I've been saying that ever since the M8. Typically, my HTC phones have had connectivity issues as well, whether Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and even cellular signals have suffered with these phones. And, the fanboys like to write HTC passes and say because their phones work perfectly, you're trolling if yours doesn't AND you post that it doesn't. I was trying to view video last night on YouTube on my 10 and it kept stopping, I'm like what's going on and I look up to see I'm only on LTE, but the signal is weak in my house. So, of course I'm thinking where's my Wi-Fi signal as the Wi-Fi was on and when i looked into the Wi-Fi settings I could see my Wi-Fi signal plain as day, but it wasn't connected. Why? Well, maybe my Nexus was having issues too, right? Nope! It was connected to WiFi and the signal was strong as ever. I tapped my Wi-Fi on the HTC and it reconnected. But, it did not reconnect on its own. And, it continued to disconnect throughout the evening. Same ole HTC!
When I had previous versions of these phones I had the same issues. I used you think it was my Wi-Fi, so I did everything I could to troubleshoot. I added a different router and all kinds of stuff. The problem was never resolved. I buy a Nexus 6 and never had another Wi-Fi issue with my phone. I buy the Nexus 6p, no issue. But, I'll be damned. I buy the HTC 10 and BINGO looks like my Wi-Fi is dropping signals again. I'm looking at both phones and the 6p had a solid signal while i have to keep opening Wi-Fi settings on the 10 and reconnecting because it wouldn't do it on its own. WTF!
So yeah, the OP is right and I feel his pain. It's frustrating because as a fan you want HTC to win, but you feel duped by all the media hype about the phone pre -purchase only to discover that the media gave you more emotional accounts of how great the phone was than actual accounts. The camera sucks and so does connectivity. Those are major features that many other OEMs are consistently getting right. Sorry! This damn phone is going back!
