I recently bought a new HTC One M8 (AT&T) off of eBay. When it came i set it up and it was still on KitKat 4.4.2. The WiFi had some weird problems on that, but i just chalked it up to it being an old OS. I manually updated to 6.0 using the AT&T RUU tool from HTCs website, and everything looked to be fine, until i got to the setup. When it asked me to select a WiFi network, i selected the one that is the router in my room. Come to find out that unless the phone is pointed directly at the router and less then a foot away from it, i get 1-2 bars, or nothing at all. It barely connects (or even shows) any of the access points in my house either, and when it does they all say 1-2 bars. I still have my old HTC One M8 (T-Mobile) and the wifi works perfect on there, full/strong connection anywhere in the house, and it shows all the access points in my house. I have no idea whats going on, i already tried wiping the cache partition, and factory resetting.
P.S. I don't have a plan for mobile, so mobile data is turned off already (on both phones). Help?
I don't think there is much else you can do. If you did RUU, and still having WiFi problems, the device may have a hardware issue.

Hello,
Its been barely a day that I have purchased X10, came with the stock 2.1 version. I have tried everything I could to try to get the darned WiFi work with my laptop and it just refuses to. I make a WiFi connection, it says "Not in range.." when the laptop which has WiFi is sitting 2 inches away from the phone.
Sometimes, it won't scan. Other times, it will scan and disconnect. And then, I saw it as "connecting.." "disconnected". On the other hand, it has managed to reboot 5 times on its will. I just took the thing out of its box, like seriously?
And I've searched everywhere, no particular help. I have even done a "repair" from PC Companion. No use.

Where are you located? I did have this problem while in Europe a while back. I was not able to connect no matter what i tried. It was something to do with the MAC filtering. So in a nutshell you were not able to connect toy our wireless network? hmm Have you tried the handset in say a coffee shop or at a friends place?
I am in Islamabad, Pakistan. I came over to a friends, and here my laptop picks up the WiFi signal in the house, but the phone fails to do anything. And back at my place, when I make a WiFi connection, other phones do find it, but X10 seems to have lost all self-esteem, and its driving me nuts.:/

seems to me you need return it for another unit. Very odd. being a day or 2 old no problem.
I wish I could have been more help but you have clearly tried all you can!
good luck
Hmm, thank you. I will do that tomorrow.
I figured it just doesn't connect to ad hoc. When I tried connecting at the center on the router, it worked.
I found on these forums a way to edit some file to make it find ad hoc networks, but I can not even find that directory, let alone the file. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
And finally, my phone has restarted 7 times just today. Should I get it changed with another piece?
you need to root the phone to acess the desired directory
Hey, thank you. I did read about rooting in the past days here but it is something that I don't want to do, I hear it voids the warranty?
And yes, I got the phone set changed with another piece. This one has not restarted once, even after the 2.1 update. Thats a relief.
After I upgraded mine to 2.1, I had the exact same issue. I thought I had screwed something up during the upgrade... so I flashed it again and STILL had the problem.
After a couple of hours screwing around with my phone, I rebooted my wireless router and it connected right away and I haven't had any issue with it since.
I have an unlocked unrooted S3 on Vodafone UK. This issue has been happening for the last few days whereby i have full 3G/H+ connection, but absolutely no data is working. No email, no websites loading, no whatsapp, nothing. The issue goes away as soon as I restart my phone, but then it comes back after a few hours.
Has anyone experienced this, and if so, how have you fixed it?
Go back to your network/phone provider .
Or flash different modem .
jje
I am having this issue too. I may be wrong, but i realise this happens if i turn off my Wifi, the 3G will not want to connect to the 3G network.. Anyone else having such problem?
By the way mine is International version (Location: Singapore)
I'm having a similar problem where I have a good 3G/H/H+ connection but data seems to drop intermittently across all applications - I get the same sort of error message in browsers/facebook/twitter that you receive when you have no signal.
Anyone have anything similar and know of any fix?
I am not having such issue so far. I been updating my SGS3 using over-the-air update. I guess the MODEM has been updated as well.
Go to market and download "fast dormancy"(by gorkhanmoral) then disable it and reboot.
Check if your speed has improved,if it got worse then enable it again.
U need ROOT to use this tool.
I it didn't help, then flash a different modem
This is good modem
Cwm flashable

have you got any battery saving app like juice defender installed in your phone?
Is mobile data working at all? or is it constantly "uploading" but never "downloading" (up arrow lights but not down).
If what I just described is your issue then this is a network issue relating to android in general.
Basically your phone will be connected to two radio towers and gets confused as to which one it should use, rebooting or flight mode may help force it onto one tower or you may have to speak to your carriers "high network technical team" or whatever they are called for you to get them to force it onto one tower.
I had this issue on the HTC hero (a long time ago now) and it took 9 months for Orange UK to work out what was going on.

Congrats. Orange Luxembourg (my gf's network provider) still hasn't got a clue.. But they seem rather clueless about everything except writing invoices.
Flashing an Asian modem on her S2 made the issue far less prominent since they seem not to get confused by antenna ping-pong. (Tango Luxembourg, my carrier, has this issue too in the main city)
Well I got hold of my hTC One X+ and imported it directly from Clove.co.uk to Pakistan. I got the phone yesterday i.e. November 4, 2012. Picked my home wifi signal downstairs (my wifi router is upstairs). Worked fine, synced everything. I operated the phone initially without the SIM card. I got the SIM card cut (for conversion) to micro, and the phone worked fine.
Then I had two issues:
1. Suddenly all the signals from my service provider (mobilink) vanished. A reboot, turn off and restart and SIM re-insertion helped.
2. my wifi is disappeared, cannot connect to any wifi signal (cant connect to my HTC desire hotspot) or cant leech neighbors open wifis.
Have read the forums. didnt dared try to upload the custom rom / radio of one-x to this set.
so thats a hands-on review in the first few hours of hTC One X+.... is there any one who have the device and had the same issues? Posted hTC support too. Will be contacting clove.co.uk for support too?
factory resetted the phone... again picked my home connection from the start, but again showing disconnected wifi after full configuration is done. No wifi connections shown? probably a software issue?
No problem with WiFi or anything. All works flawlessly here

I have narrowed down the issue to my SIM card. After one factory reset, I didn't insert my SIM card module, and went ahead with the settings. The phone till the end showed the all the available networks around me. The moment I inserted my SIM card module, the wifi networks just disappear and wont come back.

Try Wifi analyzer and see if the channels you are useing on your wifi are overcrowded maybe.
Standard is the same around the globe for wifi afaik.

Well I will switch the wifi network standard to UK, as the set was purchased from UK. However the issue is whenever I insert the SIM card of cell operator. The wifi goes dead, as i cant see any network, and wifi going for interrupted scanning. though the network is available, and until and unless i go for factory reset, the wifi doesnt come back. I believe its region locking issue with wifi, i guess i have to wait till i get a proper WWE based RUU for One-X+
suggestions welcome. Although I have a return ticket open from the supplier.
HTC One X+ Wifi issues on sim insertion
I bought my HTC One X+ a couple of days ago from the UAE. But for some reason I can't get the wifi to work with a pakistani service provider (ufone). When I reset the phone and inserted a vodafone sim instead which had roaming activated, the Wifi worked fine.
I have found a couple of solutions but they both involve rooting my phone. Wouldnt that leave my warranty void? I want to be on the safe side, and so am cautious about rooting it. Are there any alternative solutions? Would claiming my warranty help?

Did you get you problem solved? If yes, how
I've fix it by work around
I've got my hox+ from UK, and currently operated in Egypt (vodafone), I was having wifi problem, it's only connected for 2-3 minutes then no connectivity in the meanwhile it shows it's connected to the wifi, I did a factory reset then I've skipped account registration once it's started, e.g google account, facebook account and so, then I've added one by one from the accounts in the settings, and the wifi is working fine now
Thanks Yasser,
Did you leave it connected to wifi after factory reset, or you didn't add wifi till the time you had connected your google accounts. A detail step by step work around will be appreciated.
WIFI Problem
HI,
i also have problem with my one x plus.wifi works well without sim,but when i insert local sim ,wifi signal disappears.i have one O2 sim,if i use this sim wifi signals come back.how to solve this problem.
Br
Radical
i had the same wifi problems for months... ATT just released an update though which solved everything for me! My phone is now living up to its full potential woot! get the firmware update it doesnt say what it does besides "wifi bug fixes" but it is finally working great for me!
Whats up folks.
I have a HTC Desire X With Stock firmware, Android Version 4.1.1. Problem is that 3G is not working on it. I have checked the settings and everything is fine there. I have troubleshoot a little bit, by exchanging both the sim card and the phone, and there is deffinetly something wrong With either hardware or software of that particular mobile phone. The problem is that when i turn On/Off the mobile data button on the phone, it simply does not do anything at all, apart from turning the little text right beneath the Mobile data from Off to disconnected, and all this occurs in a blink of a second. I never see any bar in the status bar whatsoever, seems like it is totally dead. What should i do? should i reinstall the firmware on it, in that case how? And please dont talk about custom firmware as this is mobile phone is owned by a Company and not me.

Why not contact your service provider and tell them that you cannot connect to 3G it might be some problem with your service provider

Check if you have the right APN's for your service provider. Also, check if the Desire X's bands match your service provider's bands.
I had a similar problem because I used the sim card older than 10 years, when I changed and put a new one everything was ok

Sorry for a delayed reply but i have already checked the things you guys are mentioning without luck. I have used the same sim in another cell phone and it worked just fine. I also used the other cell phone and made sure desire x had the same settings as the other one but didnt help at all.
I am experincing another issue with another Htc cell phone aswell, its Htc one S, it simply is unable to detect my home wifi, it scans and finds all other wifi networks but for some reason not mine at home. I got like 10 other devices connected to tht particular wifi so wifi and router is just fine. But htc one s is simply not detecting it, what to do?

hmm guess you network antenna has some issues have it checked with a HTC service centre as a friends of mine had the same wih his one x+ and he replaced it so it might be the same case for you its not your sim provider thats causing the problems
HTC one s has a lot of connectivity issues and i have seen it often resulting replacing the motherboard in worst cases however i also get this error on my desire x quite a lot of times you can do it in two ways...
method 1- delete your wifi set up in your phone of your router and hit reboot and then try it should be able to detect it
method 2-if you are a person like me who has the router constantly on due to your wifi needs disconnect and reconnect your router after a few mins it again should be identified with you phone dont know why HTC phones does this but its a common thing...

Thanks for replying, but dude as for the HTC One S, i do not have any profile of my own router stored on the phone, which i can delete, because i never get the chance to connect to it, as it is not showing as an option to connect to, simply because htc one s is unable to detect it at all. I will give it a try to reboot my router and see if that helps. as for the htc desire X, i guess i have to send that telephone back for service.
Hi
I did reset my router, and it finally started to appear on my cell phone, thats nice. But i am having some other issues. Now i am connected to the wifi but it wont work on internett or any other thing working with internett. With other words, i do have a connection, but still nohing is working. And there is nothing wrong with my WIFI.
Another questio, how do i reinstall the stock firmware on HTC desire X?
Hello all, I'm hoping someone can shed a little light on an "interesting" problem I'm having with my new phone. This may be my first post on here, but I have scoured this and other forums trying to come up with an answer but alas have found nothing, so here goes:
I am currently using Simple Mobile which operates on T Mobile's network. I have near-perfect signal at home but can't seem to use the damned thing for Facebook, Tapatalk, Zynga games, internet, etc without my interent connection timing out on me. I recently switched from Comcast to Dish Network and no longer have wifi at home so this is killing me.
This phone screams on wifi, and it seemingly works fine everywhere else via my data connection except at home. I normally show an H or an E at home. From what I understand T Mobile is replacing all of its edge circuits with HSPA+, so I'm thinking they just haven't got around to upgrading the tower closest to my house as of yet. I decided to get my girlfriend prepaid service on T Mobile with that $30 per month 5GB plan through Walmart and slapped the sim in my old Motorola Defy and it works great. However, if I put that same sim in my phone I'm back to square one with the same data connection problems, so I know this is not a problem with Simple Mobile (plus like I said as long as I am not at home my phone works well, too.).
So here's the real kicker -- if I use the PDANet+ app on my phone and turn on the wifi hotspot, it works just fine when I connect using my home desktop computer! This is so aggravating, why would I time out with my data connection for my own phone but as a hotspot it work flawlessly??? I'm pretty close to giving up on T Mobile because what good are they if I can't get a data connection on the phone itself at home?
Also I should mention that all of the APN settings are definitely correct. Perhaps there is a baseband selection that I can't find somewhere in the Blu Studio 5.0 d530 that may help (I know there's one in the Motorola Defy). Maybe it's because T Mobile recognizes that my phone is not a T Mobile branded phone (but the Defy IS), and if so, how can they push the whole "bring your own phone" thing so hard?
In any event, I may try just switching to Straight Talk but I really don't want to go through the hassle of porting my number and all that -- plus I'm not sure how good their signal is in my area. A search online for closest cell towers to my address results in T Mobile by a longshot.
Any help is appreciated, guys -- I'm frustrated to no end here.
