I don't care whether you delete this topic or not. It is, somewhat, development related. I'm just doing a new topic for this thing because, if I were to post this on a ROM thread, it would have become covered with 100 other posts within the hour, decreasing the chances of the developer reading it! My hope, with this thread, is that someone interested or someone who knows about this, sees it and does something about it! Please read first, and if you, the one who has the power to delete threads for whatever reason, consider it utterly useless and retarded, delete it.
I'm a new DHD user (switched over from the Desire). This issue was in Sense ROMs for the Desire, as well. The Desire S had this problem with stock GB, too.
In CM-based ROMs such as MIUI (which is what I'm currently using), you get an "Advanced" section under Wireless Networks. From there, you can choose the wi-fi channels (11, 13, 14). On a freshly flashed MIUI, no channel is selected. I have two wi-fi networks in my appartment (one is mine, one is from a neighbour). That second wi-fi network, from my neighbour... my phone does not see it (unless I choose 13 or 14 wi-fi channels).
Funny thing. That neighbour's wi-fi... it's set on channel #3. It's a MSI RG54SE II router, if that matters.
Now, on Sense ROMs, such as Android Revolution HD and RunnyDrOiD (the ones I have tried so far), you don't get the option to choose the channels. So... that RG54SE II is unseen by my phone.
Back when I was having the Desire... Only LeeDrOiD ROM had that "Advanced" section under Wireless Networks. Not sure if that's the case with his ROM for the DHD, as well...
So, this thing is not only for the DHD. It's also for the Desire, and the Desire S. My gilfriend has a DS, and until I convinced her to let me unleash her phone's lockers and flash something on it, she could only see 3 Wi-Fi`s (stock 2.3.3, that is), while I could connect to all 20 that were available in the zone.

Hope you get my point. Hope you know what I'm talking about. Hope I'm not the only one that noticed this!!!
If anyone has any idea on how to solve this... please tell me. I have tried LeeDrOiD's "Adhoc networking" (that was the only network-related addon I could find, so...) patch, but that didn't do the work. I don't know what will, since there isn't any addon for this... or I'm blind? Open my eyes, then - KINDLY, not with a banhammer.

This is not the answer you're looking for, but it's worth a mention. You should just ask your neighbor to use a recommended channel. I notice that you're outside of the U.S., where you are supposed to use channels 1, 5, 9 or 13 to prevent wi-fi networks from interfering with each other (within the U.S. you are supposed to use channels 1, 6 or 11). You can make up a story and tell your neighbor that his oddball channel 3 configuration (that he probably decided to use for no good reason) is causing interference with your own network, and you have the technical proof to back it up. From Wikipedia:
"There are 14 channels designated in the 2.4 GHz range spaced 5 MHz apart (with the exception of a 12 MHz spacing before Channel 14). As the protocol requires 25 MHz of channel separation, adjacent channels overlap and will interfere with each other. Consequently, using only channels 1, 6, 11 is recommended in the US to avoid interference. In the rest of the world, the four channels 1, 5, 9, 13 are recommended."
Maybe you can just get your neighbor to follow the rules and switch his network to channel 1, 5 or 9. Then every ROM that you use will have no problem connecting to his network and the problem is solved. I'm assuming you have his permission to use his network resources.
Both my Huawei and his MSI router are configured to channel 3. I put it to that, because there are other 10 networks within this area, and I thought... meh... perhaps they're not using the same channel, lol. Anyway, with the phone, on 14 channels, I only see 5 networks, including mine. With the laptop, I see about 11, so I believe this applies to whatever networks there may be outside, too...
The neighbour I'm talking about... I don't have his permission. I think it's one of those 50 year old couples who don't give a **** about what hardware the ISP installs in their home. Most older-than-45 people here, in my country, know nothing about Wi-Fi, and, since they don't even use it... I wouldn't be surprised if the people who own that MSI router don't even know it's there.
Anyway... the gateway, interface, whatever (192.168.1.1) is accessible, and the user/pass are not changed ("admin', that is). It ain't got a password, neither, obviously. So I could get in and change everything I wished regarding WLAN. Too bad it ain't got /n, but still... I'll try to change the channel even further, and try again with a Sense ROM.
Still, that doesn't fix the issue. Downtown, the most crowded place in the entire city... there are about 25 Wi-Fi networks around (at least that's what I can detect with my phone). My phone (CM-based ROM) can see them all. My girlfriend, with her stock ROM`ed Desire S, could only see 5 or 6. That is no longer the case now, since she's got MIUI, too. And I believe this is the issue with all Sense ROMs : you see 30% of the WLANs you'd see with a CM-based ROM...
I can't ask public stores : hey, your wi-fi... it's set to a channel that my phone just can't see, change it!

@Formhault - You risk Jail if you violate the neighbors privacy. It's like you found on the street a wallet full of money and you don't gave back to the injured person.
I posted a thread just like this before and it passed rather unseen. And un touched. Also I asked for a similar situation and had negative answer. But my issue is that I have a VIZIO router.
This is a rather new router and it gives me another option VIZIO HD. Which is more advance and speedier. I have a 12mb connection but I dont have full speed as I cant connect with this.
And a samsung galaxy can also a motorola atrix so I would like to know if someone knows if this can be modified.

Firstly, using a persons WiFi without permission is theft, regardless of whether it is locked or not. Does an open window in someone's house mean you can legally steal there belongings?
Secondly, this is not Development related in the slightest.
Thirdly, you want the XDA community to help you find a solution to break the law? You should search for an answer elsewhere. i.e. not XDA.

Since it's 2015, I was just wondering: Does this Nexus FINALLY support 5GHz wi-fi DFS channels?
For anybody who might be confused: the question means whether it supports more than the four basic 5GHz channels. If yes, then: me = :victory:
Thanks! :highfive:
(hope smbd. knows the answer to this as it hasn't been asked yet... might need to bump this up to the top a couple of times otherwise)
has anybody been able to test this yet?

Well, no one has it yet.
According to iFixit, the Nexus 6P contains the broadcom BCM4358 chip which does support up to 80mhz channelization according to the info at the links below.
https://www.broadcom.com/press/release.php?id=s868805
http://www.digchip.com/datasheets/8767095-bcm4358-broadcom-combo-chip.html
I am currently testing a new wireless deployment and the Nexus 6P is one of my client test devices. I will try to report back once testing is complete.
Sorry to revive an old thread, but any news on this?
My 6P connected to DFS channels fine.

I just tested and it's working fine. NEXUS 6P 6.0 android

After upgrading to 7.0 or above. Nexus 6P has major issues with respect to WiFi services:
1) Intermittent connect drop
2) Unable to find/connect 5Ghz band services on the mobile device.
As per multiple fourms if someone says, WiFi is working in safe mode or reconnect/re-configure the WiFi services. All those bunch, do not have a solution to this issue.
I neither wish to step on to some other device/make, nor I think this issue could not get fixed. This is an amazing phone with a black spot (WiFi bug) on it. I would really appreciate, if google overcome this issue so that we can enjoy using the device and Google services.
Hello all,
i'm sure i'm not the first to ask, yet i didn't find any threads about this.
my phone can't seem to connect to 5ghz wifi when the channel is a higher one (149-161). it doesn't even see the SSID. when I switch to the lower channels (36-48) I can see it and connect.
I would much rather fix this so i could use the higher channels where the signal is better overall.
any idea why this is hapenning? on my iphone 6 it works great when using channel 149.
I'm running 5.1.1 Fusion Rom rooted.
cheers!
Anybody knows ?
maybe it's a hardware problem?
i'm seeing this same behavior on SM-G900T (TMO S5) and other devices apparently due to missing country code and calibration files.
please see notes and upvote BUGBASH-2594 : 5ghz WiFi bands partially not seen as client and not available at all as hotspot
hopefully that helps bring together awareness of this widespread issue that seems to be easily overlooked (i mostly find myself using 2.4ghz networks anyway).
Hi guys.
Is there a ROM with WiFi not slowing down when Bluetooth is active?
Tried multiple ones but there is always this bug.
I don't think there is a chance to get this.
I had the same situation and searched a lot.
What I found out is, that both are using the same frequence range (2,4 GHz) and therefor disturbing each other.
If I am wrong and anyone has a hint, I would be happy.

I don't think that there was a problem on older versions of Android therefore I think it should be solvable.
BT is always on for my watch and no pbs with WiFi..... I have a Xiaomi Router (2.4 and 5GHz) and on my Redmi I use Wifi Bonding in Magisk

For me it was always there, even with the latest official MIUI 10 (Android 6). I think I started with MIUI 9.
On my side I have a MI Band 2 connected with my phone and at home I am using a FritzBox 7490 and a FritzBox 4040.

That could explain why it is faster. If I remember correct, my FritzBox shows me the Redmi only uses 70 Mbit Wlan speed with 20MHz Bandwith.
I will recheck this a home. (Didn't check what is shown since I installed Lineageos 15.1)
So maybe 150Mbit Speed and high bandwidth were enabled in older versions (Kernel, Drivers, Configuration).
@vojtah1
Do you know a Rom and version without that problem?
Maybe it is possible to compare the WiFi configs between that rom and get the difference.

Not 100% sure but i think that xperience ROM worked fine.
edit: I use land as a daily and got tired of reflashing. Not gonna check now.
I'm with DotOS 3.0 with Yuka kernel and no wifi problems
