Evervolv WiFi & other issues - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is my first thread here at xda
I don't know if this issue is already known or if it's just me with this problem. I have an HTC Evo and I've tried both Evervolv Roms for Android 2.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878020 and 2.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840285. Both Roms have problems with connecting with WiFi automatically, even when connecting manually, and require me to constantly turn the WiFi on and off to connect. Sometimes a reboot is needed on the 2.3 version because the WiFi gets stuck on "turning off". I'm wondering if there's a fix for this or if the developer of Evervolv will fix this in the future. I'm not able to comment on the developer's thread so this is my only way to get the problem out there. Also in the 2.3 version, the application launcher crashes often and requires a reboot each time to get anything to work. Flash Player doesn't seem to work at all (in fact only way i was able to install it was through Titanium-backup, as trying to install it from the market doesn't work) . I've also noticed random reboots on both versions 2.2 and 2.3. I really like the 2.3 Rom but the constant crashes of the app launcher forced me to switch to the 2.2 version and the WiFi problems persist on that as well. (if anyone asks why don't i just try another launcher, it's cause i like stock Android launchers the best )

Welcome!! The 2.3 rom is still beta so issues will be there. Are you using stock kernel? I've used cm roms and know you must change your wifi policy to never sleep. Not 100% sure if that's where your problem lies but its worth checking. Also the aosp roms IMO are still kinda iffy. Most seem very promising and some run very well but all still need alot of work. If it is becoming to big of an issue I'd nandroid backup, completely wipe and format and try a sense based rom, im trying Koni's ELITE and so far, im very impressed. Just a Thought.

Reverting to a 3.30.651.3 based ROM

I want to preface this by apologizing if this has been covered, but I was unable to find anything with a search.
Every single 3.70 based ROM results in wakelock issues within 24-48 hours. I have tried everything, including flashing the stock rooted rom and no matter what, my phone stops sleeping after a day or so. I fully wipe, flash the rom, and I don't download a single app until the wakelock kicks in, at which point I grab spare parts and get no useful information.
I am currently alternating between CM7 and CM6 because AOSP roms work fine...they just aren't quite as solid as I would like them to be at this point. GPS bugs (I've tried the fixes), no HDMI (I've heard about the beta apps and I'll try those soon), no 4G (I realize this has been added to the nightlies for CM7, but the GPS issues are a deal breaker for now) and slow file transfers between my PC and my phone when using CM7 also kill the rom for me.
I figured I would simply flash the stock rooted 3.30.651.3 so that I could have a fully functional phone without wakelock issues if the need arose. But whenever I try to flash after a full wipe (including dalvik cache), I get stuck on the white HTC EVO screen. All 3.70 roms and AOSP roms flash fine so there must be something I'm missing...do I have to downgrade my radio or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. And once again, I'm sorry for the post if this has been covered.
Yes the radio has to be downgraded first. I'm not sure which radio you need but you should check out one of Viruses rom threads since his roms are mostly 3.30 based.

[Q] Problem installing non SENSE ROM

Hi all
I've had me desire for almost a year, during which I had may ROM's - with and without SENSE.
About a month ago, something went haywire with my phone and it would only connect to Edge and not HSDPA. I formatted the sd-card, wiped everything and installed a SENSE ROM - everything went back to normal.
2 weeks ago I used alpharev to move from 0.75 s-on to 0.93 s-off. Still with a sense ROM.
Now, whenever I try to install a non SENSE ROM, I get com.android.phone FC. I see that the airplane mode is going berserk and that I think I glimpse that I can only connect to WCDMA networks (not GSM) which may explain the problem.
On any SENSE ROM, I don't have this issue. I tried different boot tables, CM7, Oxygen, MIUI - none of them work and all of them with the same message. The only ROMS which now work on my machine are SENSE (doesn't matter which version).
Any idea what's up or how I can fix it? To remind you, I was able to install non-sense ROMs in the past.
Thanks!!!

Would it be worth updating your radio and possibly RIL? I note the problems you mention above relate to connectivity so perhaps a new radio might help?
I know that certain roms come with the RIL packaged, and that this can cause problems if it conflicts with the radio version.
There is a good thread on radio here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464
and on RIL here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902752
Yeh most likely the radio. Nottoo keen ok RIL's because when I flashes a RIL it made my text and call connection die, so not too keen on them and yes, I did get the right RIL.

wifi error

Currently im trying to run the stock 3.70 deodeoxed. For some reason every sense rom i try to run I get wifi error when i try to turn the wifi on. AOSP roms work fine. Kinda wanted to get this fixed so I can sell it. Possiable evo3d in future. Thanks all.
That is very strange. Did wifi work for you before you rooted the device? If it did, when did you initially notice that wifi was not working properly? If it works for AOSP roms, it should work for Sense-based roms, as well. If you haven't done so, use amon_RA as your recovery, wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe menu Except the card and then flash the stock "odexed" rom from HERE.

Ill give it a try and let you know.Wifi works like a dream on cm7

gingersense

Is there a way to for example flash wildfire s gingerbread rom and then change density?
Thanks.
No. Don't you think we would have had it a long time back then, if it were so simple? SFM is just that. Its based on the HTC Salsa Stock ROM, (The first release was based on the Wildfire S ROM, which had even more things not working) and you can see the results for yourself.
One more question... i installed jokersdroid 4.2 rom long ago, and i didnt have data connection. So i changed my rom to wildpuzzle, then cm etc. (everything was fine with data conn.) And now i flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906557 (rooted), and the same problem appears... i tried to flash different radios, but still no change, i still cant activate my data connection. I really like stock roms, so i wanna keep this one... can you help me on this?
Thanks.

The custom ROMs include your operators APN by default (i.e. it's pre-configured). This is not the case in the Stock ROM (Since its untouched), so, you will have to add the APNs yourself, after which, I am pretty sure mobile data should work.
You have my thanks.
now i have other problems... sometimes i have singnal sometimes not, the same goes for data connection ... what now?
Honestly, I don't think this is ROM related, but, network issues. Were you getting such issues when you were on the Stock ROM (At that time when data wasn't working for you?).
Anyway, seems like the 2.34 Safe Flash RUU is causing you all sorts of problems (Which shouldn't really, because both WildPuzzle and JokerDroid use this very ROM as its base), so you might as well switch and install the WWE 2.22.405.1 Safe Flash RUU from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
You will have to re-enter APN again, as usual.
cant stop hitting the thanks button
i solved the problem with the signav and data conn... it seems it was all about nfinity kernel... strange...

[Q] MIUI rooted Desire randomly restarts

So, I have HTC Desire with rooted MIUI rom for a while.
HTC Desire, GSM, MIUI 2.1.6
It was okay until 5th January. I have about 25 installed apps and anything was fine. Few days ago I noticed strange "Force stop" in apps like Twitter, Foursquare, Internet Browser.
Then the same started to happen with random restarts of the phone. The phone simply started, then restarted and entered into bootscreen loop, so I ejected battery and inserted and so on. Clearing Dalvik Cache doesn't help.
Also when I try to enter Wi-Fi settings it freezes and gives out "Force close application?" That's just ridiculous!
I have lately updated from previous MIUI version 2.1.4 because that problem started there, but with no changes.
Can you please help here?
i have always faced similar issues with MIUI , my phone doesnt like it
so i have simply stopped using it
edit: if you still want to use MIUI id suggest you stick with a stable version for a while rather than weekly updates
Well, it really might be like that. Seems like I fixed those issues by doing a full phone wipe and fresh flash. Which release can you suggest me?
Wich releases did you try before ?

I have MIUI on mine and flash each update. The biggest issue I have is that it tries to update and always fails with an E:\SDCard error in recovery. I just download and then flash the full rom (no wipes) and it works a treat. The one issue I have with 2.16 is that SMS messages disappear below my 'Better Keyboard' where they didn't in the version prior. I've switched to Android keyboard now but have yet to see if the issue persists. That said, it is by far the most stable ROM I've ever used and I'm running 40+ apps on it with zero problems.

As far as it is, it looks fine. No big problems at all. The only issue is that I backed up 5000+ messages back to phone, I like to store them there. Sometimes seems like it is a little hard for android to hold so many sms's.
