Wi-Fi Unreliable...

So, I've been noticing my phone has been going through a lot more battery recently and part of the reason I believe is due to my Wi-Fi disconnecting and not re-connecting at times. Even if I reenter the password it still won't connect at times. I am forced to turn the antenna completely OFF and then ON again to get it working at times.
I have installed Fresh 0.53 since rooting and haven't noticed any issues with it until recently. The only other thing I have done is tried out different Kernels from ffolkes. Right now I am running the undervolted version os his kernel. Could that have something to do with it or is it unrelated to the Wi-Fi?!
BTW, I have been running the latest versions of the radio and WiMax.

no troubles here when i run flipz or any other rom on wifi
im running baked snacks and get GREAT GREAT battery life

My WiFi is pretty unreliable as well. Im running stock OTA update that was supposed to turn on N. I still get terrible WiFi reception even when very close to router. I get a lot of hang-ups as well when browsing and usually have to refresh a website 5-6 times till it finally kicks in. Either I have a terrible router, or my EVO still has really bad WiFi.

Best way to reduce data connection drops?

Hello people,
I'm new to the hd2. I'm running chuckyrom lite with shubcraft 2.0 with hastarin's 8.2 kernel and I THINK my radio is 2.15.50.14... But I'm not sure. (how do I check?)
I lose my data connection every minute or so, pretty much crippling the usage of this device.
So far my searching has turned up methods that don't work (toggling airplane mode, etc)
Is there a more stable build I can be using? Or anyway I can reduce the connection drops?

I also have a similar problem. I have a completely stock WinMobile HD2 with the latest 2.15.50.14 also and I'm running DarkStone v3. This is my first Android ROM on the HD2. I've had it for about a week now.
I've ran my N1 for about a year now. I still have it and I'm just playing with the HD2 for now. I get the same drops as you where my service will just stop. A lot of the time my phone still show's full bars for reception. I think I'll set CM settings to give me a readout instead of the bars to see when I loose signal.
Very often when I do YouTube, or enter the Market, or the browser it will lag and get no connection for 30 seconds or more sometimes. Then start working, and occasionally I have to toggle Airplane Mode. But I'd love to be able to get a smooth and stable use out of it.

it drains battery a bit though?

battery drain is already bad enough tho

Interesting battery consumption with wireless

I thought I would share my recent findings with all of you as it appears battery consumption is a hot topic. First of all I've never had a probem with battery consumption on my DHD, I've always been happy and I'm still happy. This is just an observation.
In my house I have a good wifi signal everywhere except in my bedroom, when I'm lying in bed it can lose connection every now and then, this has not really been a problem until 2.3. It's as simple as this, if I leave wifi on with a fully charged battery next to my bed the next morning there is 10-15% battery left, if I turn wifi off then the next morning there will be 75-85% battery left.
If I'm at work with wifi on all day even though it's not connected to a wifi connection when I go home there is still at least 60% left. Clearly if you leave wifi on connected to a network and the signal drops out every now and then or if the signal is poor expect your battery to be exhausted in no time. Leaving wifi on is not the problem, well in my case it isn't, it all depends on the signal strength of what you connecting to.

Same here . and if you have a good wifi signal the battery life is much much way better than using 3g connection

This is normal behaviour, when wifi is on it will try to reconnect if it loses network, hence in your case it is continually reconnecting to the wifi and draining the battery, if this is a new issue with 2.3 it may be curable by flashing one of the older radios as it may be an issue with the new radio?

same probllem
i have the same problem with my DHD, i have stock rooted rom 2.3.3, and my bettery is draining at an alarming rate, cause it always trying to reconnect to wifi network. but the main prb is that wifi signal is strong, as my laptop has excellent signal, but my phone is strange, sometimes it has full signal, sometimes it drops and completely disconnects from wifi. as i move it arround a bit it reconnects. if i flash an older radio will it resolve this prb? and how do i flash an older radio?

You need to be Radio S-OFF to flash the radio, but if you didn't have the problem previously just try downgrading with one of the RUU's listed here
which will re-flash the older radio which should put you back to before the upgrade, a work round for now is to turn wi-fi off when not actually using it at least for now. BTW this problem doesn't appear to be present in the GB custom rom's so must be some tweak by HTC that has gone awry.

i've searched trough the forum and found some answers. htc made gb drop wifi connection when the signal drops bellow -88dcbl. cusom roms have a drop limit of 101dcbl. i was on stock (only rooted) GB 2.3.3 . I've downloaded kingdoms custom rom v1.7 intalled it but i get blank screen, only wallpaper, and can't get any further. like unlocking screen and getting in to the menu. would you recommend a custom rom that's most stable for DHD? btw my phone is rooted and all OFF. i flashed like... 4 radios all the same problem, so... stock roms are no good.

Do not need to change a custom ROM, and there is a wifi connection fix (decrease the drop threshold) flashable patch zip.
Sorry I have forgotten where is it, but I think you can search and find it among the forum.

CM 7 all the way for me, and if you must have sense ARHD is supposedly very good

Use wifi timeout app so phone can sleep properly, without significant drain.

i use coredroid v7.0 now... and it's the best rom till now, i've tested 80% or custom roms on this forum. it's the most stable and complete rom. i'm sticking to it.

Is your lenovo a6000 wifi weak?

I have lenovo a6000 1gb model and i have noticed that its signal reception is quite weak as compared to other phones. Even sometimes, when the wifi signal is average, the wifi will disconnect automatically and search for networks for a while and will connect again. This happens randomly and more at times while playing games which need internet. I am using cm13 build 2 by ed300 without any custom kernel.

next update there will be option for no optimization it will increase wifi signal but effect battery while using wifi

Thank you so much sir..you have turned this unusable brick to a fast and fluid phone. I have been using your rom from cm12.1...i must say that your cm 13 much better ..no lags at all.. Just dt2w and s2w causes lock screen freeze i hope you will fix that in next update

And please increase the wifi signal strength ....i dont have any problem with the battery backup in your rom....i get a full day usage and charging completes 0 to 100 in just 90 mins...so please look into the wifi..thanks

What is no optimization ?
I m using ED300 CM 13, what is no optimization ? Can u explain me ?

[RESEARCH] Mobile network standby drain (Oreo)

Since the first release of oreo I started using the rom as a daily driver, later on paired with a good kernel it had some good perfomance
But after some days of using the rom i started to notice a huge battery drain caused by the Mobile network standby process?
My battery was old (OEM 2014 battery) so i decided to revert back to lineageOS just after a couple of days where I haven't had any issues with that mobile network standby
Now I'm really curious what is causing this issue,drain because I am using the phone on the same settings as on 7.1 nougat, I am living in a country where all networks run on 3G,H+,2G etc. so no 4G if this can be a cause
Changed the network modes many times and tested throughout the days but there was no sucess the drain was still persist, tried updating,downgrading bootloaders swithing modems but again no sucess
If there, in the world of android is any solution, here is the thread to discuss about this issue. :fingers-crossed:

I've wondered this too. I've been running los15 on my g900v , I rooted and boot the first ROM that would work without having or remembering todomuch, I ran the first custom kernal I could find via google, and ran whatever was noted as the latest Verizon modems. its like right off the bat, smooth , consistent battery life and nice. Then the next day I noticed things would crash, my Bt temperamental at best and restarted it just to get by. if I have sync on at home, WiFi off, it just chills , if I turn sync off and drive around town, my battery life gets eaten by the unknown. I pulled some logs to see whats up with my BT but haven't got around to it yet. But my battery too is old (I literally found my s5 in the trash) and I run weird processes and tweak settings all the time just to mess with it, so that could be it to. If I see anything weird I'll let you know.

I'm struggling with this issue for months, since the first port of an Oreo custom ROM (LOS and RR) for the Galaxy A3 Duos (my device) started being developed.
From the beginning I had this problem, and what, since then, puzzles me the most is the fact that only some of us, flashing the same ROM in the same device, experience the issue. Whenever I flash any of those ROMs, even before installing any user apps (or when running in safe mode), the drain is there, which leads me to think that the culprit must be some setting: not an app, because I have none installed; not the ROM itself, because not everybody has this problem.
Unfortunately there seems to be no developers looking into this bug.
For the sake of information, I've observed two things that should help to narrow down the issue; or maybe not.
First, all the devices affected, as far as I've searched, are double SIM.
Second, the Mobile Network Standby (MNS from now on) drain is narrowy connected with the Bluetooth drain (which "also" occurs in Oreo). I've experienced the following: If, after a full charge, I don't switch on Bluetooth at all, then what drains my battery (according to Advanced Battery Usage information) is MNS. However, if I switch bluetooth on -even if only for one minute- then what apparentlyh drains my battery is Bluetooth, at the same speed as MNS did before switching bluetooth on.
Funny enough, the battery use info reports zero minutes activity for both Bluetooth and MNS. But how can a process which runs zero minutes drain 50% of the battery?? I'm afraid that the battery use information isn't reliable. But then that's very bad news, since, in such case, it might well happen that the real juice sucker is neither MNS nor Bluetooth!! We might be dealing with a "ghost" here, since we can't even trust the battery use information provided by the OS.
If someone has something with which to contribute to this research, or any ideas, please comment.

I'm having the same trouble on android 9 betas, even better, my phone gets without signal during those times and there's nothing I could do but rebooting the phone.
How can we help solve this? it looks like it's annoying a lot of people now
