Is there a WiFi fix for the Aggressive Freedom(universal) kernel?
I seem to be unable to connect to wifi, in networks it just says "Error" under the WiFi option.
From what I've read in the kernel's thread, it's the undervolting itself that's the issue, seems to cause problems with radio reception overall. So presumably going to a kernel that undervolts less aggressively should fix that, or at least help.
If it's an issue not related to the undervolting, then it'll be up to Lithid to develop a fix. Or you could go and download the source and try your hand at kernel hacking
Alright, I attempted flashing the other 2, more, less, and I tried Golden Monkey, all three of those don't allow my phone to boot... Quite disappointing, lots of work goes behind kernels and I am in no way upset with the kernels, just my phone.
Ima try the freedom stock kernel and see how that goes, but is there any special method to flashing a kernel?
Nothing particularly special. I wipe Cache and Dalvik-cache before flashing a new kernel every time and that generally seems to work ok. With the earlier Freedom kernel versions on MikG I found that flashing the stock kernel, wiping cache/dalvik and then flashing the new kernel worked better than just flashing the new kernel over.
Yeah, IDK what i'm doing wrong but none of the kernels will work for me. The only one that worked was Freedom-Aggressive, but I had no WiFi and it kept going to 1x, so I just a nandroid restore and im gonna stick with whatever synergy is running as a kernel.
I unfortunately don't have any personal experience running Synergy so I can't really offer much advice there. I'm not sure if there's a minimum number of posts requirement, but you could try searching through the thread for the kernel on the Dev. forum, and possibly post in the thread if there's no useful search results.
Yeah I don't have enough posts yet to post in the dev forum, but I have scoured the dev section for synergy and haven't found anything yet.
I am having the same issue I haven't tried more or less but I have tried golden monkey, both aggressive freedom universal, and godmode. They all seem to break wifi and 4g on synergy rls1 with godmode, on my phone. I had some luck with the aggressive freedom godmode kernel however my superuser app, setcpu and benchmark app kept on force closing. Ever since then every time I reflash it, it always breaks wifi. I am somewhat new to all this and have spent days reading through posts and haven't found much of a solution. I would love to figure this out because with either aggressive kernal (godmode or universal) my phone is super fast. I am almost and I mean almost ready kiss wifi goodbye but I would like to find a solution. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I would really like to find a fix for the issue or find someone who may have a way to fix it. IDK though, my evo won't flash any kernels with Synergy RLS1 + godmode. Got it to work once, but after I flashed to the back up since WiFi didn't work, my phone just gets stuck on the htc screen.
I'm just so new to all this, and work so many hours its real hard to spend any time figuring it out. I won't have much time this coming week to do much with testing but I will try and get as much info and kernels tested to find out which work best but so far the 3 I have tried wifi won't start and says error. Sux cuz my phone is so fast with aggressive freedom kernal

Knight,
I would suggest going to synergy rls 1 ( the regular version not godmode) it seems a lot of phones dont like god mode but run smooth as butter on rls 1.
I am running synergy rls 1 with golden monkey universal kernal. no problems with wifi. Cant test 4g as I am not in a 4g area.
Hope this helps
Thanks I will try that later on tonight.

Ok this is the best advice i have read so far.. i was having major issues flashing kernels.. when i could get them to work, wifi was not working and neither was 4g. So i flashed over to synergy +godmode, and it was so slow and sluggish with the stock kernel on my phone.. i tried freedom aggressive, golden monkey, netarchy, and while they all made my phone much more responsive and fast, i still had issues with 4g and wifi.. So today i found this, and flashed over to the regular synergy without godmode.. Already i can tell a huge difference with the stock kernel, it is very fast and responsive. I am flashing over Freedom aggressive to see if wifi and 4g work, crossing my fingers, if not i will then try golden monkey..
*******Update***********
OK merchmonster, you sir are awesome.. I can confirm wifi and 4g working with synergy rls 1 no godmode, and freedom aggressive universal.. Very awesome!!!!!!! If i could thank you a thousand more times i woud!!
I had to replace the freedom aggressive kernel due to my wifi stopped working a few days after flashing so I wanted to put the stock back on after flashing and during reeboot it gets stuck on the white htc evo 4g screen. I wiped dalvic and cache 3 time first. Any ideas?

So I'm fairly new to rooting and have been flashing a bunch of ROMs since I have and everything has worked fine but today I have noticed that I can very rarely get 3g in my house and a lot of the times its completely gone, I can't even get 1x. I have not messed with radios and I hadn't planned on doing so but what's going on here has anyone else had similar issues? I've flashed different ROMs after full wipes and still am having troubles. What gives?
Edit:
I am also getting really slow USB speeds. Like 10 minutes to put a nandroid backup onto my sd, this used to take a minute or less. What is happening and how can I fix my phone I'm going on vacation tomorrow I need it working
Do a full wipe in recovery, then flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087077
As far as slow SD speed, are you on an AOSP rom? If so, Chad's incredikernel will fix it. Look around on his thread, I think the latest release has it incorporated.
Yea I was trying MIUI so that's that problem.
Edit:
Whew you are a a life safer that brought back my great 3g speeds. I would like to know what exactly this did though and if I can flash new ROMs again and what might have happened to cause the problem.
Another cause for this to happen is that if u flash a Rom with Sprint source and u call the *228 it will mess your phone up and you will need to go back to the incredible official froyo to fix it... I had this issue my self ...

I thought I remembered hearing something about turning the phone on or off while in airplane mode causing this too, but I could be wrong. Glad that you got it working, if you have more questions feel free to ask.
I'm having problems with 3g as well. Has anyone tried applying this then going back to another rom?
It's my understanding that the GB leak fixes it, and you can go back to the rom of your choice after flashing it.
I've tried about many ROM's such as miui, CM7, decks, etc.... I've had no luck, the wifi is just so horrible in many places where in a sense ROM I'd have perfect wifi or good, compared to poor wifi disconnecting after a while.
Thanks for reading Anyone have a solution?
I use CM7 and have absolutely no problem with my wifi. Have you tried CM7? If so, have you tried anything else?

Yeah I've tried it just bit ago and the past days as well but I'm sure it isn't a hardware issue because on nrg 3.5 rom from Nov18 my wifi works perfect where I would I couldn't get wifi signal at all on cm.
The problem is that sense doesn't show the right signal. Compare the speeds and you'll see what I mean

It has nothing to do with speed, please read what I said... I lose signal on aosp ROM's on common areas that I get nearly excellent coverage in, note I tested this with airplane mode on to ensure my wifi doesn't disconnect and switch to 3G. A couple of other others on the miui thread have also said that same.
I'm using the new aosp ROM ice cream sandwich for my phone and wifi works like a charm. Using it now

I'm guessing it has a new kernel? I will flash it tomorrow to see how it works, just to clarify, you are talking about the alpha build right?

I don't think you understand what I said. Sense shows the wrong wifi signal. It shows 3 bars for me while aosp shows 1. Aosp shows true signal because I am far from the router
Having trouble with AOSP? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702
Are you using the included kernel or flashing custom ones? While your signal may show lower, you shouldn't notice a drop in actual connectivity. Flashing an incompatible kernel, like a Sense kernel, can mess up your wifi.
I'm on MIUI right now showing a full wifi signal. I haven't used Sense in a very long time, but I don't remember getting better wifi reception while I was using it. I'm using Tiamat right now, maybe try a different kernel next time you flash AOSP and see if that helps. There are also a few tweaks you can do to help with your wifi signal, like changing the wifi scan interval in build.prop, but I haven't actually done anything like that since my signal is fine.

I've been sticking to the stock kernel that the ROM's have and savaged. I'll give the tiamat kernel a try with miui, what Tiamat version are you using so I can try it if not maybe I'll try getting a phone replacement to see if I might have a fault or evil mojo evo that hates aosp lol! hardware 004 here.

I've heard that 004s can be problematic, I have a 003 and only get issues when I go a while without wiping fully. I'm using 4.1.0 right now, start there and maybe try other versions if you want. I ran SZ for a while and it started off smooth but eventually got laggy and unresponsive at times despite anything I would do (wiping caches, etc). Switched back to Tiamat and all has been working well since.
Give it a go, if it doesn't work for you then maybe it's some kind of hardware issue. Just to be sure, do a full wipe and try to avoid restoring anything unless you absolutely have to - definitely don't restore system data. Unfortunately you can't take your phone in to Sprint and get a replacement since your wifi is dodgy on AOSP. If it happened on stock then you might have a case.

I've been using the tiamat for now and it seems more stable on wifi, funny though, the wifi seemed bad on the default miui kernel. I also moved my router to a higher place on a shevel with nothing steel or bad around it. Oh and don't worry my local sprint store in Los angeles is a big time Hispanic corporate... they replace devices for any complaining here to avoid issues with the people lol! I got to love it.
Edit: you are leet according to your post count ahaha.

Hey guys,
I've clicked around a bit but can't seem to find anyone with the same issue, and I went through about 40 pages on Calkulin's ROM but I really don't want to go through all 200 and some if somebody here can provide a solution.
I've used his ROMs for the past year, really fantastic, no complaints at all. I flashed his beta ICS build a few months ago and it worked well with the exception that it would randomly reboot for no apparent reason. I could be in the middle of a text message or it could be sitting on my desk and all of a sudden, reboot. I went back to his old ROM and decided to put off ICS for a few months to work out the bugs. Today I put his newest ICS ROM up and once again, random reboots. It doesn't seem that others are having the same problem so I'm not sure what to make of it. And for the sake of putting it out there, it's always a clean install - Format All, flash modem and ROM.
Anybody have any ideas? Suggestions? Any help is seriously appreciated.
Thanks guys.
Ive heard of someone else having this issue before have you tried a fresh install with a new download of EL29 or EL26? When i have had issuez in the past that could be the culprit try a new download also you could try one of the new kernals posted that may help as well.

Are you using 4g?? This is a known issue with leaving 4g enabled.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
It is a known issue that if the hacked Hotspot is installed and you are running on 4G that you will experience random reboots. Mijjah74 has implemented a fix for it in his ROMs and it is beginning to go out among the other developers as well.
Until your developer implements the fix the cure is to not use 4G.
Awesome, thanks a ton. What a goofy bug. Yes I frequently use 4g, hourly even, and although I rarely use the hot spot, it is installed. I wonder if un installing it would fix the issue.
Thanks again.
Any idea if using am older modem would fix it?

No, reinstalling won't help. I was testing 4g for this and (for me at least) it would reboot at about exactly the 1 hr mark if 4g is running constantly. Pretty strange but it did it several times in a row that way. I think someone said that they have the timing down pretty well and I can't recall exactly what the recommendation was, turn 4g off and back on right before it's going to reboot (you should time yours to see when it does it). Something like that.
Addendum: FYI, I'm running stock EL29 modem. A different modem won't change the 4g reboot issue either, sorry.
I had random reboots on every ROM. I went all the way back to stock unrooted, and started back over. Haven't has any issues since.

Hello all i am new here. ive been rooting for a little while now and i have nothing but issues with my modems and connection. Im running The Blu Kuban ICS 1.0.4.0 with steady hawkins fd02 kernal with cwm. ive tried mutliple roms and kernals and every modem out there. every speed test i run on 4G i get under one meg. before on a stock el29 even rooted i would get 13 to 15 megs. but as soon as i install any rom GB or ics its dead. i am look for any suggestions i can get. thank you for your time. and yes im aware of looking around the site. i have not seen anything that really equals to my issues.

Too me your issues are not exactly something the community can help you with especially if you have tried everything out there. I would just odin back to complete stock and try your speed test again. If you achieve the speeds you want then I would then proceed with flashing roms only and do speed tests after every one.
Honestly the EL29 modem has worked the best for me and I am on CM9. I know you are looking for answers but I unfortunately don't know what they could be other than just keep trying. Different modems work better for different people in different areas. So the resolution for one may not be the resolution for all in this case.
Final choice may be what did you root your phone too do. If its just tethering then Foxfi can cure that with out being rooted. I guess its a matter of whats most important too you if you cant get back up to the speeds you desire...
Edit: Have you done Profile Updates after updating modems? Have you done PRL updates at all? Have you asked Sprint to refresh your data?
I have tried the prl and profile on about 75 of the modems ive flashed. some are 50/50 some see very minor jumps and some seem to decrease. i thought about calling sprint but i was nervous if they would ask about the specs that i dont have due to the phone being rooted and flashed. ive seen a post about how the phone may be stuck in 1x in the radio or something along those lines. but once i get into the debug mode all of the menus and everything that is packed in is way out of my league. im going to wait for the kuban update. i will start from square one and test everything out. EL29 did wonders for me stock root but once i flashed over to caulk or blu kuban it all seems to go down hill. i really like the layouts and the battery life thats why i always come back to a custom rom. thank you for helping me.
So lately my wifi has been having constant issues of not staying connected. I have relashed the kernel and the correct wifi moules several times, wiping everything before flashing. And it will work fine for anywhere from 1-3 days then its all over again. Seriously getting on my nerves. I have tried finding a means to increase the power of the wifi and only found something for the X10, but running that really made my phone go apesh!t and had to fully restore everything.
Long story short, I am just tired of this and i have not heard or seen anything from DoomLord in ages..... I wonder if he has moved on. Dont get me wrong ya'll I really love this kernel and am incredibly grateful to DoomLord for releasing kernels for the CDMA phones.
So my question is, other then DoomKernel what other kernels do people recommend? I am on GB 2.3.3 CDMA. Thank you in advance
EDIT: I have changed the title of this thread.
OK so I flashed the Stock with overclock kernel and everything works great I have no wifi issues. And I have noticed that games are running smoother as well. Most notably the Call of Duty Zombies, which always rebooted plays great now and with no problems.... I even had a weird issue with MC3 every so often where my guy would just start moviing in circles.... all that is no longer doing that... in short I do not know why DoomKernel was causing my phone to freak out as I have been using it for about a year, granted I was using the latest (april 15 2012) kernel for CDMA. Anyways...any ideas why DK would be giving me these issues like this? Also I have attempted to use the X-Parts (formerly CWM Auto Installer) and I dont think its working as whenever I tell the prgroam to take me to the recovery on reboot it does not work...
bump......
What I have done is to manually enter in my IP address etc. That isn't a fix but it works...
