Hello,
Its been barely a day that I have purchased X10, came with the stock 2.1 version. I have tried everything I could to try to get the darned WiFi work with my laptop and it just refuses to. I make a WiFi connection, it says "Not in range.." when the laptop which has WiFi is sitting 2 inches away from the phone.
Sometimes, it won't scan. Other times, it will scan and disconnect. And then, I saw it as "connecting.." "disconnected". On the other hand, it has managed to reboot 5 times on its will. I just took the thing out of its box, like seriously?
And I've searched everywhere, no particular help. I have even done a "repair" from PC Companion. No use.

Where are you located? I did have this problem while in Europe a while back. I was not able to connect no matter what i tried. It was something to do with the MAC filtering. So in a nutshell you were not able to connect toy our wireless network? hmm Have you tried the handset in say a coffee shop or at a friends place?
I am in Islamabad, Pakistan. I came over to a friends, and here my laptop picks up the WiFi signal in the house, but the phone fails to do anything. And back at my place, when I make a WiFi connection, other phones do find it, but X10 seems to have lost all self-esteem, and its driving me nuts.:/

seems to me you need return it for another unit. Very odd. being a day or 2 old no problem.
I wish I could have been more help but you have clearly tried all you can!
good luck
Hmm, thank you. I will do that tomorrow.
I figured it just doesn't connect to ad hoc. When I tried connecting at the center on the router, it worked.
I found on these forums a way to edit some file to make it find ad hoc networks, but I can not even find that directory, let alone the file. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
And finally, my phone has restarted 7 times just today. Should I get it changed with another piece?
you need to root the phone to acess the desired directory
Hey, thank you. I did read about rooting in the past days here but it is something that I don't want to do, I hear it voids the warranty?
And yes, I got the phone set changed with another piece. This one has not restarted once, even after the 2.1 update. Thats a relief.
After I upgraded mine to 2.1, I had the exact same issue. I thought I had screwed something up during the upgrade... so I flashed it again and STILL had the problem.
After a couple of hours screwing around with my phone, I rebooted my wireless router and it connected right away and I haven't had any issue with it since.
Hey everybody, hope somebody can help me...
On my local train, there's a free wifi service that I used to like to use. Its an open wifi network with no password.
The first time I experienced problems with it, was when I upgraded my old Desire to Gingerbread. Following that upgrade, it would try to connect, but just get stuck on "getting IP address".
I recently upgraded to the Evo3D, and to my disappointment, the Evo can't connect to it either. It just gets stuck at the "connecting" part without ever succeeding in getting a connection.
Is this a problem with Gingerbread as it seems to be, or what's going on here? I'm rooted, so does anybody have any suggestions as to what to do?
Third post this week on this...I got it bookmarked for this reason...
Here you go bud...this should take care of it

Hi everyone,
I'm having a messed up problem here. Í've just bought a htc one x plus and after unboxing I did not have wifi for the first 45mins.
After that I had wifi for like 2 days and after the 2 days it suddenly couldn't connect again. Just out of nothing! All other devices like the Ipad, galaxy note and a windows phone got wifi.
When we remove the WPA-WPA2 security it can connect with no problems. Also at my girlfriend her house it can connect with no problems (She has a WPA-WPA2 security aswell)
It keeps looping at: verfying, connecting, receiving ip, verfying, connecting, receiving ip.. just keeps looping
We even replaced the entire router (We have a linksys router) with a newer model. After that I had wifi, so I thought the problem was solved. But after 2 days it couldn't connect again, once again out of nothing. Again the wifi connecting loop..
Can anyone please help me what to do? And can anyone please tell me if my phone is broken? I'm about to send it back...
Some more info:
Router brand: linksys
Security: WPA-WPA2
Problem: Can't get through the security of WPA-WPA2 at home.
MAC: We don't use mac codes to lock devices out of our network
Peers: We do not have a limit on peers so everyone with the password can connect

Thanks for absolutely nothing, this does not apply to the One X+ in the slightest.
This is a software issue, mess with wifi settings to see if you can get it to work.
have you tried to assign it a static IP?
Then this might help.
See this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973870

I'm having the same issue where I can't connect at work, but I can at home. Both protected networks.

Yes, because his advice is highly likely to send the person down the wrong road and on the path of warranty voiding if the user tries to do a self-repair.

Dude,
XDA is also for persons who root their mobile after first boot. My second solution is about the rooting help to overcome the wifi problem. AND HOW DO I KNOW YOU DONT ROOT.

Well I am facing almost similar kind of a problem. The phone wifi fails upon insertion of a SIM card. I am in touch with hTC support on this to no avail. Haven't found any good advice here except rooting the phone and trying WIFIX. I believe the moderators should combine all the WIFI and SIM related issues in one thread for One-X+ this now getting serious and is not one isolated case.

It does not look like you are having the same issue as Mrphazon. As the original post states, they are having a random loss of WiFi that can take a few days to happen. Two different routers both at home. You say that your issue is at work but fine at home which is different.
I hate when people see one device not working and all others are, it has to be the fault of their device. This is the wrong way to think. If a router locks up, devices with a valid IP address will continue to work. Only the devices which request a new IP will not work. If you could never connect at work, then you never got a valid IP.
So seeing you can connect at home, try a friend's network or several hotspots. If they all work, then get your IT department at work to power cycle the router/access point. If a power cycle does not work, then check your password. I'm almost 99.9% sure you do not have a problem with your device.
As for Mrphazon, seeing the same issue on two different routers indicates a good chance it is the phone.

Interesting problem... Do you happen to know what features your SIM supports?
I have used HSPA, and now I'm using an LTE SIM. Both work fine. If you have one of the new NFC SIMs (used for their new payment system) that Blackberry now supports, could be the problem, just a guess
Also if you have not replaced your SIM in a number of years it would be a good time to replace... but I'm guessing you have tried more than one already.

Maybe that's how you should've phrased it in the first place? Instead of saying "thanks for absolutely nothing." Or, you could've just said, "I don't think that will work because I believe it's a software issue."

Actually it is the same issue as I didn't think I needed to go into great detail since he already had. I was able to get connected at work and then it wouldn't after about 4 hours. Just kept cycling through trying to connect.
I was able to connect at home and while he couldn't with it being password, he is able to at his GF's which is password protected.
I've had the router reset. No luck.

I really had bad experiences with Linksys routers and several notebooks and Android phones. I wouldn't say you should buy a new router but have you looked if you have the newest firmware for your router? I have an Asus router and have no problems anymore. Before that I had a trendnet and it worked very well too. I bought before two Linksys routers because that's all what they had at Bestbuy and I had trouble with disconnects and slow connections etc. How many devices are connected to your router? Some routers don't like it if too many devices are connected on the same frequency to it.
Wifi ... repair ... wifix ... argh!!!!!!!!!!
Well I dont know which features does it support, I will google for the types of SIM Cards, already changed one as you had rightly pointed out. To clear the list I have checked following:
1. I have checked that my country (Pakistan) service provider is compatible with the phone.
2. I have checked multiple SIMS even tried a European SIM with the same result.
3. The set is WWE and not bound to any plan/carrier.
4. Had sent the set to retailer in UK, who checked and says its fine, they have sent it to hTC repair/support who say they have repaired it. However when i received the set yesterday back here in Pakistan, it is the same with the same issue of wifi & bluetooth dying upon insert of SIM card.
5. I have rooted the phone, tried WiFix to no avail.
One thing I noticed while pressing wifi on/off button, when i press, following status flashes ->Turning On-> Scanning-> Disconnected-> On. This happens in a split of a second.
Any guidance would really be helpful.

Yeah. It solved my issue. Thanks
Over 40 minutes of messing around my D-Link router, my One X Plus (aka Khwan) stopped being able to connect to my home wifi.
The suggestion of static IP gave me an idea of what could have caused the problem... so I undid what I'd previously modified on the router, which was disabling DHCP server.
I'm no techie, but DHCP basically assigns a random IP to the devices that connect to the router... for some reason, Khwan can't get one on its own without the DHCP being enabled, and that's why your problem got solved when you assigned it a Static IP.
Ultimately, all you have to do is get into the router settings, and enable DHCP! This way, neither you nor your future visitors will have any problems connecting to that router.
In addition, assigning a static IP might cause a problem later on, when connecting to a big network for example, where that specific IP is already taken (through the DHCP's allocation of IPs)... Then again, I don't know if the "assign static ip" in the advanced settings when connecting to the router stands for settings for when connecting to that router, alone or not.
In short: the solution is not assigning your phone a static IP. It's enabling DHCP on the router.
You're welcome.
