Hello everyone, I'm having a weird problem which has been happening for quite a while now, basically stock ROM using speed-test app 20-30Mb/s download speed AWESOME
Now when using custom ROMS (So far Cyanogenmod and Viperone) my download speed is limited to 2Mb/s youtube stutters, pages load slow etc pretty much a pain since its a smart phone that uses a lot of internet, now it gets weirder, no matter what my download is locked to my upload speed always stays a nice healthy 10Mb/s, even weirder still is if I reboot the phone for the first 3-4 minutes of being back on download speed is back to normal (20-30Mb/s)
Even weirder still is when using Android Revolution HD (ARHD) my WiFi still works perfectly, so what ever ARHD and the stock from have in common my WiFi must agree with it! As far as troubleshooting I've done clean installs, I've even made my router run only in 2.4GHz
Someone please help I don't wanna be stuck on one custom ROM when there is so many to try
please provide some more details
which Android?
have you tried updating your firmware?
I always make sure I have the newest, happened with 4.2/4.3/4.4 base firmwares
have you tried unchecking "WiFi Optimization" in WiFi?

Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I am experiencing similar issues, albeit with a different device (OnePlus 3).
Only the stock Oxygen Rom gives good Wifi tethering performance, but trying Cyanogenmod, Bliss, etc. all give the same 1-2Mbps speeds like you described.
Did you ever figure out the issue?
Are (were) you on T-Mobile US by chance?
TIA.

A test/stock anykernel for CM6 inc is up on rom manager under the Koush section. Please test it out and let me know how it compares. I am working on tracking down some instability issues.
Having issues with built in tethering says error. Pre 9 seems to work however after toggling wifi.
Anyone else?
Used it for a day...
I'd have to say one of the biggest downfalls was that it didn't have most features within the kernel enabled. I didn't notice any immediate problems even with the stock kernel, unless what I ran into (described below) might be involved.
When trying to initially download the new kernel via ROM Manager, I was in a location where cell was -120 dBm (basically non-existent) but I had Wifi. Wifi always seemed to take forever to link up, unless I went into settings (then it'd find the AP immediately and connect). ROM Manager basically said it couldn't do anything, despite having Wifi. I don't know enough about the inner Android workings to know if that's unrelated or not.
With the new one I noticed mainly I had very few governors to work with. TBH I only spent a day with it because I couldn't stand how often I ended up having to charge it. I don't OC so that sort of thing has never been an issue - just UC
Edit -- I should mention I'm using 2.15.00.09.01 baseband and CyanogenMod-6-09202010-NIGHTLY-Inc build. Haven't tried newer dailies yet.

2.15.00.09 radio literally KILLED my battery. I went back to 2.15.00.07 and battery life is great again. FYI.
Everything is good for me with this kernel. No issues. Flashed it last night.

At the moment, I'm using Miui but wanted to note that this is the only kernel which allows Pre-9 Wifi tether to work on Miui (in my hands, King's #1 and #2 AOSP kernels gave me errors with Wifi Tether). Thanks for providing this kernel, Koush. Will give it a try with CM and see how that goes.
I had a soft reboot last night with this new kernel while I was on facebook. 0 wifi used.
Radio 2.15.00.07
Not sure if it's the kernel or just the latest nightly, but I'm loosing my data connection quite often. Otherwise, its running great.

My built in wifi tethering isn't working either....sad day. I was loving how fast my phone charged
New version, number. 11 is online, testing now.
I haven't had any problems with this kernel yet even on wifi. I have also noticed decent battery life.

Funny, I'm running the test2 on Ruby as well. Been rock stable for 4hours. Practically a record for my phone on Ruby. Hope it makes it through the night.
Using the "test2" kernel.
Built in tethering works for me.
I'm running the 9/27 nightly.
No other issues so far.
P.S. I would love if internal memory was mounted properly in Windows.
Does anyone know if this new kernel is underclocked?

Another question would be, does anyone know if test kernel #1 or #2 is the test kernel in rom manager?

#2 is running at default clock.
So far looking good on test#2 for me (9.26 nightly). I just had a meeting in a location where the phone has frozen up nearly every time I was running CM 6.02 or any previous build and it worked fine. If I make it out to lunch, then back home later today without a freeze I think we may have a winner. Or at least I'll have a winner...
I grabbed the test kernel on friday night via the ROM manager, am I running the latest test, or is there a new one with the same name? In other words do I have to redo it to get the test #2 I am seeing comments about?
I am running test2 and my only issue is with wifi cutting out and erroring out when running things like streaming media in the background, but no reboots. Tt just cuts out the wifi, and resumes relatively well upon turning the screen back on. For some reason the screen being off sets off a timer that cuts out the wifi after a while. I've tested this with both Pandora and Slacker. No cut outs when running over 1x CDMA (3G doesn't work in my office) except when my signal becomes nonexistant.
Hey all,
since a couple of days I have a problem with my wifi, it keeps switching on and off (I can see the checkbox activating and deactivating, every couple of seconds, at the moment it is unchecked and says "error")
as I said, the wifi worked before
I am running cyanogen 7 (http://android.doshaska.net/cm7) on Milestone
- But I have also tried MIUI, with the same problem
does issue sound familiar to anyone?
Maybe it is an app which force turns my wifi on/off, is there any way to check which one it is (as far as I know I don't have an of them, eg juice defender, tasker installed)
Many thanks
Have you tried other WiFi networks? Because the same error being reproduced across two different ROMs seems a little unlikely.
Well, the problem is that my wifi doesn't stay on long enough (just a couple of seconds) to scan/connect to any network.

So it isn't a problem connecting to a network, it's a problem of the wifi not even being able to turn on?
Well "technically" it does turn on, but it switches off immediately

wow, i just logged in to search for this issue myself. I have that same issue across multiple roms also. The one that did work was the Telus Lite Eclair. I liked that one, but of course I wanted to check out others. Each one was the same as you describe. Wifi scans, disconnects, scans, in a loop.
I have done searches on google for wifi disconnect loop android, and seen some stuff about kernals and stuff that is over my head at the moment. If some one has an idea on how to get it working that would be great.
I wipe before any install, I've went back to stock and it works, everytime I went to the Telus Lite one it also always worked. I dont know if theres a clue there or not?
Im on an Telus milestone in Canada, on Telus network if that makes a difference.
And since I think this is my first real post, Thanks for the work guys.
Not sure if this would work, but this is the first result that popped up: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/koush/75782-wifi-disconnect-loop-cm6-final.html
EDIT: People are saying that Hidden SSIDs and MAC filtering can cause problems when trying to connect to the WiFi network. Try forgetting the network, making the network visible(protected if you wish) and reboot the phone and try again.
ok, time for a stupid question...
where do I find suitable kernels?
I can't find anything about this (roms and kernel tweaking is a is pretty well documented though)

As far as I know, you won't be able to change the kernel on the Milestone at all, due to the locked bootloader.

a little update, I checked my settings on my router and there was nothing really out of place. For poops and giggles I installed Shawdowmod, and it works with out issue with my wifi. Go figure. Anyway, think im keeping it.
Thanks for the help.
hmmm, good to hear you figured it out.
I just went back to stock and guess what? still nothing
maybe I'll try that rom and see
10 days or so ago i installed paranoid android 0.5 and followed the instructions by the letter.
all was well except for the camera bug which i knew about...
then yesterday i started noticing internet connectivity issues as well as speed issues.
it seems that (running speedtest.net) i have no upload speed, and my download speed is also very unstabe (5000kbps one moment, 100kbps the next) and my signal icon also shows i do not have full reception while i allways did have full reception where i am currently sitting (about 2m from the router)
i have checked the other wireless devices to see whether it was a router issue but none of the other devices show any change in reception nor speed.
i'm about to do a clean install of GB, see what that does .. but i thought i should allready pose the question here in case there won't be any change .. perhaps anyone else who has the same issues ..
UPDATE: installed GB and no real succes. speedtest showed improved download speed (14000kbps) but still nearly no upload (31kbps)
i'm open to everyone's ideas.. just hope i haven't broken my SGN ..
going for yet another rom .. gonna try one of the more stable ICS roms...
i'll keep you guys updated.
OK update2 ...
just went and got myself another router just to be sure and it seems that it IS a router problem .. grrrr
let's continue the search ...:s too bad i wiped my rom for this ..
lol, change rom and or kernel, or modem, cause you didnt have it before it is likely its not router issue.
Or try newer versions of rom. Cm9 the base for paranoid and had wifi partially broken in some versions. if the paranoid used a cm9 with that issue, you have your cause.

seems it WAS the router ... changed channel, rebooted router, and all is well again ...
it's indeed strange that it happened out of the blue, but i guess that's technology for ya ..
it pushed me to install PA JB 1.3 (which i otherwise would have left to mature) but i am never going back to anything else now .. !
works perfectly for what i use it for (also as daily driver ..)
all's well that ends well
true, technology is weird indeed that way

Hey guys, I flashed the new MRA48K build from the Google developers website, everything is working great! However is seems like web pages in chrome now load much slower when connected to my 2.4Ghz band. It seems a bit faster when connected to a 5Ghz network (I have a dual band router) and I was wondering if anyone else was noticing the slower load times since the update. Before this update the load times using my 2.4 Ghz band were really really good, now they're a bit slow. Anyone else?
EDIT: It seems to have fixed itself, it may have just been because I had just flashed this stock image and everything was still getting situated. Disregard this post.

I've been noticing the same thing. Not sure if yours is really "fixed" or you may just not be aware of it anymore.
Noticing the same here too. Tried all the usual WiFi setting toggles, including new location toggle, as well as wiping cache and wiping to factory. This is all after fully wiping then installing with factory images. I had the same issue on preview 3, and decided about a week before final came out to downgetback to L because the phone was practically unusable on WiFi. I'm at a complete loss here.
---------- Post added at 11:12 ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 ----------
I would also like to note it's not just chrome. Happens with any network resource, such as sftp, ftp, smb, vpn, YouTube videos, play store installs. Anything that uses WiFi on my LAN or anyone else's.
It definitely was not fixed! Soon after I said "I think it's fixed", I realized that I was still having issues! I wonder what it could be. Someone in another thread told me that they changed a lot of the code in the radio this time for Android 6.0. So more than likely, the radio file just doesn't work as well as it did before! Someone had told me that you can flash the Android 5.1.1 radio file and it should work with Marshmallow because they are independent of the build you're running. I haven't tried it myself yet.
Hey guys, I had posted a while back saying that for some reason, after flashing the new build of Marshmallow to my Nexus 6, the load times for web pages and just about everything else seems to be a bit slower than usual. I had said at the end of the post that it was fixed, but now the problem is arising again. Is anyone noticing long load times with all apps that use internet? Web pages load slower, the Facebook app takes much longer to load pictures and posts, Skype took longer to login and show everyone's profile pics etc. Never had this problem before on lollipop!
EDIT: Also, when I switch between my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz WiFi bands, it shows a push notification that says that this WiFi signal has no internet access, and then it connects just fine after a few more seconds. This is odd. Maybe just a buggy first run of Marshmallow?

It's not loading really at all, but that's also due to my LTE coverage being awful in my area, that's always been bad haha so no change there. My other devices in the house are working just fine on my network, the Nexus 6 however seems to load slower, and it's only now that I'm on Android 6.0! Is it working fine for you?
EDIT: Just an update here, hours later, it may be my internet connection, possibly. But I'm not 100% sure on that either. If nobody else is having this issue, it may just be. Like I said though, it seems to be working fine with my other devices!
EDIT 2: http://imgur.com/gallery/TGiCU55 This is a speed test I did on my phone, I have 30Mbps internet and that shows!
I'm having same issue. Dirty flash. Kinda wondering if a clean factory reset is in order.
no issues here....came from a clean flash, which is standard protocol.
M seems fast so far, but I did change my animations Scale from 1.00 to .50! The only website to load very slow is XDA... go figure!

Yup. I did same. I might try the lollipop radio. Idk...
XDA is always sloooooow, even on a fast PC.
I've seen several other people mention slow net speeds on M as well but I've not noticed it yet. The WiFi code of M caused issues awhile back on some previous builds of HellsCore kernel too. I dont know the specifics of it though.

So there was a definite change in the radio for this build then. More than a subtle change. I wonder if it's just not perfect, I realize having a Nexus means getting the first run of all Android software, but I wonder if this is a bug in the build, or a radio that could use some work. But it does sometimes take longer to load things! I'm on very fast WiFi too!
Sent from my Nexus 6
I honestly don't know and would like to hear more specifics. I can tell you I've seen comments on this board the last couple fo days talking about massive WiFi battery drain as well.
I only know HellsCore adopted the newer M code for WiFi in his kernel and people were affected. He then had to create two builds of the kernel. One with newer WiFi code that didn't cause any issues for people and another build with the older WiFi code from L. Have you checked his G+ site?

No I haven't! I'll check that out! So that leads me to believe that it was a change in the new radio! He had to change it to code used in L radio so that may be it! Thanks for the info! I'll look into that some more!
Is it possible to flash the lollipop radio to test? I'd think you could. But I'm not 100%.

Hey guys! An update here, I just read through another post that was about this same issue, and someone in there said that downloading DNset from the play store fixes this issue! It changes your WiFi settings from ipv4/ipv6 to just ipv4. I did it and it's working so far, but I'm going to give it some more testing and see if it fixed! Try it out

Hey dude, well honestly it didn't seem to fix it. Placebo effect lol What I think it comes down to is just Marshmallow being rough around the edges at this point because I have stock rooted Marshmallow 6.0 on my Nexus 6 and have cyanogenmod 12.1 installed as a secondary ROM, When booted into cyanogenmod, pages load much faster and it's more responsive as far as I can tell! So, it must be a bug with Marshmallow! Keep in mind cyanogenmod 12.1 uses Android 5.1.1 as a base!
