so I've upgraded to WM6 with two devices (Hermes and Wizard) and have noticed that periodically when i try to wake up my device, i'm not able to. I have to soft reset. Both devices..obviously seperate roms. I never had this problem with WM5, ever. I've searched the forums, as much as my kids will allow between naps and only found one thread about using the fake server trick. I just tried it and it doesn't seem as though it works, as I've had one STD. Does anyone know why this happens? It's bothersome because when my phone does this I do not receive calls!!!!
Help!
Thanks, Jason
are you overclocking? if so, remove whatever you're using and try again. Depending on your settings (such as CPU Scaler) it can cause this.
Another thing - does it do it after flashing, or after you load your programs? Could be a program remaining in memory and locks it up...
well...i'm using NBD 6.1 and it has batterystatus installed, but I'm not overclocking. other than that, I have GPRS set to always on thru tweaks2k2 and have IM+ always running in the background. could any of this be the problem?
check this. If it's one, my wizard won't wake up. newest slide2lock changed it on me.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\L2TP1\Parms]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:1
Change to
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:0
It was set to 1. I changed it..we'll see if this helps. Thanks!!
no luck
well it didn't work. My wizard wouldn't turn on this morning and my alarm didn't go off!!!! I'm getting frustrated. is thisreally a semi isolated problem..I find it suspicious that I have had the same problem with two devices with different roms.
BSOD on device sleep
I had recently uninstalled some programs, followed by cleaning using MemMaid. Since then, when my Wiz goes into standby mode, it cannot awaken unless soft reset. I hard reset and issue goes away. I restored backup with limited items, installed SK Tools, cleaned, reset. Issue is back...so called Sleep of Death.
I tried the above reg entry change, no difference.
I will hard reset again as a last resort, but am hoping to fix this issue so that I can keep all my programs, data, etc without having to re-install (after all, that is one of the reasons we make backups!)
Your quick response/assistance would be most appreciated.
The program I uninstalled was WMWifiRouter. It was since that uninstall that this issue has happened.
I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2 where the resolution was to get a new SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.
Anyone else having wifi problems after updating? I didn;t have problems before, but it seems that after 3.2, my wifi stops every couple of minutes or something like that. I don't know if it's my own wirelss's problem, so when I get back on campus, I'll attempt downloading and seeing if it gets interrupted again.
Yep I'm having the same problem. Keeps kicking me out of my PocketCloud remote. Thought it might just be me. I've noticed the Wifi symbol stays grey a lot when it used to stay blue. It's not my network, the only change was the update to 3.2.
Yeah... it's grey and it keeps disconnecting me while I try to download an episode..
(stock 3.2)

I got kicked out of my home Wifi several times last night after updating to 3.2. I didn't have this issue on 3.1. What a total disappointment...
WiFi with 8.4.4.11
Did you install 8.4.4.11 before installing 3.2?
My tablet came back from RMA with firmware .11 installed, but before 3.2 came out. I noticed similar behavior with the WiFi. In my case it never found any networks (I'm guess some wire got messed up when they fixed the power button issue). However, when on the WiFi page in settings normally it says "scanning" under WiFi when looking for a network. On mine it would say "scanning" for a second and then it would go away, then it would say "scanning" again, then disappear, etc. Maybe there is an issue with the WiFi driver?
I'm hopeing the tablet will be back next week (it was in repair status yesterday). The first time I sent it in it came back with a pretty good description of what they did to fix it (its just a bummer they broke it at the same time).

What are you Wifi setting, especially the disconnect settings? It could be that the update changed the settings.
Hmm, I checked it because I saw another thread saying something similar, but it was still marked as "disconnect when screen is closed." I also tried unchecking it and rechecking it, then turning wifi on and back off to see if it would fix it. (It didn't!)
Well, I'm hoping it will be fixed by Asus sometime soon, but it's not too big a problem at the moment since I don't HAVE to watch those episodes. :/
Mine is set to never disconnect. Even tried changing to a different setting and back.
Confirmed. Had this happen since the .11 update.
I may try a wipe and restore. Considering going ahead and rooting if it comes down to swiping. Anyone tried either?
yeah I might as well root if i have to reset everything...
Yes, same problem...disconnecting for about ten seconds every two minutes or so. Makes listening to radio quite impossible...
Have done resets and changing wi-fi channel to 9, doesn't help.
I've noticed this, but it hasn't happened very frequently. For me, it seems to happen mostly during when I had the screen off (which I had setup to disconnect whenever the screen is off). I recently just changed it to never disconnect, and I haven't seen it happen in the past 10 minutes or so, but that could just be me.
I do agree though, it seems as if there is some kind of bug here as well.
I had a similar problem before 3.2 ...i fixed it the day before the update. I forced my router to not be bonded to a channel and set it to auto.
Youtube constant buffering was fixed.. now it downloads the videos quickly and no buffing after the first time.
Also my apps like CNN that have alot of visual pictures in the main menu load up instantly and downloads are lighting quick. No interruptions, re-downloads or anything. Even when apps are updating..Games like Dungeon defenders that has alot of initial downloads pulls the data without stopping.
I suffered from disconnections before i set the router to Auto and choose a channel on its own.
No issue here.

That is exactly what mine is doing. Has anyone contacted Asus?
I think I have a fix. I tried the old assign it a static IP on the TF itself. Icon stayed blue for over 5 mins without turing grey. I'll have to check my PocketCloud tomorrow and confirm the fix.
I've been having the same issue...... every few minutes it says no connection. It also seems like I have fewer bars on my wifi signal icon too.... hope a fix is found soon because it's frustrating.
Well, I tried it on campus, same thing, disconnects within a download of an episode.. (like 4-5 minutes??). Oh no! I'll never get to finish Triumph in the Skies..
It happens to me too. It is quite frustrating.
I have already tried to assign a static IP but with no success.
My HD7 worked without issue from the beginning of the year til around a month ago.
All of a sudden, my WiFi became extremely unreliable, sometimes taking an overly long time to recognise or connect to an obvious access point, sometimes finding none at all.
After I do manage to connect wirelessly, I see no speed increase in data transfer to suggest that the phone is even using the wireless link. Web pages sometimes load slower than over 3G. I had read that HD7s have trouble using certain WiFi protocols and adjusted accordingly, but the workaround was to no avail.
Additionally, once WiFi has been selected, I cannot switch it off. I am 'locked out' of the WiFi settings page. When I tap it in the menu it responds as if I've nudged it but it cannot load. The only solution is to remove the battery. On occasion, this stuck WiFi has also caused the capacitive buttons, camera and power switch to become inactive. Curiously, touch screen function seems unaffected.
I thought maybe this issue was tied to corrupt settings with my hub, but changing SSID / WEP key etc etc on my router hasn't fixed the problem, and connection to other open WiFi signals jam the phone just as badly.
I upgraded to Mango in the hope that a fresh OS update may 'rejig' my wireless settings into working, but again, no joy.
Anyone experienced anything similar? My final options seem to be factory reset the handset to see if that solves the issue, or return the handset to O2. (Both involve losing all my data, game saves, application data AND the recently delisted SW: Battle for Hoth permanently.)
Anyone got any other thoughts?
*EDIT* After a bit more research, I found that even when the phone has connected to a WiFi source, by turning Operator Data Service off, you can see that the WiFi service is in fact not doing anything.
I braved a factory reset, managed to whack WiFi on no problem, browser ran at appropriate speed, then everything crashed as per usual, I couldn't connect to the marketplace and had to pull the battery in order to use any of the capacitive buttons. I guess it was a hardware issue individual to my phone after all.
Guess I'll give O2 a ring sometime soon to sort a replacement. Not looking forward to losing all my game progress though it has to be said.
bro i m having the same exact problem havent find any solution yet i even tried to copy and replace the wifi files from another clean htc hd7 but useless when i upgraded to 7740 the wifi worked perfectly for 1 night only then at the morning it stopped working, everything else works great. my theory says that its not a hardware problem cz i used internet sharing which uses the wifi adapter (if i m right) so its a software I GUESS

I had the same problem as well, couldn't connect, got to the point where even the power button stopped responding. Hard resets would only help for a short time and enabling WIFI would never connect right and eventually get me back to the same problem. I then got a replacement device, but it's not much better, I still can't connect to any WIFI, but at least it's not freezing up on me. My solution thus far has been just to avoid turning on WIFI if at all possible, but it's far from a perfect workaround. I'm guessing it's the HTC WIFI driver that's got issues.
i got similar problem.. send phone to service problem was "circut board"
replaced working fine...
when i was using wifi my phone was freezing some menus stop working and i have to remove battery
So for the past 10 days or so, my Focus has really hit the dump and hasn't let me see not even 10 seconds of video on 3G (Full signal btw), can't stream music from MetroRadio, Last.FM for more than 10-15 seconds, and take a really long time to load websites.
It worked fine before, plenty good infact. I would hit 2-5 mbps on a good day. Lately though, nothing I do about it fixes the problem.
I have called AT&T about 3 times, when today, finally decided to visit a Warranty Center of theirs in San Antonio, TX, which is 4 hours from here. We don't have one locally, so I have to drive to another city.
Was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing problems with the Focus? Does it have poor radio cells? Voice and text works perfectly good, just data.
AT&T themselves have reset their network around me, nothing has changed.
They reset my phone about 2-3 times, nothing has changed.
They replaced my SIM card, nothing has changed.
Anyone experiencing a problem or suggest anything? I really would like everything to be working again.
For references if anyone is curious, I'm hitting 0.30-0.60 mbps. Slower than EDGE, which is unacceptable!
Anyone? Really would appreciate the help, please.
Have you tried messing around with the diagnosis menu? If you haven't, it's worth a shot.
Install the diagnosis app by typing in ##634# into the phone keypad. Then, open up the diagnosis app and enter in *#32489#. Hit the back button (on screen, not hardware back button) until you see the option 8 that says phone control. From this screen, press 8,3,5,2,3,[END]. Then restart. If you couldn't follow these instructions, here is the original post. You can also try the dual mode detailed in that same post. Good luck!
Yes, I have tried all the diagnostic codes I could find to fix, but nothing has changed. I have also done all types of resets, (Soft, Hard, Full, Flash original stock rom) but nothing has changed..
My only other guess would be that you got throttled by ATT due to high data usage. My brother was throttled and began getting around 0.5 down. However, you said that you have tried working with ATT on the problem so that can't be it..
I have had 3g slowness too the past month or so. I have tried using the device codes to change the speed of the 3g and that seemed to help a bit. But the odd thing i notice alot is that if I plugin my headphones it sometimes gets very slow after that to the point that I can barely text message or receive emails. At that point i have to reboot the phone and then the speed goes back to normal.
If your phone is slow, try rebooting it and see if that fixes your speed.
So I've had my m8 since launch, about May of 2014. I've never once had a problem with my wifi, until last week. All of a sudden, I noticed all of my wifi connections (home, work, etc) are all extremely slow. Speed tests are barely getting 1mbps down or up, and the test itself is very erratic, bobbing up and down the whole time. All my other devices are fine, and nothing with any of my wifi connections has changed. I uninstalled about 3 apps that I had installed within the last month, with no change. Verizon sent me a replacement m8, and I got it yesterday, loaded up all my stuff, and low and behold, still slow wifi.
After talking with numerous Verizon techs, they can't solve it, even after multiple factory resets. However, this morning I saw a post while googling it, not an m8 but still android. They said that if Bluetooth is on, but not connected to a device, it could cause issues. So I turned my bluetooth off, and speeds were perfect, getting exactly what my internet connection is. Turned it back on, and back to 1mbps.
So one, why is this happening? I've read that the bluetooth and wifi antennas are the same, and that could cause interference, but it should not be this bad. Second, why did this just now all of a sudden start? I didn't usually leave bluetooth on, but I got a new car about 3 months ago, and decided to leave it on to automatically connect when I'm driving. But it was fine until last week, why the change?
Have you discovered anything new? I've had my Verizon m8 since April 2014 and have always left bluetooth on for my fitbit to sync. I only recently started having problems and can't identify any recent update that happened this month that would cause it. When bluetooth is on and a device is connected my wifi performance is very slow - 100+ ms ping, 1-2Mbps up/down doing a speedtest. Turn bluetooth off and speed test again then wifi performance jumps to 20Mbps up/down with 12ms ping times to the same speedtest server.
I have factory reset my phone 3 times, changed wifi channels, tried 2 different routers and 1 access point. None of the wifi changes affected speeds until bluetooth was turned off. It seems to be a little quicker 3-5 Mbps with bluetooth on and no devices paired but still that's not acceptable.

I too have had bluetooth on for months to be able to connect to my car, never had a problem until about a month or so ago. I did two factory resets, and everything seemed to work fine, but after a day or so, when all my apps were back on the phone, it would start up again. I have a hard time believing a specific app is doing this, unless it was one of the HTC Home updates or something.
Verizon sent me a replacement M8, I got all my apps on it, and the same thing, after a day or so it's super slow with Bluetooth on, horrible ping and less than 2mbps down and up.
So then I contacted HTC directly, did all their troubleshooting, factory reset, and it's still there. They sent me a replacement as well. I turned it on, but did not put my sim into it. I spent 2 days with it, and only downloaded the Speedtest app, nothing else. Speeds are fine with bluetooth on. I then downloaded the rest of my apps (I actually do have quite a few apps, so if it's one of them it will be a pain to figure out which one). It's been two days now and speeds are still good with bluetooth on. Later today I'm going to offically move over to this phone and put my sim in it.
It's just really frustrating to keep turning bluetooth off and on again, and there should be no reason for this to be happening out of the blue all of a sudden.

Strange issue, but from how you described it, it must be a 3rd party application. What I would do in this situation, is do the factory reset, and download 5 apps at a time. Until you narrow it down to the 5 apps that are causing the issue, then you can narrow it down much easier out of the 5 applications. A pain, yes. but once you figure out the app that's causing the issue, you may decide you don't need it, or you only use it once in awhile and can remove it, until you need it, or possibly download an app ops application from the Playstore and remove the Bluetooth permissions and see if that fixes it.
Best of luck.
Seems to help...
I just tried the solution offered in another forum (xda won't let me post the link so I'll copy and paste the information here:
Open page with the available "Wi-Fi" networks (Settings, WI-FI)
Tap on the "3 dots" in the upper right corner
"Wi-Fi Direct"
Tap on the "3 dots" in the upper right corner
"Rename device"
Replace "Android_ed2c" with "HTC One" (or whatever you want) and hit "OK"
Before doing this I had a 300ms ping when Bluetooth is on, and very low bandwidth. Now with Bluetooth on the wifi ping is around 50ms (normal for my home internet) and the bandwidth is back to normal. Time will tell if it sticks, but so far so good!
So I had been running all my apps on my replacement phone for about a week now, and have had no problems. The other day I officially swapped my sim card into this new phone, and for two days now, it's been fine. Bluetooth and wifi are on constantly, and I see no issues with bandwidth. So who knows why the last two devices had a problem, but for now it seems to be fixed.
Having the same issue, originally posted on reddit and then found this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/3kv6z6/wifi_issues_with_multiple_phones/
Turned off bluetooth and it's fine... Will be experimenting with my gf's m8 this weekend.

Same HTC M8 issue - very slow WiFi when Bluetooth is running
Same problem on an HTC M8... speedof_dot_me speed test shows 96 ms latency with D/L at 0.07 mbps (really!) on an 11 mbps router. Turned off Bluetooth, and voilla! Latency dropped by 85% and WiFi speeds increased by a factor of 60! I suspect an HTC issue since an August or September update... since this wasn't occurring prior to August.
Verizon sent me a replacement M8 that was on 4.x.x android. I updated via on-air update (not rooted) to Lollipop and installed all my apps. Everything was fine. That night, it did a security update and, since then, my wifi+bluetooth were horked when turned on together.
Do, I did a factory reset (which doesn't undo the updates), but since doing the factory reset and installing just the basic Play-store updates 24 hours ago, the problem is not back.
I'm going to slowly add back my normal apps this time.
Solved on one plus one
Hello, i had since two weeks the similar issue. when bluetooth is switchef on (unconnected), wifi is very slow. in the past this different, so no issue with hardware and frequencies. Finally, I found out that it was linked to an App that accesses Bluetooth.
In my case it was the App Accu-Chek, I read in a big forum that it was linked to a Garmin app.
Uninstalling the App solved the issue.
My wife has a similar issue on Stock Galaxy S4 mini with that App.
This is definitely app-related. I tried force closing out of a bunch of apps that weren't related to the video I was playing and it seemed to fix the bandwidth issue with bluetooth enabled. Guess I'll need to experiment with closing certain apps until I find the culprit.
I was having this same problem. It looks like the RetailMeNot App was the culprit for me.

You sir deserve a cookie. Thanks for pointing out the worst app of 2015.
Solved on my Phone!
I used to have the same problem. I am having a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact and a Smartband Talk. At the beginning everything was fine but after sometime (strongly caused by a software related issue) I begin to face the same problem. While bluetooth is on WiFi bandwith dropped to a very little amount (around 0,02- 0,01 Mbits/s). Then I read somewhere, about how to verify whether it is a software or hardware issue via checking it in the Safe Mode. So I unpaired by smartband talk and uninstalled the smartband talk software (smartband talk requires a bluetooth connection for functioning). Then restarted my phone in to safe mode by tapping and holding the power off on the shutdown menu. I downloaded the smartband talk software and turned on my bluetooth and paired my smartband talk again. Then restarted my phone in to normal mode. And voila, problem solved.
It is not a guaranteed method but worth to try.
Wish you good luck.
