WIFI Problems since MyFroyo RC4

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.

Thanks for the update - I look forward to the day when I can use the wifi AND a camera MyFroyo RC4 is still working well for me, but I miss my camera

Does anyone know if there is any headway in fixing this issue?

Video lag and 4g issues

I used to have cm6. When rc1 came out I had a lot of issues. Generally I liked cm6 and still recommend it. It was fast and my videos played flawlessly. I wanted 4g on my phone so I devise to switch roms. I tried a few different roms and they were great except one problem. My video were really laggy. Right now I am using Myn's Warm RLS 3 Rom and netarchy' recent stable cfs kernel also the most recent Wimax radio.
When I watch videos on rockplayer the videos are baggy like low fps. Also when I use ATK in cm6 it says i have 400M available even when u have 4 apps running but on these other roms I'm only getting 200-150M when having nothing running.
Also on all the roms I try I when I turn 4g on all it says is scanning. I live in Boston. Shouldn't there be 4g available? I upgraded to the newest wimax radio and its drill not connecting. Please help.

Please I need help

The video lag has been complained about a few times. The solution is cm6 or nothing, I think. You were getting much higher than you are now because htc sense, which is completely nonexistent in cm6, takes up a huge amount of memory. That is why a bunch of people don't like it. I personally love sense widgets, but hate the rest. The 4g issue: 4g is like AT&T service, spotty and incomplete. Bars can vary greatly by feet, and the 4g area is highly undeveloped. Try different areas where you know there is 4g. Or flash back to stock (or go extreme and unroot) and then try it. Good luck

[Q] Virtuous g lite 1.0.2 download/downgrade

I was wondering if there was someplace to download the 1.0.2 version as i got 3 cuz it was supposed to be good on battery but it is horrible and it looks like 1.0.2 is the way to go for battery.
Also, if I am coming from 1.0.3 would I have time wipe? I assume not but if guess I should ask anyway. Also, if anyone knows of a better rom for battery, i would look into that as well...
Thanks!

Hi, you can still get version 1.0.2. from the virtuous homepage: Click
I can't answer your question on the need for wiping though.

http://www.tmonews.com/2011/07/t-mobile-g2-users-suddenly-suffering-from-huge-battery-loss/
Could it be that virtuous is not the source of my problems and this is? I didn't update maps but that doesn't seem to be the root of the problem anyway...

I had the very same problem once. Google Maps would always run in the background and killed my battery like crazy (on cm7 at the time). With my setup at the time, it would always load whenever I opened up the stock e-mail client.
Since then I have switched roms a few times and it never came up again.

How is CM7 on battery? Maybe I should just switch to that...
which is a shame because I LOVE g-lite but this battery thing is a bother. It might be g-lite though which is why i'm hesitant to switch. The Maps version on my phone is 5.7 and people say the problem is with 5.8. Others simply say it's because of the phone always polling for the new GB OTA. Others still place the blame just on something else tmobile is doing.
Whatever it is: it sucks.

[Q] ICS + Pandora issues?

So, I have been running Calkulin's ROMs forever... I've stuck to GB because it was the most stable (at the time), I recently decided to try ICS, but EVERY ICS ROM I've tried, and every ICS modem I've tried, I've run into the SAME issue..
I get crappy service, where I had 3-4 bars before, I'm now getting 1 or roaming... If I reset the phone, it magically works again, displaying the 3-4 bars I had previously..
I've checked all my settings, and tried multiple ROMs, and all exhibit the same issues.. I've tried FF11 and FF18 and the issue still persists.
And..Pandora doesn't work.... It'll stick on loading, or buffer to 2% and hang, then switch to the next song, and repeat the cycle... But only when on 3G/4G, if I'm on wi-fi, it works perfectly...
If I had to take a guess, it would appear modem related (all data/signal issues), but no one else seems to be having the same issues as I.
Thought? Suggestions?

After more tinkering, FE21 + FE21 agat kernel + Pandora 1.5.15 seems to have fixed all the issues....
I'd still like some input though.

Pandora works fine for me on ICS, same with the modems, not sure what the problem might be, just saying it works

I'm having the exact same problem on my Nexus S 4G, as of last Friday.
Running latest CM9 nightly with default CM9 kernel.
Only way it will stream is over wifi.
Will try loading an older version of Pandora and see if that helps.

I'm getting nowhere with Pandora...
Still unable to stream anything unless i'm on wifi.
Have wiped everything and even installed stock ICS rom for my Nexus S.
Oddly enough it works if I go back go Gingerbread...
So it was just a kernel / app version issue for you?

Think the sprint multimedia proxies have anything to do with it? My evo shift did the same thing stock until I zeroed them out.
I'm using an old modded version of Pandora. Today I discovered that if I'm running airblock (airpush ad blocker) that the cover art doesn't display and sometimes the loudness levels of songs differ greatly. I disabled the blocker and everything worked as it should. I don't know if Pandora and airpush are using the same servers or ports but there seems like there might be some correlation between them.

Running Blu Kuban based on ICS on my E4GT and pandora runs flawlessly. Don't know if that is a source of help or aggravation.

Thank you!!!
I disabled AdAway and now Pandora works...
Now the trick is figuring out what I need to exclude from my hosts file to prevent it from breaking Pandora.

I'm running VeNuM's own Boa + FF18 kernel/modem. Earlier today while sitting in my car in the parking lot of WalMart I downloaded and used Pandora for the very first time to test out my new portable rechargeable Bluetooth stereo speaker from iHome (which sounds great for a little $60 speaker). Pandora worked without a hitch and sound was flawless.

I have AdAway on my phone (running PH's ICS atm) and have never had issues with Pandora. Amazon's streaming, otoh, has been a complete pain and almost unusable.

and of course today it is broken again
Tried changing the multimedia proxies also, still no go.

Wednesday and today, pandora was really running like ****. Sounds like they need an enema for their internet pipes.

That sounds like proxy blocking (if there is such a thing). Works on everything but 3/4g

Pandora works on wifi and 4g but not on 3g on any ICS rom. It does work on stock el29 on 3g though. I've tried installing a couple of stock leaked ICS and only installed pandora and it still doesnt work on 3g. I'd go back to el29 but i really dont like it. I found a modified pandora apk that is v1.5.15 and it has the same issues so i dont think its the newer version that is causing the issue. If there is anything else i can try, i would greatly appeciate it.

Downloading 1.5.10 worked for me

I am also having the same issue's that everyone else is having. But, I would like to add that I can confirm that when Pandora was on EL29, it worked flawlessly. Not so much now.

I'm using Adaway as well, no problems here with Pandora on 3G. Maybe try Adaway?

Using 1.6 on stock FF18 deodexed rom with FF18 modem and Agat's 0.2.1 kernel. Haven't had any issues with it so far.

[Q] Issues with [AOSP] Jellybean RC3

I recently flashed the Jellybean RC3 rom and noticed some issues.
Chrome causes my phone to do an automatic restart and I can't find a way around it.
It tends to lag in terms of responding to clicks or movements.
And the big issue for me is that the Play Music app (Google) continues telling me "Music temporarily unavailable Couldn't play the stream you requested." Before I flashed this rom, I had no issues using the app and now I continue to receive these errors.
Does anyone know what could be causing these issues and how to fix them?
Update: I just tried with the Tiny CM10 and it is the same issue.
It worked fine before flashing to these roms. Any idea why that would be?

This is a known bug launching chrome from the dock. Either launch it from your desktop, or another workaround apparently is to put it in a folder in the dock.

I had RC3 for a while, then switch over to CM10. Everything seemed to be a lot more stable, but Chrome also does weird stuff on CM10 as well. Never could get it to work normally on my DINC

I don't like chrome even on the galaxy nexus. Slower and buggy to me. I used to but stock is better.

Chrome wouldn't even start on my Incredible with the RC3 ROM. I would advise using the stock browser until Albinoman works out all the kinks (although the work he's done so far is awesome!). I've also had connection errors before, primarily in the Play Store, retrying a few times seems to work. I always use Wi-Fi and haven't tried cellular data so I can't help you there if you're using 3G to stream.

Maybe something to do with your Android ID changing when flashing these newer ROMs? Though that usually shows itself in problems downloading stuff from the Play Store... but you may need to clear data on the Google Music app, also maybe clearing data on the Play Store may help too.

The main reason I dislike Chrome is because of the space it takes up. It eats up over 30Mb of app data, which on our Dincs is stored in the 150Mb datadata partition. So if you have a reasonable number of apps installed, it's very likely that Chrome will fail to install properly due to there not being enough space to install its data, and it will fail complaining that "your phone lacks functionality critical for running Chrome." In reality, the problem is that Chrome is just too bloated to fit on the limited partitions in our dincs.
(flashing the etx4all nodatalimit mod solves this issue, as does moving all possible apps to the sdcard, but IMHO Chrome is not nearly worth going to all that bother.)
