Wi-Fi problem after 4.4.2 update. [solved] - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, this morning I received the notification that an update was ready (4.4.2 update, I live in Italy but my One is from Norway). Well, just ended the update, and since that moment, I' m not able to connect to any Wi-Fi network, even if from favorites. It founds networks, says connection in progress, and then nothing. Has anyone founded this kind of problem?

Just solved, the problem was the Wi-Fi protection. It seems to not connect on router with Wep, in Wpa everything works like a charm.

Yep, alot of firmware versions do have issues with WEP encrypted WiFi networks.
WPA is the way to go.

Good to know. I never knew about this problem...

Tried again with my router (Netgear DG834G v3), and my One won't connect in Wep neither in wpa. This morning i have tried with another router (an HTC One used like hotspot) and it was ok.
Now I've tried with that other router in wep, and it connects too. Before the update everything was ok with the netgear...someone can help me?

I am also having problems connecting to a Netgear router with WPA security after the update to 4.4.2 (ARHD 51), anybody have an idea what could be causing it? I could connect fine before upgrading to 4.4.2

You try this:
Change the device name under Bluetooth, restart device and connect to WiFi router again.

Sorry guys, I found solution 3 days ago, but didn't post it thinking I was the only with this problem. To solve it, go in settings, Wi-Fi, click on three dots up on the right, advanced and then mark the last voice in the menu (in italian I nave "IP automatico DLNA", and I think in english is " IP automatic DLNA"). It turn works in Wep, wpa, wpa2...everything)

Previously saved Wifi's not connecting after 4.4.2 update

I also face the same problem. I tried the above said method as well. But dint work. It seems that the problem is with only those saved networks before update. Can someone help me with this. Thanks

Hey there,
I seem to having the same problem. After updating my HTC one to android 4.4.2 I cannot connect to my WIFI anymore. The wifi is connecting and then nothing happens anymore. Can anybody help me with this
Thank you!

1. go to your router setting>> wireless setting>> disable the password required.
2. connect to your home WiFi from your device, see if connected (hope it does)
3. go to your router setting>> wireless setting>> enable password required (WPA/2)
4. connect to your home WiFi from your device with the new password.
It works for me, hope i helped.

To fix wi-fi problem on 4.4.2 android you have to rename Wi-fi Direct device name.
To do that you have to go:
WiFi - then 3 dots - WiFi Direct - 3 dots - Rename Device - HTC One.

IT WORKS FOR ME!! I just had to register here to say thanks, but this really works for me. Was using my room wifi running WEP, after a 300+mb 4.4.2 update to my HTC One, it just kept hopping between scanning and connecting and scanning.....was frustrated with it. I tried with another router, running WEP too and going out the same internet pipeline and it worked, just not my room router.
tried manually inputting mac address at my room router but didn't work, turn off/on multiple times but nope, was wondering if router problem or phone problem.
but then i change the displayed device name from Android_524b to HTC One case sensitive and voilah, it immediately worked, pick up the nice beloved wireless signal on the notice bar, and everything back to normal.....
no hard reset, no router re programming, no tearing the whole house to reprogram every darn piece of equipment. thank you so much
(btw, my router is a super old netgear g connection 2.4ghz adsl modem router. tried the frequency band changing to 2.4ghz but had no effect earlier)

[Q] Captivate Wifi Issue

Hi All,
I have a weird problem with my captivate of not connecting to my home network. Let me start by telling that I have searched the solutions and tried doing everything except full factory reset. I have rebooted the phone, done reset on my router (Wifi was working just fine earlier.. so I think settings was not an issue. But I still did it), I removed the file data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf and let it regenerate it. Captivate displays "Obtaining IP Address" and it just stays there. I also see that IP address is being assigned to captivate in my router
Captivate is rooted stock Froyo
Router security: WEP
form the Wifi list, I found one unsecured network and captivate connects to that router just fine (signals are very week though...). I tried removing the security on my router but it still stuck on "Obtaining IP address".
Can you please please help me?? As I mentioned earlier, It was working just fine and suddenly stopped working two days back.
These all app updates are eating away my limited data of 200M.
Thanks a millian.
What's your router model ?
What channel are you running on ?
Are others routers close to you running on the same channel ?
Have you tried another channel ?
Did you try WPA2 ?
Could be incompatibility with your router. That happened to me before with my old router. It didn't work with some cell phone wifi devices.

Try using the app "FXR." I had the same issue a couple times and this app seemed to fix it. It took a few tries though. I think it might be a router problem. I use the Linksys wrt54g.
You could also try assigning a static IP address to your device on the router side, and then telling your phone to use that address. I've used that in the past to some success.
As a test, have you tried (temporarily) disabling the security on your router to see if it connects?
I have a similar problem since upgrading to the past 3 nightlies. My phone sees and connects to my home network and says it has strong signal, but when I try to access Market or Internet it says there's a network error and I can't get thru. My two computers (one hard wired and one wi-fi) don't seem to have any problem hooking in to the internet, just my SGS1

Does the 'FXR' app set up IP addresses?
The App didn't work for me. I tried that yesterday. I was reading the similar problems on some other site yesterday and I found the following that solved my issue. In case someone like me still struggling with the WiFi problem.
Delete file data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf
Delete file /data/misc/dhcp/dhcp_list
reboot the device and it will create these files again and you will have to enter your WiFi password again in order to connect.
I am really glad that my WiFi is working back again.
FYI, I'd change the WEP to WPA.

Where do you go to change that setting? I've been all thru the wi-fi settings and advanced settings, but didn't see anything that referred to WEP or WPA.
Just realized we're talking now about the router, not the phone, duh!
Yes, I certainly need to bump up the security settings on my router.

I used root explorer, but could not locate the files you mentioned. Directories were there just not files. I'm still exploring the router side. Thanks for the info tho.

WIFI not work X8 - ?ROUTER settings? !

Hi guys!
I have problem,that my wifi won't work. It's connected but there's no internet connection. If I change security, i get wifi connection but after few minutes,I lost internet connection but wifi is connected. Same problem on my father HTC WILDFIRE S.
On my laptop wifi works well.
I search on web and there are some people having that trouble,but I didn't find solution. I don't want to use static ip,because I lost router connection,I must use DINAMIC IP for working router.
My router adress is 192.168.2.1
Help me what settings I must to set,change in my router settings. I attach photos from broadband router what settings I have set! Please attach your settings that I can set this on my router. I wan't my normal wifi back.
Thank you all!

Hey there 2010matej.
What router are you using? I have had similar problems that I fixed. Also, some friendly advice would be taking your internet IP off the thread. It can be useful for some people with less favorable intentions.
Also, I'm not sure if it is XPERIA X8 specific.
EDIT: Have you paid this month for internet?

Router: Canon CN WF514:
I have this problem for so time. Yes we always paid for internet!
Ok. I have asked a friend of mine he said that there are a few ways to deal with this problem:
1) A hard reset. Just use a pencil or pen to press the reset button. Hold it there for 4 seconds and the rooter will reset. This will make you start as if from the beginning.
2) Check for any 'broadcast' settings. Enable any that have been disabled.
3) Disconnect any wires and power plugs then clean them and reconnect them.
I'm sorry if this does not work. I have tried quite hard to help but unfortunately this is all I got. My friend also gave me the link to this manual just in case.

Internet is slow at night so maybe this is the problem. Otherwise, try changing your channel. You may get better results. Go to speedtest.net and test your speed. Then come back. Also, connect the wire from router to laptop and it will be faster.
Hit the thanks if I helped anywhere.

i think your problem is based on PPPOE connection type.
thing you do is you connect to your wifi but not to your operator.
THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO:
->go to http://www.torrapk.com/download/apps/WIFIPPPOE_v1.0/WIFIPPPOE_v1.0.php and download wifi pppoe apk
->install (root is needed).
->NOW connect to your wifi as usual.now when icon is displayed open the pppoe apk and insert your opereators username and pasword.(probably same as on your computer/laptop)
and DONE
glad to help

I don't think that is needed at all.. Some routers are really cr*p when WPA2 encryption is used..
I'd try setting it to WEP and trying again.. If it's better, then proceed to MAC allow your devices so your network is secured.
Set the wireless channel to 11 for a strong signal too.
Then in advanced wireless settings on your x8 make sure that NEVER is selected as the sleep policy.
Remove your router in your x8 wireless settings and then set it up again..
Good luck!
Sorry I was under the impression that it wasn't working before at all and now it is. Will read further in future but I have to say that I can't refute or build on lukenda's advice.
I hard reset router again,I didn't set security,but wifi won't work on phone. I don't want to install apps to have working wifi,because I didn't have problems 2 months ago ! And my channel is set to 11!

HELP: No WiFi Error: DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE

Hi,
I'm at a conference and I've lost wifi access from my XPZ (C6603). I'm on stock 4.2.2 build 10.3.1.A.2.67
The phone connects to the main network, but then there's no internet access. My colleague has a XPS and connects without a problem and mine was working yesterday. I have access when connecting through LTE but I'm paying roaming
Google chrome tells me error: DNS_PROBE_POSSIBLE. I have tried many things already google search for the problem, restart phone several times, forget network, changes in DNS from DHC to static, ...
Any solution before trying to re-install the phone firmware?
Thanks a lot!:crying:

In the meantime, the problem solved by itself. When I returned to the hotel I had no problem in connecting to the hotel's wifi and then the next day I could connect at the conference site.
So it seems that some how the problem is in between the phone and the router that gets stuck to an IP address and the solution passes trough either connecting to a different hotspot or reseting the routers.

As it turns out for my situation is that the hospital has been having Internet issues. Perhaps all they need to do is reset the router. Considering I'm hooked up to several machines, I'll continue to use my mobile data.

MiniCM 10- V5.1 Tethering not working

Hello guys
I'd like to ask if anyone of you came across this issue? Tethering doesn't seem to work. When I check WiFi AP mode it just stays at "Turning on WiFi" and doesn't change at all. I can see this network on my laptop, but when I connect to it DHCP doesn't seem to work, and even setting IP address manually + DNS names doesn't solve problem. There is no AP mode icon on the top bar on the phone. There are also issues with the USB Thetering, I have to turn on and of it multiple times before it works. Once turned on it says it's on on the phone, but computer doesn't recieve proper IP adress and DNS servers.
Anyone had similar problems?
Sorry to post in here, but as I'm less than 10 posts I can't post in the ROM's native post

Yes, I noticed that in other thread which didn't load for me last time as I was using USB tethering while traveling with train so I had some service issues. Sorry to spam the board.
On the other hand, are there any plans to make miniCM on a base of 10.2CM? There are some features introduced in 10.2 like custom icons that I am interested in..
10.2 is not stable for our device... And the development has been abandoned.... So it's highly unlikely it would happen. But the devs are working on 4.4 so we should have that working soon.

HTC One Kitkat Wifi Problem

For all thos having wifi issues please read the following
I have recently upgraded my HTC One dual sim to Kitkat - latest firmware.
I also did a factory reset of the phone after the update
I am having problems connecting to certain routers via wifi - after some research i noticed that the problem occurs when the routers are set up to use WPA-PSK - as security. If you change this to WPA2 - the phone connects.
This is not much of an issue if i have asses to router settings - yet this is not the case in public areas.
I have sent an email to HTC on this - and i am still awaiting a response
