Wifi problems

I bought a second-hand G1(no data plan) since I wanted to play with my phone. It ran 1.6 DMD64 stock with the newest radio; and it had WiFi problems.I did some research before purchasing and knew it could be flashed; so I tried flashing it to a modern ROM to see if that would solve the problems. After figuring out it was an American phone(I live in Holland) I managed to root it and flash CM6RC2. I now sometimes have a lot of reception; sometimes not. I tried installing WiFiReEnabler and WifiFixer; WifiFixer made connections overall a bit more stable; but half of the time I still don't have WiFi. I also tried to use my laptop's WiFi for my phone via USB; followed the instructions but failed. My phone managed to get semi-bricked 3 times in that period(stuck at G1 screen), and I tried flashing another ROM too; so I flashed CM 4 times. I'm using a Belkin N1 wireless router; switched channels, security and looked at my keyphrase.
The problems I have with WiFi:
- Not finding my router even though being quite close to it; happened only with 2 of the 5 times I flashed
- Finding my router but not connecting; happened 3 of the 5 times I flashed
- Saying that it's connected but not allowing me to browse; happened all times but WifiFixer occassionally fixes this
I'm still running CM6RC2 with Amon Ra recovery 1.7 on an American phone; my router is a Belkin N1 with firmware version 3.01.04 and hardware F5D8631-4 v3 with WPA-TKIP, broadcast SSID on, channel 4.
Is there a way that allows me to get stable internet on my phone without a data plan?

This could be either a hardware or software issue, not quite sure. Your options are listed below
1. Root and flash to a different more updated rom
2. Flash the newest radio(not sure if it effects wifi signal strength, forgot)
3. Open up the G1 and see if any connectors are loose.
Option 3 is probably out of the question, option 1 and 2 can be done by looknig into the rom bible(sticky) in the G1 dev thread, this will give you threads with new roms, how to install them etc, as well as flashing the new radio(if you have not yet done that)

I already flashed the newest radio, since I tried to install CM6 and in that guide I was instructed to flash the newest radio. I also obviously have installed CM6RC2 which is the newest version of CM.
I did read somewhere that more people had WiFi issues with CM6RC2 or deratives; I'll try running an older version of CM.
Edit: Doesn't work; at least I can't browse when I'm connected. Doing a nandroid restore right now; I'm intending to use Froyo.
In the case that doesn't work, how hard and dangerous would it be to open up my casing and look for those wires? It's second-hand, so warranty would likely not be a problem.
Thanks for answering anyway.

Is it possible that your router is using a different band?
I don't know about Holland, but sometimes different countries allow different wireless bands.
Try changing the channel on your router to something like channel 7 or 11, something varied from the norm.

Well. I found a solution. Connecting my old sitecom wl-167 which has no wireless N support seems to give me no problems.
(Holland has different channels then America, but my G1 was surprisingly already configured for Europe)
Thanks for your help anyway!
P.S. My XDA does seem to have some problems. "No route to host" when trying to post.
Edit: It appears it isn't 100% fixed; WiFi-fixer still solves it right now but it might not be the solution.
Edit 2: Well, WiFi-Fixer is able to fix my problems all of the time for now; but ocasionally I have WiFi for 10 seconds then 10 seconds no WiFi, et cetera.

Wifi problems on my converted HTC One. Wifi will stop connecting to the internet.

I'm having issues with wifi after converting my HTC one to a Google Edition.
I'll connect to my school wifi fine, but every single time, after a certain amount of time it just stops working. I'll still be connected to the wifi network, but I can't connect to the internet.(When I'm at home, I don't have this issue)
My friend also has the HTC One stock, and wifi works fine. My gf has a nexus 4, so it uses stock android with no problems.
What is with my HTC One GE that isn't working?
I've tried a factory reset twice now, and it didn't help at all.
Help is appreciated! This is super annoying and is literally hindering my productivity because I don't have enough data to just use cellular service.

Help please

What happens on stock Sense firmware? If you are S-OFF, flash Dev edition RUU and test.

Yeah. That is a Google Play Edition Issue on 4.4 KitKat and above... you won't be able to fix this issue (except rewriting a part of GPE)
This here helped me in Wi-Fi's like your school wifi:
[root] Pry-Fi
but if you disconnect and reconnect you have to re login because you have a new Mac...

Gah, not what I was hoping for
I was hoping it was a specific issue I had, not an actual android issue.
Why is it only GPE that is affected by this? Explains why my GF's nexus 4 works well.
This is a bummer. I guess I have to revert back to stock.......I get disconnected and reconnected from wifi all the time due to the wifi not being 100% everywhere on campus.
Thanks for the help, at least I know now that I can't do anything about it, time to go back to stock.
Are the revert to stock guides in you're sigs work from a GPE to stock?

i know how you feel

it's not just the GPE, I switched my AT&T HTC One to Developer Edition and have lost wifi since 4.4. I downgraded back to stock and worked my way up the updates with no luck. back to dev edition now 4.4.2 and still no luck

I just went back to stock sense 4.3 and I'm having the same issues still. Before conversion I had no issues.
Why is it still happening?
Could a factory reset work? I assumed when I flashed the ruu it just wiped everything.

Run the full RUU if available.

What do you mean by that? I converted my phone from GPE back to stock using the AT&T ruu.

similar issue
I'm on ViperOne 4.4.2 with similar issues. Only my router is a meter away from me, so the connection is excellent. Wifi on phone keeps disconnecting, but what is interesting, it does so like it's scheduled to do so. For an example - it'll work fine for an hour, more or less, & then it'll start to play games - disconnect, reconnect, scan for networks & show nothing, or try to connect & fail, or even get stuck at 'turning on'. Every problem that I have with my wifi can be temporarily 'fixed' with a reboot, then wifi will work fine for some time & start to disconnect again. HELP?
BTW this started after 4.4.2 update. I've downgraded back to 4.2.2, to 4.3 & now I'm back on 4.4.2, no changes. Did this update **** something up in my phone's hardware or what?

I have a similar problem to what was initially discussed in this thread. Company wifi has multiple routers throughout the building/department - when I first connect to the system everything works great, but after moving to a different room and connecting to a different router (same network/wifi) the internet connection is lost. I stay connected to wifi, with strong signal, but don't have any data connection. In order to get internet back I have to turn the wifi off and back on - everything works fine until I walk into a different room and connect to a different router.
I'm on an HTC One Google Edition - don't remember having this problem before rooting the One from Sense to GE, but I wasn't streaming radio broadcasts of baseball games over the internet until a week ago, which was when this became a real annoyance.

[Q] HTC One won't connect to data network after installing custom ROM(s)

Hi guys!
So I've been a lurker on here for forever (since my Touch Pro actually...whoa), but haven't participated much before now. Either way, I don't think I'm too much of a noob. However, today I took the plunge and rooted my One. I haven't messed around with this stuff since my Evo 4G so I tried to follow directions and do everything right. I then went to install a custom ROM (really a series of ROMs because of this mess), and everything seems to work well enough. However, when I got to set up my phone, the setup process hung on "Activate mobile data service" before telling me it couldn't connect. I figured it was just an error with the nightly I was using so I switched to another ROM and the same thing happened.
In this order, I've tried
Pac ROM
Liquid
Beanstalk
CM11
and have had the same issue every time. Clean flash and everything. I figured maybe it was an issue with CM based ROMs, but twrp fails every time I try to install AOKP and I haven't seen a real, current fix for this issue (tried changing APN), nor many people talking about any problems over the past few months.
Anybody that can help, I GREATLY appreciate it! I seriously don't know where to look now. I feel like I've searched everywhere but no luck.
EDIT: Additionally, I just tried to flash SlimKat. When it got to the "Activate mobile data service" it dialed a number which replied with "The feature code you have entered is not valid" .....WHAT?

I'm having a similar issue on my G2. I wasn't flashing ROMs, but was using an Xposed module. Wifi works, but mobile data does not. I just made a thread about this myself.

Frustrations with MMS on T-Mobile (ATT model, black)

An hour ago this was going to be a totally different post.
I'm using an ATT branded, black HTC One. My SIM is for T-Mobile. Like many others, I'm experience issues with sending/receiving MMS. I had been using Android Revolution HD 71.1 and would be unable to send MMS. Strangely, though - my ability to send them seemed locations specific. At work it was no problem, at home it would fail every time.
Unless I disabled WiFi. With WiFi disabled, they seemed to send no problem, but with WiFi and Mobile Data simultaneously enabled it would return errors. Disabling WiFi while at home was an inelegant solution, so I tried downgrading to Android Revolution HD 30.6, which is Android 4.3 rather than 4.4.2. This seemed to have done the job. Until it no longer worked.
Same issue. Wifi disabled - fine. Wifi enabled - unable to send MMS. Everything else works fine, phone calls, mobile internet, etc.
This was meant to be a post advising others how to fix this problem. Instead I'm right back where I started.
This is very frustrating. Especially since I thought I had found a solution only for it to fail once again.

When I was running the T-Mobile 4.4.2 with Sense 5.5 I had issues receiving MMS when connected to WiFi. They would always fail, I would have to disconnect from WiFi and then the MMS would automatically receive. But, since the update to the T-Mobile 4.4.2 Sense 6.0 OTA rom, all the MMS now work as normal whether I'm connected to WiFi or not.
I do know that the SMS app called ChompSMS has a specific T-Mobile setting that will temporarily switch from WiFi to cellular to send/receive MMS and back again. Maybe you can try that if you don't want to run the stock ROM.

@Miguel_Lancaster
Try upgrading to the latest tmous firmware. 5.14.531.1 ,might help. I will include the latest tmous radio and radio config. I have an att phone/sim, but i'm running gpe firmware and rom. I hope this helps.

It had seemed when I first got the device up and running that everything was fine with MMS (that was using 4.4.2, Sense 6.0), but either after a certain number of messages, or while in certain areas I would have to turn off WiFi to be able to send MMS.
That's why I tried downgrading to 4.3 with the alternate version of Android Revolution HD (essentially a tweaked version of the stock HTC ROM). What I find odd about the two version of that ROM (30.6 vs. 71.1) is that the installer for one includes an model selection screen and the other treats them all alike. 30.6 allows me to choose between International, ATT/Developer, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc.
Initially I chose ATT/Dev as that's the hardware model of my HTC One and wasn't keen to deal with a soft-brick. As stated in my first post, this seemed promising initially but shortly after ran into the same bug. I flashed one more time and tried using the 'T-Mobile' model selection during install. This has proven the most reliable method for me thus far. I suppose it would have to do with the radio being flashed between versions? It's curious to me that a similar option is not included in the other ROM version -- something I wanted to address in that ROM's development thread, but am prohibited from doing currently due to my post count.
Anyhow, 4.3 with Sense 5.5 seems to finally be working for now. Android 4.4.2 and Sense 6.0 did have some some aesthetic differences that I preferred, in addition to seeming marginally faster. I'll deal with an older version of the OS though if it means my phone functions properly.
Thank you both for your replies.
One thing that may be worth mentioning is that I've yet to enable Group MMS in my messenger settings this go-around. I suspect that its coincidental, but I'm reluctant to see what happens if I do enable it.
Maybe I'll try again with 4.4.2 in the future, but all this flashing, re-flashing, and settings tweaking becomes pretty tedious. In relation to that point: Does anyone have any experience with the built in HTC/Google app backup/sync. For some reason I've never really trusted any all-in-one solutions to be reliable, especially between ROMs or Android versions. Perhaps I should trust them more?

P.S.
CID Getter app lists my CID as CWS_001 --
don't know why I never bothered checking that until now. Could changing it to TMO_001 be helpful at all or does it not matter?

I broke MMS again, but this time I figured out how!
AdBlock Plus seems to be the culrpit.
As soon as I installed it MMS stopped working again. Unless WiFi gets turned off. Or ABP. If ABP is disabled everything works fine.
I did some research and it seems to be that ABP filters traffic on port 80, the same port that MMS send/receive.
I tried changing my APN settings for T-Mobile to operate through port 8080 as a workaround, but that didn't help. For now though, seems that AdBlock Plus is the perpetrator. I'm gonna try one more time with 4.4.2 and see if I can duplicate the same results.

Hi Miguel, I can confirm that AdBlock Plus will prevent you to send and receive MMS. Looks like the app block traffic on the port used by MMS. I have personally experienced this issue, and disabling AdBlock Plus solved it. There is also a few thread here that discuss that issue (irc, I posted in those). This issue was also reported hundred of times on AdBlock Plus forum, not sure if there is any solution (except for disabling it): https://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=11755#p66133

Yup, it's a shame that such a well documented bug has gone unfixed.
Good to finally have figured out my problem, only took a few days of tinkering to finally narrow it down to ABP and be able to make a relevant search to back up my hunch.

GPS + Data issues

Hello all, I have an XT1063 (Global, single sim) running Lollipop (5.0.2). When I first bought it, it came with Kitkat and everything was working perfectly. I was in the insider program so I got to test drive Lollipop earlier than most people, which was nice and didn't really mess anything up the first few builds. The last build, however, changed that. This is the currently available build to everyone, since the beta program is over. Anyway, the problem is that my GPS will not lock on to satellites, making all map/traffic apps completely useless. As if this wasn't enough, the phone often drops my data connection (H+) and when switching from WiFi to celular data, it can take upwards of 5 minutes to get a data signal.
Could this be a problem with the modem fimwares? What are my options? I've thought about going back to stock, even reset everything from the settings menu once (didn't revert to stock kitkat, just factory settings on Lollipop.) If I absolutely have to go back to stock kitkat, how would I do it?
Any and all help would be much appreciated!

Lollipop has a lot of issues... I have ****ty GPS lock too, but maybe that's because of my region.
I can agree with you on the frequent network drops though... Sadly, i have no solution for that, except to re-save the apn until you get the data working.
However, for the WiFi - cellular data switching, switch on "Aggressive Wi-Fi to Cellular Handover" in Developer Options.... It kinda solves my problem. (Still takes a minute for my data to work)

I see... It's sort of a relief knowing that I'm not alone in this. I've got a friend who has the same exact model, firmware, baseband, everything as me, but his phone is working without a problem...
Would you know of any guide i could follow to flash stock 4.4.4?

There are a couple of them in the development section... But I suggest before you downgrade, why not backup your data and factory reset in lollipop itself? See if your problems continue or not... You'll be wiping data anyways when you are downgrading.

I did perform a factory reset earlier today, but the problems persisted, so I've now downgraded to 4.4.4 and will be on the lookout for these issues for a few days before updating again.

That's cool. And you won't find any issues either... KitKat is rock solid stable.

Lollipop buggy. kitkat stable.
