[Q] INC and Cyanogen 7.1 wifi drop issues - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

two of my INCs are experiencing this same WIFI issues. The signal is dropped every once in a while, and it the phone won't reconnect. I know that the Cyano builds have issues with wifi and there were some work arounds ( like updating the wifi files in roms ), but they were for different phones, so I am affraid to try it on my inc.
have anyone found solution for this problem ?

Does this happen on all wifi networks, or just your own?

all wifi networks. Also the "sleep mode wifi off" is turned off. There are numerous threads about issues with the WIFI on cyano builds, so I know it is not an isolated issue.. I just don't know if there is a fix for it ( for the inc )

Have you tried flashing a different radio or kernel? It may help to do so.

no I haven't.. I never messed with radios or kernels. I just flash to a rom that is available to download. My current Kernel is [email protected] #3 and the radio is 2.15.00.07.28.
are there any other version that you would recommend ?

Your radio is quite old I would try updating it to 2.15.10.07.07. As for the kernel I am not familiar with CM so im not sure what its based on or if it requires that kernel to run. You may want to ask arround the cm forums if their are other working kernels.

Cyanogen > Flashed Radio + RIL, now no more GSM (No Service)

Hello awesome crowd,
I flashed my DHD to CyanogenMod 7.1.
One day on it, I noticed idle radios were eating serious battery, so I decided to update to the latest available from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877295
Flashed the radio, then installed the RIL, all seemed to run smooth, until reboot. When no GSM was available anymore.
Please help me fix the radio
Missed to say that Settings>About is reading "Baseband Version UNKNOWN".

Maybe try re-flashing your ROM (without wiping)? I'm guessing you've flashed an HM RIL which are meant for Sense ROMs.

God bless you, hopscotchjunkie for the fast response.
I did as suggested and my GSM is back. May not be brilliant on the battery but hey - still working
more complicated
I found this threat's got a similar issue as mine, unless it displays the correct baseband as what I wanted to flash to it, the. Thing is it's only able to connect to 3g network, 2g network are still indicating no service although the signal got full bars, can you guys tell me what I purpose to do??

RIL is just for sense based roms. AOSP roms do not need RIL, so changing it will mess it up. You can flash a radio but that's it.
Re: Cyanogen > Flashed Radio + RIL, now no more GSM (No Service)
Do you ever need to flash rils coming from a cm based rom to sense based? Because as I recall,sometimes the dev has said a ril is included with the rom?

[Q] Radio on CM7-based ROMs (BlackIce specifically)

I was wondering about this. I've always had Sense-based ROMs on my DHD. I've switched to BlackIce yesterday.
With Sense ROMs ppl seem to be really anal about using the right radio with the right RIL. With BlackIce, and in other CM7 threads I've checked out, it doesn't see to be much of an issue in the CM7 community.
How come? Can I just use any radio? And about any RIL should work?
It would seem to me there are also combinations of radios and G-RILs that would work better, but I can't find a list anywhere. Would anyone have any info?
im pretty sure RILs only have issues with htc sense based roms
then again i might be wrong but when i tried it i used the latest radio and as some one suggested 1003 ril
Seems like it yeah, I'm using 1003 now with radio before latest. Seems to work better for me... it's still sort of magic...

[Q] RIL Confusion

Hi Everyone,
I'm a bit confused with RIL files and i would like to have some clarifications.
From what i am reading on sense roms needs to be flashed with RILs which i get. I currently have Radio 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M and i flash the Ril 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M when i'm using this ROM DHD_WWE_3.12.405.1_STOCK_rooted_by_nitr00. Ok, so for AOSP/AOKP/MIUI Roms i shouldn't need to install andy RILs correct? Just install the ROM and go, right? Also if i do want to try out Sabsa Prime v8.5 is there a new set of Rils that i need to use or do i use the Ril i was using before?
For people who have different brand phones other than HTC is there a Ril alternate that needs to be installed to match the radio or is it flash ROM and go?
Many thanks everyone. This have been stopping me from trialing out different Roms except for modified sense gingerbread roms like ARHD.

Only use RILs on ROMs that are both Sense and pre-ICS. For all other ROMs (like Sabsa Prime, which is ICS) you just flash the ROM and you're good.

Just to make it a little more understandable:
Every Rom needs a RIL;
But in many Custom Roms the Devs already build in the RILs;
The RIL must correspond with your Radio; if it doesnt, you will end up with no Reception;
See the quote below and the the related Thread for more detailed Information.
I just followed the discussion some days ago, cause I wanted to update My Desire HD to the latest Radio, and didn't wanted to brick my phone.
It's always better to understand why things behave like they do, instead of follow some instruction without being aware whats happening.
ShadowPony said:
I don't entirely agree with your statements.
EVERY ROM comes with a RIL. Period. No exception, otherwise the radio doesn't work.
For AOSP ROMs there is a RIL, but have not seen it apart from ROM.
With Sense everything gets weirder because HTC released a new RIL for almost any combination of Sense with OS (at least until ICS, where old RILs no longer function properly)
even with any sense ROM, you can only flash the baseband (radio), and if you have reception problems, then also go for the RIL
also, the latest radio with RIL is: 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30564790#post30564790 (this thread)
@o4kareg, GetRIL reports matching baseband/RIL for me with 12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M and the corresponding RIL

Right!!
your Rom has the RIL included...
my DHD runs on radio 12.69a.60.29U_26.17.14.11_M also without extra installing RIL...
cause it's included in my ROM by the Dev.

So if i don't want to update my radio what RIL should i use for my version? will the gingerbread Ril be used? and how about AOSP roms? I had be experiences updating the radio before. i've update radio + matching RIL and my phone cannot hold a call connection longer than 10mins.

Unless you have a GB Sense ROM, just use the RIL that came with the ROM.

Im sure there workin on the fix as we speak. The best bet is to install the latest xm kernel with the wifi fix or head over to kozmic for his wifi fix. it helped me tons. better then it use to be.

Like the problem, which doesn't occur at every phone, the fix doesn't work at all affected phones, too.
My bet is to wait for HTC to issue the fix. There is one concern, though - we might be waiting few months for that to happen (along with Sense 5 :laugh.
Until then, 3.14 works just as good!
EDIT: did you even read the whole post? He said that he tried latest XM and KK, but it didn't work.
I think I just will go back to 3.14 rom but I Loved the smoothness of 3.18 thats all it was pretty awesome ah welllll.
Thats true, Stick with a 3.14 base for now until a permanent fix is available

[Q] G3 Modem/Radio [AOSP | MULTIROM]

A few questions i just wanted to clear up:
I have the d855, The latest flashable version i can find of the modem is 20F, does 20H modem exist? or can i extract it from primary and make a flashable zip for secondary?
Are modem and radio the same thing? (i.e. affect all wireless comms such as bluetooth, wifi & network?)
for Multirom are the radios/modems shared between the roms (inherited from primary) or are the modems seperate (im talking about mixing stock based roms with the likes of cm12 as secondary/ third)
do aosp roms have the latest modem? using cm12 nightlies atm.
Main reason being having network issues, 4g doesnt seem as fast, and i have horrible bluetooth stutter (that i dont see in my nexus 9 or 5 with cm12)
p.s. i will try add as many answers to the OP as possible when i get/find some
___________________________________________________________________
Off topic -> ive been testing my secondary roms in 1600x900 @ 341dpi (almost looks like normal) on cm12. performance is great! quick browser benchmarks show 31% increase in graphics/javascript and general performance (no animation lag at all). Is there a way to limit fps for the entire device. like KK introduced 60fps limit. how about this lower resolution with better performance. but at 40fps cap to save more battery?
let me know if you find the resolution stuff interesting once i get these roms working well ill release some tests on my blog (on sig)​
Hi, I don't have the same G3, but I can answer some questions.
Yes, modem and radio are the same thing. I think I found out that WIFI is not controlled by the modem on the G3; don't know about bluetooth.
Custom ROMs do not usually contain a modem at all, they leave that up to you and they (try to) use whatever modem you have in your system. You can use different modems with different ROMs by flashing them separately from the ROM. I don't know if you can automate that with MultiROM.
Assume that everything I didn't answer, I don't know. ? Good luck!

Thanks you! everything you've said makes sense my guess is if bluetooth and wifi are not controlled by the modem then updating the modem likely wont fix the bluetooth issue -> however i notices 3-4 bluetooth commits on today cm12 nightly. ill check out how that comes along!
What modem are you currently using?
I was about to make a thread until i saw yours. My data does not work at all after flashing a custom rom,
so i guess slower data would be better than none at all for now.

Well im running primary rom as chupachups (20H base) with 20E Chupa Kexec kernel. and as explained above i guess my secondary rom inherits whatever radio is primary or existing before the flash. Ive flashed 20F a while a go no idea what im running at the moment (will check after the weekend, im out for a heavy weekend) ill boot into primary and check my modem.
just fyi my second rom is cm12 (latest nightly) Bluetooth audio issues are greatly lessened! instead of audio jumps now i get large blocks of stopping so 2-3 seconds audio halts (may be due to stream catching up) and then like 20ish mins of continueous playback id say thats a huge improvement! will try with offline/cached music too
