[Q] Best kernel for possible WiFi issue? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all. I am currently staying at a condo in Maui for vacation and attempting to use the condo WiFi. We are one of the further condos so signal isn't 100% but well within working range.
My Nexus 7 works fine as well as my wife's S3 on WiFi but my nexus 4 is just awfully slow and can barely maintain a connection. I am not sure if this is a known issue with the 4's but I have not come across it yet.
I am on Xylon and the latest Franco kernel. Does anyone have some recommendations?

[Q] wifi signal not strong cm7

anyone having issues with their wifi signal not being strong even if you are close to router?
not that big of an issue but it would be great to get it running up to par since i had better signals running the stock froyo.
might be that your internal wifi card got messed up happened to me on the iphone 3gs.
Works awesome for me.

I noticed it too, its one of the reasons I don't use cm7. I have to use wifi calling in my room and the signals sketchy.. its good enough to pick up on sense roms but the signal was rarely strong enough to connect on cm7. Maybe try a different kernel? MiUI is cm7 based and I always got good wifi with tdj's kernel, so maybe you wanna give it a shot.

[Q] Roms NOT affected by 4.2.* issues

Hi,
I got a Nexus 10 device and get random reboots, bluetooth- and Wifi-problems and wonder if those problems are solved in other ROMs.
I've looked at ParanoidAndroid, CM10.1, AOKP and so on and they seem(?) premature for now? They all seem lovely though and after some time when they had the chance to mature I'll test all of them anyway
Is Nexus 10 a too new device so no one had the time to release a stable(Released as Stable by group) version of any Original Rom Dev?

Anyone...?

I'm running CleanROM 2.0 and no reboot issues. I strongly believe that Chrome Browser is a major culprit with the reboot issue. CR does not contain Chrome, uses AOSP browser by default.

How about the bluetooth and wifi issues?
Depends what you mean. Some people have problems connecting to some hardware, others dont. It is somewhat of a 4.2 issue, but it also has to do with hardware compatibility and what version of hardware you have for your bluetooth. You might just be SOL.
random reboots seem to happen a little bit from 4.2 issues but also from software compatibility issues from things that dont work well with the new system. So it will just take time there as well.
Thank you very much!

I don't have any WiFi issues. Don't use Bluetooth
I had some major issues with 4.2 on my nexus 7, which I was able to solve by flashing cm10.1 - this is 2 months ago. When I got the nexus 10 a month ago, I kinda immediately flashed cm10.1 and have not had 1 issue with it so far.... just my 2c
I've had reboot problems with the stock ROM and the Official AOKP ROM with the kernel it comes with. I've never had issues with bluetooth and my only problem with wifi is that it is not nearly as strong as my Galaxy S2's wifi. I've had no problems with Paranoid or CM, but I used ktoonsez's kernel with those. Right now, I am using Task650's AOKP with ktoonsez's kernel and it's running flawless. I have a lot of love for them as I use their stuff on my phone too. As far as I can tell, the problems are in the kernel.
CM10.1, and Franco kernal here with absolutely no problems...
I'm stock rooted build JOD40F without freezes .

Slow wifi speeds after a while

Though i'd make a thread with the problem slow wifi speed after a while. I'm on the DMC3 fw.
If there is a thread (i've searched...) you can delete this.
So what can we do about this?
Well I don't usually report problems but I guess I'm facing this one! Downloading stuffs from Play Store, starts at full speed, within 5 seconds speed cuts by 1/4th. Is this a problem with custom ROMs? I don't remember having this problem on Stock ROM, however I can't be sure as my ISP is having a long run problem atm!
PS: Confirming that it is my ISP. WiFi speeds are same both on custom ROM/kernels, and Stock ROM and kernel.

Are you using bluetooth when the wifi slowdowns occur?

Never had bluetooth on.

I have bluetooth, GPS and WIFI on, and still works flawlessly. Just defective units, perhaps? I'm using stock now.
I can't say I've ever experienced this either. Does it happen with all wifi access points?

WiFi usage

Hey there Xda people.
I dont know if this was already answered (i searched and found nothing). Why the WiFi signal is poor on EVERY custom rom?. I know that the developers makes its best with his custom roms and I love that, but why the WiFi is horrible in custom roms that in stock?
I've actually experienced significant better WiFi reception on CM10.1 than on Stock 4.1.2
EX. With CM, I'm able to receive a signal on my deck, with good speeds as well, while I simply cannot receive a signal on stock.
Does anyone else experience this?

One of the updates that Verizon made to Stock was increase the range of the Wifi. Maybe you didnt install that update while using stock.
The reason stock runs better... Well... Sometimes runs better... Is because the kernel is being developed by people with more inside access than any custom ROM dev could ever have (with the exception of that whole Oppo+CM thing...), and they're getting paid to work 8 hours a day to develop it well. Since the ROM devs don't have access to the inside kernel data, they basically have to make a graceful hack. Which sometimes doesn't work well. FWIW, I have perfectly fine WiFi access on custom ROMs, not enough of a difference to notice.

My WiFi has been better on 4.3 over stock. Gaming is a huge improvement over stock. I will never go back.

[Q] Wifi Link Speed stuck at 24mps

It doesn't matter which network I try, 2.4 or 5, how far I am from router, how strong the signal is. Link speed is permanently stuck at 24mbps. I have no idea if this problem started after flashing Lollipop (I'm on CM12 nightly) or not, but I tried going back to JB and still the same. Nexus 7 on Lollipop (CleanRom 5.0) gets much faster link speed from same location.
TIA/
Same here. Wifi is fubar under 5.0.x on my N10. It rocks like hell on my Oneplus One, but if 5.1 doesn't solve all that wifi issues I am outta here and get back to 4.4.4
Haven't found any solution for the wifi issues yet. Sometimes speed is okay, ten minutes later its a mess.... can't reproduce...
/edit: should say that neither CM nor stock lollipop solve the wifi issues for me. I'm sure this is a kernel issue. But as there are no kernels other than stock and cm I am out of alternatives.
I use my n10 to watch videos in bed so I had to go back to KK. Link speed shot right up to 80-100mbps. 1080p MKV streams buttery smooth with ES File Explorer+MXPlayer (or Plex) now.
My Wi-Fi speed is crap too, and lately the YouTube app gets out of sync where it freezes for a second and then when it continues the sound is ahead of the video. I'm on Lollipopalooza's Rom. I'm going to flash something else and see if it's affecting all 5.0 Roms.
