Areet,
I've searched all over and cannot find any info on this problem. My WiFi icon only ever shows one bar, even when my phone is literally sitting ontop of my router. It's the same on the six other routers I have connected it to. I get great signal strength and data speed, but the icon never shows more that the one bar.
Anyone else got this problem?
Cheers,
BS...

So, my dad and i both have the Atrix. However his is the one with the problem. There are times when he connects the wifi then both the wifi bars and phone signal bars go white and he cant access the internet at all. However if he turns off wifi the phone signal bars turn blue and he can access the internet. This happens to him in a couple of places one of them being our home. It happens to him whilst I can be doing the same thing and all my bars are blue. What could be happening?
Hey guys,
Just updated my SGS2 to ICS (see screen shot for version details). While im still getting used to a few of the changes, i have noticed a reasonably annoying bug which is causing my wifi at home to drop out. The phone will not hold a stable connection.
I updated my phone while at work, then when i got home it did connect to my network with no hassle, but after a little while (maybe 30 mins) i noticed that i kept getting notifications that i have connected to my home network. so it seems that a connection to the home wifi network is made, then lost, then found and re-established, then lost again. I have observed the 're-connection' can be as frequent as every 30 seconds, but sometimes it will hold the signal for up to 10 minutes.
the wifi signal strength is strong, as i do sit quite close to the router.
does anyone have any similar issues to me? Anyone know of a solution?
Thanks heaps for any help.
ps: you will notice from the screen shot that i have installed Wifi Fixer from the market, this did not help stabilize my connection.
Thanks again.
hmmm
Have you tried manually setting your network values?
I was having this issue as well using my phone in DHCP mode, but when I assigned a static IP, it worked great.
On a side note, what router are you using?
Gday mate,
thanks a lot for the reply. I changed the IP setting to static, though i didnt have to assign one. does that sound right?
Anyway, it seems to have improved the stability - i havent noticed any more drop-outs. Ill keep and eye on it and let you know.
I'm pretty sure the router is a Netgear DGN-2000, but ill confirm that. We also use a WIFI booster.
Thanks again for your help mate.
Same problem I think
My phone got ICS recently. It worked no problem in my sister's flat but now in my aunt's place. Doesn't work, it will connect with the router. It will work for about a minute and that's it. No more internet but still connected. They use a booster as well and this problem of wifi connection issues is common it seems.
They only way I've found ti help the problem, forget network, clear internet cache in applications and restart the router
Ok... I have been having the most bizarre wifi issue with my HTC One S. I have had this issue before with another phone. So it might not be the phone....it could just be my wireless router.
The problem is that I have no problem whatsoever connecting to wifi... But connecting to wifi, and getting data throughput isn't everything one needs.
When you connect through the wifi, you still need to connect to one or more of the following: (I) the mobile network riding over (or encapsulated in) the TCP packets, (ii) you need to connect to the Google network (or this may just be part of your data connection) in order for G+, gmail, talk, etc. to work.
On a great old CM7 theme I once had, the status bar was SO helpful because while the wifi was connected, I would see the wifi icon fully filled and white. But when it actually connected to the network, it turned blue
I looked around for something like this, but to no avail. Anyone have an idea how to change this or find a mod for it?
Sent from my HTC One-S (rooted), stock ROM
When I have one bar of signal its pretty much impossible to do anything online and with a 2 bar signal it can be hit or miss, browse the web, update apps, use a tether etc, the connection to the server just fails.
Using my old LG GT540 I could do anything online with a low signal although it was a little slow, I was wondering if anyone else had seen this, and if they have is the cause known, it could be my network I'm just trying to work out if its the phone.
It can show a HSDPA signal but data just doesn't get transmitted, I have also seen the HSDPA signal completely drop out before now with a 1 bar signal. Also has anyone seen it before the LFB update, but haven't after the update?
Im currently running latest paranoidandroid ROM and it seems that several times a day my signal and data goes color grey, while im in this status, i cannot receive any whatsapp or any connection whatsoever, i can receive calls tho.
Any idea how can i fix this ?
PD: same thing happened with latest rootbox ROM
I've noticed the same on multiple ROMs. It will be grey for a second or two then turn blue. I assumed it just meant it was in the process of connecting (e.g. wifi authorizing etc).
If for example I am connecting to a hotspot at Starbucks, I can connect to the wifi and the wifi bars will be grey. Then once I "login" to the Starbucks wifi where you agree to the terms and conditions, it gives you full internet access. That's when my bars turn blue.
It might be similar to the "limited connectivity" you get in Windows, connected to the network but with no internet access.
Though I might be completely wrong

Well yeah, actually, in my case, this does not only happen when connecting to wifi, it does happen at random times of the day. This is kind of annoying cause i lose data conectivity for a while and am unable to receive any kind of internet-related notification. :S
Anyone ?
My signal and Wi-Fi bars turn blue only when they're full. If i lose one bar they will turn grey. I lost Wi-Fi connectivity when I put to sleep my phone and fixed it by changing the keep connected while suspended in the advanced settings.
