Double wifi speed of OP2
According to XDA Senior Member dreinulldrei, the WiFi configuration file used in the OnePlus 3 and 3T is the default one provided by Qualcomm. That’s not really an issue in and of itself, but the user discovered that the default configuration disabled channel bonding in the 2.4GHz frequency. 5GHz frequency networks have channel bonding enabled (and if you have access to this frequency, then it is advised you connect to it), but if your router only support the 2.4GHz frequency then this trick may be useful for you.
Enabling channel bonding should theoretically double your wireless throughput (as long as your router supports channel bonding), as the channel width increases from 20MHz to 40MHz. This trick is quite easy to implement, as all one needs to do is modify one line in WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini (located in /system/etc/wifi).

Original article - https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-double-the-wifi-speed-on-your-oneplus-3-3t/
I didn't get the maximum speed of my connection through my OnePlus 2 either. So I checked WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini (located in /system/etc/wifi)
to see if by any chance it's disabled on OP2 as well & YES!
Channel bonding in 2.4GHz frequency's disabled by default on OnePlus 2 as well.
Use following method to enable channel bonding in 2.4GHz frequency & speed up your connection,
Warning!
I won't be held responsible for any damaged/bricked devices. Use this guide at your own risk
In essence, there is a greater possibility for wireless interference if you enable a channel width of 40MHz. The exact reason why it increases interference is more complicated than is necessary to cover in this article, but in general “40MHz wide channels over 2.4GHz is not a good idea in urban areas where there is a high density of WiFi access points” to quote XDA Recognized Developer SultanXDA.
However, if you are located in a more rural or suburban area where there are few wireless networks to interfere with your own, this fix provides a free way to double your phone’s network speed. Try it out and let us know if it works for you!

Yes. Otherwise you can't edit the WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini file.

If your internet connection isn't as quick as his one, you won't see any difference. If you have a normal connection say below 20mbps you won't see a difference.

Maybe your router has channel bonding disabled. Plus make sure it's a 2.4GHz. For 5.0GHz it's already enabled in WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini

Yes, u right. My connection speed is 15mbps..
Seen on the XDA news portal for the OP3, I immediately did it for my OP2 and it works. Just a shame that I use 5GHz everywhere, so it doesn't add a use for me
Saw this for OP3 too. Did it on my OP2. Worked: faster Wifi. 150 mbps.
Then noticed Portable WiFi Hot-Spot stopped being detected by other devices (laptop, other phones).
Reverted changes same way: edit file, set to 0. Issue remained.
Finally solved by restoring a recent backup of System partition via TWRP.
Also, note that your router or access point must be 802.11n compatible, and enabled with correct settings. With older 802.11g models you are stuck at 54 Mbit/s anyway.
Little guide on that topic: https://www.lifewire.com/get-300-mbps-speed-on-802-11n-network-818267 (OP2 will get only 150MBps because it has one antenna)

Indeed you did.
Unfortunately I'm not savvy enough to understand how that warning is related to the HotSpot from my OP2 not being detected by even my car's Android stereo (which detected it before the change) even in my building's underground parking where there was no other WiFi network available... in theory, there would be no interference there if no other WiFi network is detected... right?
...or you meant the text in red? If so, I'm not putting blame on anyone! I was just commenting on my experience as I did see no mention of such problems so that others could would check this if they do need the hot-spot as I do.
Cheers!

I admire your contribution by sharing your issues after changing channel bonding. It's the reason forums like xda exists. What I meant was I added a 'Warning' section because there will be issues to be expected(for some). In that section I quoted discovered issues mentioned in the article.
As for your problem,
You said the problem existed even after reverting the change ? Right ? Maybe it's not the one caused the problem. Maybe something else did.

Yup. Undid the change in same way I applied it: set system to r/w, edit file, save, set system to r/o, reboot. I even tried wipe cache/Dalvik just in case too. No fix.
I can't say for sure it was this as I have no hard proof, but I'm pretty positive. Reason: In between the change and reverting it, I did nothing else to system (this is in fact first time I touch it) nor did I install any new apps. I'm very careful on changes and never apply more than one at a time or too frequently. This way I can isolate issues. And also that got solved by restoring system partition alone.
Anyway!! Just thought of reporting it for people to be aware and check this if they apply the change. If in fact the change has no impact over the hot-spot, then I did do something else and can't remember!
Thanks & Cheers!

Amazing! I'll try implementation of this into my ROM and see how it goes in general
This solved the old firmware question for me (3.5.6=random reboots, 3.1=WiFi drops). Now I can just use the 3.1 firmware without any downsides.

This was a mod on evo, can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=707218
Works for evo 3d as well.
Here is how to install:
Unzip the attachment and place bcm4329.ko on your sdcard
Now use a file manager ie., es file explorer and copy bcm4329.ko from your sdcard
Navigate to /system/lib/modules in your file manager then delete the existing bcm4329.ko and paste the new one.
For some reason i cant get this to flash right so i used this method, you can also push it through adb i am assuming, but i know this way works.
My router will not let me set N only but G stops at 54 mbps and mine was at 65 mbps so i'm sure it works. The other way to test is speedtest app do a test before and after modifying the files.
To mod the file yourself for other bases is simple:
Open bcm4329.ko in a hex editor and search for "nmode" without the quotes and replace the 2 instances of it with anything i used what the thread recommended "-----" without the quotes.
Can someone with N only please confirm it works
Here is a screenshot of it at 65 mbps:

I for some reason thought that the 3VO already had wireless-N enabled by default? Mine is currently on latest base n connected at 65MB but yeh technically wireless-N can get higher speeds. But I'm not sure if my Linksys E3200 is fully N or not either... Anyone else know anything bout that router? Oh, I'm currently on MeanROM 2.9 with stock kernel.

You guys would have to enable advanced performance for wifi. It's under wireless networks -> wifi -> hit the menu button and select advanced. Check the box for advanced performance. That will get you higher speeds but it drains battery faster.
You guys posting your getting 65+Mbps run a speed test on your phone and tell me what your getting.
My phone is telling me I am getting 65Mpbs but when I run speed test I get 2Mbps
I tried this and now I get an error when trying to turn wifi on in settings. I even set permissions correctly... Any ideas? Thank you.

65Mbps is the throughput of the router to the device, not the actual bandwidth the modem / your ISP is giving.

That makes sense. Flashed MeanROM with stock kernel and everything is back to normal. Now hitting 15mbps down on my phone.
So, essentially, this is totally pointless, right? Phones already support N OOB, and it breaks functionality in certain kernels?
Thanks for the effort, but no thanks.

Interesting did you try this so called "mod" that could be it, or it could just be the area of the house you are using the phone from. Like bigwillyg said you could go under wireless networks -> wifi -> hit the menu button and select advanced to perhaps force a higher transfer rate at the cost of higher battery life. Don't worry though 2Mbps should be fine for almost anything and you could use WiMax if you have it, when you really need speed.
How weird, opening my connect network, my speed is 13Mbps, but on Speedtest I'm hitting 23 Mbps download solid.
Edit: now my speed it updated correctly. Speeds 52Mbps and I clocked out at 25.99Mbps when toggling the High Performance WiFi option.
Hey guys,
I have been reading around the wlan_rx_wakelock since days now since I cannot get rid of this battery drain and just wanted to collect all the information out there and the solutions that worked for some people.
If you put your phone into airplane mode or just simply turn off WiFi you will see in better battery stats that the wlan_rx_wake wakelock will vanish and a deleted_wakelocks will turn up with a similar up time and battery drain percentage.
Some people wake up with a drained phone in the morning, some have a horrendous battery drain when in work on the work/school/university WiFi. Some people have found solutions, but for most it could be tracked back to a certain WiFi network. The wakelock doesn't appear when signed in on the home WiFi, but is present when at work. This shows it is not a problem of the phone itself, but the WIFI AP is the cause.
This is the basic information from the BBS thread here:
wlan_rx
Author(s): sven, credits to Entropy512 @xda-dev
Ranking: n/a
Speaking Name: wlan_rx
Rationale: Wifi chip received a packet from somewhere - On a Galaxy S II, lots of these combined with the fact that the device takes 650 msec to resume from suspend and 150 to go back to sleep means that occasional wifi packets coming in will skyrocket Android OS usage. As an extreme example, run the following from a Linux box when wifi sleep policy is "never" and watch your deep sleep percentages plummet, your battery drain, and Android OS skyrocket: ping -i 5 <wifi IP address of phone>
Know actions: Use a sniffer to determine the cause of the traffic.

To investigate what traffic is causing the constant wifi usage you can use Shark or Network Log to get a better resolution of the actual network traffic (source):
1. Shark for Android - Capture the packets with this. Use wireshark on your PC/MAC to read the captures.
2. Network Log (also in play store) : Will help identify which applications are using your network, on a per packet basis. Note, this is a higher level capture than Shark for Android. (As in, shark will capture every packet that hits the interface. Network log will not.)
Solutions:
use a static IP instead of DHCP (you may have to set a static IP every time you sign up in that particular network)
disable IPv6 protocol on your phone (Dorimanx kernels have an option for this in ST tweaks or you can use "Android Firewall" for this
update your router firmware
buy a gaming adapter for your Wifi network that gets the DHCP IP adress, but gives your phone a static IP (source)
optimise router settings: click
Windows network is causing the problem - solution here: click
Change wireless network encryption method, change wifi channel, instead of using auto baseband use only 2.4 or 5GHz baseband (Wi - Fi - advanced - Wi - Fi frequency band)
turn off uPNP in router/AP
t urn off netbios in windows network
Thoravukk FAQ tells you: Q. My device not entering deep sleep if i use Wifi?
A: That's not a Kernel issue! It's a Router and (Windows 7) Network problem. Disable IPv6, IP Helper service, shell hardware detection service and the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. Source: here
try different kernels: see below
Apps that have been demonstrated to cause the wakelock:
Dropbox (October 2012)
Several people have been able to get rid of this problem by using a different kernel:
If your wlan_rx wakelock is caused by the IPv6 problem then switching to Dorimanx 7.4x kernel will get rid of this problem as this kernel disables IPv6 for you.
People with Galaxy Nexus phones got rid of the problem by using the CMplusTuna kernel, which is not available for SGS2 unfortunately.
Another user got rid of the problem using "lean kernel" available for GNex and SGSIII.
i9300 users might get rid of it by using the Perseus Kernel "It's caused by the OS enabling some unwanted network filters, I disabled this now in Perseus 26.1 and it should also remove all drain." Source: here
Following up on network filtering and multicast I found this code project which seems to be merged into CM10.1:
bcmdhd: Change packet filter settings to block multicast
A common complaint of users is that battery life on wifi
is very poor, with frequent wlan_rx_wake wakelocks.
It turns out Samsung "opened up" the packet filter
settings from Gingerbread to ICS.
This makes them match the tuna configuration, minus
the filter to allow mDNS through (which lets a bunch
of other stuff through too.)
The original patch reverted to Gingerbread settings,
but it seems like the filter definitions changed
from GB to ICS.

Several users reported that they only have this problem in their work/school/university network. Many users mentioned a network called "eduroam" which is a worldwide network in universities besides the local network (which normally uses the same equipment). So it seems the WiFi equipment/settings cause our phones to be constantly awake. And many report they don't have good 3G reception in these kind of buildings, so they can't just go without WiFi sadly. I can confirm this as I only have the battery drain here in my university.
Also a very interesting in the common Networking forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738171
Kernel's I have tried without any luck:
Siyah 5.0.1
Dorimanx:7.44
Fluxi kernel: http://fluxi.xda-hosting.de/download.php?fname=./data/ota/files/fluxi-kernel-sgs2-XX.03-beta1.zip
N.E.A.K kernel: 2.1.2x http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576355
Shun Andromeda: 2-2-7
Dream Kernel: 2.7.5
Abyss Kernel: 2.0 F4
Maybe something is hidden in those Nexus kernels that would also work for the SGSII. Unfortunately I haven't got a clue about coding, so I am hoping that if we help together we find a solution.
Thanks for any input.

GB was wifi-awesome, ICS & JB came with that devious wlan wakelock.
Sent from the little guy
Yeah. JB seems to have it, too. Installed CM10.1 to get rid of it, but same problem unfortunately.
I have the same problem on both my tablet (TF300) and Samsung Galaxy S2.
When WiFi was enabled on my tablet and policy set to "Keep WiFi on during sleep = always) the battery went from 100% to 40 in 8 hours.
The next day I disabled WiFi completely and let the tablet be for 8 hours again, when I got home I still had 99%
Today I'm trying with WiFi enabled but WiFi-policy set to Never instead.
The reason why I've always used always as policy is that I read somewhere (could be a year maybe) that the battery would last longer with that setting. But that doesn't seem to apply to jellybean as it did with ICS.
Sorry for rambling.
I've tried disabling IPv6 and updated my router firmware as well, I'll get back with results later.
Cheers!
Yeah, it seems to respond better to static IP config than dynamic IP.

So i've had the same problem where my galaxy s3's battery has just gone to 0 in ~10 hours and i finally found the fix for it, this is what's causing it for me and might be what's causing it for you to, anyhow i'm gonna go step by step with what i did to find the culprit.
I downloaded an app called Network Log and let it log some of my traffic, i quickly found that packets where beeing sent by 192.168.1.74 wich is not any android device but my main computer and there i found the source of the problem, i was then searching around and stumbled across this post, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25876666&postcount=3
I found this line in the post,
Q: Wakelocks "wlan_rx_wake" wake up my device constantly what I can do about it?
A: The problem is neither Android nor the kernel, but the router and the (Windows7) network. In the network properties, uncheck "IPv6", disable the service "IP Helper", "Shell Hardware Detection" and "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service", which provide ongoing Traffic. Then they scored again 98% of deep sleep.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and i decided to look in to it, i started the "run" command in windows and wrote "services.msc" wich then boots up you services that's started by windows, after that it's pretty simple.
Find the line called Ip Helper and stop it after that right click it and chose properties and decided the start method as inactive, after that look up the "Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service" and do the exact same thing there, this actually fixed it, my computer for some reason got stuck on sending useless packets over the network and was sending it to my galaxy s3 along with my mothers galaxy note 10.1 (no other android devices where seeing this thou for some reason) and after setting those 2 to disable i now have had my phone at 99% battery for over an hour with wifi active.
I do hope this helps and i'm gonna post this in the other wifi_rx_wake posts i can find.

Hey,

It's an IP conflict, dynamic IP will drain your battery faster than Static.
Sent from the little guy
That's where i belive you're wrong, i have static ips on all my machines in my home so an ip conflict i highly doubt. As i said in my previous post, it shows that it's a specific ip that's sending packets to my phone constantly.
@damnation333 i can't really answer that i'm afraid, however you should be able to look up the ip and ask your ip department of the school/university if they could have a talk with the owner of the ip Network log does show what ip it is that's sending the packets .

have the same issue on optimus 4x hd. had it when we had 10a and 10b (ICS) firmwares, but after lg pushed 10f firmware (one of theirs changelog beeing: "improved wifi during sleep", the problem was gone.
So, before 10f firmware, when you ping your phone, the response was imediatelly, after 10f the ping response came only after a while like it should be during sleep.
(testing on iphone is the same result, it only asnswers ping request after a while, when it its sleeping)
So, after changing from 10f (ICS) to cyanogenmod (10.1.2) , the problem came back, because CM didnt probably implement this particuly fix. so in my opinion its a rom or kernell bug (i guess kernel) and nothig regarding to network, because i didnt change anything in my network & computers, only changed the ROM.
hi guys,
i have a question for you: ... since i needed to replace my previous wireless AP at home, I started to have a VERY STRANGE power-consumption profile on my Dinc4G! I already tried to (temporarily) restore an older (known good) nandroid-backup with now shows the SAME strangeness with the new AP.
basically the old one was a Netgear wlan-b/g only (WPA2) and the new one is also a Netgear, but MIMO dual-band a/n _or_ g/n (not simultaneously 2.4 & 5ghz, again WPA2). i already tested to restrict my Dinc4G to 5GHz only instead of auto-dualband ... restricted my Dinc4G to 2.4GHz only (and changed the AP to 2.4GHz as well for testing reasons) ... again no change at all
my current power-consumtion now basically looks like a seesaw/zigzag profile which essentially doubles my batt-%/hr :crying:

do you have ANY idea what kind of settings (on the wireless AP!) might cause this strange WiFi-wakeups on my Dinc4G apparently constantly ever 30min!!! ... i didn't change ANYTHING on my Dinc4G
already tried:
------------------
* 2.4GHz instead of 5GHz (on both phone and AP) => no change, still zigzags
* older nandroid (but with new AP) => no change, still zigzags
* wifi-off (just mobile-data) => higher power consumption in general, but no zigzag
+ could the MIMO be the reason (with 2-channels) instead of the regular plain wlan-g prior??
+ uPNP or sth similar??
+ just bad luck with the new wireless AP in general??
thanks for you ideas and/or insights
It could very well be the n part of your router. try going into the settings on your router and turning of the ability to do n.
n is a much faster internet connection, I could see it being just like idle time on 4g, how it can drain battery quickly. maybe with n there is a software loop.
good try. i had my AP set to "5ghz wlan a" only, thereby restricting it to a single channel ... so no MIMO ... but the zigzag-power usage remains >_<
dunno, seems like some continuous polling, keep-alive etc. i hope i can figure it out.

Do you have "Best Wi-Fi performance" selected? It's in the Advanced Wi-Fi menu.
no, "Best WiFi performance" is off and I hadn't changed a thing on my Dinc4G at all ... apart from selecting the new AP and entering its password.
yesterday, i tried to restrict the AP to "wlan g" (2.4GHz, single channel) only ... well the power usage is down to 1.6% instead of 1.9%, but the zigzag remains (). therefore it has neither anything with band nor channel-width to do.
well, still happening ... BUT at least one interesting news ... with WiFi OFF, _but_ mobile-data ON () my power-consumption when idle and screen-off in deepsleep now is well _below_ 1%/hr ... that used to be in the range of 3% at least!!
as i didn't change my ROM or actual location (town and cell-tower wise ) ... the only change i noticed that came to be were the recent updates on Google Maps (v7.4.0) and Google Play service (v.4.0.31) --> could those be in ANY way related to the new mobile-data low-power usage, like as if google changed their "google location service" code for lower power-usage (at least on mobile data), but wifi now uses more than it used to be??

yesterday,i just wanna try CM11,ererything is ok but my Netconnection.
then,i find APN setting solving my problem..
the fact is:a new problem,a trully problem comes..
My incredible 4G lte 's Power-consumption became fast very much
100% to 0%only used a morning.about 7am-11am..it drives me crazy...
Check your location settings. Kit Kat has a bug if you change location services to device only out helps a lot.

I can't find any setting to switch the 5Ghz Wifi ON, always 2.4Ghz.
Please help me. Gsmarena.com says the Poco F1 support 802.11ac. I check with AIDA64 the Poco has 5Ghz Wifi support.

Maybe it's on auto i also can't find settings related to 5ghz.
There are no such settings. I've never seen a phone with such. it's always available by default. if you can't find it on your phone's wifi network search then it's your internet modem issue. Either your modem does not support 5ghz or some other compatibility problem.

Lucky you, I still can't detect my 5Ghz Wifi SSD, I can connect to my 5Ghz with my laptop easily.
I can not find the Wifi Frequency setting on WIFI Setting / Additional Setting, I think it's ROM issue.
I use the latest official global stabil one.
It should show 5G wifi as below

Can you change channel frequency and see if that works? I changed mine to 44, and that seems to be working.

Other Xiaomi phones, to give as an example, redmi note 3 has an option to switch off or on 5 ghz scanning.
In fact you can select which among the two to be scanned for.
But, yes, unfortunately (according to me), Poco F1 doesn't have a switch. Both frequency wifi scanning are enabled by default.
And having an option will help us save battery.
india area with no 5g?
hello,
if i have my phone in india area, no 5g wifi but face unlock, and if i return in french area, no face unlock but wifi 5g
may be it can help you.

probably why ,region locked , lol still dont understand why they do this
I just had the same issue, had the phone set to indonesia, no see any 5ghz wifi. changed locations to india and boom it can see them.
This is just f*cked up behaviour from xiaomi.
Now it make more sense, im now in Indonesia and I can't see 5g wifi unless I turn on airplane mode. Wonder why there is a region lock.
It depends on your modem if it has an AP band, 5ghz frequency. And Pocophone F1 has wifi hotspot capable of switching of AP bands from 2.4ghz to 5ghz.
pocophone f1 5G problem.. FIX!!
same problem for me. but i already fix it by enabling wps on my modem just check the box on the top of wps save it and reboot your modem.
why cant we have a seprate scaning or priority mode. do you guys know any rom for poco which has this option available?
Use Fake Gps

Just try mocking ur regional location to some where xiaomi doesn't have any such restriction and try.

I have Mi Router 4A. I set everything up, changed the channel to 44 in the router. It was automatic 149, then 157. Cool.
Yes it does detect wifi 5ghz band and have the option in hotspot
But as of my knowledge it is present only in oreo to change the hotspot to 5ghz band
ok guys there has been alot of time i bought this awesome phone but there is an issue i am facing.. i live in a hostel and university has provided a wifi network which broadcast a network at 2.4ghZ and 5 ghz with same ssid. and as strength of 2.4 signals is always better when compared to 5ghz mobile conects with 2.4ghz. As there are above 200 students 2.4 is slow as hell. can you guys know any rom which has thr option to preffer 5ghz band.. waited so long but no rom developed that option any magisk module or work around which do the job will be apritiated. for the time being am sharing the same network from my laptop at 5ghz. is that really tough to add this option. please dont say to change network ssid as its nt in my control to change it

If that wifi has the same band 2.4ghz/5ghz over in one SSID, the phone will always pick up the strongest signal which is 2.4ghz. But now, Pocophone F1 doesn't have the feature to set manually the AP band you connect. I'm currently using LineageOS. Maybe in a certain custom rom, you could set the AP Band manually. Some users around in XDA Forums said that you can manually set it.

But Pocophone has no feature and setting to do that.
If you could find another SSID with 5ghz frequency band, if it is open or has a WPA2/WPA password (I assume that you got the password for that) then you can connect it on 5ghz frequency band.

thanx for your reply but as you described it only prefers 2.4ghz as it always has better signals as compared to 5ghz . do you know any rom which have this option .miui beta dont have that and no cutom rom i tried have it either.

LineageOS doesn't have this feature, changing which wifi frequency you want to connect.
Maybe in other custom roms? AOSP, HAVOC, PIXEL EXPERIENCE, NITROGEN, etc.
Just try them if you have time ?

I think this isn't what you want but I'm on PE and 5ghz performs way better than 2.4, if you have 2 networks just forget the 2.4 one. If they share the same network, Then I don't know if there's anything you can do about it (Apart from maybe logging to the router and hoping that the school left the password as 'admin' or something and then playing around with the settings.)

no luck in this respect as university has strict security protocol. yeap you are right when conected to 5ghz performace is way better than 2.4 ghz. lets see may be any one else has a better idea about this

I found an app for this on PlayStore. Wi-Fi Switcher. Though the main purpose of the app may be different, it allows you to choose the network and prefer 5 GHz to 2.4GHz. Try it or search for alternatives.

thank you i tried that app it has a prefference option but it changes the wifi to 5ghz for a while in 10 seconds it conects to 2.4ghz . thanks for sharing do share if you have any other sugestion
No update so far? Huh... What a waste of technology
guys .. same thing over poco m3 pro 5g! there is no option in PORTABLE HOTSPOT to change AP BAND or broadcast channel.. any help? this is how it looks on my old honor 8 pro
