Hi All,
I have a problem where at random times i cannot use any data services, this includes both Wi-fi or Data from my provider. I have to physically turn off the phone and reboot it for it to work, even then im lucky if it stays working.
Anyone else had this problem?
Oh and i have the HTC Mozart with the latest update in Australia.7.10.8107.79
HTC Titan too!
My Titan does this too. Very annoying! Most of the time it occurs with the data connection but occasionally the WiFi doesn't work as well. It can show 4 or 5 bars of 4G connection and it is unable to connect. I work in a basement where I get no data connection. When I leave work I have 3+ bars and it is unable to connect to data. It also sometimes happens when I leave home, where I have WiFi. It won't transition to a data connection. HTC fix this!

hi everyone
just got a Desire S this morning From Orange UK, but not sure if the Wifi is working correctly.
phone works fine as does 3G for downloading, however when i turn wifi on and connect it to the internet it stops 3G working on the phone and wifi doesnt apear to work either. I.e if i turn on wifi and then try and connect to the market place it gives a connection error. Also the same with the game Drag Racing, can race over 3G but if i turn on wifi, can not race over 3G or wifi says no connections.
I've also tried by turning the phone into airplane mode and then turning on wifi to see if that will connect but still can not use any apps that need internet connection.
Is this normal ?

Hi, i take it you have configured your wifi,
the phone will connect to whatever signal is the best if your in your home,but unfortunetley if you hold your desire s in both hands the wifi signal on these phones drops to nearly or none existant hopefuly they may be a fix soon have a read on here to understand more.

Thanks !
havent noticed any drop in signal, however i am sitting less than 3 feet from the router currently, its set up fine and can see an ip address and signal when i check the phone.
However i did try a software update check and it worked over wifi no problem at all.
I am wondering if Orange have set the phone so that it will only work on 3G for most applications as it comes with there "signal boost" app that sends phone calls over wifi.
I have had a similar problem with a Nokia N97 mini from them untill i debranded and re-flashed the phone.
Any recomendations to re-flash the phone ?

Signal boost app could you tell me more, im on virgin and have nearly zero mobile signal when in the house so maybe that might work for me,all i can suggest is turn off your mobile data in settings so it will only force connect to wifi, if wont allow its nasty orange forcing you as you said
and has for re-flashing its not as esay as the deire days iaf, you need to read up on here about locked boot-loaders, s-off etc,htc have had us over for now.
regards

its an app built in by orange that allows calls to be made over wifi if you dont have phone signal. looked in the market place and its not available to download on its own, on the orange website they call it Signal Boost (UMA), its more a gimick than anything.
turning off the mobile data side of things was the first thing i did hence why i thought wifi was broken. damn you orange !!
I'm having random 3G connection issues on my Samsung Focus.
At radndom times 3G connection is lost and the only way to get it working is to turn off and on the phone.
I tried putting the phone into airplane mode, turn off/on data, turn 3G off/on, nothing works, only a reboot works.
Today I checked my email on my phone and it says;
Last updated 4 hours ago
We're having a problem connection to exchange.xxx.com. Try again later.
Last tried 2 seconds ago
Error code: 80072FA8
This error shows up on all 3 emails I have setup.
IE doesn't work, Zune, any app requiring 3G connection.
And this happens at random times, at least once a day.
The phone has the lastest updates and is jailbroken.
One other thing to mention is, the phone is now having the 3G connection issue but i have it theathering to my computer and the internet connection is working while theathered, cause i'm posting this email.
I have no idea what's happening or how to fix it.
Thanks
Hi lately i have been experiencing troubles with my wifi.
The router signal is strong and whenever i turn on my phone it will be connected in less than a few seconds but WITHOUT connectivity. (ie. the wifi symbol shows connected but i cant browse the net)
The only work around for this is to manually disable and re-enable wifi for my phone to be truly connected. (Which is very tedious)
I know this may be a router problem as well but in the past i didnt have this issue.
Im using HTC Mozart 7 - updated to 8107
I was wondering if anyone is having this issue too and knows of a solution to it.
Thanks
unplug the router and plug it back in (after 30 seconds)
Home routers are noted to stop handing out addresses at random times. Rebooting re-enables this so the phone can get an address and get on the net.
Hm my router is working properly. All my other devices are connected with connectivity. Whenever i turn on my phone, it also says connected (but without connectivity), so the work around is to disable and re-enable my "phone" wifi and then my phone is connected WITH connectivity.
To do that is quite tedious every single time... and it seems like a connection bug in my phone if all my other WIFI devices are connecting properly
Thanks
Hi guys.
I have the same issues with my Omnia 7 too. Started a few days ago. Cant sync emails, nor surf on my phone. It seems like itss connected to my network. I have my latop and other phone working on it like a charm. Any ideas?
Hi,
I have the same problem on my Omnia 7 and it all started after the 8107.79 OS Update.
The WiFi works fine when you first connect but after the phone is not used for a few minutes and I turn it on, it's shows as connected but I can't load any websites.
If I disconnect the WiFi and connect again it works fine
This is a serious issue!!!
I have also tried to restart my router but this didn't solve the problem.
Did you guys found a workaround?
Thanks!
Same here
I have the same problem (after 8107 update).
It connects to my wifi, and strangely sometimes (but that's rare) working, and get pages to load on, but then it shows the connection, but can't load any page in IE.
Also, reconnecting doesn't solve always the problem.
Any suggestions what to do?
After i have done a hard reset, and reverted back to 7740, i don't got any problem to cennect to my home wifi.
But the disappearing keyboard is really annoying, so i want the 8107 update features, but not the bugs of it.
Still no other one have problems with the wifi connection @8107???
We are 3-4 who got the problem, so i don't think its so user specific...
Another news
After reverted back to 7740 i decided to update one more time to 8107. (If something will go wrong then I have a backup of my Omnia7 with WP7 Easy Backup).
So i updated to 8107 one more time (no KK2 update arrived, CSC and PDA is KI4), and now the wifi connection works fine.
So try to revert back to an earlier version (with a backup), and then update again, maybe it can solve the problem
Yea.. but that is really random then... its like saying ur update is better than my udpate!! haha even though its the same material overall
Im sure more people have this issue as well just havent seen this thread
Hello ! I have the same problem with my HTC HD7 I have to take off the battery to let WI fi work again this is very annoying!! A fix for this please!!
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
count me too ! Omnia W
Not working - again
I've done a backup in 7740, so i reverted to it for 1 day, and there was no problem with the wifi.
Then i decided to give another try on 8107 - and it worked well for 3-4 hours. That was 2 days ago (as you can see in my earlier posts)
But now it have the same problem, connects to the home wifi, but after a while the internet is missing, however the connection remains! Can't load any page on IE and can't connect with any app that needs internet connection.
This is a serious problem, and i see that others have this problem too, so we should deal with it!
Any expert that know something about this issue?
HTC Trophy with the same WiFi problem.
I have same problem on my LG Optimus 7.
anyone with problems receiving incoming calls too? sometimes freezes the screen and have to take the battery out and put it again to reboot!
Same problem here with HTC Titan. The prob started after the 7740 update. Now running 8107. Turning the WiFi off and on again does work (thanks Mercea2) but, as he says it is tedious.
I'm having a similar (same?) issue on my Omnia 7 - the problem hasn't always been there though.
I've come up with a work-around - turn off 3G data while in range of WiFi, and turn WiFi off when not in range and switch 3G data back on.
If only one is turned on at a time, my people hub updates instantly. If both are on, it takes many attempts and a long time.
Seems like there is some issue switching between 3G and WiFi...
3G/wifi not working together
As someone said it before, the wifi keeps giving errors if 3G data connection and wifi is also turned on!
If i switch off and back the data connection switch (!!), then the wlan works again for a while. If i switch data totally off then works flawlessly.
Any workaround for that?
Maybe a homebrew, that can switch off data connection temporarily, if the phone is connected to a wifi network, and after disconnecting it will switching back. But I think if it can be done, than just on fully-unlocked roms (i have Omnia7, and unfortunately DFT SammyRainbow is not ready yet)
My wifi/3G problem started with the 8107 update (Omnia7, not KK2).
So any suggestions what to do?
Ok.... this is getting on my nerve... whats the point of having wifi on if it doesnt connect the moment that its suppose to!!!
Can we inform anyone about this?
Same problem here with HTC mozart after the update... worked for 2 days and then no more wifi
Hope microsoft put an update soon
Hi guys,
My wifi/3G problem started with the 8107 update (Omnia7, not KK2), and i read about others have the same issue too.
The wifi connects to my home/work wlan, and strangely sometimes (but that's rare) working, and get pages to load on, but after a while it still shows the connection, but can't load any page in IE.
After i have done a hard reset, and reverted back to 7740, i don't got any problem to connect to my home wifi. I decided to update one more time to 8107. (If something will go wrong then I have a backup of my Omnia7 with WP7 Easy Backup).
@8107 the wifi keeps giving errors if 3G data connection and wifi is also turned on!
If i switch off and back the data connection switch (!!), then the wlan works again for a while. If i switch data totally off then works flawlessly.
I think the problem is only appearing if the 3G and Wifi is also switched on (maybe the OS doesn't handle properly the network settings in this situation)
Any workaround for that?
Maybe a homebrew, that can switch off data connection temporarily, if the phone is connected to a wifi network, and after disconnecting it will switching back. But I think if it can be done, than just on fully-unlocked roms (i have Omnia7, and unfortunately DFT SammyRainbow is not ready yet)
Or are there any registry entry that I can use to set this?
So any suggestions what to do?
I second that. Exactly the same behavior on HTC 7 Mozart since 8107 :-(
Happening to me too, Optus branded Omnia 7, 8107. WiFi works fine as soon as I turn data off, but its getting really annoying!
Have you guys interop unlocked? Im wondering if its related to that.
When i connect to my wifi i get good speeds for certain time.... Then after a few seconds i get very bad speeds... And then my speeds increases again and so on....
Anyone facing same issue?
Any fixes?
I had this problem too after updating but it seems to have fixed itself. Might help clearing cache from recovery or even factory resetting the phone. Also do you have Magisk or other mods?
I had this issue where if I rebooted I'd get quick speeds for a few seconds (just under 200Mbps) then it would drop to less than 5Mbps from then on. I ended up having to roll back to Android 8 (after wiping cache, resetting network settings, etc.) which has fixed it.
So I am also getting this but I think I know what it is.
At work I have to connect to a wifi network, then log in on a website.
Before the update as soon as I connected to the wifi I'd have no internet access until I signed in.
Now with 9 it continues to use the mobile data even after logging in. I actually have to turn off mobile data for it to switch to wifi. If I don't then I get the issue you all are having. When connected to wifi with mobile data off the speeds are consistent.
I have this exact issue. Sometimes I get my full wifi speed (100 Mbit) and then it drops to 0.5 and keeps on going up and down.
I've been having this same issue on 9.0.2, only on the 5ghz network though. Happens at my house, but not at work.
