WiFi problem - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm sure I can't be the only one with this problem, but I haven't saw any posts about it. I play Texas Holden a lot on my phone, and I have had a problem with some Roms, turning off WiFi automatically. I've assumed its a power saving issue. However I have disabled the setting to never touch my data connection when the screen sleeps. I would tell you which Rom, but its not just 1 of them, I've had it happen on a few of them. If you are a dev, or experienced user,you probably know what I'm talking about. In other words, if you don't use your WiFi for a minute or so, it times out, which is a problem with some games because the app doesn't always send or recieve data and if its more tha a minute or so it causes me to get booted off the game server. Is there a way to keep WiFi from timing out? Ever?

Never had that problem. Usually setting the wifi sleep policy to "never" fixes it. If its not then...?
I hate to ask but I have to, do you format /system between flashes, and has this been on multiple kernels?

No I don't, should I? I have never formatted my system.

And its mostly been on sense 3.5 Roms

Always, always, always format system when flashing a ROM.
It will save you countless headaches.

Downloading from market, still having problems here!

this doesnt work for me anymore. i cleared cache, restarted, mount and unmounded
but nothing works anymore

and what do you mean: check the folders?
The same problem with Samsung Galaxy S. Sometimes works, sometimes does not. Sometimes clearing cash helps, sometimes not. Sometimes restart of the phone helps, sometimes not.
I think this is the general problem of Android 2.2 devices.
For me, it has actually turned data off. I have had to go to settings and turn it back on.
Today, I had to set WCDMA only for it to work. On GSM or WCDMA it showed a 3G connection, but no data would actually pass... how can that be?
I read other devices and ROM's are facing similar issues currently so I really think the Market is just unstable right now
I have try everything as well and no luck at all? It is the system problem or the market is down??
I've tried all that and still can't download. Was working fine earlier this morning, and yesterday
One app got installed a few hours back. However, just tried another app which does not get installed.
Glad to hear more people have market issues, that makes a general market problem more likely...

Same here to market issues
I've tried WiFi on and WiFi off some days and I really can't see any difference. With my hero I could see a definite difference.
As far as GPS goes, i thought it was only used when called upon by certain programs?

My evo was rebooting by itself!!

Hello, yestarday at night my evo was rebooting. I remove the battery and i have the same result, the solution was to enter in recovery do the factory reset, clear cache,. En apply the same that I was using myns, any ideas why this happens, also in been following the guide on how to double my battery, with no results. After I unplug the phone it drops from 100% to 92%. Need some advice on that to. Thanks

factory reset will clear caches anyway so that was redundant. u will want a trickle charging (SBC) kernel to avoid the 10% drop
let the flaming begin (SBC)
a battery pull and reboot might help
Thanks you for the fast reply, I'm using netarchy kernel 4.3.1. No sbc. Stable mod. And also I'm using setcpu, i don't know if that interfiere with the kernel that I'm using.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
uninstall setcpu... see what happens.
i know when i put the setcpu to high.. it will reboot itself....
also try a different kernel... start with a stock kernel.. or more standard.
I had the reboot issue a while back. My solution was to not leave Wi-Fi on if I wasn't using it. My phone would reboot if I left Wi-Fi on and it was idle.
I had to replace my evo three times for the same reason, I tried everiting, roms, batteries, etc.... but the true, is a problem with the evos. so nothing to do, if get to bad, it will, take it to sprint a replace it. Good luck.
Thanks you, all. This is the first time that happens to me. So let see if does it again.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
if its randomly rebooting try reformatting your sdcard.
or maybe try setting the wifi sleep policy to never. I suggest this because I also had the same problem and I had forgotten that certain kernels will cause random reboots if wifi the wifi policy is set on default.
Thank you, all for you help. So far my phone is acting normal...

Phone will not sleep

Ok I just got the phone 2 days ago and before I rooted I had this issue were when ever I pressed the power button to put my phone to sleep it would turn in right way but after rooting and flashing royalginger the problem went away so I thought I was in the clear so I wonted to go back cuz I missed sense so I flashed royalglacier and the problem came back so now I'm back on royalginger aand was wondering if there is a fix for this or something

Perhaps readability of your question would improve if you used punctuation. I'm guessing you want the "instant on" capabilities of the stock ROM?
There is a setting on the stock ROM (or those based on it) called "fastboot" that you can enable. When enabled, the phone does not power off when the user selects power off. It just shuts off the display and radios. This is a poor choice of names for the function, as the phone doesn't boot at "power on", it's merely turning on the display and radios.
This "fastboot" should not be confused with the SDK's fastboot tool used with the bootloader. Really bad name they chose.
I had a similar problem with my macbook once. You'd put it to sleep, and it'll wake right up. Had to exchange it. But I digress. Anyways, its probably something to do with how your phone's hardware functions, or in this case, "malfunctions" with the sense framework. Since you got it just 2 days ago, why not just go ahead and exchange it?

I don't think he was talking about fastboot. I think he meant that whenever he's on sense and he turns off the screen, the screen will turn back on immediately.
If you've only had it for a couple of days just ho exchange it

Perhaps not. But a poor question begets a poor answer.
Yeah I just wanted to see if there was something I could do before I exchanged it lol but thanks guys

Ok you probably solved your issue by now, but I found a solution and probably someone will read this looking for the answer so I have a possibility for you.
The only patch I have found for this was made by chrisch1974 one of the developers of the virtuous rom and was made for the virtuous unity 2.39 so it surely works for that rom, he also told me that it may or may not work on other roms with the same libui file as the virtuous unity rom, so you should try it, so here is a link for the rom:
http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/unity_23.html
and here is the link to the patch:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28766802/Virtuous/trackpad_disabled.zip
so go on and enjoy sense 3 without the phone waking up all the time and being annoying xD good luck!!
I don't know if this is related, but I had linkedin app installed for half a day and the screen wouldn't stop turning itself back on time after time.. As soon as I removed the app, it was fine again.

Wifi refuses to turn on...

I've been running cm since back in the g1 days, a few months back my wifi broke and I figured it was something that needed to be worked out so I didn't think anything of it. Well it still won't turn on, I'll try and turn it on but about 20 seconds later it turns itself off. Whenever it first started acting up my phone would just bootloop forever. I've tried everything I can think of with nothing working. Can someone please help?!

Did the WiFi seem to break when you flashed a new ROM, or did it seemingly break out of nowhere?
Honestly sounds like a hardware issue if its existing on different ROMs, kernels, radios, etc...
Seemed to break when I installed a new rom, not for sure though. I've tried different roms, kernels, radio's, superwipe...

I noticed on my phone this week. The phone would "see" the available networks but say that they were not in range and never connect. I am on CM7 and have never had an issue like this before. I just flashed the latest nightly and everything is back to normal. If you have flashed several ROM's and radio's I am also inclined to believe that it is perhaps a hardware issue.
hi.
i have the same problem.
used cm7.1
wifi worked about a day.
then it didn't start.
when i start wifi it gives an error.
and come a window with force close and wait for response.
tried several roms. used superwipe2 and superwipe2+
but nothing.
its not starting. sometimes it starts but not scanning anything.
then gives the same error.
help pls.

Weird wifi behavior

Hello everybody since a few weeks I've been having a weird wifi problem. Sometimes, at random times the wifi disconnects from the network it has been connected on for a while and if I go into wifi settings I see that there are no wifi networks available at all. The only way to fix it is to turn it off and on again. This is really annoying expecially for missed emails and notifications. I really don't understand what the problem is. I've tried 2 different roms, pac before and slimakat now, always doing clean installs. I've also tried different kernels and I'm now on hellscore. I also tried different radios including hybrids (I use one now for lte). Nothing seems to make a difference... Could it be some kernel undervolting setting? I also have suspended back off wakelock, but I guess that's another issue. Also I tried wifi optimization on and off... Any help is appreciated. Thanks

If flash the factory image and see if the problem still persists. If it does you probably have a hardware problem
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Ok thank you. Could undervolting be influencing it? It mostly happens when the phone is in deep sleep or when I get outside a building and I'm connected with wifi and then I got out for a few minutes and back in again...
