Wifi calling issues - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Anyone else having wifi and wifi calling issues with connection on darkside rom v7
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

I've been running darkside v7 for last few days and have not experienced any issues. What issues are you having?

Cant seem to get full wifi when im a room away from the router and wifi calling rarely pops out and this happens in different locations with different routers

I've had wifi calling disconnects occur at my office occasionally with other roms and typically disabling / re-enabling wifi calling would correct this problem. Sometimes a reboot would also be required. Were you previously using another ICS rom that was working for you? Assuming you've tried the aforementioned steps, I would suggest verifying that the rom download is good and then reflash the rom after a darkside superwipe.

I have also had that problem, I had my wireless router exchanged thinking it was just putting out crappy signal. I moved it out from under the desk where I figured that would also better the strength - but I'm one room over with thin walls and still, terrible wifi signal. Went back to GB to inspect and its great reception. Wifi calling not dropping out in the middle of phone calls now also. The only problem is I can't keep away from ICS so I'm just not using it until something gets adjusted.

(Q)Why does my wifi sometimes not work? Now not working at all

Sometimes my wifi will say its connected and i know the router is working fine but anytime i use the browser or the xda app or the market or anything that uses data it will not work and it times out. If i switch to 3g then it usually will work fine. But sometimes when i switch over to 3g that does not work either this has only happened a couple of times with 3g not working. But wifi goes out every other day for a hour or so and reboots and clearing cache and dalvic does nothing
Edit: ok I have a problem my wifi is toast it will not work. Tried connecting to three different routers and nothing. Anyone have any pointers?
Bump.... anyone able to help me???

what rom are you using?
did you try a different one?
Is wifi sleep set to never
The newest calkulin v2.8.1 and it is set to never

I assume you have rebooted your router first, then tried to reset up the phone after the router rebooted; have you confirmed your router is sending out wifi signals via trying it with another device?
are you using 2.4 ghz wireless phones in your house?
that will interfere with wifi signals
did you ensure your router security settings and your phone security settings are identical?
yup did all that and no I don't have any wireless phones. It was working perfectly the other day. I have tried 3 different wifi conections with the same result. The wifi acts and looks like its connected and working but can not use any data it times out or says cannot display page.

Tried different kernel?
Flash Calkulin's format all twice and reflash ROM.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
are you on the stock kernel?
overclocked, or underclocked?
change any of the battery or clock speed settings, or is everything stock?
Ok I will try format all. Do you happen to have a link?
Im on the stock kernel that comes with the calkulin 2.8.1 I have not done any thing else but flash that rom. So maybE I should try a new kernel? Anyone have any suggestions?

[Q] Can't receive MMS while on WiFi

Just like the title says. I'm using Wicked's V.5 with UVLI8. I've looked at other threads with other devices and I've seen no resolution.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

have you ever been able too? b'c on past phones while on wifi the mobile network would kick in to let the mms go Thru or come in then go back to wifi when it was done
Check if wifi calling is on. If it is turn it off and it should work.

Seems like a work-around. I'll test, but still, it's a pain to have to turn wi-fi calling off and on to receive a MMS. Why wouldn't I just turn of wi-fi for the moment till the MMS comes thru?
You can do that too. But for many its good enough to be a fix... If you're like me and don't use wifi calling.
I know it sucks, but at least you'll know what's causing it. Maybe if enough people complain they'll fix it.
I've heard some 3rd party apps allow mms to send over wifi and therefore will work with wifi calling.
Tmobile only allows mms to send over data connection.

Are you sure? I get pix all the time at home and I'm showing 100% without signal. 0 bars but still the triangle. This is with Wi-Fi calling always on. Stock and xquizit.
Sometimes I do get the "data roaming" lost connection bs and lose Wi-Fi calling.

Well, I was sure until I read your post! :what: lol
I guess it could very well be that it was fixed with UVALH2 and i forgot. Maybe I just need to go to sleep!
Ive forgotten more than I'll ever know!

Similar thing happens to me. Wifi get stuck or conflict with Data signal.
I always turn Network Data off 1st, then turn WiFi on - once WiFi fully loaded => turn data on. That way it prevent wifi conflict. Works for me.

You might be partially right lol. There was a thread about turning mobile data off and that killed MMS over WiFi. All I know is that I'm able to send and receive MMS at home and I have no cell signal. There's no way the MMS are going through the cell tower. Technically speaking I do have some sort of signal. Even though it says no signal it's a blank triangle and not the circle with a line through it. It's enough to register with the network I guess...
I think I need sleep too. Turning WiFi off gave me the no signal circle. So iono wtf.
I know this has something to do with the custom ROM I'm using (Wicked V.5). I've never seen this issue, and I've been using Androids for 2 years. Even before I flashed Wicked, I had no issues on the same device on the same WiFi network.
Xquizit xD works fine for me.

CM10 bugs....how to downgrade to ICS

I installed the cm10 rom about 2 weeks ago. I love jelly bean and cm10 dont get me wrong but i have been noticing that i can not send picture messages when connected to 3g or wifi (i have to reboot the phone everytime i want to send a picture) also my 3g would randomly disappear (it disconnects without showing that its disconnected). I have to put the phone on airplane mode and then reconnect to 3g. Just a few days ago my s3 stopped letting me use the wifi at my job (it said trying to avoid poor signal or something like that). The wifi signal at my job is very strong and i went into the wifi settings and disable the "avoid poor signal" feature. Still it wouldnt connect but it connects to the wifi at my house. I just want to know if im the only person experiencing this. Also how would i be able to switch back to ics from jb? Is it a quick process? Can it be done str8 from my phone without using my computer? Can i do it using mobile odin? If odin is needed?

Going back to ics is as simple as wiping the normal things, then flashing a ics based rom.

So i dont have to use odin? I wont brick the phone? I have a nandroid backup of the odexed blue ics rom....would that help in anyway?

So, now that you're back on ICS, you should give CM10 another try. That build was like 2 months old. Those bugs you were talking about have been squashed. Pretty stable at this point.

CleanRom 3.5 and wifi issue

Anyone else with this rom had any issues with reconnection to wifi after restart? When i restart my phone, the wifi is turned on, but it doesn't connect till i go in and tell it to connect to my home wifi. It shows that its still a saved connection too. I experimented a little and noticed its only on the 5g band and that the 2.4g band seems to work fine.

It has been mentioned multiple times: there is a known issue with 4.2.1 based ROMs reconnecting automatically to 5Ghz bands. All of them.

Do you mean 4.1.2? Because this isn't 4.2.1.
For the OP - I haven't had any issues connecting to the WiFi on CleanRom 3.5. Just did a reboot for the heck of it and it obtained an IP right away and worked flawlessly.

are you using a 5g wifi band or 2.4g?
I have the same issue on all 4.1.2 roms I've tried including stock and clean rom.
What router are you using? I have an Asus rt-n66u with custom firmware.

Static ip won't help, yes you can connect to wifi, but cannot get connection to internet. This is a bug of android, and ITs in Princeton univ. had some investigation. It's due to renew and release of address. 4.2 should have fixed it

Yes, of course. Fat fingered that. 4.1.2 has the issue.

[Q] Possible wifi issue?

Hi,
I am wondering if it is normal that wifi speeds slow down after a certain time. My wifi at home can reach up to 22 Mbps down and say in a couple hours for example it would drop to 10 Mbps. Immediately I would restart my phone and it would be back up to normal speeds of 20ish Mbps. I do multiple back to back tests on speedtest.net app and my wired connections and other wireless devices are consistent.
My wifi does not disconnect and it has no problems connecting to other souces. At work i have the same wifi issues.
I have a Canadian Rogers Note 2. I am rooted and flashed to cleamrom 4.0.5, fully wiped and reset before flash with twrp. I have tried turning off power saving mode during the slow wifi transmissions and still have this issue,
I am lost as to what to do. Any advice would be appreciated.
Yes this is for me as well I have been on clean rom and now stock and it continues to do the same not a huge deal but I just noticed it last night im on mediacom if thats any help
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
In the meantime I have installed My Data Manager to see if there is any unknown wifi data transmitting while this problem is happening. When I had the phone bone stock I really did not monitor this issue.
I use the international rom and I notice YouTube buffers longer than it should than it chops shortly after. I just tried recycling wifi and now it's snappy again.question now is how long it will last

I notice link speed drops to about 5mb when directly infront of AP
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
I have been playing with this issue for a few days now. I can sort of recreate this by leaving the wifi range and entering. This will create that speed drop I described in my first post. By turning on and off the wifi toggle resolves this.
While using My Data Manager it shows no mystery wifi or data transfer in the backgound. Everything checks out in that aspect.

I did not notice a drop when infront of the AP.
I'm running stock Att and started having slow wifi speed after the 4.1.2 update. Toggling the wifi fixes the issue but it slows down again eventually.

yeah this blows. I don't know where the fault is. Running cleanrom 4.0.5 with its kernal. I don't believe I have really modified anything other than flashing the rom and a few zips here or there.
Normally it isn't a big deal but it really seemed to cause issues when syncing for the first time with dropbox yesterday. I had to keep restarting wifi. I think part of that was dropbox but 4 gb took literally hours to get done
I don't know if it happens on cleanrom 4.2.5

I am on CleanROM 4.5 right now and it behaves the same way. I did read on another thread that there is a possible fix by replacing the 'wifi' folder with the one from Android 4.1.1.
Here is the whole thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956155&highlight=wifi+problem
I have performed the suggested fix and will monitor the issue when I go about my daily routines.
Any new info on whether your idea worked? I'm experiencing the same thing you guys are.
