Hi All,
I'm wanting to know if there is a fix for the wi-fi dropping perfectly useable signals at -88dBM since HTC's Gingerbread update?
I am now S-OFF and rooted, and have recently installed Android Revolution HD as my ROM, as this promised 'improved wi-fi drivers', but this sadly hasn't included a fix for this issue.
I would've thought this would be top of the list for developers as there have been many complaints by users since 'upgrading' from Froyo.
Any advice would be appreciated...
Many thanks.
Anyone? This is a major issue for me.
i think its an issue with all gingerbread roms, maybe you could try turning "best wifi performance" on.
i thought maybe it was working for me as i think it dropped less, it does use considerably more battery though.

That's the main reason I have S-OFFed my phone, and since then I have tried a lot of updates ( Roms, Kernels, Radios...), without any luck so far.
Returning to Froyo may be our best bet but I do not know if it is feasible yet.
Yes, I thought this would've been a quick fix for the developers.
If I can downgrade to Froyo, I will do so in an instant!
Did anyone find a workaround for the wifi issue ? I am quite surprised that there aren't more people complaining about it...

And when ever anyone asks about it, there is deadly silence. I would have thought that some of the excelent devs on here would at least have some opinions to share on possible ways forward or not ?
OK.guys I have a stock n1 running 2.3.6 but I am tired of the wifi issue my question is if I root does this fix the issue and also what are the benefits of rooting and which is the best method and rom
Thanks in advance
Can't answer for certainty because we don't know if your problem is software or hardware related.

my wifi keep on droping off when i google it i see its a problem with the n1
hope this helps
I haven't run stock since Froyo came out, but I haven't had any issues with my wifi, so if it is an issue with software, it doesn't seem like it exists in CyanogenMod. But as baseballfanz mentioned, it is too difficult to determine whether your issue is hardware or software. If it is software, it should be fixed. The two most popular custom ROMs are CyanogenMod and MIUI. I know CyanogenMod covers a lot of the additional features on their website, I am not sure about MIUI, but both probably include better perfomance and battery life, along with a ton of extra features.
Never had any WiFi issues myself or heard of anyone else having any with the N1. I suppose you could TRY another rom but I'm not sure if that would work. If you do I would recommend a cyanogenmod simply because theres so many people using that if anyone else has had this issue its probably been reported and solved if it was a software problem. Always worth a hot and if nothing else theres more to do with a rooted phone anyway.
Good luck, hope you'll let us know how you get on.

There are many people reporting Wi-Fi issues on the Nexus One on a stock ROM after the 2.3.6 update. Many threads in this forum, as well as google's support forum...
Root anyway
Too many benefits and too much fun not to--
Full image backups
Better app managemet
Faster Updates
Ability to run Sense roms
Overclocking
etc
etc
ok ok you guys twisted my arm lol i am going to install cm7.1 let you know how this runs
If you are not rooted yet back up phone with an app like MyBackUp Pro and copy sdcard to pc
Include System Wipe as part of wiping phone before flashing new rom
Best Recovery--latest non-beta Amon_Ra
Wiki has good root info--
not worried about apps all free app can download so not going to back up lol
Your Brave
It backs up more than apps--does System/Home Screens/Bookmarks/SMS/MMS/Playlists etc
Def do your sdcard
Good Luck
brave you say lol
its a new phone so i dont have anything i want to keep in it new as in new to me but a used phone
hey guy sorry took long to report i sucessfully rooted my n1 rubbing cm7 are there any good sense roms i could try i really like the sense interface thanks alot
Check in the Nexus One Android Development forum, or look at the Nexus One wiki, which lists more roms as well. I just went to the Development forum myself and did a search for "sense", there's multiple Sense roms in that forum.
Good luck.
I loaded a runnymedemod007 v007 ROM RUNNING GREAT SO FAR
Hey where Is my manners THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THE ASSISTANCE !!!

I have been trying to get a nice ROM and i have tried almost all of them... right now I'm testing unofficial AOKP and it seems like the one i will use but for some reason when opening the camera the phone restarts.
can't save logs because of that and all applications which try to access the cam end up crashing the phone, so no Skype, g+ and so on.
installing gallery.apk from cm 10.1 (which works fine) doesn't fix the issue...
does anybody have this problem?
i don't seem to find any threads about this.

This is a well known problem. International S3 camera crashes with aosp ROMs. It's to do with the camera firmware version but I've not found any of the solutions posted online have worked for me. Its a total nightmare.
the nightmare continues
Further to my post above...
Getting an S3 i9300 has been the worst phone-based decision I ever made. I love AOKP, but the camera issue exists on any rom I run on my S3 except for roms based on Samsung stock.
The reason, I have learned along my quest, is because the i9300 has variations in the camera hardware, and AOSP/AOKP roms appear to be tested with whichever one I haven't got. Great. There are guides to updating the camera firmware in isolation which I have tried without any improvement, but it does pass the time a little while I wait for the Nexus 5. I've come to the conclusion that if you want to enjoy a pure Google experience, that is the only answer.
Of course it isn't the fault of team AOKP that you and I can't enjoy their great ROM - and Samsung don't design their phones to be run anything other than their own stock firmware, so it's not as if you can blame them either. But it is sad that nobody appears to be listening to everybody that has this problem. The S3 was a top selling Android device last year and you'd think that at least one developer has this issue and wants to fix it, but apparently not. To my mind it seems as simple as including drivers for both camera firmwares, which is obviously what Samsung do with their stock roms.
I know this is basically just a rant but unfortunately I can't engage in any serious techie discussions because XDA consider me a noob. If you have this issue and permission to discuss it then please do try and take it forward with them.

Basically that is to stop users asking stupid questions like how do i switch the phone on .
But as its relatively easy to make ten or more non stupid posts on XDA its not a problem . Although if you where stupid on post 9 i fail to see how you gain intelligence by post 11.
General Q&A Accessories and Themes do not require ten posts even for boobs .
This is not the I9300 forum see above are you ranting about this phone I9305 or some other phone ??

You have mentioned only AOSP/AOKP ROMs, what about CM 10.2 nightlies. Camera works well on my i9305. But 'force 4xMSAA' under developer options must be unchecked (default.) .

maybe try AOKP ported by infrag?
I have just found bug with video and zooming though....
Every Cyanogenmod rom I've tried, bet it 4.1/4.2 has really bad scrolling issues where the screen/page keeps snapping back. It is very obvious when you scroll fast. Nobody seems to post this problem in the threads for the roms and whenever I do, I never get a response as if I'm the only one with the issue. However, I've seen videos of others with the same roms and whenever they scroll I can see the same problem. Will this issue ever be fixed, or will be people continue to pretend it doesn't exist? I really want to use a ROM without Sense but the issue is just so frustrating.

I have the same issue with most custom roms.
This is why I have a fear for custom roms now. Users claim that the rom is stable/ excellent, yet I find lots of issues when I flash them.
btw, if your kernel supports STweaks, you lighten this issue by going to screen > touchmove sensitivity > 20 pixels

I have this on my Nexus 7 as well, not sure what is causing it but I know what you mean. I have seen no fix for it, I am used to it now so I scroll slower

oops, you caught a samsung user hanging out in the htc section hahahaha
but yeah I just googled "horrible scrolling cyanogenmod" because I have had the same problem across two samsung phones.
I have no real problem on 4.3 or any CyanogenMod ROM for that matter. Smooth sailing. All except CM7, for some reason it jolted and skipped around. Anything beats stock ROM as well

Have lately unlocked my phone 2 days ago
And this comes now with all the apps I use.
Whatsapp, Footej, GCMod5, Snap Camera
Anyone any help because I already searched the question and answers section where I found none related to the camera issues.
All were regarding the bricked phones.
Could anyone kindly help me with this or this is how I have to be with my phone for the rest?
This is the big problem of all rom except miui,eui,flyme,etc.
All dev are porting rom like flood but none of them work on camera quality and beauty mode seriously.
This is the reason people have to leave these rom after 1 hour experience.
All rom have nearly same features but no one care about problem.
Only rom one by one.

I am experiencing less wifi speed. What about you?
