pretty sure its not hardware related because it doesn't happen on all routers/networks. If you've only tested it on one or two then try on a couple others and see. for me it only occurs on one or two out of about a dozen wifi networks

My colleagues have the same One X, they never reported anything and not even in office, while for me it does not work :/

I would say that this issue might not be easily noticeable to a common user ( at least before the JB update). As said by the OP, it is very much noticeable after the JB update.

Been thinking about this problem.

Could this be firewall related? Stopping the info getting through? Either the routers firewall or one installed on your phone?

I reverted back to stock earlier and performed full wipe and then factory reset and wiped the whole sdcard. So far I've been connected to internet for 90 minutes when previously it would be a few minutes. Will see if still connected when get up in morning

try stock Jb 4.2.1 fom pabx, works at treat.You know, I have the same issue but on carrier band 3g/H lol, I think that's related to my network booster though, nothing to do with pabx rom,as it happened on factory software.

Issue with WiFi not 3g - and if need to send back then must be stock

I set up my friends HOX last night to connect to my wifi same issue it connects allows a little data then disconnects, entered settings in my previous post and all was fine. This problem is not specific to HTC, JB or ICS I have encountered this on previous android builds as well and had to manually configure the phones wifi to connect. In almost all cases it's software not hardware related.

Just to make sure, are you telling that the WiFi disconnects? For me and OP here, our WiFi does not get disconnected at all. The device connects to WiFi and shows the WiFi Signal always (its connected in other words), but there is no data transfer stops randomly after sometime.

A new finding that i have is that if i leave it just like that, it connects back in sometime.

But if it connects again, does it remain connected permanently?

No it does not... weirdly i have not faced the problem so much in the morning, but yesterday night it was horrible.

Just wrote to HTC Service Center Techno Care, will have to call them and talk to them during the day!

That has also occurred and my initial post in this thread had also remedied the problem.

Thanks, i would try that today. If i remember correctly i had problems with my office connection also, which makes me think if i am going to have to do the same for all the WiFi connections.

So what did HTC say about your problem ? you said you were still in discussion about this.

P.S
If your lazy to input manually there are wifi fix apps on Play Store. Have used some on other phones with favorable results.

Can't remember the apps name as it was some time ago I used them, you could give it a go and if not working uninstall. Just check the reviews and make sure its compatible with JB and HOX.

edit 3 out of 4 reviews say that this Wifi fixer works on HOX

Also let me know what does our dubai HTC customer care says... By chance i was in Al qusais and went to visit the HTC centre(last time i visited it was 3 years back with my Touch pro 2)...

Talked to service center and made them understand the problem, it is weird for them given that they recently changed the motherboard.

They are going to escalate to HTC taiwan/headoffice, it is weird even for them

I have also mentioned that there is another person in Dubai who is suffering the same problem.

Lets keep our fingers crossed.

BTW, this is my video recording of the issue
