I have cm7 nightly build 12 and I got the 4g to connect once and it was super fast.. 6 mb down.. But after it disconnected it won't reconnect now.. And when it does reconnect it has no internet connection and then disconnects right away.. Anyone have any clue why? Ive seen things on here about bad mac addresses or something like that but idk what to do..

I was in the same dilemma earlier today.
I think that might be a bug in '12 as I'm having a similar continuing issue. First, make sure your Wi-Fi antenna is turned off. Then, try a reboot, and restart of WiMax services. You'll likely connect then. (you may lose it again when your phone goes to sleep...)
Also, I think that areas with low signal strength are more problematic for CM7 right now.

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 tried the latest Wireless tether app, it was a dud, not biggie
So then I tried the other stable version (2.06?) and it works.... For about 5-10 minutes. The app gives no errors, the phone gets no errors, the 3G icon doesn't go to 1x, or disappear, or anything like that. it is just... Not sure how exactly to describe it. It just. Doesn't. Work. Its almost like my connection is cut off without knowing.
Cyanogenmod7 has a portable wi-fi hotspot feature unlocked. It sort of works. Then I try downloading a simple 20mb file. It will work up for around 8MB, maybe 15. Then, on the phone, the 3G icon turns white?? I guess that's a warning for the thing that happens next... Ok, so it turns white, then the bars turn white, then, omg, the f-ing 3G icon disappears!
Wtf???!?!!!? Does it go to 1x? Nope. It literally flashes from 3G, to nothing, then says 3G again, then nothing (while staying white) and it will do this until I disconnect from my laptop.
What the f is the meaning of this?? Has Verizon found some way to sniff in on what we're doing and somehow figured out that I'm tethering and cuts off my data until I stop my behavior?
I would also like to point out, I have barely downloaded 2GB of data so far for this month. So, I think that's about average for most people.

Have you tried the new Kernel?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905873
I can actually fix this... Maybe... my friend noticed something SUPER useful... when you wifi tether don't plug the phone into a charger... I used to get the 3g just all together disappearing and wireless tether crapping out all the time then I started tether with out it plugged in and now I tether for hours no problem what so ever.

Hours? On a stock battery? Cool if you can but I know I can't...at least not for hour(s). Maybe for an hour or so lol.
Personally I would try and download a different wireless tether app from the market. I had an issue where I would make a connection, it would work for a minute or two and then just drop for no reason, even though both pc and phone said they were still connected. Uninstalled and then downloaded a later version and its been fine ever since.
Change Channel?
Have you tried changing the channel on the tethering app?
Open Wireless Tether App>Menu>Settings>Change Channel.
There's an article floating around on reported success changing the channel - I'll post the link if I find it.
Edit: Found article, channel change, and google vs market version(s) also come into play, as well as screen lock timing.

Makes me wonder if the heat from charging, combined with the heat from running the two radios was just too much and the phone shut down the 3g as a precaution?
Maybe because the only time I've had luck charging and tethering was when I left my phone in aa window while it was ten degrees out but it stilled crapped out.

Rofl, I switched to the super Z Rom, I'm bipolar when it comes to ROMs xD.
You know the stock tethering app (one that comes on factory DIncs), he managed to get it to work without paying (or someone did lol) o_0
Anyway, Same problem -.-
That kernel says for AOSP, so it won't work on Sense roms? :/
I guess... Also the way to get the stock tethering free is just dialing a number and changing some settings.

In my experience, the phone basically freezes while being charged. Whatever the CPU load is just by plugging the thing in, it probably doesn't afford enough CPU cycles for something as timing critical as the wifi operation you are gunning for.
So lately my wifi has been disconnecting and reconnecting all the time. Ill be on Xda and my internet will be running fine then ill click on a post and it wont open because my wifi signal will he gone... wait a minute then my wifi signal will come back on and I can use it.

I did a google search and found a thread where they were talking about something like this. They found that if they toggled air plane mode before using wifi it seemed to work better.
Might be worth a try
Hey everyone,
I am having an issue where when I try to connect to my wifi, it will connect for a second then disconnect right after. My router says phone is connected.
I have not changed anything recently. I an running cm7 rc1
Any help is appreciated

Maybe try a new kernel. I know when I use some kernels I wont get 4g or GPS or wifi. You can get kernel manager from the market for free. It makes testing new ones really easy.

If its been working before, have you tried to power cycle the wifi router.. I know mine sometimes gets a hiccup and refuses to issue new leases..... just a thought.

True. If the router says its connected but not sending data it sounds like the router not the phone. My crappy router does that a lot. I apologize for jumping to conclusions before thinking lol.

I didn't really think about that. I will try that as soon as I get home and see what happens.

Im on synergy - nightly rom by virus 08/12 and I just recently upgraded my router to be able to handle N wireless, I have been able to connect the other devices in my house successfully expect my phone, my phone sees my router and it prompts me to type in the wpa 2 psk key, I put the key in, it says connecting and then it never connects, would just powe cycling the router fix this or is there something else I should do?

If you have the stock kernel, wifi is disabled by default, though I thought most if the custom roms were hex edited to work.. Perhaps refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158629
If that doesn't work try just wpa.and not else, also check if you are using aes or tkip encryption, I remember reading somewhere that it might make a difference which one you pick, but can't remember now... Hope this helps
I just flashed lithid cm's FREEDOM for the synergy-kingdom nightlies v 0.7.6?
Hopefully this works if not i'll try your suggestion of flashing the wireless N fix, the kernel says it supports wireless N so you might be right it might have something to do with the type of encryption the router has for the actual connection, thing is my POS verizon router will not let me switch to regular WPA or WEP for the wireless N connection
Is anyone else having this? I still have 3g connected, but if I look at the phone periodically, the 4g has an X on it (red x, im on honeyglow) it will reconnect if I toggle it, but if it drops it will not reconnect, like from 3g or wifi.
Is this s known issue and is there a fix?
Oh, and Im on the LosTKernal OC to 1.6 (stable) and Starburst 1.6, it did it on 1.7 as well.
Thanks
Which kernels have you previously tried? I tried one that made my 4g stop connecting even after switching back to stock but I did find a fix so give me some details on what you've tried so far....

I think I have only used ZedoMax, and then this LosT Kernel, or versions of it.
I had midnight ROM, now have been running Starburst. I think another configuration I had dropped signal on data a lot and had trouble switching between WIFI 3g and 4g. But this has helped my LOS issues as best I can tell.
If I can get 4g to work (im in Dallas, lots of 4g) great, if not Ill just try to ignore it.
If you have a fix, that would be great.
Thanks!
Honestly, if I had a choice between this and the screen wake lag, I'd not worry about 4g.
The screen wake lag is rediculous, it takes 3 full seconds to wake up with my class 10 8g card in it.
Well, what I did was Odined Crawrj's odexed with root and Busybox. You would want the deodexed version obviously. Run that in PDA slot. It will keep your data but then you will have to Odin back akernel with CWM like LoSt. It fixed all of the 4g and Wifi not connecting crap I had going on from something I triedthat had borked changes
