Hello there,
I've been having this issue with the 4g/wimax feature for a long time and I'm not too sure if it's just me or anyone else, but perhaps someone can help me. When I'm using a sense rom (evo classic, synergy, etc), my 4g seems to stay on without dropping. The signals are all good, even when it's on its weakest bar, I am still connected. However, every time I use evo deck 1.3 stable/1.3d, my 4g seems to drop like crazy. The signals become weak and I often find myself disconnecting online. It becomes annoying whenever I'm browsing and would have to constantly refresh.
I like sense roms and all, but I prefer aosp due to the speed and performance. I haven't tested any other aosp roms yet, but I know I like evo deck do to everything being a clean install. I would love it if someone has a 4g fix for me or can recommend me a good sense/aosp rom.
Thank you.
Same issues here with the same ROMs actually. Would love to see an answer. Thanks.

Unfortunately, its the AOSP kernels. There's nothing you could do other than go back to a sense rom.
Its the exact same reason why data transfer via USB cable to the sdcard is sooooo slow.
I had the same dilemma and ultimately, I hate sense I rather deal with these two main issues.

There's a fix for it if you look around it involves editing a few files to change the scan and disconnect intervals which allows it to scan faster + take longer to disconnect so it drops less. Basically it will refresh itself in the background for you

Ah I guess ill switch back to sense.
And I already have that tweak where I can edit the wimax values and 3g values. Still same thing. I guess its the aosp kernal.

I used to have cm6. When rc1 came out I had a lot of issues. Generally I liked cm6 and still recommend it. It was fast and my videos played flawlessly. I wanted 4g on my phone so I devise to switch roms. I tried a few different roms and they were great except one problem. My video were really laggy. Right now I am using Myn's Warm RLS 3 Rom and netarchy' recent stable cfs kernel also the most recent Wimax radio.
When I watch videos on rockplayer the videos are baggy like low fps. Also when I use ATK in cm6 it says i have 400M available even when u have 4 apps running but on these other roms I'm only getting 200-150M when having nothing running.
Also on all the roms I try I when I turn 4g on all it says is scanning. I live in Boston. Shouldn't there be 4g available? I upgraded to the newest wimax radio and its drill not connecting. Please help.

The video lag has been complained about a few times. The solution is cm6 or nothing, I think. You were getting much higher than you are now because htc sense, which is completely nonexistent in cm6, takes up a huge amount of memory. That is why a bunch of people don't like it. I personally love sense widgets, but hate the rest. The 4g issue: 4g is like AT&T service, spotty and incomplete. Bars can vary greatly by feet, and the 4g area is highly undeveloped. Try different areas where you know there is 4g. Or flash back to stock (or go extreme and unroot) and then try it. Good luck

Saw this on the "wireless tether" homepage, so i just copied and pasted it as it explains my problem as good is i could. I have tried different kernals, ive tried wiping.. unrooting rerooting etc... and it happens on all tether apps including the stock one. It starts happening after it gets over 35 degrees Celsius. :/
Currently using MIUI rom, however does it on all of them including stock unrooted one.
Anyone know how to fix? Its quiet annoying! :/
Which device (manufacturer, type)?
HTC Incredible
Which firmware is installed?
2.2
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.turn on
2.connects
3.works for about 5 minutes
What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Works really good for the first 5-10 minutes then stops and 3G symbol will disappear and reappear along with 3G service
I remember seeing the same issue, but I don't recall seeing it since flashing skyraider vanilla.
The last ROM I used was virtuous.
I don't use tether very often, but I can pay attention to the 3g and temps when I do.
Do you see interruption in your connection on the connected device(s)?

It usually only takes 20-30 mb download to heat it up to the point it starting flickering on and off. But no, it doesn't interrupt if its wired tether, only wireless...
veeeerry annoying as I like to have it for college.
what verison of Wireless Tether are you using. I know that I had the same problem for two reasons, 1. there are at least two verisons that I know of that have a problem. I had the same trouble. 2. You might have a the 3G Drop problem.
I've had this happen in MIUI 0.11.26 as well as CM 6.0.2 on my AMOLED Inc.
For me its not a temp problem but rather a heavy data traffic problem. It only seems to do it when I'm intensely viewing multiple webpages with flash or videos.
Only fix for me is reboot.

I just tried connecting to my Wifi at work...and I have really low signal...meanwhile, my Nook Color has full bars...anyone else having this problem? Was running CM7RC4 updated to CM7 Final...still same thing...
Yeah, I've noticed the same thing while running CM7. I was on stock Sense before and was getting really strong Wi-Fi signals. Then after going through CM7 nightlies, RC's, and now I'm on CM7 Final I am still getting quite weak signal strength.
Now the trade off is that I get much better battery life from CM7 than from Sense. So I'm okay with it...
Really? No one else?
I've been *****ing about this and no one responds to me like I'm crazy. Cm7 has weak wifi as compared to sense. It seems to even get weaker when I'm holding it with my left hand. When I hold with my right hand it boost right back up. This has been a problem since cm6 but like I said people think I'm *****ing; I know they're aware of this but I guess they can't explain why sense has better wifi reception/performance.
~ d3rk
Yeah...I get the same thing man...but it's weird...my Nook Color running CM7 doesn't do it...
I switch back and forth from MIUI to MikFroyo pretty often. Although WiFi and 3G show stronger signals in Sense, the actual performance/reception is the same. I think AOSP signal strength indicators are more true to life...and Sense pads the numbers. Download Real Signal and test it...dBs are the same no matter what ROM you're on.
My Wifi Drops
I've noticed a similar issue, the AOSP ROMs do have a sightly different number of "bars" for 2g/3g/voice, and I can still make and receive calls when it says I have service.
But my wifi (as many others) does seem to suffer, I actually lose connection some places in my house, where previously running a Sense ROM I did not. Happens at work as well. I did read in another thread other people confirming that the wifi drivers in AOSP are not as good as the sense ones, in addition the GPS drivers seem to have issues as well. No one seems to know why yet, just that it happens. I haven't confirmed dBm levels between the two, but I will probably do that tonight.

I don't have a link because I used ROM Manager to download it. ROM Manager is nice and I am pretty sure you can download this patch with the free version.

How do you get them to use/say 3g instead of 1x? Sorry if this is a noob question.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Most likely, you're just not able to get a 3G signal at that particular location and time. Now, you may be thinking that the stock ROM (or older custom sense ROMs) tells you that you were getting 3G in that same spot before. The stock ROM doesn't properly show 1X though...it was lying and saying 3G even when it had fallen back to 1X. Newer custom Sense roms generally have fixed this, but if you were using one that isn't fixed before, it may seem like AOSP roms are not holding a 3G signal like the Sense ROM did. That might not be the case.
It never changes though no matter how I use it or where I am. I went to a different state and it wasnt showing any change:/

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.
