[Q] Losing GSM and WiFi signal

I was running CM 11 (maclaw's) then for about a month or so I was having incredible slowness on WiFi. After some hours on stand-by, I don't know what happens to my device, the WiFi get super slow. This is what a normal connection looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and this is how a stricken one looks like: (note the ping value)
Then I jumped ship to CarbonROM (also maclaw's). The WiFi problem didn't go away but now I also have a GSM signal cut off problem!:
Like the WiFi problem, after some hours on stand-by the GSM signal cuts off, persists that way until I boot my device.
What could be causing my connection problems? Do you think it's the ROMs? I really need help. I can deal with the super slow WiFi issue but GSM cut off is really serious. (I was apparently called for an interview but couldn't receive the call!)

Install some other rom (not novafusion's) to see if the problem persists (don't forget to make a Nandroid backup first and to change the f2fs to ext4) and update your baseband(from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526831).
I use Android-Andi's SlimKat with none of your problems.

i am using f2fs. do you think the file system has something to do with it?!

I don't think so. I have none of your issues (with CM11, f2fs, system, data & cache). Anyway, you can always try & report your results

Everything work just fine for me. Do a clean flash, if doesn't work forget it or try with other rom

i did a clean install (while installing the latest carbonrom). same thing. bug report still doesn't work. never mind that. i still have problems with the wifi speed dropping significantly after some hours on standby. at least the GSM signal issue seems to be gone―which was the worst bug of all!

does the baseband actually effect WiFI? I thought it was for GSM comm.

Baseband doesn't effect WiFi (it only effect GSM and radio) but the kernel effect WiFi

As xXPR0T0TYPEXx says baseband doesn't affect WiFi but only the GSM and radio (problem to CarbonROM).

unfortunately it does. i tried slimkat. the wifi problem persists.
then i installed maclaw's AOSPA. surprise, surprise(!) the problem is still there.
it's really annoying because when the problem starts, the wifi indicator happily indicates that it is getting full signal. but i am not getting any notifications or i am getting them with a massive delay, because my bandwidth has dropped below 1 mbps with humongous ping value.
i also didn't tinker with my router for a year. it runs the same firmware and same settings.

according here, -i guess- it seems to be a bug with android 4.4.4 :crying:

okay, i tried keeping gps on to see if there was any change...and there indeed was! this time the wifi speed didn't drop (but there was a cut off!):
so i am guessing it's a nasty bug that involves gps: in the absence of gps, wifi speed somehow decides to drop to creeping levels.
then i either have to keep gps on and sacrifice battery life or keep it off and manually on/off wifi every couple of hours :S

This excellent but lacks optimization, install CM version 10.1 and was doing an analysis with AnTuTu and pulled out a punctuation 10,580, but with CM 11 pulled a punctuation of something well below 5,382 but I understand it is the first RC and include leading what a great process of working 3 Rom at the same time. Ojuala early exit at RC2 Greetings :laugh:

Tried antutu and gave me similar to you. Then tried disabling ksm and gave me normal values

Thank's to developer!
I would like to thank developer for the beautiful work that has been done to present us with this RC2 rom. The only thing that not works is dual sim and internet 3g. The rest is perfect ... My phone is s6012b, Brazil variant. Thank's! (Excuse me for my English translator).

3g
my phone is a 1SIM say without service. Make calls and receive messages but will not connect to 3g (data not read). How I can solve it. Willing to try rom leaving

Hmm try disabling dual sim mode with the instructions from the first post

3g
Indeed, the 3G function only works with the dual sim option disabled. I disabled the dual sim entering the command in the terminal, and my 3g worked.

Wifi tether works? I need it

Hi, Well I have a question according to art was watching mode is available in Kit Kat, and CyanogenMod 11 I wonder if is enabled on this rom, is a doubt
Another thing is that I would like him to focus more Gaming since eh I had several errors, slowness
Temple Run and install Angry Bird GO not start me something if it worked in 10.1, Sorry for the inconvenience. I wonder if Nameless Rom is based more on Thank games.

There are plans to make the Rom Nameless? I really liked this version ...
I believe this is the way, thanks for your hard work!

Yeah, kitkat has art but cyanogenmod doesn't support it so it may cause bugs. I already tried to enable it but it just caused a bootloop. And I don't think nameless will be better because some games closes inmediatly :-/ .The slowness problems could be hard to fix to me if you don't need dual sim, maybe you should stick with cm 10.1 and if I ever manage to fix bluetooth, I would release another version of CM 10.1

It was expectable that the test would have many bugs but thanks for letting me know that dual sim works there, now I have to discover what made dual sim to work there and apply it to our cm 11.
And namelessrom is based on cm 11 so is easy to apply the same changes so when I release a cm 11, I release a namelessrom too, however I think it's kinda buggy since it cause some games not to work and dual sim problem on namelese it's worse but yeah, there will be a next release too. Also I was trying to bring AOSB but faced some compilation problems

Thank you so much
Thank you, you've made a great work with this ROM. I only noticed a couple of things: Too much battery-draining when it works with Cellular Network and no Wi-Fi. Also, it has a bug on charging when phone is off, it tries to load the animation, then it shuts down, vibrate and restart again making impossible to charge when phone is off. Have you noticed that bug when charging?

hmm I can't do too much about the battery drain, maybe you should try changing governor or some other perfomance settings. And Wi-Fi not working? what version are you using? Also about the charging thing, I tought my charger had something because it happened me too well... I will have to figure out how to fix it
EDIT: hi I think I've figured out the dual sim thing, just to make sure, I need someone to test two testing versions from this folder. If in both version works dual sim, then the RC 3 will come soon with dual sim working :laugh:

I tested the second test version, and came to the following conclusions: Dual Sim: Works! Wifi: Works! Phone calls: Works!
3G: Works! Not tested: Wifi Thether, and Bluetooth...
My cell version: gt s6012b
Nice work! can be released RC3 ... Thanks...

Installed RC3 today, dual sim working great, wifi working out of the box, performance is great especially since there is no garbage like the kind included with the stock ROM, haven't tested thoroughly e.g., skyper/viber, but so far so good. no complaints whatsoever.
Thank you for doing a great job! :good:

Dual sim is working on latest RC3 build. Will check out wifi and games soon. BTW, my device is GT-S6012.

Alonso, while dual SIM is working beautifully, the phone is not going to sleep. Wakelock Detector shows the RILJ service (which I believe is the GSM radio) is keeping the phone awake almost 100% of the time. The only thing installed on the phone is Gapps and Wakelock Detector. No other apps installed.

I searched a little about it on google and found it could be a Google Maps issue, I think disabling GPS can fix it or freezing Maps, however I'm no sure it that's your case

Lollipop update and the nagging wifi lag/issue

For those who have downloaded the OTA Lollipop update or installed the moforoot Lollipop ROMS-Have the WIFI lag/issues been fixed?
For those who don't know what I'm talking about it seems like the Droid Turbo either doesn't play well with certain Routers or a few build dates have some sort of flaw. It causes your phone when your on wifi to intermittently stop loading whatever you were doing i.e. loading a picture, a website, etc. Then you either have to hit refresh several times for the page/picture to load or switch back to 4G. However this problem doesn't seem to effect music streaming...
Hoping this is one of the reasons it took Motorola so long to update because they were addressing this problem...

I can say that it 100% fixed this issue for me. I am one of the folks who seemed to experience this almost all the time and was eagerly waiting to see if this problem would continue to plague me after 5.1. I used moforoot and am running v1.0 of computerfreek's LP image. I haven't flashed v1.0B because I read some comments about flaky 4G/LTE reception and I live in a sort of 3G/4G fringe area. I am very pleased with my LP experience so far.

It fixed it for me as well. That was my biggest ***** about the turbo and yes I *****ed about it a lot. I have had not one problem since. And previously I tried turning IPV6 off and it made no difference. At least on the 3 routers I tried. Currently IPV6 is on and I have no issues.

For sure it is the IPv6 in your router. I had the issue with 2 phones before I was able to figure it out and the second I disable IPv6 the issues went away permanently.

In spite of the tech hype about IPv6, it's not necessary for people who use a cable/telco ISP for internet access.
And IPv6 still has several security issues for people who just have it turned on without proper protection against IPv6-based malware due to Teredo tunneling (backdoors into your system).
Should I Disable IPv6?
http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/should-i-disable-ipv6.358189/
My home router runs a mini version of DD-WRT which does not offer IPv6 access/support, and I keep it that way on purpose. "Regular" (larger) versions of DD-WRT do offer IPv6, but you can disable it:

I have also disabled IPv6 on both my personal Windows desktops for good measure.
When I run this test, I have IPv4 only and that's how I want it, for now.
http://test-ipv6.com/

This could also be cause by dhcp leases. I have seen long wait times dor dhcp ipv4 with a bang next to wireless. I reserved the ip and issue resolved.

Well I finally made the jump and flashed from Computerfreeks's KK to his LP rom yesterday...
...and my wifi lag issues seem to have all been fixed. I forgot how fast your home wifi can be! "(insert sarcastic laugh). I didn't make any changes to my router either. So maybe that is one of the hidden reasons it took so long to get this update out.
Hope this helps some other people.

FYI: Bionic can run Lineage 14.1 (Android 7 Nougat)

Thanks to these wonderful people http://droid.cs.fau.de/ . Those of us still using the bionic can keep pace with the rest of the world.
I just did a fresh install of Lineage 14.1, OpenGapps 7.1 nano, and data restore from my backup. So far everything looks good. I will update if I find any major problems.

Update: So far everything is seems to be working except tethering. I try a total clean install and a dirty flash.
Update 2: dirty flash works but still no tethering.
Update 3: total clean install works, still no tethering and the GPS did not won't to lock on.
This appears to be a school project so i don't know how long they will keep it going. They seem to release once a week so i will check for a new one on the 18th.

No update as of yet. I did find out this is Stargo's work from the Droid4 . https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-4/development/rom-cm14-1-nougat-t3499338. I did upate to CM14.1 (dirty) and it works really well. I tried to dirty flash to Lineage14.1 and everything seems to work except teathering. Thanks Stargo.

Curious, have you had any luck rooting Lineage 14.1 on the Bionic? I'm on the official 13.0 builds and no root method (tried flashing SuperSU, Magisk, and Lineage's root add-on; even tried Kingroot) seems to be working so far. SafeStrap just gives me a "Failed" message whenever I flash any root package.

Been running Lineage 14.1 on my Bionic since late April, replacing a DroidX as my daily WiFi-only pocket Android device, as I'm still one of those hold-outs with an aaaancient Palm Centro for just making calls and texts.
Aside from some minor slowdowns in regards to thumbnail generation (especially while selecting multiple images in Discord's new image upload mechanism introduced a couple months ago) and some other interesting color funkiness when opening and using OpenCamera over the stock camera app (preferential choice, YMMV) it has been quite the amazing experience to use Android 7.x on a phone made in 2011.
Found that introducing L Speed into the equation and Greenify does help with some battery chugging issues I experienced at first. one of the cheap ~4000mAh nonamebrand extended packs available from eBay/Amazon now seems to last me a solid 20-something hours before it's time to plug in if I haven't used it much. changing the font using FontFix to Roboto Condensed over stock seems to have also helped with some real-estate issues, again strictly preferential. There's also the normal occurrence of the MTP Host process hanging and killing itself on occasion, but not too much of a worry really for me.
Also still not quite understanding of how the filesystem is partitioned in regards to Safestrap too well, especially with how limiting it is on disk space inside the partition per slot.

for the unofficial 14.1 ROM there's already a method in the settings to allow root to any app that requests it in the same way that apps must now ask for permission to record audio/access files and whatnot, but I believe this is something you need to go into the security settings and turn on.
EDIT: The way to get in and do it is to enable the Developer Options menu and modify the Root Access setting in there. Privacy Guard should then take over and allow for apps to request Root and allow it as necessary based on your input.

Huh, it's just there in the unofficial version? Interesting. It isn't there in official 13.0 (only for ADB). But hey, looks like 14.1 is official now, so I'll break out the old Bionic and try my luck at it. I'll edit this later with my results.
Edit: Official 14.1 yields same results when trying to flash any su add-on, including SuperSU and Lineage's. However, you said on the new thread that it is working, so I'll try it out again when I can.

I'm using CM13 on my Droid Bionic, and in Developer Options, there is a "Root Access" option, and it does have the choices of "Disabled", "Apps Only", "ADB Only", and "Apps and ADB".

Erratic WiFi issues...
Sort of a follow-up. with the June 10th build I notice that if the phone is on for more than a few days at a time, the WiFi radio becomes erratic. shutting it off for a bit and turning it back on fixes this, but it also continues, as has happened in previous 14.1 builds, to start behaving erratically at random when the phone is disconnected from the previously-connected AP from range loss and then travels with me. it can be as far as just across town, or further, or a shorter distance, depending on where I'm going. the distance matters not, and result is the same: loss of connectivity and in no way can I get it back unless I perform a hard-reboot of the phone.
It can get very annoying very quickly depending on where I am and how badly I need a WiFi connection. I'm wondering if this a WLAN driver issue of some kind or if this is just an erratic bug that manifests itself over time-- the network selection screen also becomes erratic like the selected network is having a seizure. this seems to happen the most on xfinitywifi hotspots more than others, but that's just the norm of what I'm connecting to most of the time. it does it more when it's in a lower range, but it also does it if I'm right on top of the hotspot sometimes, as well.
If anyone else is noticing this sort of erratic behavior, I'd love to hear about it and if anyone's figured out any sort of solid solution aside from just rebooting the phone. There's a good chance that within the coming month I might finally be able to do a clean switch from my current ancient Palm Centro and up to this glorious piece of work, and all the trials and tribulations that come with it.
I'm also curious to know if this bug exists on the official 14.1 builds from 2017-06-16 and 2017-06-23 respectively, and with the 13.0 builds... Depending on how things work out, one of these ROM builds is going to have to be stable enough to keep the WiFi from going nuts on me, and I'm going to have to use it, depending on where I am phone-wise within the next month.
Edit: the WiFi issues have been fixed in the official builds. there is now a thread for the official LineageOS ROM over here on the Android Development subforum.
(Edit 2: Phone was my daily from June 27 until August 19th. I've since retired it for a Droid Razr, same family spec but faster CPU (1.2GHz over 1GHz). over the course of the time I was using it the Lineage builds only made things better. recently the ART cache was increased to 192MB for 1GB RAM devices (AKA this, the Razr, Droid 4, etc. of the same family spec) and I'm not sure if it was that or some other change but battery life on the Razr certainly went up (2d ~ish per charge), I'd have to expect this would be the same deal with the Bionic but your mileage may vary depending on battery age and usage scenario.
the Bionic doesn't have nearly as many users stats-wise on Lineage over the Razr/Droid 4/etc. and I think that's why it seems to be a bit low key for support, but there's enough of the other phones and a lot of the hardware is the same to keep everything running. my only hope is that support for this device continues as long as the others are and isn't dropped for reasons of low interest in the port. it's a great phone-- and as the first 4G LTE dual-core device for Verizon in the US, it's still holding strong against all that came after it. )

I had a Bionic I used recently. Actually it's still being used by a friend. I tried the Lineage 14 Nougat when it first came out. I found it intolerably slow. I'm willing to try it again though. What I'm really looking for is an old CM10 or 11 ROM for the Targa. I can find lots of dead links but so far haven't found an actual copy

Thanks,
I had forgotten about web archive. It turns out a little more digging here brought up a link to a copy of CM12 which I put on the device today. Originally the phone had one of my first efforts at a custom ROM so a lot of bugs.
I'd given it to a friend who was using it but complained about the bugs and sluggishness. He thought it had a virus. I told him that it was clean for viruses and malware but because he'd surfed so much porn it had an electronic STD.

Should I use a specific filesystem? or is it locked to the rom? There are options for FS2S, EXT4, but it seems the default is EXT3. Those others would be speedier.

Agreed. I've tried formatting System (and Data, I think—it's been a while) to EXT4, but alas, it stubbornly stays on EXT3. I figure there's some technical explanation somewhere :silly:

Overclocking

Yeah I remember exactly that being a thing. Also we need overclocking info for all new roms. 1.3 and 1.4GHz make a huge difference. I used to use CM13.1 and there was a custom kernel for that.

Slow WIFI speed like A1

I have a stable wifi connection while one of my android gets the proper speed, A2 gets low amount of data at that same time. On a 3MBps package, my other phone crosses 250kbps, while A2 gets some what 110-150kbps in general. I have double checked this matter. FYI, this was in A1 too after updating to oreo. I am on august patch update. Please shed some lights regarding this crucial matter on HOW TO FIX IT

My Mi A2 is losing connection constantly, so it must be a general problem.

I've noticed that 5 Ghz reception isn't as good as my previous phones at long distances, but at short distances I'm getting over 17 MB/s (136 Mbps).

I've not noticed any issues. Can pull 11MB/sec over wifi no problem.

surprisingly it's the same issue with Mi A1 and official ROM - sometimes drops connection - not customs like LOS or RR.
but due to full treble comptability we should have benefits from flashing GSIs soon

it seems work fine on my device.

Have u find any solution? I have the same problem. Wifi sometimes get too slow to load anything, but in other devices it works perfectly fine.

Same problem here. Have a 200U/10D Mbps package. On 5GHz i pull about 72Mbps and upload 10Mbps which is acceptable (tho I've seen in this thread that the HW can do much more), but on 2.4GHz, it's just hell... I get 2.6 down and 2.2 up. In these tests I was next to the router so they are not affected by distance.

In my case the Mi A2 is pretty much identical speeds with (my router) 5GHz wifi as the other phones I've used recently. That includes Huawei Mate SE, LG G6, Google Nexus 5 and 5x. I'm never connected for more than a few minutes though.

I had the same problem. Then I did a connection reset in the network and internet menu, and that did the trick.

Could you please elaborate how you did the reset please?

Oke to do this go to the settings menu. Choose 'network and Internet' Then in the top right corner click on the 3 dots. Then choose reset.

Did that but didn't help. Still get VERY bad speeds on 2.4 GHz

I have the same problem. I have found a solution for me. Plane Mode and WiFi on. With this i have a normal wifi speed. With activated Sim cards the speed ist slow. Regards

Have you checked, when you have WiFi problems, for CPU stuck at Max freq?
BTW, I had plane mode activated for 2 weeks and never had CPU problems and 1st day I opened it came back.

Found a solution
Hey so what you guys need to do is hold the Wi-Fi icon in the quick menu, and then press Wi-Fi preferences and the press advenced, network rating provider, and then click none. This worked for me.

Wow. This solved all my WIFI problems. Thanks a lot!!

Looks like it solved my twitter "messages can not be loaded" problem too
