Every area I go where I know I used to have strong 3g, now my phone only ever says 1x and data speed matches. I'm running team XRON rc1. Anyone know why my 3g is gone? And/or know how i can fix it?
Any help is appreciated.

Stock rom doesn't show 1x. Ever. Custom roms do.
I realize that.. but I know I actually was on 3g before and now I am not. This isn't my first phone/custom rom.

I believe it is a mod done in the SystemUI.apk. Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208898
Edit** Maybe a kernel issue? I remember having the same issue on my EVO 4G with downloading roms and/or radios. What radio are you using?

Just the stock one I assume, unless the rom flashed something different. I'll have to flash another rom to see if it fixes it. I have seen the systemui edits that have borked 3g but I've ruled that out in my case.

The latest CDMA radio is 0.97.10.0530. Look in Baseband version is Settings and see what you have. If you have the older one, you can find the latest here:

I haven't seen any roms that include the radio. You usually have to manually update that yourself...

One more thing: If you haven't done it since flashing to Xron RC1, update your Profile in System Updates. I have seen others with signal/message issues after a root and fresh rom install...
Good luck!

Hey, guys.
I'm having some WiFi woes. First (after some trouble) I installed the official OTA update to ICS via the bootloader. I had an issue where my phone would only connect to WiFi if I prompted it to. If I step outside the WiFi zone, or even walk into an area with a different WAP (like at work) it'll disconnect and won't connect again until I turn the WiFi off and then on again. Now, I've installed Project Butter Speed ROM 6.0, and I'm having the same issues. My old G2 would connect flawlessly whenever I got in range of a WiFi network - no prompt from me, just saw it and connected.
Couple more points:
* WiFi is set to always on, even when screen is off.
* On both ROMs, I've checked the "Best Wi-Fi performance" option in the wireless advanced settings. (Does that actually do anything?)
Thanks!
P.S.
I had a choice, here: Resurrect this old thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25303368&highlight=wifi#post25303368), or make a new one. Sorry if I've made the frowned upon choice.
I'm having the same problem with SpeedRom 7.8 are you getting the same problem and if not did you find a fix? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I live off of wifi and I hate turning it on and off!
I am on NRGZ Rom and faux kernel and I do not have this problem

Yeah, I'm using Speed Rom 7.8 on the stock kernel, and I'm still having the issue. I ended up going another route: I purchased some NFC tags online (link below), and programmed one using "NFC Task Launcher" to turn the WiFi off and back on again. Then, I attached the tag to a little stand where I keep my phone on my desk at work. This way, I just pass it over the tag, and in about 10-15 seconds, it reconnects; I don't have to manually do it. Not the best solution, but one that works for me until a more permanent solution is found.
I may actually attempt to write myself a little widget that I can hit on my homescreen to toggle the WiFi off and on again. If anyone knows of anything that does this already, please let me know. It connects to my home WiFi about 80% of the time. Right now, I'm just living with it.
I remember reading an article on T-Mobile's forums where people complained about this. Apparently, HTC confirmed that it was a firmware issue with the WiFi, but hasn't done a blasted thing about it! Really frustrates me; they make solid phones, but the way they handle their software is absurd! They don't release the source on an open-source platform, they don't give you the option for a Sense-free overlay, and they DON'T FIX THE ISSUES WITH THE PHONES THEY'VE ALREADY PRODUCED. Honestly, for as much as I love the build and camera on the Amaze, if the new Nexus is anything like it, I'm ditching HTC alltogether. They will have lost a customer permanently. I wish there was a way I could let them know.
Anyway, in case you want to check out my alternate method:
NFC Task Launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DMsImNvbS5qd3NvZnQubmZjYWN0aW9ubGF1bmNoZXIiXQ..
NFC Tags: http://www.amazon.com/PREFORMATTED-...UTF8&qid=1349358760&sr=8-11&keywords=nfc+tags
I might also add that you can do some pretty cool stuff with these tags. For instance, I also have another one on my desk at work that, when scanned, turns off WiFi and turns on GPS for my route home. Many people use it to connect Bluetooth devices, queue up music playlists, launch navigation, etc. There's some really neat stuff you can do; I'm hoping NFC sticks around for a while.
Also, one more quick note: Because I love the website, and because this does make a great little universal stand, here's the phone stand that I'm using: http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/eb42/?srp=9
Let me know if you guys come up with some other good suggestions! I'm not looking to switch ROMs, because I REALLY like Speed Rom....
Thanks! :highfive:
Thanks for the awesome response. Really elaborate. That's a cool set up you got there. It wouldn't be as practical for me since I'm always one the move from one place to another at school. I was wondering if there is something that controls the wifi in the zip file that we would be able to pin point and swap it out with a rom that works. I tried out CM10 and the wifi auto connects for me, but I dropped them because they don't have any data (required for picture messages?).
Hmm this seems to be a kernel issue because cm10 uses aosp kernel and you also mentioned that HTC has acknowledged this problem which leads me to think the issue is with stock kernel. I have never had this issue but then again I never use stock kernel I use faux latest kernel and no issues with auto connection. So try flashing faux kernel on any sense based rom

I'm completely a noob when it comes to flashing kernels - can I just flash a new kernel and pick up right where I am with the ROM, or do I have to reflash the ROM after flashing a new kernel?
Thanks! I would LOVE to have this problem corrected!
Well I always flash a different kernel right after I flash a rom minimizes chances of boot loops and it's a lot faster to load up initially however you can flash a kernel right now on top of your current rom without a wipe but like I said the failure rate is higher from what I have noticed from past experiences or sometimes parts of the phone don't work the way they should (like wifi or bluetooth). Give it a shot if it doesn't work just wipe everything flash your rom and right after flash your kernel.

Oh always flash a kernel after you flash the rom not before it (otherwise the kernel in the rom will overwrite the kernel you flashed)

Thanks for all the advice, man! I'm going to try faux kernel, because that seems to be the best and most popular. There are some debates about what the best version is; got any advice on that?
Also, good grief! After a good few minutes of searching, I can't find the thread for faux kernel....
http://faux.androidro.ms/ruby-faux123-kernel-v022.zip
I have had no issues with this version (latest one I believe) along with speedrom7.8 you will be quite pleased. I do advise to put min cpu speed at 384 mhz and not 192 (which is default in faux kernel) to avoid random shutdowns /screen of death issues

Apparently not...
I flashed the kernel and cleared the Dalvik cache, (didn't reinstall the ROM) and it still isn't auto-connecting to the WiFi. I'm thinking that I'll clear the WiFi data, reflash the kernel, and see if that helps.
Thanks again for all your help so far!
--Edit--
Doesn't look like that worked, either. (sigh)
Just format everything except sd card flash your rom and then flash the kernel as this shouldn't be an issue with the phone heck I sometimes turn off wifi so it doesn't automatically connect if I don't need it lol

Yeah check inside system settings about phone and check what kernel you are on and post it in the thread it should look like the screen shot I have attached after flashing speed rom 7.8 and faux kernel.

My "About phone" looks like it says the same. Nothing seemed to have gone wrong with the kernel flash. Also, people have been talking about not being able to use Bluetooth w/ version 23 of Faux kernel, and needing to switch to an older one. I'm wondering about doing the same, because of the WiFi issues and the fact that I couldn't connect to a headset a few days ago.
Hmm I am using v22 so I don't know about that (I don't update something if I am getting what I need /want from it) and bluetooth works with v22

So am I using 22 or 23? I can't tell just from the number in the about phone menu.
(sigh) I was really hoping that I wouldn't have to reinstall the ROM from scratch. All the little nuances about your phone that you set up, you know? E-Mail updates schedules (I have 4 labels that I have different rules for), ringtones, etc. Not to mention, I barely slept last night, lol. Not something you want to do when you're tired.
Is there a WiFi config file that I could reset, or something along those lines?
Once again, thanks for all the help and suggestions.
So I tried out v19, 21 and 22 of faux kernel and no change. Note: all I did was load into recovery mode and install from zip using 4ext. I did not want to try a full wipe for the same reason mentioned by takingflight
I just thought of something: Do you need to be S-OFF in order to fully and/or successfully flash a kernel? I'm still S-ON.
Could this be the issue?
Title pretty much says it but just wondering if anyone has not been able to run custom kernels. It started with my attempt with Komodo etc., but I always get some form of screen flashes or massive FCs. Im am rooted with original 1.12 hboot. I have been able to successully load and run ROMs from Viper to AOKP, even CM10.1 but never able to run a custom kernel. I have wiped clean, reset and still no go. I am using the 2.2.1 TWRP so wondering if the newest TWRP would fix that ability? I know some of the EVO LTEs just wont run with a custom kernel but figured I would try.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Are you S-Off or S-On. I would flash the latest recovery just to be safe.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I've had the same issue with Komodo. I'm S-OFF 1.19. I tried on the latest twrp, 2.3.3, and even on a tip re-flashed 2.3.1
I was able to boot after flashing with 2.3.1, sometimes...but it really wasn't stable enough to even try to use. Constant reboots, FC's, bootloops, etc
The device I'm having this issue on is an insurance replacement from asurion, the 4th one to be exact. i never had this issue on any of the previous devices...my first was new via preorder, that was stolen, and the first 2 refurbs were returned due to other hardware defects, although at least they could run a custom f***ing kernel.
as far as I've been able to tell nobody has found the issue that makes some devices not take to a custom kernel.

Thanks for the replies. I am S-OFF, current baseband etc. I haven't tried the voltage mod, but will look into that and come back for questions if necessary. If you have any tips on the voltage mods etc, feel free to pass them on. I have tried to use Goo Manager to download the newest TWRP but kept getting errors but haven't tried today. Will try to get the most recent on and look at voltage mods. Its not a huge deal, I get great battery life and its fast enough but I wanted to at least see if there was something specific that I have been missing to run the kernels. Thanks for all the replies!
The Komodo kernel worked only after updating TWRP to newest and I also had to use the voltage mod as neither would load without it. Great advice and for first time I am running custom kernel on top of PACMAN ROM. I tried capped at 1.7 then 2.1 both work but the 2.1 started to indicate some weird results within minutes of loading. I backed down to 1.9/384 and looks to be the sweet spot. Thanks again!

So I'm rooted with an unlocked BL, stock ROM, and using a custom kernel to enable Logo2Menu. However, starting today WiFi calling is now rebooting the phone on any call. I've been running the custom kernel for a few days without issues and had WiFi calling working last night.
Does WiFi calling rely on the kernel or is it part of the ROM? Has anyone experienced this yet? I have terrible service at home, so this is pretty important. Thanks.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Yes Wi-Fi calling relies in the kernel.

So why did it work prior to today? I didn't flash the kernel today. Is there a stock TMo kernel?
Also, do you have proof of this or speculation?

I've been running the bulletproof kernel for a few days and Wifi calling works fine. Did you make a Nandroid backup?

Same here.
Hello, I have had my phone for about a week now. I bootloader unlocked using HTC Dev and now s-off with moonshine. I am on stock rooted ROM with the latest software version. Every time I flash a new ROM, everything works but WiFi. Networks show up and everything and it tried to connect but it doesn't. Am I forgetting to flash something? I am using the latest version of TWRP and even tried Clockwork. WiFi won't connect with either recovery.

I also forgot to mention that I do a full wipe also. Data, dalvik, cache, and system.
Sent from my EVO using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
What ROM's have you flashed? Did you have this issue when you were stock? If so you may have a hardware issue.
Also, stay away from ClockWorkMod, as it can be problematic on the EVO LTE.
Everything works fine on stock. I have flashed CM 10.2, Evervolv, Vanir AOSP, Avatar, and maybe a few others i can't remember. Everything seems fine when I flash, except the wifi issue. I was thinking maybe it was a kernel issue, but I don't think so now.

You can try toggling airplane mode on and off, and try to connect. Not much else I can think of. WiFi always seems to be a little wonky on AOSP, at least for me, anyhow, but I can always get it to work.
I will try that, thanks. Will report back. I remember I had to do that a few times on another device to get WiFi working properly.

There might be some patches available for that... so checkout the developer's page and also view their changelog in order to make sure that its not a bug....

By chance do you have ATT Uverse? Just curious if yours is the same issue. My phone will only connect/disconnect to wifi when it wants to. I only have that problem on AOSP roms though, not on Sense roms.
I have been searching the last couple hours researching and still can't find the problem. I am trying to flash AOSP Roms. I will try a Sense rom and report back. Thanks, you guys..
