Anyone else having WiFi issues?
I can connect to networks but I don't actually have internet access(I have tried on multiple networks, both secured and unsecured).
Any ideas?

I have had the same issue and it resolved after rebooting. But it came back once I let the phone idle for sometime. I have to restart the wifi for it to start working again!! I don't know much about this.. but its similar to the smartsync problem with One X.. except that the wifi disconnects every time the phone idles for a few minutes! Anyone else had this problem?

Try turning WiFi security off....

I had the same problem. Fixed it by turning off wifi, unchecking the "Use DLNA if DHCP is not available" setting, then turning wifi back on.
Faulty device
I tried all of those combinations but neither worked. Took the cell to a VZW store and they replaced it. Everything is good with this one, so the old was just faulty. Are you guys using any screen protectors or cases?

When this happens, go to advanced Wifi settings and check your IP. Most likely you have a 169. address and no useful default gateway. This generally happens when DLNA IP option is enabled and your DHCP server isn't fast enough for the [bad] rom settings provided by HTC. If that's the case, the just disable that option and cycle Wifi.
im having a problem as well just got my dna yesterday and it seems when its asleep for a bit i awake it and then disconnects flashes to 4g connected back to my network but i have no activity at that moment then i have turn wifi off and on to get it back
i know its not my network no other problems with over 5 other devices and never had a problem with any phone for years
My girlfriend has this issue with her DNA. They replaced it with a brand new one, same issue. We have a wireless router that has 3 laptops, another phone, two tablets plus my friends phones and tablets when they come over, no issues for anyone. But the two DNA's we have tried, do.
Connects, and then it says it is connected but stops working after a short time. Shows that it is connected but anything that requires internet sits there spinning. Disable Wifi and it kicks over to 4G and emails and stuff starts flooding in. Go into Wifi settings and turn it back on, and it seems like it keeps turning itself on and off, like it is stuck in a loop.
Both DNA's, same exact issue. BOth stock, non-root, both have had hard resets, nothing seems to fix it. Some searching on Google says that the issue, while not common, it's all that un-common either. Seems to be an issue with the phone itself.

I had the exact same problem when stock. I have not had that issue since I flashed my first custom rom. Clearly it is an issue with the stock rom.

it really isn't a big deal. If you have to return it for any reason bricking it or reverting it to stock isn't a problem and in all the years I've been working with Android, out of tens of thousands of users that I've had exposure to, I've never once have i heard of a carrier denying warranty work because of a phone being modified. they're generally just not smart enough to even know how to check if they even care to check. The only thing that I've heard about is people walking into store and telling them that the phone has been modified. In that case they will use it against you. Anyway you're better off with a third party ROM and a better kernel for this phone.
Used FXR from the market and fixed my wifi issues.

Went back to vzw, they said that HTC knows of the problem, it is software related but no eta on the fix. Not wishing for another thunderbolt debacle, she exchanged it for a RAZR HD.

THIS.
I tried it exactly how you said to, disabled the DLNA option, turned off then on my Wi-Fi, and boom, started working again. I thought my phone could have been faulty, but I bet anyone who tries this will see their issue fixed.

I'm having the same problem but the DLNA option was already turned off by default. Wifi works right after a restart and then stops working a short time later. Once it stops working, I get a blank screen when I try to view the available wireless networks, even though this screen was populated with multiple networks previously. Frequently, I get a "Process com.android.settings isn't responding" message. I had these exact issues with my first DNA and Verizon sent me a replacement. Same issues with the replacement. Anyone else experiencing this?
From my experiences wifi keeps my phone awake and data transfers like crazy. I set wifi to never stay on when my phone sleeps but this hardly ever works. Most times it stays on!
What's up with this? It works sometimes but what do I have to do to make it shut wifi off when I turn the screen off?

Install DataEasyPro if nothing else works.
AFAIK WiFi only turns off if the connection has been idle for a certain amount of time. If your phone keeps transferring data, WiFi won't shut off. Check your running programs and your sync settings for anything, that could be using your network connection.
The stock ELKC WiFi policy works fine. CM and ROMs based on it do not

This might be my only option... thanks.
My Question is when I'm at work my reception is terrible So I use tasker to turn off wifi, data and location access but my battery still drains fast. Is it possible that apps are searching for away to find data access constantly and that's why I'm still experiencing power drain

Could be download greenify and add all your data using apps and see if it helps

If you normally have no bars in that area, your phone may be constantly searching for a signal. You might want to consider switching to airplane mode to stop that... Just be aware that you won't have call/text while in this mode. This will also keep mobile data off although WiFi can be turned on and used in airplane mode.
Another thing you can try is get the 'betterbatterystats' app from these forums and check for unwanted 'wakelocks' after it's been installed for a few hours or more.
Sidenote: Having location (gps) ticked on all the time shouldn't drain your battery, but turning off the internet (mobile data/Wifi) when not using it is a good idea as you've been doing.

thanks for the suggestions I will try
Every now and again my phone won't make phone calls. When I hit call it pops up "call not sent" and goes back to the previous screen. I thought maybe out had something to do with WiFi calling but even if I turn off the Wi-Fi I have to restart the phone to make a call.
I have the same problem , requires a reboot to fix as well...

Have you tried updating profile then prl?
Settings>System updates
Maybe after those go to "Activate device".
Been there done that ... It doesn't happen often , only 3-4 times since I have owned the phone.

I'd love to figure this out soon. I only really have small gripes with this phone other than this.
Same issue, fairly rare. Thought maybe it was bluetooth related. But then it did it another time where I don't remember being connected. It is annoying when it does happen though.
Same thing happens on the M8 when we got the update with wifi calling and its enabled. Since i left it disabled i havn't seen it again. I think it is caused by wifi calling.
Try rebooting the phone.
I had the same problem, cant make calls or receive them, what worked for me was go into settings>network>mobile networks>network mode>prefered network WCDMA only
dont know if i have a faulty device or maybe it depends on the connection of my carrier...
Wifi calling is my vote.
Anyone else have an issue switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data? When I leave the house and turn off Wi-Fi, the mobile data will light up the indicator and have a good signal, but actual internet use acts like there's no connection. I have to disable mobile data, then enable it again to get anything to work.
This is using the Verizon version, and I also recall this happening on my V20. I had hoped this would've been resolved at some point.
I am having the opposite issue. When I don't have WiFi on and try to turn it on, the blue indicator lights up and then abruptly turns off.
The only way I have found to get around this is to tap on Wi-Fi and while it's lit, restart the phone all together. Then when it powers up, it will connect.
I'm having this problem I have to restart the phone for the internet to work again. I'm on the T-Mobile version

I was restarting as well, but found simply turning mobile data off and on would get it working again. Not a fix, but saves a little time.
