[Q] Ion has intermittent wifi issues on XZXperience ROM - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

I am only able to test on two wifi connections.
One gives me a "connectivity error" at all times, and the other cuts in and out and is not very stable. Mobile data is working fine. I am on a school network so I cannot reset the access points.
Any ideas?

No issues on wifi on my ion on xzx, tested on several wifi networks with no issues whatsoever.

Did you flash fix for XZXperience?

I did when I first flashed the rom, and when I started noticing the wifi issues, I re-flashed it but no change.
I don't think it's the access points because a Motorola phone I have works fine on them, as well as my laptop and other wifi devices I have.
Would re-flashing the rom itself help anything?

It may solve it. Give it a try.

I found that it is most likely an issue with an access point in the building, so I filed a ticket with my school's IT and they said they will investigate.

couple of issues - ebay and facebook apps

hello - does anyone know why ebay will struggle 99% of the time on wifi and wont work, but on standard data its fine?
and facebook - on data it struggles to update and wont load latest stories etc,yet on wifi its fine??
is it a known issue? is it app related? or the handset? or a setting i need to tweak? im on stock rom and plan to say that way due to using roms before but the navigation feature was broken on every rom.

No wifi hotspot connection

I know the tethering topic has been covered before but I cant find anything that has the same issue as I am having. I am running Infamous 3.3 with the kernel it came with. I use to have it working with no problem. Now the wifi hotspot will connect to my computer but there is no data coming through the connection. I then flashed Infamous Google Edition 3 and same thing no data connect through the wifi hotspot. So I am back to Infamous 3.3 since now I know its not a rom issue. I also tried using Hotspot shield VPN on both roms. Any ideas?????
Anyone?

I am, and was using:
WiFi Tether version 3.3-beta2 and a vpn prior to flashing Infamous.
I tried the WiFi option on Infamous and had a similar issue as you. But others have no issues, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
I have had similar issues with other wifi tether set ups so it may be a user programming adjustment needed, etc.
Nevertheless, I've used the above Wifi Tether set up without issues, so I stay with it.. As is said, "If it Ain't Broke, Don't Fix it"
What version of infamous are you using?

I'm rooted with Locked Bl, I have no intention of unlocking it, And I agree it keeps cutting out and I'm going crazy. I'm at home 98% of the time, so I'm connected to Wi-Fi. Definitely the most annoying thing when it keeps disconnecting.

I've used this"Cross Bread" thing, and it hasn't changed much. The cut out happens less, but still happens.

Copying wifi modules from another ROM doesn't require you to unlock your bootloader. Just download a zip from a firmware that used to have better for you, extract the modules (he already said where to find them) and copy them to your phone (you need to be rooted, but that's not unlocking and completely reversable, just remove superuser if you don't want to be rooted anymore).

WIFI Tether after ota

Has anyone had any issues with wifi tether after the 4.3 ota.
I am having one hell of a time getting it to work.
I tried everything i can think of and it refuses to work.
Get errors about not finding the binaries, gets phone in unknown state ( the only app that does it )... yes i am rooted and confirmed that i can mod system files.

Anyone else having issues with the WifiTether_TrevE_Mod i normally use the 3.3 pre 2
thanks
I'm seeing the exact same thing. Also seeing messages like "Couldn't install file-data/data/com/googlecode.android.wifi.tether/bin..." and when trying to view the log file it also doesn't exist. Have tried several configurations and several tethering apps and can't get anything to work.
Gain root access, delete or rename /data/misc/wifi directory.

This didn't work for me.
Hopefully it works for OP. I'll just have to go back to FoxFi for the time being.

What exactly is happening when you start tethering ?
Are you getting "error" or you can start tethering but no data is transfered from your device ?
My post solves the "error" problem as described here
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62516
Other posts here indicate that in some cases tethering won't work if you don't have a plan for it.
Anyhow there is a fix for this issue too. search the forum.

Depending on what I try I either get a screen that is forever asking me to "Please wait while starting..." or I get the error like wpsantennas where it tells me "Couldn't install file-data/data/com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether/bin/tether!"
It will tell me my phone is in an "unknown state" if I try to stop and restart the tethering process.

Same problem here. Tethering worked fine before update, after updating to 4.3 experiencing same problems listed above.
From what I've read, a few of the custom roms, including some sense roms, seem to have the stock mobile hotspot working. Anyone know what was changed in those to get it working?

Oh, but I am rooted, just running stock (except for root, of course). Your NuSenseOne rom has a working modified wifi tether. Can it be transplanted to stock 4.3?
Thanks.

Those pictures perfectly explain exactly what I'm seeing. As you've noted, none of the suggested solutions have worked. Are you using the stock kernel?

100% stock rooted, debloated.
Im trying to get the native tether with security check bypassed.. i found the code but of course when i debloated i dont have the files, so i got to wait 3 hours to dl the rom with the file ..ugh useing th previous rom files i can get it to launch and run, and show up but going into settings crashes settings
I'm stock rooted except running ObOne kernel. Didn't think the kernel was the problem but didn't run tether on 4.3 before flashing the new kernel. When I ran into the tether problems I wasn't debloated but since then I've dumped some stuff.
Based on the error messages it seems as if the app can't write to the directory but have no clue why. Tried OpenGarden and it had the same errors.

I decided to check out the sprint forums for the one, and the exact same thing happened to them when they got 4.3 . It seems it was hit or miss with the tether apps. and it seemed that a reasonable fix was to use native tether with security bypassed. The person who modded the one tether app that we are having problems with seems to be MIA
Workaround
All,
I believe i found a viable workaround

[Q] Unstable Internet connection on RR official ROM

I'm using RR KK official by @xenon92 v.5.0.5 .
I having problem with my internet connection since using this custom rom.
The connection for data is unstable (often lost data connection) and can't reach to maximal speed.
I detect this problem because I didnt have this problem when i using stock rom.
I already Contact the operator and no internet or network issue.
I hope in this forum can solve this problem..

such things happen and you should put this bug in the rom's thread so in next build the dev might surely fix it

Is it happening only with RR? Have you tried using any other cm based ROMs. Is it the same.
I too have experienced this. i.e. connection becomes idle after sometime. But i thought its problem with the operator.

Yeahh, I already solved this problem with 'Phone Info' app and I set preferred network type to WCDMA only.
Because on this ROM we can't set the network to WCDMA only.
Now, my internet connection is more stable. But I still have issue with internet connection cant reach to highest internet speed on mobile network.
Thx all for your response and trying to help.. :good:
