wifi disconnects: Which ROM to use? - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hello All,
like other people I'm facing wifi disconnects when the phone screen is off. When it happens the phones switches to LTE although wifi signal strength is good. Of course wifi options are set to "always on". I had these wifi drops with the original OOS and with the official CM13 ROM. I assume both use the same wifi driver in the kernel.
Did anybody had the same issue and found a ROM which solved the problem?
Any help is much appreciated!

Freedomos seems to be stable with good wifi performance. Orion is also very good with connectivity.

wifi problem 2.3.3

Regards
I have a problem with wifi after I put update on 2.3.3
whether it can solve this problem with wifi.
I always shoot and it turns the wifi network.
be a good wifi network signal then disappears
Same problem here
This is a very serious problem. Get ur act together HTC, this is just unacceptable!
Are you rooted? HTC raised the signal strength at which the connection would be dropped, there is a fix if you are rooted, otheewise you are stucm and will have to wait for HTC to correct this.
Sent from my Desire HD
Have you tried another radio? of course be careful if you do change it
same issue, though htc say that its a "new feature" to provide a seamless mobile broadband experience by automatically chosing the strongest signal. whatever you say htc
i just disable mobile data at home, so it cant jump back to 3g and stays on wifi. the annoying thing with this is that i forget to enable mobile data when leaving the house.
i hope they sort it out, and that this new feature isn't rolled out across their other products
I am having the same problem. At work, my wifi connection is weak, but was always functional. Now, I cannot connect to my work wifi. On top of that, my battery drains twice as fast on my phone, and I'm thinking that it's due to the phone always scanning and trying to connect to the wifi signal. If it's true that HTC changed the level at which the wifi signal is dropped, this was a terrible decision.

I think this may answer/point to the problem I'm having since installing the Gingerbread RUU. I use the quick settings app from the market and pre-gingerbread it used to switch between wi-fi/mobile pretty seemlessly, turning off the unused option. Now if there's no wi-fi connection that option seems to stay on (probably searching) while it's connected to mobile data. As above, my battery is draining like a sieve.

Same problem for me with Original Rom.
so i tried the Revoloution HD 5.1.4 and same problem again!
Hi guys until HTC release an OTA fix (that's if they do) the only way to resolve this is to root and then try some different ROM and radio combinations until you find one that works for you.
I find the ROM and radio from my signature work really well on WiFi but if you are going to do this make sure and root, gain S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. Also make sure you have the correct RIL for the ROM and radio that you are using
There are lots of threads on the dev section that guide you through this.
Wifi connecting
I have a similar problem with wifi connection. Only it doesn't disconnect during a connection but when establishing a wifi connection it takes much longer than it used to on Froyo. Anyone else noticed this?
i have problem too with wifi
I really hope htc has stopped the updates and resumes with a new build with the wifi problem fixed
The issue is with the Gingerbread Sense ROMs.

WiFi problems with routers
Hi there,
Same problem here. Both my WiFi router and phone say signal and reception quality are perfect and connection it stable, but data won't flow.
I'm having this problem with my Speedtouch (WEP key) router at home, whereas a Sitecom router at the office works fine (WPA etc. key).
Tried some work arounds, without success
Regards
***EDIT***
I can add that it has nothing to do with the reported threshold of -88dB signal strength. As I checked that with the *#*#4636#*#* option and both higher and lower values of the WiFi reception don't make any difference. The problem persists.
***EDIT v2***
The suggestion posted elsewhere to change from WEP to WPA didn't work out either
***EDIT v3***
Reverted back to ARHD 3.7 and WiFi is running fine again .
Hope some fix will be found soon!
Regards,
Is there any solution. I am trying to downgrade the radio but no chance.
If I use LeeDroid or Revolution will this same problem be there?

[Q] 5GHz Wi-Fi goes off when idle

Dears,
I noticed that when I'm connected to a 5GHz network WiFi disconnects after several minutes idle.
Anybody else noticed this?
Any fix?
Thanks and best regards
Sounds like Energy Savings management ... "Turn WLAN off if not needed".
Unfortunately I can't remember if there's any "Keep WLAN connection alive" setting in Android 4.2.x and, if yes, where it is. I remember earlier versions of my SGS1 (Android 2.3.x) had such an option.
There's, but it doesn't affect 5GHz, it should but it doesn't...
If you have a N7100 and 4.1.2 rom, then it is actually a bug. You will need to either disable PSM or use 4.1.1 drivers.
Sorry, what is PSM?
Power Save Mode. Check this out http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-n...o-fix-wifi-hanging-problems-on-galaxy-note-2/
Now it is stable, but what about performance?
I have an average of 2.20Mbps. 2.4GHz is still superior close and far from ap...
Tks!

Wifi, BT and poor coverage drain my battery

Hi, I have the nexus 5x since Oct 2016.
With wifi, BT or poor coverage, y consumption is high. Minimum of 1,5%/hour. With mobile data 0,2%/hour. Perhaps with poor coverage is normal, but I don't understand why it happens with Wifi (At home (2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz) and at work (5Ghz)). I have tested multiples cases.
I have had 7.0 (stock), 7.1(stock), 7.1.2 (Dev), without root and with root + (Franco kernel or ElementalX kernel) + naptime. I have desactivate Wifi scaning on location. I never see the flat line in battery graph with Wifi.
I use the app "gsam battery" to see the battery graph.The kernel and Android system are the first app suckers, I think it's normal. I don't see anthing unusual in battery graph. The mobile go to sleep mode correctly.
What would be the problem? What new tests I can do?
Thanks
Question: Are you using Project Fi, or any other carrier that allows for WiFi calling/texting?
To clarify: I don't think Project Fi is the culprit, but I may have a solution that I've been testing.
A common complaint that goes back to my N5 running Kit Kat. The fix was to force the device to only use 2.4Ghz Wifi, however since 7.0 Google has removed that option.
Changing router's or updating the router firmware has helped some in the past but not for me.
Does your device Doze properly on a mobile data connection also? And does wifi occasionally idle properly, say when switching back and forth between wifi and cell data? That's the case for me currently, and you know something's wrong when a 3G connection idles better than Wifi.
I'm not using Project Fi, or any other carrier that allows for WiFi calling. My carrier is vodafone, a normal carrier.
I have tested a router with 2.4Ghz only, but the problem persists.
Doze works correctly with mobile data connection and Wifi. I can see the mobile go to sleep mode correctly in both cases.
But in idle mode, wifi use a 1.5%/hour and mobile data 0.2%/hour, but I don't see nothings strange in the graphs or stadistics.
What I can I try?

Ya sounds exactly like the issue I was describing. The fix used to be to force the device to only pick up 2.4Ghz connections but Google took the option away ever since 7.0. Being on a network they only transmits 2.4Ghz doesn't help as the device is still listening to and picking up 5Ghz signals.
There is no known fix that I'm aware of. I don't think Google considers it their problem, they would likely say it's a router compatibility issue and tell us to upgrade our router firmware.

Wifi issue

Hello community,
1. I have a low wifi signal - about 10-12 dbm less then my old lg g3 or lg g5 or galaxy j7 pro - seams it is just an integrated wifi antenna issue and there is no way to fix it
2. When scanning wifi networks I have a very not stable results: even when the signal is excellent about 55-60dbm the ssid is appear and goes all the time occasionally - seams it is a wifi driver bug
Especially I see it when using WIFI analyzer.
Couple of days before I opened thread with Sony support and don't have answer.
I must have the WI-FI card working well !
Someone have the same issues?
Someone have any ideas about fixing the low wifi signal ?
Thanks,
p.s the wifi connection is stable with day by day standard usage.

hi
I CANT EVEN USE WIFI
like u said,i found my signals are very weak at the first.
i think its just a bug and didnt care about it
however 1 week later my phone suddenly cannot connect to any wifi.all the wifi spots are shown as almost no signal and it will repeat"connecting,saved"'
and i found this is a serious problem,used Xperia companion to fix that
But it didnt work and i couldnt turn on the wifi option now.
it will reboot when im trying to turn on the wifi option.
i think its likely to be a hardware issue,but my LTE worked very well without problem.
im very Confusing now

Wifi speed problem

After the last pie update, wifi speed is not good enough.
When i test speed with oakla, its almost 5mbits. If i turn off location, everything is normal. If i turn on location wifi speed is getting worse. There was no problem at oreo. Is there any solution about that problem?
Do you have bluetooth on? I found out that when m bluetooth is on, WiFi conwction ia really bad. This os only on pie.

Hello,
Do you have the same problem on your computer ? If yes try to restart your box.

I've the same problem here...
WiFi + localization on = slow wifi performance 5/7 mbits
WiFi + localization off = normal wifi performance 50/55 mbits
The problem is after pie update.
there is no difference after February 19 update. that is terrible. shame on Xiaomi
For me, it seems as the problem is not localization but Bluetooth. When I turn off bluetooth, it's normal speed and when Bluetooth is on, it drops to incredibly slow speed. Altough localization might interfere with it, because it uses Bluetooth, I don't think it's the root cause.
Also, it is not only the speed between a router and the Mi A2 Lite that is slow, but also the connection from Mi A2 Lite as hotspot to any other connected device.
For me this issue all resolved when I installed a new router at home. I know this isn't a proper solution but if you have a backup router, give it a try.
After bluetooth is off,i have fast wifi,when bluetooth is on wifi is slow speed.
Some news about a soluzion? I have same problem.
For me the only solution is to use 5GHZ wifi.
For me, it appears to happen when I use both. I used to have always localization on and bt off but recently I bought a mi band I that forced me to enable bt aswell. Wifi speeds decreased a lot since that. Now I tested and with only one of them off it works great but with both, it doesn't.

You on stock ROM, and what version?
On Android Pie (stock, at least), it is a known problem that turning on Bluetooth or GPS will decrease WiFi connectivity and also some users reported that it will decrease Internet speed too. Hopefully Android 10 and / or incoming updates will fix it but this is Xiaomeme were talikng about, and Xiaomeme + AndroidOne = bugs and Xiaomeme's 'don't care' attitude.

I tested mine. Wifi speed stayed same when i connect my Mi Band 4.
But Bluetooth increases the Ping.
