just surprised to see no replies till yet. I have the same problem on my atrix 2. i think it's a problem with android. it puts tasks to sleep some time after screen gets locked. these are the demerits of over management when your important tasks get interrupted and you get irritated like anything.

USB tether 4g never works correctly? AOSP

I've tried every AOSP Rom/Kernel variations and I can't get anything to stay USB 4g tethered for more then 5 minutes. Tshed was flying with stock CM7 USB tether and then all of the sudden doesn't work. I tried all AOSP Roms. And wired-tether 1.4 is what I use. Please help me out. I have this phone for another year and that's all I'm missing. Please help. A trick, known set up, etc maybe. Anything not to have to reset the app every 3-5 minutes or so. I can't believe I haven't seen this brought up lately? Is it only me?

Have u tried pda net?

Yeah u have to install software on every PC u wanna use and that kinda sucks but I still get the frequent resets and they're connection is pretty slow. I have to reset pdanet, wired-tether 1.4, etc. Every few minutes. I used watershed 1.2 cm7 stock USB tether and it worked beautifully for about a day and then nothing. So I flashed imo's kernel and stock tether doesn't work at all but I have to reset wired-tether 1.4 every 3-5 minutes or so.

I don't use USB tethering often, but when I do, the built in version always works perfectly. Tried it on OMFGB, liquid AOSP, and workshed CM7. An older version of Imo's kernel (version 4 I think) supports USB tethering.

I use easy tether and have no issues. For wifi tether I use opengarden (faster than USB tether) don't have issues with either.
And its only when I try to use 4G. 3G will stay tethered all day long if i let it but its just way to slow. I usually get 15-20 Mbps down with USB tether 4g. Thats fast as hell. I wish I had a little Porto WiFi adapter for my work PC's. Cuz yeah when I wifi tether my AOKP TouchPad I dont have this problem.
There may be something wrong specifically with his ROM. I have USB Tethering working fine on my Sense-based ROM, but I tried his and it would work for 15 seconds and stop working, then never reconnect. I tried having something persistently connected to internet on my phone but that didn't help either.
I use the ClockworkMod Tether. Works on every ROM I've tried.
I was hoping I wasn't gonna have to resort to sense but I might have
to. I need this to just work. No installer PC ware

Ive tried my Phenom2 x6 and 2 Diff. Core 2 Duo's (that's just my House).
A few Newer laptops. Wifi tether worked no problem, just alot slower then straight USB (when it works).
There were a few at work I tried and No good either.
Back when I first started bringing up this issue (Sept.) I was told It was a known 4g issue (By a great Dev who has since moved to the Razor, hint hint) and that's why there is no problem with 3 g tethering at all. Just wondering If someone had a set up that completely works with out having to reset every 5 Min or so. I think I had good Luck with ThunderShed 1.3 this weekend. I fell asleep FTPing some stuff from my friend (good size) and It was finished when I woke up. That's a good sign so far. I just need one person to see this thread that has the perfect setup for 4G USB Tethering, 24/7 if need be. It would be great to know.

I always just used the built in wired tether with cm7. I had an issue once where it would drop in and out, but after doing a total reset and reloading cm7 once again, it was fine. I also don't use the DNS with the phone. I switch my DNS on my PC to be layer3 DNS (4.2.2.1 to 4.2.2.6). DNS is allegedly one of the ways they can track what device the transfer is coming from.

This could be big help. Im at work now but when I get home I will check into this more. Thanks so much. I can never get the built in USB tether to work from CM7. TShed's built in CM7 worked for a while then just cut out. The little name your connection from Win7 popped up but had no Internet at all. May be something to this. Thank you.

Might also try disabling IPv6 and anything else not needed on the connection as it won't actually tether through it anyways. It could be causing a conflict somehow

So you are running which cm7. I am now running TShed 1.3 and stock tether was great for about 20 minutes. Then just stopped. So turned off tether reset mobile data and 3g 4g. Nothing. Not even wired 1.4 works. Rebooted a few times, I've been at this for bout an hour now and still nothing. Not even wired 1.4. So I switched from auto to 4.2.2.1-4.2.2.6 DNS. Thanks for that bit of info. Now do I have to do that every time? Anyway I'm frigging stuck here and I hear all these people's are working fine.

If you set the DNS on your PC, it should stay that way. You can always verify if you need to. But yeah, I used cm7 and the built in tether just fine.

So every time my USB connection starts it gives me a new Connection(I'm up to like number 54. So I have to go in and set the DNS and disable ipv6 every time? How do I get my USB tether settings to stick on my Win7 Ultimate x64 every time I start my tether instead of it thinking its a brand new connection every time? I got ThunderShed 1.3(stock kernel) installed now and the stock tether isn't working but the wired-tether 1.4 is working great after a couple resets. It must have stuck for a few hours until I shut it off. That's great considering how bad of a time Ive been having.

Not sure why it keeps changing your connection number. It's never done that to me unless I've flashed a new ROM or something when I've used it on windows 7. Turning off and turning back on your wifi device might also do it (the one attached to your PC).

[Q] Wifi Calling Issue...??

So I've had a problem that I've noticed a lot of people having: Receiving an error that says, "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has suddenly stopped. Stopping the app and clearing data has only ever been a temporary fix for me.
Now, I've made a new discovery: The error stops when I turn off Wifi Calling. I pretty much NEED Wifi Calling when I'm at my house, so I was wondering if there might be a possible solution to this.
I am in the same situation where I need wifi calling in my place...GB ROMs are the most reliable you will find atm...
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2
I'm going to run through a couple of different roms to see what I can come up with.
That is a common issue with ICS at the moment. I have found that if it does this just do a hard boot (boot holding Power + Volume Up for 10 seconds while starting phone) and then turn on Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi calling and that has fixed it for me a few times.
This happens with every ICS rim out there.... Believe me I tried them all. I need it for work and unfortunately I had to resort to GB.... You will never get rid of that error. Sorry but I tried everything as well.. Good luck and God speed......
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Yeah I've finally decided to break down and go to GB. I just finished downloading a few roms to test out to see which one I like best. I've loved having ICS on my phone. It's quite lovely, but just too many bugs right now. I will still be coming back to ICS (even if only temporarily) to scope out the HFS 1.8 when it arrives, but until then I'll have to do with out.

I just made the same determination. Really really like everything about HFS 1.8 except I get the same error when Wifi calling is enabled. I work in a dungeon basement office with zero cell reception, so I really need Wifi calling to work reliably.
Will definitely be back once the Wifi calling issues are fixed though.

Wifi issues with all ICS based roms.

I have tried lots of ICS roms till now and with every rom Iam seeing same wifi issues.
Wifi keeps disconnecting every 15 20 mins.
Today I installed official ICS using ODIN and still same issue. I was thinking this wouldn't be present in final release.
Everything works perfect on GB. Very excited about ICS but can't use my phone with wifi issues
Did anyone notice this on their phone?

I haven't had this issue personally..
Have you tried more then one WIFI network? Just thinking maybe it's your access point/router that's having issues, try restarting it perhaps?
Edit: Could also try playing with the WIFI settings in the router, sometimes changing the channel works for especially angry devices.
Factory reset the router
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
As I said earlier, it has nothing to do with my Router as everything works perfectly if I am on GB. I have Kindle Fire(on CM9) and Galaxy Tab 2( CM9) also and no issues those devices.
I see the same issue at home as well as in office wifi.
As the wifi gets connected within seconds after getting disconnected so it doesn't effect Web browsing, but when playing online games it becomes a nightmare.

CM-10 08/21 bug

Since I am unable to post it the developement forum for the CM nightlies, this sub-forum is the only option. Gchat (at least on my phone) only plays thru the headset speaker (not the external). Had to hook up a set of buds to be able to converse with the wife this morning. If anyone reads this and can either move it to the DEV section, or at least let them know it would be beneficial.
CM 10 Nightly 8/21
Installed the Official CM 10 Nightly 8/21 an hour ago and it is running great. MMS works, Camera works with out crash or reboot, No reboots and a flashlight app I use that caused a reboot on 8/20 works with out a reboot on 8/21. keep up the great work. If only I could post where it would be seen.
Unless I missed a setting somewhere, the Audio through USB didn't work either. Still a [email protected] rom though and I know for most that option isn't important.
Another bug?
Anyone else having problems with Google Maps stopping. Doesn't matter whether GPS is on or off. Loads, locates and then closes. This will be one thing that makes me go back to an ICS ROM.... have to have maps working. 08/21 build.

Full wipe and reinstall appears to have fixed this.
TAPPED in on my (now unlocked bootloader) Verizon S3
I did a full wipe and install. I don't get any random reboots anymore. No echos. But the battery seems to be worse. I'm dropping at 2% per half-hour rate. This is w/o touching the phone at all. Just letting it sit there. Anyone experiencing something like this with the battery?
Can't get the USB Audio to work. So far, this is the only issue I've had.

How does Bluetooth audio look as of now?
I'm waiting for bluetooth to be 100% on CM10 before I use it as a DD. It looks and works great just need that functionality. It was the same on my trusty Thunderbolt (god rest his soul) when CM was being built for it.

[Q] wifi seems to be stuck

My wifi was working fine before but yesterday I tried getting on wifi and the position seems to be stuck. It seems like it was to connect but it wont connect, i leave my phone to try and connect for many hours and it doesnt. I go to mysettings to try and turn the wifi position to off and i cant. Ive tried restarting and taking the battery out and nothing helps. I got my wifi to turn off, and after a few hours without trying to get on wifi i tried connecting and its back to what it has been doing, like in a stuck position. I got it to go off by turning the phone off completly for a few hours. Any help is well appreciated. Thank you in advance. I tried attaching a picture to better explain this, but for some reason I cant even attach a file.
What rom are you on?

I've been having weird WiFi issues recently too. I'm stock. I disabled the ATT Smart WiFi but that doesn't seem to fix things. Tried one of the WiFi applications to reconnect when it detects the failure but that works only about 99% of the time.

My wifi doesnt even connect now, it shows that its trying to connect but it wont. The wifi icon doesnt go to full green, it stays on a transparent green, like it wants to connect but wont.
If it was me I'd flash the stock from and get it back to the way it used to be. But if you're on stock now and haven't done any flashing its going to take a lot of learning on your part. You are going to have to learn to use odin and where to get the stock rom. Not sure if you're up for that.

If you both are on stock call ATT. They will be more then happy to help you. With your level of knowledge that is your best course of action. They will most likely tell you to factory reset your phone. You will loose all your apps and settings. Tell them you want to back that up first. They should be able to help you from there.

Guess this is what i will have to do, i just dont no if something is wrong with my phone. Thank you for your help
Hey guys,
I've been using this phone (skyrocket ROGERS version) and have had this problem ever since I "upgraded" to ICS; and I've had so many problems with this phone! I've just learned to accept that my WiFi will never work consistently enough for me to use it so I just always use my data plan (luckily I've got a lot of data).
THINGS I HAVE TRIED
Cm 10 stable
Cm 10 nightly
Cm 9 stable
Miui
Flashing stock ICS
Flashing stock Jb
Things I haven't tried
Flashing stock gingerbread (because this was the only time my WiFi worked consistently, but why go back to gingerbread)
If anybody has ANY insight on this it would be very helpful
I guess I should also mention that I've flashed everyone of these ROMs that I listed at least 3-5 times just to ensure it wasn't just a bad flash.
