WiFi issue with ADHD

Hi, I used to use ARHD 6.x.x and I noticed that I could not locate my home WiFi (always out of range, even when beside the router). At the time I thoyght it may be a router issue, until I tried the IceColdSandwich Rom, which found my WiFi with no problems, and seemed to have an amazing range. I just went back to ARHD 7.0.0 (I'm a big sense fan ) and once again I cannot find my home WiFi (just my home network, not any others), does anyone have a possible solution/fix for my problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Note: I've tried all the "WiFi fixes" on the market, none have helped

Try using another kernel?

are there any you can recommend? I've tried a few but none seemed to resolve the issue

If possible use the kernel from rom that worked. If think it's lordmod kernel. Im using it.

the kernel I am using is an ICS kernel, but I'll try using the Lord mod sense kernel (if I can find it)

AOSP kernel will not work on Sense ROMs. Or it wilk but you'll giant issues with it, like your wifi or data and system apps force closing. You can browse the dev section to get a sense kernel.

Hi if u use the rcmix v4.0 ROM it is just like sense with tweeks.it's a great rom nd I have never had any problems with the wifi nd it is by far the best rom for desire hd in my opinion.and in the tweaks u can change the kernel aswel.

I've never tried it, but I'll give it a go
edit: I don't think it's a kernel issue now, and it may not be the rom either, I tried the latest official blackice rom, and i couldn't find my home wireless network, but I found others. it's very confusing as it has always worked perfectly fine before
edit 2: okay so I pretty much cycled through every available rom for dhd and the only ones that had wifi working were the ICS ones (unless specifically stated that wifi was not working). gingerbread seems to hate my home wifi now for some reason. anybody have any ideas why?

sorry for the double post, just wanted to bump it and let you all know that the problem has been solved the channel on ny router (which was set to auto) was on channel 12, seemingly undetectable by by gingerbread but detectable by ics, so I just changed it to a compatible channel thanks for all the help though!

I had the same problem. I gave up on that and moved to another ROM.

i hope u sloved it soon.

Ty the problem has already been solved

[Q] Looking for stable Navigation

I've been trying dozens of AOSP ROMs over the past few months, and every single one causes my phone to reboot after about 5-10 minutes of GPS navigation via Google Maps.
So I'm thinking I need to switch back to a Sense ROM (as much as I hate Sense.)
I'd like to get some feedback as to which ROM is the most stable, with the least amount of "Sense bloat". I don't really need or want any HTC Sense apps, but the most important thing for me is STABILITY. I need navigation to work!
THanks for any input

Were you using custom kernels?

In my opinion AOSP had had better gps results with my phone. However there is a fix by Galandy that is the actual updated gps driver from Qualcomm. Search for evo gps fixes and you will see it.

I tried both stock Cm7 and custom kernels, made no difference.
I'm on Jamieg's KWIQ NONSENSE now and it seems solid... But have to wait a week or so to be sure...

GPS fix? AOKP maybe cm9 ics

First of all I'm on AOKP 715 m6. My gps was nonexistent even though it was good on earlier versions. I was running a modded vle radio which i don't remember the source. Anyways, i flashed tdj's modded vle radio in one of his threads and gps initial locked on in less than 5 mins. It then locks on in less than a min after that.
At first i thought it was the kernel, so i flashed different ones, but no changes. however the radio definitely fixed it for me on AOKP.
So to those with gps problems try flashing tdj's modded radios. Sorry for being lazy on my phone and not linking them.

This was discussed months ago. Its the basic reason modded radios were made. Apparently the RILS break GPS. So yes GPS won't work unless you flash one of the modded radios, as you found out by accident lol.

I am not using a modded radio I am using the one that came with the ics official update uvle1. And I am running AOKP M6 7-15. My GPS is the best it has ever been I get instant locks even indoors. And It is accurate too. I have also used other roms and had the same results.

yeah i remembered that discussion, and I flashed a modded radio and it worked for most ROMs. I was then really bothered that my uber great locking GPS was no more... I seriously thought I flashed TDJ's radio because I had a file with the same name in my sd card. So I was bummed and decided to test kernels because thats like testing 2 things at once lol. But yeah I ended up checking the md5 of the modded radio i had on my sd card and it turns out it wasn't the same. Must have gotten it from a different thread even though the file name was the same.
But yeah it's just a little reminder to those who have GPS problems, that even though you may think you have a perfectly working radio... you should just flash TDJ's radio mods just in case.

Just flashed TDJ's modded UCLE1 radio...still no luck with GPS

What do you guys mean when you say "breaks GPS"? I am trying to determine if my problem is similar to yours.
My problem is not really an issue with the GPS but an issue with Google Maps. When I use navigation from point A to point B, say Schaumburg to Chicago, it'll always speak directions as if it's going from point B to point A, although all the on-screen directions are correct.
I uninstalled the app and reinstalled, but have not yet tested to see if that fixed it.

Have any of you tried the agps fix for cm and aokp ROM?

I have. I don't know why, but running CM9, my GPS doesn't work no matter what. Maybe the GPS chip broke or something.

Yes this is what I have to do every time I flash a ROM and GPS breaks. I made a thread about it and there are also 2 more threads. Its a zip file you flash through cwm. Also people don't forget that if you're on cyanogenmod that you have to go into location services, GPS source and tick "use internal GPS". Or else GPS will barely work.

Read my post above. Enable internal GPS in GPS source/location settings.

didn't know he had a ucle1 radio, he has a uvle1 radio though maybe try that one.
If it is the first time you're trying to lock on, it might take a while, you should turn off wifi and data while leaving your GPS on. Stand outside with it on for 5-10 mins or so, it should get a lock on. After that your GPS locks quicker the more frequent you use it.
I think a lot of people would expect GPS to lock on right away, this only happens if your phone has recent locks to the GPS. I find it best with wifi and data off and to just leave the gps on and google maps on.
btw i've tried the AGPS patch before, but if you have a crappy radio it still won't connect lol.

Here's the screenshot without data or wifi. This is inside my house. Notice the gps signal has a constant dot in the middle, i know for aokp this means i have locked on.probably the same for cm, not sure about tw, haven't been on that for a month.
Anyways it has went as low as 4m, so pretty good. This is without apply the patch.

Download GPS status. Its free in the market. Will tell you how many satellites you're locked onto just for kicks. 4m is very accurate.

ROM recommendations!?

Hello all. It has been months since I've participated in these forums and I've been on this gingersnap ROM this whole time and I wanted to move to a different ROM. I need something that has fully functional camera, GPS and mostly everything. Any suggestions? Also I've been having battery drain issues even with freezing apps, turning brightness low and just idling.

Okay, I see search from the app isn't as bad as it used to be. Still having trouble choosing a ROM. I loved cm on my EVO but the GPS being spotty just made everything horrible.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

there's a lot of ROMs out there for the T989. You can watch the video reviews on galaxys2root.com , but otherwise, there's just a lot of flavors.
It basically breaks down into some of the primary features. I need WiFi calling, so I can't use AOKP or CM9. I would go for AOKP any day if I didn't need WiFi calling. Coming from Juggernaut 2.3.6 ROM, I miss all the "ROM control" features.
From what I hear, CM9 is the way to go if you don't care about WiFi calling. Otherwise, You have Jedi Mind Trick, Clone Drones, Darkside, Infamous... I think are the most popular.
Just backup everything, and try one ROM a day to see what you like. Any of the new ICS ones have fairly good battery life. In addition, your GPS issue, flash the aGPS patch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563226 (it made my GPS usable again!)

You don't even need to flash that patch for gps. Just flash a modded radio.

Jellybean Rom features on this old device

I have tested out many gingerbread ROMs and recently tried MazWoz JB 4.2.1 B4. It worked well except it had camcorder/camera issues with preview, errors when ending calls, and no bluetooth. The bluetooth caused me to switch back to gingerbread. For those of you that have tested the various jellybean Roms, have you found one that runs smooth with most features working? I don't care about FFC or 4G features.
Thanks.

Try this one i use quick snap camera not as much lag i don't use blue tooth so can't commit on that i haven't had any GPS issues so no need for GPS fix also a2sd fine. There are some others i just haven't tried but reading threads sounds as if they are OK to
