So I'm asking this question to find out more info about WiFi radio, is there ?? and what does it do, I was on stock MT4g and had both 5 ghz and 2.4 ghz bands from my router on my phone, and now I get only 2.4 ghz band with this rom, and I have tried many roms lately and none work like the stock rom....
so can you flash a different WiFi radio or not, and where do you find them
There is no "WiFi radio". There are WiFi drivers in the kernel.
You change them by changing the kernel.
And I guess that the custom kernels out now for MyTouch 4G don't support 5GHz bands.
This question was discussed here recently. With Cyanogenmod 7.1 and standard CM7 kernel I do have 5 GHz Wi-Fi supported.
Btw, it is believed that lack of 5 GHz is somehow related to Sense Framework, and not to custom kernels. So in Sense-based ROMs you don't see 5 GHz Wi-Fi, while in others do. Of course this conclusion might be invalid.
Sense has a different line of kernels from CM7. Those kernels aren't interchangeable, and I don't know how many drivers do they share. Possibly that difference is responsible for the lack of 5GHz support.
Official MySense 2.3.4 supports 5ghz, I believe. Have you tried flashing it?

Are you sure, i was assuming it was on the hardware side...If that is so there is nothing you can do to get the 5ghz band
Hardware does support it. I saw a thread where someone posted that after getting the GB OTA they all of a sudden got 5ghz frequencies. Someone responded by saying the chip always supported it, but there was no driver in the kernel. That TMoUS must have added the modules into the new kernel.

I am having a similar issue with my wifi on my mt4g. My issue is that when i go into my network settings and turn on my wifi, it doesn't turn on and my settings is then put into error and force closed.
i was wondering if anyone else had similar issues with this. after hours of research i have come to the conclusion that it may be a hardware problem.
if anyone knows how to fix the wifi hardware on the mt4g please reply.

Hi,
is there a way to extract the htc Wifi Hot spot app from Evo4g shipped rom? the rom has been released today here http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
I'm not really into the rom modding, apk creation and app porting but if anyone more capable can look into it that'd be awesome
Thanks in advance, i'm really missing this feature from my old touch hd~
I have extracted, de-odexed and signed the apk. It installed successfully but i get FC if i launch the app. Unfortunately my skills end here, i dont even know how to get app crash logs and stuff, and chances are i wouldnt know what do to with them even if i had them .
It is also possible that the hotspot app is somehow bound to WCDMA protocols and ****..
I'm attaching the apk if someone more skilled than me is interested in taking a look
Nice that's something, atleast you try'd
Nice thread. Hope you can get some help from others.
On this occassion, have you tried perhaps the video app, it supports 720p.
One more thing, the EVO4 has a different kind of Snapdragon than Desire, this could be the cause of force close.
They're not that different, the Evo4G snapdragon is just a new revision with WCDMA support, probably there's more stuff to port, maybe some library in the rom.
We've to read the error log to figure that out

The EVO does not support WCDMA!
EVO supports CDMA (3G) and WiMAX (4G) - WCDMA is part of the GSM standard upon which HSDPA is implemented, and the EVO is most emphatically not a GSM phone.
Regards,
Dave
I can see how people would get confused though, what with the GSM Forum calling their 3G standard WCDMA - I appreciate that it's a description of how it works, but it was bound to create confusion regarding the existing (and totally unrelated) CDMA standards.
I've noticed that I'm only getting wireless location when I'm on EDGE, but when I'm on UTMS or HSDPA, I get no wireless location at all. It just says that my location "Is not available at this time."
I thought it might be a problem with the CM7 nightlies, so I formatted system via fastboot and reinstalled with no luck. I tried several other roms, including MIUI, the Thunderbolt rom, and Iced Glacier. I even used the stock 2.2.1 tmo rom that was posted here.
My wife has a stock mt4g, and on the rare occasions she lets me touch her phone, hers appears to be doing the same thing.
Has anybody experienced this before, and is it something that Tmo is doing?
Tried my old G1, and it does the same thing. Of course Tmo customer care had no clue what I was talking about.

Hey guys,
I was hoping I could tap your brains for some EVO knowledge. I've been rocking CM7 for awhile now and love it. The only "problem" seems to be how it handles the 4g connection. It seems like it will either use 4g OR 3g and if I turn on 4g but there is no coverage (or it drops out) it does not immediately default to 3g. I know on Sense roms that when 4g stopped, 3g kicked in. Has anybody else seen this?
I find 4G on CM7 more unstable than on sense when I use it. It's hard to keep a connection and seems to take longer to connect. One of the reasons I recently switched back to a sense rom.

I've actually experienced the opposite.
I could barely use 4G on any Sense ROM. It would spike my CPU at 100% (even after full wipes), it would disconnect and take forever to reconnect.
Since moving to CM7, 4G connections really quick and usually stays established with no problems.

i use cm7 and when i lose 4g my 3g automatically kicks in and my device uses that. i recommend updating to cm 7.0.3.1 they use the updated google 4g codes

Where are you reading that they updated 4G codes? Their changelog only says they changed a notifications bug and also a security hole.

They updated the code but I just realized it's only on the nightly. There is a problem with the nightly where mms wont download, so if mms is important, don't flash it yet

That's going to be in 7.1.
I've found WiMax on CM7 to be about the same as on Sense, which is to say it's flaky on both. I don't think it's really the phone or the ROM's fault. Sprint/Clear just hasn't built a strong enough 4G network to provide a good experience. Any time it constantly has to switch back and forth (which is going to be the case with the high frequencies they're running at and insufficient power or tower density to compensate), the experience won't be very satisfying.

I too am interested in this topic
I was using cm7 for a little bit...4g in chicago was slowwww to connect if it did at all...i just switched to virus's gingersense b3 and it is awesome...waiting on his kingdome port with sense 3.0 sometime tonight
i think it's pretty expected that two unpaid coders won't make as good of a code than a multi-billion/million/lotta$$$ corp can. amazing work either way though. that said, try one of the cm7.1 nightlys (any #60+ nightly, not counting stable 7.0.3, that's still 2.3.3) as the new android 2.3.4 has google's own 4g wimax coding in it.
Waiting to download the Kingdom ROM from XxXViRuSXxX. Apparently 4g works great and it has the new Sense 3.0, which is beautiful! It won't be bug free but I plan on jumping in and helping out and soon it will be a daily driver
What is cm7?
I've been scouring shopping sites and odd forums, and for the life of me it's proving difficult to find a newer-ish (relatively inexpensive) tablet that has 5Ghz support.
So far, the only tablet I've actually come up with is this one (GT-P3113), but I've been unable to find if anyone can confirm the 5Ghz radio working. I saw one forum thread that mentioned issues with higher 5Ghz channels, and it's got me worried. Has anyone had any experience on this? Stock ROM? CM?
Thanks in advance.
B G N only no 5ghz
Are you certain? Quite a few places (and forums) suggest that model has a 5Ghz radio
To list a couple..

I will say this; I have that tab P3113 and a 5ghz network. My tablet does not see the 5ghz ap, just the 2.4ghz one.

Are you running stock ROM?? From what I've read the 5ghz radio can be enabled with root, but I'm curious to see if it works in CM or not.

From what I've read 5Ghz wasn't enabled from ICS on. Something to do with the availability of 5Ghz in Europe. I've seen several guides on how to enable it on ICS at least, but I can't test it since I don't have a 5Ghz router. Here are the two guides I've seen on it. I'm almost sure you'd have to be rooted to do either.

I'd probably go for CM10(.1) straight away, which is why I wondered on if it's enabled in there. Luckily for me, CM is opensource so I can just go look and see if it's enabled in those files lol.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated.
I have the p3113 as u can tell. Rooted also and my 5ghz is working fine

awesome! Did you have to do anything post-root to get it working? IE did you switch from stock rom, or did you need to modify any wifi-config files?
I thought I read the kindle foire hd supports 5 ghz but only when 2.4 was not present is it possible t huh is is the same issue?

Yes ,lucky its open source except for the proprietary bits that you need from hardware vendors like the wifi and GPU drivers and several others , just like the open source Samsung stock ROMs.

Neither of these work to enable 5 GHz on my GT-P5113.
unrevoked, If you have it working on your 3113, what did you have to change to enable 5 GHz?

I believe you are right in that the Kindle Fire HD has a 5GHz radio, but I'm looking for a more pure Android experience, google play and what not. I know there are methods to getting Play Store on the Fire HD, but more specifically I'm looking to go CM with the tablet, and I'd rather run the Samsung for that if it has a working 5GHz radio.

Nevermind. My noobness is showing

hey guys,
i have been baffled by this too when my gt-p6800 upgraded to jb, it lost the capability to access my 5GHz-N wifi. i tried going back to ics and i had access back to the 5GHz wifi. however, ics have had its problems (wifi disconnects when the tab goes to sleep) and eventually i went back to the jb: no 5GHz wifi but wifi is stable and doesn't disconnect.
earlier today, a friend of mine with p3100 on jb visited me at home. his tablet wasn't able to detect my 5GHz wifi too.
interestingly, my very old p1000 on gb can still access the 5GHz wifi.
is it now safe to say that tablets with jb have problems detecting and accessing the 5GHz network?
regards to all!
Nexus 10 here. Just installed latest carbon ROM to test vs PA- couldn't see my 5 GHz network. Anyone else? Back to PA for now.

Not allowed, new member.
Liquid rom as well
No 5 GHz support on any of these ROMs... Am I missing something? Stock and paranoid are the only ones that see my 160+ channel.
Crazy question:
Do you check tick at wi-fi setting Frequency band on Auto or only 5Ghz?
Do some research on the channels there is a glitch with certain channels not working on 5ghz

Your right. It was set to Europe. Had to change to USA and reboot in order to see my 5 GHz. I'm a dummy.:silly:
Could only connect at 130Mbit on 5 GHz no matter my settings. Guess I'll stick to Paranoid until those issues are settled (300Mbit steady).
