So after I successfully rooted my phone, I did flash the radio and WiFi. Custom ROMs have worked pretty well. But lately, I have noticed (and I am not sure to what degree this was going on before) that my WiFi signal is quite bouncy. This is the case no matter what WiFi access point I go to.
Is it possible that something with my phone got messed up? Is it recommended that I reflash the WiFi? Should I just try a different ROM?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
By "WiFi" do you mean "WiMax?"

I mean whichever radio is responsible for my WiFi... so is the WiFi radio and the 4g radio one in the same? If so, the question still stands... would flashing it again possibly fix fluctuation in signal?
Im still having this problem. Anyone else? In fact, I was at a friend's house and was using his WiFi router for access and it was slow. I told him we probably need to reboot his router but he didn't think so. My speed test with his router was 800Kbps - ~ 1Mbps... and I know I was testing his WiFi... not my 3G.
He then testing from his iPhone 3GS and was getting ~ 7Mbps (about what should be expected)... so clearly the problem was my phone.
Did a clear cache and dalvik and still not better. My radio is still bouncing.
Anyone have any ideas?
???
As far as I know, there is no such radio for WiFi???
WiFi improvements come through software updates from HTC, but I've never seen a flashable update??
You can only flash the evo radio and wimax.
Wifi on the Evo sucks. I have the range issue regardless of what rom I use. My iphone doesn't have an issue.

This must be hit-or-miss. I vaguely remember some others complaining about WiFi (wtf..lol). I get a great connection at my house, I can use WiFi out in the yard, and the only time I've gotten less than 8megs down I was also watching a movie on Netflix and dl'ing a torrent.. and even then I got over 4m/s
my wifi was fine until i flashed to this latest leak.
I have a droid incredible with sky raider sense 3.3.2, my issue with wireless tether has persisted through several different roms and the stock rom.
When I launch wireless tether (with or without security) I am able to connect from my mac or pc and surf the web at very slow speeds. The phone is able load web pages faster in the same location then with wifi tether. On top of the slow speeds I am not able to browse the web for more then 15 minutes without losing internet access via wifi, but still connected to the phone. During that time the phone can still surf the web.
The only temporary way to fix this is to reinstall all binaries and configs then restart the phone. When I use the pdanet trail I have, everything is a dream via usb.
My current radio is 2.15.00.07.28, this issue has also been with me for the past 2 radio updates I have done. I have tried turning wifi on and off with no success, disabling all my apps but wifi and superuser.
I'm having the EXACT same issue and have been searching for the past couple hours to try and fix it. Currently on Redemptive rEVOlution 2.1 w/ stock 2.6.32.17 Kernel. Driving me crazy!! .4kb download & .1kb upload speeds... Have removed the .dun as instructed in EPST's settings and am using latest wireless tether (2.05.-pre13).
Has everyone that has come across this thread been able to use wireless tether with no issues? Should it be as simple as having root, froyo & downloading wireless tether? Or changing EPST settings to take out "dun."... Bueller?
Are you using the stock 3g hotspot app or did you download a rooted app?

Same issue here too. I have 2 inc's, both rooted - one stock, one running Myn's release 3 w/Ziggy kernel. Both have the same problem. Wifi will actually stay up for a while and the connected to my laptop. Then, wifi will actually drop and not be detected by wifi-analyzer while on the serving inc tether willstill show active.
Running Wifi-tether pre13 but this is an issue whether running wifi-tether or 3g hotspot.
Possibly an earlier version of wifi-tether would work? Can someone who is not experiencing this issue post the versions of their wifi related apps?

Having same problem with brothers phone. I'm never around when it drops but this is exactly what he describes too. I just put pre 13 and changed to channel 1 haven't had him complain yet but we will see
Mine however with same setup works fine... totally confused
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I just updated to pre13 and have tried several different channels with no luck. I noticed earlier that when I have been on it for a while it will slowly stop loading sites.
By this I mean that Engadget could continue to refresh while hulu or xda will not load. Eventually Engadget will stop loading.

I my stock dinc back to wifi tether 2.0.5-pre7 this morning and so far so good... will do some more testing tonight and report back later with an edit.
edit: Apparently pre7 release has an issue with channel selection, no matter what you select you end up on 6 (with all of the other default users out there), running pre8 now.
When you tether, does it say 1x at the top?
tether working fine
This is really one of the main reasons I rooted-
stock 2.2
wireless tether 2.0.2
I seem to surf without interuption endlessly.
speed test on average is about.5Mbps up and down
It does it at 3g and 1x

I get the same issue while running both sky-raider and now on virtuous. I believe it prob has to do with the 2.15 radio cuz I never had this issues with 2.05 or stock 2.1 android
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Same here...after surfing a while on the laptop it will quit loading pages.
The only way I can get around it is to disable the "wireless network connection"
then re-enable and it will work for another 10 minutes or so before having
to repeat the same action.
I have never been able to get wifi tether to work. I tried numerous versions of wifi tether, tried changing WEP, WPA, Open, channels, etc. I could connect the computer to the phone, but could never get internet access.
I finally gave up and just use 3g Hotspot, which works perfect.
I never had the 2.05 radio, so I don't know if it was introduced in 2.15
Man am I glad I am not the only one with the issue.

Okay so now we have established that there is a wifi tethering issue. Any dev wanna help us out on solving this or anyone with any ideas?

I have the same issue... any help is greatly appreciated!
I'm currently using stock 2.2 w/Nov update, radio 2.15.00.07.28 & 2.05-pre13 but am having no problem keeping two laptops connected. Rather my issue is one mentioned a few posts up, the speed is sadly lacing compared to what others have posted elsewhere on the site.
Would post screens but have to be more active and post a few more.

Saw this on the "wireless tether" homepage, so i just copied and pasted it as it explains my problem as good is i could. I have tried different kernals, ive tried wiping.. unrooting rerooting etc... and it happens on all tether apps including the stock one. It starts happening after it gets over 35 degrees Celsius. :/
Currently using MIUI rom, however does it on all of them including stock unrooted one.
Anyone know how to fix? Its quiet annoying! :/
Which device (manufacturer, type)?
HTC Incredible
Which firmware is installed?
2.2
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.turn on
2.connects
3.works for about 5 minutes
What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Works really good for the first 5-10 minutes then stops and 3G symbol will disappear and reappear along with 3G service
I remember seeing the same issue, but I don't recall seeing it since flashing skyraider vanilla.
The last ROM I used was virtuous.
I don't use tether very often, but I can pay attention to the 3g and temps when I do.
Do you see interruption in your connection on the connected device(s)?

It usually only takes 20-30 mb download to heat it up to the point it starting flickering on and off. But no, it doesn't interrupt if its wired tether, only wireless...
veeeerry annoying as I like to have it for college.
what verison of Wireless Tether are you using. I know that I had the same problem for two reasons, 1. there are at least two verisons that I know of that have a problem. I had the same trouble. 2. You might have a the 3G Drop problem.
I've had this happen in MIUI 0.11.26 as well as CM 6.0.2 on my AMOLED Inc.
For me its not a temp problem but rather a heavy data traffic problem. It only seems to do it when I'm intensely viewing multiple webpages with flash or videos.
Only fix for me is reboot.

I'm using a rooted copy of 3.70 ROM and am stumped as to how to get tethering working right. It will work, slowly, with 4G but when connected with 3G it will not allow internet access. Does anyone know what I am missing or maybe point me in the right direction? The only fix I could find was downgrading back to 2.29 and with an older kernel. :\
I've tried older version of wireless tether, barnacle, etc, all with the same results.
Bump......
So no one on this site knows what is needed for tethering to work properly?

Hey haus. 3G is working for me. I tether with both often.
Seeing as you tried with older versions, maybe it could be the kernel you are using.
What kernel/rom are you using? I'll try to see if I can replicate the results.
Also as I'm sure you know, texts/phone will disrupt 3G so if you get a text in the middle of your tether, it will disable 3G.
Well I just found something very interesting...
I tethered today and found my connection to be extremely slow for some reason (3G). I went to speedtest.net and it said the closest test server to me was in the UK....
I'm not sure why it's doing that considering I'm in NY but thats rather fishy. I'll do some more testing and let you know.
BTW I'm using the stock #15 kernel and Myn's Warm 2.2

This happens to me all the time in Cincinnati, OH on 4G. It thinks I am in Whales or some random place. I get good speed results but it is weird.
As for the OP, wireless tether doesn't work well in all roms. There are even some roms where it doesn't work with 4G at all...

Almost all the ROMs I have flashed had wireless tether working for both 3G and 4G. It just took a bit to find the right build version to use lol. Pain in the ass I swear. -.-

Well I was more thinking of the CM6 w/ WiMax. I still don't think it supports tether on 4G.

I used the alpha 2 for quite a while (upgraded to the CM7 WiMAX one today) and I used the pre9 version of wireless tether on both 3G and 4G all the time without problems.

Well CM6 had no 4G for a bit. The Alpha for WIMAX for CM just came out and thats still in its infancy so I doubt tethering works at all let alone for 4G. Not too sure on this since I don't flash CM cause I use 4G a lot.
Edit: I stand corrected. lol Maybe I'll try CM.
I have similar problem as the OP of this thread. I am using MikFroyo 4.5 with netarchy 4.3.2 cfs_SBC_Havs_more kernel, wireless tethering works fine in 4G but with 3G, my laptop connects to the EVO but there is no Internet access. It seem as if either the EVO is forwarding the traffic or the DNS on EVO is not resolving names.
Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks
I've had problems with wireless tether lately, but I started using the wireless hotspot that comes included in my rom. Currently using CM7 Nightlies and CM7 with WiMax.
My 3g has not been running much. It has been switching to 1x. What should the new updates be now radio updates? I live in KS and I think the issue is I need to update radios

mine was doing the alot too but i flashed the newest radios as of 07/04/2011 and it stopped going into 1x alot
I started having this problem recently as well, I live in the Boston area. I believe I have the latest radios, 2.15.00.05.02. I had been running the stock rooted rom, which only shows a 3G icon regardless of actual connection speed. I noticed that when I flashed the Synergy Sense 3.0 ROM that my phone was sitting in 1x most of the time. I tried flashing Deck's ASOP 1.2.1 and was seeing the same speed issues. I ran a Speed Test on each of the ROMs and was getting less than 100kbps. I'm currently back on the stock rooted ROM while I try to debug the speed issues.
I was just about to post a thread on this as well because it is frustrating me a lot. when i first got the phone i was full bars every where and now , especially after rooting , I have terrible signal and most times cant load web pages or download from market unless im on wifi
I have 2.15.00.09.01 radio is that the newest

An update on my situation. My 3G magically started working again last night. I think my 3G issue may have been related to the SMS/data outage that hit the Sprint network in the past 48 hours.
What data outage did they have
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
All i was aware of was an sms - mms outage like he said but im still experiencing these issues. It now seems to only be certain webpages. I can't make any google searches and some websites will only load once in a great while.
Yeah I'm still having 1x issues. It sucks. So what is the new radio or a d l link for it would be great

Check my sig for radio downloads. I am currently on the newest radios, and everything works perfectly for me.
Flash a rooted Sense ROM, based on the Evo (this disqualifies MikG, Director's Cut, Synergy and other Sense 2.1 ROMs, because those are based on the Evo Shift (I've had issues with Shift-based ROMs not reactivating)
Go into EPST (Dial ##3282#, Choose edit mode), enter your MSL code (download and use MSL Reader from the Market to get it), Data Profile, hit the menu button and choose restore. Just sit there, your phone will reboot and everything will go back to default. This should fix your 3G issue.
Then, just wipe everything and flash your favorite ROM!
