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.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk 2
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:

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.

I'd like to know if it's safe to start breaking into it. I know rooting won't hurt it, but what about custom ROMs, or even updating to Gingerbread? I don't want to mess up the current settings that have been applied for the phone to work on nTelos.

Ok...got another question. I keep randomly getting the "Error 67: Registration error. Your Sprint data service username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again"
Since I'm not on a Sprint plan, is there an apk or file I can delete to get rid of this thing? It's driving me freakin' insane!
Also, I was flipping through the phone and found this: W_RF_AUTH. What the hell is it? The permissions on it are sketchy as hell, do not want. OK to delete???
Ususal rule of thumb, if you don't know what it is don't delete it... freeze it with titanium backup and if strange things begin to happen then unfreeze... iif not its probably safe to delete...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I FC'd it and nothing has happened so far. Can't freeze with free version. I can't seem to find where it's stored on my device either. Root explorer searched every directory in my phone and nothing. I think I'm gonna back my phone up and use TB to uninstall it...if it causes any undesired effects I'll revert to my backup.

Have you googled anything to get rid of it? What is error 67 anyways?
For error 67, and this applies to most sprint phones that use Vision, Powervision, EVDO, Etc. Error 67 indicates that the username or password stored in your phone is incorrect. this condition is very rarely related to the coverage in an area, usually occurs after recent device swap, or attempting to use modem/hotspot while your account does not have a valid modem/hotspot plan.
Before going through too much effort, you should power your phone off, then back on, update your profile (this varies by model support.sprint.com has guides for most phones) and determine that the feature that you are attempting to use should work ( for example to use hotspot, you must be subscribed to hotspot. to use phone's web browser the web service should not be blocked, Etc.) if you still have trouble with error 67 after following this information please feel free to send me a private message.
When I odined el30 I don't think I had you flash the latest el30 modem delta so flash this : http://db.tt/oL0nSl3s
Then do the profile update as well as the prl update and reboot and see if your phone stops displaying the error 67

What is wrong with Exchange? I sync to my work exchange server just fine.
I'm not sure if it's just the ROM or ICS but on both AOKP and CM9 I've had it happen that if I'm in a area with very poor signal, it'll go to airplane mode on it's own. The plane doesn't show in the status bar when it happens so I'll have to check it often to make sure it isn't on since the signal bars obviously have their own bug as well.

You can GPS to work by flashing back to GB, get lock, then flash back. But it is still a little wonky and doesn't work out of the box so on the list it goes.

FC07 GPS worked out of the box fine for me and many people for the first time. I have a feeling some of the people without GPS didnt do full reset or are on the list of people with hardware defects. Seems to still not be working for other people that have a clue so its hard to say.
FC07 still does have GPS related issues like it wont stop searching for a lock if it begins and you end up in an area that GPS would never work in the first place. So its still valid that there are GPS issues for sure.

+1, i haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary with exchange
Sound notifications, especially sms stops randomly.
A reboot then fixes it.
Strange
From what I've gathered from a variety of threads, the Exchange issue depends on the version of Exchange and relates to the Exchange function that allows it to remotely manage your device.
Those of us on newer versions of Exchange (I'm on 2010) can't sync calendar or contacts on ANY of the Samsung ICS leaks. I have to replace the email and exchange apks with AOSP to get it to work. Otherwise I'm SOL.
So to be clear, there is DEFINITELY an Exchange problem, even if you're not experiencing it. But it's apparently specific to certain setups, and enough of us on this board have that setup that it's a serious problem.

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. I'm not eligible to upgrade till July next year..kinda want to check out that LG Optimus..but at the same time want to see what GS4 (whenever it comes out) will have to offer

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.

i'll try that as my phone got this bug also.
I didn't happen in FH13 Stock rom, but when i upgrade to FI27 this bug is starting out!
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 heard if you stand on your head while doing the macarena your wifi won't disconnect. :thumbup:

Ya the app seems to work, most of the time...Just make sure you launch it after a reboot? - Good enough for me though, also i have all the work arounds checked in advance settings, didn't have the patience to experiment.
Hey everyone, got another official rom for you guys.
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 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.

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.

I will be. I am the official maintainer of the AT&T and Sprint LGOG for CodefireXperiment.
It appears that my wifi is very unstable. After transfering around 250mb, my connection stops working. Usually the connection requires me to cycle wifi in order to get it working once more.
I initialy thought that the issue could be fixed in the tmobile software update, but that was not the case. The issue persists after the update that took place last night.
Are any of you experiancing this? Any thoughts on how to resolve? I have setup a warranty replacement but id rather just send that back and keep my already setup device.

well i guess my search skills are lacking compared to yours. There is 1 post that is in the troubleshooting section that is titled with a [fix] tag. but that is not really a fix. it is simply a workaround by not using the 5ghz band. this makes it so that i cannot use my ac connection.
but since you are so much more in the know and your search skills are far better than mine. can you please point me to the threads about this issue?

i suggest you stop assuming anything and search yourself. Also stop being a ****, its unnecessary. But i am sure it helps you feel so much more knowledgeable and better to post a "lrn 2 search" reply.
my guess is that you seen wifi blah blah blah and were like "this is the same as wifi calling not working or wifi turning off after the screen turns off" or some other basic issue.
but hey you know, here is a great search http://bfy.tw/J57

I've been having the same issue. It seems to be primarily in the 5ghz band. One suggestion I saw that seems to have helped is doing a factory reset.

Another thread mentioned FRs don't fix some issues and I have issues on 2.4 so it seems different for all.
Sent from my G4 using your mom
I don't see how this thread is redundant, there's no need to police the forums.
OP's issue is something I've had - a factory reset, TheClefSLC, seemed to do something productive, though I still get drops when data is being transferred on a moderately large scale. As of now I think we'll have to either wait for a software/firmware update or, once the device is unlocked, experiment with ROM modifications...

I'm returning mine tomorrow.. this is unacceptable. Wifi just stops working.
I have 5ghz off on my router, so it is doing it on 2.4 too.
Try changing the channel on the router. I had about 8-10 instances over 24 hours where the phone just stopped transmitting data with the router. I had to toggle Wi-Fi to fix it. I changed the channel on my router and haven't had an issue in 48 hours or so now. Seems to have worked.

I think that this may just be the fix to our WiFi problems. I put my 2.4Ghz on channel 6 and my 5Ghz on 40. Seems to have done the trick, and my speeds seem faster on the 5Ghz on channel 40. well see how it goes over the next few days.

Well, it seems to put a band aid on the problem. It works fine for a little while, maybe a few hours. But after that the problems return. At least they did for me
I just tried the 2.4:6/5:40 setting with my Asus RT-AC68U. 2.4 ran a bit faster according to the Speedtest app, but 5 ran at pretty much the same speed (both were set to auto channel select beforehand). I am going to tinker around with it some more and see if I can improve upon it.
I have noticed the same issue on both 2.5 and 5ghz. I stream music thru chromecast and frequently experience lost connections. Very annoying. I hope this is an issue that is addressed soon in an update.
