Sense 3.5 Radio - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not able to post in the dev section yet, but I noticed a couple other people having the same problem and I wasn't able to find a response. I'm running TDJ's darkside sense 3.5 rom and I have tried the beatmod bliss rom as well, but in both I am having wifi issues. I searched and couldn't find a response. I wasn't sure if it was radio issue and there is one that is recommended to run with sense 3.5 or if there is a fix out there. Every ten minutes or so it will lose connection to my wifi at home. I verified that the wifi is set to never disconnect and haven't had any issues with any aosp or sense 3.0 roms. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You must be having hardware problems or router issues. I'm on tdjs latest 3.5 and I have no problems with wifi. Nice and strong.
Go to your wifi settings and make sure sleep is set to never and performance is checked.

I have both never checked for sleep and best wifi performance. I was running TDJ's MIUI rom and didn't have any issues and my wife's mytouch 3g slide is on a stock rom and doesn't lose signal either. When I searched the thread for his sense 3.5 rom I saw one other person describing the same issue I'm having. Not sure what is going on.

Have you tried reseting your router?

Tried that too. I'm thinking I might try flashing a different radio. I'm running the most recent but I know that TDJ suggests using panache radio with miui. Not sure if it will fix anything.

yes, try the panache radio. i've gotten VERY good results.

I flashed the panache radio and I'm still having the same issue. I guess it must be something else. Gonna try another route.....

I'll write it again (and again, and again...) :
Radio has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with WiFi.
WiFi is completely under kernel control. It's NOT in the radio, neither HW- nor SW-wise.

[Q] HTC sense issues!

Anyone else having problem's waking up the screen when receiving phone calls? Or default ringtones continuously ringing without pausing? I love the rom,but this can be quite frustrating. On the other hand,cyanogenmod has been flawless for me.
I don't know exactly which ROM you're running, but I have the DZ running the stock Sense ROM, and I don't have those issues.
Sorry,yeah I 4 got 2 mention It's the virtuous Rom.

Sorry to hear that, I'm runnung the same ROM, no complaints so far, if in doubt you could always do a fresh install
Try using the pershoot kernel thats what i did and now the problem is gone =)
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Others using the same rom have experienced the same thing. Some believe its because of set CPU setting for screen off or the kernal. Check out the roms thread and search it. You'll find some tips that have helped others contain the problem.

All is well.
I actually ended up flashing the pershoot kernel and it worked like a charm. No problems since(sense). Thx 2 every 1 for their suggestion's.

Best ROM for wireless data?

Cyanogenmod 7 never got great wireless data in comparison to the stock rom, but it's to be expected as cm7 is AOSP.
Are there any roms that would get similar wireless strength? Maybe a pure sense rom or something (I really like it) The only reason I haven't used one like royalginger is because i saw that it's based on cm7... so basic features would probably work just as well as cm7.
Would also be nice if GPS worked well on said rom. It works fine in stock but once again, cm7 has issues with it.
I find miui to be the best. Wifi works great and my data speeds on T-Mobile network are as expected...but to each his own.

Evil 4G-HD. Data is solid and GPS works great. Plus you get the pure SENSE experience.
Wanna give my aosp 1.0.6 a try... I specifically tweaked for network performance. I just want some feedback

Random Service lost and reboots!!

Please help!!! I'm using a Mytouch 4g with CM7.02 with faux cm csf stock power smartass kernal. I keep getting random reboots, like three + a day, mostly while my phone is locked and sleeping. Plus I keep losing service completely!! I live in PITTSBURGH, SO I ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE 4G. So its not a signal issue. It happens while my phone is asleep mostly but it does it too while I'm using it. It usually only last a minute before it comes back but today it was gone for bout an hour till I restarted my phone. Any help would be highly appreciated.

One tried a lot of roms, cm7 is by far my fav. I haven't had this problem with cm7 till recently.

Start by using stock theme....themes can cause many issues. Can't help you if you aren't running base gingerbread rom ie no themes and whatnot

also why not keep the original Kernel it comes with?
theres nothing wrong with it, what do u gain by switching to faux's kernel?
no pun intended?
i remember Zinx mentioning to keep original kernel to prevent issues.

Keep the original CM7 kernal? My battery life was horrible and a friend told me to get a smartass kernal. My battery have greatly improved.
I was under the assumption that the smartass gov turns stuff off like wifi, etc.. when its asleep, so I thought it might be doing that to my service too.

have you tried a wipe and reflash?
The same keep happening to me out nowhere I just lose my signal and I don't even get H no more all I get is is 3g but I rarely works and I normally get H any ideas?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Just installed a new radio and so far no more problems. Fingers crossed!!
Relayed from Tofer's CM7 final v2 MyTouch 4g now with BluMagic theme! Go Steelers!!
Faux's kernel has been tested inside and out with CM7, and while a minority reported issues, most of them were resolved (after determining some sort of bad install/user error) so I can't imagine it has anything to do with it. See how the new radio runs, I've had signal drops before, but it went away after a crackflash, so I'm assuming you have some sort of rogue service or something that happened that was causing the issue. If it persists try a clean wipe and reinstall cm7.
Which radio do u recommend to flash and is it reversible u know just in case

[Q] HTC WIFI driver sucks, possible to use CM7 WIFI driver?

All HTC roms ive been on suck with wifi, wifi calling in specifics. HTC roms i can go about 10 feet before it starts getting distorted, when i had CM7 i was able to walk across the street and hold a convo, ive tried the Best wifi performance switch (which i think does nothing at all) and its the same issue.
Is it possible to use the CM7 wifi driver in the HTC rom?
Im not sure what Rom you are using but the problem is most likely with your kernel. Have you tried flashing a different Kernel?
This one might work for you
Fauxs GB sense kernel
If this kernel is not made for the ROM you are using dont flash it. find the correct one for your rom
CM7's WiFi drivers are ported to CM7 using HTC's sources... Change your kernel.

Hmm, What else could it possibly be?
I have this problem too and it is really frustrating
I have to literally put a wireless router on my desk I work on just to make it like a regular call
Im talking on my phone via wifi calling with royal sense Tmobile Mytouch 2.3.4 based rom right about 30ft away from the router and through two wall without any problems
Edit: However this sense rom is using GingerSensei 1.0, ckisgen custom kernel not faux

Radio question

I know radios are reginal but was woundering if Rom has an effect? Like if one radio is awsome for me on cm7 would a diff 1 be better on an ics or sense Rom?

Not in my experience. Its always been a location thing for me.

It looks complicated, so I'll find another one for you soon.
EDIT: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/70/what-is-radio-firmware
The radio firmware controls basic low-level functions like network connectivity, Wi-Fi, and GPS.
Usually upgrading your radio will not give you any new features but will fix connectivity issues, increase range or performance, decrease battery usage, or the like. Some ROM's require you to have the latest radio versions to work.
While a botched radio upgrade can brick your phone, the process is basically the same as upgrading your ROM. Just make sure not to unplug or power down your phone in the middle, make sure you trust the person who released the radio firmware, and try to read some comments or reviews.

Strike out WiFi and GPS. They have nothing to do with baseband, neither HW- nor SW-wise, and are controlled by drivers on application processor - in kernel/user space.
So if switch kernels there may be a better radio for me then works best with my current kernel

@invasion not quite what I was asking but glad you posted. My girls stock mt4g and had ota update that I haven,t, it has diff radio and she gets better signal. But I did learn New stuff thanks

Again:
Kernel governs WiFi/GPS/FM connectivity.
Baseband (radio) governs cellular network connectivity.
They're UNRELATED.
Thanks wasn't as clear in other post
