Evo 4g wifi won't connect. - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I'm using a EVO 4g with the Energy rom with Underworld kernel the problem is the wifi. It connect then disconnects right away. I've tried several fixes from here on the forum such as making sure wireless sleep policy was sent to never. I've flashed the kernel using the mount data trick and nothing works. If you guys know any fixes to help I'm willing to try. This is the first rom I really enjoy. Thanks.
Edit: Found out it wasn't just that rom. I think I saw somewhere to flash radios. Any advice?

Thus was your first rom you flashed on your phone? I was taught to update radios and wimax. Not sure where you would get that, but definitely stay in 4g threads. I'm going through the same thing I need to update mine & can't find a link...hmmm you find it let me know!

[Q] Only Getting 1g service with CyanogenMod

I just flashed Cyanogen RC2 and I am not able to get 3g. Where the 3g should be there is only a "1x". The data works but is incredibly slow, I asked a friend and he said that I might need to flash the new radio. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks a bunch
What is your current radio?? When you flashed CM it comes with current one..

Are you in an area with a bad signal? At work when I'm not near a window my connection will sometimes drop to that level.
No I have full service and I did a speed test and I got 1 KB/s dload speed

I've had that happen and what I did was luck mobile data off, wait a bit, then enable it again.

This was happening to me to, on every rom. The other phone on my account was faster to...odd. So I called Sprint and they "refreshed my data services". Flawless now. Now its says 3g instead of 1x. Stoked

is there any risk involved in this? eg. can they tell I'm rooted/running a custom rom? sorry I'm kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff.
Also when I go to wireless settings there is no option for mobile data

Well don't mention it to them make sure you have a rom that has the option to update your prl, and profile. Because they'll want you to do it. Fare warning, they'll want you to update the firmware. I just went with it, but it didn't go through. It said "there is no system update". So it all worked out.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
This has been happening to me, too. I tried different radios, prl, etc.. with no changes. I even went back to a rooted 3.26 rom and let the phone update the firmware and everything it wanted to with no change in signal. The Sprint tech said everything looked fine on his end after having me update profile, prl, check for software and firmware upgrades. I can't remember what he called it but basically he reactivated my phone as a last step.
CM and mobile signal widget show 1x and when I go to ##debug# (on sense) and check EVDO engineering every field shows <failed>
When I get time I am going to go to Best Buy and hope their insurance works well.
That's weird because when I go to another rom like fresh my 3g works fine its just on cyanogen that my phone has this hiccup

Wifi stopped working. Suggestions?

Recently I've noticed my wifi doesn't connect to any of my normal networks. When I check my wireless setttings, it'll say "connecting" but not to any specific network. Then just says disconnected. Finally, it'll say out of range for all my networks. I haven't done anything major with my phone, just small things like downloaded GO Launcher and played with icons and themes. Any ideas on what I can try or what it might be? Thanks.

I'm currently using the Tiamat-sbc kernel. But I'm pretty sure I haven't touched that kernel because it was working fine a while back. As for the router, it can't be a router problem. I have issues connecting to other networks as well. Should I clear my delvik cache?

I am having this very same problem. For the longest time I was sharing my internet connection from my iMac(mac acts as hot spot). But recently purchased a real wireless router. The problem is my phone connects for awhile then it quits working, it shows its still connected. But doesn't work. I am running Cyanogen mod 7 nightly latest with stock kernel. Anyone have a fix for this? I am thinking about re-flashing the radios.
Thank You
How soon does it disconnect immediately, screen off, after 5 mins, we need details in order to assist you

It is random. I could be browsing the internet and click on a link and it just sits there. Other times I could use it upwards of an hour without problems.
On the same network??? Sorry I'm just trying to help and get a gauge of the issue

The first wifi network I had it on was just my iMac acting as a hot spot and it had the problem. My new network has the same problem:
the iMac hot spot was an open network no security. The new network is WPA/WPA2 PSK.
Wired Router Cisco RVS4000
Wireless Router Cisco WRVS4400N
Modem Motorola SB6120 (same modem as last network)
I connect my phone to the wireless and open a page up it may or may not open it is completely random. My dads Nexus S 4G has no problems nor does his Kindle Fire.
please give me any details of what you need so that you can help me?
Thank You so very much for your assistance
Well I would recommend a full clean wipe everything except sdcard 3x put on a new Rom then let it settle but since I can't recreate the issue hard to say mayhaps a radio issue have you updated recently if so downgrade back to working radios

I had the same problem when I would use the CM7 nightly builds. My WIFI would work, all of a sudden, it just won't connect to any network. THEN...out of no where, it connects...a couple days later...The only way to fix is to use a stable build lol...I just remembered...try enabling airplane mode and then disable it again...

[Q] Wifi issues with new 4.67.651.3 update

Ive looked around but havent found any answers yet.
Ive been noticing with my Wifi it will switch to 3g for a minute or so and then back to Wifi. no sure whats causing this.
Is anyone else having this problem or has someone found a fix that im not aware of.
I take it you're running a sense ROM? More details would help. :X
Sent from my OG Evo 4G via XDA app. Did I mention from inside my pocket?
sense ROM yes
I was able to unlock the bootloader via HTCDEV and flashed a 4.67.651.3 DEODEXED sense ROM posted by brad560 in the DEV forum.
still looking to see if anyone is having this issue.
My dad'sphone is totally stock, and he has been complaining about the wifi not working right. I'll mess with it and let you know if I find anything out

I've been reading about the same issue over at Android Central.
According to one post if you change the WiFi settings to use a static IP but leave the fields blank the problem should go away.
I haven't upgraded my ROM yet so I have not experienced it myself.

Wifi issues for me too
I also am experiencing the wifi dropping out for a few seconds. Luckily I had a backup I could reflash, but would love to know if there's a work around or a fix in the works.
Update : By changing the DHCP lease time on my router from forever to 48 hours, I do not experience the wi-fi drop issue anymore
its a known issue with the new update
Yeah, but at least there's a work around until they can get it fixed

I've only found this to happen with Belkin Routers so far. But the work around does work.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
It was happening on my Linksys (flashed to ddwrt), but the fix for the Belkin routers worked in this case too. Haven't tried it elsewhere, such as public hotspots, but 99% of my wifi use is at home.

GPS not locking until reboot - post custom rom

So I recently installed Calkulin's custom rom v2.9.2 and now my GPS doesn't lock unless I reboot the phone.
Any fix for this? thanks.
Try GPS status app

just tried this, doesn't work on my phone.
Only thing that works is a reboot which is a hassle everytime i need a GPS lock.
anyone else w/ any suggestions? I'd hate to go back to stock ROM.
Doesn't the GPS continue to work for a few days, before requiring a reboot?
Thats the case with my phone, try different versions of the rooted rom, or radios.

This thread is an amazing source for you to spend countless hours troubleshooting this phone's POS GPS unit.
I've been trying countless things on my phone too, I'll let ya know if anything works.

THanks. upon reading a bit of that thread, I found out that through using "GPS Status" I can refresh the "A-GPS" which I didn't know previously.
This seems to work so far.
I'm running the same rom and have no problems with any of my radios, I did also install the EL29 modem when I installed the rom. You may need to try different modems, they work differently on different phones even though you're running the same roms. Also, don't forget to update profile in /settings/about phone/updates

I was originally on EL29 Stock so I'm assuming when I flashed Calks 2.9.2 the modem's the same.
Is there a link where all the modem's can be found? and can I flash any modem?
Caulkin has a list on the same thread as the rom

Flashed the FB21 Modem and this one looks like a winner!
I'm getting instant GPS locks w/o resetting, rebooting, opening an app etc etc.
On top of that, my 3G/4G speeds have increased!
WOW! I've never loved a phone before but I'm starting to have strong feelings for this one.
Cool, maybe I'll try that one too. Don't forget to update your profile

That's very good.
You may want to test drive the fb12 just for the hell of it. I've gotten 9, 12, & 13mbps.
I did get my 1st failed GPS, but it locked shortly after.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I tried the fc05 got 13 then 4G started to sleep in the middle of things. The trick is to find "the one" that's stable and everything works. I'm gonna try the others and see how they work. But I know that this one works for my phone.

I've tried most of them now and EL29 is still the best on my phone

Update if anyone's interested: FB21 modem w/ EL29 Kernel was good but still had GPS locking issues. I was getting roughly 85% locks (which isn't bad since I test often). FAST download speeds though.
So this got me thinking: When my phone was stock, GPS worked brilliantly. It wasn't until I installed a custom rom that it started to have problems. The difference was the kernel and modems.
So now I flashed back to EK02 modem and kernel (still running Calks 2.9.2) and my GPS has been locking 100% of the time. PLUS my phone is silky smoooooth!
Crossing my fingers that this will last....

Painfully slow data connection

Hi everyone, I'm back with more questions. But first let me give a huge thanks to all that have helped me with other things. You guys helped me go from some who was terrified of the though of rooting and flashing to someone who not only rooted but has tried a few different Roms. That's huge for me as I am not a technically minded person. Thanks everyone! I hope I can help someone someday as much as in have been helped here.
Now for my question.
Since I have flashes my first custom ROM I have been getting horrible data speeds on 3g and 4g. I'm talking it takes me back to the AOL dial up days kind of slow.
I figured that I needed to update my prl/profile so I asked how to, and i did that. But no change in data speeds.
So here I am scratching my head as what to do next. Any suggestions?

We need more info. What ROM are you currently on? Have you tried updating the APN file? If you flash the latest Carbon you will have the best speeds available for AOSP based ROMs. If you flash nexOgen or Optimus you will be on Stock based Roms that have slightly better data speeds. Or you LGNPST back to the orginal factory set up and see if that makes a difference.
Lol I forgot to include the info.
I'm running the latest carbon nightly 4.3
Honestly I haven't a clue what a apn file is so I don't believe I have updated it. How would I go about doing that?
