4G next to my carrier signal,the wifi was not allowing me to turn it on,or scan for networks,wasn't even showing any so I did the same thing hit the airplane toggle and it came back.

Sorry i have no others solution for it.

I just posted a thread about the EXACT SAME issue. It only seems to happen overnight, but when I wake up in the morning my wifi has been turned off and my 4G LTE isn't working. When I try and toggle wifi back on it gets stuck and never reconnects/turns on. My solution has been to restart the phone.
I'm thinking since this seems like a rare problem, that this is a device-specific issue. I'm going to try and exchange mine this weekend due to this problem and hopefully get a properly functioning GS5 instead.

Have the same issue (made a post about it already in this forum). Usually happens when there is a large fluctuation in signal. Grocery store where I get no service results in no service when I leave the store as well. Have to cycle airplane mode like you described.
WiFi hasn't done it yet.
Another forum member suggested it may happen if using an older style SIM, which I am (from my S3). I haven't been up to change it yet. What SIM are you guys using?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2744472

I typically have this happen when I'm at home at night, while my phone is plugged in and on wifi. Just disconnects at some point overnight.
I'm using a brand new SIM provided by AT&T when I upgraded in store.
Very strange issue and is random. For instance, it didn't happen overnight last night.

My S5 just started dropping data randomly and causing my battery to drain with almost no usage... I tested using Skype in a good 4G LTE area and will start out with 4 bars and the 4G LTE icon but as soon as I try to initialize a test video call over Skype the signal immediately drops to either no bars at 4G or it will go straight to E!? I haven't had this issue in a long time and it just suddenly started. At first I figured maybe they lost a tower but now this is going on almost a full week. I've got unlimited Data so I know that's not the issue, it has a brand new SIM... I'm going to AT&T and see if they have an answer or if they'll swap it out. Annoying!
Also annoying that sending a simple text will fail... ugh no root and now no data! :what::banghead:

I've had this happen several times, but only at my work. Reception is poor at my office, and the company WiFi requires browser-based login each hour, which I switch to many times a day.
The phone basically stops using all radios EXCEPT bluetooth, showing a circle with a line through it. I've been rebooting the phone to restore connectivity, but will try toggling airplane mode next time. I haven't noted any strange battery drain.
I haven't seen this issue when wifi is disabled.
I didn't notice it locked up a few days ago and drove home where cell reception is very good. The phone didn't recover until I rebooted it.
I have a brand new SIM from ATT and use a Gear 2 (which is greatness, btw)
I've done the following:
1. disabled the damn ATT hotspot app
2. Disabled/enabled the Wifi connection check setting
3. Did a full factory reset
This is getting close to a deal breaker for me.

As an update...
I have this issue basically every work day with the aforementioned environmental variables
Today, I:
Disabled Bluetooth (left the gear at home)
Disabled wireless
Switched radio to 'LTE/GSM/CDMA Auto' with instructions in this thread
The radios haven't locked up and reception is much better.
I'll try leaving WiFi/BT on and use my Gear again next week.

For anyone who is still interested, changing the modem setting seems to have resolved the problem for me. It also improved connectivity in weak areas a good deal.
Unfortunately you must enter the key sequence to toggle the radio each time the phone is restarted.
