[Q] WiFi connection issues on AmeriCanAndroid - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I have been using AmeriCanAndroid for a few days now and have found that I have some serious WiFi connection issues. I connect to my home network with excellent signal, but after approximately a minute, it disconnects, then after another 30 seconds or so, reconnects to the same network with the same signal strength.
I have tried connecting to the same network on windows and it is perfectly fine. Also, the same issue occurs with other networks elsewhere when booted into AmeriCanAndroid. Other Android builds I have tried have not had this issue, so it must logically be something to do with the one I am currently using.
I have tried rebooting multiple times, as well as Re-installing (I only deleted SD Card files and re-copied the previously downloaded Android folder), but the issue persists. Could anyone please suggest a possible solution, as I have gathered throughout the forums that AmeriCanAndroid is easily the fastest, smoothest and most battery efficient build released.

the rom is italian
is italian the rom?

Sorry, but I don't quite understand what you mean? I downloaded the build from the thread in the forums and everything seems to be English.
Edit: saw that there's an update available to download. Downloaded it and found that it WORKS!

WiFi error - "Unable to scan for networks" - multiple NAND roms

Hey all,
I'm usually pretty good at figuring these types of things out, but unfortunately I haven't been able to figure this one out yet.
Wifi works fine in WinMo 6.5 and WinPhone 7. I haven't tried SD version of Android, but I'd rather not go that route as I want to be able to use a fully functioning NAND version of Android.
I have done Task29/wipe data/cache/dalvik cache on many occasions, repartitioned, reinstalled WinMo 6.5 and then started over with MAGLDR (latest version), replaced wifi module libraries, but nothing has proven to work. Everything else is perfect, though.
Somebody has to have experienced this before? I couldn't find much in terms of a solution by searching.
Thanks!
What HD2 Radio version are you using?
What Android ROM are you using?
Have you made sure that it is a MAGLDR version you are trying to install, not the cLK version?
Why would you need to replace the WiFi module librarys as your ROM should work without error after installation?
A bit more info and we should be able to sort this one out!

Hey. Thanks for joining!
- Radio 2.15.50.14 and one of the older ones which was installed when I picked up this phone
- Roms:
NDT MIUI Froyo V6.2 currently.
Tried [CWR] BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA_GINGER 2.3.4-Sense.s V29 (12.Jun), CMYLXGO's Stock Desire HD(2) NAND ROM v1.1.17 and a few others i can't remember. All MAG versions.
I tried replacing the libs, because i've read that as part of a fix for related wifi problems from earlier this year.
Thanks!

You have the most common Radio 2.15.50.14 so that isn't the problem.
The fix is mainly for cLK versions so it could use the PPP interface but if you are using MAGLDR then that isn't needed - this alone could be your problem, I reccomend not installing this patch any more?!
I play with roms a lot and normally my errors are due to using a kernel which the rom wasn't developed for - or more recently, frequent drops to the internet.
When my drops happened, I had done nothing different but it seems that a change in CM7 source now addressed my routers security settings differently - I have no idea when it was added and I was lucky enough to find a firmware update for my router which solved the problem.
Out of interest, when you click on wifi, does it say error or does it try to connect and randomly drop? Error would indicate a kernel/radio/hardware problem and dropping or not connecting would possibly indicate router problem.
Possibly, one of the best places to start is the security settings of your router, disable all security and see if it will connect... if it does then apply security - I use WPA2 PSK TKIP and it now works for me!
NDT MIUI Froyo V6.2 & CMYLXGO's Stock Desire HD are quite old (In terms of development), BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA_GINGER 2.3.4-Sense.s V29 is new and updated frequently so i'm unsure why all would have the same problem?!?!.
You could also try my rom located in my signature "HardDroid2" as I have extensively tested this and have no problems (Not trying to punt my rom at all!).
If changing your router settings or no other roms work then it is beyond me as there are only a few combinations af possible hardware/software faults!
Hope this helps
Already installed Is the phone supposed to boot in Airplane mode enabled for the first boot?
Ok, unfortunately the same issue with WiFi. What happens when i turn wifi on is it takes about 15 seconds for the check to appear in the box, then it stays on for about 15 more seconds with no networks showing, then it turns off automatically. The same thing with every rom I've tried, unless I start messing with libs or conf files at which point I get "error" or it doesn't turn on at all.
Thanks!

Ummmm... NOPE!
I think your problem is with your radio rom. I would reccomend starting from scratch!
This is what I do and it works fine for me:
Prep SD Card: Format FAT32 and also create a 1GB Ext3 Partition (For apps2SD if needed)
Copy the rom update.zip to FAT32 partition of SD Card & Insert into phone.
Run HSPL3_PKG.exe and install HSPL 2.08
Flash Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14
Run Task 29 - wipe phone
Install MAGLDR 1.1.3
start device (Hold down power button until menu list appears) choose USB Flasher
Install Recovery 150MB System/5MB Cache (ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.0)
Start MAGLDR (Hold down power button until menu list appears) Select "AD Recovery"
Boot ClockworkMod and install update.zip from SD Card.
I'm not trying to teach you how to suck eggs... but maybe there is a little step you may of missed?!?!?

I would reccomend re-downloading the files, especially the radio rom as I have a feeling it may be corrupted - don't know why it would work on WP7 though??
Use the HSPL3_PKG.exe to install HSLP 2.08 as it is regarded as the best.
I use Loader 2.10 KSubedi (MAGLDR 1.1.3 Debranded) just for asthetic reasons.
We will get there!!! lol
Same deal, unfortunately. I've noticed that the mac address is "unavailable" at all times, including the 10 secs the wifi is actually on (according to the switch)

Did you re-download the radio from here?: http://www.multiupload.com/QP0IWGY42F
I don't understand why your wifi works under wm6.5 (which installs during flashing rom) & WP7 (which runs the same way as android nand) but not under android... I would of classed it as a corrupted file and im completely at a loss!!!!
It can't be a hardware fault and there isn't any differences in earlier/later versions of the HD2's wifi module!!!
OK, I admit it.... I'm stumped!

If you install the latest rom and then task 29, you still have the radio version which installed with the rom as task 29 doesn't touch that section!
I remember a couple of years ago when I changed the wifi module on a PSP that it no longer held a mac address when using original Sony firmware... has your device been in for repair?
Just a thought really, i'm grabbing at straws since it really doesn't make sense to me!

I'm not sure about its history as I bought it used. Tomorrow is another day with more opportunities to resolve this issue.
Nothing changed by me installing a stock T-mobile WinMo 6.5 then going through the process of converting to NAND android. I found out that I'm not able to save a manual Wi-Fi network entry. Maybe this is a clue for the problem?
Thanks!

Well looking into the kernel, it seems that it will create a custom MAC address for each device to get past the 00:11:22:33:44:55 issue (I don't know what variables it would use to create this but possibly imei???)
There are no really adjustable settings in wpa_supplicant.conf which would help (As far as I can see)
Since you aren't showing a MAC address, it would indicate a problem with your hardware (as no other device has this problem) But why Windows roms would still work is beyond me and the only change in hardware revisions over the life of the HD2 has been to the lcd screen and not the radio hardware.
I have searched and tried to find more information on this but i'm unable to find a conclusive answer or solution
Here is a thought: Download the files which I use from here: http://www.andbuddy.com/files/FOBBu1308083933.html
This contains all the files which I use and a small guide - Please follow ALL the steps as this has given me a 100% working device!
If it still doesn't work after this then I will have to admit that i'm beaten

Wi-Fi Drivers, libs

I want to know have can i solve my wifi problems without installing new rom on it.
What is the wireless driver, where are they in my system files?
We can fix the camera issues with changing camera lib files. Can i do that for wifi?
Wifi Problem is ;
I can connect wifi, first it was work fine. After several minutes it dropped and not connect any internet, after several seconds it reconnectted. It always keep going this way.
Can you please help me on this?
What ROM version are you running?
B137 stock and modaco.com/content/huawei-u8800-ideos-x5-u8800-modaco-com/342205/23-june-b137-r3-flb-custom-rom-for-the-huawei-u8800-with-online-kitchen/
I have two of them on my clockwork recovery. Both of them have same issue. I want to try other roms, but its too hard for me to give the time for each rom. So i want to try other roms wifi libs, driver, firmwares.
Not a fan of 137s I've tried so far...You should try these versions:
- V100R001C00B136 (Overseas General version) 2011-05-17
- V100R001C17B160CUSTC17D002 (China Unicom) 2011-04-29
http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Huawei_Firmware_U8800
To install any of the ROMs, just download the Huawei Firmware you want and unzip it, there should be a folder called "dload" copy that folder and its contents to your sdcard.
Power off phone then hold both volume buttons while powering on the phone, the update should start.
I don't understand why you think it's easier to change a lib/driver and spend a huge amount of time trying to get it to work, when it takes 30 minutes to install a new ROM and all previous applications, if synced with a Google account. When I first got the phone, I've installed like 6-7 ROMs in a matter of hours...
So, in my opinion, you should try the B160 or B136 before you actually start fiddling around with libs.

Are you read my first post ? I Don'T want to try roms. Install new rom, try wifi, over and over. End when find it, wait for the all install downloaded. Chancge launcher and other apps to what you want. It is just boring. I try 4 different froyo roms and nothing seems worked. If i know the what file i must replace, i just have time. Many many more time.

I don't understand a thing from your post. Are you understand me?
IF IS A WINDOWS, I CAN CHANGE DRIVER FROM SYSTEM32/DRIVERS. Or install new driver for it. Newer roms are for WHO ? Mine and other my friends in turkey, have same problem. Even they updated the B137 with updata.app from original sources.
Please if you don't know or understand my post, just leave it to be. Obviosly i can't decribe my problem to you.
The whole windows thing was a comparison...All I was trying to say is that upgrading drivers is NOT EASY, as the problem may not be in the lib file.
You better go and learn some ENGLISH, before you try and understand the answers you're given. ) quote "Are you understand me?"
Very very few people have wifi problems like you are experiencing. This isn't to say it doesn't happen as obviously you are having issues, but it's not a rom issues. It's likely that your problem is either a hardware issue with the phone or an issue with your router settings.
Currently there aren't any alternative wifi libs you can try since all the roms are using exactly the same wifi libs which are located in the kernel image, not the system.
I've been experiencing the same problem -international B136 ROM- however I think it may be the router that is the cause of it. Whilst in the main house with the new wireless g router, no issues, everything works fine. In my extension with the old wireless b router the problem happens all the time.
The problem doesn't really bother me to much, but I thought I'd add my 2 cents just in case you were after some more information on the issue =)

Definitely, if you've got something like B133, the first thing you have to do is upgrade to 136-137 or 160. You will see huge improvements in terms of Wifi.
is there any problem in b136 or b160? Which one should i apply?
In my view, the best of stock ROMs is B160. The battery lasts longer and it's got less problems.
how can i see my rom version? and do u send offical b160's link?
Go to Settings >>About Phone and scroll down to Build Number. It should look like this U8800V100R001C00B133SP01 and the bit that interests you is B133 or whatever version you've got.
Since Modaco Wiki is down, try this link:
http://www.filefactory.com/f/0f067250fb54623e/
B160 is called China Unicom in that list.

CM7 Kang Wifi Problems

Thread to discuss how to solve wifi problems on cm7 kangs with the new kernel & wifi driver, like my kang here: http://kan.gd/1h7f
updated: wifi problem fixed, fix here: http://kan.gd/1h8g flash with clockworkmod.
problem with phone not waking up after long calls still exists, that will be fixed tomorrow.
Wbaw, I installed your latest KANG (cm-7.2.0-blade-KANG-wbaw-120225), and also have the same wifi problem, like here. (Can not post there, because I haven't got the 10 posts)
Wiped and format everything before install. It says "scanning...connecting...disconnected". I've tried everything from changing the encryption, to changing the SSID, nothing helped. I have a Linksys WAG54GS router, "G" network, channel 10 - 2.457GHZ, encryption is WPA2-PSK. Attached a logcat log from boot, if it helps recognizing what's the problem.
With other KANG and with older kernel & wifi driver, my phone connects to my home wireless network.
Thank you for your help!

I'll probably have to make a couple of test kernels for you, it looks like the new wifi driver is failing. It's either the new driver & kernel source or wifi undervolting, but I don't think it's due to undervolting.
You can also try this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22887053&postcount=92 it's the same except I removed some useless looking files from the wifi driver for the kang, they're in that package.
I'll make a couple of packages tomorrow for testing.
If you have any problems with my kernel, please use the issue tracker, open an issue there & I can respond: https://github.com/John-Kenney/zte-turies-35/issues
I will open an issue in the issue tracker tomorrow.
Right now i have to get data back from my SD card, because i accidentally formatted it...
You probably know that by now, that the new wifi driver works only with 802.11b network, so if your router was set to "G-only", the phone could not connect. Of course mine was set to that. I set to "mixed", and it connects without problem.
Can't wait to test your kernel for the GPU overclock Thanks!
Seems strange, it seems to connect at 'g' speeds for me, but my router is set to 11b/g/n auto.
It looks like the new wifi driver causing the problem rather than the kernel, unfortunately I think it's the only wifi driver that works with the new kernel source.

[Q] Need help for Wifi

Hi guys
I've searched a lot without having responses, to get Wifi to work
When I use WinMob, GB or Froyo Builds, everything works fine.
With every ICS, JB or CM ( GB too ) Build which I tested, Wifi won´t start.
In every Build when I activate Wifi, it's stuck on "Wi-Fi Scanning" and no networks on the list.
After this the Button for Wifi is grey.
I tested a lot of NativeSD haret and SD Builds and cannot find the problem.
This problem appears with or without SIM Card and Wifix Manager didn´t worked.
My Router has no MAC Filter and switching the Channels from AUTO to any Number didn´t solved the problem.
Please help!

Extremly Slow Lumia950

Hey guys, i have a friend who has an extremly slow Lumia 950, stuff like loading up Facebook takes from 1-4 minutes and basic apps are really slow. Any tips on what this might be?
The phone is running OS Build: 10.0.10586.420 Version 1511
did use apps installed on SD card? maybe SD card is slow? i notice some card not initialize right in W10M (no matter which Lumia) and need few times to format card in phone to start work fine
also try flash latest firmware with Windows Device Recovery Tool (WDRT maybe say you have already latest but flash it). many problems with my 950XL solved with this...
Other possibilities include a weak WiFi signal is being used by the device instead of a faster cell s This may very depending on your location in the house. Try disabling WiFi to see if it helps
Other actions would be a soft reset, then hard reset, the re-flashing as the previous suggestion.
