[Q] Elelinux-7.1-Hero-v3.6 + Wifi - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm posting my question here, since i can't reply on the original thread.
Currently i'm running Elelinux-7.1-Hero-v3.6 (custom) on my HTC Hero.
First off all, great job and thank you so much for keeping the hero alive!!
Tried a lot of different roms and this one leaves the others far behind!
I do however have a small problem with wifi. The device is not "finding" my home network. It does find other networks in the area, and i have been able to log in on a friends network. But it doesnt find this particular one. Other devices (laptops, desktops) are able to connect to it, so i dont think that the issue lies with the network.
Previously i was running elelinux FROYO_2.2.1_Final_Android_Stock (special edition) and did not have this problem.
Is there anyone with the same/a similar problem? Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this?
Dont know if it matters, its an assus N-router.
Thank you

Have you tried to click "Add a wifi network" in the (empty) list of available networks to define SSID and security setting manually?

Thanks for the reply.
Yes i tried that allready, it still tells me it is not in range.
Dont know if it helps the wireless is 2.4 and 5 GHz

Just put Elelinux-7.1-Hero-v3.6 custom v2 on my phone and still have the same problem?
Any guesses?

Check if u can detect other wifi networks wit ur fone if not try a different rom,since u want something as stable as else's try herodeck...
If it does detect other wifi networks,check if ur home wifi is hidden or reset it...

I have the same ROM and I don't have any problems with wi-fi. Maybe there is an issue with the 802.11n compatibility. Are you able to force the AP into b/g mode?

Same Problem
i had the same problem so adjusted router to use B/G mode only and works fine now

maybe your WiFi is on one of the odd japanes channels 52 or so, make sure your choose something between channel1 and 11 in the 2,4Ghz Band

Thank you for all the replies!!
It got fixed!!
Didnt have to change from N to b/g
But tried Taknil's solution and changed channel from auto to somewhere between 1 and 11 in the 2.4 Ghz band (router went up to 13)
Works like a charm!!
Thank you all!

It happened to me to.
I've to give up the mod for now.

Hero can't find Wifi

Hello
My Hero (VillainROM 5.2 Release Candidate) won't find my Home Wifi.
All other Wifi he findes without problems.
Did other yours have this problem? Is there a fix!
Seems to be just a problem with 2.1 ROM.
Is there a app for=?
Thanks

Same issue here. Can find 20+ wifi networks in my apartment, but mine is missing.
I suppose this doesn't have nothing to do with developing...Wrong section...Even if I'm not a moderator is pretty annoying to see "there's 1 new topic!" when this is not related with Hero development...
oh i had that issue back when i first got my hero.
Do you have your wifi locked?
Cuz to finally get my hero to find my wifi I had to turn off the security and once it found my wifi i put the security back on and edited the settings on my hero to reflect that.
After multiple flashing of different ROMS i have never had this issue again.
It has something to do with your wifi radio channel.
Try Wifi Analyzer, which will help you map all wifi's around you and help you choose an other radio channel for your router. Scan and choose a channel that's not used.

Thats exactly what i've done. I'm using channel 8, as the only one among the networks i can find using WifiAnalyzer, so im pretty sure that thats not the issue.
why check in the villain thread or ask there or check villain.co.uk
Sent from my Hero using Tapatalk
that's very odd, try switching to 1, 6 or 11 then. Choose the one with least AP's on.
Still the same issue i have an apple airport.
First with 1.5 he finds now with the new roms he wants finde my Wifi

[Q] Cant see my Thomson WiFi

Hi Guys
My new HTC Gratia won't see my Thomson WiFi. I had the same issue with my HTC HD Mini too although at home it WILL see and connect to my Belkin N so I am unsure what the difference is between the two routers or what I could change here?
The Thomson that I cant see is a TWG870U
Best
Mark
Are you using a custom ROM or the original ROM?
Hiya
Android 2.2
Build number is 2.37.405.10
Software is 2.37.405.10
Bseband is 47.54.35.20U_7.13.35.13
I have not changed the phone since i unwrapped it.
Do you have any other wifi capable devices which do find your Thomson router?
Yes
Hiya
Yes my XPS can see the wifi no issues.

Maybe its the channel set on the router for broadcasting. You can either change the channel on the router to something like 11 or so, or you could go in the advanced settings in wifi settings on your phone, then change to first option (Regulatory domain) to the channel set on your router. I'm not sure if the option is available on the stock Gratia rom. Good luck!
Tried that and still no joy, most annoying The option you mention is not on my phone by the way.
Hi Guys
I finally figured this out!
Went into router and changed it from 5ghz to 2.5ghz and et voila now my phone can see it
Hope that helps someone

[Q] Home wifi not found

Hi
to begin I want to applogize if this question/problem has been asaked earlier but I gave up searching the forum or the internet.
I tried diffrent roms (GalaxyTask, Overcome, Task 650 and CM9) on my p7510 but It does not find my home wifi after flashing. However, when I use Stock or CM9 it recognizes my home wifi.
Has anyone a fix for that problem?
Can you give a little more information? What type of router (make + model)? are you using 2.4ghz or 5? wifi g or n?

I have a D-link 635 using wifi n.
The strange thing is that the tab finds my home network under the Cyanogenmod9 rom and stock rom but not under the Overcome, starburst or galaxy tab rom. This makes me think that it is not a router problem. I could be wrong tough.
I tried to set up the wifi manually but it did not work. I also tried to delete it from auto recognition before flashing a new rom. Still it finds many other wifi networks but not my home network.
Yeah, that's pretty weird. I'd post your question in task's thread; he's pretty good about figuring this stuff out. Also, I have to point this out: "CM9" is not available yet; what you have is the CM9 preview. Kind of has to be said so as not to confuse anyone with the real thing...
Try switching from wifi n to b or g (in your router configuration). Might bring you closer to a solution.
Also, you could try different channels to sort things out.
Wifi-Analyzer is a good app to analyse and fix Wifi Problems

I'm having wifi problems with my tab as well.
It worked fine with the stock rom. After I flashed task rom 10 the wifi range got realy bad. I mean bad like it only got 4 bars when standing right next to the router. In the next room, separated by a wall, it would got nothing. I did not change a thing in the router for months.
I thought it might be something related to HC 3.2 so I flashed the In Paris rom and the problem was gone. I might try another HC 3.2 rom to see if what happens but right now I'm probably going to wait for CM9 anyway.
btw my router is a asus rt-n56u

I´m currently on Overcome 2.1.1 (for 7500 3G Tab) and have no issue´s at all.
I can fully recommend it as a 3.2 ROM
Well my problem is that it does not find my home network at all. No matter which rom I flash except for the CM9 preview. I get a whole lot of other wifi networks but not mine. This makes me think that it is something that the rom does rather my router.
Change your router's channel plz.
Every router have 1-13 channels. It will be set to auto by default. Change it from 1-13, and you can find one to use.

The last 2 channels of the router do not show up on my rooted galaxy 10.1, I had to change the router channel because of this.

Unable to connect to wifi !FIXED!

Hey everyone. Im having bit of a problem. Today my wifi network disconected for a couple of seconds. Than it worked again. Evrything is connected exept for my phone. it was able to connect to it earlyer. I already contacted my internet provider and they said they couldn't do anything about it. (they gave me the usual steps like reset your router and stuff, didnt work) My phone wont even show the network on my screen. it is able to see other networks (but not connect cuz i dont know the password of my neighbors). Im running honor 5x w ressurection remix and twrp. i just flashed my rom to it yesterday, do you maybe think this has something to do with it?
I hope someone can help me.
Have you tried going into your saved networks and forgetting your home wifi network?
Are you certain your home network's 2.4Ghz range is working properly? Remember the Honor 5x cannot use/see 5Ghz wifi
So for anyone who is having this problem and might have read this for help, this is how i fixed it. Go onto your network settings (you can probably find it somewhere on your provider page) and change your wifi router chanel to either 1,6,or11 (those are most stable but others will work too). If that didn't fix it than i dont know what will.
I hope i helped someone with this post.

Wifi constantly dropping on X829

Hey guys,
I tried to find something about my problem, but there's only on thread here with a similar problem without any informations, so I decided to create a new one.
I'm sorry if there's already a solution and I was too dump to find it... If there's one, I'd be very thankful for a link.
So.... I own a X829 6/128 with a German SIM and it works very fine for me. After trying different ROM's I'm now at RR 5.8.5 @ 7.1.2 and it's really good.
But it doesn't matter which ROM I flash, I'm tortured by constantly wifi-drops.... In the meanwhile I even changed the router and repeater at home to different devices, played with the 2.4- and 5-GHz-bands and channels, and it doesn't matter what I choose (2.4/5 on the router or 2.4/5 on the repeater): The phone is constantly dropping the wifi.
Sometimes it's working for 30 minutes, sometimes it's dropping the connection after 5-10 seconds... I flashed different radio's, but no change.
It doesn't matter if I'm doing something "online" or if the phone's just lying on the table.
Thanks alot in advance!
Lot's of greetings an Merry Christmas!

Same phone, same problem.
But to be honest - i just realized when i read your post ... to me its like 99% its working and sometimes not then its in 3g 4g network. I usually do not even realize
Hey there,
nah, for me it's like vice versa. Mostly I can't even do a speedtest without the connection dropping...
Loading news? I have to try several times...
Download something? Hahaha, forget it!
Since the X829 has no B20 I really need Wifi at home, cause here's only Edge available besides LTE.
I'm really out of ideas.
Yesterday I found a thread about a Samsung phone with some similar problems, where the solution was diable the localisation via Wifi/Bluetooth, so I changed mine to GPS only, and it was working like a charm - at first.
After like 30-40 min. the same error occurred again.
Btw:
Here's the Hardware I have tried at home:
- Telekom Speedport Smart Router (Huawai) - replaced
- Telekom Speedport W925V (Arcadyan) - current
- TP-Link RE200 AC750 Repeater - replaced
- Netgear EX6150 AC1200 Repeater - current
As I said... I tried every configuration with a/b/g/n... Different channels instead of automatic...
It's really annoying.
Thanks alot for your help, but now go to you family y'all!
It's Christmas! This has time until after the holidays!

Soooooo..... You haven't really mentioned trying it elsewhere. Have the same problem at a different location? Do you have multiple devices using the WiFi? I had a similar problem when I bought a smart TV, while streaming Netflix router "kicked" off the other devices.

Yes. I haven't any Wifi's to try nearby. And when I connected so one in a restaurant for example, I haven't watched it all the time.
In the meanwhile I disabled the WiFi of the Router. I connected the repeater via cable and set it up as AP. No changes (the router can't drop a device which is not directly connected to it, right?). Also I gave the phone a static IP outside the DHCP-range, to make sure the router (DHCP server) can't kick me via releasing the IP.
(I've tried that because we use TV-over-IP "Telekom Entertain"... Usually the router uses WMM/QoS to make sure the bandwidth is always enough for TV Unfornately I can't change that, so I decided to set up the repeater as AP)
No real changes. Sometimes (like now) it's working like a charm. Sometimes it's dropping like every 10 seconds.
PS:
While I wrote this there was only one drop. ^^

Hmmm. I don't have that much experience with routers. But I can suggest 2 ideas.
At some point, at a different location, confirm its your device with the problem.
Second is try a VPN from your max.
Seems like a simple solution your missing. Assuming your phone is in working order, software solid, just WiFi dropping out sounds crazy. Especially if there hasn't been any other instances around the forum.
Good luck, sorry I haven't really helped.
Hello, I have the same problem as you, the only solution I found was to install the Rom CUOCO 92 28s, after installing, you go into WIFI, then advanced settings, look for WIFI frequency band, select "use only 2.4GHz band So, after that normal wifi works, unfortunately you're going to have to go back to Android 6.0.1, but your wifi will work

Still thanks for your replies and help thinking!
A VPN would also drop (it's not the transfer itself, the whole connection is gone), I think. And I noticed this problem first since I flashed an Android 7/N-ROM, as itsbianchi said.

Thanks alot! But I don't really wanna go a step backwards. I hope there's a stable/official 8/O-ROM soon to try. And I still can't figure out why they put away the possibility to manage your networks/settings on your own. -.-
But if there's no other option, I'll give it a try. Thank you!

Some update
I found in the dev-settings an option for a "more agressive handover" to mobile network.
When my understanding is correct it should handover to mobile network ealier, if the wifi-signal is weak. I just activated that setting, to see if the the connection is lost more often (because I thought that maybe the threshold of that setting is too high -> switching between my Wifi and Mobile all the time). But it seems that it's more stable now... I dunno why. I just checked it like an hour ago. Maybe there's no change, since sometimes the connection is pretty stable and sometimes it's dropping all the time. I'll just try it for the next hours/days...
Btw:
I was in a restaurant with an open wifi two days ago: Not one drop while I was there (I checked the connection as often as I could).
Maybe some food for thoughts for you guys...
Friend, enter the LAN settings of your router, but in the protocol of IPV6, and disable the assignment of IPV6, I was col this same problem.

I have similar problems with wifi. Wifi connection does not drop but I can't download large files or I can't install apps from Google Play store larger than 5 MB. Download process stops after several megabytes. I tried so many ROMs including Cuoco92's 23S and I tried "use only 2.4GHz band" setting in 23S but I haven't tried Cuoco92's 28S. Because I read a lot of bad comments about Cuoco's 28S. Do you think should I try Cuoco's 28S?
Or is it a hardware problem?
I have same problem. I have x820 and aosp 8.1
My Wifi connection is dropping the connection after 5-10 seconds...
