Connectivity Problems with GingerSense ROMs - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all!
I've been using Desire for about six months and I've changed lots of ROM's without facing serious problems...
A few days ago I decided to flash a ROM with Gingerbread and Sense UI.
So I flashed LeeDrOiD 3.0.2 (full wiped).
After flashing, I immediately tried to connect to my router, in order to sync my Gmail account and to download some apps.
I noticed that although the device was successfully connected to my router, it could not connect to the Internet.
The browser wouldn't load any site, I couldn't sync my Gmail etc...
Reflashing the ROM and rebooting the router unfortunately didn't solve the problem.
I thought it was a ROM's bug, so I rolled back to another Froyo ROM (Internet was fine here), because I had to leave for vacations and I needed a fully functional device.
Now that I returned to my home, I saw that LeeDrOiD 3.0.3 was out! I flashed it, but I got disappointed when I faced the same problem.
The device was successfully connected to my router, but I had no Internet at all.
Then I flashed AuraxTremeGinger 8.5, and guess what... Again, the exact same problem.
So I asked a neighbor to give me his router's key...
I noticed that when I was connecting to his router, I could download anything I wanted.
Meaning Internet was working just fine!
I never had this problem with any Froyo ROM, never had it with any Gingerbread AOSP ROM...
Only with ROM's which combine Gingerbread and Sense UI.
Can someone find out what's going on here, or at least give me some advice about this?

Change the wireless channel

Meaple thanks for the reply!
I changed the channel from 1 to 13 and I noticed something really strange.
If I try to load any site within 4-5 secs from the time I change the channel, the site will be successfully loaded.
After 4-5 secs, nothing will work.
Which means that I have Internet for the first 4-5 secs (from the time time I'll change the channel), and afterwards nothing...

Did you flash new radio and ril.zip for gingerbread?
Most of gingerbread roms' ril are not for GB.
S-off RCMIXv8++ cm7hboot
htc-ril2.2.0131HM

You don't need the RIL if you're using the 2.3.3 Sense ROM as it's already in it. Radio is recommended, though

Thanks for the replies!
I flashed the 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 Radio (which is the recommended one for LeeDrOiD), I even upgraded to LeeDrOiD 3.0.4 but still no luck...
It's really frustrating cause I can't understand what's going on...

Hi once again!
I revived the thread, only to mention that the problem was fixed by upgrading my router's firmware.

[Q] Redux glitches? or just me...

Hello all.
I hope this is in the right section. I have tried looking here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896213&page=447
For any answers, but at over 400 pages it's taking a while!!
I rooted via unrevocked the other day, and flashed Redux. I quite like it but am having the following issues:
WiFi, works fine at home, picked up the signal and signed in easy as. At work however it can't detect anything. On the stock 2.2 it was fine. This is a magor as 3g here is pretty slow. If I can't get WiFi working properly I'm going to have to look for another ROM.
Sound settings in menu. FC's every time.
Camera, may not be an issue as such, but does anyone know how to disable the camera sound? It's incredibly loud and annoying.
Cheers for your help, and if this is in the wrong place please point me to the right one!
Oh just point out what I have or have not done to try and fix this:
I have restarted WiFi router. No change. It was working fine until I flashed Redux.
Works fine at home, and can detect the neighbours WiFi.
I have flashed latest radio ROM 5.17.05.23
I have reflashed Redux. But did not to another complete wipe.
Have tried rebooting and hard reset (remove battery)
Fixed the sound menu issue with a full wipe and reset.
WiFi still not picking up at work. Have flashed a new Kernel 2.6.35.8 manu 1.4
Will see if that chnages anything
For me the screen flickers when I use Android Market and scroll up and down!
Very annoying!
Ok new kernel changed nothing.
Did full wipe are reflash. No change.
Flashed Leedroid 2.2 ROM. WiFi at work instantly working fine.
So flashed Oxygen 2.3 ROM. No WiFi at work.
There is something in those 2 GB ROMs that stops my Desire seeing my works WiFi net work. Any ideas??
I would try to flash radio:

I hope you know how to do this. No warrany for any damage.
Cheers for the reply.
I have that radio already.
It seems it is a very common issue in 2.3 and is to do with hidden SSID on the WiFi.
Not sure why it affects 2.3 and not 2.2 but lots are complaining about it.
Will have to find out the SSID to connect
I seemed to have cured my SSID issue

Got me straight in. Once I had connected, reconnecting works fine. I even uninstalled the app to check and it's sweet as

[Q] Desire seems to restart when using 3G

I've been using my desire for about 1 year now and never had any problems until I decided to go back to Leedroid gingerbread rom and install the patches for A2SD+ with ext 3.
I was having restarts every 10-15 minutes on Leedroid, went back to CM7, currently on cm7 7.0.2 and I'm still getting restarts when I wasn't previously.
I have asked this question before and thought it was an issue with the SD card. Now the reason I thought it was the SD was when I was having loops of restarts I would take it out and it would be quite stable for a while. Formatted everything (SD and internal + cache) put on the latest radio rom and then put on the latest CM. Seemed to run fine for a while and then started restarting again. It locks up on the HTC screen occasionally and requires me to pull the battery.
I've noticed that it only happens when I'm using 3G internet connectivity. Just recently it tried to get a lot of updates and would start downloading them only to restart. It does eventually get the updates though.
To test this I can start watching a youtube video and it will crash. For example I just watched 1 minute of one video before it crashed, after reboot I started youtube again and it crashed immediately.
Can I stop log cat removing all the logs when the device restarts so I can have a look what's going on? Any other ideas on how to diagnose or fix would be much appreciated.
What's your radio?
My Radio version is
32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 and I'm running CynogenMod 7.0.3
I used something else before I switched to leedroid an old one, I changed it to go to Leedroid then changed it to this hoping it would help.
Flashed newest correcspondig ril 2.2.1003G?
Thread for radio/ril here on xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902752
No I have never flashed a RIL before, didn't even know what these where. I'll give that a shot and see what happens.

RIL (by System of a pWne!^)
Radio interface layer. This is a layer between the Radio and the ROM. It communicates with the hardware over the Radio and supplies an interface for the ROM so it can use the hardware. This is similar to a driver.
Whenever you flash a new Radio, you should also consider flashing the corresponding RIL for it. This makes sure, the Radio is getting adressed correctly.

I was running the RIL suggested above yesterday, had about 11 hours and no issues, updated all my apps, was watching youtube etc.. I was trying to do stuff that usually would make it crash. Eventually I turned on my wifi at home and as soon as it came on the phone rebooted. It then proceeded to reboot every time I tried to go on the internet, with either 3g or wifi, I tried about 3-4 times. Leaving it with internet off for about 30 mins, I came back to it and it started working on wifi fine. Strange. TL;DR ril didn't seem to fix it. Seems like if I can get it back to stock I can go to the shop and change it.

[Q] WiFi seems broken (phone crashes)

I have massive problems using WiFi.
If I activate it, the phone spontanously "crashes", means it reacts extremely slow and is totally unusable till restarted.
It's always when WiFi is on, just the time till it starts differs. I've tried some different ROMs (MIUI with LordMods kernel or stock kernel with vanilla ROM-settings and no apps, CM7.1 stable with stock kernel) and also different WiFis and settings and can say it's independent from an established connection, so it also occurs when there is nothing in sight to connect to.
I can't remember since when I got this problem as I only recently activated WiFi again for usage. Before I never had such problems. I accidentally flashed a zip file as a radio some time ago o) and then flashed the right radio again after I got the battery out for some time. Possible the phone got damaged somehow or is there a possibility that it's a software related issue like a module that doesn't work well with more recent radios in combination with my phone?
I tried radios 12.59.60.26_26.11.04.21_M and 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M, same problem.
Thanks
See if the official software works, try to install a 1.32 RUU.

[Q] Wifi problems

Hi,
I have flashed different roms like a thousand thimes now in the past couple of years.
But lately i wanted to flash back to cm 7.2 and so i did.
Did full whipes multiple times even the efs whipe and the g2 super whipes.

Ill try to explain:
Wifi will connect and get correct ip adres.
Opening the internet browser and typing a url will work but it takes a lot of time (like it has problems connecting to a website)
Trying to setup a google account will also generate errors.
Before flasing to cm 7.2 i was on a sense rom (Rooted)
I tried different cm 7.2 and different cm 7.2. spinoffs but im still having te same issue.
Also tried a sense rom now and same issue persist...
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm lost.. what can i do?
thnx
Gr. Enumo
