Wifi issue with Evo LTE - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I have encountered a rather odd issue and am at a loss.
My download rate is atrocious (approx. 250–300 kbits) but my upload speed is about 5 mbits. I have isolated it to my EVO which I just activated and started using on my Wifi. Obviously the bandwidth is there based on the upload but no matter what I try; resetting the modem and router, isn't working.
Stock evo lte on most recent firmware.
Any help you have to offer is greatly appreciated.

Have you checked your download speed with another device, just to make sure it's your phone and not something else, like the router/network?

Yes. Both my lappy and tv are chugging along nicely via Wifi

menu/settings
click WI-FI
click Menu then advanced
click WI-FI frequency band
check
2.4Ghz only
try that. It might be trying to bounce between 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz

Still crap speeds. Ugh. May be my router and phone just aren't meant to be friends.

Changed my router from auto to G only.. Finally getting the 15Mbits per second I'm paying for.
It would appear to be a software issue, hopefully one of the many that is fixed if we ever get JB.
Thanks to all those who provided feedback on this matter

Maybe this might be your problem?

Seems to have happened to a few people with Evo LTEs.

WiFi + 4G connection issues

Every time I try to use WiFi it just says unable to scan for networks and every time i try to use 4G it connects and then disconnects. My sisters Evo connects just fine...
Anyone else having these issues?

I have a WiFi problem with mine, it connects then I'll sleep it and unlock it and it will not be able to connect, then thirty seconds later it connects... Other than that no issues...

This might be a simple solution....have you guys tried to reboot? Maybe pull the battery ? Or try a factory reset?
Yes I've actually done all of those... But on mine it only happens every once in awhile and fixes itself quickly, something I can live with

This is my 2nd Evo 3D and my first one did it too, so I know It's software. Unless their antennas are garbage.

Mine was connecting to WiFi at my house, signal said excellent, however, nothing loaded, web pages or apps like xda or FB basically tell me I have no connection....so I chose 'forget network' and re entered my WiFi password and I was good to go, hope this helps someone else...

Me too. I guess ill just have to wait and see what happens when the bootloader is unlocked.
My 4G isn't staying connected now. It connects and then disconnects and then won't let me scan again...

If you go to the phone wifi settings and press the menu button, you can change the wifi sleep policy. Dunno how mine got changed, but setting this to never fixed the problem you described for me.

WiFi problems

Ok I never had WiFi problems until I took the update minus hboot. I am running mean Rom with only HTC unlock is this normal?

I am also having this problem and I am stock. I wish I never took the ota cause I am also having battery life issues and getting warm problems. I did a hard reset and still having the WiFi issues, but the others I can't tell yet.

Hi this worked for me. I'm stock and experienced connection issues with my wifi...sitting 2 feet from the router!!! Never had any problems connecting anything via wifi b4.
Go to settings>>wifi>>menu>>advanced. in the advanced section there is a radio button to enable Best Wi-Fi performance. Once activated I had no more connection problems.
Hope this helps.
Not sure if this might help but I changed WiFi to 2.4 GHz and like above best WiFi per. So far good

I did this and it worked for me briefly but then reverted to "authenticating" and then telling me it is the wrong access key for the network. I don't understand why it's doing this but at least for me it seems to be a 1.22 based problem as everything I've run with the prior firmware has been fine....

Your problem is different. Mine was dropping WiFi signal and then self reconnecting. Not anymore though. Your problem I have not came across. Have u tired running the ruu and reset your router?

I've reset the router multiple time and even gave my EVO a static ip to see if that would work. I guess I'll ruu and see if that will help. It's weird though.

Network connectivity issues

Hey guys, i have no idea what has happened, but i no longer have 4g on my phone.
First, it takes forever to actually connect to Mobile data. It shows that mobile data is on, but it says "disconnected" for at least a minute or two. Second it only connects to 3g when i know im in a 4g area, and have always gotten 4g.
I have it set to LTE/CDMA mode and have sprint connnections optimizer turned off. I have also updated prl/profile to no avail. Please help
Thanks
It's been around the posts lately about the growing problem. Try ##3282#, profile, change to 1, hit menu, commit modifications... Maybe that will help.

Thanks, it was already set on 1.

Well... I'm in the same boat man. But I'm actually going on a couple hours of constant lte. Man, I did everything in the book. ##786# reset, hundreds of profile and prl updates...
I flashed back to an old nandroid of superlte and its been working.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
I'm basically having the same issue. The other thing on my end is I can't update prl or profile. This sucks.
Sent from under your bed...
This happened to me the other day. What i did was turn off my mobile data and put my phone on airplane mode for a few minutes. Then i turned everything back on and my LTE worked.
Woke up this morning and my 4g was back! Guess its a tower or software issue. It seems to be randomly disappearing for no reason. Hope you guys get it solved cuz if not then the phone should've been called EVO 3G if its gonna act like this. I'm sure I haven't seen the last of this problem
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Been having similar issues for the last day or so as well. It sometimes requires me to restart the phone entirely before I get LTE back. Where are you guys around? Chicagoland area here.

[Q] Wi-Fi connection issues

I use an AOSP (paranoid android) based ROM but I've had issues with this on cyanogen mod also. Wi-Fi doesn't seem to connect very well and I'm wondering If there is a fix it like the GPS fix that I can flash?
Thank you!

Is it a Comcast router? (Known incompatibility issue)

No it's an AT&T router

I have the same issue with my Gateway router (AT&T Uverse). Once I get it connected it's usually pretty stable unless the phone sleeps for awhile, then I have to reconnect. When connecting to other networks I don't have this issue.

Yeah it is an issue with CM and ATT 2wire router. Your options are to get a new router or keep hitting connect in the WiFi settings like an idiot until it finally connects. This was so aggravating for me when I had ATT.

Me either. Never had this on sense. Now that GPS is fixed this is the last major issue.
Although it does moderately make me feel better to see it's not just me!

Lte connectivity

Can anyone tell me how to keep this phone connected to lte? We just got lte where I live and I use open signal app and it showed lte so I drove right up to the tower. Within 250 feet. My friend with HTC one was connected with no problems. But my phone wouldn't connect. He was getting download speeds of 13-18 mbps. I know I read something on here about an app that helps and also something about##72786# or something like that to change some settings. Thanks

It's a known problem for the elte's, some of them have problems acquiring and maintaining an lte signal, while others don't. Mine does the same thing sometimes.
I have read some people have problems getting an lte signal on some non sense based Roms, not saying that's the problem in this particular situation, but just an fyi sort of thing...
Also, are you s-off? If yes, have you updated to the latest radios? It seems to have helped my phone pick up lte a lil more often...
