Stock phone. I downloaded the ota ics yesterday. I have been having serious wifi connectivity issues that I never had before. Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I've had no Wifi issues so far. Using Comcast cable modem, I am getting Wifi download speeds of 25 mbps & uploads of 5 mbps.

Thanks for the response. I am using comcast's latest modem and when it works, it's great. The connection does keep dropping, though, and I never had this problem before ICS.

Starting last week my Comcast internet service began disconnecting intermittently, especially late afternoon through the evening. After wasting time on their website and with an online chat, I called Comcast to ask about the modem. They told me I needed an upgraded Docsis3 modem. I went to the local office yesterday, and they swapped it out @ no cost.
Switched from Arris TM602G to a SMC smcd3gnv. Not sure which type modem you switched to.
So far, no problems with the new modem. What I don't understand (well, maybe I do) is why I had to spend so much time figuring this out. Why didn't Comcast notify me first?

Because they have the worst customer service known to man.

What router are you using? Sometimes certain phone OS's don't play nice with the certain router firmwares. I've had problems with my Netgear and my Tbolt in the past.
I am using Comcast's Technicolor TC8305C. I was told it was their newest modem/router. Works in tandem with Xfinity X1. Hated to do it, but i did a hard reset on the Thunderbolt today and so far everything is fine. It even took some of the lag away. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Are you experiencing any issues?
Yesterday around 3pm I used my phone as a modem for my laptop and it worked fine no issues. But later on at night around 9pm when I tried using the internet it would keep redirecting me to the T-Mobile Tethering Plan page stating I had to now pay for that service.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Is there a way around this issue?
Btw I am rooted and using Bionix 1.3.1
Might be the Rom you are using! I am using Axura 2.3.1.3 Voodoo Rom and have no issues. Try using a different Rom! Had that same issue when using stock froyo Rom!

Just tested on trigger in houston, tx and am not being redirected so far Lol.
when did you sign your contact with t mobile?
Ive never had that happen and ive been tethering forever, granted i dont go overboard with it and use it sparingly. How much do you tether? if its alot that may be the cause.
No problem here either.
Thanks guys for your inputs.
I use every other day so yea its often I use it but not for long periods of times..
I'll post up a link to a pic of my laptop screen so you guys can see what it saids.
My freinds wife got that same message using easytether on her mytouch slide. It looks like our ride is over on tethering, it was just a matter of time.

I got the message like 3 times but I could still use my mobile AP with no issues... think that was on simply galaxy 1.0 se.
I use it. Oh yea, I use it hard. I have not had any issue and hope I never do

my tethering seems very unreliable. im using the latest wifi tether apk but thats irelevant as i have used many versions but the problems persist. allow me to explain, im in no way new to android nor tethering. i have followed all the steps to get 4g tethering speeds ( toggle data off, disable 4g re enable and so on) the thing is i cant get a stable connection from my laptop or my xoom for more than 20 mins. the connection either goes idle or the phone just restarts or i simply get disconnected from it. im just wondering whether it' s just me or whether this a common problem among photon users. many thanks and great forum.

I believe the 4G on your phone becomes idle. Just a guess.
I have heard this happens to other Photon users as well. Not sure what the cause of it is or the fix. I'm going to try some things out when I get time and see what mine does. I've never tried to tether for that long of time before. Will post back if I find out anything new.
**I can only test 3G. No 4G in my area.
Are you rooted or using a rom?
**Ignore this (my) post...had something but changed my mind***
thanks. yes rooted & stock

i can torrent nd get bout 10+ mbps download running through tether for 3 hours no problem. could even get on gears of war on my xbox while tethering no lag no problem
favorite tethering app- open garden tethering (easy and you can lower the transmit power for huge battery life increase, i keep mine on the lowest available) but wifi tether if i need specific settings

thanks for your reply. im so jealous lol i do also get very fast speeds the only prob is that is they are not consistent. phone either reboots or drops the connections. i will try the app you mentioned also
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
maybe think about visiting the store you bought it from or a sprint repair store..? ive never had problems with tethering even being rooted on my htc hero tethering was easy as pie at 2-3mps(3G) or rsdlite the latest spf maybe?

Also if you start wifi tether first,
then turn on 4g ...
4g tether works for me using
wifi tether 2.06

I feel ya pimpin. I can log in, but can't play a single movie. Very annoying.
My netflix works just fine
I've had it on my 3d before and used it with no problems. Wonder if it has something to do with the last update. The ROM I'm using now is based off it

Working fine for me. I'm also using the latest update (ViperROM Redline v2.5 RC2). Just checked it, no problems logging in and streaming video.
Maybe you should try turn Wi-Fi on and see if it works. If so, you probably have no signal over there.

As I stated in the original post, I have tried on WiFi, 3g, and 4G all with good signals. I get 1.5 mps WiFi and 4-6 mps on 4G

I think some phones are just sol with the app. At one point in the netflix app release line, I could use it. But somewhere along the updates it became unusable. That's why I just now periodically try it from time to time; hoping whatever that's causing my issue will be resolved.
Ok I never had WiFi problems until I took the update minus hboot. I am running mean Rom with only HTC unlock is this normal?

Hi this worked for me. I'm stock and experienced connection issues with my wifi...sitting 2 feet from the router!!! Never had any problems connecting anything via wifi b4.
Go to settings>>wifi>>menu>>advanced. in the advanced section there is a radio button to enable Best Wi-Fi performance. Once activated I had no more connection problems.
Hope this helps.
Not sure if this might help but I changed WiFi to 2.4 GHz and like above best WiFi per. So far good

I did this and it worked for me briefly but then reverted to "authenticating" and then telling me it is the wrong access key for the network. I don't understand why it's doing this but at least for me it seems to be a 1.22 based problem as everything I've run with the prior firmware has been fine....

Your problem is different. Mine was dropping WiFi signal and then self reconnecting. Not anymore though. Your problem I have not came across. Have u tired running the ruu and reset your router?

I've reset the router multiple time and even gave my EVO a static ip to see if that would work. I guess I'll ruu and see if that will help. It's weird though.

I've seen this when using an iffy internet connection. The screen shot shows you on the EDGE network, so I'd imagine that's the issue. Connect to a solid wifi network and see if that fixes the problem.

Ah! So you are... so you are. Then you, like me, may be looking for a new internet provider soon. Or perhaps the wifi you're on is having issues.
During my testing so far, I have only seen this on my (somewhat shoddy) wifi connection, and not on the much better LTE connection. That said, it also could be the HTC server is experiencing difficulties.
Assuming the issue is intermittent, it is almost certainly a problem with the network or the service, not your phone, and there's nothing much you can do about it on the phone itself.
