Latest update killed wifi - Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My wifi was ok as I had moved the ouya and was able to get a good signal.
The update prior to this one made it so I had to require the wifi every time I put the ouya to sleep to get good speeds back. My wifi signal would go from 70 dbm to 80 durIng sleep.
The newest update makes it so the signal drops like that after a matter of minutes.
I am back down to only getting .5 Mbps which makes xbmc unusable.
I've had this issue with beta cm10 mages on other devices but it went away by the time a stable release was out.
Any suggestion on anything to try.

[Q] wifi issues

Well I have been having some major wifi issues as off late. I have wiped and reinstalled various roms and nothing has seemed to fix. Right now I am running cm nightlies.
My wifi is EXTREMELY slow. At my house I get 12M/1M on my computer (which is wireless) and on my phone I can get anywhere from 500-2500kb down and from 0-750 up. When doing speedtests it freezes on both the upload and download and sometimes will not finish upload test and give me latency of 999.
I have used my wifi in various locations (home, work, hospital) with the same result: my 3g speeds are way better than my wifi.
What are some things that I can do to attempt to resolve this? If it matters my kernel is: 2.6.34.5-cyanogenmod.

Wifi issue on android 2.3.5

Ok, I have seen this on 2.3.5 builds of CM7, Deck's ROM and OMFGB. What is going on with wifi on 2.3.5? It's causing some kind of wakelock apparently. Look at the right hand side of the battery graph and compare the "awake" to "wifi" time. I had my wifi to sleep when the screen turns off, so it went away when wifi was turned off. But then if I connect to wifi again with the screen off, it causes wakelock. Is this a known issue? I have tried googling and can't find anything about this. Surely I can't be the only one.
On Sense roms I can leave my wifi sleep policy as "never" and it doesn't cause any issues.
I'm using the CM7 nightly build 180 (2.3.5). I'm using Tiamat Kernel SBC. My WIFI sleep policy is set to never. It's been unplugged for about 8 hrs 45 minutes and connected to my WIFI. It's been on standby for the most part and it's at 99%.
WiFi totally unrealiable on the AT&T Atrix 2 (MB865)

I too am seeing all sorts of issues with WiFi on my Atrix2 (MB865) which is also running Android 2.3.5. As a matter of fact, I have TWO of these, because my wife got one also, and it has the same problems. To be specific, both phones will drop 128Kbps streams and fall back to 24Kbps, if the alternate slower speed is offered. This constant dropping of audio stream is the most annoying problem, but the phone also will spontaneously disable WiFi. After manually re-enabling, it can take up to a minute to reconnect to the AP (the happens at home and at work).
When connected, a speed test might show something like ~100Kbps down. But disabling and reconnecting a few times will help get it back to a good ~20Mbps down again. Sometimes when connected ad showing a FULL STRENGTH WiFi status icon, I am still not able to get any data whatsoever, just as if the WiFi is not even enabled. Examining this with WiFi Analyzer shows that it detects no AP's whatsoever, even while the status icon shows a FULL STRENGTH connection. Again, disabling/enabling can correct this issue.
Just to prove it's not my home AP, I have an old HTC Hero running a CM7 nightly build from 9/1/11 kernel 2.6.29-6 (which is also Android 2.3.5).
My old HTC Hero connects quickly/flawlessly and holds a constants steady 128Kbps stream all day without fail.
Why can't these carriers (AT&T in this case) put out a reliable Android build. I can't help it, but my paranoid mind makes me think it could be purposefully done to force customers to use precious bytes form their costly data plans. They certainly would have no incentives to make WiFi work efficiently.
Anybody got an ETA on CM7 for this phone?

[Q] Poor signal on ICS roms, AOSP especially

Can anyone help with an issue I get using AOSP/ICS roms. On a GB rom I normally get 1-4 bars of signal in my house, 3G speed is fairly rubbish but it does work. Whenever I flash any version of CM9 or AOKP I get 0-2 bars of signal, and mostly no mobile data.
The phone can be sitting on a table and show 2 blue bars, often if I pick it up it will change to none and give me network errors. I can normally still send texts and make calls when it is like this, just no data and things like Play Store fail to connect.
Calk's ICS rom may be a little better, but not much (the signal meter on Calk's bounces between 1x and 3G along with low bars).
Switching back to a GB rom I get all my signal back and the slow but actually working 3G. I have tried several modems on both GB and ICS and they show no difference in behaviour (I have tried EL29, FD10, FD16)
Since I have wifi at home it's not a real issue for data, however it seems to kill the battery searching for a signal. The "Time without a signal" shows 20-30% most of the time on ICS, vs 0% on GB.
Any ideas on why ICS roms are giving me no signal?
Cheers,
Richard
I've been getting the same thing but the connection seems to be the same as when I was getting more bars on GB. This is especially true when I'm using Wi-Fi. I'll get one bar of signal strength but it is still fast and I'm nor having connection problems.

i'm having a similar problem, only difference is that mine on ICS was working fine untill i softbricked and restoring back to ICS using CFRoot.. now i (just like you) have 0-2 bars, and have tried dozens of modems and kernels to fix the problem..
eh, maybe i should go back to GB too - see if that fixes my problem
If you search around these forums you'll find something bout getting rid of proxies that the sprint server uses... some people have reported great success and increased service while others have had no noticeable difference, I myself haven't gotten around to trying it, bit I still plan to, sorry I'm mobile right now and can't find the post, I'll see bout linking it when I get home

Here is the thread he's referring to I believe:

I've done this on a couple phones and I've gotten good improvements each time. It will only affect your 3g speeds and not 4g, and it's not a guaranteed improvement.. there are many factors that can affect. Check your speeds before and after to see if it helps you or not! =)

Slow Wi-Fi after WW_2.20.40.97_20150917 update?

I did a search and didn't find anything. I've been updating my ZE551ML and keeping it completely stock. I am on the latest update (WW_2.20.40.97_20150917) and did a Factory Reset for a clean start. I realized after setting up my Wi-Fi again that speeds are extremely slow; <20 Mbps. This is on both the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands, and even if I put it in the Performance Battery mode.
Is anyone else seeing similar and if so, did it start with this update or something earlier?
Is it because of the location? For me, Wi-Fi working normally (at least didn't affect my daily use) except for in my room which is not very far from the router. I get 3 to 4 bars wifi, but it will stop working for sometime and speed is very slow I can't even watch a video without being interrupted. If I walk out of my room, speed is back normal. It's like my room is protected against wifi

It is definitely something up with my ZF2. I have plenty of other devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network that get appropriate speeds. I'm pretty sure it also got great Wi-Fi speeds when I first got it, but this is the first time I re-checked the speeds after all of the various software updates since release, plus a Factory Reset.
FYI, after some additional testing as well as downgrading the firmware, this seems to be some sort of weird interaction between my router/access point and the ZF2.
I'm currently using the T-Mobile CellSpot (basically a ASUS RT-AC68 with T-Mobile custom firmware) in Access Point mode, and what I've been able to determine is that the ZF2 seems to be speed-limited when connected to the "normal" SSIDs (I have separate ones for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). I have configured guest SSIDs (which have Internet access but not local LAN access) and when connected to those the speeds are as expected.
Really doesn't make much sense to me since it is the same wireless radio on the router. But at least I can reproduce it definitely at this point.
Some time lag )

My ZE551 ML is also facing some issues after the final update WW_2.20.40.97_20150917. Cellular data is not working. All the buttons are working and on but arrows are not displayed and no data transfer and status says Cellular network status-Disconnected.
poor clarity in voice calls to the receiver and slow system respond with even phone book app.
Expecting a kind support ....

4.1.0 bad 4G speeds / frequent disconnects

I work out in the middle of nowhere, there is one cell tower and usually I get slightly more than half bars. My connection isn't great as it is.
When I updated to 4.1.0 tho I noticed I frequently had to reset my data connection (toggle airplane mode on and off) to get data to work faster than a snails pace. After a couple days of this I downgraded my modem back to 4.0.3 and my data works again as normal.
I also had my pebble smartwatch lose connection for the first time, repeatedly, on 4.1.0. on 4.0.3 I never had this problem.
Has anyone else experienced these issues​? I know 4.1.0 was supposed to improve wifi and bluetooth but I haven't seen much criticism, maybe it's just me? I will have to test again when I'm in the city again.
Edit:
For those having modem issues there is a list of flashable modems here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/radio-modem-collection-flashable-zips-t3468628

Same thing as you op downgraded modem to the same you did its more stable but still drops out
