[Q] So, anyone having WiFi issues with their Sensation?

My WiFi constantly is getting dropped. Even when it's just sitting on my desk in front of me. So I'm not even touching it (not death grip related). I'm about 15 feet away from the router. Anyone else having issues?
Here's the distance I am from the router: http://twitpic.com/5che9y

Do you guys read this board or do you come here, close your eyes, and then post?

How about the rest of the internet?!?
Every good tech site has reported possible problems with the Sensation having 'DEATH GRIP' issues...

hahaha. Yeah, I haven't been on active in about a year or so, but not so much a noob . First thing I did was a search (which is down right now) and hit the first few pages to see if any topics had anything in the title. I guess I could have done a google "site:xda-developers sensation wifi" search.
So.... How many out there are having non death grip related wifi issues?

LOL
Yes there are and will be a influx of newbs because of this phone but it won't be the last time either....
Back to topic.
Some may have wifi issues and is warranted. No I am not talking about the death grip issue, just that there is an option on the phone to increase reception by going to the advanced menu of the wifi setting. There is a toggle that reads to the likes of wifi best performance.
This is probably for some instances where wifi is weak but some should try and report back if it helps.

Yeah, I've got that sucker checked, and am still having the same issue.

Yes! I have posted another thread about this somewhere in the last 24 hours. I am having wifi issues. My download speeds seem to drop to <10% of normal and the only way to fix it is to cycle wifi off and on. Upload speeds remain the same. This problem is definitely not death grip related since the phone is on a table for most of these tests.

I have read recent threads to see if tmo has your correct IMEI on file as well as an updated SIM card. I did both yesterday. I activated the sim I had that came with the phone and confirmed that the IMEI was indeed correct on tmo's system. I did this via live chat.
After doing that, my data has been pretty constant. No hangups here. I use wifi both at home and at work and connect without a hitch.

same issue here. phone is on my desk here at home about 6 ft from my router and it just drops randomly. its quite annoying. im not touching it so its not deathgrip. though it has done it while im holding the phone vertcially (that is, not holding the top where the antenna is). for some reason i have a hard time getting anything other than edge in my house so i have the wifis on all the time.

Wifi. Not the mobile network. IMEI has nothing to do with it.

well, since i have the option, i decided to try another router. i was using a linksys/cisco e3000 with dd-wrt firmware. the 2.4 radio was the only one on and it was set to g-only. i still have my old linksys wrt54gl sitting around so i plugged it in a little bit ago. obviously 2.4 g-only mode and this is also running dd-wrt. ive been fiddling with my phone here in the same 6ft range and ive not had one drop. perhaps its a router specific issue? i dunno. ill see if i have any more issues tomorrow

I made a thread about my wifi issues a week ago when I got the phone, but I'll join in here too.
My phone just refuses to actually associate with a network most of the time. Stellar signal strength, something else is going on.
the WiFi status menu accessed by dialing *#*#4636#*#* may be able to help some of you.
Mine will say the following:
then
Network State: Disconnected
Supplicant State: SCANNING
Network State: Disconnected
Supplicant State: ASSOCIATED
then:
Network State: Connecting to [insert name of wireless network here]
Supplicant State: ASSOCIATED
then back to:
Network State: Disconnected
Supplicant State: SCANNING
When it is in "ASSOCIATED" state, it lists a signal strength, BSSID, link speed, and MAC address of the AP. No IP address of course, it doesn't get that far. The scan results shows about 30 entries (half a screen full of tiny text) all the same SSID, one per AP and the APs are all over (big tech company with a very solid network).

just to update, ive had my sensation running on my old router for about 4 hours now (with the "best wifi performance" option OFF even) and not a single drop, even holding landscape. it seems the phone and either the e3000 or the version of dd-wrt on the e3000 have issues working nicely together.

I'm experiencing the issue where my wifi bandwidth drops to a very slow (roughly 300 kbs) rate after spending some time on my wifi network. Restarting wifi on my Sensation immediately resolves the issue, only for it to crop up again sometime later.
On the topic of it being a router issue, my home network is 2 WRT54GLs WDS'd together (running Tomato) that offers no issue for any other computer or phone.
I returned my first Sensation that was experiencing the issue and received a second, which acts in the same manner.
Quite frustrating, as I rely heavily on wifi at home as even my cellular reception is not the best where I live, forget data, and use wifi and wifi calling to get by.

[Q] Wifi at home uses more battery than at work and 3g?

I have only done this for 2 days so it is hardly scientific but I noticed that for some reason when the infuse is at home on wifi it won't stay asleep. It divides the time between 800mhz and deep sleep. When at work it will stay asleep probably 95% of the time while on wifi. The signal strength is about the same according to wifi analyzer. Is my router chatting with it more than work? Neighbors wifi signal competing? I am stock and rooted just last night. The next thing I planned to do was load better battery stats to try to see what is eating up the battery at home. Maybe change the channel? I think work was 6 and I am using 11. I also noticed if I turn wifi off at home and use 3g it uses less and stays asleep.

It does sound like some interference, I would try changing the channel on your router to the same as your work's.

I think I figured it out. Apparently my android devices hate WEP. I know I shouldn't be running WEP but my neighbor is running open so I figured people would go after him first. Anyway after changing to open or WPA the infuse and transformer both sleep about 80% of the time with wifi always on.

Wrong again! All was fine until I added my other wireless devices back. The android devices then went back to not sleeping. Searched xda and it appears the dlink dir-655 that I have tends to do this. Strange thing is that it behaves as long as my windows computers are not connected via wireless. Any suggestions on a router with gigabit ports?

Netgear WNDR3700.

Thanks. I saw this one on newegg but the last 10-20 reviews weren't great. I assume you have or used it? Are you using stock or alternative firmware?

Stock firmware. It works well, has great coverage. I currently have three in use here at the house (fairly complex linked setup for auto failover to two ISPs and bridging) Never a problem with any of them.

Sounds like Netgear finally got their **** together. I've had many Netgear routers plagued with wacky firmware problems like shutting off DNS access because it decided the computer was infected with malware for requesting DNS too often. (affected 3 completely different Netgear routers).
However even if the stock firmware gives you problems, I believe the 3700 is very well supported by DD-WRT. I'm running DD-WRT in access-point-only mode on a 3000 or 3200 right now (I forget the exact model, it's not a 3700). As soon as I bother to buy some antennas it's getting replaced with a Ubiqiti Rocket M5 though.

Thanks I assume you have some windows devices hooked to them as well? Like I said the dir-655 works great until I fire up the laptop. One other report was some HP software is constantly polling so i will try to delete all that and maybe a few other settings but most threads have no solution.

Linux, Mac (Lion and Snow Leopard), Windows (Vista and 7), iPad, iPhone, Android, Wii, Samsung BD, Sony BD, Slingbox, all connected and functioning.

Can you set DTIM on that router? Just curious what it was set at on that router. I fiddled with that on the dlink but couldn't find a setting the tablet liked. It got better but never went to sleep like it should.

Thanks for the recommendation. I swapped out this weekend and have seen greatly improved sleep when I leave the devices idle.....over 90%
Had an issue with attached devices list being blank. There are a bunch of links on the internet about it but no solutions. For whatever reason it just started working 2 days later? Anyway, so far so good.
Thanks!

[SOLVED?] WiFi and Deep Sleep

Ok, so I think I've figured out why my SR wouldn't go into Deep Sleep when WiFi is on. I think it stems from fact that there's a lot of multicast traffic (IPTV) on my network. I'm a U-Verse subscriber with fiber to the home (FTTH) and my entire house is connected via Ethernet, including the set to boxes (STB). No coax whatsoever is connected. As a result, my STBs share the same network as my non-STB devices (WiFI, Servers, PCs, etc). This causes the STB IPTV traffic to flood the network including the WiFi (my theory). I decided to test my theory by moving all my WiFi APs (3 of them) to a separate subnet, thereby eliminating multicast completely from the WiFi. And what do you know?...my SR goes into Deep Sleep when WiFi is on.
Hope this helps others with the same problem. Switches that are more intelligent can help with the filter multicast more dynamically. Look for something that is IGMP aware and that should help.

How did you get FTTH with U-Verse? It is typically FTTN.

I think it depends on your area. My friend lives in a brand new house about .25 miles from me and he has FTTH, while I can't even get FTTN because my neighborhood is 15 or so years old.

Some wi-fi routers are better than others for this issue.

I've attached a betterbattery screenshot of the wifi related kernel wakelocks I get. This is supposedly from the wi-fi router saying "are you there, are you there, are you there".
This thread talks about the issue and even recommends a router model that does not cause the problem.

The wakelock described in that article was essentially my theory, but for multicast. I noticed the lights on my APs blinking like crazy. I'm using the exact same three APs, just now separated by a router. I'm running DDWRT on three different types of APs as well (Netgear WNDR3300, Netgeard WNDR3400, and Linksys E2000).
As for FTTH, yes...there is a single strand of fiber going into an Alcatel-Lucent NID and then Cat5 to a 2Wire gateway that feeds the Ethernet to the rest of the house. Pretty killer setup. I've got GigE everywhere with 2 ports per room...even in the garage.

Heh, nice. I've got FTTN, but the VRAD is like, less then 100 feet away, so they can easily provide me with higher then promised speeds (I have the 24/3 plan, I get 26/4).

Good to know they are finally doing that. Maybe eventually they can compete with FIOS on speed. Gotta love 44 down and 35 up.

I think my skyrocket is just defective
Well this doesn't appear to be the problem with my Skyrocket. I got home, took it to my friends house and connected to his wifi. (Not Uverse) Phone spent 95% of the time awake and 5% in deep sleep, and it was just sitting on the couch next to me with the screen off, I never touched it. So then I tethered it to my Galaxy Nexus, and the exact same thing happens. I thought maybe this would be the case, as my Galaxy Nexus has no issues going into deep sleep at home on my Uverse wifi setup. I really believe now that there is some defect in this phone, and will be returning it to AT&T for a new one. Or some other phone even.

I have this same problem on my FIOS home wifi. Plagued me for weeks. Looked for solutions, tried everything. The router just sends out too many ARP requests, which constantly wake the phone. Even on boneStocketeer with background sync disabled and no apps installed, not even signed in Google account, I'd still get like 15% wake locks from wlan. I've given up at this point I've tried everything on that router. And since ARP doesn't have a port, I can't block them.
If I set up a separate AP connected to my router with dd-wrt, I could filter multi cast stuff like that?

Wouldn't a simple solution to fix the wake lock caused by wifi be to change the wifi sleep settings so that the phone turns off wifi when the screen is also off?

Well yes, that is what I'm currently doing, but LTE is much more of a battery hog than Wifi. So I get about 12 hours on battery, with fairly light to maybe moderate usage, but better than nothing I guess. It is frustrating because otherwise this phone is just absolutely great. Super fast, and LTE is amazing here in Houston. I will get this figured out eventually.

I can get up to 17 hours with moderate use, I usually leave LTE on all day, and it is a huge drain when the screen is on. But it is better than nothing, better than what I was getting on my Inspire. I think the Wifi also has more to do with the ROM you use, when I was on stock I got better battery life when I used Wifi all day, rather than leave it off and have LTE on.

Well my skyrocket wouldn't take the update that I guess came out just a few days ago (probably because it was root and had CWM on it) but whatever. I was FED UP with this thing. So I downloaded the UCLA rooted ROM and Modem and wiped the whole blasted phone. Factory reset/wipe data, Formatted /system, wiped cache and Dalvik. There was nothing on the phone (except the internal and external SD card where my titanium and nandroid backups were at. Flashed that ROM and Modem. Set up phone, restored JUST my downloaded apps like games, etc. Froze AT&T bloat.
And I no longer have the sleep issue.

I solved restarting my router.
AUs

I just got this issue too.
Tracked it back to SX Virtual server and Dropbox, and now the wakelocks seems to be gone.
What I did was this:
Tried Shark - it showed that there was a lot of packets sent to and from local computers on my network. Nothing more useful info from that.
Tried Network Log, it showed the amounts of packets sent and receieved by Kernel. And most of them was sent to/from local computers, using specific UDP ports.
Used TCPview on the computers to see what it was. It informed that the ports was used by two programs: SX Virtual Server (identical to D-Link Shareport) and Dropbox.
I uninstalled SX Virtual Server/Shareport (it's useless anyway) and disabled Lan sync in Dropbox.
Now, the Kernel network activity is almost idle.
Hope this helps others with this issue.

[Q] Issues/Questions

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.

WiFi issues

Hi,
I have some WiFi issues. After a time no data can be send and received over wifi, but I'm still connected. I have to reconnect wifi and after this browsing the net is ok.
I have this on 3 different wifi Hotspots
Anyone also have this issues?

I have it too on LG G4. Anyone know how to fix it?

I have the same problem if i move to fast away (about 15m not out of range).
It could be my dual 2.4GHz/5GHz Network, but I'm too lazy to test it

I have it on both 2,4 and 5 GHz.
The last hour I can't connect to any SSID. And suddenly it works.
I Hope, that this is a software/firmware issue and they fix it in the next update that hopefully come soon.

Boy, am I glad you are making this thread to report on this issue! I am having the very same problem and it is driving me bonkers!
I am trying to review this device for my YouTube channel and this wifi issue is NOT helping. So far I have tried booting in safe mode, connecting to other wifi networks and reconfiguring my internet to no longer bridge together the 2.4&5 GHz bands.
What I am finding is that safemode has no effect but I can connect to my in-law's network just fine. When I changed my network settings I was able to show that it simply just doesn't want to fetch data from the 5GHz band. It works just fine on the 2.4GHz band but now I am not enjoying my potential wifi speeds. Sony really needs to fix this. The last thing I was going to try was doing a factory reset on the device but I don't think it will matter.

If you have wifi issues, try to change channel, etc- from 13 to 11, or try update wifi firmware.

June update is around the corner, highly likely next week. That one might include fixes also.
But as an established youtuber I would reach out to Sony directly to get confirmation on the issue and potential fix.
Also place to get direct answers would be talk.sonymobile.com

I cant say I've had any issues, but I'll keep an eye out. I've streamed music and radio stations for hours with no issues, and I'm guessing this problem would present itself there.

I can confirm I am also having this issue on more than one wifi connection.
I hope this is a software issue.

I can't explain, but the last 2 days no issues. WiFi works without problems on both 2,4 GHz and 5HGz.
Also the "bug" in battery stats with high WiFi time (more than 300 days!!) is gone.

I also have a wifi problem , but I have two access points linksys ea4500 and wrt1900ac on the first one it works perfectly on the second one stays connected but there is no internet, My issue specifically applies to wifi ac otherwise it works well... similar to my pervious lg g4

Same here. I can confirm that this can happen even on 2.4 or 5ghz wifi networks and that it's not a channel issue because I live in countryside with barely any other wifi networks.
But the problem is so much strange. For example, it will stop to work randomly when transfering data, watching youtube videos or such things but this never happens when using chromecast. I can pause, play, the videos, etc. with no issues. Like if it needed some heavy traffic to start having issues.

Same issue on my xz premium. Using both 2,4 and 5GHz at home. Having the issue also on all of my 3 WiFis at work.
WiFi is draining out my battery. 60% or more and around 30days of usage (having my device for a week now)
At the same WiFi at home are several devices connected without any issues. Xperia X compact, Z5 compact, ipad, Sony Soundbar. Sometimes my XZ Premium shows me "connected to WiFi without Internet"
This is the worst Xperia experience ever

I've also posted the same. And many others also. Let's see what happens

My WiFi says it's been running for 34 days+ but my connection on 2.4 has been good and solid from the start. I have no problem with there being an internet connection. I am fairly certain that the two issues are related in some way and some are having more problems than others.

I haven't had any problems, but then I did a complete reset of the phone a few days after I received it. When in doubt, that might be something you can try.

Turn off Smart cleaner.
That's the cause of WiFi disconnection and battery drain.

I have no wifi issues (2.4 only - no 5 for me) but it says that wifi has been running for 669 days. LOL
I sure hope Sony fixes these silly bugs.
