[Q] Wi-Fi Problem

Hello,
I've installed on my X8 Froyo Pro v01 for X8 (Revised from FroyoBread) from XDA-RK. The rom works fine except that im having a problem with the wi-fi. In his features he says "Wi-Fi "n" Standard enabled" and when i tried to connect to my router after the installation of the rom the router actually crashed! No connection was warking even with ethernet. I've tried this a couple times (by restarting the router) but without luck. What i did in order to make it work and connect to wireless is that i change the wi-fi in the router to use mixed mode for B/G devices. I was wondering if there's a way to disable the N setting in X8 or do something else in order to make it work.
Thanks in advance.

It should work it work for me. Anyway try to change standard in settings of your router

That's what I did to make it work actually as I said. I had to change the wifi mode to work for Mixed Mode B/G devices only. Previously was on Mixed Mode (B/G/N devices).
When I used Froyobread 0.23b the wifi was working perfectly without changing anything in the router. I think it has to do with the "N standard" feauture that was added on Froyopro but im not sure. I've searched if there was an option to disable it but either i cant find or it doesnt exist (for now at least).

Search forum fie tweaks! There is a tweak for enabling n standard so you can disable it

never experienced it.. im using edimax btw... try deleting the remembered configure and make new configurations

did you make a full wipe after installing the Rom?

Yes I always do a full wipe when changing roms for these kind of problems. I'll check the tweak so i can disable N standard

You mean the configure on my X8? Cause I did and still nothing :/

Hi,
I`m also having WiFi issues with this Rom.
Beside that, I really like this one. Great battery life!
But I need to get WiFi working.
Any suggestions?
I have tried everithing, but the wifi continues the same, poor and intermittent connection.
Tried with home, work and public networks, the same.

Actually I managed to disable the N standard option of the WiFi and now it works fine with no issues. Search the thread how to enable N standard WiFi.

Wifi problem with ICS and JB roms!?

I currently have 2.3.6 GB on my phone(I9000) with this I can use hidden Wifi networks! But ICS and JB roms I cannot use hidden Wifi networks, they always stop at authentication and give authentication error, normal Wifi networks work perfectly. My friend has ICS on his Galaxy S III and he can use this hidden Wifi. What can be the problem?

I'm sorry for you, but at home and at work i have hidden SSID's and never got a problem with that. Neither with CM9 nor with CM10. But other networks (it appears nearly random for me) never worked for me for ICS and JB. I think it's maybe driver related and will never be fixed
If you have access to that network, try changing security settings and try to connect your phone again.
Cheers

[Q] CM10 WiFi Direct?

I've noticed that in the nightly builds of CM10 that there is a placeholder menu for WiFi Direct under WiFi settings. Is the i9000 actually getting WiFi Direct support in the future or is it just a left over menu option from the CM10 source trunk?

interesting i never noticed it. what is WiFi direct?

Imagine bluetooth except using the WiFi radio as an ad-hoc connection, MUCH faster and probably longer range etc

wow, so old "aging" phone actually supports it :fingers-crossed: i also wonder the same thing since CM9!

the sgs was the first mobile to be certified for wifi direct. but we never had the chance to enjoy this option

You could use Fast File Transfer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floriandraschbacher.fastfiletransfer
It offers similar speeds, works on the SGS1 and is free.
Hope this helps.

[HELP] WiFi Hotspot does not work.

Hi,
I'm currently having difficulties with WiFi hotspot on my HTC One. I really like this phone, however I am THIS CLOSE to selling it. I've had HTCs in the past and the hotspot function was never an issue with these previous phones.
I am running MaximusHD 20.0.0
The WiFi hotspot OCCASIONALLY works with security disabled, however even then it is very tempermental
I usually appear to have connected (showing up as a connected device on the phone end) however it never seems to show full connection on the PC end (i.e. limited connection and no internet access or connecting times out altogether)
I have tried with multiple computers with no success
Any ideas? Appreciate the help in advance.
Cheers,
Dave

Does anyone have any ideas for trouble shooting? Is anyone else facing the same issue? Can anyone else report their WiFi hotspot working without any issues at all?

Works just fine for me, try it with another ROM (I'm ARHD), and try using the stock hotspot setting found in "more" category of your settings. Also, your carrier may be blocking it.

Is this an extra feature that you have from your carrier? Or do they not know you're tethering? Or you have the wifi hotspot as part of the regular usage for your plan?
Have you tried the google weireless tether apk instead of the stock wifi hotspot?
Is there a tethering guard.apk in your system apps?

Thanks for the replies people.
I was on ARHD and had issues there as well. Also I only ever use the stock WiFi hotspot, the HTC one.
I'm with BOOST Mobile, a MVNO on the Telstra Australia network. I have been informed on a local forum that tethering is not restricted with our plan/deal, so there should be NO issue from the network end. Mobile internet works without any problems.
I'll have to look at that, the Google Wireless Tether apk, hadn't thought of that, will report back.
What is that? I had a look through the ALL APPS section in settings and couldn't see anything like that, tethering guard apk...

EDIT: USB tethering is also not working. Is that significant?

Could it have anything to do with my firmware version NOT matching the ROM I am currently using?

As an update:
It appears that going S-Off and upgrading firmware to match my ROM (now on InsertCoin latest) has fixed the issue. Will report in detail once I can test properly.

Wi-Fi tether no longer an option..

Ok so I'm running a Rom that has the native Wi-Fi tether enabled but as soon as a device connects the signal drops (meaning I loose data on the phone)
I've noticed many many people after updating to kitkat having the same problem but no one has a solution.
Has anyone found a workaround to get Wi-Fi tether working again?
I'm using a sense based rom. Not sure if aosp rom would fix this issue.

+1. I have been searching for a fix myself. The 4g and native tether do not work well together, at least with me. I've tried the patch on stock roms as well with the same results. I connect just fine, but then seconds later the data will drop. I have good 4g coverage and without the hotspot active, the connection will never drop. If I switch to cdma only there are no drops while tethering. I have been testing different scenarios to find a solution, but no success yet. I also have not found any mention of the problem on the cm threads, but I prefer sense and have not tested. It makes me wonder if the sprint proxies are causing this. I am tethering a window device.

Just curious...do you have a hotspot plan with Sprint?
I am having the same problem with the stock OTA and and using the hotspot hacks since I don't have a hotspot plan. It would be interesting to know if those with a hotspot plan (for which the native app should work unhacked) have the 4G problem too...

Good question. No I do not have the hotspot plan. Never have needed it with the fix prior to kk. I'm not abusive of it, but I simply hate the fact that 4g now doesn't work very well with tethering. Seems to be a hit or miss with everyone. Mine will connect, load a few pages then out of nowhere the connection drops. Go cdma only and it works as should. I'm hoping a few of these threads will gather some attention and help us find a solution for everyone.

Been testing some CM builds of Kit Kat. I have been running CM11 build modded by IrocEvo the last few days. I have had zero issues with any type of tethering. 4G tethering works as should with no disconnects. I'm not sure what the difference is in the scripts for the mods, but possibly someone could assist here. For now, ill be keeping a backup of this build specifically for tethering purposes.

I don't have hot spot on my plan, but I'm trying the new ecliptic rom with sense six, just haven't been able to try4g tether today...been to busy building an engine :/ hopefully try tomorrow

After some further testing on the CDMA+LTE mode, I was able to determine that I could successfully tether my android tablet and samsung smart TV with no interruptions. The problems begin while using this mode (rather than CDMA only) and tethering my laptop. It appears while using this radio mode sprint sniffs the packets for user agent data and once determined its a windows device the connection is interrupted. My question is, why would this happen on this radio mode only? Are the APN settings different for this mode and can those be changed. Sorry to keep beating the horse, but I would like to find a solution rather than running a VPN to tether my windows 8.1 laptop. Any ideas? Thanks everyone.

Do you use chrome or IE? When I use chrome all is fine, when I start using IE I get the drops. I'm using a MS Surface Pro on Win8.1. Strange, but I think I have pinned it down.

Why would you choose to use internet explorer?

Honestly I use both chrome and ie...my work stuff and chrome don't agree...but I use chrome for just about everything else

I've looked into this before and the common response I would find is that it has to do with the Hotspot apk in Sense. There was some sort of change when moving from JB 4.2 to 4.3.

I've since moved to the Google edition rom and everything works there ?

+1. I have had no issues with wifi tethering on the CM builds here as well. Made a nandroid of a CM setup that I use when needed. Wish we could determine the difference. Thanks for the GE tip.
