Any experience on which rom to use against wifi issues? - Huawei Ascend P6, Mate

Hi guys, newby here.
First of all thanks for all the work you all put in to (help) develop roms for this rare but wonderful phone.
I've had mine for a few months and realy enjoy it being so big
From the start I had trouble with wifi so when I found there was an upgrade I could do, I did. I went from B221 to B907 and indeed, it was better. But It still wasn't as care free as I expect and want it to be. It still keeps being disconnected every now and then, requiring to restart wifi, sometimes for every page reload in a browser, or for each new app I browse in the play store...
I already asked in Q&A if I should wipe more of the phone before installing, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/huawei-ascend-mate-custom-roms-wifi-t2894885
But is there a difference in wifi quality in the roms that are available?
I have tried CM, pacman and HYD52, from this forum and B930 stock. I would give slim rom a go too.

[Q] Can't answer calls on LeeDroid 3.0.3?

I updated to 3.0.3 yesterday and since then I haven't been able to answer calls.
android.phone keeps crashing
any ideas?
What did you install on top of it/what did you delete from it?
'Cause if that was a general bug with the ROM, it'd be all over the thread...
I have revolution HD theme installed on top
i can make calls but can't answer them
I'd go for a reflash of the ROM without flashing the theme. If the problem disappears, you have your reason right there
I get that problem when I flash ports to my phones. Usually the ROMs built for the actual device have less problems. I generally stick with those.
I had that problem with the stock ROM during the final bits of its life. I had to wait like half a minute for the touchscreen to start responding. It would work fine then.
Download the latest version of the theme, the FC problem with phone.apk has been fixed.

[Q] Overheating problems after rom install

This is my first time posting in this, so please excuse me if I put this topic in the wrong place or anything.
Recently I have installed a Cyanogen rom to my phone, upgrading it to 4.4.4 kitkat. Wel, everything went well. Though, recently it has been getting really hot. I mean, before I installed the rom, I was on 4.2.2 and I never had a problem like this. I mainly use my phone for games and my phone has never gotten hot to where the screen is really hot.
I bought a new battery, didn't work. Calibrated it, didn't work. Tried a fresh install, again did not work.
I tried going back to 4.2.2 but no rom that I find works, only one to work is 4.4.2 and it still over heats.
Any advice?

[Q] S4 mini rebooting very often!

Hi all!
First of all thanks for your work..it's awesome!!thanks to you i enjoyed my s plus until some days ago it has broken..very sad day
However i decided to move on with a more modern cel, so i decided for a s4 mini.
But since the beginning i've had lot of problems..
My phone after an original update from samsung started to freeze and reboot..more and more often..i read it could be an issue with original update so i decided to mod my phone since i've had great improvements with my old s plus..
first i installed cm11 but the phone keep rebooting and rebooting ..so i installed cm12 with android l..but the problem is still here!!
the more my phone became hot the more it reboot..it's unusable and i don't know what to do..i'm also begin to doubt it's a hw problem
my warranty is gone with all this mods..so what to do? any others has this kind of problem?
thanks if yo want to answer
People encountering this should perform a factory reset and wipe everything from the phone.
Then, perform a clean install of whichever rom you wish to use, without any additional apps.
I recently encountered an issue with Apex Launcher and a recent update. Android keep crashing and soft rebooting often.. only after a few days did I realise the launcher was the issue. Since I uninstalled the app the phone hasnt restarted once!
Mine restarts after i turn on Mobile Data + GPS for navigation..
It works for a minute and restarts.
I don't know where the problem is either. I tried to flash cm10, 11.. stock 4.2 / 4.4 and nothing seems to get me rid of the problem

Annoying camera and wifi problems with p8000

I got this phone a few days ago and it would be good if it didn’t have 3 annoying problems which are disconnects from wifi (plus it won't reconnect), camera won't open (it says the gallery has stopped working) and google now searches come up blank, the only way to fix these is to reboot the phone and I have to do this 3 times a day, is this a rom problem or a problem with the phone itself? I have the default rom which came rooted

Hi, you should try to flash a new rom (stock rom, or custom rom like eragon). Serveral users have reported similar problems and have solved with a new rom.
If you don't want to install a new rom, you could try first to wipe data (Factory reset)
Regarding to these problems i think you are using the original Stock ROM first version from the 25072015.
This version had a lot of bugs, like the camera problem,... I think you must update the ROM before you can be happy with the P8000.
There is a new Stock ROM published on the 09.09.21015 or some custom ROMs to update your Phone.

Most stable Rom for LG g-pad 7.0 v410?

Hi, I have the latest CM12 installed in my tablet, but I have a lot of issues, especially when installing multiple apps or if I try to change the Launcher. It gets into boot loop and there is nothing one can do but re-flash the rom, which is pretty annoying. It has happened to me already 3 times in a short while and I am thinking of flashing LineageOS. However, I hear it is still very buggy, especially the issues with wifi. So I would like to ask which is the least buggy Rom for 7.0 v410 or if there is a way to avoid CM12 from getting the problem with boot loop.
Boot loop has been caused when trying to change Launcher (because trebuchet regularly crashes), when installing x-plore file manager and in a clean flash when I attempted to install multiple apps at the same time. In all cases it got stack in boot loop, or would start only to restart after a while, endlessly.
Finally, I opted for LineageOS 14.1.
I had the 11-11 Nightly for some time and seemed fine. Today I updated to 25-11 Nightly. It feels maybe slightly laggy, but still checking it.
I have also installed "Best WiFi Keeper" app from play store and it generally keeps me connected. However, if connection is lost (e.g at restart or if I get out of range), I have to reconnect manually. I tried few apps for reconnecting but nothing worked. It appears that although the WiFi network is seen, the tablet cannot really re-establish the connection automatically.
I found Nothing stable yet.. In last few days, I have installed CM 12.1, same trouble.. I installed Tipsy and Tesle, unable to install apps from playstore. Tried CM 13 and Lineage OS latest build as you, Wifi Teathering and USB teathering not working and same problem with wifi connectivity. Keed posted if you find something better.. I shall too...
Tesla works great for me. I'm running a lollipop version that's still on androidfilehost; I'm not sure if GZR ever got updated beyond 5.1 for V410.
I've had CM 14.1 (long enough ago it was still CM and not LOS) on the tablet, and it felt like it would get laggy. That could just be from junk my kid installs though, but I don't seem to have that problem with Tesla.
I installed Tesla (Tesla-v410-5.1.1.High_Voltage.2.2.1-Release-20150902.zip from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347807214) with open G apps but getting errors while installing apps from Play store(Some error code 963 - tried cleaning cache of playstore, play services download manager, removing google account and adding again - Nothing works). Same situation with tipsy. Any help?

That is probably what I'm running, I don't have my tablet right now. I think I flashed it with opengapps nano. I didn't have to do anything unusual to get play store to work.
Tipsy uses the same base as Tesla and Validus. Since it is persisting across multiple flashes and roms, consider formatting the internal storage if it isn't too much hassle, the TWRP wipe where you have to type "yes" to confirm. Sometimes some remnants in userdata that aren't touched by the normal system/data/cache/dalvik wipe cause problems like this and can persist the way you're describing.
Just make sure you have rom and gapps on an external SD or you have confirmed you can push files to the tablet in TWRP over usb via mtp or adb before you blank the internal storage.

I'm on Tesla, but it has the same base as Tipsy. I don't have data on the tablet so it isn't a 100% conclusive test, but it doesn't seem to work. The switch for USB tethering never turns on. Wifi turns on but never connects properly. My laptop does briefly show connection then disconnects with both USB and wifi tethering. It could be because there is no data connection on my tablet, but looking through dmesg on the laptop gives me the impression that something on the tablet isn't working right.

I'm on lineageOs 14.1 which is alright though the wifi issue is still there. However, someone may have found a solution, but I don't know how to implement it. Check posts 207, 210 and 215 in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-...eageos-14-1-v400-lg-g-pad-7-0-t3583952/page22

Would you (or anyone who sees this) please tell me is it possible to flash TWRP if I'm on 5.0.2? Or must I downgrade first?
I'm rooted already. TBH stock is pretty solid and if the custom roms have too many bugs I might pass. But I would like to flash Viper4Android and don't think I've ever installed it without a custom recovery. Many thanks in advance.

I made the same question more or less, over a year ago here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/help-installing-cm-t3483074
You cannot flash another rom over lollipop and I've never seen twrp for android 5.0.2 for v410. I am not 100% sure because my question was a bit different, but I assume from the replies, that probably not.

Thanks. That's more or less what I thought. From what I'm hearing there are some bugs in the roms that no doubt aren't being maintained at this late stage so I think I'll stick with stock (would be nice to have a custom recovery though.)
Not that it matters (a year later) but lots of people root with Kingroot when there isn't another option and there's several ways to remove all the bits left behind and switch it to supersu.
Thanks again!
Well, I have a work around to stop wifi from disconnecting in lineage os. After that I did not know when wifi got disconnected and reconnected.
Just download E-Robot from playstore.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bartat.android.robot
And set it to settings as per screen shot.

It works! Thank you so much! It seems the LOS developers have stopped trying to fix the wifi issue but it is important. The workaround even works at restart, with some delay, but it works!
Just to clarify to newbies like me, where ssid you have to put the name of the network you want to connect. I wonder if one can add more networks, so it can connect to any saved network according to where you are. You think that's possible?

That would be great.. I shall try.. if successful, I shall post results.
I have a uk410, the US Cellular variant of the v410. I tried the CM12.1 "stable" release cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K5-v410.zip found here (archive.org/download/cmarchive_snapshots), along with Open GApps nano for 5.1 (opengapps.org/?api=5.1), and quickly got the infinite rebooting issue.
I then switched to the Telsa ROM mentioned earlier in this thread (Tesla-v410-5.1.1.High_Voltage.2.2.1-Release-20150902.zip) found at androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347807214, again with Open GApps nano for 5.1 (build open_gapps-arm-5.1-nano-20180922.zip), and have been running it with no issues for two days. My wifi is connected, and stays connected (tested two different routers), Play Store and apps have been working fine, and no crashes so far.
I'm using TWRP 3.1 (twrp-3.1.0-0-v410.img).
Thanks for mentioning Tesla, @jason2678 !
So like all of you I was looking for a rom to install on this v410 7" tablet, and it looks like I should just give up or stick with 4.4.2 stock if I want to go through the rooting process.
Basically all the development roms end with the same problems, wifi dropping, hostspot not working, no ir blaster, volume problems, bluetooth errors, and several hundred posts about lolipop memory leaks crippling the tablet because of only 1gb mem.
So, I am asking all of you, is there any real reason to root it, besides going back to stock 4.4.2?
And lastly, is the stock 4.4.2 kdz image that is floating around a test version, and if so is there an actual official kdz image somewhere that isn't a test image?
Thanks...
CrDroid by far in my opinion. Lineage based, 7.1.2.
Also, e/ os has been unofficially released. No Google anything...an entirely new Google list operating system by lineage. It's lightning fast and runs magisk perfectly. It's basically like nothing you've ever seen before and if you look under LG g pad 7.0 on Android file host, go to the second page and click on the last user who goes by the name anonymous and you'll find the ROM there. I had no idea what it was until my g pad boot it up and I saw the e logo. I pretty much **** myself in excitement
