Hi there,
after being on MokeeOS Crazy Speed (Android 2.3.6) for quite some time I decided to upgrade my Defy (MB525) to the newer MokeeOS 4.2.2 RC4. The update went without any problems any I quite like the Rom, but there is a huge issue with the Wifi-Connection.
I see my Home-Network and can connect to it without any problems and I also stay connected to it, as far as I can tell, but there is "almost" no data coming through. When I say "almost" I mean, that for the first 3 seconds (maximum) after I turned the Wifi off and on again and the device connects itself to it, I get data and can visit e.g. Websites or even the Playstore, if lucky.
I had this particular Issue with the latest stable and nightly version of the Rom.
Maybe I just need to change some settings on my phone or my router to get it to work, but I couldn't find anything on this or other forums. I hope that somebody knows this problem and may know a solution to fix it.

hello there,
this phone is just released in my country. i would like to buy it but i found this video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptg6cLdA9OU
is this problem common? is there any software to fix?
this video is too old (the rom is B133), i used both B135 and B136 now, with no Wifi probs at all
that's great. thank you.
I agree. I am also on B136 and no issues at all with wi-fi. Good Luck. I think it is a great phone especially for the price.
B136 is the pre installed ROM?
Or in other words: people that buy the Ideos X5 today will not have any wifi connection problems?
Obviously I can only speak from my experience with my own phone, but it came (3 months ago) preinstalled with B133 and did an update over wifi in the phone's update options and had no problems before or after the update. The update was about 3 weeks ago for me and I have been using the wifi almost every night since I go the phone. I am very happy with it
Can warmly recommend this phone, its great !
The price is nice, the quality is fine and the phone is getting a larger community !
If you find trouble with old firmware always update to the newer ones !
Grab them at Huawei and upgrade your firmware, they have a guide included on each firmware download pack you download.
Agree without doubt. I never experienced wifi connection problem. But only some education institute use PEAP encryption may post a problem with most Android, though not the phone itself .

unfortunately its the phone thats causing wifi dropouts in my case..
i can connect to my wifi router with my iPhone 3GS, my notebook, my netbook, my NDS, etc.. in fact X5 is the first and only device that has connection problem with my wifi router..
though i like this phone very much, i can honestly say that wifi problem does exist, at least in certain instances including mine..
So it has been established that this phone sometimes has wifi issues. The question is; can they be solved? and how? anyone got any experience in that area?
I'm on B136 and WiFi is still broken. B136 seems to have made Wifi connections a little bit more reliable, but it still drops out pretty regularly, usually when I try to update more than one app at a time from the Market. In the middle of the downloads it stops because the WiFi has become disabled and has to be restarted again.
It's less of a problem when there's only one update to download, but if there's two or more it happens quite frequently. It also still sometimes happens (though perhaps less frequently than before B136 was released) while it's not downloading anything, just sleeping (I have it set to not disconnect when asleep) or awake and connected to my WiFi network.
The unreliable WiFi connections are one of the two worst problems with this phone (the other one is the wildly variable battery life).
Nobody has a definate solution to this problem?
Is it part of your insurance btw? it is clearly malfunctioning and perhaps should be fixed by the company you bought it from...
i am using genokolar's b137 and wifi is fine ( i had problems before with stock 135).

also use the google apps (GMS) from here:
http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-2875088-1-1.html
be sure to have this installed before doing anything:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130524
if you find it hard to download them from there i have uploaded them here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IMZBGHIA (use the gapps that are inside this rar)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3DOP0APD (use this rom)
i have removed some apps he put in there (like nofrills[something like set cpu], a chinese market etc) to make it a total stock rom. just be sure the 1st app you install is Superuser.
I did some tuning to my wifi configuration file and that's all I did to solve connection problems. Just take a look through my thread in the general section with subject title "Wifi Client Tuning ... Solve Connection Problem "

A few days back I flashed CM7.1 stable from the cyanogenmod website. I am having some weird issues with the wifi. The internet suddenly stops working even though I am connected to the internet and I can use the internet on my laptop. When I switch Wifi off and back on again the internet starts working again. Is this a bug in CM7? BTW, I am running the Froyo kernel on this device and this is a T-Mobile UK device.
I was having wifi problems on CM7 until about a week ago.
I then started from scratch and flashed nordic sbf then the latest maniac CM7.2.RC1
Switched baseband to my region (UK) and it's been rock solid ever since, not dropped a single connection.

Hello,
I've been using tytung rom with Android 2.3.7 for quite a while and I recently decided to upgrade to the new 4.1.2 rom (NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.3a). The rom is great and everything seems to work fine except the wifi. For some reason, the AP is almost always out of range, unless I'm really close to it. A quick search on google shows that apparently a lot of users seem to have problems with wifi signal and Jelly Bean (regardless of their hardware, with other samsung, htc, etc devices). Do you also experience these wifi issues with newer roms on HD2 ? Is there something I could do to improve that ?
Kind regards,
Sébastien.
same here ...
I am having the same problem, I also had it with the ICS versions
I tried many solutions nothing worked, after connecting to wifi, I get no internet conncetion, but if I did, it's very poor at speed no matter how close was it ... hope someone can help us with this soon
After some more testing, it turns out that my problem could be hardware related.
I'm now experiencing the same issue with gingerbread roms.
My i9505 has been misbehaving when trying to connect to 5GHz wifi since the 12th of October, when I flashed the then-newest official Cyanogenmod 10.2 nightly; before that it had been working with any problem on those same nightlies. Something must have been introduced between then and the 2nd of October; I didn't do any flashing during that time as I was abroad on business, so I'm not sure exactly when the change might have been introduced. Since that time I've moved to a 4.4 ROM but the problem persists.
It seems that I'm not the only one having problems with 5GHz wifi on AOSP ROMs - Google turns up various problems on different ROMs and devices. There are even suggested solutions such as editing text files in /system/etc/wifi or changing one's router's channel. None of these work for me.
The symptoms vary. Some of the time the device will simply refuse to connect to 5GHz networks. Other times it will connect and work normally for a time, anything from approx. 1 minute to 30 minutes or more (the latter making me think for a while that the problem is fixed). But, eventually, apps will stop getting a network connection and I'll be unable to ping anything. Despite this total lack of connectivity the wifi indicator will show that the device is still connected to Google's servers. Turning wifi off and on will start the cycle again, until I give up and switch back to 2.4 GHz.
This is rather frustrating and I wonder if anyone has any clue what it might be, or how it might be investigated further.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Yes, i have similar problem. i changed few custom roms, and nothing helps. First, it works normal, for few minutes, then wi fi go automaticly off, and then i cannot connect to wi fi network
I noticed this on 4.3 all versions, but since I updated to 4.4 official on my i9505G, the problem went away. I think it may be s bug in the NON-HLOS in the 4.3 roms .. official or otherwise.

I think it came in on 4.3, and I wonder why it is still affecting me on 4.4 as some people are reporting that has been fixed.
When official jfltexx CM11 nightlies come out I'll try a clean flash to see if there's any change.
I decided to try something similar - I updated to the latest UK firmware and then did a clean flash of an unofficial CM11 4.4.1. 5GHz Wi-Fi still doesn't work properly, as above.
I can get better results within a couple of metres of the AP.
Hi guys,
So I finally upgraded from the manufacture rom to the kit-kat nightly rom a couple of days ago and it's fantastic. The phone is so much faster and it's quite pleasing overall.
I do have this one weird problem. It's not able to locate me thru the wireless networks (and it used to be able to do it perfectly in the original rom). It IS able to locate me using the GPS, but not even remotely over wireless.
Anyone else had this problem / any idea how to solve it?
Thanks
