Hi. I bought a Honor 5X a few weeks ago because the price was so good I couldn't resist it
I got a question regarding wi-fi. My home network is set to ch13, 2.4Ghz, and it's working fine with my other devices and the 5X, as long as I'm using stock rom.
I've tried Lineage OS and Cosmic OS on my 5X, but none of them can find my wi-fi ssid.
Changed to ch6 in my router just to test, and now it works, but all those low channels are crowded where I live, so ch13 seems to be a better option.
Why this limitation on custom roms?
Thanks in advance.
Hi my old friend. Glad to know that you have a H5X too

PLEASE CLOSE this post SOLVED
When I got the Mediapad X1 (503L) a couple months back it came with 4.2.2. and the wifi and cell signal were pretty weak and inconsistent. They were workable however...
I upgraded to 4.4.2 (B007) and it seemed to be a little better for a month or so, however lately in the last week or so it had seemed to take a downward spiral. The Wifi is connected but no data gets transferred at all. I have to put it in airplane mode to get the wifi to "reset"
Any one else notice this? This phone is great, but the wifi and 3G/4G stuff just seems to stall and hang way too much.
I'm located in the US on AT&T.
In my experience B006 was best for gsm signal. At the price of no 5GHz wifi.
2.4GHz works fine in both versions for me. But then I am in Europe................ .........

I can understand issues with 3G and 4G in USA as the phone is made and tested in China with different frequency needs,
But Wifi is the same everywhere isn't it?
No it isn't.
Until a few years ago you had to select USA, europe, or Japan when setting up a wifi network. This process is automated now based on network parameters "spied" by the modem.
Huawei implements this poorly or not at all on their chinese market devices, including the international 501L not intended for the US market.
The good news is: it isn't like it won't work at all. Sometimes it just helps changing the channel. The wifi analyzer app is a great tool...... .. .. ... ....
Otherwise one would have to extract the modem apk of a dedicated us provider from the rom.
Great information!
I'm using a 503L, Wifi in the US is very hit or miss. (Which makes sense now reading your post)
How do I get the phone to use a certain channel? That's up to the Wifi access point isn't it?

I used the app wifi analyzer to see which channel is the best.
And yes, then you change it in the router.
Phone is really getting bad now with signal, several times a day now The Wifi is connected but won't actually transfer any data, the same with 3G/4G. Sometimes even putting it into airplane mode doesn't fix it and I have to do a full reboot.
The other big problem is app being shut off automatically in the background. I use Google Hangouts and Line to chat with people and after a while those processes get closed and won't give me notifications until I manually open the app which seems to restart it.
I really hope there is a fix in the works (I'm on the B010 update)
The 4.2.2 seemed to be more reliable for signal issues and never closed apps in the background, however the performance of 4.2.2 was terrible...
Just a warning for any folks in the USA that are considering this phone.
Have clicked those apps in "power saving /protected apps"?
I don't know what to tell you about your comm issues. Wifi AND phone does not point to an antenna issue. Maybe a factory reset or loading the firmware once more?

Yes, they are setup as "Protected" still doesn't keep them from stopping.
I'm hoping we see another update from Huawei so I can start from scratch with the version instead of wiping what I already have.
Yeah, waiting is notva bad choice.
I am doing the same, waiting for a standalone B008 for my 503L. If that is no good I'll go back to B006.

The 503L is up to B010, not sure they will do a B008?
Forgot to mention that as long as 4.4.2 forces the dpi to 400, I ain't changing.

Yeah, that really needs to be fixed too. I am sort of getting used to the larger DPI, but the issue is app compatibility, so many apps won't install from the Google Play store with the 400DPI
Has anyone tried that Custom Recovery for the 503L? I sure which I could take a backup of the whole rom, i'd Probably got back to 4.2.2 as everything seemed to work better just performance was laggy.
@omniphil you could try the cwm at my thread. I got it from the German and Russian forums which in turn got it feom the Chinese forums.

I saw that thread, but after reading, it seemed like it only worked on the 501.
You could give it a shot. At worst you reflash your stock recovery. Use Flashify, incredibly easy.

Have installed Lineage OS on my Honor 5x. Everything is great except tethering which is not reliable. Have already posted a question https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/lineage-os-tethering-reliable-t3759404 regarding this subject three days ago and haven't got any reply.
I know that the Honor 5x is outdated and that the interest in this device is very limited today. But I still hope that some people have installed custom ROMs on this device and are using WiFi tethering.
So please: if anybody has installed a custom ROM on this device and can use WiFi tethering without regular interruptions, please post which ROM you are using. I really prefer not to go back to Android 6 Stock ROM.
Comeon people! 25 People have watched this thread. Can't imagine that nobody has installed a custom ROM on Honor 5x and hasn't used the device as a hotspot. Have over 100 apps on my device and it's so much work to try every custom ROM to find one that has a reliable WiFi Hotspot.
Thank you all advance for any feedback!
Can anybody explain why nobody is answering this very simple question? Do I violate any XDA regulations?
I would like to give you an answer but I tried many ROMs and not one had working WiFi so I dont know which ROMs have reliable WiFi Tethering

No you did nothing wrong.
I dont know what you mean by hot-spot not working well. It works for me on crdroid. But may be there are some interruptions which i dont notice.
Anyway, try adding net.thetering.noprovisioning in build prop to true

Thank you very much for your help! This helped a lot. But I don't know if tethering is working much better because I have rooted the device (had to do that for making the modification in build.prop), or if it's better because the net.thetering.noprovisioning=true modification.
Before rooting and this modification, hotspot clients briefly (5 to 20 seconds) disconnected all one to five minutes, details look https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/lineage-os-tethering-reliable-t3759404 .
After rooting and this modification, I could work for nearly three hours without any noticeable interruption . However, after three hours, the hotspot stopped working completely. The Honor 5x still showed that two clients are connected, but the hotspot was not visible anymore. Had to reboot the Honor 5x for making the hotspot working again.
I'm nearly sure that with Lineage OS, the hotspot doesn't work as it should without root. It always showed that 2 to 3 devices are connected when switching on the hotspot, even if not one device was connected. After rooting, the Honor 5x shows the correct number of connected devices. It's a disadvantage of Lineage OS compared to B370 Stock ROM that only the number of connected clients are visible, and not each connected client with it's MAC address.

Good if it works a bit better.
I made a tipo dont know if you corrected it yourself.
It is:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Tethering and not thetering.
Otherwise look on Google may be other settings can be set to not have a KO after 3 hours....

Thank you for the clarification. But this entry in build.prop makes no difference: The WLAN Hotspot stops working about every 30 minutes in average (between 5 minutes and 3 hours). Sometimes, reconnecting to the hotspot works, sometimes the hotspot ist no longer visible to client devices. On the Honor 5x, it says that 0 clients are connected. Disable and re-enable the hotspot does not help in this case. Have to enable/disable flight mode or reboot the Honor 5x.
Is it worth to try another custom ROM than Lineage OS? According the development threads, nearly all costom ROM's are derived from Lineage OS.

Its not that much to test another ROM. Backup your ROM los, DL a ROM with also gapps and try...
Citruscaf under yuweng thread but is from July2017.
Otherwise yes all los based.
EDIT: try last crdroid may be its a bit better.
Hi All,
I've just installed LineageOS on my Optus Mate 10 Pro and a few things are going a bit...crappy and would love a bit of help with. The WIFI is god awful. Are there modems or any files I can flash to get normal wifi performance on this ROM (I have nbn 100 and on my stock mate 10 pro, its 60mbps down, on this lineageOS, its 2meg down).
Many thanks!
I found a wifi fix on the forums.
Thanks all anyway. Now just got to fix the camera/video...

After installing almost every mainstream stable Oreo ROM I could find in this forum, I found a problem always recurring no matter what ROM I use, simply:
I can't receive any calls and SMS.
I am using a CDMA card, and I used every method I could use. But the problem remains. Only Pixel experience could keep the functionality. Pls,help.
Did try flashing latest oreo modem/firmwares.

It can be your, rom try different roms treble and non treble, your partition can also be damaged,
There are so many possibilities its hard to pin point exact cause of the problem, i hope you will find a fix.

It's so weird that only Pixel Experience works fine. I think I am gonna stick with it, for now.
Tip from me , do not fiddle with the Network settings alot , for example do not set the network to WCDMA/GSM mode. Use the modes that are higher in the menu with lots of Network modes.
Same issue here
I have the same issue- the 4G volte Airtel is not stable at all after installing all kinds of oreo roms.
Eventually i had to install the Europen version of MIUI rom which works so fine.
There is no issue when i use the MIUI basaed rom. however all other sorts of oreo roms have unstable thing.

but if I want the network to stay stable, i have to degrade it to 3G settings and then it works just fine... compromising the 4G speed
According to the issue- the network Bars are not stable, it comes and goes, also while playing online games such as clash royale, the internet disconnects, says try again on repeated occasions

Nope, none of the network settings work. Pixel Experience is definitely something weird by now… I still don't know why IT
's functioning and why it's not. Is it a GApps problem?

It's a custom ROM problem, my guess is the ROM supports loads of network modes while the phone doesn't. But the thing is you won't lose signal service after u change it but after a restart. This was especially a problem for me because i do not use 4G which is enabled by default. I'm on a modded MIUI Rom now, no such problems here...

"But the phone doesn't" seems like a weird reason because this place is exclusive for RedMi 5 Plus or Note 5.
Is there aby big difference between Note 5 and 5+?

The phone also doesn't have an OLED screen but still most of these ROM's have Smart pixels feature built in ... think about it.
