My connection keep getting drop everytime when i tried to stream a show from my laptop for 20min. Any one else with this issue? suggestions? thx
i Was getting something similar mate. But when playing games over it on the Wifi sometimes it drops randomly. Noted though my router is a hog. Its made by virgin so its ultimatly "****"
yea thats what i thought at first but i brought another router and the problem still there
However the good news is that Nvidia are building a new Spalashtop THD version for the tegra 3. They showed it at CES and it was awesome. Albeit it wont be as awesome over the net, but on local WIFI it will be wicked fast.
Here is the Demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nyg2kZfF5A
Not sure how long we will be waiting, but I'm pretty sure if you keep an eye on the nvidia store we might see it pop up in the future.

OP: Do you have GotoMeeting installed on the host machine? Is windows setup to receive Remote Desktop connections?
I have the same problem, and I'm wondering if we have similar setups. I haven't had time to to play around with installing and uninstalling, but there may be a conflict going on.
I get a great connection on local as i should, but on non-local i get dropped signal too.
I read a support page from splashtop and their answer was "You have too many devices connected to the network"
Seems like they have a major design flaw or don't know what the hell they are talking about..
My name is Optimus Prime and I send this message..
I have had the same problem from day 1. It will work for a good 15 minutes.. then disconnect. Then maybe it will work 2 minutes before disconnecting. Very random. Found this on their website.
From Jaff at Splashtop:
Hi all,
We recently get a disconnection issue on Transformer Prime running ICS, our engineering is fixing it, please stay tuned.

The article talks about it not working with Android 3.2, but JAN 10th, it was hijacked for the Prime and now ICS.
Hope it helps.

i used to have this problem too, then i changed "keep wifi on during sleep" from never to always, and the problem went away.

Mine has been on always since day one, I suppose. JUST found the "Advanced" setting - lol. And it still disconnects.
Are you using the one that came preinstalled in MyCloud, or did you download it free from Amazon?
I am using the free one from Amazon - and it just disconnected twice in 4 minutes. Haven't tried the apparently older MyCloud version.

Well, tried that, and disconnected in about 4 minutes. I do like the look of the MyCloud version - having the Asusesque feel.
Anyway, it didn't work for me - but thanks for the suggestions! May work for someone else.

i'm waiting for a fix on this as well I'm actually using splashtop remotely to post this, but i get d/c every few minutes. I cant watch my lecture
yea im having the same issue on the my cloud version...i dont know if there's any difference but it happens even if I'm just browsing around on my desktop (not streaming music/video) sometimes happens quickly and often and sometimes it takes awhile...but it is constant..there isn't one time where I haven't been kicked...rather annoying...hopefully there is a fix...and this happens when I am connected to my home wifi (my desktop is directly connected to router via cat6) and when I am on some other network.
My network during the times I am using my cloud consists of my desktop, my tablet, and my phone active..all other wifi devices are turned off.
Any fix for this yet? I still have the same issues
Waiting for a fix here too.
I am also experiencing this problem, is there no fix.
I figured out this issue a while back (regarding the MyCloud version in particular) and there is no good news. The version bundled with MyCloud is a version that was released before the ICS fixes for Splashtop. If you goto the Google Play link for Splashtop or Splashtop HD and look through the changelog, you will see the following...
Splashtop Remote Desktop HD
Code:
v1.9.8.6
Fixed continuously disconnect issue on Ice Cream Sandwich issue
Splashtop Remote Desktop
Code:
Support Ice Cream Sandwich
These changes are both listed under the most current versions. Sadly the version that comes with MyCloud is version 1.1.0.6 r11494 and I do not believe that any of the ICS fixes are included in this version, therefore the only way to use the free MyCloud version without disconnects is to never upgrade to ICS. There is of course the other option, you could just purchase the THD version which was basically built for our tablets (I do not regret purchasing myself).

Anyone able to get the Vulkano app to work on their Atrix?
http://www.monsoonmultimedia.com/index.html
Nope. Doesn't work on mine (both wifi and 3g). It worked over wifi on my nexus one.
Same here. No go.
Vulkano - No access to P2P
Hello,
it seems that there are limitations to server access. The vulkano's app is working but I have an error message saying it can not reach P2P server...(both wifi & 3G+ connection)
We have to wait 1 or 2 months :
Thank you for contacting Monsoon Support.
Existing Android Player for Vulkano is not compatible with Atrix. We are developing a compatible Player for Atrix which would be there in a month or two.
Thank you for choosing Monsoon Multimedia.

1 or 2 months... or years :-(
Just noticed that a couple recent reviewers of the app have reported that it is working with their atrix's (on wifi) since updating to gingerbread.
After updating to GB I'm still having no luck on either wifi or 3g. Anyone here get it to work?
Vulkano App
I would also like to get this going. I’ve had my Vulkano for a few months now, and it’s worked with all my devices.
Now that I have an Atrix it doesn’t load past the buffering screen.
I’ve used it on my Evo (with variety of Roms both Froyo and GB and its worked on all of them), the eLocity A7 (Froyo and ported HC), and most importantly my Xoom tablet.
I did have to contact Monsoon when I first got my Xoom, and within a week or two I got an update an it started working.
Not sure why this doesn’t work on the Atrix (Froyo), I also tried it on the Droid 3 (GB), but no love there either.
Seems odd that it works with the Xoom but not on the Moto phones, perhaps the Vulkano doesn’t like BLUR.
I have a port of MotoBlur for the eLocity A7, I’ll have to try to test this and see if that makes a diff.
Hopefully Monsoon gets this going as this app/product has been awesome for me, and I would be bummed to completely lose this functionality as I have retired my Evo and don't like taking my Xoom too many places.

I used Vulkano app a lot with my Moto Milestone but Atrix is a no go. I also wrote to them and they replied they were working on an Atrix compatible version. No updates yet. It's sad.
I've ben corresponding with Monsoon as recent as this morning, and they've stated that the Atrix and Droid 3 both should work.
However, I am still running Froyo on my Atrix, and they requested I upgrade to GB for it to work. I don't plan on upgrading for another week or so, does anyone have the official GB on their phone that can test the app again? I've got version 2.0.100 on all my devices and it appears to be the latest.
I've asked them what the diff is, as it really shouldn't matter.
Could be the usual pass the buck line, but that's why we are here, to confirm reality!
I also ran into some problems trying to load Blur on my eLocity tablet to determine if maybe Blur has anything to do with it.
Joyo22 - What version of Android is the Milestone running? And does it run MotoBlur? I wanna say that there is a newer version of Blur that has come out with the latest Moto Phones, but I cannot be sure as this is my first Moto phone. Although, if I recall properly, the blur build I have for my tablet DOES NOT require a "Blur Acct" which leads me to believe this is a different version.
Thoughts anyone??
I was going to help you out but I went and checked out this Vulkano stuff and it appears it's equipment you have to buy to do things you can easily do for free. Also i don't watch live tv anymore, i stream everything over netflix or through the actual channels website. Good luck!
I finally unlocked and rooted my Atrix and loaded up Vulkano under the GB build and it works just fine. I've also tried out a few GB Roms, and had no issues either.
Monsoon stated there was an issue with the RTSP client in the Moto 2.2 build, and that it was resolved in their GB build.
Hopefully everyone's is working now. However, I did not use the official 4.5.91 OTA, only builds which were pre-rooted.

Well I have a Hava Platinum and Vulkano App did work well on my Milestone. I installed the latest version of Vulkano on my 2.3.4 Atrix and It won't load. ANy solution?
I see you are on ninja rom, I haven't tried that one yet.
I'll flash ninja on mine and see if it works.
It may take me a day or two (come on weekend!), as my Atrix is my daily phone.
You've got the platinum eh, I think I've got the lava and I'm using the free app. have you tried both apps? also what version(s) of the app are you using.

Is it working for you on 3g/cellular data connection?
I can only get it to work on the local wifi network that my hava platinum is connected to. When I try to connect with 3g or another wifi spot I get "Device is unreachable. Access to device may be blocked by your router or the internet service provider"
I'm on GB via OTA and rooted.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Edit: http://www.myhava.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3198 looks like it may be a problem with the router that my hava is connected to. Guess I will have to wait until the next time I get out to my parents house to get it configured properly. I'll post my results after I give it a try.
vulkano
Yeah mine works just fine over Sprint 3g on HTC Evo, Verizon's 3g on Moto Xoom, and on AT&T HSPA+ "4g" with Atrix. However, I have the Lava box, which there is something different with this box and the Flow box compared to the other 4 boxes Hava has (your platinum). Note the apps state this on the Android Market.
Have you tried emailing customer service, they were very responsive when I contacted them. Were even willing to review my logfiles to troubleshoot.
I think I had that issue, and had to check the port settings on the router. Its been a while though I'll have to go in and look at my settings to see what, if anything I did.
Try re-running the setup, I know I did that a few times over. Also on occasion I have to unplug and reboot my box as the connection seems to get locked up. Happened 2 or 3 times over several months.
Ninja SpeedFreak 4.5 works for me via 3g.
Try re-loading the rom, and don't forget to wipe dalvik
i am buy the flow today
do any one have free apk
USD 20 is very expansive
any one can help

Finally got out to my parents house where my hava is. Opened up the ports on the router mentioned in the hava forum and it works great over 3g and other wifi networks.
Between this, netflix and orb. I have all the streaming media I'll ever need.

The tablet is a fantastic device! However i do feel your pain with the wifi issues but this is still beta!
I've found that changing the channel on my wifi appears to limit the disconnects quite a bit.
Currently running on channel 4 2.427 Mhz but have read a lot of ppl running channel 10 so will test that out if i get more drops
Hope this helps

I was having issues trying to connect to the home WiFi. It would Attach just fine but as soon as the device either went to sleep or after a reboot it would fail.
I did a Google search and found a thread. They said it was the WiFi Channel If you have your WiFi Access Point set to Channels 1-5 you were fine 6-11 it would fail as I described above....
Sure enough, my was set to 11, to get away from the rest of the neighborhood.
So I set mine to 1, removed the connection from the Touchpad and re-added it and have not had a problem since.
Before I changed it, it would take forever to get it to release the connection. I just kept hitting "Wait" rather than "Force close" it would take several minutes but would eventually come up and allow me to Forget the network.
It worked

I was not having the wifi troubles that two other touchpad owners I know were having. I installed Android on both of their devices, but couldn't figure out what to do to fix it and it was making me insane. Finally, we reset all our routers to a channel below 5 and found that they all connected to wifi well, HOWEVER, I found a better solution. I don't know if anyone has noticed this, but this must be a setting I fiddled with on my TP, that the other two TP owners had not fiddled with.
Go into Wifi Settings, then click the Menu button at the bottom left (the three bars)... click Advanced then click Regulatory Domain. In my touchpad, I had clicked on the 11 Channel option. On the two touchpads that could not regularly connect to wifi, neither had a selection made whatsoever under "Regulatory Domain." After clicking "11 Channels," all three touchpads can connect to wifi with no issues AT ALL, no matter the channel.
I almost can't believe this hasn't been posted in other forums yet, because it seems to be the key and much easier than setting every router you want to connect to, to a different channel.
Please let me know if this works.
Hey Guys, just thought I would pass this info along that I found really interesting. I have a friend who recently purchased the Archos G9 tablet, which came with Honeycomb. His Wifi/GPS worked great during this time, but after updating to ICS, his wifi signal is considerably weaker,(even drops connections) and he can no longer get a GPS lock! Also, it seems to be a widespread problem for the recently released Archos devices. Before ICS, they had no wifi/GPS issues, but right after the update, numerous owners are reporting that they can no longer get a GPS lock, or they may only pick up one satellite even when outdoors, but lose the signals as soon as they are in motion. Now this seems to be one hell of a coincidence don't you think?? Can anyone confirm that GPS and wifi was better for them before updating to ICS?? I also attached the forum link for you guys as proof of the ICS update issue. Apparently, Archos is working with Google to determine the cause of the GPS/wifi issues since the update. Now I am not saying that ICS is the root cause of our issues, but it is possible that it is compounding the problem with the metal backed plate on our Primes. It's well known that Asus installed two wifi chips to compensate for the metal backing, but what if the ICS code is also hindering on the wifi/gps performance??
http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=63669&start=140
Interesting read for sure. Well hopefully the big surprise from Asus is a new firmware with most of the issues fixed. Can't wait to see what they have instore for us. Then can't wait for diamond to integrate the good parts into his rom so I can flash it =)

My Nexus One on unofficial ICS has the same wifi reception as on gingerbread. This being said, it also uses almost the same kernel and the same proprietary drivers as on gingerbread. My point is : ICS is not the problem. IF there is a software issue that can somehow be fixed, it should/must be done in the kernel/driver area.

Well.. I figure I have to reply to that post...
I have a Archos 80 G9 that I bought after reading too many horry stories on XDA, my heart was really set on a ATP but I figured that I would get a tablet that would a) be upgaded to ICS and b) I wouldn't mind giving way once the dust had settled and bugs have been ironed out.
I have been following these threads since the ATP hit the shelve, but they have not reached the ME where I live and after reading here there was now way I would buy an import without warranty support... So as I say I bought a cheapo Archos just to get me by.
I can now confirm the OP's statement. the Wifi problem is in ICS (can't say that about the GPS as I've not tested). I've read about you guys opening the boxx and from the start upgrading from HC to ICS so you've never seen the ATP running on HC. With the Archcos I had a good 2 month running on HC before the ICS upgrade so I can sure see the difference. The main problem I faced with the Archos on HC was anything using video - Youtube & Skype come to mind off the top of my head - they were both un-useable, but I figured you get what you pay for and let's see what the ICS upgrade brings.
Low and behold, after ICS, my WiFi is crap in comparision to before, I can't put my fingure on the issiue, but it's sure weaker connection, or doesn't connect automatically, or just won't allow me to load a web page! In addition, the touch screen is way less responsive in that I'm having topoke and poke again at the screen to make anything happen - that may be because the WiFi is crap so I don't have internet access, or it may be a touch screen issue. Either way it feels like I've jumped out of the pan and into the fire - no video before (now that is better), but I never know when I have internet access.
Well spotted OP... if there is anything I can test from here, let me know OK

That's exactly what I'm thinking. The new firmware fix could possibly address the WiFi issues which seems to be also caused by ICS. Maybe this is why Asus are returning RMA's with the same issues, could be that their dual WiFi components are working as intended, but ics is causing signal issues! This will be great news if the problem can be solved through a firmware update
Well if the wifi gets fixed on this tablet I will have zero complaints what so ever. GPS bothers me, but not much. Ill probably try to fix the small light bleed I have.
......and the thread blows up with speculation.... lol
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
I had GPS problems on the Prime before ICS. While there could be something in ICS that hinders GPS reception, I think it's well established that there are hardware problems with the Prime with respect to GPS and wifi reception.
My wifi seemed to be the same on HC as ICS; I haven't had any problems before or after upgrading.

I'm waiting for my friend to stop by to do a wifi comparison test with his archos. Wish there was a way to make thus topic a sticky.
Not saying the wifi problems couldnt be software related, but didnt some guy already take apart his prime and confirm an obvious wifi design flaw?

Nah, it's a myth. It is always a "s/w" problem... You should know that by now if you read this forum.
Ok, GPS issued is confirmed on the Archos G9 after my friend updated to ics. He didn't have the GPS test app prior ics, but on honeycomb he had no issues getting a GPS signal in seconds, an he confirmed that it worked in his car while driving to an from work. Now using the GPS test after updating to ics, it takes him in average of 2 minutes to pick up 3 satellites while outside, but he loses his signal when driving. Also, he has freezing issues when browsing an random reboots at least once a day. He's coming to my home now to do a wifi speed comparison, but he stated that he can no longer watch netflix when he is in his bedroom, while his router is in the living room(seperated by two walls). This to me is just one heck of a coincidence.
My tf101s wifi got really bad after ics update. Range was shorter, and disconnects.

I can see ICS maybe affecting wifi. as far as GPS, we know the components of the deadly cocktail already. software is part of it but doubt it bears more weight than design issues on some units. I do believe wifi can be tweaked or optimized even more so. I get good wifi reception n all but anything could be made better.
we do have an update to .16 which is due anyday now. I would've thought we would've gotten it already. maybe tonight or tomorrow. still awaiting the great prime news also. maybe they will announce 5 million units sold in 3 months..lol

I read about wifi problems on original transformer due to ICS as well. Heard asus pushed out an update to ty and fix it yesterday.
[QUOTQUOTE=shinzz;23629090]Nah, it's a myth. It is always a "s/w" problem... You should know that by now if you read this forum.[/QUOTE]
Obviously your joking right? I opened mine and can confirm it's hard ware. Attaching one piece of wire to the wireless connection gives nearly double the wifi performance for me.
I can support the GPS theory for sure... My GPS stopped working completely as soon as I upgraded my Prime to ICS. While still under HC, I could get a lock on 10-12 satellites ... though it took way longer than it should (like a few minutes). Haven't had much trouble with my wi-fi, so cannot tell if it degraded with ICS, or not.
So ICS is still very new and has still bugs in it. I dont see where this is any new information Have some patience. My prime (can only speak for me) is very usable right now and i know that it will only get better over time as software improves. This was the case on all my android devices and will be true for the prime as well.
The difference is that ICS was quite the step for android, a lot of visual changes and tweaks/improvements. So i think we will see a big improvement overall if something like Android 4.1 comes out.
But as i wanted to say this is not really news to me^^ I expected something like ICS to be somewhat buggy I mean look at iOS. 5.0 had the battery bug which is being fixed now with 5.1. This is half a year after the release of ios 5.
Ok, lets pull up a couple of statements real quick. This is a Archos tablet that is having Wi-fi problems after ICS. How does this relate to android? I understand that this is based on the idea of ICS doing this, but they are different companies. Asus makes tablets for their tablets and the Archos tablets is made for their company. The company making Archos could have made a mistake when altering it to make it compatible for the Archos tablet. Also it has been proven that the metal backplate on the prime blocks off the wi-fi signal dramatically. ICS on the prime is already covered as it is. Think about it, why would they make the TF700 with the specific backplate if they knew that this was a software problem?

What are you talking about?? Both tablets are running ICS, both have wifi/gps issues after updating.. I never said that ICS was the cause only... I am saying that it MAY contribute.. Could be an code issue within ICS that doesn't play well with wifi, which is only amplified by the Primes metal backing.
I and others will confirm that wifi an gps was fine for the Archos tablets before updating to ICS. People are also reporting browser crashes, freezes etc. So yes ICS is still a young os an could be added to at least the wifi issue
Hi guys I wrote to Sony asking about plans on upgrading to jelly beans our tablet and this was the answer I got:
Thank you for contacting Sony Support.
I understand that you want to upgrade the Android from Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwitch) to Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). Regretfully, due to all the variables involved with, testing, manufacturing, and distribution, we are not able to provide any definite release dates. However, the update will be available very soon and you will be notified with the notifier in the Tablet.

This is awesome news, good to see Sony do care about their customers. I would like to see the wifi issues addressed (Does anyone else have issues with their wifi?) apart from that the Sony Tablet S still has a lot of potential in the market, great price and awesome experience!

No wifi issues here its says low signal sometimes but been perfect so far

Great news
Well that is good news. I recently bought the tab and I love every bit of it. Haven't had any wireless issues. I really hope when sony releases the next update they also enable this device to control PS3. In my opinion that's the major hurdle right now in realizing the full potential of this device as a media controller.
No Wi-Fi issue even before the upgrade.

I know what you mean with the wifi issue - you are connected (wifi icon is present and blue and wifi says 'connected') but basically you have no communication.
somebody recommended "advanced wifi lock", free from Google Play and I'm running that now, so far it seems to fix it.

I have the problem when I lose connection on sleep mode set on Never, sometimes disconnects randomly and the application I tryed failed at certain times, Wifi bar lowers randomly and I lose connection even though the tablet said that there is a signal.
Hope Sony finds a fix for the Wi-fi

I'm very happy with my Tablet S, I have had the wifi stall on occasion but a quick off/on fixes it for me, think its happened no more than 5-6 times since I got the tablet.
I'm just hoping to root my official ICS and get write access to the sdcard, I've tried an unofficial CM10 rom on my Motorola Atrix and Jelly Bean with Google Now is definitely a mobile experience.......
But I'll take a Tablet S update for sure.

I'm so frustrated not sure what to do about it anymore. If I let me phone site idle anywhere from 10 minutes to 1+ hour. I will wake the phone it will show wifi is connected but there is no connectivity. No matter what app I go into, browser, slacker radio, play store etc. Nothing will load cause it can't connect. I have to toggle wifi widget off & back on before it will work again. The problem is intermittent as far as when it acts up but it usually does multiple times a day. It did it on stock rom, now stock with goodies 1.79 also just tried this method here but same issue. I have not updated my radios yet cause I don't want the new hboot but I might just update it to see if it will fix the issue.
Does anyone else run tomato firmware? My wifi router & home router both use tomato firmware so I'm not sure if it's just an issue with this or what. The same issue also happens on friends evo LTE at work. Tomato is some of the most rock solid firmware I have had and never had an issue like this with any other device or phone. Evo3D worked perfect and the orginal evo. I have tried everything I can think of to get it working from settings it to 2.4 only to replacing the settings apk nothing helps. I have no idea what to do about it anymore I have tried averting I can think of.
I guess I could try flashing different firmware on the router but I'd rather not. Does anyone else here run Tomato firmware 1.28 that could report if they have this issue or not? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone run tomato firmware or have this issue?

Try changing the security on the router to wep.
Its actually a very common problem on a lot of routers with wpa activated, its not just the phone

I have the problem. Don't think it is the router, since none of my other wifi devices have this problem, including my OG EVO. Tried a few of the fixes on the forum; so far, nothing's worked. I ended up using Llama to turn off my wifi when I'm at home and my screen is off, and turn it on when I'm at home and my screen is on; this way, my wifi is always cycled when my screen turns on.
Have not updated to the 2.13 firmware yet, though, since I'm waiting on some of the ROMs to get updated.
well I was just stating it is a known issue with routers in general, my father has a great internet connection, his brand new top of the line laptop has the exact same issue, my cousin's tablet on my dads router, same issue, he has wireless cameras for security, same issue, every time I go visit him, I power cycle his router and release all dns leases for good measure, My old (ancient by todays standards) Dell Inspiron laptop from 2000 runs Ubuntu with a work around that allows me to use windows firmware as a means to enable wireless, it reports a 2MB connection almost all the time and on his network, my dusty old wireless b/g runs circles around his spanking new wireless n laptop, the network manager used by Ubuntu will automatically disconnect and reconnect when ever this issue come up
edit: I just remembered stock has an issue when you enable best performance from wireless menu, something to check on
Thanks for some feedback, what I don't get this was never an issue with my 3D or my original evo. I'm running WPA2 AES at home and WPA TKIP at work. Exact same problem. Why is it only an issue with this phone and never had an issue with the other phones? I could use lama I suppose but I would rather not it should work correctly. I don't have any problems with any other device. I haven't seen any feedback on this issue except for now from you guys. I would have to think it isn't affecting that many people and I can't be the only one using WPA. I really don't wanna knock it down to WEP but it seems like there is no way to fix it. Since I have an office job and at home during the evening it's extremely frustrating to pick up your phone multiple times a day and nothing works. I guess I could try a different router or firmware but it has to be an issue with the phone have ran this router for years with lots of different devices and it's never had an issue.
I was never this frustrated with the original evo or the 3D. I have no idea how to fix this issue or where to even go from here. I'm seriously considering dumping this and getting a GSIII and I have been very loyal to HTC but between this wi-fi issue that I can't get rid of, the lame ass htc dev s-on restrictions and the horrible multi-tasking I'm really starting to dislike this phone. If I could fix this stupid wi-fi I could live with the other stuff. The only thing I haven't tried is updating my radios from the latest ota cause I didn't want the new hboot.

None of my other devices have this issue either just this phone. What router do you use? I have a WRT54GL with Tomato 1.28 at home and a WRT54GS with Tomato 1.28 at work.
I'm using a WRT54G (old one, equivalent to the -GL) running DD-WRT. It's been rock solid for everything else.

I wonder if it's something with the router then. Like I said I run Tomato on a WRT54GL at home & a WRT54GS at work. All 3 of our models are very similar hardware wise. I was thinking about trying DD-WRT which I don't really care for I prefer tomato. I don't really want to replace my router for 1 phone when everything else works perfect on the network. I even have three 3M-50 wifi thermostats hooked up at work and one 3M-50 at home. Even those have been rock solid no connection issues what so ever just this stupid phone.
Now that you mention it I had to do the exact same thing on my Asus rtn16 running tomato firmware.
I was running my Epic back then I thought it was the phone.
Running my EVO now with a Netgear 3800 I never have to toggle wifi for data.

I wonder if it's an issue with the aftermarket firmware but I just have never had issues on any other devices. I wonder if there is settings I could tweak to make it go away but I wouldn't know which settings to change.
Its the fact the wpask, tkip and other advanced encryptions are very broad standards, the hardware supports it but how well if supports it is the problem. Some routers implement the protocols in a very different way then others.
I.e. broadcom vs atheros, many atheros chipset fully support all standards while broadcom uses more proprietary implementations

Maybe it's time to just upgrade my routers. It just pisses me off I have used tomato for years without any issues on any device.
It happens, not much you can do about it. There's a whole consortium of these guys, you think the standards wouldn't be so lax. Then again they are still arguing about the new widi (yes thats a thing now) standards

I will say it has been much better, but not completely cured. Probably had to toggle twice in three or four days.
Well I have given the new radios a good run and I have to say the issue is pretty much cured. I have only had it happen one time and I'm not sure if my router just glitched or I didn't wait long enough. So I am very happy with the new radios & mean rom the phone has been rock solid. I was seriously considering getting rid of it because I couldn't stand the wi-fi dropping all the time it really made for a very poor experience. Yes I had to upgrade the hboot to upgrade the radios but I'm not gonna wait forever for s-off and I really don't think it's that big of deal. Mean rom now has an s-on kernel installer that automatically does it now so it really isn't any different. So anyone having trouble make sure you upgrade your radios see if it helps.
