Ever since going from MyFroyo RC4 to RC5 & RC6 (and even the Cyanogen RC01, I have had problems with my wifi.
I am posting here to see if anyone else is experiencing these problems, and to find out what changed between RC4 and RC5.
I have no cell service at my house, so when I flash a new ROM, I need to leave the house and go to an area where I get service before I can connect to the Google Servers to set up my device. When on Wifi, I also have problems downloading Google items in the market (such as Google Search Bar) and can't even use Google.com to search for anything. It times out. I can, however, use other websites and download other items (once I've set up my device remotely).
If I am setting this up over Edge or 3G, there are never any problems.
If I re-flash back to MyFroyo RC4, I can use my wifi with no problem to do everything I need.
I really love the updates since RC4 - but am worried that I'll be left in the dust since all the builds since RC4 have had this issue for me. :-/
I'm in the same boat and experience the same WiFi issues.

I've never had a single Wifi issue, although I never really tested on RC1 too much. I'm currently running Eugene's newest CM6, have you tried that one yet?

supposed to be a cyanogenmod issue though i havent experienced it myself (i also have horrible service 1-2 bars edge max) using wifi everything loads up fast and everything downloads just fine! but if i were you i would try the nightlies they are supposed to have fixed the problem by now if im not mistaken
I've experienced a lot of this too. Marker downloads were pretty much not happening for me, no matter what - Wifi or Data. On data, it would download but never install. On Wifi no images in the market would load and no download would activate. I also couldn't use Google.com or sign into Gmail via the browser or other Google services. I did a lot of searching and heard it could be Google.
What I did to fix it... I did some nandroids, I did some wipes and updates and complete formats, etc. What I finally think I had was a problem in my packages.xml file where so many programs were mismatched due to Froyo's ability to use apps2fat32. I think at some point some nandroiding I had done,etc screwed up my package assignments and then I just fresh installed and DO NOT BACK DATA/SETTINGS UP WITH GOOGLE! haha, I honestly think that had a lot to do with it also...Go into your Privacy and turn auto restore off, turn backup data off, then reset your device with a wipe of it all and such, boot up and don't select backup with Google. I've had no more issues really.

I've actually tried the new nightly's and still have the same problems. I've also tried completely wiping it and starting from scratch- and made sure not to back up w/ GOOGLE servers- but to no avail.
I wonder if anyone on here can figure out what changed between MyFroyo RC4 and RC5 that could cause this - seems something is blocking the Google Synch. I've also experienced the problems mentioned above regarding the market items not downloading, no images, etc. Just seems weird that it worked completely fine before RC5, which came out around the same time as the Cyanogen 6 Slide RC1
From my personal experience I'd have to say that wifi is slightly bugged. Drops randomly and occassionally won't detect my network when other Android devices will (any encryption, which is for suckers anyway )
At least I know I'm not the only one w/ this problem. I couldn't find a cyanogen defect for this issue.
Same here. I have no wifi. My g1 connects just fine and my hd2 but on the slide its a no go. Ive tried everything but eventually just gave up. Im using Eugenes Ota update. Im not sure if its just the slide in general but my wifi doesn't work period. It'll connect but if i load up youtube or try the web I get a no connection error. Its very peculiar. Incredibly peculiar.
I am having the same issue. I noticed people talked about it with CM6 rc1 but not everyone was having the issue and the subject died off. Ive tried reloading, wiping everything, htcclay's new version but nothing seems to help. The wifi is just strange will work for a page or two than fail to load or loads half way. Also tried on several different networks. Does anyone know if the driver is the same in eugenes as in these later ones?
After wiping and keeping a good eye on everything, the issue I have with Wifi and the browser is that sometimes it just hangs about 75% page load and doesn't really change unless I leave the phone go for a bit and wait for it to load.
Downloaded Opera Mini (only browser I could find that doesn't use the native browser). With Opera, I've actually hadn't had any loading issues or anything weird like that happen. So many a possible partial-bypass is using another browser? It helped me, just thought I'd share.

Same bugginess happening here, too. Iffy, at best. Other than that and of course the non-necessary FN and CAPS light, this is the only issue, anymore, that I can see.

Thx donkey72!
I'm about to just toss my evo into the wall.
I read lots of threads and tried everything I found but still no go.
I went from stock 2.2 to the new 2.2 root.
From there, made a nand backup and updated to netarchy's kernal and rom.
Everything installed fine except for trying to connect to google to sign in to assign my google account to my phone. It was a 3g issue. I turned on wifi and signed in. Same issue with market. I can pull up the main pages but can't pull up app info page. I have to use wifi instead of 3g.
I found a apn xml file on another thread that everyone said works. It looks the same as the one I backed up before I rooted.
That still didn't work.
I restored my nand and everything worked.
But being the stubborn person that I am and was determined to get it to work, I tried it again, this time I updated the radio and wiimax. Still the same issue.
I went back to my nand and now 3g doesn't work for google/market again.
It works fine for everything else. speedtest shows 1mbps download speeds.
Web browser works fine.
I d/l netarchy's 2.2 rooted stock as well as steelh's 2.2 rooted stock but still the issue with 3g.
Please someone help me before I end up destroying this phone to pieces.
Oh another issue is if I do use wifi, some programs from market shows cannot install. I know the fix is to install from explorer but I can't find the reason why that is. In otherwords, why can't it install from market anymore?
I am having the same problem with market and syncing in 3g. All works in 4g. Stock 2.2 to rooted stock 2.2 a couple of days ago. Help
second thread of this type that has popped up, this just started happening to me today also.
Seems anything google related isn't working over 3g for me.
Wifi works fine.
Have tried several roms, updated radio to newest version (even though i'm pretty sure it was).
Tried ##768# and ##3283# reset.
Ummmmmmm.. Yeah that is about it. 3g signal stays connected and middle to high signal strength at all times. WTF is google doin here.... Glad it isn't just limited to me lol.
Sadly doesn't seem enough people having issues that there is a remedy is there?
I think one of the reasons is because the apn got messed up.
I found a xml file for it from cm6 thread but it didn't fix it.
I posted another thread requesting another one but no one replied to that one.
Another issue I found that seems to be 3g related:
So now my issue with 3g is that I can't get google to sync contacts, calander, email well, google talk times out, market can't pull open pages and now my current location city name.
Crazy ironic thing is that facebook somehow always automatically installs itself.
I keep uninstalling it and it somehow shows up again as version 1.2
A friend suggested I go back to RUU and start completely over.
I d/l 2.2 RUU and still issues with google, man wtf.
I used part 2 of the 2.2 root and still no good with google.
I guess I gonna go to bed with the battery taken out and see if that does anything when I wake up.
So I guess it was an issue with google?
I woke up and it works fine now...
I have a few issues with my 4g connection. I officialy get 4g where I live. When I connect to the 4g network I can't seem to view certain webpages with the stock browser. The page will load but will not load completely. Sometimes it the loading bar gets stuck at around 75% and the page never loads. I've tried stopping and reloading the page, but still doesn't load properly.
If I connect to a WiFi connection, any page will load with out a hiccup on the stock browser.
If I am on 4g and try to use another browser, the only one that works is opera mobile....
Does anyone else have the same issue or maybe know how to fix this ?
Have you tried factory reset? It is odd that the page would do that with the 4G radio

I get the same issue I just keep reloading till it comes up noticed I does it with sites that take s while on my pc also might want to check of they have mobile site should help
Sent from my Evo at the edge of hell
I notice sometimes this site does just what you described on my Evo over 4G.
I usually get the titlebar and then a white screen and the bar stays around 75% as well.
I think it's just flaky 4G network issues because most days it works fine and nothing changes on my end. Since my home is in a strong 4G area I notice the signal drops out completely some days, and is stronger other days so I think they must be messing with this system still.

That's what I thought at first but when I'm on WiFi I have no issues loading pages. It's really only when I browse the web that I have issues with. I can do other things on WiFi without a problem like browse on tapatalk or download files from the web or the market place with no issues.....
Also, opera browser is the only browser that works. The rest do not load pages properly.
I had the same issue, pages would not load on 4g only on 3g or wifi. I did a factory reset and same proplem. I had a custom rom so I decided to unroot and install the stock rom (pc361img) to take it back to sprint and bang it work after this. I then did the root again and havent tried another rom since then but pages load up properly now on 4g.

Thanks !!! It looks like this fixed my problem. I unrootedand went back to stock. 4g seems to work fine with the stock web browser. Then I rooted and running Sprint lovers Rom and so far so good.
Same has been happening to me for about a week now. I use Myrns as well.
Bump up, any idea?
Well, I ended up reverting back to Myrn's RLS2. Didn't have to unroot, but did have to do a wipe of everything. Tried going back to RLS3 and that doesn't fix it for me.
I don't live in a 4G area but was in 1 today while I was waiting for someone. So I decided to search online for a certain process that is always running on my phone that I though was killing the battery. Using Dolphin HD it opened google.com no problem then started acting weird. It took a while to be able to enter a search but it eventually allowed it and the results showed up quickly. No matter what one I selected, it would do what everyone else described. The last link I tried happened to be to this website and it seemed to get stuck like all the others and then I tapped the screen a few times and the full page appeared. I am also running myn latest beta. Weird.

Have you tried to un root and go back to the stock rom and see if 4g works fine?
Ok this is starting to happen again. I went from sprint lovers rom to myns newest release.
I'm gonna try to go back to Sprint lovers and see if that fixes it...if it doesnt I'll try to un-root then root again...

You probably don't have to un-root and root again, imo see if this relates to a fix on your problem.

That's not it, my rsa keys are fine. I can connect to 4g and download data without an issue, its just webpages that do not load properly while on 4g.
Anyway, I didn't unroot, I just flashed Sprint lovers Rom and now pages load fine on 4g..... maybe there is something wrong with myns Rom or something I installed...
My 4G issues have gotten worse....I can now connect to 4g, obtain ip address and actually connect to the 4g network....but I cant download anything. No data is transmitted or received....I cant load a webpage or download something from the market or even run a speed test....it wont transfer data while on 4G....3G and Wifi work fine.....just not 4G...
I checked my RSA keys and they are fine...I tried to delete my tree.xml and that didint help.
I tried to flash a different rom....didnt work.....
I tried to un-root and go back to stock...that didnt work either.....so my next step tomorrow is to take it to a sprint store and see what they can do (i do have insurance...) but before I do this, does anyone have any other suggestions?
I think I solved one of my two 4g issues.
The first issue I had was not being able to load web pages on any browser but opera mobile while on 4g. The second issue is 4g just stopped working. I can connect to the 4g network I just can't transfer any data.
I'm positive the first issue is caused by the app adfree. Once I reverted my host file and uninstalled adfree, webpages load fine in the stock browser.
I'm not sure about the second issue.... I got a refurbished evo and 4g works fine with this one......
I hope this info helps someone.
I can't be the only one with terrible Chrome to Phone reliability performance on my Evo. I thought this was a cool concept when it came out but since day one it has never worked reliably.
Most often when I send something from Chrome (on Win 7 laptop with Chrome 7.0.517.44) I get the message "Sent to phone." but nothing. ever. shows. up. on the phone.
After logging in an out of the chrome to phone app on the phone several times it will sometimes work for a while but the next time I go to use it it's the same deal.
This happens whether im on 3G or 4G networks. I'm running stock ROM, rooted, 3.30.651.3 with HTC #17 kernel.
In the interest of figuring this out I just wiped cache/user data and reinstalled 3.30 RUU. (still rooted) I also uninstalled the chrome plugin, reinstalled and restarted.
After logging in on both ends this app still doesn't work. I remember it working one time when I first got my Evo but it's been months and I don't know if this app has just gone by the wayside now or if it's not officially supported on the Evo or what the deal is? I asked another fellow Evo owner to try this app and he confirmed it did not work for him either. He is in a non-4G area I don't know if that could affect things?
I would think a fresh installed install of both the android app and the browser plugin would fix this but perhaps it's something on Google's end? Has anyone gotten this app to work in the past few weeks?
Any help is appreciated
I used it the other day without problem. Strange

It works fine for me. I would suspect a problem with your network. Make sure your firewall isn't blocking the program. Also switch to manual instead of automatic link execution. Maybe your phone gets the link but then craps out when it tries to run it.

I think you're onto something with the network comment. I'm using a cheap $20 netgear router that sometimes does other internet weirdness.
I just tried it on a commercial wifi access point and it worked fine. So I guess it's not my phone or my laptop.
This issue happens to me sometimes. The thing I noticed is when the problem does happen GTalk also stops workings. In order to fix this I have stop and start my internet connection. This bug has been documented. Its bug number 67 on the Chrome to Phone Google project page.
OK.. another plea for help!
I flashed MikFroyo 4.5. It was easier than I thought!
I didn't flash a new Kernel though.. I'm sticking with the stock one (for now)
OK.. my new problem is that I can't get MikMarket to work right.
I've found some solutions that I've tried and nothing's really nailing it down for me.
I'm getting a network error from mikmarket, facebook, ymail, twitter, etc..
I am connected to my wifi network and I can't for the life of me find any answers.
Anybody have any ideas??
After more tinkering.. I turned OFF my wi-fi, and began downloading via the sprint airwaves... everything works.
I mean everything! So I'm downloading my apps while it's working then I'll turn on wi-fi after!
If this is a quirk.. I can live with it!
Been also downloading apps from market website..

Do you have any data working at all?! It sounds like you don't. Does the same thing happen if you connect to 3g or 4g, instead of the wifi network you're using? I'm not too familiar with Mik's roms, so I'm not sure if there are any known issues or fixes with it. I'd also update your profile and prl, if you haven't already, althouth that shouldn't affect anything when on wifi anyways, but it's still a good idea after flashing a new rom. Did you do a full wipe before flashing the rom? Try doing a battery pull?
My MikMarket isn't working either...sort of.
It changed the name of the app to "Market" and doesn't have the skin anymore. Just looks like the stock one. But it does function perfectly fine. I don't know what could have cause that though.
my mikmarket is not working either
sometime during dinner my phone gave me a error message. and both facebook and market stopped workin and deleted it. cant seem to get it up and running.
I started installing my apps via market.android.com
I had my wifi on and apps were getting pushed onto my evo. everything worked, and quickly.
I turned off the wifi, and forced 3G mode to do the transferring. It responded and quite fast too.
I tried mikmarket again and it started to work, I downloaded a few apps and then I started to get force closing.
Nothing seemed to want to work, so I put the phone back on the charger, went to bed. next morning.. mikmarket is gone, it's now Market.
Everything looked like it used to in Market.
And.. everything started to work. Market cooperated, wi-fi cooperates with market and internet, and so far everything seems to be meshing together.
I want to say it's because i let it synchronize overnite and everything meshed.
I did do the battery pull, pri/prl updating as well. I dunno if it helped or not.
But I like the MikFroyo and am so glad I took the plunge.. not like I didn't have a choice.. my 2.1 was starting to make life difficult!
I tried cyanogen 7 and it looked awesome! my problem with it was for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to get it sync with my gmail contacts.
If I would've been able to find it.. I might've stuck with it..

The market auto-updates. I've heard you can freeze or delete "market updater", but then you don't have whatever new features, fixes, or security enhancements they've pushed out in the new market. Maybe that's ok, maybe not. I'd rather have the latest than have the theme.
