Wifi problem

Hello guys, I download all cm7 roms , like royal ginger , nighties, and more all I get is 1 wifi bar and sometimes 3 but it drops to 1 right away. Is there anyway to fix this?
Thanks

Have you tried different radios+kernels?

Have you tried getting closer to the WiFi router, or putting it closer to you?
Radios and kernels won't help, if the problem persists over different ROMs - it's either HW problem (WiFi antenna connection) or lack of knowledge and high expectations. And radio has nothing to do with WiFi whatsoever.

Signal help

So I bought this phone about a week ago, and have noticed something rather odd...the signal is never locked, it is either emergency calls only or mobile network not available or it does work...but when it does work it lasts for like 3 minutes... I live in Honduras and don't know what the issue might be.. I used to have a captivate and had the best signal one can ask for...any help?

Try flashing a different modem. Check siky_dudes thread in dev section.

silkys thread is only for cm7/cm9/miui modems!

Im running ics aokp milestone 4...the problem persists...is there any modem thread you guys can refer me to?

It'll not help to flash another rom or modem! I had the same problem, tried almost every modem/rom but couldn't solve it. I think one out of 100000 i9000's has signal problems.
I don't recommend to do this;
I used to solve it by plugging in an isolated copper wire into the coaxial input on the back of the device. Here's a link to the thread I started with two videos.

Dude, give that thing back if you can!! Nothing will help! You can do whatever you want, but you'll never achive more than 7-15% more signal and that's nothing relevant!!

i have same problem after new ICS updates it take like 1-3 minute to get network signal i tried different modems and still nothing

It has improved inside the city, i go to school outside of town and there I have no signal...at least I can call and text from home...

First of all you should determine what might have caused the error.
Signal problems can be caused by hardware, software or network provider:
- If the problem occurred after a software update (which is usually change the modem driver) You should flash back the old modem
- If you didn't update or change firmware or the modem it can be a hardware issue (dropped phone, water damage etc.) If you don't experience hw you wouldn't disassemble.Give it to someone who has experience in this topic.
- Sometimes signal problem can be cause by the network provider (network error or upgrade) It is usually temporary problem you have to wait and get good signal few hours/days later.
I hope I helped in the first step to get to the final solution.

Have you flashed any custom rom or is it on stock rom? Btw you should have posted it in general section this is dev section

1) you are not able to connect to the wifi at all? If yes it's a rom compatibility issue.. Make sure you have busybox updated and always restart with wifi on...
2) you're disconnected and connected automatically frequently?
I'm also facing this issue.. It's not rom issue nor kernel issue.. It's an issue with the wifi router and sgy incompatible with some specific routers..i have a net gear and normal router with two different Internet connections.. The net gear one is stable and doesn't disconnect where as the normal one connects wifi works but it gets disconnected every 3/4 mins and reconnects back.. I have galaxy s2 which works fine with the both routers.. So I guess some routers are buggy with our sgy..

Thats what I mentioned ..My galaxy S2 had no problem where as SGY disconnects frequently..SGY is incompatible with some routers..I tried many wifi fixing apps from market and none worked..

Hmm i guess waiting for a new stock rom wid new wifi driver kernel

Try changing the type of security of your router,
Eg. From wep to wpa

I m also getting same issue with sgy and belkin router.
Nothing works. It always disconnect and connected automatically.
So its surely device - router incompatibility.
Btw you must have to ask it in general sectin.

If it really annoys you, consider switching to a different router. I had also other issues (WPS) particularly with belkin.

if its still under warranty u can get the phone replaced either from the shop or service centre. i recommend to replace the device from the shop though samsung service centres arent trustworthy.

I'm just learning reading xda myself, if I remember correctly it's your current kernel not matching. Seems I read that on a couple different threads.???? Keep reading and someone please let us know if I'm wrong. Thank you

Does this only happen on your router or all wifi signals.
Only thing I can think of is updating the router software and see if this changes things at all.

That's really weird because I used that same method to fixing my WiFi problem and it works. Double check to see if you changed the right one.. =\ all I can say man
Google Nexus 4

Turn off BMPS (Set it to 0) in the wifi ini. This should theoretically remove all slowdowns but will prevent your phone from sleeping (with wifi on). Another solution is to download Franco Kernel with Prima Drivers and force wireless G mode in the ini.

This includes the latest Franco Kernel (Way Better than M2) + Prima Drivers. Try to test this first before we force wireless G mode
