I am having some major issues with the wifi on my slide. When I have the rooted software installed. I have tried both the stock cynogen 6.0.0 rom and the teamfenix version but still cannot get the wifi to work on my home network. I haven't found any other roms to try though.
fyi:
Works fine on stock rom
home network is open with no mac filtering or anything like that.
I also have heard that flashing the radio might help but I thought that was separate from the wifi and the antenna works fine. I also have no issues with a data connection through the network.
Also if someone could recommend a way of transferring the phone program from the sense rom to the root rom that would be great. (I like the way it gives you the number it thinks you are about to dial, makes calls more fluid actions)
So... ideas?

A few: The latest known radio for the slide is 7.09.35.10. If you have that you don't need to reflash it. CM 6.0 has a known issue with the wifi that you can fix by turning on bluetooth. You don't have to have bluetooth connect to anything, just have it on. I don't know why that works but it does. Or you can flash the latest nightly for the slide. You can find it through ROM Manager, but you'll need the paid version to do that, which is totally worth it, or find it in the cyanogenmod forum. However, if you go ahead and flash the nightly, beware that things may or may not work (although the last several I've run have been damn stable) and DO NOT POST BUGS IN THE BUG TRACKER!
Also, on a side note, bluetooth in call audio does not work. Meaning you can not talk on the phone through bluetooth. Stereo bluetooth works great though, so you can listen to music no problem.

Thanks for the heads-up on that, I just thought my bluetooth was being retarded.

If on CM6: Menu>settings>about phone then look at the baseband version. It's the last set of numbers. If on stock ROM it's the same sequence except after you go into "about phone" you need to go into "software information".

Where can I find the radio update? Can't find it on the HTC website or on here.
edit: actually - it seems to be working fine now for some screwed up reason. My roms seem to do that... if my phone is in a good mood when I do my nandroid restore, then it works even better than before (hey look that rymes). If not, then it says "F*** off and die, I'm not giving you internet you fascist SoB.". As you may understand my phone has major mood swings... I think it gets PMS.
The CM6 thread has a link to the latest radio I believe. Also, something that worked for me is under the WiFi Settings menu, press Menu > Advanced, and change Regulatory Channels to 14. I saw that posted in one of the CM65 threads and it worked for me.
I found something interesting out about my phone. Apparently those moods I talked about are just the wipe not working properly. If I wipe it 3-5 time beforehand everything seems to work better.
I can even get golden sun working on the gameboid which I had thought was too unstable to work (just that one game though not the whole program).

I know there are some apps listed in market that allow live streaming but non of them seem to work. For example Fox News has an app for live radio, it installs OK but when running it it just sits there and I never get any sound.
Also trying some radio stations websites I never get the live streaming to work, even trying multiple browsers (Opera, Dolphin, SkyFire and built in one).
Anyone have any luck trying the above?
Thanks
I'm using TuneIn Radio app. Has all my local stations in CD quality and works well. Although it does take a while for the streams to load.
Also since I flashed JK1 firmware, I can now go on to all my favourite sites and use the built-in flash players. Maybe it's something to do with the firmware?
You beat me to it I just installed Tunein..and yes it works great! A little issue on the buffering (and I'm in a great reception area too) but other than that its a great app!
I have the JK5 flashed to my tab at the moment (ATT Tab with working phone in US) so that may be part of the reason.
Thanks
yes I don't know why it takes so long to buffer but once it kicks in, mine plays without any issues.
Also just noticed it has alarm wakeup function in the menu, so you can specify a time and it will start playing your favourite station to wake you up

While streaming this will this eat into my Sprint 2gb plan ?
Thanks...
Is there a service that can cache music to my SD card while I'm on wifi instead of eating up my 3G plan?
I know Slacker can do this, but they charge for that feature (I think).
This is a brand new unrooted Mytouch 4G, so I suppose I haven't done anything wrong yet. =P
I tried the wifi connection on this phone, and it usually works great. But I later found out the it's not very stable. I carry this phone with me and walk around the campus, it doesn't always receive wifi signal like my iPad would always do. Also, sometimes even when it shows that I am connected, the internet based software such as skype will not work (making phone call without hearing any voice).
Is there a software/app that can help? Or maybe I should root my phone for a better version of operating system?
On the stock ROM and all Sense ROMs, there is an option under WiFi Settings -> Advanced -> Best WiFi Performance. Try selecting that and see if it makes a difference.

WOO! lol i found someone in the same boat as me...I go college as well and my ipad connects fine, but my laptop and phone (for some weird reason do not). Ive tried a whole variety of differernt rom and kernel combinations including stock, but nothing would work. I really really really wanted to stay stock on my phone because I like it so much, but it just wouldnt work. Then I tried the evil 4g HD rom with fauxs sense smartass kernel and suddenly wifi was working amazing! It connected as soon as I clicked turn on wifi and stayed connected throughout the day even though I was walking around campus. Plus the rom has sense so its not straying too far from stock! I dont know what the reason is, but you should give it a go and see if it works for you!
I finally determine to try your method. I can't find evil 4G HD rom. Did you mean Evo?

I tried to use my Sling player app at work today and it was a no go. I thought since I had not used it in a while maybe something was unplugged at my house. When I got home I checked and every thing was good. So I connected my phone to my home wifi and the app works like a champ so I know my setup it good. But if I try on 3 or 4G the apps says locating... connecting... but than I get connection failed??
I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue or is maybe Sprint blocking my connection like the issue with the Sirius XM app. I've uninstalled the app rebooted my phone cleared the data from the app pretty much tried anything I can think of.
Can some one check and see if your app is working on 3G or 4G and post back. Thanks.
my sling box is working on 3g... App version 1.0
I'm on the new version 1.2 I checked to see if I had a TI backup of 1.0 but it does not look like I do.
It seems 1.0 works and 1.2 broke something. Any one else?
My slingbox app (1.2) works fine on any network, 3g/4g/wifi.
I'm on 1.2 and it works on 3G but it lags and it sucks. It does now, anyway.....it was fine before the network got overloaded. 4G or WiFi is the only way to go for me.
Did you have a good 4G signal when you tried it? I've noticed that with poor or slow connections, it will time out when connecting and give you an error. I think it's a network issue and not the app.
It works for me. Usually when it doesn't its a problem on the slingbox end and I need to call someone who is at home to reset it. This actually happens pretty often.

I unplugged everything and put it back together and it is now working. Thanks to the community for the help and input.
I got my Nexus 4 today, and I've been pretty excited since.. So far, it's worked flawlessly everywhere except for when I need to download something from the play store.
Almost every download results in "Package File is Invalid"
I googled for hours, literally. I wiped data/cache of Google Play Store, Services Framework, wiped Cache from the stock recovery, and even factory resetted the phone to no avail.
I'm guessing it's a problem with my home's router setting. Everything works fine on my nexus except for the play store. Haven't gotten a chance to mess with other wifis yet, but can anyone tell me a way of fixing it?
If it doesn't work by tomorrow, I might run a custom ROM and try, though I really wanna stick with stock till 4.3/5.0 comes out :\
Any help?
Login to the Playstore from a PC and make sure your N4 is listed on your account. Also, try and install an app on your phone from there.
What happens if you try to install an app with Wi-Fi off (Mobile Data)? This could rule out an issue with your router or ISP.

It works fine on 3G for me. It's not a ROM issue since I tried it on stock, PA, and now CM10.1.
However, very small apps download without issues. I think the cap is around 5 mb above which the error shows up.
I'm 100% sure it's my router's settings that seem to be working against the nexus. Any idea what I could do?
I absolutely LOVE the fluidity of this phone (coming from a single core phone running a buggy JB rom) but this is killing me!!
The worst thing is, all the workarounds that I've read about since yesterday work for few, but not all people. And there are lots of workarounds. I've tried all that I've read but nothing's working :\

What router (Make / Model) is it?
Check for a router firmware update. If there are no updates or support, check if it is supported by DD-WRT.
Try doing a factory reset on the router, then set the security settings to (WPA2 only / AES only) and use the Android app WiFi Analyzer to find the best channel.

It's a DLink router.. No updates available
I reset it yesterday and put WPA2 but it hasn't solved the problem still :\
Wifi analyzer told me channel 6 onwards were good, so I tried 6 and 7 but didn't help either
I've had to download apk's for all the free apps to make it work as of now
I'll check with my mom and dad's phone to see if this problem exists for them too, but they're running gingerbread so idk if it'll mean much even if it works

First I would return to stock ROM. A custom ROM could have it's own WiFi issues.
As for the router, the only other suggestions I can make are;
test it in unsecured mode (open Wi-Fi access)
force 802.11G (disable B and N access)
lower the MTU from 1500 to 1480
disable uPnP
disable (or enable) WMM support.
disable any content filtering (like blocking java, proxies, etc).
Changing these options one at a time and see if any one fixes your issue.
Use VPN
Has been occurring a lot lately. Well, not a fancy fix but a simple one ..... use hotspot shield to connect and then all files install normally over wifi. Don't know why it does, but it works!
I have had "package file is invalid" issues with my Nexus 4 and my home WiFi connection from day 1 of owning a Nexus 4. I have tested it on 4 different WiFi Routers with different firmwares including stock and DD-WRT.
- Linksys WRT320N Dual Band (With Stock and DD-WRT Firmware).
- Linksys WRT160N V3. (Stock and DD-WRT)
- Tenda N60. (Stock "2012-12-12 V1.0.0.16_EN" and newer variants).
- ASUS RT-N66U "Dark Knight".
Tested 2.4ghz and 5ghz, varrious combinations of WEP,WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA2-AES. It makes no difference the ONLY router from the above 4 that works correctly when downloading over WiFi from the Play Store is the Tenda N60 using the early release stock firmware "2012-12-12 V1.0.0.16_EN" that the router is shipped with. Even with the Tenda N60 if yuo upgrade the firmware to newer releases of stock firmware it will cause the issue to return.
Now this is an issue specific to the Nexus 4, I also have a Nexus 7, Samsung Galaxy S3, HTC Desire, Huawei Ascend G300. None of these devices have this issue using any of the router or firmware revisions. i.e: I can download from Google Play over the same WiFi connection with no problems.
I have had my Nexus 4 swapped for a replacment and the issue remains. So I've come to the conclusion that it's defintiely device specific the Nexus 4 has something inherently wrong with it..whether it's WiFi Drivers, Android Kernel, WiFi Chipset I dont know.
It doesnt affect all WiFi conenctions I can use my WiFi connectiona t work and the issue doesnt occur. It's strange that the cheapest router of the 4 I ahve tested i.e: The Tenda N60 is the only one that works consitently, I have never seen the "package file is invalid" issue using this router and Tenda firmware "2012-12-12 V1.0.0.16_EN".
This basically rules out any ISP, or WiFi security settingas as I used the same SSID, Security types and Network Key on the Tenda as the other 3 routers..
Poor show by Google, they obviously dont care about fixing this issue.
So your router having an issue is a Google problem? Well done coming to that conclusion...
For what it's worth, I have no such issues with my home router (Thomson) or my work WiFi network (no idea what router we have here but it's probably a Linksys/Cisco jobby)

Ermm...you might want to read that last post again, 4 different routers from different manufactuirers with different WiFi Chipsets (Linksys x 2, Tenda, ASUS) tested with stock and 3rd party firmwares all exhibit the same issue with the Nexus 4. Where as NO other android device or any other WiFi device on my network including a Nexus 7 with the same version android version as my Nexus 4 (4.2.2 ), connected via the same routers have any issues, even side by side downloading the same app from the Play store at the same time the others will suceed the Nexus 4 will fail the download "package file is invlalid" which sounds like a data corrption issue.
Co-incdecne thats it's only the Nexus 4 that has these issues ? I highly doubt 4 different routers are all faulty...especially since it's only the Nexus 4 that has this issue.
If you check the google code pages you'll find several other people complaining of the same issue.

All I'm saying is the 2 routers I use most have no issues and neither does the one my parents, my local pub or any of my friends. Might be a UK thing, I don't know, but I've never had a problem on WiFi at all...

I agree with that, maybe it's even a particular hardware batch of N4's, not sure. I can use my N4 fine on my work WiFi and other locations. Like I said it does work on my home WiFi if I use The Tenda N60 router with it's early release stock firmware, any firmware upgrades cause the problem to return though. But it cant be right that you should have to use a specific router and specific firmware which you cant upgrade without breaking the N4.
I've got another support case open with Google Play which they've apparently passed to their techs, lets see what they come back with... I have heard of someone with this issue using a custom ROM with a different Kernel to the Google stock build which includes newer Qualcomm Prima WiFi drivers (Paranoid Android) , they claim this fixes the issue for them.
Im relectant to flash a custom ROM and void warranty though for a basic feature that should work out of the box though.
I tried a lot of different things but nothing seems to have worked sadly.. I'm gonna update my ROM tomorrow to CM10RC4 and see if that helps, though I doubt it's the ROM's fault. Btw, I had the same issue with the stock ROM too
I've been having this problem whenever my portable wifi device connects to a slow mobile network. All my friends connect to my hotspot, but only my Nexus 4 gets the "Package file is invalid." error. For months, I've had to contend with switching to mobile data just to finish my downloads.
My only conclusion is that the Nexus 4 has a problem with slow connections over wifi by corrupting the data transmitted. It's fine when using mobile data.

It requires the phone to be rooted. I'm already testing it out now.
I cant verify 100% yet but my Nexus 4 took the Android 4.3 OTA update yesterday. I have since tried several WiFi downloads over WiFI from the Google Play store and not a single one has failed !
So my intitial thoughts are that the Android 4.3 update has recolved this issue..and it was indeed a bug/fault in the previous versions maybe it's the new kernel, Qualcomm Prima WiFi drivers, New Google Play app... But whatever it is. It seems to have fixed the issue. Well done Google about time too !
The only down point is the denial of any issue their end from Google Play staff and blatant lies they tell customers about not knowing about such bugs.

Ironically, the 4.3 update on my Nexus 4 yesterday actually seemed to trigger the Package File is Invalid error, as it wasn't a problem before. MX Player and Jetpack Joyride are triggering this for me atm. Anyone else still have this on Android 4.3?

Having the same issues on all of my devices, but only while trying to download on my home wi-fi. Like the OP said, anything over 5mb won't download. Droid Razr M, Droid Razr HD, Note 10.1, Tab 2 10.1, and Nexus 7 (running 4.3), I cannot figure out what changed on my Belkin router (AC900) to cause this to happen suddenly. It was just noticed last night, and I have spent hours today trying to find a fix, and creating more problems to fix. If anyone has any step by step instructions of how to fix this, please explain to me like you would a 6 year old. BTW, rooting is not an option of all of these devices, so please make it a root free option. And I have cleared all caches/datas and done all the force stops recommended, as well as removed the google accounts and readded them.
