I was one of the first to buy the HTC Titan here in Norway.. I love the phone and it's big screen, but still I need to ask about some bugs...
1. Freezing: Sometimes the touchscreen just freezes up. It usually freezes during a game or other app that uses some resources. This is pretty annoying..
2. Dial tone: Sometimes when dialing, the dialtone is put through the back speaker of the phone and it makes this very loud noise, almost like an old phone from the 90s. It's just happening totally random, and is also pretty annoying bacause it's really loud for the ear you have next to ur phone.
3. Voice control: This is totally useless. I saw a comparison on the HTC Titan vs. the HTC HD7.. The HD7 worked every time, and the Titan just kept on failing every task. How about testing the phones before they are released HTC?
4. WIFI drop: I've also experienced some WIFI issues. Sometimes the phone just don't wanna connect at all. But when I restart the WIFI connection or sometimes take a reboot it works again. There's no bugs on the WIFI with other devices or what so ever, so this must be a bug aswell.
I really think HTC need to step it up with correcting bugs. I remember buying the HTC HD2 when it came out and that one also suffered major flaws in the code. It's maybe the lack of good drivers that's causing all this bugs in the HTC phones? Anyhow, I need a phone that's totally bugfree and I think HTC needs to put more effort into doing just so!

1. Never had any freezes
2. Never noticed this problem
3. Voice control isnt available in my region so cant say
4. Never had any wifi problems, and i use it all the time
hi i had the same problems took it back got a replacement and the phone had the same problems in the end just changed phone completely phones4u had no idea why it was doing it
1. Never had any freezes
2. Never noticed this problem
3. In czeh location voice control isnt available
4. Never had any wifi problems.
1,2 and 3 : never seen this so far on my HTC Titan
4: Yes, I have exactly same issues with Wi-Fi. It seems like it is little slow on connecting to networks and sometime it just doesn't connect until I press on the network (although it was connecting to it before). It seems to me like phone is using less energy for WiFi to save battery but that does not produce good user experience.
1) Played a few games and apps and never experienced any freeze issues.
2) I'm not sure is loud for me but i'm OK with it. Same as my SGS II
3) Never had HD7 so I cant do any comparison but been playing with it since i got my phone. Never missed any of my word (except some weird chinese language that I tested )
4) Wifi too never an issue for me.
Just got my phone today so I haven't experience all your issues yet. Will check time to time again in near future.
I havent experienced any of the issues you describe. Sounds to me like you should swap it out as a faulty unit and see if another Titan behaves itself for you.
1. Freezing: none experienced. If nothing happened whilst the finger was on the screen, it was due to a cold finger.
2. Dial tone: have not encountered this yet.
3. Voice control: you're lucky to have voice control. No voice control on the Dutch ROMs.
4. WIFI drop: I have experienced this a couple of times. After two or three retries with reconnecting WiFi I get a connection and three bars on the icon. I tested this twice with my HTC HD2. While the phone said it was connected to WiFi but with no bars, my HD2 was completely WiFi connected with a working connection. At both tests there was enough bandwidth for both phones. normally both phones work well on the same wifi connection. These instances were not regular though 95% of the time I had no issues with WiFi on my Titan.
An new issue that I've found in Bluetooth.
I cannot connect my Titan to the microsoft bluetooth keyboard 6000. Anyone else run into this issue or know a solution?
OK good to hear that u guys don't have the same problems as I do..
The dial tone problem could be a carrier problem, because a friend of mine experience the same thing on his titan as well..
The freeze issue continue to be a mystery then.. Need to run some tests
Thanx for all the answers

++1 - frequent WIFI drops and WIFI connectivity problems (connection broken etc.) compared to my other devices (SGS2, Galaxy Tab 10.1 - work flawless)
No problems here. Best phone I have owned.
No such problems with my titan. It Works fine for me.

None of the listed issues at all with my titan, I would ask for a replacement
frequent WIFI drops and WIFI connectivity problems here too.
Hope to get a update from HTC soon
Hi
I'm having error number 1, for example with plants and zombies, the game stops for 1sec sometimes

Anyone else having a bluetooth issue with their htc Titan. Not only does the connection to my bluetooth keyboard not work, I can also not connect to another phone. I tested it with my HD2 and Samsung Galaxy Note. It seems to be a valid problem. The connection does work with regard to finding bluetooth devices, but I get an error, stating that the device is not compatible with the Titan??!! Does anyone know the cause or fix to this problem?
No,it is not caused by the phone this a feature of windows phone 7. Bluetooth can be used for the handsfree only.
I haven't those problems except wifi, sometimes it drops, but a few times of thousands, this is because of the metal case wich absorbs signal.
I have found only a bug: when you add a twitter account, during the synchronization it fails when synchronize contacts. But that is not the worst, windows live mail gets the same error when synchronizes and you can't get your mail either. If you delete the twitter account, the problem with windows live mail persists, even sometimes the twitter account deleted... becomes active again!
The exactly error is: We have problems synchronizing with m.hotmail.com. Not synchronized: Name: Twitter Contacts. The file couldn't be synchronized in your phone. Last attempt XXh. Error 86000206 (i'm writting what i remember)
I have not found any solution. Somebody tells that you can solve it deleting the twitter account, activating it later again, and synchronizing again... but it doesn't works for me
HTC Titan over here
I have wifi issue too. (WiFi stop working and show full signal. When i go away of signal still full) Turn off and on again wifi fix it.
Next problem is with touchscreen when batery level is low (less then 15%). sometimes screen not responding.
I have not encountered any of the mentioned Issues, but it might help o know if you are using the 1.08 or 1.09 bootloader as the new version apparently fixes some bugs.
I don't get a good gps signal out of wifi. Also I don't really care about it. However I decided to do some testing and found some intersting results today. I will preface this by saying I am woefully ignorant as to how the whole gps software works so if what I say is a known thing I apologize.
ANYHOW, I was tsting gps alone in my car and wasn't locking on to any sats. I went back to work and linked into our wifi and fired up the gps test to see what was up. Of course I connected to many sattelites and all was good. I left it alone until I was leaving for the day. I got inot my car, with no wifi connection available, and noticed that the wifi test taht I had left open was still picking up many sources. I drove the whole way home and had nav the entire time.
I'm not saying this is the golden ticket or anything but I found it interesting that just througha few different seps I was able to get my gps working without wifi. This leads me to the thought process that perhaps there are some software changes that could be made taht would help things. However I'm not claiming a total solution for all gps problems. Just wanted to put this out there.
I know others are reporting success with the update but mine seems to not work.
Is there any hope or is mine just bad?
It does not lock onto anything and barely sees 1 satellite some of the time.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Same here.
Asus didn't say, "Here's an update to fix all GPS issues."
No need to freak out - everything is a work in progress.
Variables in play
Definitely NOT an even playing field. Even with margin of error, and huge differences in test conditions, I am of the belief that some GPS setups are better (or worse) than others. People reporting poor indoor performance made me envious, as I had NO indoor performance and could barely see satellites outdoors. This update stepped my GPS up substantially, I even got loc indoors (for about 6 seconds, LOL!)
My gut tells me they are NOT going to get it to a workable level, there is just too much to overcome, with the back design, but I do commend Asus for getting in there and giving it the old school try.
Got an external, bluetooth receiver, about 5" x 2" x.5" and it works well. I will probably rely on that, unless Asus pulls off a miracle of engineering.
After all they are "Inspiring Innovation" and "Persistent Perfection" whatEVER that is supposed to mean, LOL!
I have an Asus Motherboard that says the following on the box:
Rock Solid - Heart Touching
uh.. Okeeey then. Thanks for those words of wisdom and inspiration, Asus!
I have never recieved one Satellite hit on my Prime. Everything else appears fine, the WiFi appears fine.
However, I have tried GPSFix, GPSTest and I have never seen one satellite. My last prime I took back for Serial Number Unknown showed me 2 satellites for like 5 seconds and I never saw any on it either.
So I am doing something wrong, or my GPS was Dead on Arrival.
When I first got my Prime, GPS did not work.
The GPS firmware update that came for my Prime when it was still running Honeycomb made a huge difference. I was getting a fix on 10-12 satellites (though it took a couple of minutes).
After the ICS update, my GPS did not work again. The GPS firmware update today was no help ... I'm still getting nothing. I can only guess that there may be different GPS hardware models for the Primes. Hopefully, Asus can find a way to get us the correct firmware update for our particular model. I know that mine is fixable because it was fixed once before.
Frankly, I haven't noticed any improvements after last night's update.
I don't understand why they wont let us Just send it on and they change the backing for us

This is still the only issue with my Prime... even after the 1/18 firmware updates, still no GPS lock... It has never found or locked onto a single satellite.
I wonder if I should have done a hard reset after the latest firmware update. I did reboot all services/ tasks, but it didn't help.
Yeah, same here. Not a single lock before and after.
It's clearly a good sport in prime sections to open constantly new threads about the same subjects...
When you look really, you can close at least half of all threads!
Guys please! Stop opening threads for things already written many times! And especially when xda can't help you. I'd your GPS doesn't work... it doesn't work, see with Asus.
I got my dock last night and BOOM! GPS works like a champ. Take it off the dock and GPS dumps out. This gives me hope. Is it software or hardware?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
Yeah same here. I do seem to remember GPS working shortly after I got it, but not since I went to ICS. Update didn't do anything. Using GPS status app, i don't even get a fix on a single sat. Wifi is another issue all together >_<
I went outside today after trying the fix. I could see 15 satellites and locked on to 10. I have one of the Australian primes but i don'tknow if that makes a difference.
My GPS works - not!
I guess I'm one of the luckiest Prime owner. After the firmware update I managed to get my GPS show something. It is far from perfect - it lag fetching the satellites reception and when it does it might just disappear at once all of a sudden.
I found that the best is out of town. in-town the disruptions is probably too much for it and the GPS going crazy and not-accurately. Out of town it had smooth reception and the GPS stayed connected for quite a while, like GPS should work.
all in all this tablet doesn't have a decent working GPS. i can't believe it can be fixed. it is the case and there is nothing to do.
first time I buy something of a first generation and it looks like I'm screwed!
Ok, Just unboxed my TP from Office Depot today. Google Maps seems to find me in my house within 20 meters. However, GPS Test is no dice with finding a single GPS. Is Google Maps doing something different. Im still on Honeycomb, want to see what HC does prior to updating to ICS. Anybody else experienced this.
GPS fix did fix my GPS but it screwed up my wifi. Range got reduced a lot.

I recently purchased the 16gb Sony Tablet S and am contemplating on whether or not to return it by the 30 day window due to sporadic wifi connection at my apartment. The issue is not as much the reobtaining wifi after the screen unlocks, as it is the general holding of the wifi connection when the screen is on.
I've isolated the problem to my specific router, as it works PERFECTLY at my GF's apt and my parent's house. Always connects right away and stays connected. However at my apt it doesn't always connect right way and have to manually turn the wifi off and on again, and sometimes have to manually hit connect from the wifi screen. When it finally obtains IP address it will connect, but most of the time for only a short period (like 20-30 seconds) before the wifi signal on bottom right just disappears. Then I have to toggle the wifi on and off again and try again. Very annoying. Sometimes it will connect though, and the wifi holds up like it should.
Here are the fixes I've tried so far:
* Reset and Factory Rest device
* Forget/Reconnect to network from device
* Update Router Firmware
* Configure Router - g/n mode and n mode from b/g/n
* Set Router Channel from auto to 1,6 and 11.
* Wifi Lock App (doesn't work and drains battery)
Personally, I feel like the tablet itself has an inferior wireless radio. Compared side by side to my other wifi devices, it has noticeably less signal at the router and diminishes quicker the farther away you go. Now, this doesn't really bother me as I'm usually always near my router. However, when I was scanning all the wifi networks around me (in cmd: netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid) I found over 30 networks around me all using the full channel spectrum. I've tried every channel on my router, but 11 seems the best.
Would a crowded wifi area affect the tablet? But again, my laptop, 2 phones, and PS3 connect at every channel with no problems at my apt. At my parent's house and GF's apt there are only 1 or 2 other available networks that could also be on my channel. That's the only thing I can think of.
I just don't understand why only the tablet is having wifi problems.
I have about a week left to return it, and would like to keep the tablet, but running out of patience. Next, I think I will try using MAC address and see if that works.
Any help would be appreciated!
Try this!
I had the same issue.
I solved the problem
1 - turn off wifi.
2- in accounts - turn off "auto connect"
3- turn on wifi ( test if work )
4- reconect the accounts
too simple .. but works , try it.

Thats certaintly not the problem since i have so many devices logged in on my network, and not having the same problems,
The Wi-Fi on Sony tablet has known issue's like loosing connection when screen goes standby, even if you checked this in settings never to shut down.
The steps in the post above can be the sollution, and if not, sony will make somehow a repair or a dev would fix this. goodluck.

Thanks. I tried that sequence and it seemed to work for a little bit, but then the problems reoccurred.
Again, the problem is not just that the wifi doesn't pick up right away after standby, but also, and more importantly, it looses wifi BEFORE the screen goes out while I'm using it, repeatedly.
Its very annoying and only happens at my apt and not at other networks. No other device on my network has this problem.
Nobody else has had this problem before?
I remember from older posts that tablet s has problem with certain brand routers. What routers are used in your places.

Its a ZyXel brand router that doesn't work. I'm pretty sure the one's that do work are both Linksys. The ZyXel router is probably a cheap one because it came bundled in a promotion from my ISP.
I guess I could try another n router, but still find it strange that all my other wifi devices are fine with the current router.
Wifi Signal
Sony is not as reliable as it used to be... My Tablet S keeps loosing WiFi signal, and the solution I found was to turn off and back on the WiFi. This fix the issue.
However another very annoying problem is that very often I need to hard reset the tablet as it locks the screen with no other way to recover it. Shame on Sony. An the annoying side flash light is ridiculous. I used to have an A100 that aside any design issues, worked perfectly never had any operational issue with it. Should have upgraded to a A500...
What worked for me.
I bought a Sony S as a birthday present for my wife. That was yesterday and today she went to work and left me to set it up for her.
I have a Cisco E3200 router. The tablet could see my router and connect to it but would drop the connection after 5 seconds.
Well, that was the first hour and a half of my day.
Finally, with nothing else to try, I set up a guest account on the router. The tablet found it and connected to it on the first attempt and has been connected now for over four hours including multiple restarts.
I have no idea why this worked. I just know that it did.
Clive.
Same issues here when docking tablet sometimes, but my work around is to turn WiFi off, and hit Fast Reboot ( app by Great Bytes Software) then turn WiFi back on. Fast Reboot seems to do a soft reboot on apps and system and it only takes a few seconds.
Hope this helps!

Wifi Issues
I bought the 32G version from Woot recently. The WiFi reception is awful. I am on my second unit same thing.
4 feet from Router (on 2nd floor), 3 bars out of 4. 15 feet goes to 2. Downstairs goes to 1 bar 1MBS. And drops like a hot potato. Sony has sent a RMA for repair. Being this is my second unit with same issue, I doubt there is a fix.
I use a LAptop, netbook, android phone on the same router. No issues. They all work well, even in the basement!
Updated to 4.0 on my original unit, no change.
Just ranting here, hoping for a surprise fix. Other than that Mrs Lincoln how was the play? I love the tablet otherwise. Will probably throw and a spare router downstairs or feed it off my 4G phone. Now that really sucks..LOL
Anyone else
4.03 can solve this problem?

sony tablet s wifi issue
Hi all,
after weeks of study here is what i found out:
- wifi issue is not a hard ware issue, it is simply the software.
- wifi issue occurs only with certain routers with both N & G channels , Especially Netgear and BT.
- Wifi manger app makes it better and less annoying, issue still there but less occurring. try different channels.
- Tablet S for some reason does not like the channels used by certain Routers.
- do not bother with wifi lock app, does not do the job and steals ur battery.
- after weeks of trial, tablet is just great, but needs attention from Google.
SO
My friend's wife works for Google, when asked for the favor of the insider , engineers in Google said, first stage is to roll out Xperia release 5 to try and fix problem, then both S and Xperia will get Jelly bean with a definite fix. Testing as we speak.
all I can do now is get a good router and hope for the best.

I have tried 3 different Routers.
Verizon/ActionTecMi424
CheckPoint Z-100G
Linksys WRT54GL
No change no difference.
I finally installed another router on the other floor. Now it works in entire house, but have to change router connections if I move to a different floor.
The big question here I think is:
Is every Tablet S this way or do we have some bad samples? Software or Hardware. Sony has given me and RMA # to return for repair. I am hesitant to do that. If there is no fix or all units are this way.
I am not 100% sure but from my own testing I found it working 90% of the time everywhere else, here is how I tested:
home netgear, does not hold wifi , have to refresh page all the time to browse internet.
Work ( different router not sure what type yet) works just like a dream, fast no wifi drops no refreshes needed.
took it to most free wifi spots, not a problem.
friends house BT, Same issue again.
Wifi manager made it a bit better yes ( have to test now on channels 12 , 13 or 15 , wifi lock app does not work.
I hate to get a different router to get same issue at the end. however different posts elsewhere suggested setting router to N on and G off channels testing each time you make a change, on tablet set to manual ( have not done this bit yet).
It's not like we are all being picky here with Sony, we like the tablet itself and we bought it with a lot of money, we want to be able to browse the internet download things without getting our livers and kidneys enlarged.
more to follow , I am really hoping to be able to get my friend's wife update as she told us GOOGLE IS VERY AWARE OF THE ISSUE.

WIFI Issue fixed
All,
there was an update last Thursday that fixed the wifi issue, I am not really sure what but my tablet s now holds and keeps wifi everywhere.
I had issued before with netgear and bt routers and after last Thursday it was just fine, i need to review the recent updates done and Let you all know.
I tried it everywhere and works perfect, download speed is perfect , not one drop of wifi so far.
I assume either Sony or Google did something here as it was getting an update last Thursday that lasted about 10 minutes, could not figure out what was that update yet.
Hello,
I just bought a month ago, this device, Samsung J6. I am very happy with him, but I saw a problem. When I have my wifi on, and I am connected to my Bluetooth devices (like my speaker), almost always, my wifi is going slow, I cannot see a video, or to listen to some music, nothing. Until I restart my phone, and for a couple of hours it's working, but after that the same problem.
I already read many posts with this problem on the galaxy phones, but I cannot see any solution. Probably just to change the connection to my router. But I don't think it would be a long time solution for my phone.
Is anyone having this problem? It would be an update or something? I am thinking that could be a bug, right?
Thank you, I am waiting for some response!
