Poor GPS Fix

Hi, i am currently using MCR 3.0 and everything is good, however, the GPS doesnt always get a fix. I can see with GPS status that it can see like 10 sattelites but cannot even get a single fix after 30mins. Sometimes it works really quickly, sometimes it doesnt work at all. Does anybody have a fix for this problem?

What Radio/Baseband are you using?
Right now I'm using 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 and am experiencing similar issues.
I may consider jumping up to 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26, which is supposedly much better, but apparently it kills WiFi as well.

mm radios affect the GPS and wifi as well? i always thought that it only affects the phone reception. right now im also using 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29, maybe i'll try upgrading it.

Well, unless it's any different than when I had my HTC Vogue, yeah, the Radio affects every wireless function of the phone essentially.
Just be careful upgrading to 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26, one user reported that the WiFi issues became permanent for some reason.

i am using 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 with MCR 3.0, no wifi problems for me. used it on the Hero21 1.7 with no problems also

Interesting, interesting... Now I'm tempted.
I'm on the stock (downgraded, rooted) ROM right now. I wonder if it will work properly.

i upgraded it, the wifi seemed to be much better now but i didnt see much difference with the GPS

Ginger Villain and WiFi

I have been on Ginger Villain 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 and i have had this problem.
When the wifi is connected, i would say once every five minutes it disconects and re-connects again. Even though this process takes a few seconds, it is very annoying when im on skype as it terminates the call.
I have set the wifi sleep policy to never. I have never had this problem on stock, modaco, and Robo HD roms.
One thing to note, i originally thought this was a gingerbread 2.3 problem. Too see if was true, i flashed the new modaco 2.3 rom and it was fine. I was using skype and other apps for over an hour and it did not disconnect.
So why is this happening in ginger villain?

One thing to note.
I live in a flat and therefore the wifi signal has always been quite low BUT it has always connected without any problems.
Could it be that GV 2.3 decreases wifi signal strength?

I have flashed the latest radio and ril which seems to have fixed it.
But now I am getting graphical issues as the screen is flashing and acting very weird on certain apps.

Anyone got any ideas?

I'm currently on 1.3 GV and have the same issue with the Wifi, about to try a different Kernel to see if it helps.
I've also noticed a decreased signal, I can be standing right next to my router and not receiving absolute full signal... Think it may be a ROM issue?
You have to remember these ROMs ain't perfect and each one seems to have it's flaws, but the dev's are getting there!

What kernel will you try?

Strange. I have no problem with wi-fi. Signal as well as on the stock rom. In the router logs no disconnects.
Kernel: 1.6 HAVS 1113Mhz + BFS from Villain setup
Radio: 32.44.00.32H_5.09.05.30_2

It is very strange, I have tried different radio's but still can't fix it.
Under normal internet use, it is quite difficult to tell that the connection has dis connected and reconnected as it only takes a few.seconds.
When using Skype or Google talk, you can tell and its very annoying.

Did you manage to fix this with a different kernel?

I am so glad I have finally found someone with the same issue as me! I have a relatively weak wifi signal (distance) from my hub to my room where I use my desire. On apps like youtube or bbc iplayer, it would suddenly turn off wifi and then reconnect all of a sudden. It meant watching anything with these apps is a nightmare. And I have always had it set to wifi sleep - never. I have never had this problem with any other ROM and I have tried loads. I originally put it down to my already tempermental internet, but I have now ruled this out. This is specifically a GV ROM issue.
GV 1.0 - 1.4 all had the same issue. Then, yesterday much to my surprise I saw in the 1.5 change log that one of the changes was that 1.5 "should fix the wifi sleep bug".
Last night, I tried iPlayer as usual, but I believe the problem still persists. I now don't know what to do. I will try resetting the wifi hub to defaults and so on, but I really don't think it will make a difference. I could try flashing a new kernal, but again I don't see how it would make a difference. Then I thought maybe a new radio, but I don't see the need. I'm using the latest official desire radio, and it works flawlessly on everything else.
So, I'm out of ideas, and my patience is slowly dying. I love the ROM for all its worth. It works perfectly, except for this. But for me, stable wifi is a deal breaker. I might need to try something else like amethyst.

Yes, sounds exactly like my problem. There Is a problem with Ginger villain as it works fine on other Roms.
I have tried so many different kernel's, radios and ril's but to no luck.
The only last solution I can think of other than to change rom is to try the modaco kernel. But the problem with that is, its not available seperately so we need someone to extract it from the rom.

I've got a strange issue with my HTC Desire and GV 2.5 :
at home, it doesn't even detect my Wifi (others devices do, of course), while at work it works perfectly.
The security is the same (WPA2/AES) between work and home, so I don't see any explanation... do you think it can be caused by the channel used ?

What radio version ya are using...? The latest one is 11.04.21_M.
However for Miui recommended Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2.
Most people don't have any issues using different RIL, if changing radio didn't help ya. Try to find the RIL matching your radio version too.

[Q] cm7 wifi Range!

Hi
I Am Running The Latest Cm7 (7.1) and its has been great in everything. The Major Problem is The Wifi Range in This rom, i am standing in front of the router and all i get is 2 bars of wifi so i would like to know if there is a solution for that.
i am using the 2.6.35.14 lordmod kernel 8.5 cfs + 2wcr
and the baseband version : 12.54.60.25u_26.09.04.11_M2
is There a solution for that please?
should i change the radio or something?
if so what is recomended and where i cant get it.
And Thanks For You Help Brothers

Is your battery door damaged? Try removing it, clean the metal contacts and apply it again. The battery door houses the wifi antenna so maybe that might help.
If that doesn't work then try flashing a new Radio and its corresponding RIL as well.

i would have a look at your wireless router to make sure it's not that first
does the internet speed feel fast like normal? sometimes the UI can report the wrong number of bars but you actually have good signal.
If those two things don't work, flashing a new radio might help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877295

[Q] CyanogenMod 10: Wifi Problem?

Hey There,
I've just installed this fine ROM today, and it seems great,
but for some reason, the wifi reception is BAD now.
It works fine if I seat near my router, but if I move 3 meters away
it looses the connection ... and says the reception is POOR.
Any1 else has this problem?

Which version of CM10 did you flash, if it's anything older than beta 1 try flashing Beta 1 ? if you still have problems after Beta1
Try flashing a different kernel and see if that resolves your problem. (if i can spare you some time, try faux123's kernel)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647993
And then if you still have problems.
Try running the Viper ROM 2.6.0 with the Butter hacks runs very smooth.

Thanks for the quick replay
I flashed the "[08-09] [ROM] CyanogenMod 10 - Endeavor Unleashed" rom.
I don't think this is the same cm10 everyone's using.
and I don't really understand, doesn't the Kernal comes with the rom?
Can I change it without changing a rom ?

I notice the same problem a few days ago (I think is since I have install CM10). I have switched on OrDrost since 2 days, I tried the Faux kernel and finally I just revert to full stock rom and my wifi signal haven't change :/

But on the stock rom WIFI was ok.
Update: Ok I did the "Squeeze" test. Wifi is great whn I squeeze
So it is a hardware problem?? How it only started after I put CM10?

Have you reinstalled the stock rom since you have the problem?
I don't know if CM10 is the cause, or it's a coincidence..

there's an UNOFFICIAL release at the moment which may fix some issues, though I've not noticed anything and I've had every release since A10 installed, so it could be a hardware issue.

I'm on the newest build of cm10 and my WiFi network is fine. I can from leedroid and so far just the same. I do have a tiny bit of earphone cable between my back and hard case which gives me my full bar due to the hardware fault.
Couldnt be bothered sending it back. So this works. Bit did recorded it with HTC so they know I have the fault.

Not yet, I really hate the stock rom.
tgcp, Where can I get this rom?
(Although it really seems like an hardware problem,
I heard the latest stock update helps a little so there
might be a software solution)

But if you use Cm10 without that little earphone cable, the wifi won't work good?
BTW, what does htc support ask to fix the problem? Do they care you rooted and unlocked the device?

The cable is about 3mm in lengh and as i have a hard case, its enough to compress the connection inside the phone where the fault is.
Htc would of course fix it, but whats the point if the phone is working and its not noticeable.
I would have had to relock bootloader and go back on stock rom.

I can't move more then 2 meters from my router or it disconnects.
Does your wifi issue not that bad? (without the cable's help)

With out my fix the signal is a joke. 1 bar when 3 feet away. Wasnt usable.

Problem is I can't get back to stock! from what I understand the Stock RUU for my phone wasn't released ...
Do you think HTC will be "understanding" and fix the wifi issue even with a custom rom?
(they'll know anyway that I opened bootloader)

Try flash the Rom with the stock kernel, that will surely solve the WiFi problem.

Did you not do a backup before installing custom rom. Im positive that even if you relock the bootloader they can see that if they went in to recovery. But unlikely. So if you flash stock rom and re lock bootloader, remove root you should be fine

Hi, try using tbaldens CM10. It can be found under HTC ONE X ORIGINAL ANDROID DEVELOPMENT. I found this to be the best CM10

I have been chasing this problem ever since installing CM10 on my Evo 4g LTE. I was getting 4 times the wifi distance on the stock rom. I go about 30 ft. outside the office and wifi drops. Also, what is the most annoying... I stream over our LAN, and when the screen is off, it turns wifi off after a few minutes. (and yes, the check box is checked to keep wifi alive). I've also tried all of the wifi fix apps and none work. If I leave the screen on and stream........ it is good anywhere from 1/2 hour to an hour, then it will just stop. This kills my battery of course. The problem 1st occured when I first bought my OEM 4g lte, but there was an option in the advanced menu "best wifi performance", after checking that, it worked great, then I switched to CM10 and I now have the wifi issue, and there is no option for "best wifi performance". I've tried a couple other jellybean roms and they have the issue as well. This is driving me nuts. I hope someone finds a solution. I don't think the average person would find this as a problem, but when I stream over the net and move all about the shop, it is unacceptable.

I faced the same issue but not on any other ROM. It was specifically with Cyanogenmod 10. I was upset because it gave me the best results but the wifi result was really poor.
However, since I work with wireless networks often, I decided to explore Cyanogenmod's wifi settings. I noticed that if you go in the Advanced Wifi functions (which you can find in the Wifi options menu) you will notice that there is an option called "Wi-Fi Region Code".
Apparently, this option allows you to select the frequency bands your device can operate and is subject to the different world regions. It is quite possible that your Access Point follows the regulatory body of your country and you should know which frequency bands they allow the AP to operate. Due to this it may be just that the Cyanogenmod, by default, put you in a different regulatory domain and limits your frequency band to a subset offered by the AP. Hence, this effectively limits your wifi reach even if you are sitting right next to the AP.
I chose "Japan" since I remembered that their regulatory domain allowed for quite a large subset of frequencies that are allowed on the WIFI spectrum. This immediately increased my received signal strength and I did not have any problem since.
I suggest you play with this, it is likely that your android device will start functioning correctly. However, if you are facing this limited frequency issue on more than one device and that too running different operating systems and different wifi hardware...chances are that your wifi router is malfunctioning. In that case, replacement or repair of the Access point is the best alternative.
Good luck. I hope this solves your problem.

I've tried changing my Region Code, but for some reason it keeps defaulting back to Europe... Any ideas? I've tried changing it numerous times, same result.
