Hello folks,
am i the only person which wants to use 5ghz wifi connections?
Ive tested different 6.0 Roms from the dev section and they all act the same:
95% 5ghz networks wont listed
5% they are listed but wont connected without any reason, they accept the pass and thats all
On Stock Sony Roms 5.x all is great, also on different custom roms with 4.x oder 5.x
How to help devs to find out whats wrong?

two of my INCs are experiencing this same WIFI issues. The signal is dropped every once in a while, and it the phone won't reconnect. I know that the Cyano builds have issues with wifi and there were some work arounds ( like updating the wifi files in roms ), but they were for different phones, so I am affraid to try it on my inc.
have anyone found solution for this problem ?
Does this happen on all wifi networks, or just your own?
all wifi networks. Also the "sleep mode wifi off" is turned off. There are numerous threads about issues with the WIFI on cyano builds, so I know it is not an isolated issue.. I just don't know if there is a fix for it ( for the inc )
Have you tried flashing a different radio or kernel? It may help to do so.
no I haven't.. I never messed with radios or kernels. I just flash to a rom that is available to download. My current Kernel is [email protected] #3 and the radio is 2.15.00.07.28.
are there any other version that you would recommend ?

Your radio is quite old I would try updating it to 2.15.10.07.07. As for the kernel I am not familiar with CM so im not sure what its based on or if it requires that kernel to run. You may want to ask arround the cm forums if their are other working kernels.
Hello everyone,
I owned HTC Desire almost a year ago and used with Cyanogenmod 7 all the time. I wanted to switch to any rom that comes with HTC Sense UI, but everyone makes a trouble establishing connection to wifi (all of them are 2.3 gingerbread). When i want to connect to network is says 'connecting and disconnected', so its impossible to connect. I bought it with radio v5.11.05.14 but upgraded to 5.17.05.23. First i thought it was radio issue, but no problems with cyanogenmod so far. Also downgrading back to previous version didnt solve my problems.
What might be wrong?
I tried:
* Supernova
* Cool3D
* Runny Rom
EDIT: I have just restored stock firmware shipped by device (2.2 Froyo) - yep i've done nandroid (there is even no root access)
And this problem still occurs. I cannot connect to WiFi So, really, the only rom with working wifi is cyanogenmod... What the hell?
EDIT2: After some more investigations looks like Cyanogenmod is able to connect to 802.11n wifi while stock-based mods not (b/g only). Can anyone tell me how is that possible that 802.11n compatible hardware is so limited by stock firmware and if it is normal? I would really like to be able to connect to N-only networks.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Before I get to the main question I want to establish what I do know/have read (correct me where I'm wrong) and what I have tried:
1. Wifi Tethering does work on ICS and up roms, but only in ad-hoc mode.
2. This means that most android devices will not scan and connect to my wifi hotspot because they do not allow ad-hoc connections.
3. In order for said android devices to tether to and connect to a wifi hotspot, the hotspot must support infrastructure mode.
4. One can be enable ad-hoc support on a device trying to connect to the hospot by hacking the wpa supplicant thing (this is where I get fuzzy) on rooted devices.
My devices:
Verizon Incredible 2 (vivow) rooted with s-off
Radio: 1.09.01.0312
Roms tested on:
TSM UKB II 1.3.1
CM10 for the inc2 (aerovan)
IC Tazz Sense 3.6 ICS
Coredroid GB 2.3.5
MIUI 2.7.27 R1 (nitsuj)
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7+ (p6210) non-rooted with 4.0.4 updated via KIES
Radio: Stock
Roms tested on: Stock
Laptop with Wifi Card
What I have tried:
Before I upgraded to ICS on my rooted Inc2, wifi tethering worked fine and was able to connect to my tablet and pc just fine. I was running Coredroid based on a GB 2.3.5 with a modified Sense. This led me to believe that infrastructure mode is supported on the Inc2, it is only software based. Then I initially upgraded to MIUI, and attempted to wifi tether to no avail, so I downloaded and ran the wifi tether apk from code.google.com, and attempted to run it again through a 3rd party app. Neither succeeded. I have tried this with Barnacle from the Play Market based on people's recommendations over in the developer's section and it successfully established an ad-hoc tether, which my pc picked up successfuly, but not my tablet.
I then tried this on an updated Sense (although modified) such as Tazz's and UKB's rom, and the same situation happened. This led me to believe that infrastructure support for wifi tethering isn't related to Sense (from what I understand Sense is just a Rosie apk with aesthetics and widgets only), so I went with an aosp rom such as aerovan's CM 10 (also CM 9 btw), while flashing kernels v12-14 and still no luck.
My Question:
Is there something with ICS and up roms that caused developers to remove infrastructure support from wifi tethering that their older Gingerbread cousins had? Perhaps it's something they haven't gotten around to addressing, and the forums are filled with "works for me" and "doesn't work for me" threads but nobody seems to address the ad-hoc vs infrastructure support (which leads me to believe the people who say it works are referring to ad-hoc and so forth). What can be done to move forward on this subject?
I think that's where kernel source becomes the main key factor. Dont quote me on that but that would be my best guess.
So I found a temporary fix for infrastructure mode tethering on rooted Inc 2s, and it goes back to wireless tether app I mentioned over at code.google.com. For some reason the newest beta releases don't work well with the Inc 2, but the wireless_tether_2_0_8-pre1.apk experimental build does successfully connect android devices and data streams through it.
If someone can pass this along to the devs over in the android development section that'd be great so they can take a look at the apk (assuming they didn't ) and maybe integrate it into their next rom interations.
Happy tethering!
Got my phone rooted and installed CyanogenMod version 10-20121125-NIGHTLY-toroplus. now WiFi will not connect. It will see the networks and save them, but will not connect. It will broadcast as a WiFi hotspot.
Any idea on how to get it working again?
I suggest updating to a stable release I am running the most current version with virtually no problems

I tried 4 different releases and no WiFi was the best result, so I went back to the stock ROM rooted
Tried posting in cm thread? Could be rom related

I had the same issue with many cm based roms. I switched to aokp based roms and problem with Wi-Fi has been solved. I hope you will find the right Rom for you soon

Hi Folks,
Wifi is dropping when the phone is sleeping on the HTC One M8 GPE on 4.4.4, 5.0.x Official and Unofficial ROMS like CM12.
I also know im not the only one as per the thread here (Not me who started that incidentally):-
http://www.reddit.com/r/htcone/comments/2rcga0/htc_one_m8_gpe_501_wifi_issue_anyone/
Its not the Keep Wifi On during sleep option as that is set to Always. Its not the router as all other devices are working absolutely fine.
I've tried setting 2.4ghz only, different wifi authentication modes (WPA only, WPA2 Only, WPA/WPA2, TKIP / Auto / AES etc) no help.
I've tried the official 5.0.1 ROM, CM12 at 5.02, and CM back at 4.4.4 again - all the same issue.
I suspect the issue is with the firmware on the GPE RUU which i originally installed here:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708589 (Incidentally my cidnum is GOOGL001)
Im thinking about flashing an RUU for stock 4.4.4 which should include an older firmware for the Wifi but i wondered if anyone had found a solution to this issue?
Also, im wondering if there is anyone on GPE who doesnt have this issue and converted, can i ask if you used the rooted or unrooted version of the ruu?
Flashed the 4.4.4 RUU after mucking about with this for weeks. (Note simply using a 4.4.4 ROM like CM12 obviously wasn't enough.)
Problem gone.
So it's a firmware issue with the 5.0.1 RUU.
Got to say, despite not being on lollipop any more, having xposed, gravitybox, working WiFi and I'm wondering why I put up with lollipop for so long.
I'm having the same issue on gpe 5.1, so there's nothing we can do to fix it?
