Got an AT&T Titan today.
It seems to have wi-fi problems. I've connected it to my wi-fi network but frequently the phone refuses to *re-*connect to it. It can see the wi-fi access point and shows it with full signal strength but "forgets" to reconnect. When I tap on the connection in the list in wi-fi settings it will usually connect but sometimes will put up the popup saying that it could not connect.
I do not have this issue with any other device on the network (and I have many). I suspect that this related to the issue being reported on the other thread in this forum, that the phone starts to prefer 3G over wi-fi even when wi-fi is connected. There's a similar issue with the Radar.
Anyone find a way to work around this, maybe with some magic settings on the wi-fi access point?
Edit: maybe my AP? I'm trying a different one to compare.
Exactly the same problem here.. Wifi is unstable as hell, when it's been on for some house.. You never know if and when it's gonna connect again.. HTC drivers
No problems with WiFi here. My connection is always stable even when switching to other networks.

Update: I've done a few things with my wi-fi AP and at least one of these measures seems to have helped, as I've not seen the problem since:
* Turned off 802.11b/g/n, turned on 802.11g only
* Turned off QoS
* Changed wi-fi channel to 5
* Added a second AP also set to 802.11g only (same SSID, channel 8)
According to the phone's wi-fi signal strength display I shouldn't have needed the second AP, but with it I definitely have a much stronger signal all over my house. BandWidth shows a speed bump from ~5M to around ~10M.
So maybe the Titan is very sensitive to signal strength? Or doesn't like 802.11n. Or maybe it just doesn't like the Belkin router I have.
I'll be trying this at work tomorrow to get even more data points. I use this thing on GoPhone and so non-reliable wi-fi --> the Titan is going back.
This seems to be a common bug. Mine is doing the same. It can be helped by disabling the data connection in mobile settings while you want to use the WiFi. Not a solution, more of a workaround but it bodes well for a software fix I'd guess.
I think this phone's wi-fi is working but is extremely sensitive to fringe wi-fi signal and/or channel interference.
Since I added a second AP in my house and adjusted the channels to avoid conflicts with the neighbors (using a wi-fi analyzer on a tablet), I have not seen this at home.
At work I've only seen this happen once, and it was near a doorway (where the wi-fi signal presumably is at its weakest in the building).
Mine seems to have developed this problem after installing the latest update from HTC (still on 7720). This happens even with the 3G turned off..
Hopefully it will be fixed in the next update because it is quite annoying!
hard reset makes a difference
so i spent a bit of time with htc support. they recommended hard resetting as others had warned me. in the end i got so fed up with it i tried it and actually the phone is much better on wifi right now. i totally cleared out zune too and reset everything i could think of. one thing i had on before was wireless sync. decided not to bother this time. no idea if it's the culprit but are you guys having problems using wireless sync by any chance?
si
I have also been experiencing the same issue with the AT&T titan. My old Focus works great. I know that HTC had some problems with the using spoofed MAC addresses and maybe the fix has something to do with it. HTC is a great company, but it seems to take them a few versions to get their code clean.
I manually pushed 7440 to my phone and I am not sure if it is related, but I have not experienced the WIFI issue since. The patch does not mention anything about WIFI and since it is likely a driver issue, probably a wild goose chase, but...
This thread has the instruction in case you want to try:

I take it back. Just got home and the problem still exists.

The problem persisted for me too after 7740. Still behaving at the moment after the hard reset. Fingers crossed it stays that way.
Guys the definite solution to all connectivity issues, marketplace and sharing issues can be rectified by hard reset. I know in absence of back up apps it might not be the best option for some. But guys that has solved my ever I going issue with marketplace downloads. Also I realised real performance update that came along with 7740 update only after the hard reset. It took me an hour to re add all my 8 accounts, sync back my photos and music and re add my 131 apps but in the end I am problem free and super smooth since last 29 hours. Oh and if you do a hard reset then don't add windows live ID during phone set up. Do it without id and when it loaded, restart phone. After one restart add live account manually. I think that saves some sort of log file corruption.

Hard reset does not solve the w-fi issue being discussed on this thread.
The Titan is very sensitive to signal strength and sometimes refuses to reconnect wi-fi because if that.
My WiFi password key index was set to 2. But I cannot figure out how to make this happen on my Titan (maybe all WP7 device is the same). Yes I can change the key index to 1 on AP but that means I have to reset all WiFi enabled devices.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
I've had my AT&T Titan for a couple of days and am definitely having this issue. My wi-fi connection does not hold, and when I look at my phone it is often searching to connect back to the wi-fi network. It always connects, but it doesn't seem to hold the connection. Which means it must also be draining battery? I switched from the Focus, and I never had this issue with the Focus on the same wi-fi networks. I am running OS version 7.10.7720.68. I'm not seeing any solutions here, am I missing one?

What I think is that I have spent countless hours downloading, installing and setting up all the apps I had on my Focus, and I'm still not done, and I really don't want to do that all again less than a week later.
Tried the hard reset. No luck.
Got another HTC response advising that I remove any cases I may have on the phone. Has anybody had any luck with wireless G v. N?

Tried a wireless G router. No better. I've noticed that when I get it working its just a matter of time before WiFi data stops.

I've done a quick search of this forum and [ALARMINGLY] can't find a solution (or any references) to a continualy cycling reboot on my daughter's day-old Sony Tablet S.
What's happening is, the system boots, I see the unlock screen for a few seonds and then it reboots again!! No time to do anything.
The power button (in combination with either of the volume buttons) doesn't do anything when the boot animation is being displayed. And the reset button (in the tiny hole) simply turns the tablet off, but the cycling reboots start again when powered back on.
Just so you know, I have owned and used the Morotola Xoom since August 2011, so do have some experience with Android Honeycomb, but nothing like this. Oh, and I have not attempted to root either machine.
Here's what I believe is the cause: I was copying a file off a network share (using a third party file manager), but it was VERY slow. The transfer mustn't've finished when I turned the tablet off (completely) for the night.
Therefore, I assume it is trying to resume the transfer, but there is a problem (possibly the WiFi connection is slow to connect). Nevertheless, I would have thought Andorid was more robust than to simply reboot... an error message would be a bit more "professional" and much more welcome than a cycling reboot that does not allow me to do a F%^&$#G thing about it!!
PLEASE HELP or point me to a forum that may be able to.
Thanks in advance.
Wow. That tablet is toast. Something must have been corrupted when you turned it off.
My girlfriend had an HTC Sensation 4G that had similar problems the day she bought it. HTC and our cell provider gave us the run around denying responsibility. We rooted it and flashed a new ROM which completely fixed it though. In your case for the Tablet S this solution is impossible as the tablet hasn't been rooted yet.
Return it to the store asap and tell them it's not working properly!
Have you tried the reset button on the side underneath the volume button. Just stick a pin in thhere and hopefully voila.
Let us know if that works.

Yeah, mightyfo, I did. Thanks for your reply, though.
Anyway, I have attempted a few more "fixes". Among them was to delete the partial/currupted files from the SD card, without result. Then, for some reason, I turned off my WiFi access point, and, bugger me, the tablet booted! I turned the WiFi back on to be certain it was responsible for the problem and, yes, the reboot cycling started again.
Obviously, I turned off the WAP again, booted the tablet and killed the saved connection. Once I turned the WAP back on, I re-established the connection and the tablet has behaved ever since!
Just so you know, I did have the latest System update (v3.2.x) when all this was going on...
Makes me wonder if it is an Andorid issue, or something Sony have done while tinkering with Andorid. I just hope my findings can help someone else in the future.
Sounds like you need to do a system reboot.
Comprehensive explanation of the problem
Please take a look at the following very thorough explanation of the underlying cause of the reboot problem:
[Can't post links] Search for "android stops renewing lease" in Google and select the Princeton link (should be top of list).
My fix was to turn off the WiFi AP (to stop the reboots), delete ("forget") the connection and then set a static IP outside my DHCP range.
Hope this helps someone else...
Howdy! I peruse the forums quite a bit to figure out little fixes for my phone, but there are a couple problems that I haven't quite been able to find proper solutions for.
The first problem deals with the phone randomly shutting down (usually only when it's in my pocket). I've seen other posts regarding the topic, but the OPs usually stated that simply holding the power button would effectively turn the phone back on, or that the phone doesn't shutdown but rather reboots. My phone completely shuts down and requires that I take the battery out, wait 10-15 seconds, put it back in, and then hold the power button for an extended period of time in order for the phone to start up. The battery doesn't get extremely hot. It's usually around ~33-35C when it does this, but when I look at some of the other posts with similar problems, their batteries are ranging withing ~38-42C. I have seen that it may be a faulty battery, as shown in the other posts, but as I mentioned my problem is slightly different.
The second problem deals with streaming videos on browsers. Before the ICS update, I was able to stream videos on any browser, but after that OTA update I cannot. I have tried multiple browsers, including Dolphin, Firefox (my main browser), and Opera. I heard it may have to do with flash not supporting android anymore (after 4.0.x, whereas I'm only running 4.0.3), but I have checked my phone and I have Flash 11.1 already installed. The settings on my browsers are to enable plug-ins on tap (means that I would tap a video to start it, right?).
Lastly, as of now, I'm having a WiFi issue. It's not so much of an issue as a hindrance, though. Basically, I'm pretty much always in a WiFi zone, either being at home or on campus. When I get home from uni, WiFi automatically connects, no problem. When I'm at the uni, it will connect as soon as I get on campus, but when I walk from building to building, it loses connection and makes me reconnect. I go to hit reconnect, and it demands some credential password which I have never set. If I hit forget so that I can forget and reconnect to the network, it wants me to put in my screen unlock pattern. I draw the pattern to unlock it, but then it sort of refreshes and my pattern is gone and it doesn't let me continue with the process, so I have to go back to the home screen, back into settings, and clear credentials. Some posts said to continue to input incorrect passwords to allow a credential storage password reset, but that did not work. Some posts said to clear credentials, so I do that, but then I have to continuously type my login information whenever I move from class to class, which gets pretty irritating. The only way to connect to the WiFi is by disabling and reenabling the WiFi. Like I said, it's not a huge issue, rather a hindrance.
As for my phone specs, I'm not really a super tech so I haven't messed with anything. The phone is not rooted and is running Android 4.0.3. It is, however, unlocked, and I'm running it on ATT's network if that makes a difference.
Let me know if I've posted in the wrong section or anything, and if I have, I apologize. I'm not one for posting on forums, rather one to creep around and hopefully find solutions.
Thanks for your time.
Hi there.
I also want to join this topic:
1. my HTC amaze also shuts down randomly.
2. but the main thing is: can anybody help me with this WiFi issue? I can connect and use WiFi in the street, at McDonald's, at different places with public WiFi, but when it comes to connect to WiFi at my home or at other places where the WiFi is PASSWORD PROTECTED, my phone jams the network and i have to turn off WiFi on the phone and restart the WiFi router to have everything working again.
Somebody, please help
thanks in advance.

Since you are stock, the only thing being that your phone is unlocked, I would say this is either a config issue or a HW issue. The simplest thing to do is to clean the battery contacts, as there is a small chance that something got on them and is causing the battery to drop out. You can also look at the battery meter in the settings menu and see if you have a sudden drop in battery power or if it entirely cuts out. May give some clues to what's going on. Finally the only other thing I can think of is to uninstall any apps that save power or mess with the power settings on the phone.

Streaming video doesn't work for me, it will for a couple seconds and then die. So now I just open all links in the youtube app, which isn't perfect but it's good enough.

This has got to be either a config issue or a bug in how your phone handles your uni's wifi. Your uni will have multiple wifi APs with the same SSID (but on different channels) so that you can walk around and still remain connected. My guess is that there is a bug in the wifi drivers that don't like what your uni is doing, but it's really hard to say since that stuff is generally pretty complicated...
If you can't get your power issue fixed easily I would recommend you factory reset your phone. Don't install any apps for a couple days and see if your problems persist. If the power one does then take your phone in for warranty repair. The wifi one could be a bug, which would mean a warranty repair isn't going to do anything for that so you may be screwed on that one. Unless you want to hack your phone and load a new ROM; there is a slim chance that an updated ROM will not have the same bug.

Thank you very much for the in depth reply. I'll take a look at the battery connections some time tomorrow as it's pretty late today. Do you have any recommendations as what to clean them with? I heard erasers are pretty good cause they have the "stickiness" to pick up grime, but wouldn't the rubber inhibit connectability?
The video thing isn't too big of an issue, but eh, a fix would be nice. If there's nothing that's known of atm, that is fine as well.
As for the WiFi, I didn't know if it was a bug or something I could fix internally. It's good to know, though, that it's not something I seem to have messed up myself haha.
Once again, I greatly appreciate the response!

The contacts won't be corroded because they are gold, however it could be either they aren't springy (ie they got bent) or that something is stuck on them. Just take a look, make sure they look fine and that they are making a good connection. It's most likely not the issue but you just want to rule that out, as it would obviously cause problems if your battery was being disconnected
So, as an update, I managed to fix the battery issue by actually turning my phone around in my pocket (Strangely enough, I found that if I keep the screen away from the leg and the power button facing up, rather than the screen towards my leg, the phone does not turn off.). All that's left is to find a fix for the video and WiFi. The WiFi problem has actually started to become more significant, as WiFi is no longer automatically connecting to my home internet anymore. Sometimes at uni, as well, the phone requires a complete reboot before it will reconnect rather than a WiFi off -> WiFi on reset. Any more input would be greatly appreciated ^.^

Battery
I don't know why changing how the phone is situated in your pocket would solve the issue unless you were somehow unknowingly keeping the power button pressed down for long periods of time.
I will say I had the same issue and my suspicions lead me to the battery. Indeed, I bought a new battery and the issue has been resolved. There must have been some sort of short or default in the battery I was using that would cause my phone to randomly shut down or reboot..
Hi,
This morning I randomly decided to update my firmware (as per Sony's incessant reminders). I updated to 17.1.1.A.0.402, as it was what Sony's updating app was telling me the latest firmware was. I updated as instructed on my tablet, wirelessly. The update was successful and totally uneventful -- no incidents whatsoever.
However, immediately after my update, my wifi dropped, and after that, I couldn't reconnect to *any* wifi network whatsoever. I toggled on/off, and the wifi would reconnect for a matter of seconds, maximum 2-3 minutes before dropping and never reconnecting again. To reconnect to wifi, I'd have to toggle off/on again and then would have seconds to try and load a page (but would never succeed)
So, I updated the firmware again, this time using the update application for the Mac since my tablet could no longer connect to wifi.
I successfully updated to 17.1.2.A.0.314.
Still the same wifi dropping and not coming back issues.
Then I tried "repairing" my software from the Mac, which I'm lead to believe erases everything and flashes with the most recent firmware.
Still had the same wifi issues.
Then I tried an erase/factory reset directly from the tablet.
I still have the same wifi issues, but they don't kick in within seconds anymore. Now after several minutes, the wifi will drop and not come back.
Any suggestions for a fix? I'm as of yet unrooted, and would like to remain that way if possible...
Thanks!
I would suggest a factory reset after flashing the update. Might solve your problem.
Before that you could try to delete your Wi-Fi and set it up again...

Thanks for your help
"Repairing" from this Mac app is flashing the update, correct? It erased and then flashed anyway. Had to set up the tablet like it was new. Is that not a factory reset?
In any case, I did a factory reset immediately afterwards, from the settings screen of the tablet, as mentioned above.
By "delete your wifi" do you mean "forget" the networks I'm trying to connect to? If so, I've done that many times, and have had to re set up my wifi networks anyway upon each factory reset/flash/erase.
So I think I tried what you suggested, and no dice, unless I've misunderstood?
Perhaps worth noting: I'm using the accompanying Sony Bluetooth keyboard.
Wifi seems to stick around a bit longer when Bluetooth is toggled off (no keyboard), though I could use the Sony keyboard before the update, no problem at all.
Yes that was what I ment.
Sorry it didn't help solving your problem.
Seems like you should call Sony.
It's the Bluetooth. Wifi and Bluetooth are on the same chip and won't work at the same time. It's a hardware fault with pretty much every Android system I've used. Turn off the Bluetooth and your wifi will be fine.
Thanks for your reply – though it was possible to use the bluetooth keyboard at the same time as wifi before the update.
Bluetooth keyboards would be pretty pointless if you couldn't use wifi at the same time as you use the keyboard, wouldn't they?
Between the Sony Xperia Z2 tablet, a Samsung Galaxy Tab S, and an iPad, I've used all with bluetooth keyboards + wifi without issues (until this firmware update on the Z2).
Use 5GHz Wifi, then the problem will be solved.
Sounds like you have been lucky so far and due to the small amount of data a bluetooth keyboard transmits. Bluetooth headphones are always transmitting as is wifi when watching hd youtube videos. They will always interfere with each other, but only every minute or so. Google the problem and you'll see its pretty universal.

Hi, here's my experience with my Z2 tablet, unrooted. I too have had wifi problems: after using the tablet fine for a while, with a strong signal, the tablet drops out, then wifi access stalls whilst "Obtaining IP address". I sometimes use a Bluetooth Microsoft keyboard, but have had the wifi drop out when I have Bluetooth off.
The only reliable (so far) solution I have found is to move to a static IP address. Not ideal, and perhaps not much help when travelling, but an OK workaround for a home or other wifi network where you have admin access to the router.
Hope that helps. Apologies if my newbie post is naive.
Hey.
So I for the past month of so, my phone has been getting this weird issue where the network will suddenly cut and I'll be left with signal but no Data... It happens at very weird and pattern like intervals... What I mean is that it can happen when I'm using my phone. It can also happen on its own when my phone is in my pocket... Strange. If I manage to get home for example without it happening I can sometimes manage to turn on WiFi and the day afterwards when I leave Data still works. Now the only way I have found of fixing it is to Reboot my phone completely...
I have tried it on different Roms and even different Versions! So it seems to be a configuration problem? But I've wiped my phone between those Rom changes and I change quite often (Titanium, simply the best app on the entirr play store).
So it's very annoying and I can't figure out the pattern or what causes. I hope someone will be able to help.
Thanks!
+1 on that.
If anyone can elaborate, that would be very nice.
