I searched and searched, but found nothing. When I have my laptop connected via the Wifi Hotspot, sometimes the connection will hang and then time out. If I simply wake the screen up 99% of the time it will begin to download the data and my web page will render on my computer. I am on ATT with Alien/Khlolks Kernel/.30p Radio. Does anybody else have this problem? It can be really annoying sometimes. Thank you
I dont have this problem with Wireless Tether.
Thanks a lot! I've been using the app you recommended and the speed and stability seem to be far better than the one packaged with the alien rom.
Its one of my favorite apps, and arguably the number one root app to have since it potentialy could save you $20/mo. There is a link in my signature to a list of root apps compatible with the Atrix if you are interested.
Hey Guys.
I seem to be experiencing strange issues with my T-Mobile Amaze 4G and was wondering if it is only me.
Before I continue, I just wanted to note that I already performed a Hard Reset and received the OTA update a couple of weeks ago with no change in the problem.
It seems that everything seems to work well as soon as I restart the phone...but after a while, I notice that my e-mails do not get refreshed/notified from the e-mail app unless I actually go into the app itself.
I have set the e-mail app to check for new messages every 15 minutes with no peak time defined....that is....it checked every 15 minutes all day any time of the day.
Second issue is with Wifi. It seems flaky and I find I must turn off/on Wifi periodically not matter were I am getting Wifi from (i.e. - Home, Work, Coffee Shop, etc...)
Is it just me having these strange issues?
Is there a fix for it?
Thank All.
I don't have email issues when I am connected to 2G/4G.
I do, however, have issues with WiFi. Specifically the corporate WiFi at my work. It just won't connect. It gets stuck in the authenticating/disconnecting loop. Very annoying as this is the only phone I have not been able to connect to the WiFi at work. All of my prior phones connected with no problems, e.g. Motorola Photon, HTC Evo 3D, HTC Touch Pro II (Sprint and T-Mobile versions), iPhone 3/3GS/4. All of them will connect but my Amaze won't.
Is this par for the course or could I have a bad Amaze, again? I am on my 2nd one by the way. The first one had the same auth/disco loop problem, too.
My WiFi connects at work when it feels like it, which isn't often. At home its just fine.
I have the same thing happen to me as well between Home and Work Wifi.
It would seem that Corporate Wifi systems usually require the "Use secure credentials" to be enabled in order to connect (Settings, Security, Use secure credentials).
If it isn't checked...then no Corporate Wifi will connect.
It would seem that HTC released an update for the Amaze today (Dec. 12).
I have updated my phone...we'll see if it works any better.
Wish me luck...
Apparently HTC is rolling out an OTA that includes WiFi calling: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1319
Not sure if it's T-Mobile USA only or not...
Thought I'd post my observations...
My wi-fi at home (wpa2 personal) works flawlessly. Wi-fi at work (wpa2 enterprise) is able to connect and works great but after 40-50 minutes gets stuck in the authentication loop for unknown reasons. While in this auth loop, it seems to be in a transition state - neither wifi or TMO data mode and no synching occurs. Turning wifi off then back on will resolve but is a pita.
However, once the enterprise wifi is enabled (using credentials) the advanced power menu stops working - the long press of the power button functionality. Clearing the credentials usually re-enables the power button long press functionality, sometimes this requires a battery pull to restart.
Even with these small (at least for me) inconveniences, the Amaze is the best phone I've ever had!

About the email thing, do you have "auto sync" on?

You bet I do...still flaky.
I actually have to run the e-mail app to get my new messages.
A real PITA.
Did the ota update and WiFi seems to be better, more testing after lunch.
It's still not an instant connect like at home, but it does connect much sooner now at work.

Do you connect using WPA2 Enterprise at work? If so, are you able to enable Wi-Fi Calling?
I called 611 and they were not much help. Only thing came out of that call was maybe the WPA2 Enterprise enforces additional security for UMA (WiFi) calls resulting with REG99 error for me. I'll try from home with the WPA2 Personal connection later.
I'm reading TmoNews and it says IMS WiFi calling. 611 told me UMA...
Tried the WiFi calling from home (WPA2 Personal) and it works great. The router at work must be causing the REG99.
we're on a WEP network at work and at home so not sure why home works but not work. It may have to do with the firewalls and all that, but I'm not sure.
I ran into the same problem with email syncing. Here's a work around...
Use "tasker" and get the plugin for it called
"Synker"
Make a repeating profile that links to Synker and voila. You can control when and how often it syncs...

My WiFi performance stinks with this phone. I just got the 1.43 update today and it's not any better. With my old Nexus One I didn't have problems, but when connected at home (shown as WPA/WPA2 PSK) I get lots of time out errors and just about every action in the Market loads very slowly. When it finally does start a download they go OK but getting opening an app page or getting a download to start takes a long time. It is very weird.
I'm running stock.

I don't think it's the phone. I run stock and average 6-11Mbps down and 7-8Mbps up with my WPA2 Personal router connection.
I'm having data connectivity issues on the corporate Wifi (enterprise 802.1x encryption). I can connect initially, but after about 10 minutes (sometimes as much as 30 minutes), I'll lose data functionality but the wifi stays connected. My old Vibrant works fine at work, but the Amaze drops the data. It seems to happen when I switch access points. My sign-on credentials are fine. I can't seem to find any other similar issues out there and support was no help (t-mo, htc, etc). A factory reset didn't change anything. My home wi-fi works fine so this issue is a bit frustrating. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I'm feeling quite alone on this issue unfortunately....love the phone otherwise. I'm running stock.
I'm having the same problem with the router at my work. It will say connected but not data is sent or received. Any other phone works just fine on the same router. My amaze works just fine on any other router. I've disabled all security access on the router at work and the only phone that seems unable to connect to this router is the amaze. (I've tried 2 other w/the same result)

I have been using Beast mod for 3 days now and email has not been syncing, along with facebook and twitter. the sync icon has been on for a few days but nothing is syncing properly. Could it be something to do with a custom kernel?
Just to throw my 2cents in, I was struggling with connecting to the wifi at home, it would connect ok but then never transmit any data. Everything else connected and worked fine, also connected to other routers with the phone and no issues. Long story short, I limited my router to just B and G (no N) and it fixed everything. Phone works great now.
I opened a thread with a bunch of pictures and it took about 5 seconds on wifi (~11 Mbit.) I opened the same thread using LTE and it loaded most of the page then hung, with most of the images not loaded. It slowly loaded the images, but took nearly a minute. I got frustrated with waiting, fired up the speedtest app, and got 25 Mbit down and 11 Mbit up... while it was still working on the web page!
It does this a lot. Why is my LTE connection, which tests more than twice as fast as my wifi, so crappy in use?

try different browser and see if u have same issue
I figured it out. It was only happening with opera mobile (the only browser I use because it's so awesome!) So I went through the settings and noticed the setting for opera turbo was set to "off when on wifi" and apparently on for cellular data. I set it so opera turbo is always off and the problem is gone. Apparently opera's turbo servers are having problems or something. Opera turbo is where it routs traffic through their servers first and compresses before sending to your phone, btw.
I guess LTE is faster than Opera Turbo. Thanks for sharing.
I've been using the Vibrant for probably a year and before that I had a g1 for quite a while. In that time I've used the wifi tethering with various ROMs I've loaded. (Docs Master v12 most recently)
I was streaming a podcast this morning and the stream suddenly stopped but never resumed. I opened a new browser window and was redirected to a t-mobile page on tethering. http://offers.t-mobile.com/tethering/upsell.do
From a few news sources/blogs, it looks like they are now able to monitor tethering activity after official upgrades to ICS. Some sources speculate that they can view the same with Rooted/ROM ICS phones now also. Additionally, it seems like sustained streaming or large downloads are enough to flag your acct.
I looked at my recent use from this morning and it shows ~76 MB of continuous usage.
Soooooo, what are you asking?
My Internet speed is roughly 50 down and 5 up. I use a Netgear modem/router (this was the router that worked correctly with all of my demands). I have an iMac that will get the full 50 download speed via wifi. My iPad gets around 30 (not the full 50 but satisfactory)... but my Note 3 is around 1Mbps. Maybe sometimes it'll spike up in speed for a few moments... But it's so inconsistent. I tried using different channels on the router.... No improvement. (the upload speed is fine though. It'll usually be the full 5mbps)
Any ideas on what's going on? Any settings on the router I can try to help improve this? (stock note 3).
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Digital Trends has an article that has some tips on this issue:
Glitch: Wi-Fi issues
Some Note 3 owners are having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi networks, finding that the Wi-Fi is very slow, or that the device keeps dropping the connection. There are a ton of potential reasons for this and consequently there are a ton of potential fixes. Here’s what you can try:
Workaround:
Some people with stability issues have been able to get solid Wi-Fi connections simply by making sure that mobile data is switched off. Just drag down the notification shade and toggle Mobile data off.
Potential solutions:
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and tap Menu > Advanced and then uncheck Auto network switch. That seems to have helped some people.
Try turning off the Note 3 and your router for a few minutes and then turn them both back on again.
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and long press on the problem connection, then tell the device to forget it and set the connection up again from scratch.
Try out the free Wi-fi Analyzer app and see if crowded channels could be the issue. If so then change the channel on your router.
Make sure that your router firmware is up to date and check settings like MAC filtering.
If you’re having stability issues then you might try disabling the apps Wi-Fi Direct and Wi-Fi Direct Share via Settings > Applications manager on the All tab.

You might also try a different modem, which are you using? (NAB, NC5 or even MJ4)

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately nothing seemed to of helped.
I do not know how to tell which type of router I have. I can tell you it took many routers to find the right one (NetGear C3700). I went through a bunch of Time Warner crap and several from Best Buy......even Motorola's flagship modem/router. It needed to do the following:
Provide open NAT type for Xbox live
Allow my Android device to recognize the Xbox One as a device on my network (pics, vids & music through the console)
Allow Android Youtube app to communicate with the Xbox One Youtube app.
Allow proper connection to my iMac via Wifi (One of Time Warner routers would not work with my iMac)
My BT and Wifi havent worked the same since the KitKat update - Thanks again

Man that sucks, I had serious issues with 4.3. since KK I've been rocks solid with WiFi,
You might try to old factory reset (which sucks I know) just backup first so if there is no change you can restore easy enough.
What ROM are you running? Stock?
Set your wireless channel away from everyone elses. There is a setting where you can just set it to just 802.11N save it. Try setting your wifi port to static for your device. Check your wifi settings on your device. Make sure your using the same channel on your device as for the router.

I've already tried a factory reset since the KK update (for Bluetooth issues). No help.
The phone is stock.
I've tried changing around the channels a little bit with no success so far. How can I change the channel on the device? How do I set the port to static for my device?
Thanks
