Awful wifi - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I just got my HTC One X yesterday (AT&T version) and my wifi signal SUCKS unless I am right by the router. It is also extremely slow. Connection also drops sometimes.
The weird thing is, I get perfect connection anywhere in the house on my iPod.
If anyone can recommend anything to help this, please let me know. I'm tempted to return it because of this crap.
(Upgraded from the HTC Aria, didn't have any wifi problems on that phone either)

HOX has some wifi issues all over the world. You better get it replaced.

I thought that was only for the international or tegra devices?

Problems like yours are not widespread. You got a bum phone. Return it.

I already took it back to the store and they tried to connect it to their wifi, nothing. So a new one will be here Monday, I was just checking if anyone knew a way to fix it. Thanks

[Q] Rogers One X - Dropping off network!!!

This is the second handset I've received and is now experiencing the same symptoms. With the phone sitting on my desk at work it drops the connection to the Rogers tower and sits in NO Service state.
Has anyone else experienced the same problems with their One-X?
Q.
Yep, I get this too. I'm quite sure it'll be fixed in an update, but in the meantime I have switch in and out of airplane mode to fix it.

Airplane mode doesn't do a thing for me to get it reconnected. I have to reboot the phone. I also still get the 'preparing SIM' message now and then. Others have attributed that to Sense and using another launcher either fixed it or covered up the message from being displayed.
I am curious if there is a hardware issue with intermittent contact with the SIM card.
Hey guys,
I got my HOX on Friday last week and I've rooted, unlocked the bootloader network unlocked it so I could use it with Bell. I haven't noted those symptoms being on the Bell Network. Could be worth to check with Rogers.
I had tons of connection issues on Rogers....until I disabled LTE. Now I get full bars all the time and never lose the network. I used to get 1-2 bars max on LTE and I would randomly lose connection completely. I think Rogers LTE network just sucks.

Yeah I never get much more then 2 bars on LTE either, but the speeds are lightning fast

AWS has terrible wall penetration. This is why Wind Mobile and Mobilicity customers are always complaining about the terrible reception and dropped calls they get. Rogers uses the same frequency.

Interestingly enough, I'm not even on an LTE plan. Confirmed with Rogers today that I am still on my Captivate's 3G plan.
I never get the LTE in the notifications bar just 4G and my signal will go from full bars to nothing.
Another interesting observation -although it might have been coincidence, when I noticed I was in No Service I tapped the back of the phone like anyone would when frustrated and low and behold, it came back online!
The evidence of a hardware problem reading the SIM is growing.....2nd phone showing the same issue though ????, very odd.
Q.
I am using mine on att and I am experiencing the same issue.

i think the issue is the phone not reading the sim card properly. I'm the "preparing sim card" pop-up has something to do with it also

My AT&T HOX is doing this too, network drops off and it gets stuck on EDGE.
Just started yesterday. I've had the phone since launch last Sunday.
Unfotunetly i have the same problem. i rooted my HOX (AT&T) to use another service. but my new service is not working properly, signal is always too weak. Is there anyone who knows to solve? HELP NEEDED...
This is weird I have had my One X for about two weeks and have never experienced a signal drop I've always been one LTE or a maybe for a few hours when I drive out to 4G or something, but never an actual drop. Not sure if this helps but I flashed the Asia Radio and I am using the Nocturnal xi40 rom.

thx for your help. but could you pls explain me how did you flashed the radio. and is this rom works for HOX AT&T model. as you know there are diffrences between global HOX and AT&T HOX.
I flashed the radios through the TWRP recovery, and the the roms posted in the other thread have all so far worked for my rogers HTC One X.

Anyone know a solution for this?

I can't seem to get any service from my carrier. The phone can get reception/signal, it's just the phone displays No Service from the pull down notifications. And when I go into mobile settings and try to search for a network or anything, It says "Error while searching for networks." Is this the antenna problem? Would I have to open up the phone and adjust something? btw does anyone know where the antenna is located at?

Well, this was happening when I was on the stock os. When I bought this it seem to got connection and then suddenly it stopped getting connection. I'm currently on Glorious Overdose V2.

I unlocked the sidekick, tried a ATT simcard got good reception like Tmobile, but still no service. Do you know where the antenna is in the sidekick?
Its probally an antena prob because surprisingly I droped my old samsung gravity smart in water by accident and my first thought was to take the battery out and let it dry,that succeeded on letting me turn it on fully but I had no reception what so ever which is odd but this sounds off topic a lil but I ended up bricking it o.o normaly t-mobile themselfs sometimes making horrible phones don't get me wrong their good but most of them are 2.2 froyo ._.

Data drops

Okay, so my phone had been connecting to data and then just dropping within a minute and try to reconnect and so on, so I sent it into Samsung. It turns out, all they did was take the update that Samsung had put out while they had my phone and said it was fixed. It may have seemed fixed to them, but it is definitely not. It seems as though it only happens when I'm in a 3G only area which is where I live so I basically cannot use my data at all. I know it works when I leave where I live because I went to Los Angeles last month and my 4G and my 3G were working fine. I just don't understand it. I know it's not because my area has bad 3G coverage cause it's fine. I'm just so flustered. Any help?

Looks like tower problem to me since it works fine in town.
Flash every modem available to see if you can find one that works with your 3G tower. Have seen older radios that worked better with 3G due to the towers being old tech. Since the phone and radios are new may not be able to find radio that works consistently. The 4G will work with with any 4G tower. If not able to get 3G contact Verizon and put in a ticket on your local tower. Hope this makes sense.

All radios are on Rootzwiki. If radios don't work call them back. Nothing wrong with phone if works in town although also depends how far you are from tower. If any Verizon phone works you have a case for upgrade of tower or phone. If just at home may give you extender. Do not let them charge you for it.

This device is solid on 4g and when in a 3g only area...soon as you get to a area where the data switches between 4g/3g/1x it becomes flaky at best no doubt. Beans rom seems to have the most stable data connection whem Im on the outskirts of a solid 4g signal...it is a device issue that should be fixed with a software update at some point. The problem is its easier for verizon to release a device with bugs, then to spend the extra time and cash to R&D and fix them before release date. I know it does not make sense, but think about it from there end. Lets say VZW has a device thats 90% bug free, so they release it to start locking people in on new contracts and rake in the money hoping folks dont complain about minor issues. If folks do comlain, well then vzw will run you thru the mill and send you a refurb, or open a claim ticket...by then after enough time has elapsed and no issue is fixed, they most likely will discontinue the device andoffer you a different one, passing the customer on to a whole new set of problems. Welcome to America, where its a dog eat dog world and we are all wearing milkbone undies.

Persistent Data Connection Problem

So, it's been more than a month now since I have not been able to get a solid 3G connection in my area where there is no 4G. Last time I asked no one was really able to help, so I thought I try again. If I turn on my data, it usually takes a while for it to connect and once it does, it stays connected for about 30 seconds to a minute. Sometimes it's longer, but it always drops eventually. Sometimes it has the 3G icon, but nothing happens still. It's a beezy to try and send or receive a picture message. The only time I ever use Internet now is if I have Wifi. I sent it into Samsung, got it back more than a week later and all they did was take the update the GS3 received while they had it. It seems as though if I'm in a 4G area, the data works fine, but other than that, it's almost nonexistent. Can anyone help me, please?

I don't know what to say bro. Is it just your area? How does your phone do on other areas? If it works in other areas then it's just bad service in your area? How does someone else's phone act around your house. You should compare it to another phone and see if that one loses data.

Lame man. My issues were terrible until I switched to synergy. I'm on the he modem now but have had luck with lg1 as well. HD was **** on my phone.
Have you tried any modem swaps? Comparing service on hour Samsung to say a Motorola or an iPhone will make you pull your hair out. I fell into it as well. My wife's iPhone wouldnt drop 3g and my old Motorola got great service in the same spot my s3 would drop signal/go to 1x.
Things really got ****ed up when I went to an area with 4g. Watching my phone, with 4 bars of 4g drop to 3g then to 1x, to no service at all for a few minutes then repeat the process over and over again made me RAGE!

I'm not sure if there is a solution, your best bet would be to ask h8rift or rohan32, they are 2 of the aosp Devs, they might know a fix
The problem itself may be the router, maybe a lack of open source drivers or modules and not so much the ROMs themselves

I'm on latest cm10.1 nightly and connecting to my 2wire router is a pain, sometimes it does it instantly, sometimes you have to wait for like 5 minutes... Really bothering me...
It just freaking stays and doesn't even try to connect... and then randomly bamm "connected" when I manually press "connect" it doesn't do **** most of the times. I had that problem back from cm10 earliest builds
