Hi all, I have an annoying issue with my HTC m9. When I come home sometimes it will not connect to my wifi router until I restart the phone. I have tried turning wifi on and off, turning airplane mode on and off, and still no go. Only when I reboot can I connect to the router.
Tried DHCP and static same issue.

I have a Tilt with the stock AT&T ROM and HardSPL. I keep the HSDPA data on all the time and connect to my wireless access point while at home.
I understand and am fine with wifi disconnecting in sleep mode - email still checks using HSDPA. What normally happens is when I power the Tilt back from sleep the WiFi connects back to my access point.
I've noticed more than a few times however that coming out of sleep WiFi doesn't even attempt to reconnect to the access point. It is on in Comm Manager and appears to be associated with my AP, but checking the IP online shows an AT&T IP addr, not my CATV provider.
The only way to get back on WiFi is to shut off the phone (or reset). I don't want to keep WiFi on while in standby, I just want it to reconnect when it should.
Has anyone seen this behaviour?
Cheers,
Todd
Wifi access point problem
I had a problem where suddenly after months of use with my home wifi router, it suddenly would not connect with the router anymore. Would show that it was trying to connect, and then would suddenly not connect and try another router on the list.
I tried reseting and everything. Tried re-entering the password for my router as I thought that was the problem. finally the only fix i found to work was to actually delete the access point from the phone... then reset and then let it find it all over again from scratch. And miraculously that time it worked.
I know this is not exactly your problem, but hope it helps.
I will try that and see what happens. It seems whatever sub-routine that turns the wifi on isn't running at times and doesn't even attempt to search.
When I reboot my Captivate, my Rosewill RNX-EasyN4 router reboots also. When the Captivate tries to connect to Wifi that is when the router reboots. This only happens after I reboot the phone. When I just turn off Wifi and then turn it back on, the router is fine. Even if I turn off the Wifi for a while and turn it back later, the router has no problems. Has anyone experienced this problem before? I am running Serendipity 6.3. I think it was happening when I was running stock also, but I am not 100% sure.
Sounds like your router is flakey. Rebooting the Captivate should not cause a reboot of your router. Check the Rosewill website and see if they have updated firmware for your router. That may solve the problem.
I have the latest firmware on the router dated 2010.07.15. I do not think it is a problem with the router because I have multiple notebooks, a PS3, and a wireless printer connected to it. Only the Captivate causes it to reboot.
Turn off wifi before you reboot.

Tried that already. Once I turn Wi-Fi back on, the router reboots.
Ok, try power cycling the router. 2) try the fxr wifi fix from the market.

Tried power cycling already. Installed and ran the FXR Wifi Fix, but that did not help. I went back to try your original suggestion, turn Wi-fi before reboot. Normally I have Flight mode turned on and Wi-fi enabled. When I reboot Wi-fi is disabled. So I assumed that rebooting with Flight mode on was the same as turning Wi-fi off. But I just tried it and they are not the same. When I manually turn off Wi-fi and reboot, it does not cause the router to reboot. The problem seems to be that when I reboot with Wi-fi on the phone is still in the router's WLAN Client Table. And when the phone tries to reconnect while the router thinks the phone is still connected, it causes it to reboot. At least now I can work around it. Thanks for your help.

Are you by any chance using a wireless N router? I've found that my Bionic will reboot my router every time I try to connect, not just on reboots. But if I turn off the wireless N and just use B+G on my router the phone works fine.
I'm using GT P7300 (3G+Wifi) with ROM stock 3.2 (NO rooted). I used wifi connection at home for few hours with no problem. However, after I woke up my tab from sleep mode, if I wanted to go on using wifi, I always had to reconnect it although I already chose "Never" in "Wi-Fi sleep policy". That means when my tab is in sleep mode, there is no wifi connection anymore so can't push mail or online chatting during sleep mode.
After waking up from sleep mode, I see my tab still connect with the router (still see the wifi name) but the signal bar is in white color (normally it should be blue) and cannot use Internet. I have to reconnect wifi to make it work.
I also have Laptop, Blackberry PlayBook, LG Optimus but none of them get this issue.
Any suggestion? Tkz
Maybe its router security
Next to my galaxy tab we have a Zenithink chinatab which had the same problem. Forum told me this might have to do with your WiFi security.
I took there advice and switched my routers from WPA/WPA2 mode to only WPA2 mode. Never had the problem after that and it was allready like that when I got my P7310 and never had any WiFi issues with it either. Don't know how you configured your router, but maybe you have the same.
Also if you use MAC security, not all routers are as forgiving. So try turning that off to see if it makes any difference.
All of a sudden beginning yesterday my captivate can no longer connect to the wifi network at work. Other users can connect to the network fine and I'm able to see the network from my phone and connect to other networks just fine but when I try to connect to the work network it just shows connecting with the round circle containing 2 curved arrows and then disconnected, scanning, and connecting again.
I have stock 2.3.5 and have tried wifi fixing apps and power cycling without success... Basically I'm stuck at the point of a hard reset unless anyone has any other suggestions for why I'm unable to access one specific wifi channel all of a sudden...
Thanks!
I meet wifi problem like yours, cause of the poor network switcher. After switcher reboot, phone can connect it.
Try Airplane mode on the phone, or switching WiFi on and off. Rebooting router helps too - but probably not an option at work.
It's the router/access point. Reboot that and all is good.
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.
