I haven't had any issue with wifi after turning on/of flight mode.
More wi-fi problems
- Thread starter tai4de2
- Start date
Noticed something interesting. This is my third titan from at&t. The first two had aluminum back shells,I'm pretty certain of that. This unit has a plastic shell. That could explain signal strength improvements. Anyone else notice this?

noticed something very interesting, wi-fi stalled again today so I tried to run BandWidth app to check connection speed etc. and the interesting thing was that it was pinging servers and was getting response (latency around 60ms) but no download and upload.
What you think about that guys?

That's interesting. Next stall I'll check as well

These issues must be taken seriously by HTC/AT&T
I've read through this thread and have tried everything. Thanks all for the great feedback. Showing up this late on the thread has saved me a lot of time. Still, I don't think there will be a viable solution until HTC and/or Microsoft release appropriate patches to address these issues.
My main concern at this point is the WiFi reliability (or lack thereof). I own many smartphones, all of which work on my wireless N network. These include iOS, Android, and one other Windows Phone (the original Focus), so I'm feeling good about placing the blame on HTC. It's probably a driver issue. I'm speculating, of course, but given the fact that different combinations of antenna states (on/off) seem to impact the effectiveness of WiFi, it could be a driver for any of them or a combination of some. Long story short, I'm not holding my breath on a swift fix from HTC.
I'm also having the disappearing keyboard issue once in a while, but I can deal with that one, only because the WiFi issue hurts so much more. The 4G (HSPA+) is much slower than it should be for me. Until last Wednesday, I was using a Motorola Atrix 4G that was incredibly fast. I'm not thinking AT&T is throttling Titan phones, but rather there are some obvious antenna issues that need fixing and are probably impacting overall signal quality regardless of type (WiFi, 4G, etc.).
Just to add to the basket of data, my Titan does have a tethering plan associated with it which I have yet to utilize. I have only owned the phone since January 5th, and still my issues presented themselves right away. My WiFi setup consists of a Belkin Wireless N router using WPA2-Personal with AES for authentication.
UPDATE:
I've tested the WiFi on a handful of networks and now I feel like perhaps the metal enclosure is having an impact on the WiFi range. Turning antennas on and off just results in the same inconsistent results as leaving things alone (at least for me). When I'm close enough to my router, the Titan works beautifully. When I'm downstairs, my connection is unreliable. The Samsung Focus I have works no matter where I am, which has a thin plastic enclosure.
As for the HSPA+ slowness, it seems that my home signal isn't that great. It performed well outside of my house. I also ran a tethered speed test and was seeing speeds between 4-5 mbps down and 1.3 up. I good with that.
The disappearing keyboard has also surfaced, but it's really not that annoying (yet).
Last, the audio sounds terrible if I don't keep SRS enabled. This is the opposite of what I've read from other users.
Overall, I love the phone and don't see any problem worth returning it for at this point. Hopefully my assessments are good enough to hold true and not haunt me later.

The disappearing keyboard issue has cropped up for me as well. It must have something to do with the way the OS handles software interrupts between running and background tasks/apps.

My problem is a bit different. My issue isnt the reconnecting for be but maintaining data traffic... This is my second Titan (traded first for a SGS2 and returned) but on this phone im having a weird issue where randomly (and often) my Titan wont pull any data from my wifi network. Its connected and all but suddenly it gets stuck loading a page or buffering a video etc. where its stuck like there is no data connection or something. I always toggle wifi on and off to get it going again or unplug/plug the router. Has this ever happened? I just want to know if there is something in my Titans antenna or is it the router because I never has this issue before with previous phones including my first Titan... 3G/HSPA works flawlessly though
Hi, I have same problem + reconnectin issue. As much as I love wp7 titan is going on ebay now, cant live with that anymore. Htc foocked big time.
Can anyone determine if its a hardware or software issue? If its software, then its fixable... hardware, sold
Update: As suggested in this thread, I disabled celular data when Im at home where im usually connected to my wifi, and I have yet to have a stall/data hangup. IMHO its definitely software issue or driver issue where something happens toggling between cel data and wifi when both available where it just screws something up. I hope AT&T or HTC addresses this before before the Lumia 900 is released or... *you can guess the rest*
Still love my Titan though

I came in late to this thread but yes, I have a Russian Titan, which is like the UK one. Sometimes, Wifi would not work and I have to turn off the data connection for it to work. Seems like an OS problem, where it is still routing through the data connection (which doesn't work properly in my house).
FYI, I thought it was hopeless so I tried a hard reset (very annoying) and it seems to fix my WiFi problem !
Since 4/5 hours I can use it without any lag or disconnection. I'll tell you more in a few hours...
[EDIT] I confirm : WiFi problem is now fixed !

I also have the wifi "hang" problem.
WiFi + 3G = regular hangs. The Wifi doesn't seems to drop/disconnect, i have the full signal strength everytime. But the connection is dead.
I have the problem even under 1 meter of the access point.
I don't think it's an signal/antenna issue. Sound more like some bug

I have the ATT USA version of the phone and have not run into any real, data switcing problem between WiFi and phone data usage.
.
but I tell you this, 3FT or 1 meter or closer next to a WiFi is not going to help, back off a bit, that is way too close.
I suggest you go to HTC UK's support site and explain your problem to them. I did that, and so did some other people. If HTC get enough cases of this, they will rush to a fix faster.
I am so happy right now because i didn't trade my UK Titan for ATT's one because almost all customer at AT&T is having various of minor problem while mine run completely fine.

I found this : http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...c43-8181-28482fb207b6?page=1&tm=1328664675371
If you read the answers, they talk about the not working wifi with data enabled
If you have the Wifi / Data "conflict" i suggest you to post a message here

Same crap here. My data just drops as for wifi. It shows connected, just no data passing through. Disabling and re-enabling wifi usually fixes it. Problem was on 8170 also, so I rolled back to 7720. No difference really. And yep, cellular data is slow as lots of people have already reported. I'm about to send the phone for replacement as it's getting annoying.
I loss my wifi connection all the time, to get it back on I gotta go to wifi settings and it automatically finds and connects to the network again. No cellular data on so that isn't the issue.
I just flashed the 8773 ROM, it can't connect wifi while I was talking on the phone!
