I'm bringing this up because I am having 4G issues in my place. The data cuts in and out a lot, and sometimes hangs with the up arrow lit, forcing me to use 3G for the time being. I'm wondering if anyone else is having problems.
I am also thinking if VZ is throttling or not, but 17 days into my billing cycle so far, I have used only 2.5 gigs, hardly a reason to be considered excessive.

I doubt verizon is throttling. You are proly in a 4G fringe area. If you don't need 4G all the time, you should change the radio to CDMA auto. Your battery will quickly drain looking for 4G signal (or trying to hold on to a weak signal)

I posted a question like this on the q and a forum. Its not your phone. I am having problems with 4g in okc and im not the only one. People on rootzwiki are having the problem too in Texas. I believe its a verizon issue

I'm well inside the 4G area, and it worked well where I live until about a week ago, and its been flaky ever since.
what25,
You are not alone. Did you find a solution to the problem? If not, I hope you didn't do anything drastic.
I also have the problem (in Houston, on thunderbolt) and have found others on xda dev and rootzwiki that are having similar issues (also in Houston area). It's not just you. It also seems to be only thunderbolt users.
I'll post the links to others having the problem. Also, have you noticed it in general or has it only been with certain apps. For a while it was a problem with my 4g connecting. Now the 4g is connected but hardly loads. Plenty of apps seem fine, maybe slower. But it is mainly Google services that don't work. My Google voice doesn't work at all. I don't get notifications for new messages and the messages don't load in the main screen. Google plus doesn't load at all. Youtube is very slow, and the stock browser is also barely usable. I've had the problems for about the past 4 days (I think I really started noticing on Friday). These problems only occur on 4g by the way, not 3g.
Please respond if your situation sounds like it's the same problem.
I'm in houston having same problem as above..

Same problem here! Houston area

Same here (Webster). I started the thread at Rootzwiki, here are the details of my problem:
"I'm having the strangest problem, my browser is not cooperating with 4G. Especially with Google, the progress bar just sits there nearly indefinitely. It can load full sites, such as topgear.com, but it hangs at the end before the bar is full.
I can toggle down to 3G and it works fine. I'm currently running the OTA MR2 radio. This started, however, some time after I flash Chingy's latest leak. I've flash radios back and forth a couple of times, cleared cache and dalvik, clear Internet application data, I've even done a complete wipe (wiped everything twice) and re-flashed without restoring anything what so ever. Nothing works other than toggling down to 3G.
That being said, it's not a connection issue. I can tether and it runs great, speed tests ran from the phone have good results and most application that use data are fine. I'm baffled.
Any suggestion? Any one ran into something like this?
Thanks."

Yea I would describe the situation as very similar.
The browser would be very slow, or sometimes hang, when trying to load a webpage. When on 3G, everything works fine. My GMails have been getting delayed notifications on 4G as well. Havnt checked youtube, but I assume a similar situation would arise.
I switched back to mr1 radio and lte to no avail. What the hell, it's been 4 days. Has anyone contacted Verizon about this issue yet?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Apparently the issue has to do with the DNS settings. Not sure why Verizon changed their DNS on us. Here's a thread on rootzwiki that contains the solution to fixing.
rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1763-Browser-not-liking-LTE&p=39618#post39618
i called and no one has reported it. i put in my report and after so, i decided hey i wanna try the nightly synergy. 7/25 on 2.75 radio, now everything works. but just to make sure i wiped and flashed cm7 and omgb back for a fresh start, 4g locked on but still had the same problems. im in the Houston area as well, i work downtown and live off 8 and the not so newly opened 90, i get great coverage never loose 4g.
Very odd. If it was due to a particular radio, it should have resolved when you flashed another. If the fix posted by strwberrybened does not work, grab SetDNS from the market & change to GoogleDNS or OpenDNS
Yes, no 4G in Deer Park at around 3:15 pm this afternoon. I was at my doctor's office and noticed that I only had 3G. I was unable to access the Internet via my T-Bolt and rebooted, it restored the Internet but not 4G. I am charging my phone now and will check again soon. I am using the leaked radio posted just a few days ago on the RootzWiki site.
I'm in Deer Park too, also 4g is back to normal. About time, just do a normal reboot and 4g should be back to normal. No more 4g lag!

While using the phone in a spot with poor wifi reception, I've noticed the wifi icon completely goes away sometimes. It will then pop back on shortly thereafter. Is this normal behavior when it thinks the wifi signal is completely gone?
I just picked one up yesterday and have been having issues. In my bedroom it will read 2 bars, drop to one, then shut off. Comes back on within seconds. This phone seems to have WiFi issues for a lot of users.

Same problem here, but it also happens when it says i have full bars. I need to enable best wifi performance to fix it. My gsii never had this problem...
This is exactly how mine behaves too. I'm in the room with my router so I normally have full bars (and should) but every once in a while the signal goes away and comes right back 2 seconds later. I've tested it with 2 routers, a linksys running dd-wrt and a d-link one, both have the same results.

International One X has issues too. The newest update 1.85 was supposed to fix some WiFi issues along with other bug fixes, and it doesn't seem to have helped us. Let's not assume they even know what the problem is at this point.

I don't think what I am experiencing is a hardware issue at all. Im not even moving the phone when this happens, and my phone passes the squeeze test. I'm confident this means it has to be software related.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
This is kind of an old/dead thread by now, but I just wanted to share my experience with wifi on the One X.
I'm also having problems, but I'm currently running a nightly (though very stable) build of CM10 on my One X and still have wifi issues. This COULD be hardware related, in that it's just crappy hardware (though it could also be software related if CM10 is built using wifi "code" (not really sure what the correct term for the wifi stuff in the software is ) from the stock software)
I'm sitting at work right now, for example, and every once in a while the wifi will disconnect. When connected it shows 2-3 wifi bars, when it's NOT connected, my wifi network shows up as "not in range" .
same type of thing has happened at my house. I thought my phone was defective so I traded it in for a replacement at best buy. Same issue. Such a shame becuase I really like everything else about this phone and wifi was never an issue on my last HTC device.
kernel changes affect wifi. some of the cm10 builds have known wifi issues.
i would never think of returning a phone because of an experience with a custom rom, since the phone wasn't built to run that rom.
always revert to full stock and see if you still have the issue. also updated ota/ruu are made to fix issues also. at&t rom doesn't have many stock wifi issues, but you can always run into issues with wifi access point incompatibilities.
Hi. I was using my Sensation last night, went to bed and woke up the next day only to find that my 4G connection wasn't working! The signal bars were white and the icon (currently an H) is flashing. What does this mean? How can I fix it? I can only use Wifi at the moment, and I DO NOT pay an extra $10/mo to deal with this! How can I fix this? I've checked my data settings, rebooted my phone, scanned fir viruses, but can't figure it out!

this happened to me the other day, even in 3G/4G mode my data would never connect and E would just keep flashing over and over again (in like 10 sec. intervals) thought it was a ROM problem so I restored a backup and sure enough, the problem was still happening. I could still make calls and send texts fine tho. its not happening to me anymore, but I found it weird. could it possibly be T-Mobile messing with their towers or something in preparation for LTE?
Well, I'm not sure what caused this very same issue for me a couple days ago. I can say that it ONLY effected my AOSP (CM9) rom, but my Sense rom was unphased. It seems to be a common recent complaint in the OpenSensation thread...
I've since then done a fresh install of CM9 RC1 with the addition of Tamcore's kernel. Although I'm not experiencing the described symptom any longer, I can say that my data speeds are far from exceptional. I'm not sure what is going on, but it does seem to be carrier related.
I experienced the same 1 day after flashing CM9 RC1. I re-flashed the Virtuous Inq. ROM I was using previously and the problem went away
My phone went back to normal later on. I think you were right mulletcutter, they might have been servicing it.

Same data connectivity issue
I have two sensations, both shows similar data connectivity issue on TMobile. Data signal jump to connected and not connected for couple hours, and eventually problem will go away. I have both phones rooted running either CM9 or Kang. So far I have tried couple following things but no solutions. I believe its HTC Sensation hardware issue:
1. Flickering so far seen usually after night long charge in the morning. It will last couple hours, some time days.
2. Changing/reflashing ROMs did not help at all and saw same issue continued.
3. One of my friend has Sensation and he also has seen same issue.
4. Some time going into Phone application(Dialer) and then Settings/Advance settings and come back without doing anything helps but not always.
Please post here is you have temporary/permanent solution or even know the root cause of this data connectivity issue.
Also thinking to call Tmobile to get some kind of help but not expecting much as I bought phones more than year ago but less than 2 years. I don't want to give any more commitment/agreement with Tmobile as planning to move to value plans to save some money. If Tmobile does not help, thinking to try American Express to conver it under extentended warranty as I paid by AMEX credit card.
Thanks
Have you tried the application get ril? I was having some issues myself, I'm also T-Mobile. I tried get ril and found out my radio and ril we're not matching. The application suggested a ril for download and once I did that I went from one bar of connection to five bars of connection on H. It made a big difference for me. Perhaps it could also help you? You can download get ril from the market. It sure won't hurt to try. Best of luck.

Its a defect in the basic aosp framework. There is nothing you can do to fix it. There is also nothing your usage did to start it.
The good news is that it should disappear on its on after a few hours.
Check my threads started history. You will find a thread near the top of that list showing almost all there is to know about this issue. I think my thread might be linked in the first 2 posts of the cm10 faq thread too.

I've been using my Rogers HOX ever since it came out but always had random data drops. Tried all kinds of radios (with or without RIL) and all kinds of roms and the issue is still there. Losing data is not the biggest issue but it also drops the battery real quick because it keeps trying to connect.
Anybody ever find a solution to this?
I'm using the HOX on Straight Talk and lately I have noticed that when I have WiFi on for a while, assuming it stays connected, I lose mobile data. The only thing that bring it back is toggling airplane mode or rebooting the phone.
I am on Jellybean, and I am not sure if the issue was present in the stock ROM's.
Yep still having the same problem on AT&T with every combination of Kernel/ROM/Radio you can think of. I can also say that it isn't a "rooted only" problem because a coworker is having the same issues on 100% stock software. There's always that ONE THING that keeps my phone experiences from being perfect. Grrrrrrrr........

Stock 2.20 on Straight Talk. Have to toggle Airplane occasionally. Especially in North Little Rock. ::shrugs::
OP, have you restored your stock setup to see if the issue persists? Basic question, but for the sake of a starting point.
After so long, finaly found the problem. I don't know if it'll be the same for everyone but the problem was Swiftkey keyboard. The moment I uninstalled it, the problem did not reoccur.
I have the same problem and I can assure you its not the phone, I have used many android phones, iPhones, and regular phones on rogers 3G network and they all have the data drops in general like dropping to 1 bar and no service once and while.
You might want to switch your network to wcdma/gsm instead of wcdma/gsm/LTE. If you dont have the correct APN for the rogers lte network it will keep searching for the lte nrtwork causing the data drop. As soon as I turned my lte toggle off the network stopped dropping randomly though I still get those random data drops caused by the network

We had this issue with the rezound, it actually occurred because you flashed different radios.
You had to flash a ruu or a modified one without the system image. See my SIG
So try flashing a ruu, this doesn't explain someone with a stock phone having issues but I bet that's just tower issues
I don't have any of these issues

Tried all of the listed solutions and nothing worked. I know it's not the network because I don't have the problem with my Note II. Swiftkey was the issue for me, once removed, the issue never reoccurred.

Wow, you might be onto something here. I just installed SwiftKey last night and immediately started having issues. Data has been off-and-on with different versions of different ROMs, and never suspected that my issues may lie within an app that I was using. I was mucking about with radio ROMs and a million other settings, never realizing that SwiftKey was installed right around the time I started having issues on each ROM.
I'm going to jump back to CM10 this evening and see if this was my issue.
THANK YOU in advance! (Thanks button has been hit!) Nice work!
You gotta be sh***ing me! After all this time scouring xda and numerous other sites.starting my own tread it was SwiftKey all along? Wtf? I did a thousand different things. Nothing worked, took off Swiftkey, bam, flawless. I've got a T-mobile GS3 incase anyway was wondering, no, apparently it's not just with htc or AT&T/Rodgers. Weird though cuz my wife has a AT&T GS3 with Swiftkey and has no issues whatsoever... Did you dl your version from the playstore or from a 3rd party? Thanks a million for posting your solution. This was absolutely killing me. God do I hate this stock keyboard though...
Hi,
Starting to lose my patience with this device now. Such as shame that this lovely piece of hardware is strangled by poor software. I've already put the device on ebay and withdrawn it because its so slinky and I really want the issue to be sorted. I have no option but to go with the ipad mini at this rate, it just works!
Using odin I've successfully upgraded to ICS with P6800DXLP8_P6800OLBLP7_P6800DXLP7_HOME.tar and XXLQ1_OXALQ1_ATO My wifi keeps dropping out, ive tried it on three different routers etc and still the same issue. Tried CM10 and that reboots on me. Ideally i want a stock rom that works without any niggles on my Euro p6800. Any ideas, i'm really trying to make Android work for me, ive searched the forums like a good boy but no real answers anywhere.
:cyclops:
I can't help but thinking... if you are fed up with the Sammy device, why not switch to something that is completely open, like the Nexus 7, instead of a closed ecosystem like Apple's? Seems like there are other (better) choices out there than the iPad mini.
I'm sorry you're having troubles. Please feel free to give me your tablet. I could always use two!
Barring that, here is what I would suggest that has worked for me:
I have always had "advanced WiFi lock" from the play store, and it appears to have improved WiFi performance even when I had ICS.
I had locerra's cyanogen 10 ROM for a spell and really liked it. I then did some research in the development section and found Daniel HK's Paranoid Android ROM v. 2.55 and have enjoyed it even more. WiFi performance has been consistent and stable on both custom. roms.
Do some research and have a go at it.
If not, i can give you my address as I am currently living in Mexico and you can ship it to me!
I didn't experience any wifi issues at all until today. I'm staying with a friend for the week in Canada, and wifi k3ps dropping out. It seems that only a restart will solve the issue, and the network then falls out of range(even though I'm next door to the router). I'll give the app mentioned a try.... But any other thoughts please let us know! I'm on the leaked ics rom from Open Austria, rooted.
Update: "Advanced wifi lock" app has solved the issue, thanks! But we shouldn't really need to download the app.. Any ideas of how to solve such issues natively?

Ensure you don't have BOTH 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz enabled on your router at the same time.
Use one or the other.
After disabling 2.4 GHz band, and using 5 GHz only on my Billion router, my device (P6810) had no wifi drop-out issue. Same if I use only 2.4 Ghz band only.
Hope it helps.......
BTW, I would suggest LP8, such as my SkyHigh ROM, having "fixed" wifi issue for most........ But try the above first

Did you fix your issue in the end? I've tried changing settings on the Cisco Valet router to operate in just one wavelength but there is no such option... I guess it must be a old router. The wifi lock app didn't make much difference either unfortunately.

Thanks, The firmware on my mate's Cisco router was out of date, wifi connection much better but it still cuts out and appears to only reconnect if I restart. Even a "quick reboot" from within Rom Toolbox Pro doesn't reconnect. Annoying issue... It even cuts out midway through a skype call with my wife (but no issues on mates ipad or my htc) Also no issue with my wifi connection back in the uk. Very weird. Any further ideas appreciated!

Just wondering of the connection is secured? Does it cut out on open connection?
If secured, did you restore wifi settings with any particular app (ie. Titanium)? If so, you could try delete/forget wifi connection and manually enter the password instead
Or, delete/forget wifi connection in settings and restore with titanium backup. You usually have choice of "101" or "XML", try one then the other, reboot each time after restore.
Edit: if you have another device to set up a wifi hotspot, open and secured, and test?

It's a secure network, but i've tried forgetting the ssid and then reconnecting, but it makes no difference... Still patchy connection. I don't want to make the network open as it's my mate's network not mine.
I downloaded an app called "wifi manager" and it seems to be working 60% of the time, which is good enough for the moment. When I get back home to my own wifi network I expect no connection problems as it was working fine when I left last week probably the issues were due to my mates awful Cisco router and not the GTab!

I think it's the WiFi driver in the version of your ROM.
There is no reason you should be having to amend settings on a router because in most instances, you will not have access to a,ending the router.
I'm currently living in Mexico and I'm dependent on several WiFi access points around town and intermittent WiFi where I live. I can safely assume that the technology isn't the latest and greatest down here and I don't control any of those settings.
I am not experiencing the problems you are describing.
I think you're right, it is the wifi driver. I've just tried connecting to the open wifi network at Toronto airport, which connects fine on my htc, but i need to restart my GTab in order to connect to it. I'm running an official Samsung ics rom from the European carrier, Open Austria, (downloaded from samobile.com)... These issues only started when I left the UK and arrived in Canada. I'm wondering if the 3g roaming has some part to play in the error. Anyway.. I will try again when I get home, but anticipating issues.... How would I fix this? Do I have to reinstall the rom and all my apps?! (hope not, as I have this baby set up just perfect )

Check my comments about LP8 firmware mentioned in my first post here..... way down the bottom Was obviously missed. Posts after that, I assumed you had, since you didn't comment about it.
There is also a thread relating to the problem and the subsequentLP8 fix.
Either flash SkyHigh ROM (P6800 DXLP8) or official DXLP8.
Whether just flashing the kernel from DXLP8 firmware world do the trick, not sure, as I have a P6810. But as I said, flashing the firmware package helped most out with the "wifi bug"
Do you have root and custom recovery?

Is there anything wrong with this ROM or could anybody recommend a fix or alternate ROM?

Possible solution to WIFI problems?
I have had major problems with WIFI in my 7.7. The Austrian ICS has dropped connections, went totally berserk in some locations and stopped working unless rebooted.
I have now diagnosed (I believe) that the reason is the use of channel 12 in any WIFI router. If the router does not use 12 there seems to be no problems. At home I can configure my router not to use 12 and after that I have had no problems. There seems to be some kind of conflict or the Tab is faulty in that sense.
I do not know if this can be generalized, but at least for me it worked.
Yes I had the same problem with band number.... My friend's router that my tablet had an intermittent connection with, was on band 11. As soon as I got back home to my router in the uk (which uses band 6) My wifi connection problems disappeared.

Yes I Can say after doing alot of reading i realised its the chanel.
im using locked chanel 5 and seems much better..also wifi connection manager from play store.
still not the greatest and low signal even in same room to router but working i suppose.
Just funny how my S3 has a much stronger signal compared to the 6800 every wifi ive ever used.
Would be good if somehow the wifi drivers from S3 could be used somehow?
