Wifi getting slow after installing new kernel - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im having trouble after awhile after installing a kernel called UmaroKernel v1.04 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095996). My wifi seems to be oddly slow lately. On my PC its super fast as it should be but on the phone its slower than slow. Before i never had this before and it just appeared about 2 days ago. Is something happening? I called my ISP and the HTC customer service. They all said reboot bla bla bla and still nothing happens , its just very slow.
Help would be appreciated!
Thank You.

Try wiping cache and dalvik cache and reflash the kernel, so if that works.
Also try other kernels.

Thanks, its working again. Noticed that the wifi bars were White not green. Is that a difference? (Using n network)

Well tbh I'm not sure what the difference is. On stock rom it's always white, on gb they turn green I think when the data is actually being used and they are white when your only using cell data...but I'm not 100% sure.

[Q] No 3g & Intermittent, Slow Network Connection - Please Help

I'm having an issue with the data connection on my DINC. As of Monday my phone is no longer able to get 3G and will only get 1x if anything at all. The 1x connection is very intermittent and if a network connection is established it's very slow and doesn't last long. WIFI works with no problems.
In Menu/Settings/Wiresless & Networks/Mobile Network Settings are the selections are checked. Mobile Network is checked as well, but it greys out frequently as it cycles through "turning on…" and "connected" - when its connected its with 1x and usually does not result in actually having a network connection.
My phone is rooted and running Sky Raider 4.3, but I didn’t make any changes (no rom flashes, kernal/radio changes, new apps, etc) that would result in the data issue I'm seeing, just a sudden onset. I did a factory reset and reflashed SR4.3 and KInGdOm ReWiND 3D 2.3.3 and get the same results. I tried changing my radio from 2.15.00.11.19 to 07.28 and that didn't help either. I called Verizon and there isn't any network outages in my area (Denver) that would be causing this problem. I went through troubleshooting with them and they said the next step is to try a new phone which I don't want to do at this time.
I don't know what else to do so any guidance is much appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks AgalychnisCallidryas!!! That did the trick!
No problem at all. Just had the same problem today myself.

I was following these directions and after flashing the Rom, I seem to have lost root.
I can't boot into recovery and Rom manager says Su is not present. I just want to get into
Recovery so I can wipe and reinstall my nanbackup. Thoughts?

Do any of your rooted apps work? If they have the same prompt, try updating your SuperUser then force closing those apps before opening them again to see if this fixes them.
Also, have you unchecked Fastboot under Settings > Power? Manually boot into recovery if the previous resolved your rooted apps/rom manager issue.
I am running synergy rls1 and i know what broke my data connection in this way. It was epst (##778#) I went into it to change my slot cycle index and when i went to commit changes it said sucessfull and that it would reboot in 10 secs or i could press ok so i pressed ok and it fcd and went back to dial pad it also killed my data and voice. So i reebooted and when it came up my data was 1x then 3g then out compleetly. There appears to be some sort of issue with epst at least with synergy rls1. Can anyone confirm that their data broke after using##778#? I actually tried this twice after the first time i did fix above and then tried epst again and it broke data again so im pretty sure its not a fluke.
Thank god for this posting. I was searching for almost a week for a fix. This totally fixed my 3G issue.
cmlusco,
I have no idea what ##778# does, I've never performed that action before. Whatever it does, if it is along the same lines of *228 (or #228, well whatever) then I have seen recommendations to perform this on Verizon based roms i.e. not Sprint ports.

Glad this thread helped out!
No hope.

This did NOT fix my 3G problem. I'm running CM7 and this just started happening to me a few days ago at the start of my family vacation. My wife, mother&father in-law and I all have the same phone. My wife's is rooted and running CM7 as well. They all have 3G and I don't. At first I thought it was Verizon just throttling me but I've only used 1.4Gigs so far this month. Beginning to think this is a hardware issue.
make sure you reboot into the rmk rom once to make sure your 3g stuff is working before you restore your backup.
i used the instructions in this thread and everything was back to normal:

BTW, do you know if there are any themes for this ROM??

[Q] Wi-Fi Issues

Alright, a long while I brought up this question as I was hoping to fix my Kindle. Well, I ended up forgetting about my Kindle, and now that it's summer, I'd like to use it again. I forgot how much I missed it.
Anyways, here I am, still stuck with the Wi-Fi Connection issues. I was on a ICS ROM, however it would continuously freeze up on me. It was horrible, so I posted asking what the issue was, and several people basically told me, flash the latest kernel, it fixes this issue. So I was like, wow, simple fix, lets do it. I flashed the kernel, and boom. First thing to notice, Wi-Fi gone. However, the freezing up and crashing stopped, suppose thats a bonus. But, my Wi-Fi was gone. I figured, perhaps if I un-root and flash back to stock it'll fix. No, that didn't do it.
So today, I re-rooted it, I've got CM9 ICS ROM on it, and I still have Wi-Fi issues. Anyone know what I could possibly do?
I did Factory Reset's, Wiped everything clean when flashing my ROM's.
Any help, or advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Some details :
Current ROM : CM9
Version : 9-20120706-UNOFFICIAL-otter
Kernel Version : [email protected])) #3 SMP PREEMPT
Kernel Date : Fri Jul 6 04:27:45 CDT 2012
Forgot to add: The issue at the moment is that when I turn wi-fi on, it gets stuck at the "Turning Wi-Fi On" screen. It never displays an places to connect, and I can never actually do anything. It just stays at "Turning Wi-Fi On"
Anything else just ask.
i am no pro or anything but if it didn't work on stock or when you reflashed I would say its an internal component but dont let me discourage you because I may be wrong.

Thank you for your reply. I suppose, I should've been more descriptive of my issue.
It's not even sure if I can connect to wi-fi. It may be possible, but when I go to turn Wi-Fi on, its stuck at "Turning Wi-Fi On"
1)
IF FOR SOME REASON WIFI DOESN'T WORK ON THE FIRST BOOTUP DO THE FOLLOWING:
Enter Terminal Emulator
Type: su
Type: fix-mac.sh
Exit Terminal Emulator
Reboot
2) If that didn't work try setting your connection from DHCP to Static
3) If those didn't work do a hard reset of your router and try the above steps again.
If it still doesn't work I'm guessing it's a hardware issue with the Kindle.

I did the fix-mac.sh and it didn't work. I just want to say ;
I don't have options for Wi-Fi. This isn't necessarily a Wi-Fi issue. It's more or less, allowing me to even use Wi-Fi.
When you navigate to the wi-fi section, you first have to turn it on. Well, when I turn it on, my device gets hung at the "Turning On Wi-Fi" page. It doesn't move past that. So I can't even ATTEMPT a connection to my Wi-Fi. In other words, it's basically not turning Wi-Fi on.
So this isn't an issue with connecting to my router, or any of that. It's an issue with turning wi-fi on. >_< sorry if you got confused with that. I'm doing my best to explain, quite tired at the moment.
You should try flashing the gedeROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619550
I never had problems turning on my Wi-Fi with it. Before flashing Wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache, and Factory Reset (it will wipe all your data/apps)
The ROM though tends to drop the connection when downloading gameloft apps.
If you don't want to switch ROMs you should
1) Download your current ROM again and put it on the SD Card
2) Wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache - You don't have to do a Factory Reset when staying with the same ROM though it wouldn't hurt to wipe it.
3) Flash the ROM.
Good Luck
Same thing that's happening to me... can't turn wifi on or off, i get a lot of errors in logcat, the mac-fix.sh script doesn't do anything and the problem remains even when changing roms (i tried cm9, gedeROM and modaco, wiping cache/dalvik, data and system partitions each time with no luck). I'm starting to think it's a hardware problem.

I don't think its a hardware problem. Well I hope its not. Wondering if its a possibility that the kernel really messed things up somehow and its like locked. But I am glad to see I'm not the only one with this issue. Saddened that it has no solution.

I had similar issues with my phone...first reflash your rom. Reboot to recovery. Flash the kernel. Reboot. Always make sure you wipe cache and dalvik cache. This could all be happening from a bad flash

[Q] Bluetooth Stuck on 'Tunring ON'!

GREAT. I was looking forward to root my One V this Saturday night 'cause I had holiday from college and classes on Sunday..:cyclops:
And WoW! My Bluetooth is Stuck badly!:crying::crying: Yesterday, I turned it ON to send some files to my Xperia Mini and it said Bluetooth is Turning ON... After 5-6 seconds, the phone automatically Switched OFF. There were no issues like low RAM or anything which slowed it down to such an extent that it should power it OFF automatically. After restarting, the phone still said 'Bluetooth is turning ON...' in Settings. But it never turned on. Today morning it was still stuck at 'Turning ON'... I tried to restart the phone then. Now this is what happens : It restarts normally and it shows the Bluetooth symbol in the Status Bar indicating Bluetooth is turned ON. Again, it automatically restarts in 7-8 seconds and then it shows 'Bluetooth is Turning ON...' !! I'm fed up! Tried restarting it a couple of times but this doesn't solve the problem. :crying:
The last time I restarted it, I quickly entered Settings and when it was showing 'Bluetooth Turned ON', I quickly tapped on it and switched it OFF. As usual, the phone again restarted and Bluetooth was Turned OFF.
I thought that the problem was solved, but again, after sometime, I turned it on and again it's stuck on 'Turning ON'. Again, the whole process - Restarts, shows Turning ON, then I restart manually, shows it's Turned ON, reboots again in 7-8 seconds, shows it's still Turning ON.. :crying:
Any way to resolve this problem except Factory Data Reset?

Piggybacking on this open Bluetooth thread. Similar issue with failure to turn on BT.
Rooted HTC One V - CDMA
Running CM10 rom (20121028 Primoc)
Flashed the kernal within the Zip
Saw the instruction above to wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Completed both wipes using CWM recovery and then flashed the same kernel, but still no luck with BT.
Anything I've missed or additional tips?

'Cause it was really irritating before it got an update...
Never posted a single comment on it after the system update.. its smooth and sleek now..
no probs. You'all don't need to put light on the past..
Had I not liked my phone even today, I'd never create this thread! I'd look for some other phone..
I'm lovin' One V
i know
Finally, fixed it. Factory Reset.
Did a Factory Reset and finally fixed it! Surprisingly, it has become smooth and fast! With the same installed apps, 200MB RAM is always free. NFS is running without lags!

Completed the suggested steps above, but still no luck.
Alternatively, installed the latest CM10 nightly rom via Zip on SD card.
Flashed the kernel in the Zip.
Had BT working but then not WiFi.
Installed PacMan 15.3 via Zip on SD card
Flashed the kernel in the Zip.
Now back to WiFi but no BT.
Is there something I'm not doing correctly in the wiping process?

No need to reply. I was able to get it working.
Yesterday I unlocked my bootloader, rooted my device, and then installed CM9
Now when I try to turn on BT it just says :Turning Bluetooth On..." and never does anything.
Also my GPS doesn't work. No matter how long I wait it never gets a fix, just the giant circle covering 1 square KM.
Both were working previously so it is obviously something I did (or didn't do)
From my GSM One V:

i think its an update problem because nowadays many users have same problem, you can do factory reset till HTC release new update or else rooting is a good option

Strange occurence of phone constantly restarting.

Hello,
I have owned a Sprint Galaxy S III since August of 2012 and have been using it pretty much flawlessly until this week.
To give some history, I rooted it once it became a common thing to do and have CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4.
I have loaded many different roms - cyanogenmods, m.o.a.r., wicked, miui to try out and many others and have never had an issue.
I recently upgraded to M.O.A.R. v 6.0 at home and everything seemed great - loaded apps, settings, etc. The next day on the way to work, the phone restarted by itself. I thought was strange but chalked it up to a new rom issue. When I got to work, the frequency of the issue increased to the point that the phone was no longer usable as it would just continue to restart, boot, etc.
Restoring the rom I previously had did nothing to help the issue.
I looked up online at possibilities and came across the SD card issue. I replaced it, but still occurs. I've tried a few different roms and no matter what, it seems to continuously boot and restart based on certain locations that I am in or am passing through.
Today, I turned off 4G LTE as preferred mobile network and it seemed to keep the phone on. I have not done extensive testing, but could this be an issue? I am able to use 4G LTE at home with no problem as well as other areas, but it seems that once I am in or pass through certain locations, that it is crashing my phone? Maybe the GPS?
Are there any tips or suggestions of what I can do or try? I am at a loss as to how to fix this when it has not been an issue up until this week after flashing to MOAR v6.0. I've wiped data, cache, dalvik, many times and retried but still is happening.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
At first it sounded like sudden death syndrome (a power button failure) but when you said turning off 4G fixed it that is very weird. Have you tried asking in the M.O.A.R thread?

Are you restoring any System Data ? I would suggest doing a Clean install. Meaning a FULL Wipe : System - Data - Dalvik - Dalvik Cache - Factory Reset ( 3x's ) . I also like to wipe Internal Storage. But that's up to you. Then Flash the Rom, and let it Boot. Do not load anything, or tweak anything. Just leave the device alone for the first 5min. Then test it to be sure everything is working correctly before loading apps, or doing any settings.
Just to update...
I clean installed MOAR 6 again - this time I upgraded CWM to latest version. I clean wiped data/cache, cache, dalvik about 3 or 4 times. Once it reinstalled, I noticed the data wasn't working at all so I did that ##72786# (forgot numbers off top of head) that reactivated phone. The data came back and I thought this was going to solve all the issues...keep in mind I did all this in the evening from home last night.
On the way to work this morning, sure enough once I got in the vicinity of work, phone restarted a few times. I was quick enough to catch it one time to turn preferred mobile networks to 3G first and disable 4G... my phone has not restarted for the rest of the day.
It's great that it seems the issue is isolated to 4G, but I don't understand how it can be fine in some areas and not in others. For instance, at home, 4G works just fine.
I think I will try to go back to stock or try an aosp rom. I've seen in some places talk of MB1 and MD4...is there a way to tell which I have or is that related to anything?

Actually, yes - I have been putting my gmail account information in and it has been syncing the apps. It's just so odd because I haven't had issues for over a year and I don't recall installing any new stuff.
well, now it happened at home when turning on 4g... damn.

You did not mention wiping system. If you do not Wipe system, and also Factory Reset then it's really not a Clean install. I would still suggest a FULL Wipe, and Clean install. Then run the Device for a while without adding anything. See how it performs.
I ended up just flashing this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099 to stock with flash reset.
I am not sure about wiping system - I always just follow the steps of the rom wipe data/cache/dalvik. I will have to research on how to wipe system.
If you never wipe system you are definitely going to run into problems.

You just do it in Recovery before you flash. If you look at my Sig on a PC / Internet Mode there is a link on how to do Full Wipe before flashing a Rom.

[HELP] [SOLVED] Weird Wifi issue

Hey guys!
My wifi has been behaving strangely: when I get connect to a network it connects and disconnects intermittently( within 2-5 minutes usually). The weirder thing is, the only thing that seems to fix it for around a day or two is wiping the dalvik cache.
It is really annoying that I have to wipe the dalvik cache every other day to have a functioning Wifi! Please help :fingers-crossed:
P.s.:
Sleep policy is set to never;
I have tried new ROMs,kernels and modem - same problem.
I own a D855, international model, currently running Cloudy G3 2.5
UPDATE: Hey the problem seems to be fixed now!
I deleted the file in data/misc/dhcp and rebooted the phone a there it is! I have working wifi for 4 days now!! Thanks everyone!
i think i found the same problem but with full sol..

Try to clear your cache. If this doesn't work reflash your stock rom or rom your using this will help. It also could be an issue on your router. I once returned a router because it kept disconnecting the wifi with my phone and laptop
I cleaned all cache again and flashed Fulmics ROM. So far I have a stable connection, I hope it lasts
