wifi issues with cm10 based roms - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

whenever I load a cm10 based rom my wifi drops after 2 minutes. stock based wifi is consistent but as soon as I load cm10, jelly ro, or even the new experimental m1 build with always drops. to reconnect I have to turn off and on wifi. is there any solution? I was reading about cm10 modems and I didn't install anything besides cm10, aosp jelly camera and jelly gapps. any help will be greatly appreciated!
ps just realized I install the camera on every build could that mess it up lol

I've been running several nightlies over the last few weeks and now I'm solid with the M1 build and at this point I have never experienced an issue with wifi dropping.
What steps did you take to flash CM10? (cache clearing? Full wipe? Permissions?)

I did everything except permissions. Are there permissions for wifi?

No I was just mentioning the common steps so you would tell us everything. Sounds like you've installed the rom correctly but obviously their's an issue. I'm assuming that this issue is right after a clean install and not after you've installed juice defender or something like that? Assuming you're installing the correct version of CM10 for your phone (d2att?) their shouldn't be anything else needed to make wifi work (ie modem file).
If I were you I'd be tempted to redownload CM10 m1 and jellybean Google apps. Ensure you have the recommended version of cwm installed. Clear caches, full wipe, flash CM10 and apps followed by clearing of the caches again. Forget the camera initially and test the wifi. If it still doesn't work we'd need to start looking at logs.

ya shes still being stubborn. how do i show logs for you?

Hey, I was hoping someone else would chime in about the logs. I have used "alogcat" for logs before but I'm not familiar with wifi filters so I'm probably not the best person to help at this point.
Anyone?
Ian

Running the new cm10 15th build wifi is more stable but still drops after about 10 minutes. Any help would be very kind.

With all your flashing and even using latest versions I'd start to wonder if something to do with the rom is not compatible with you're rougher. Have a you tested it on an alternate wifi source? Maybe a neighbors open signal or something. It's a noob thought but it couldn't hurt.

Yes I have. Currently on a different network right now and it was still dropping. Less frequently but still happening.

I've been trying to get alogcat working on my phone but the log is blank no matter what I do. Either way, the main developer thread just got a post about wifi and how it's note staying connected. No responses yet but it would become a good place to follow as that's where the CM brains are. If I can make some sense offer this log business ill get back to you without some more ideas.

There we go, if you go into settings > wifi > menu button > advanced their is several options about wifi timeout, power saving and sleep mode. Their is a frequency setting as well you might want to toy with. I think I stumbled upon these options a while back but never had any use for them.

None of those settings ever help me. Can anyone report if CM10 is working perfect on there rogers galaxie s3? Tomorrow is my last day to return my phone so if it's every odd phone I'll just get a replacement.

Same problem here with wifi on Galaxy Note n7000. It started since I moved from CM9 to CM10.. Now trying every new Nightly, but with no success. Still losing wifi spot every 1min - 10minutes.
Thought if I download something, then wifi is stable, but soon after download is finished, wifi connection is dropped.

Working for me ...

I have a Rogers S3, and am currently running CM10 NIGHTLY 20120924. Everything appears to be working well, including Wifi; however, there is the occasional (and I mean quite rare) glitch where Wifi does seem to have a bit of difficulty connecting. Again, this is extremely rare on my device, and it may simply be something unrelated to the ROM.
Peter

YES!! This has occurred for me on the stock ATT TW rom and then same thing happened on EVERY OTHER ROM I tried after that including AOKP, LiquidRom, Aristodemos....
It's annoying and I don't know what to do.
The wifi will connect and stay blue for 5 seconds then turn grey for 10 more sec and then wifi will completely disconnect and wont reconnect unless i turn wifi off and then on again. im at a complete LOSS.
anyone have any ideas?

Exchange it. Don't put it off just use titanium backup and switch your phone.

I am having issues with WiFi on CM10 also. I can use the internet like always but the signal bars will go gray sometimes then back to blue. While they are gray I can browse, usually with chrome, but youtube will not work. It is odd that some apps won't work but some will. It may be dropping and coming back but is not strong enough to stream video.
I am using CM10 10/9/12 nightly and an N600 Netgear router. I am starting to think the Netgear router might be my culprit. I have always had dropout issues with them in the past, although, my computers, 360, and PS3 have no issues. Maybe I could just make it a signal repeater and get a Linksys again.
Has anyone else had this issue, think it is the Netgear? Should I try a new router firmware like dd wrt?

Because you are in the wrong thread.
And you need to redownload and wipe everything.

Two problems I cannot figure out, please help! :(

I tried looking around for the answers on the boards, but I have two issues which seem to happen with every rom I use now.
First, I cannot get rid of that annoying voicemail icon that is just there. I use google voice and I dont understand why that thing is there.
The second problem just started happening recently, everyone that calls me shows as unknown?! I never had this problem and im curious if anyone knows how to fix it /.. Thank you so much and sorry if this was answered before.
GPS problem...
Hello. I'm a noob, so please be patient with me. I have a SGH-T989D (Galaxy S2X from Telus) that I've rooted a week ago. I'm currently running Mr. X's DARKSIDE UCLE BETA07.1 rom. Everyting is snappy, I have WIFI, 4G/LTE connexion. My only problem is the GPS. I've tried also the DARKSIDE TLLE4 v1 rom version, with the same problem. I've done a superwipe, clean cache and Dalvik cache, BEFORE installing everything (the rom and the radios). I've let the phone sit after first boot WITHOUT touching the screen or anything for at leat 15 minutes and rebooted. The only thing I can't figure out is the get the GPS working. When I do a *#2263# on the dial pad of the phone to set it to automatic, I get a MENU NOT EXIST, PRESS BACK KEY and Current command is 187211. May be it is a APN problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I've read the posts, but didn't find the solution. By the way, I also tried the stock rooted telus version of ICS from this site, with the same results. Thanks in advance for your help. Mr. X's rom are great! I will try to contribute as soon as possible (with my modest means).
I've experienced both of those problems. The voicemail thing was solved when I went into Google voice's settings and uncheck "voicemail display". It shouldn't integrate into the native voicemail anymore.
The unknown caller thing happened on darkside 3 v4 I think. I have a tmobile sgs2 do it was the newer version based off the official kernel. That was a known bug he fixed in the next release, but it went away for me in a day or so. I know you said it happens on all the roms you try, so that's really strange and I'm not sure what it could be. But for me it was the one rom.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Ok I should be clearer, maybe not all roms, but recent roms I tried (ics)
I played with the Darkside as always but I also tried cm9 and few others.
For the mailbox icon, I tried playing with google voice and had everything unchecked for notifications and the damn thing is still there - this is not a big issue I guess, but the unknown caller is sort of annoying since I like to know who is calling me hehe

This might depend on if your in the states or not but i have a solution that i saw posted somehwere that works for me...
With Root explorer navigate to /system/etc then look for a file named gps.conf...longpress on gps.conf and open in text editor (make sure you click the Mount R/W tab in top right corner) and 4th line down should be NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org rename it to NTP_SERVER=us.pool.ntp.org and should be golden after that. :good:
Thanks. I will take a look at that file in the system.

I've tried the gps and it works ! But only with the data (4G/LTE) on... weird... but it works. Now, to the first part of my first question, why can't I change the configuration of the phone when typing *#2263# ? It says it is on automatic, but if I want to change it, I get error messages like thew ones I posted in my first message. Is there something wrong with my rooting ? Or permissions ? (I checked permissions and everything seems to be fine though...) Currently running Darkside TLLE4 V1. Everything works good besides that...

[Q] Total Signal Loss, Again

My wife and i got our GNex phones at the same time in April through the Amazon wireless store. Both of our phones had to be repalced by amazon within the 30 day window for 4g/3g/1x signal drop issue. 4g radio would just totally crap out, then would wipe out the 3g and then i would have a complete signal loss. Everything was fine after we got the replacement phones. My wifes phone is totally stock and has had zero issues. Mine is rooted running AOKP toro IMM761, Android 4.04. 4 days ago it started having the rampant 4g signal crash issue again. I've turned off the 4g radio for now, but according to NoSignalAlert, with just the 3g radio on i've had complete signal loss 7 times today. I'm in the same area as usual, my house and my office where i normally have 2+ bars of 4g. I'm thinking the radio has gone bad in this phone, like it did in both of our previous GNex phones, it just took this one 6 months to die. Now i have to deal with Verizon Wireless to get a replacement. They are wanting to make sure i'm on the most current build, baseband etc. Here are my questions.
1 - What is the most current stock ROM, radio, build etc. that i an put back on my phone to both a)make sure that a rooted app/baseband etc. is not all of a sudden causing this issue and b) i can talk to VZW and they won't know i've rooted the phone.
2 - Once i return the phone to a stock ROM, i assume that I will have to do an OTA to satisfy the VZW tech. If the phone does not need to be replaced, i.e. the OTA fixes it, will i still be able to root back to an AOKP ROM?
3 - Is there some other update i should try before going the "unrooted" route and trying to talk with Verizon?
Thanks for your help.

Here are the VZW radios for the Gnex. Personally I would try flashing the new one [4.1.1 (JRO03O)] with a JB ROM. I was on AOKP for pretty much the entire life of my Gnex, 8 months, and never tried CM10. Flashed CM and besides the Nav bar, which I like better in AOKP, I have seen substantial improvements in performance, stability, and even better battery life. If you are determined to stay with AOKP I would still update to the JB version and try those "new" radios.
I started having the same problem a couple days ago when flashing a ROM went bad so I had to restore to an old (4+ mo. old) backup. From there I flashed factoryrom jb and then flashed the new radios today Cuz I just noticed the lack of signal. Still no bars anywhere. Any other thoughts? Do you think flashing a CM would fix it? If so, why?

What is selected in settings-more-mobile network-network mode?
data enabled is checked, and network mode is LTE/CDMA
I was gonna try to find a fix today and if i can't find one, flash to complete stock, reroot/mod etc.

Well, your settings are good to go. Did you check the md5 sum of the radio file after you downloaded it? If you have root explorer hold down on the .zip file and choose properties to check the sum and make sure it matches.
hahaha i guess that's what I get for trying to download a radio on crappy mall WiFi... the MD5 was bad :-/ works good now! thanks!

Hmm, it did this "need to restart SIM to work properly" crap, restarted and stopped working. Any thoughts? I'm installing franco kernel to see if that helps
Welp I ended up just flashing the factory image hahaha, will reinstall ROM and see how it goes. Everything seems to be working fine right now though
Glad it was something simple like that to get you back up and running.:good::highfive:

I d/l the 4.1.1 radio and flashed it in clockwork, and though the flash said it completed successfully, i don't see a way to check the radio version. I don't see 4.1.1 JR03O listed anywhere in the About Phone information...Where should i be looking?
Further, my prboblem seems to have further degaded ...With the 4g radio on, i get random total shut down of the phone, as opposed to simple radio crashes. Just goes to off with black screen. I'm up to try anything. I assume i can easily locate one of these JB ROM's in the dev section?

The baseband i think. Mine is I515.09 V.FF02 / I515.FG02.
I'm not all that knowledgable about the radios I just know my reception/data was poor on JB ROM with ICS radios. When I flashed the JB radio, my issues were fixed. I believe the ROM and radio versions should match, so if you flash JB radio I would flash JB ROM. All the info should be in the thread that is linked.

I am such an idiot, this whole time you've been talking about JB ROMs i assumed you meant some particular brand of ROM, like AOKP or Myn etc... It didn't dawn on me until i saw JB next to ICS that you meant Jelly Bean ROM.
Ok i'm running an AOKP Jelly Bean ROM with Android 4.1.2
baseband is the same as yours
Build is aokp_toro-userdebug 4.1.2 JZo54K
The radio problem seems to be resolved. Thanks for the point in the right direction!
oops, accidentally wiped my sd card when i was restoring back to factory... TOTAL back to factory hahaha.... which isn't so bad i guess... after a year it's about time I guess
I seem to lose signal when leaving wifi though, have to either airplane mode or reboot. Because I had my phone so long, I don't know if there was connection or dust issues, so I did the classic NES/SNES/Sega Gen trick, took the sim card out, blew in there and all that. Seems to still be going ok.
Fyi.. i a simple restart doesnt disconnect u from the towers.. u need to turn off, pull battery, pull sim, and wait for 10 20 sec. That will disconnect u fully..

[Q] Phone deactivated?

I was running latest paranoid android and I wiped cache/dalvic cache after flashing Cerberus in recovery and when the phone booted up it was asking me to Activate (sprint service) my phone. I've never seen this with flashing roms and was wondering if this is a known issue with flashing roms on the S3 or something that can randomly occur from time to time.
Anyone have experience with this before? I had been running Paranoid Android for less than 24 hours but initially didn't have any problems whatsoever.
Itll do that sometimes depending on the rom. Usually does it after a factory reset and installing a cm based rom. Its just asking you to add your google account... you should be fine

This didn't have anything to do with my Google account. I guess I should have been more specific, I mean that my phone is deactivated on Sprint's network as in I can't make phone calls and all the info is missing in about phone. Phone number, PRL and such. I am flashing back to stock right now and hope this fixes it. Will probably give paranoid another go but this doesn't sound like a common issue because I haven't been able to find anything by searching.
When you get back to stock it'll probably reactivate itself. If not (although you can do this regardless just in case), ##72786# in the dialer should set you straight. If I'm not mistaken the screen you're referring to should be gone when you boot stock regardless. Its a bug. Doesn't work for a sprint phone but still buried in the rom
Ahhh... could try manually flashing your modem after the install too

Soon as I flashed the stock rom it tried to activate and initially failed and prompted me to reboot. Second attempt it was successful and then I immediately flashed back to PA and it is working. Going to give it another shot and keep the stock rom on my sd card this time in case I get stuck in a pinch.
I jumped the gun, phone activated fine but signal drops in and out randomly and will not connect to 3g. Just reflashed to stock again and everything seemed fine but signal was still back in and out. Checked under status and PRL read "0" tried updating to no avail so did the dialer code and it did the activation and all is right in the world again, or at least for the moment.
Just trying to figure out why when I flash Paranoid all my settings just disappear
*edit*
Just flashed back to PA this third time after fully making sure that the phone was working and had 3G data and all was right with the world (my phone). Will update if it goes South again but as of right now the phone is behaving properly. Maybe it just wasn't working right the first time and I didn't notice since I was on wifi. Only thing that keeps me from thinking that is I didn't get the Activation message until 12 hours or so after I had flashed and had been using the phone. /shrug
I still think flashing a modem in recovery after installing PA would yield a poisitve result

[Solved] Urgent, LTE issue.

Solved! ODIN'd back to stock and LTE kicked in immediately. Back to flashing =) Thanks guys!

============================================================================
Hello everyone,
I need some immediate help please. I flashed GalaxyMod TouchWiz ROM (coming from Vanilla RootBox). I flashed because I was looking for a more stable ROM and started having the following issue:
After the flash I only get 3G for roughly 5-10 minutes. After about 5-10 minutes LTE finally activates. This persists through ROM flashes. This happens after every reboot and after toggling airplane mode.
I have since flashed Task650's AOKP and CM10.1 and the above issue is still present. I have checked my APN settings, which are on PTA. I also checked my preferred network and this is where I noticed an oddity. It is stuck on WCDMA preferred for the first 5-10 minutes and then finally changes by itself to LTE / GSM/WCDMA.
Steps I've taken so far:
1.) Flashed the LTE fix (while still on GalaxyMod ROM) which was provided in the GalaxyMod thread. This made no affect on the issue at all.
2.) Flashed new modems, no affect at all.
3.) Wiped Cache, Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, System, Internal Memory and Data, reflashed a new ROM, no affect.
I never had any delay in connecting to LTE prior to flashing GalaxyMod, and now I get it on every ROM I flash thereafter.
What can be causing this? I am thinking the only thing I can do is Triangle Away, ODIN back to Stock and send it to Samsung.
If you have any suggestions at all, please let me know. I am desperate to get this working.
At the time of this post I'm running TWRP 2.4.1.0, CM10.1 and the packaged CM Kernel that comes with the ROM.

Running galaxymod right now and in DFW area with great LTE coverage and never had the issues you had or any for that matter. Somehow in the flashing, I'm going to get real technical here right now , something got borked that isn't affected by flashing a new ROM. We could give to several things to try but honestly flashing back to factory out of the box and starting from there is the only fail safe way to do it. probably faster too. That's I would do

We could give to several things to try but honestly flashing back to factory out of the box and starting from there is the only fail safe way to do it. probably faster too. That's I would do

Thanks for the reply. I just downloaded root-injected stock and am flashing as we speak. If this doesn't work, I'm going to flash back to bone-stock and see how that goes. I'll report back and let everyone know =)

Hello everyone,
I need some immediate help please. I flashed GalaxyMod TouchWiz ROM (coming from Vanilla RootBox). I flashed because I was looking for a more stable ROM and started having the following issue:
After the flash I only get 3G for roughly 5-10 minutes. After about 5-10 minutes LTE finally activates. This persists through ROM flashes. This happens after every reboot and after toggling airplane mode.
I have since flashed Task650's AOKP and CM10.1 and the above issue is still present. I have checked my APN settings, which are on PTA. I also checked my preferred network and this is where I noticed an oddity. It is stuck on WCDMA preferred for the first 5-10 minutes and then finally changes by itself to LTE / GSM/WCDMA.
Steps I've taken so far:
1.) Flashed the LTE fix (while still on GalaxyMod ROM) which was provided in the GalaxyMod thread. This made no affect on the issue at all.
2.) Flashed new modems, no affect at all.
3.) Wiped Cache, Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, System, Internal Memory and Data, reflashed a new ROM, no affect.
I never had any delay in connecting to LTE prior to flashing GalaxyMod, and now I get it on every ROM I flash thereafter.
What can be causing this? I am thinking the only thing I can do is Triangle Away, ODIN back to Stock and send it to Samsung.
If you have any suggestions at all, please let me know. I am desperate to get this working.
At the time of this post I'm running TWRP 2.4.1.0, CM10.1 and the packaged CM Kernel that comes with the ROM.

Did you check to see if your IMEI is missing?
I had the same issue on GalaxyMod. I had to do a clean install of the ROM, apply KT's kernel, and apply the LTE fix BEFORE I rebooted. I could not tell from your post if you did a clean install of GalaxyMod. Then I checked my IMEI and it was missing, so I performed the fix found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997 and repeated the steps above. Worked for me as I get LTE speeds now on GalaxyMod.

I'm getting LTE speeds, problem is after toggling airplane mode or rebooting the phone it takes up to 10 minutes for LTE to activate. I fresh installed GalaxyMod, wiped everything possible in the wipe menu of TWRP with the exception of external SD.
I also applied the LTE fix before I booted GalaxyMod, but I did not flash KT747. I prefer to not flash that kernel because it has the updated BT/WIFI drivers and had a warning that I would need to back those drivers up if I ever wished to revert. I don't really feel like going through all of that lol.
Solved. ODIN'd back to stock =) Thanks hednik!

Glad it worked.... these phones are almost fool proof as you can start with a clean slate if all else fails. Glad it worked
IMEI was still intact ?

Yupp I haven't yet lost my IMEI since I got the phone back in July. Guess I'm lucky so far, see posts all the time where people lose it, and I'm a flashaholic lol.

[Q] What is wrong with my Gnex?

Hey the Problem is the following:
3-5 random reboots every day
restarts during every phonecall after 1-3 Minutes
freezes when in standby, cant turn back on -> need to take battery out
often slow, especially when switching apps. or when typing
I have tried stock 4.3, CM10.2 recently and before that CM10.1 for a while.
I already send it in but they only said my battery is broken.
Is it possible that all my problems come from this?
I rather think my flash memory is broken? What you think?

Since yesterday I am facing the same problems you are describing. At first I thought it was a bad flash or something like that. Clean installed various 4.3 costum roms and it's always the same.
Right now I will look deeper into it since the phone is unusable in that condition.
If I find a solution I will comment.
Best regards
Edit: Okay, works again flawlessly. I simply flashed an nightly from carbon-rom and the lags were gone. Hope it helps. What exactly caused the lag I don't know. For now I am staying on 4.2.2 Carbon as it is my favourite rom anyway and I will wait till there are stable 4.3 from carbon.
Are you sure it's the phone and not an app?

Not pretty sure, but it still occured after countless factory resets, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache and wipe system via TWRP.
Have you tried a clean install without installing apps to see if you get a reboot to eliminate an app as a possible cause?

Yes I did. I only flashed for example newest PA and their PA Gapps.
So far I resolved it by "downgrading" to a 4.2.2 nightly from carbon. The lags are completly gone. I will stay and wait till carbon has stable 4.3.
why dont people try stock when they are having problems? going from 1 custom rom to the next does not prove it is the phone.
please fastboot flash the stock rom and do not restore any apps/data other than say your google acct

Already did that.
I am having the same/similar problems with my GNex too. Specifically bullets [1-3] from the original post. I am running unmodified yakjuux and have tried with just my google account with no other apps and the same problem exists.
Mine makes a noticeable "click" sound with a vibration followed by a reboot.
It usually happens during calls and after it boots the phone call log shows no record of the incoming/outgoing call that just happened. Its like a blue screen of death for android!
I have sent the phone back to Samsung's warranty service 4 separate times and each time they reported no trouble found in the completion report. They just factory reset or put an older version of jelly bean back on the phone and send it back to me with some notes of PRL updates and other nonsense to make it seem like they did something to fix it.
Does anyone have any suggestions (logs, adb, etc) how I can help prove to Samsung/service absolute that the phone is a lemon (other than trying to video tape the phone hoping it reboots - because that is the last resort)?
I already escalated to executive customer service and they refused an exchange because the completion reports show no trouble found :crying:
Thx!
well... I also have this problem.
First happened when I flash Cm10.2 nightly (don't remember which one).
Then I flash PA, or whatever... Looks like the random reboot relating to notifications? It's usually happened when whatsapp notification coming in, but not always.
But a few weeks ago I flashed stock ROM rooted (via TWRP, not fastboot).
The problems solved. No random reboots anymore. Then today I tried latest CM10.2, and it happened again... Wonder why... Looks like it's a very rare problems.
Interesting to see someone having the same problem...
Now I want to flash stock ROM via fastboot to check if it'll fix.
Btw, I can flash directly to CM 10.2 from 10.1, can't I? Or I should flash 4.3 via fastboot first?

I believe CM offers an upgrade option somewhere in the system settings. Unless you want to wipe your phone and flash directly to 10.2 in which case I do not think you need to flash stock 4.3 first. Maybe just do a reset within 10.1 before you flash CM10.2 via whatever recovery (clockwork etc) you are using but even that may be unnecessary.
My 1 year warranty expires this month so if I can't manage to get something out of Samsung I am going to play around with flashing stock 4.3 as you suggested. I have tried converting yakjuux to yakju in the past but still saw the problem then which made me revert back to yakjuux so I could send the phone back for service).
