legit wifi hotspot issues

just wanting to know if anyone with legit wifi hotspot is having issues with staying connected. it seems i can only stay on a couple mins. then i have to manually restart the hotspot. plus, half the time, when i turn off the wifi hotpsot my phone reboots. the only success i have had is using usb tethering. flawless and fast. just not happy with other issues. anyone having the same things happening? Edit. Verizon said to try a couple things and if they don't work wee will try a new phone.

Anyone have this issue?

Was your phone previously rooted?

I had rebooting issues only when being rooted.

i'm having issues
I always have with wifi and the marektplace only. Don't know if that helps but I downloaded the superuser update from the marketplace and fixed my wifi for about half a day. It works on the internet fine so i don't think i've having the same issues as you mine only doesn't use wifi on the marketplace. Must be some binary thing.

Had the issue before rooting. Had issue after rooting too.

I had this issue when I unrooted my phone.
There were a few apps not working right and causing me problems after unrooting.
I backed up my apks, then did a factory reset selecting to format my internal media area.
I lost all my settings, but I never had that problem again.

Anyone else having major issues with wi-fi connectivity?

Just purchased the Atrix HD yesterday and when standing only 10 feet away from my router it constantly connects and disconnects. So far this has been the only issue for me. Any hacks yet for better wi-fi strength?

i dont know if its called att wifi app or att hotspot app but i disabled att hotspot app and after that i never had any problem with wifi!! there is a Starbucks real close to my house and they have att hotspot so when ever i drive around it would connect to att hotspot and i would have hard time connecting to my home wifi!! just go to your apps option inside settings find att hotspot and disable it since you cannot uninstall this app!! it might help!!:good:

I had same problem. The wifi turns off 2 seconds after I turn the wifi on. I did factory reset. After the reset, it seems it solve the problem but I had other issues so I did an exchange since it was with in 14 days of the purchase. I don't have that problem with the new HD.
Try doing factory reset....

Factory reset performed.. issue still exists. Maybe my 2nd AHD will be better.

I'm having the exact same problem. Mine will connect for a period of time then just starts a wifi boot loop, as I would describe it. It tries to connect endlessly and won't unless I'm right next to the router. A factory reset didn't fix it either.

I never accepted the at&t wifi app agreement, so it was never running, but still had the same issue. It seems better now that its forced to 2.4ghz. I still have range issues. my Atrix 4G would show two bars of signal where the Atrix HD connects and disconnects constantly. Its like i have to be sitting right in front of the router to stay connected.

I wasn't having any issues last night after switching to 2.4 only. But when I woke up it was disconnected and wouldn't connect again til I was right by the router. Hopefully a software update fixes this issue.

I had this problem with the Atrix 2. Resetting my router solved the problem.

Wow, that's cool. Didn't move, switched to 2.4 only and my signal strength doubled and my speed seems noticeably better.
Now if this helps from oovoo and Skype constantly disconnecting life will be good. To be fair the inspire is also disconnecting at random too.

I had this problem as well - it dropped if my wi-fi was 2 bars or so, and it seemed to fluctuate. Tried the 2.4 only mode and it seemed to help a little, but I still lost connection frequently at only 2 bars. It would drop and look like wi-fi restarted and then connect again at 3 bars.

I took the phone back to costco and got a new one. The phone rep connected the new phone to his wifi. I walked to the other side of the warehouse and never lost connection. Came home and the phone has not disconnected once. Must have been a hardware issue.

WiFi connection issue...

I'm having an issue where I cannot stay connected to my WiFi network. Everytime I disconnect, I have to sign back in...it won't auto connect. I've tried multiple roms and kernels with the same result. Any quick fixes that yall know of?

Actually I have a problem with mine dropping WiFi all together. I know it is working because my husband's iPhone stays connected and it still works when mine has dropped. Lost 4 calls today because of that problem. Tried tinkering with the WiFi setting on the One between 2.5 ghz and 5 ghz and auto. Makes no difference. Connection lasts maybe 5 or 10 minutes then it disconnects. If you have a solution let me know.

Have you tried looking to see if your phone is actually saving the password? It is saved in the following location;
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Open this file up using a file explorer with root capabilities. Is your network SSID and password in there?

It is saving it because all I do to get it back on
Is turn off WiFi and turn it back in again. Then it works for five minutes or so. And I looked at the link that was provided above and made sure I had WiFi on always power saver off etc. See what it does tonight.

Sorry, my response was directed towards the OP. Should have made that clearer.
Sometimes dropped connections with android phones comes from having your router set to 'auto' for channel selection. If yours is this setting, try changing it to a fixed channel. Use the app Wi-Fi Analyzer to find a clear channel.

Well I contacted HTC, and I did the steps ad posted above and so far no problem. Of course it will probably happen after I post this knock on wood. Didn't have to do what HTC said below since it works now but will definitely do it if the problem persists. I also uninstalled a battery widget because one of the posts said to try that also.
We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the Wi-Fi connection on your HTC One and can certainly provide some assistance to help resolve the issue.
To start, we will need to check a setting on the device. From the Home screen, access Settings>Wi-Fi>Menu>Advanced. Make sure the DLNA Auto-IP is disabled. Also, I know you have also changed it prior but set the Wi-Fi frequency band to 2.4 GHz. We will need test the combination to see if there is any difference.
If needed, we will need to make sure there is not an issue with the phone trying to get through your network’s security. For this, we will first need to remove the network from the phone. Access Settings>Wi-Fi then tap and hold on the name of the network to select Forget Network. Once done, reboot the phone and temporarily remove the security from the network. It should be open with no password and the SSID being broadcast. This is only temporary so we can test the phone to see if the same thing continues with an unsecured network. Once this is tested, you can add the security back to the network.
We would also recommend testing the phone with other public networks to see if you still having issues with the connection.
Feel free to reply should you have any further questions, Christina. If you feel more comfortable discussing issues by phone, you can contact Technical Support at 1-866-449-8358, 8 am to 1 am ET, 7 days a week.

Having the same issue with the wifi. Connection is erratic even if I am in the same room as the router/superhub. I went to the store today and they tested it there as well. They uninstalled some power saving apps and it seemed to work ok but at home same issues. Loosing connection when surfing and if I leave the room no connection at all.
Will have to get back to the store tomorrow to get it replaced.

Yea man...I remember you...haha. The One is bringing a lot of good people over from what I've been seeing.
As far as using an international ROM, yes I am....was using Trickdroid, but now I'm trying out AndroidRevolution 8.0...same issue. Next time I flash another Rom, I'll try the international setting instead of the ATT setting. Wouldn't I have to change the APN if I did that, or does that setting adjust something else?

Nah I didn't have to change anything. I get average 15-25 meg lte speed. A lot of guys were having the WiFi passwords reset on boot with the att package checked in aroma. From what I've seen the only difference with international & att is the signal icons. I had to switch because WiFi tether wasn't working under att.

Day two and WiFi still going good! Have no clue why it was doing it the first day I did it. Just turned power saver off. WiFi on during sleep always. Removed my battery widget. Rebooted phone, no problems since.

I sometimes have the same wifi problem. I think I have to wait untill there is a software fix.
UPDATE: I bought a new router (<with wifi support 2G and 5G) and all my problems are solved.

[Q] Weird Wi-fi issue

I love this phone but have one strange concern, I've noticed that it likes to say my Wi fi is unstable yet I know it's perfectly stable has anybody seen this or experience it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Yes. I have similar problems with my wifi if I have it attached to my 5GHz wireless network that I know works fine.
It is particularly bad if the router is in N+AC mode.
Once I switched onto a 2.4GHz wireless network I haven't had the problem since.
For whatever reason my note 3 wifi has been really flaky on 5GHz.
I brought this up in the stupid questions thread a few days ago.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app

I got this error a lot the first couple of days. I played with the wifi settings a lot, and it seems to have "settled" down.
I was getting "unstable" error sitting feet away from my router. However, I just walked around 200 feet away from wifi at work and noticed it was still connected.
Edit:spoke too soon. Doing the same thing now.

the weird thing is is that it never loses the connection and my wifi speeds stay consistent at 64mbps

I get it a lot... I tried it with my 5g and it happens once or twice a day. The 2.4 ghz is even worse it happens about 7-10 times a day. I used my MiFi and it was 3 ft from my phone and it did it as well. Not sure the cause.. I have auto switch and Bluetooth off
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk now Free

This has happen to me a few times also. When It happened I looked at the connection in settings and it says very strong........but yet unstable...that doesn't make sense.

yea this happened to me..never had a wifi issue on any device but I refreshed my modem & router now all is good

If you disable this, it will stop prompting you about that and will also stay connected to not so great WiFi (if you have crappy WiFi).

All wifi has unstable times. What ahent929 said to do is correct.
This phone is designed to detect a drop in the signal. That's why it says it's unstable. Even if you have the absolute best router in the world, keep in mind the other radio frequencies that are passing through yours as well vis a vis.

It should more than help, it should correct it for good and not pop up anymore about unstable anything.

Can't connect to wifi

So this was mentioned and never solved. But when I try to connect to my network I get " network disabled, because the connection is to slow" what else can I do to fix this. I actually called at&t and I did a master reset. So I connected to Starbucks wifi after. Which previously I wasn't able to before doing the master reset. But when I got here to my house. It wouldn't connect it keeps giving me this error. What can I do ?
