I have found, no matter which rom i am in, save stock rom, that every time i power off the wifi to save power, when i turn it back on, the mac address of my device has changed. Don't say its impossible, because it is happening. This makes it impossible to setup mac address filtering, and makes it difficult to stay authenticated when at university. This also happens on my phone running custom roms as well. any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
wow, that's odd
That is really strange - if this is happening on both your tablet and phone, is there a common apk you have installed on both devices that may have a Mac spoofing feature that needs to be disabled?
I have never got into running custom roms, so someone else here may have more of a clue as to what is going on. I stick with stock rom with custom kernel, sure it may not be as fast or pretty as some of the awesome custom roms out there, but I was unable to find a custom rom for the Iconia that does not break some feature. Heck, I actually use my rotation lock switch

I was wondering if someone could please help me with this or explain it
I'm a bit of a flash addict, I flash at least 2 ROMs a week sometimes a lot more, purely because I love one day having a completely different phone to the one I had the day before. I've been on XDA since before Christmas and have been flashing that long, mostly in the back.
But with some ROMs I've needed to input full ip settings before it'll connect to my home router and at school, both of which are different so I have to stand there for a while typing it all in, but with others it just connects
I've tried different kernels (And scheduler) but that doesn't seem to effect it, as I always use lees latest kernel, but have tried others to fix this problem and I've tried kernels that I've had working on ROMs, so from this I deduced there's something in the ROM.
Normally (and usually) I'd just switch ROMs, but I would really like to use synergy so any ideas or help?
Thanks, Joe
Hi there
I Have recently flashed the honeyvillain 3.7 kernel to my A501 running Taboonays ROM 2.2 with great success, i had my tablet running at 1.2GHZ most of the time which was lovely, after about a week though, it would freeze entirely when using any internet connectivity, wifi and mobile data. e.g running the web browser or skype calling would result in a crash after an undefined amount of time 100% everytime. everything else on the tablet works fine, nothing else is unusual at all except this freezing during internet usage. I was wondering if anyone else had run into a similar problem and if they had would they please be able to help me find a solution?
Much appreciated guys! Thankyou!

Sure you don't just have the wifi drop out, that will do the freeze.
Easy solution would be to reformat and reload your rom. Pain in the a, I know lol. But unless you find another solution it'll be what youll have to end up doing. You could actually just try reformatting your data, not system, and that may or may not fix it. You could also try flashing another kernel.
Just throwing out ideas BTW .
Reflashing the rom and/or kernel, will have no effect. The problem will still remain.
I've been chasing this issue for some time, and as near as I can tell, the internal 3g is very sensitive to "cooked" kernels. More than likely due to voltage modifications to the board and also processor. The modifications are done to increase battery life for overclocking. It's a very fine line.
Unfortunately, it doesn't effect "all" 501's, and this may be in part due to certain revisions on the internal hardware during manufacturing. Sort of hit and miss.
However, after flashing every 501 rom and kernel combination, I have settled on this solution.
For Rom, Harkon. It's the least cooked I believe.
For kernel, you can use what comes with Harkon, or Thors 3.9r3 kernel.
But, the catch, is that you have to leave your wifi on when out and about town. Don't ask why, but after I left the setting ON, the problem went away for almost 4 weeks now. You still get 3g when a wifi connection is not available, and a small loss in battery power, but at least you shouldn't get the screen freeze, or the "sleep of death" (won't wake up and have to do a hard boot).
Hope it works for you.
Sounds like you need to reflash, i was having the same issue when watching youtube on Thors rom, I relashed and it worked just fine.
Hey all. I do not know any reports about this so I wanted to make a thread revolving around it.
I do not go out much and have bad data plan, so at home I really lie using Wifi, or anywhere where a spot is available. I noticed now though that after activating the wifi, it can take time, but every so often the wifi would still be connected, but all data moveent halts, as if clogged hole, hence description of the problem. After you close and open wifi connection and it reconnects, everything goes fine until next clogging.
Is this problem specific to me only, anyone else noticed this?
Is this problem 2.3.5 and .35 kernel specific? Is anyone on 2.2 froyo and .32 kernel having this problem?
Custom roms: does current MIUI for example suffer from this?
I am trying to find something abou this, if it is U8800 harware specific problm, then I just continue dealing with it, but if it is software based, I will try to fix it. Even if it needs downgrading or anything.
Yes, had this myself... It's very annoying and it usually happens if I reboot when Wi-Fi is already on, or wake-up the device from sleeping when wifi was on. But I can pretty much detect when it happens, the "Wi-Fi" icon stays gray, which means it did not connect to Google servers properly.
It's not hardware specific, I'm 90% sure it's the kernel (like all other fails in .35). I was using CM7 based on .32 before, and it had super fast Wi-Fi with no fails.
Yeah. I can get little by luttle more nnoyed by the anticts 2.3.5 - i should do the trick for pink screen and reinstall froyo. Is there a froyo mod for the quick wifi access and stuff from notification bar? Ah, like i need that if after it my wifi works perfectly.
No wonder official huawei.com site and product catalog do not list it as 2.3.5 device or offer update for it. For now I really think I am better off downgrading and waiting in lay...
Has anyone had an issue where the internet just spontaneously shutdown on you?
Talk about annoying!
Have anyone run across this and any solutions?
Thanks!

Try a custom from if ur feeling adventurous
Funny thing is I've never considered it like I've done with my phones. So perhaps I need to check out some custom ROMs!

I changed the channel on my wireless access point and so far so good. Yes it was very annoying!!

It used to happen to me on Stock all the time. On EOS everything is fine.
On my mom's old Netgear Wireless B router whenever I connect my Xoom to it the internet will last for about 30-40 seconds then it stops working although the SSID is still broadcasting there's no internet on either my Xoom or my mother's Laptop. Wired devices still have internet. Rebooting the router solves the problem until the Xoom connects again. Tried changing every possible setting including; fixed IP reservation, broadcast channel change, WEP-, WPA- and MAC filter on/off. Nothing works.
I was sad to learn that android does not support ad-hoc mode for tethering (as I was used to doing that before with Symbian phones and Netbooks)
have the same problem. any solution? team eos ics 1.0.0 already changed channel on router still same problem
Yeah my xoom is wifi only and it happens on my work and home wifi.
Not sure when I use the mobile hotspot on my phone though.

Happens to me from time to time, but if it makes you feel any better - it occurs more often on my wife's iPad than it does on my Moto Xoom...

You know what? THAT DOES make me feel better! haha
I wonder if this is why I can't get netflix to work every night when I'm at home. I'd be interested in knowing if there is a fix for this.
I've thought about flashing the EOS ROM, but aren't there still bugs with it? I can't get an answer as to the actual benefits of flashing this ROM over staying on Stock ICS.
Any thoughts or comments, I'd be greatly appreciative if some of the users of EOS could offer the benefits of this.

The team EOS roms are solid. They have a stable build available if you don't want to flash a nightly. The roms have plenty of enhancement to the kernel and interface. Also the custom toggles on the notification menu is awesome. Faster boot times. Being able to use wifi while on airplane mode so the 4g or 3g doesn't kill you battery. You can also overclock your device. Finally you can enable the xoom to decrease brightness without hitting the power button twice and turning the charging light while on. Being rooted also has its benefits.
Don't be afraid. Team EOS is your friend.

I've never considered flashing my xoom. If EOS is that good. Is there instructions on how to do it?
I had this problem also. I changed the channel and the type of wireless to G (I normally set it to N type). So far, everything is fine.
It does happen to me also. The worst thing is you need to restart the tablet to turn the connection back up.
Hello guys, i'm getting crazy about this because, after trying a lot of custom and some official roms i keep having this problem: when bluetooth is active wifi is slow and become useless many times, not every times tho, which makes me even more confused but i'm pretty sure i've made a right diagnose of the problem and it's BT and Wifi interfering...
It's logical to think this must be a hardware issue, specially if you havent experienced it, and i might even try it in another p8 i have (i havent tried yet because it needs a new screen)
As a user i just can't live without bluetooth, maybe some of you didnt noticed it but you also have this issue... i'm just almost all day using bluetooth audio.
In case you experienced this problem, can you suggest any solution ? i'm sure this has to be a repeated problem in many devices due to the similar frequency range BT and Wifi operates (congratulations to the ones who decided to make this standards this way)
In the moment i think every custom rom i tried had some little imperfection or issue and, right now my choice is EMUi 4.1, for me the most valuable thing is the feeling of the OS, the stability, fluidity, consistence, elegance of the interface, and i can have all that with this firmware despite this f***** problem which is a total red line for me. Of course i'd root and customize EMUI a little bit...
BTW... i seem to worried for a 7 years old phone that i just love to have in my hand but its supposed to be just a spare phone while my main one waits for a fix... well yes, i got excited, and frustrated, and excited again... but i guess i will have to accept this dramatic situation and fix my new phone asap.
Suggestion of any custom rom or general solution for this ? thank you guys
