I am running the latest and last beast that X release, with his kernal as well.
My home wifi is open but the SSID is not broadcasted. It takes at least 5 minutes for my phone to connect to the network, even if I "forget" it and set it up as a new connection.
Any thoughts on what is going on. My wifes stock sensation has no issue, nor my laptop, ect
anyone??????
I used Juice Defender with the force connect to Wi-Fi. I didn't have an issue, but never really tried without it.

I tried juice as well, I every time I turned my screen on I would get a "login success" message, never could figure out what it was for, but it went away when i stopped using JD

So I had my phone up and running, wifi running great. For giggles I click on the Mobile hotspot feature even though I don't have that service. It disables my wifi and tells me the feature is unavailable. I turn my wifi back on and it turns off immediately. I've tried restarting the phone to no avail.
Has anyone run into something similar yet? Please help, the "4G" is slower than 3G on my old backflip (not really haha)
I did the same thing and I don't have that problem.
I assume you're rooted?

Yup, one of the first things I did.
My wifi was dropping out using 802.11n. I took away all encryption and made the router invisible by disabling the broadcasting and the connection has been fast and reliable.

well I think the issue is with my phone since wifi doesn't work with any router (home or work). In fact, the wifi wont stay on long enough to try and connect to a network, it just turns off as soon as it turns on.
That happened to my rooted and ROMed Captivated a while back, and it still wont connect to certain towers here on campus.
Try deleting all wifi settings from the phone/ and resetting the router and starting over.
Rooted/ROM Captivate
Rooted Atrix
That's apparently normal for the phone. If you try to enable a hotspot and you don't have that on your bill, WiFi gets disabled.
I scanned this forum before creating this post and I'm pretty sure there isn't one already out there but please don't flame me if there is. I couldn't find any and I spent a good 30 minutes last night, trying to find something like this.
I purchased a used HTC Rezound recently but was unable to get 4G LTE to stay ON. I surfed various forums for a possible fix but couldn't find anything that I hadn't already tried.
This morning, I think I might have found a work-around. Here's what I did.
After activating the line and being able to get sporadic 4G LTE signal on the device, I went into the wifi settings on a hunch that maybe some unexplicable interaction was happening between wifi and the 4G radio. Wifi kept wanting to turn itself on and I kept fighting it by turning it off.
I located my home network and clicked 'forget network'. Once I did that, I went back to make sure wifi was OFF and that Mobile (data) was ON and WHAMMO!! Immediately, the 4G LTE indicator popped back on and I've been rocking 4G for about 2 hours now, without a single blip. I've watched an entire episode of 24 on Netflix in an area of my house where I've confirmed that I have a weak signal and still, no problems at all.
So my Question is this: Is there any other way to disable wifi without having to 'forget' the network when I want to use wifi? (Other than what might seem obvious by turning wifi OFF when I know that doesn't get rid of the 4G dropouts).
It's really only an inconvenience at this stage. All I'd have to do to connect is re-enter the password and since I don't use wifi when I'm at home because I have Unlimited Data, it's not really a big deal but it just seems that the OS on this phone was purposely designed in a way to take people OFF the 4G network when their phone is 'familiar' with a wifi system they're near.
======================== UPDATE ====================
There is no issue with the phone. The issue was an activation issue and I was able to eliminate the problem by trial and error. It turns out, the way I was able to get the device to connect had to do with re-seating the SIM. Once I did, the phone has been flawless in connectivity to both 4G LTE and wifi regardless of the combination of wifi settings. I hope this is useful to anyone reading the thread.
Is your Rezound stock or custom?
LTE will disable when WiFi is activated, most LTE phone does this by design. I have experienced where my Rezound's WiFi would want to turn on automatically on the clean rom, re-flashed and everything was good.
I personally never had issues with my Rezound. If fact, the Rezound has one of the best radios to date. The fact that HTC integrated the antenna into the battery case housing is what makes it a strong contender for receiving radio waves..

Go in advanced settings wifi settings (menu advanced settings)and disable the automatically turn on wifi setting. (Not exactly sure what its called as I hate sense and I'm not running it) but ull see it in advanced settings and then when u want to actually use wifi just enable wifi.
Problem solved

Well, I'm on stock ICS but rooted with S-OFF. The wifi, even when OFF kept wanting to turn ON by itself when I wanted it to stay on 4G. The only way I could get the phone to stay on 4G was to 'forget' my home network.
All is well now. Weird huh?

The Rezound has a poor shield on the 4g radio chip which causes interference in music. So, logically if stuff can get out, then wifi can come in and mess it up.
Dude read what I said and it will never automatically turn on again.
That's the reason it kept automatically turning it on. And if u haven't done what I said then regardless of you thinking its fixed it WILL turn on again by itself.

There's no such setting that I can find within the settings and I know which setting you're referring to. I saw it before on my Thunderbolt but for the life of me, I can't find it on the Rezound's menus. Anywhere. I looked several times. I'm pretty sure it's there. I just can't find it so the only way I could get the 4G to stay on and not have wifi automatically connect was to 'forget' the wifi network.

Found the menu. Still haven't gotten used to the four lines at the bottom of the scrern being the menu.
Here it is. Which setting would it be? I wasn't launching any apps when the problem appeared where wifi kept eanting to turn on. I just powered up the phone and couldn't get 4G.

Ive read many people complaining about LTE, but does anyone else have issues connecting to 3g? Almost always when I leave WiFi range my phone wont connect to 3g unless I restart entire phone.
Sometimes Ill pull out my phone at random places to use google search or something and Ill have full bars but no internet connection (Yes my mobile network is set to on).
This problem happens next to my girlfriends galaxy which works just fine.
Its driving me nuts!
Happens to me alllll the time. I have to turn off wifi to get my phone to connect to the mobile network. Otherwise I'll be 30 miles from home and still "Connected to Wifi"
I thought HTC fixed the Wi-Fi connectivity issue in the latest ota, or was that just the one x

Originally i had that issue on my EVO LTE. but after the updates its been fixed.
Ironically my GS3 started to not want to connect to 3G after it was in an LTE area..
So i have been using my ole reliable EVO LTE..
Well while writing this post my phone had its first crash but besides that I noticed while trying to run my cable providers brighthouse app my phone doesn't stay connected to WiFi. I'm only rooted an I only notices this one since I'm always on data

Do you have "avoid poor WiFi connections" and "connection priority mode enabled"? If so, un-check them. It works for me.
I actually just disabled the att WiFi thru the app I guess it puts it I. Sleep mode. I am not too worried looking to ROM out soon just wanted to get familiar with LG. Since this is my first. Just got a ill worried that the phone froze earlier while trying to write post.

not sure if this is the same as your issue, but some of us have noticed that the LGOG doesn't seem to toggle between networks (ie: from LTE to wifi or vise versa). toggling airplane mode or rebooting seems to correct it.

Read the thread but doesn't seem to be the same problem I'm experiencing. I was always use to having my phone auto connect to my wifi whenever i got home but that doesnt seem the case with the OG.

Sounds similar to my experience. I'll pick up the phone from time to time and notice that WIFI icon is off and it's on 4G. When I go to the Networks menu it shows my router but says "poor signal". Oh really? it's 18 inches away and every other wireless device stays connected rock solid. I've tried toggling Wireless off/on and Airplane mode off/on and the only way to get it to reconnect is a full reboot. I'm hoping this new release fixes it - if not, it's going back to ATT.

Rooted? Unlocked? ROM or kernel changed?
I just started having this same issue about a week ago not long after I flashed theBase 7.3, and kernelSk8 2.2.
I had this exact issue until I read somewhere on here about using the att smart WiFi app. It connects instantly when get home, haven't had a problem since.

bone stock for the time being - intend to root and flash a JB ROM as soon as a good one becomes available
Maybe Im going crazy, but I think Ive been noticing some very strange activity from my WIFI Radio.
Seems it is mysteriously turning ON at my house...
XT910 rooted stock rom.
Smart Actions disabled, I dont even have any configured.
Tasker uninstalled
Symptoms: I get home from work, Wifi is off. Wait a few hrs, check the phone again, WIFI enabled?!?!? It even happened before my very eyes once. This pisses me off because I have unlimited data plan and prefer to use 4G all the time (much faster than my home cable, Time Warner Cable)
A few weeks ago I see an advertisement about a new partnership between TWC and Verizon, and start thinking "Conspiracy
"
I know its possible to turn on wifi based on Cell Tower association (thanks Tasker).
The phone knows what my most common SSID is...
I see it as entirely feasible that some hidden crap could be going on where Verizon is trying to "help me save Mobile Data"
What you say XDA Razr Q/A forum. Am I losing it? Any ideas how I can track this down?
If you are on verizon with 4G LTE then your model is XT912, XT910 stands for international gsm razr.
About you question, I have the exact same problem sometimes with my razr's wifi going wild, it's not quite often so I never cared about, just reboot and goes normal.
By going wild I mean that even when I see it got on I turn it off and immediately gets on again in front if me no matter how many times I tap that damn on/off switch.

Mine too. Sometimes it happens after I switch the phone on. Wifi is on right away by default it seems and I have to try to turn it off a few times before it finally stays off.

Maybe you should try to go to WiFi-settings, and turn off the Auto-Connect WiFi feature.
It's debuted in JB builds.
