Desire Z on WIND Mobile (which radio version)

Has anyone figured out which radio version works best with WIND Mobile in Canada?
My phone seems to randomly lose data connection. To get data back, I turn mobile data off then on again. It happens so frequently, I have it in my Notification window as a toggle.
I have Automatcher v7 to match RIL with radio version. I also have wipe EFS.
Thanks,
Scott

You could try to change your APN settings. Also i thought the DZ dosent work on wind because it has differrent frequencies?

Oops! I meant G2 (T-Mobile). I have a G2.
If my APN settings were incorrect, why would my data work most of the time?

As someone who has friends on Wind... I'm thinking it may be your network. Also, you're not supposed to match the rils unless you're using sense. Which ROM are you running?

Use latest Radio from T-Mobile 26.13.04.19_M, I'm on it, have never lost 3.5 G data connection

I am currently running ILWT but experienced the same running CM 7, ICS Audacity and ICS Quattro.
I have flashed the newest TMobile ROM a few times.. It must be the WIND network here.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA

Update
I don't think it is the network. My father's Amaze does not have this problem in the same places.
ILWT has been the most reliable ROM for me so far. I am currently running Andromadus b4 and am considering switching back because of the data drop-out issue. I have tried 5 different radio versions now.
It must be the ROM. Perhaps it encounters some data it can't make sense of and crashes. Perhaps it just needs to restart itself when this happens. A simple mobile data off, mobile data on fixes it almost every time.
I also find the bars reading incorrect. I be driving down the road with my screen on and the charger plugged in, and it will show me full bars. I can pull over and park for a few minutes, bars still full. Then suddenly half bars, no bars. This behavior is from a device that isn't being physically surrounded / shielded and is stationary.
Anyways, my G2 is getting old and it needs a another core to keep up with the way I now use it. I will wait for Jelly Bean but will likely switch to IOS.
Reasons If You Care
The menu button disaster is a big one for me. Also the lack of quick updates from Google for Nexus S and Nexus One. These devices should have had OS updates released on the same day the Galaxy Nexus was released.
ICS should have been backwards compatible for older devices as well. A few #ifdef in the code for fancy screen rendering and such. Big, huge fail!
Google, also, should have required no physical menu button for access to Google apps to enforce the new way. With only like 7% ICS market share no wonder app devs write for GB.
Google's handling of Android updates has opened my eyes.

The issue isn't ICS. The issue is the vendors haven't released proper drivers for ICS. What we're dealing with is code we've hacked up to make things work. If the vendors released ICS source code for our devices things would be much more stable.
We're always working within our means. It's not Android/Google's fault and it's not an ICS issue, it's just circumstance.

Thanks
I realize where most of the issues lie. I am an EE grad so I can imagine how difficult hacking ROMs together without device drivers might be.
Writing ASM for a microproc with the datasheets is bad enough. Without knowing what each control register is for and what each bit controls, it is a guessing game at best. I get that.
I very much do appreciate your work. As you are aware, from reading my post, I run a ROM you contribute to. Thank you. You have prolonged the life / pleasure balance I require from my smartphone.
I would contribute more to the development, but my post count was less than 10. I was actually working towards my 10 posts today to post in the dev forums. (The Andromadus beta 4 thread to be more precise).

Drop by #g2ics on freenode if you're interested

I have the same issues, G2 on Wind as well. I've had some ROMs where it never occured, but then they had some kind of bug that left me unhappy. I'm currently on CM 7.2 RC1, and I keep a "data" toggle in my notification bar. When it drops I toggle it off and on and it connects again pretty quickly. Until about twelve months ago, MMS was unreliable, but I don't seem to have problems with that anymore.
In general I'm not happy with Android, but as the alternatives are all utterly closed systems I guess I'm stuck with it. It would be unbearable if it weren't for the hard work of all the developers around this forum. Thanks, developers

Agreed. Google has been a huge let down for me as well. Updates are slow or non existent in Canada (even on Nexus devices). Look at the percentage of devices that run ICS. JB is what ICS was supposed to be. I may get an iPhone for work. I am excited to compare it to my Samsung S3 on CM10.

WiFi..Problematic

It's time I've brought this to light, I can't be the only one?
WiFi, its problematic. Here's the thing -
- WiFi drops when : 40, 50, 60 minutes pass.
- Why? Reasons unknown, I've been told many things with no real answers.
A.) Go into WiFi > Advanced > Sleep Policy : Never.
I always set it to never, that it not the issue at all, I don't wanna hear this.
B.) It's my router, I cannot confirm this. Other devices seem to never drop WiFi so I don't know why mind does.
C.) It can be kernel related? Still cannot confirm this either, its an unknown issue.
- It only occurs on MIUI, Sense 3.5 and some other various roms.
Why? I don't know! It just happens..
- What about Sense 1.0/2.1/3.0, Cm7/9?
Works perfect, I never have WiFi drops. I don't get it..
- So it doesn't make sense? Your absolutely right. I'm damn confused, I don't understand why it works perfect on those opposed to the others.
What can I do? I've relentlessly caught them on logcats and no one answers me. I plan on catching it on screencast shortly and showing a video.
------------------------------------
Please if anyone knows or has these issues I'd like to know.
I want to get rid of this issue.
Other things odd about my phone -
A.) MIUI WiFi never dropped and possibly Sense 3.5.
B.) MIUI and Cm7 seem to act weird on my phone recently, will freeze or get real sluggish.
Thanks..
Edit: I captured it dropping, it happens exactly every 59 minutes.
Skip to 3:07 to see it drop and my phone information.

Sorry, I wish I knew what was going on. I've seen wifi disconnect before for me but only on screen off so I didn't think much of it but I've never seen it disconnect when awake like that. Just curious if it happens on different wifi networks.

Unfortunately yes, not really sure what the issue is. Its like I'm the only person who has ever encountered this odd issue.
Since you've seen most of my information can I ask if you think this might be a wifi driver error? I honestly don't think it is because on the roms I mentioned I never lose wifi.
God I'm just so frustrated on this. It doesn't make sense, pulling my hair lol.

Did you make sure wifi sleep is set to never in the ROM? Also I can try testing it but I might have to find a recovery that supports EMMC backups if any do (gave my 16gig sd card to my friend who needed it more).
I don't think it's a driver or kernel issue or it'd occur across multiple ROMs and more would be affected.

You mean in advance right? Always, one of the first things I do. If there is another sleep thing then I definitely wanna know about lol..
Did you not save any roms to emmc? 5.0.2.0 cwm uses internal memory to flash. I keep at least 7 roms in emmc and test versions on SD.

No I didn't. I didn't even know CWM supported it. Amon_ra does and it seems to be quicker too maybe. Good suggestion! Lol. I'm testing the ROM in your video but may not be able to re-create it as I don't really have time. Know any apps to test for wifi drops. I'm hoping to be able to check both kernel logs and logcat. If you want to dump the kernel log after a wifi drop do
adb shell dmesg > klog.txt
with adb. It actually dumps the current contents of /proc/kmsg which is the current kernel log and actually ongoing so it's ever updating.

Mm.. can't do anything that requires a computer. I only have the Droid Incredible, my computer died a bit after I rooted my phone.
I'm currently on Nightlie ICS, I can try getting a log at again if you want but anything computer related can't do.
For some reason I feel I'm the only person with this issue, I've searched Google low and high but people had other wifi issues unrelated to mine.
Just had a thought though.. I don't know much about the hardware but you think the way some of these devs made the rom mess with my wifi driver?
I honestly don't expect an answer or find for this issue but at least get it recognized.

Not likely, I don't think anyone did wifi tweaks and it works for most people which is what's weird.
But to get the log I'm requesting you can go a similar route with terminal emulator commands:
dmesg > /sdcard/klog.txt and link it
Precede dmesg with busybox if it doesn't recognize the command on your rom, so
busybox dmesg > /sdcard/klog.txt
Does clutch have this issue (based on warm so I expect so) or Nil's 3.5 ROM maybe?

Every sense 3.5 and MIUI, I think Pons Cm7.2 did too but I'm unsure.
So in TE - I type -
dmesg/sdcard/log.txt? I've never really got a log like this and I learned about logcat my own. Hate asking nooby questions.
Edit : got it to work on ics, looked at it but should I type that in after the wifi drop or during?

You aren't the only one its likely a large majority of users upgraded phones. I've never run into the issue but I recall people on Nils BGS roms (primary Sense 3.5 rom I used) had this issue. I know I read about the issue in other threads but nobody could resolve it since all the usual methods fail. You may be a minority but this has been an issue for some since last summer. I would say most upgraded by now so you only appear to be alone.

You sure snoop? My wifi deal is odd.. well at least I wasn't alone I suppose till now.
Anyway
- http://db.tt/ZF9c10Wb ← Klog1
- http://db.tt/P8VA9Ngw ← Klog2
Klog1 captured during the wifi drop
Klog2 captured after wifi drop
Both say something about wlan and I saw a lot of disconnect and sleep something.
Edit: Every time I Google my issue it was me I found complaining about the issue lol.

If you search "wifi" in Nils Business GingerSense 3.5 thread you will see there are seven pages of results. Page two results the most recent reports were from Halloween where people report the issue.
At post #1619, one user mentioned using an app called "Wifi Static" resolved their issue. Another mentions that setting their router to static ip connection resolved it.

Okay I do see it, what they sounds like it. So ..does it automatically assign a static IP? Not sure how to work the app, probably will read the about or FAQ.
Let me reflash a 3.5 rom real quick and try this.
As long as it works.. but what's odd is its only MIUI and sense 3.5.
Don't have this issue with OG GB or Cm7 GB, even unofficial ics.
From what I read they are saying it doesn't connect right between routers and phone? But how can it be so many routers? Its gotta be deeper than that.

Idk man, it's been one of the most difficult to identify since it only affected a few people on the Inc. The only thing I could manage to guess is something in those roms doesn't configure correctly with certain routers. No one ever asked "which router do you have?" so that could be why it went unsolved for so long.

I don't know anything about Static ip connections or anything involved with changing wifi settings. This may help detail the different settings:

Checked the kernel logs and wifi is definitely dropping but no errors. I just wanted to reassure you that I did look at what I asked you to get me. Snoop may be on to something with his suggestion though.

Yeah I think I got a static IP down pat.
Thank you for looking, guess HTC's GB just doesn't like most routers.
As of right now before I tried mod systemui white, it put my phone in a loop. It hasn't seemed to drop wifi.
Thanks snoop for the suggestions, definitely seemed to work.

Is Samsung EVER going to fix Wi-Fi disconnect issue???

Is Samsung EVER going to fix Wi-Fi disconnect issue??? My phone goes to sleep, on wake up my wifi will not reconnect until i turn it off/on. That's BS. This issue has been ever since ICS update came out.

Have you even bothered to troubleshoot your own issue? Obviously since wifi works fine for almost everyone including me it's something with your setup. What do you have your wifi sleep mode set to? Try changing your frequency mode to just 2.4. Have you tried any different networks?

It's a known bug to some. I had a thread about this issue I believe. It had left for a few builds and then reappeared to some on the FI25 build. At one point we narrowed it down to a certain routers but no real evidence. It doesn't matter what your settings are in, even if you keep your settings on "keep awake always". The WiFi just stays as if connected but really isn't. It'll show greyed out bars or not active. I gave up and ignore it.

Laughing at some of you comments here. YES, I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING. Different routers, all kinds of wifi settings, even used a root explorer to change some wifi settings. Still issues. I am ignoring it now and was hoping for a fix and it's pissing me off. Looks like it may be a hardware issue on some phones

What exactly should I be looking for in my router settings? Btw, wifi still disconnects on Parandroid JB...wtf. Everything worked fine on GB.

I still have the issue where wifi just sucks down my battery worse than 3G when it idles, but the phone gets plenty of deep sleep. It's happened across roms, fresh wipes and only on ICS and never on any gingerbread setups I've used. I've tried 3 different routers, on different frequencies. I've spent countless hours combing through battery and cpu monitors. My final verdict is that ICS was for the most part a total **** show for this phone, and it's only usable because of the selfless devs who devote their free time to tweaks and builds that get the best they can out of it.
Sorry op, but in my anecdotal example, there is no answer for particular wifi problems on ICS with this phone.

I just sure hope that the official JB rom for this phone will fix my wifi issues. It's weird, but some users have no issues with wifi and some do. I wonder if hardware is different.

What channel and encryption type are you using (for your main connection)? Also what brands of routers have you tried it on. I don't think it is you, but I am just curious.
I use to use Linksys routers, but the last 2 I had were turds different models, and sent them in for RMA to verify the unit wasn't just a bad unit, now I won't use ANY Cisco product unless I have to (after the routers overheating in the middle of winter in my basement with proper ventilation and sending them back a few times, and their new 'secure' firmware that only allows you to connect via their website back into my local router).

lol don't listen to these people telling you to check the router settings...
It is a bug in ICS (most roms i have tried), i suggest downloading an app called Wi-fi keep alive.

weird thing is this bug only occured on my office wi-fi (Linksys WAP54G). No problem occured when I use wi-fi at my home.

I've been building for a few weeks now, all running pretty smoothly on the AT&T variant. Hit me up if you guys find any issues with the Sprint build. I don't have one myself, so I am unable to test.Official CM based, so e975 kernel.
Check it out here: http://codefirex.com/index.php?p=/discussion/258/rom-ls970-4-3-cfx-toolchain-4-8-y-codefirexperiment-nightlies

The good news: Data and GPS seem to work right off the bat, across reboots.
The bad news: It seems that I can't send texts. Also, the signal icon in the statusbar never shows any bars (though it does show the 3G icon). It appears as if I have a dead signal 100% of the time, even though I'm able to browse the internet (albeit very slowly) and make calls.

Thanks for your work!

I got an MMS but no SMS would go through.
But I love AOSP mode

I have weird connection problems with this ROM as well. It always boots up with the wrong phone number so I can't use any cell radio related functions. I sent some logs to Synergye but not sure if they helped.

I'll take a look at the issue this week / weekend. It's probably some stupid mistake, and I should have it fixed soon, I am just not familiar with CDMA at all yet, and don't have a device to test with myself.

Out of curiosity, I just compared sources between CM and cfXe and not really sure what I was looking for, I removed one line from the cfXe sources, built it, and boom, everything is now working:
device/lge/ls970-common/ls970-common.mk
remove line 187, ro.telephony.ril_class=LgeLteRIL \
I'm not entirely sure of the consequences, but I was getting 3G and 4G, and SMS and MMS were sending both over 3G and Wifi. Also, I noticed a dead touch area on the screen, not sure if it is my device only, but the easiest way to get there is to go to settings, and then try to click on bluetooth.
edit: looks like I have a busted digitizer

Anyone mind testing out this build? It looks like it is not quite there from my side, but I figured I may as well have someone test it out to be sure. The issue is that it is using the GSM ril instead of the ls970 specific CDMA ril. If this does not work, I should be able to get another one out real soon that does fix the issue.

Eh, I'll do it. I got nothing better to do. Brb.
EDIT: the link is messed up, as you wrote it....there's an extra http://. Just thought I'd let you know. But i'm downloading now.
EDIT2: god f****** damn the new TWRP, giving me the option to wipe internal storage.... I knew this would happen eventually. Ughhhhhhh.

First things first. Upon initial setup, the first thing that it asks you to do is to insert the device's SIM card. Obviously that doesn't apply to us CDMA folks. It allows you to skip this step, so I did. after a few seconds the phone connected to sprint and 3G data appears to be working. Signal bars are working. I was able to sign in to my google account. I haven't rebooted because I can't test much right now, but the basics seem to be working on initial boot. Can't test GPS right now. Also can't test SMS right now, apologies.

Testing this build out myself since I also have nothing to do. So far, everything is extremely fast, fluid, and stable! Have working data and everything (But then again, I'm one of the few lucky ones who never had any problems with data ). Gonna test out MMS soon. Only real problem I have with 4.3 AOSP ROMs really is the SMS issue where texts don't send over 160 characters. But I flashed the 4.2.2 messaging apparently, which usually fixes that. So far so good, though! I'm really digging it.

From what I can tell, that "fixed" data, but is still not quite correct. It is most likely just using a generic ril, and not the CDMA RIL that it is supposed to. I am going to do another test build real quick here, then hopefully push the fix before the next nightlies run.
EDIT:
Can someone test out this real quick? I am almost positive this should fix the issue, but I just want to be sure before I push.

Keep getting telephony force close immediately upon booting. I think it was this commit that broke it:

I just realized that I was comparing the wrong cm branch. Thanks for pointing that out.
Anyway, the next nightly (10/21) should have it fixed. Commit is here, for anyone interested.

Cool, was going to just test with manual adjustment, but I'll sync and compile now to test it out. I'll report back.

so are you guys going to be maintaining the device tree?

I will be. I am the official maintainer of the AT&T and Sprint LGOG for CodefireXperiment.

Didn't think I had WiFi issues until today.

So myself and the wife are at Applebee's. She gets on WiFi no issues and I can't. See below screen shots. I even rebooted my device to no avail. Mine was always unstable and would drop. Hers was solid see.pics below. Mines the N900T and hers is the N900A. Both using Att sim cards.
I'm thinking Samsung used different chip sets sources for their wifi.
Sent from my SM-N900T

Doubtful that they used different chipsets. So you are both on stock roms, or have you been flashing stuff on yours?

Have you already factory reset your phone? A lot of people have had minor issues and flashing stock firmware or factory reset has helped some issues.

Me too I hate it... That and the range my phone has is terrible

Sitting by pool, about 60ft and 3 walls from the access point. SSID name is "Disconnected" (really messes with the neighbors). Access point is well sitted, up high in my home office fairly new with current firmware..
You can see the 5Ghz version of the AP in the list as well.

You might have to go back to factory rom, or turn your wifi off and disable always scanning. It may be trying to find a better network.

My range is very respectable. But unfortunately today I discovered this issue. It would very slowly connect then disconnect even quicker. Two stock phones on same WiFi in my neighborhood grill lol.

Unfortunately, i think its just the hardware. Your phone might have two antennas and if you find your correct kernel, you could change it to run off the best antenna possible. might take some testing and such. if all else fails go to your service provider for a evaluation

Thanks for taking the time to look into this. I never really had WiFi issues before until today in the restaurant. If it wasn't for my wife having the same phone I would have addsumed it was the stores router.

Your quite welcome, always glad to help. My old Galaxy would malfunction the same way sometimes. Sometimes between my router and the neighbors and Other times on random hotspots. Sometimes you may have to go in the browser and accept a terms of use. If you figure out the problem, send me a pm.
Cheers - Colgan

Yes, correct. Once after connecfting to the Wifi Router I need to launch the stock Samsung browser to accept their terms and conditions, this process in itself takes about 5 mins or hangs proir to terms and conditions screen it boots me off the WiFi and says its unstable or too slow per my original post.

Its just that theres too many people on the network, Thats the only issue. It mainly does this on public networks. So it is not a phone problem its a client network problem :thumbup:

I had this briefly on my home WiFi. Wasnt a client network as I allow 10 objects to be on mine. Its water under the bridge but that is a possibility on a public network.

I had this problem in spades.
It has nothing to do with a public hotspot or router.
I'm not entirely sure it's not on some type of pattern yet, like 7 or 8 days.
I'll bet you that if you had powered off your phone for a few minutes and turned it back on, the problem would have been gone.
I am pretty sure this is something going on with the Radios in these phones.
Everytime mine gets flaky it usually resolves with a power down for a few minutes.
The other problem I've seen is that if I shut down wifi a number of times in a row because I want to use Mobile data, it will then start not staying connected when I want to use it.
I have to power off and power on and re enter the WPA2 password.
After seeing another thread with some other strange issues, I'm convinced there is a HW or SW issue related to the wifi radio.
I have seen the message exactly like you have here on a AP at my house that only has 2 clients on it and performs flawlessly.
It wouldn't connect to attwifi at Sam's yesterday for some reason.
This is one of the reasons I won't ROM it yet either. I'm still not convinced that it might not go home to the mothership at some point.
