Hello good people of XDA. I am currently using the above rom by PipelinerArd.
The latest build (04-04-2013) is almost flawless. Everything is working great except for the Wifi.
While the device is connecting to the router, and while I'm standing less than a meter from it, it shows only one or two bars (in the Wifi meter).
Surrounding my house I have about 6-7 other wifi broadcasting network which normally the phone would "see" (e.g. with the Android Revolution HD ROM) with this rom it sees only my Wifi.
If I exit the room and move approx. 6-7 meters away from the router, with only one wall interfering, the phone disconnects from the router.
Anybody else has the same problem? Any suggestions?
wifi doesn't work at all here , same rom , i am unable to turn it off after i turned it on for the first time , even after rebooting !

My friend owns a vzn galaxy nexus and used to be on CM9 nightlies. We would usually be on the same build but he had an extremely poor range with connecting to WiFi and Bluetooth. The best suggestion was to do a data wipe and put on a new rom. Jellybean has been put on and the pro lem still remains for him. My phone is on jellybean as well but does not have this issue..suggestions?

Wi-fi
I installed JB today and like many people found that wi-fi seemed weak on signal. Please check this link. I applied this and my wi-fi was back to its previous state if not better.

P.S. I'm the friend w/ the messed up WiFi and Bluetooth. My phone was turned off, charging before..

i am facing an issue with wifi on my htc desire with AOKP based JB ROM (sites.google.com/site/androidromporting/changelogs).
It is basically frozen, when i go to wifi in settings, at times the screen stays blank and never loads. at times it gets stuck at "turining wifi on..." othertines it shows the wireless network and similar does not react when i choose to connect. stays inert.
i suspect that a voip calling service that i was using caused this issue when it froze during use. I subsequently froze that app using titanium and even uninstalled it altogether a little later.
i am not really finding any solutions on the net. some have suggested a factory reset which i am vary of doing as i am currently travelling..
i really am missing the use of wifi in my hotel room for using things like viber for calling back home.
any suggestions (short of factory reset) will be welcome.

Don't know if it has been covered already, but a quick search didn't turn up anything.
I am on 4.04 stock and the problem is, i can connect to the wireless network just fine, and everything works for some time.
Quite soon, no webpages open anymore and everything just gets timed out. The connection, however, is there and signal is perfect.
I slide wifi off, then on, it reconnects and everything works again for a short period. Any idea what could be causing this and what a workaround could be?
Have you tried resetting your wireless router and modem? Sometimes that happens to me, no matter what device or rom I'm using. Shows it perfectly connected but nothing opens. I make a habit to reset my modem and router weekly now to avoid it.

I'll try it right away. My laptop however stays nicely connected and has zero wifi issues, but i'll give it a go and report back.
No help unfortunately. Wifi stays connected, however there is no internet connection after 5-10 minutes.
Is your battery level low, some battery saving feature is active ? Just guessing ?!

Try reinserting your sim card, helped me a couple of times
Well, that's the thing. No mods, no nothing extra running, battery full or almost empty makes no difference. Sometimes the connection dies in one minute, the phone's personal best is like 10 minutes probably
I will try and remove the simcard, however i am unsure how this could affect anything. I am willing to try anything at this point, this is realy frustrating.
I have the exact same problem. Currently I'm running Android Revolution 15.0, but it did the same with Renovate rom. I have hboot 1.31 atm.

I also have the 1.31 Hboot, wonder if that could be part of the problem...otherwise everything is stock.
I'l check out the topic, thank you!
Had this issue too. I switched to only use G band on my wifi box. N band was always making my hox s wifi "freeze"

count me in, ARHD hboot 1.31
problem showed up after rooting and flashing JB roms, anyway the problem existed on hboot 1.28
Looking for some help, with WiFi Calling.
Tried three different locations
-Home Uverse - 18 Mbps
-Friends House - 24Mbps
-Work - Verizon 6Mbps
The call connects perfectly, and I can hear the caller but the caller can't hear me.
Any ideas?
What do you have installed on your phone

Stock Software
Rooted
G3 Tweaksbox - (Visual changes only)
Looks like T-Mobile is having issues with their WiFi Calling servers yet again. I had this same problem for months on the Note 3 until I complained and they opened a master trouble ticket and fixed it on their end.
I guess their servers are glitching up again.

Just made a few calls on WiFi calling and it all works. Sorry bro best I can do is say uninstall xposed and reboot and check.

Wifi range sucks on this phone probably phone thinks u far away and looses signal even though it shows strong bet if u close to router it will work but if u walk away it will lose signal and show connected.I dont know if a new modem or build will fix this.
Mine works fine
Not sure what the issue was, but ended up reverting back to stock.
I then re-rooted, and tested Wi-Fi Calling prior to, and after all major changes. End result....phone that is setup exactly the same, with the same apps etc...and Wifi Calling is still working.
They had a new update today thats supposed to fix some bugs with wifi calling
I've had the same issue. Most calls go through fine but probably 10% connect and there is no audio. I have to turn off WiFi and or reboot the phone to make calls correctly.

Had that happening on my Note 3. Reported it on their forums and they opened a master trouble ticket, had someone contact me to take down my info (router make, model, firmware version, phone firmware version, settings, etc.), and two days later it started working properly - apparently it was an issue on their end.
I suggest you post on their support forum with a detailed description of your problem and the steps you tried to remedy it so far.
Mine has this issue about 30% of the time. ..no rhyme or reason Must just be another "you get what you pay for" related issue. I'm actually going back to Verizon on the M8 sometime tomorrow
---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------
I've had Verizon for about 10 years up until about a week ago. It's been way too frustrating since switching. Sure, I'll save about $30/month with T-Mobile, but I'll have to put that $30 towards Ativan and Clonadine prescriptions if I stick with them.
My experience with T-mobile's unpredictable service quality has been a nightmare. Can't do it anymore.

Plus the M8 looks BAD ASS!!!
Please help.
Suddenly I have weird WiFi problem where, for instance, it won't even connect to my home WiFi. Sometimes it is saying 'Saved' sometimes 'Obtaining IP address' and sometimes 'Connecting'. When I finally get connection, sometimes it just disconnects for no reason (well, there have to be a reason), and again wouldn't connect. For instance, while I am writing this it is Obtaining IP address the whole time.
I couldn't find the pattern in these problems, but someone might be able to help.
Tried resetting modem, phone, clear cashe...
I didn't notice that my MacBook have any issues, nor my LG TV. It works fine there. I'm on 7.1.2.
Hope someone can help.
Cheers.

Have no idea if it is related, but found somewhere online that I might have bad app. Went back and checked what apps I have installed recently, and those were two apps for my new UHD LG TV. Uninstalled them, and problem went away.
Might help someone.

The 5X's wifi sucks. I travel with my Note 4 also since that always connects to available networks, like at hotels or at airports. The 5X will often just do what yours did. I have access to Time Warner hotspots since I have their internet service. But it almost never connects and when it does it usually takes many attempts. My Note 4 would connect so easily that it would connect when I was stopped at red lights or even stop signs. The 5X takes lots of messing around. Adding and forgetting the network. Turning wifi off and back on, etc.
I have the Time Warner app to assist in connecting and that helps. I thought that app interfered with the wifi, so I remove it when travelling, but found it makes no difference.
I did find that Skype Wifi, which allows someone to connect to hotspots around the world and pay using Skype credit, did interfere with the wifi like your apps did. So some hotpots would work without it installed, but wouldn't with it installed. I took it off, but of course I can have in on my Note 4 and have no problems with any wifi hotpots.
I would agree that the 5X wifi sucks. I have issues on my home wifi as well & know it's not the network. My older Nexus 5 connects & stays connected fine. and the 5X will be setting right next to it & be 'obtaining IP" or say "No Internet" -- anyone have any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Enjoying the phone - but not this issue.
I've been having wifi problems since I got mine months ago, my internet connects for 0.5 of a second then disconnects even if I stand beside my router

I had forgotten about an issue with my router, but it affected the router. The 5Gz signal would just disappear after about a day, which would require rebooting the router to restore. I went on vacation and the router made it 3 weeks without needing to be rebooted. So obviously it was the 5X causing the issue. The router manufacturer was going to RMA it, but one of their engineers sent me a beta version of the firmware that ended up fixing the issue, but I can not use any official firmware release. My 5X now, if I put it on the 5Gz signal, will just stay for a while, then I'll look at the phone and it'll have switched to the 2.4Gz signal. So I just let it stay on that. At least the router signal doesn't completely disappear anymore, but the core issue with the 5X is still there.
One of the steps in trying to fix wifi problems used to be setting it to 2.4Gz networks only. 7.0 or some version of the OS took away that option. Someone in the Google forums requested it be put back in, but it doesn't look that that will happen.
It's the phones connectivity it's messed up, and u are able to get it replaced if u got warrienty
I did a factory reset and it does not resolve the issue as I have been having issues for the past month or two. i think its one of the updates that borked it up; but until i roll back idk
If anyone can make your 2.4 band a G type or mixed mode router and leave your ac band alone. I noticed that leaving the connection to G type keeps the connection solid for me and drops go away. I know this is not a solution but until this can be resolved. This didnt happen before and for the like of me it is IMPOSSIBLE to flash older firmware and system images on the POS device. It get stuck on the Google logo.
There was a post awhile ago in a different phone thread for HTC ( yes, i know its not the same ) but there apparently appears to be WiFi 'drivers' or 'radios' if you will and the solution was easy there, but here I think someone with some experience might have to point those out to us. ( its on this page https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...tock-m-firmware-nand-recovery-t3330972/page32 )
I am wondering if using a set of WiFi drivers from 7.1.1 would resolve this issue or not, but I am unsure where to go to find them; anyone?
