Hi,
I recently returned my first Gtablet due to the fact that it would never wake up from sleep mode (had to do full reset). The second one I have now is working great except the wifi signal strength on it is pretty terrible. I have a Linksys E3000 with DD-WRT on it and even if I hold the Gtablet straight above the router I get only 2 bars of signal on the tablet and about 75% signal strength in DD-WRT. I've tried this with another access point as well and still have weak signal with this Gtablet.
The first GTablet I had didn't seem to have this problem.
I am running Vegan 5.1 and I tried both with and without Pershoot's latest kernel with the same results.
Any thoughts on settings or anything that might increase my wifi signal strength? I cannot use my wifi from the other room because of this, I routinely did this on the first Gtablet that had the wake issue. My archos 101 also works fine.
Thanks,
Sean
I have the same problem. However on my n-network I have full signal strength, but that one I cant connect to. Running Vegan 5.1
On both my laptops I get full bars..
I am running Vegan 5.1 Beta on my Tab and when it was right out of the box I had this problem but ever since I rooted and installed Vengan I have not had a proble... I do notice that when it goes to sleep it turns off Wifi i guess to concerve battery but comes back on in a few seconds... I know not any help but perhaps your just getting a bad batch.. good luck..
I am currently on the TMO Stock rom but i do have S-off and rooted, I have noticed that at random times my signal will just drop and i will have an X where the bars are located meaning im not connected to any network. I am not sure if there is a setting that i am missing that cuts the connection after a certain amount of time or if there is a known issue with the Sensation, I normally just restart my phone and the problem is resolved for the time being
Mine does that too (XE), it regains signal after a while.
This has just started happening with me over the past week or 2 as well. I switched from ARHD to Elegancia ROM and it still seems to be happening. I'm going to try switching radios and see what happens
Probably a tower issue (not phone).

Hello,
I am having a problem that after few minutes of being connected to my home wi-fi the data just stop going through, with the signal still being full.
I have noticed that similar problems have occured with other devices on the forum (SGS2, HOX, SGS3), but haven´t seen it on HOS. Putting wifi on best performance and sleepmode changes don´t help. Neither static IP. My HD2 works perfectly on the very same network.
Does anyone else experience the same on HOS?
Do you think it is piecewise or typewise? Would swapping the phone for new one of the same type help? (I have 4 days to do that)
Thanks
Overall I am loving this phone. I have never had an Android phone this fast. I can't find a hint of lag on this thing.
I am, sadly, having a couple of other issues and want to get other peoples thoughts on things before I do anything "Drastic".
1) I heard somewhere they boosted the sound by 25%? If I have mine at full... I am hearing static and popping... like it is too much for the speakers. This is when I get a text/ringtone, or when I am playing a game (Robot Unicorn Attack for instance... don't judge).
2) Wifi.... I am getting weird "lag" when I am on wifi. Websites take longer to connect to and load... same with apps and the Playstore. Speed test I am only able to pull down 15MB/s. Low ping... but it takes forever (6-10 seconds) to connect to start the test. Have tried three different routers, same results (Netgear,an E3200, and a D-Link). Everything looks normal under settings. Full strength (in the room of the router... gets worse when I am downstairs). I unchecked the Wifi Optimization. Also it is doing this on 5 and 2.4 GHz.
3) GPS Lag - It seems to be taking longer than normal. I am going on a trip this weekend, and I will really get to test this then... but wanted to know if this is normal for an HTC device now a days (last one I owned was the Thunderbolt.... shivers, and GPS was always wonky).
Any help appreciated. Thanks!
1 - In my experience so far, the speakers are definitely louder, but I haven't found any distortion besides audio files that I artificially increased the volume on for previous devices.
2 - I haven't seen any WiFi lag yet. But I'm on vacation currently and the internet here is only 12mbps, instead of my 65mbps at home.
3 - The Engadget review noted some wonky GPS issues.

If you could... when loading up a web page or something... see if it is taking longer than normal to connect to a web page initially. Mine is acting like there is no internet... then all the sudden it loads up fine.
I am also noticing MMS is taking longer than normal to send (I had an S4 before this and it didnt take half as long... maybe it was compressing it more?)
I have just had radio issues in the past with HTC devices and want to nip them before it is too late.

I've been browsing a good bit on WiFi and LTE in the past 2 days. Haven't noticed any lag prior to pages starting to load, at which point I just blame the slow internet here.

Sadly I am still having this issue. Now that the phone has been out a week, anyone noticed anything?
I am not having issues connecting to the Wifi, I am just having issues connecting to the internet once connected to the Wifi. I have now tried this on 5 different home routers and several public Wifi areas and all the same results: going to a webpage has a delay anywhere up to 15 seconds before the page starts to load, and apps have issues connecting as well (Instagram will tell me unable to refresh, and Facebook will tell me I have no network connection). I have tried everything: Renamed the Device to HTC One, tried switching to 2.4 and 5 Ghz band, Unchecked WiFi Optimization... nothing is fixing this "lag".
Speaker issues - Still hearing a popping and crackling of the speakers, and I am seeing others are having the issue as well.
GPS - Went on my trip, I think I was getting the typical "Chicago GPS" lag before, as I would normally get a lock on with my GPS in 3 seconds or less while out in the middle of no where this past weekend.
I personally do not want to go through 15 phones trying to find one that has working WiFi, as it seems the One series has been having issues with WiFi since 4.3. Anyone have any suggestions?
Just browsing the forums for a WiFi issue my M8 has, to hopefully find a fix. This is what I have, not sure if it fits your symptoms as well:
Speedtest on network and bluetooth 11.39Mbps down / 3.85Mbps up
on network no bluetooth 13.98Mbps down / 3.98Mbps up
Speedtest on WiFi and bluetooth 2.53Mbps down / 5.53Mbps up
on WiFi no bluetooth 20.79Mbps down / 6.67Mbps up
Basically, if I keep my BT off, my speeds are fine and inline with what I expect to get, but if it's on it's at a crawl. Seems like WiFi and BT don't want to work in tandem. I haven't found much information on my issue yet, but I'm hoping to before I either do a a full reset or warranty replacement.

No problems here with simultaneous bluetooth and WiFi. I am using a 5GHz router.

This is kind of odd, I noticed that for the last week or so, the cellular signal keeps dropping constantly, I mean all the way down to no reception, then comes back up to 2 bars, I don't recall ever having a reception of more that 2 bars ( we all know that the signal on the ONE+ is not the best).
Anyway, the signal keeps dropping, it happens in like a 20-30 seconds span, it keeps doing that all day, I stated noticing that after people was claiming they called me and couldn't get to me.
It happened con CM11S, CM11 nightlies, and on PA(my daily driver) maybe the radio files got corrupted somehow, or because of the constant flashing?
Has anybody experienced this?
Thanks.
I have had this problem recently. Mahdi is giving me a fit right now. I drop calls when making and receiving a call.
