Hi!
Is the Q capable of doing wifi over 5GHz ?
Accoriding to:
http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/smartphones/motorola-photon-q
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)#Snapdragon_S4
it should be capable of doiung so.
Is there a way to determine the exact cpu type build in? ... did a cat /proc/cpuinfo
-> Hardware is : msm8960dt
So the hardware is capable of 5Ghz Wifi. Maybe there are some antennas missing.
As far as I can tell, it isn't. When I run the INSSIDer application, it does not detect any 5 ghz channels, despite having 5 ghz channels in range.
Sucks! I have to buy a dual band router because the 2.4GHz spectrum is crowded in this apartment. I literally get a better signal from my upstairs neighbors router than i do my own.

Try changing the channel on your router.
As a matter of fact, you can use that same inssider application I mentioned to find what channels nearby wifi networks are running, and change the channel yours is operating on to avoid the interference.
Have you tried poking around in the build.prop to see if 5 GHz can be enabled? You may have to find one from an Android device that does have 5 GHz to get the proper line.
Found this @ /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini

So back home but unable to see 5ghz wifi ;( don't know if i miss something to edit, or if the gui is "forcing" 2.4 ghz.
Maybe a more experienced user can hop in.
Finally answering and closing this thread.
I am now on scrillax gsm cm10.1 nightlies and able to connect to 5ghz networks.
Somehow the signalstrength is not properly shown, so it may use a stronger 2.4 Ghz channel if applicable. Forcing 5Ghz works just fine.

I wonder what is different in skrillax's ROM that enables 5GHz, and if it's something that can be applied to stock JB.

Is this thread really dead?
I can't imagine that nobody is interested in getting 5GHz WiFi working...
probably it's just some regulatory settings, as there seem to be ROMS that are capable of 5GHz wifi.
Just tried CM11 nightly and CarbonROM, no luck with both.
Can't somebody experienced have a look at the configuration?

Hallo,
I installed "system-froyo-15-07-10_15.tgz". The most things are fine, but I have big problems to run the internet on my XDA Orbit 2.
I use:
Code:
#alloctest 0x2000
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1723
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
#
# The following kernel parameters are useful
# ppp.nostart - Set ppp.nostart=1 to disable starting the ppp connection on boot
# msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax - The maximum frequency (in Hz) used by the SD controller
# pm.sleep_mode - The mode used when the phone is off
# 0=Power Collapse Suspend, 1=Power Collapse, 2=Apps Sleep,
# 3=Slow Clock and Wait for Interrupt 4=Wait for Interrupt
# Default is 1, use 1 for best power savings
# board-htcpolaris.panel_type - Panel type used to power the panel off and on
# 0=Don't power off the panel (Default)
# 1=Sony 2=Topoly 3=Topoly (probably just the same as 2)
# lcd.density - Defaults to 160, 128 shows more on screen
#

boot
What can I do to run the internet with 3G (UMTS by o2)?
Ciao

Hi,
i didn`t use Froyo on my XDA2, but the only thing to get 3G Work was to flash it on NAND. Never had success, with any distro, to get 3G work booting from haret.

I've got a shiny new Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S) on AT&T.. working fairly well so far, besides the annoyances with the phone being locked down and the crappy bundled mail client (I've got loooots of email in my imap box, grin.) Phone is still stock; haven't had a chance to root it yet.
In any case, the issue I'm having is that the phone is setting an invalid netmask (255.0.0.0) on the wifi interface, instead of the proper one as served by dhcp (255.255.255.0).. this is preventing the phone from talking to other devices in 10/8.
Here's the DHCP response sent to the phone by my DHCP server:
Code:
Client-IP 10.20.0.120
Your-IP 10.20.0.120
Client-Ethernet-Address 00:26:37:xx:xx:xx
Vendor-rfc1048 Extensions
Magic Cookie 0x63825363
DHCP-Message Option 53, length 1: ACK
Server-ID Option 54, length 4: 10.20.0.254
Lease-Time Option 51, length 4: 86400
Subnet-Mask Option 1, length 4: 255.255.255.0
Default-Gateway Option 3, length 4: 10.20.0.254
Domain-Name-Server Option 6, length 8: 10.20.0.254,10.20.0.1
BR Option 28, length 4: 10.20.0.255
RN Option 58, length 4: 43200
RB Option 59, length 4: 75600
END Option 255, length 0
PAD Option 0, length 0, occurs 4
As you can see from the above, the phone was assigned 10.20.0.120 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. I finally set up the android sdk, and fired up a shell with adb.. here's what it thinks its ip is:
Code:
$ ifconfig eth0
eth0: ip 10.20.0.120 mask 255.0.0.0 flags [up broadcast running multicast]
even odder, the properties on the phone has the correct netmask; output from 'getprop':
Code:
[dhcp.eth0.pid]: [3350]
[dhcp.eth0.reason]: [BOUND]
[dhcp.eth0.dns1]: [10.20.0.254]
[dhcp.eth0.dns2]: [10.20.0.1]
[dhcp.eth0.dns3]: []
[dhcp.eth0.dns4]: []
[dhcp.eth0.ipaddress]: [10.20.0.120]
[dhcp.eth0.gateway]: [10.20.0.254]
[dhcp.eth0.mask]: [255.255.255.0]
[dhcp.eth0.leasetime]: [86400]
[dhcp.eth0.server]: [10.20.0.254]
I suspect a firmware bug, but don't know for sure - anyone run into this before?
Appreciate any thoughts!
Same issue here. I posted about it here and on the ATT forums and sadly nobody has any suggestions other than reporting the bug to samsung. I did a bit of poking around in the console grepping 255.0.0.0 but didnt find any files. Im just gonna weather the storm and wait for the next firmware to be released. I have a shortcut to wifi settings and I just toggle the "static ip" option as needed.
FYI, there's also a post on ATT's forums about this.. I'm not allowed to link to it, but a Google search for "Samsung Captivate WiFi DHCP netmask issue" will get you to it..
Generally I dislike reviving old threads, but this appears unresolved and I've been encountering it on my Samsung Vibrant.
Can anyone confirm whether this happens with Froyo, or other Eclair-based handsets, or is it specific to Android 2.1 on Samsung GalaxyS?
When the Wifi DHCP assigns an IP in the 10.x.x.x block, (which is actually assigned with a /24 netmask) android puts the IP on the interface TWICE, with both /24 and an incorrect /8 subnet mask. ("ifconfig" is essentially a legacy command from linux kernel 2.2 era, when multiple IPs required aliased interfaces - with two IPs on one interface today "ifconfig" will only show the first one. Since kernel 2.4 days "ip" is the preferred tool)

This causes me significant problems, as 10.200.10.0/24 is the wifi subnet, but 50 other 10.x.x.x subnets exist on the local network, and because it erroneously applies a /8 mask on the local interface I'm unable to reach anything on the 10.x.x.x networks outside of 10.200.10.x. (I have to manually go in and remove the first IP with the /8 subnet)
(Aside, as you might notice it correctly autoconfigured an ipv6 address, with 2001:470:e130::1/64 gateway running radvd - now if only apps like web browser understood ipv6...)

Hello,
I am looking to reduce the maximum transmit power of the wifi module from 100mW to 50 or 10mW. Unlike iOS (iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad) Android does not seem to reduce the Tx power of the wifi radio as needed. On Nokia devices you're able to set the maximum Tx level of the Wifi module / antenna from the "Show advanced" menu in your wlan configuration. After pressing yes to 'blah blah advanced blah blah blah. On Android it seems to be at a constant 100mW regardless of Rx decibels. Not only wasting more batter than ever, but also subjecting you to unneeded amounts of radiation.
Reading online some users have tweaked the wlan power saving mode using wlan_cu. Also another posting indicated options might be in tiwlan.conf (but this seems related to tethering only).
I couldn't find either wlan_cu or tiwlan.conf on my 2.2 android desire.
Code:
which wlan_cu
find / -name tiwlan.conf
find / -name wlan_cu
On my Android 2.1 tablet, you can reduce tx power on the command line using iwconfig.
iwconfig wlan0 txpower auto

At home I've found this reduces the power (according to iwconfig) from 16 dBm to 1 dBm. However, this setting is lost when wifi is disabled.
I haven't yet tested whether this results in a significant improvement to battery life, but if it does I'm planning to write an app to set it automatically whenever wifi is disabled.

Did it give any good results?
I am carrying out wifi mesh experiments on my several GT540 phones which are configured with wifi ad hoc mode.
However, I found that the network traffic has been dominated by the beacon messages which are broadcasted at the interval of 0.1 second. So I am looking for methods that can increase this beacon interval for higher network throughput.
The wifi adapters on my GT540 phones are Broadcom BCM4325. How can I configure their beacon intervals?
I did a liitle search into the android source code.
$ cd android-source-folder/hardware/broadcom/wlan/bcm4325
$ grep -lir "beacon_period" .
./src/include/wlioctl.h
./src/include/proto/802.11.h
There is only a range defined for beacon interval in the file 802.11.h.
#define DOT11_MIN_BEACON_PERIOD 1
#define DOT11_MAX_BEACON_PERIOD 0xFFFF
How I can adjust this beacon period? Any feedback would be extremely appreciated

Hi,
I set my router to use 40mhz of wlan channel width in the 2,4ghz band. (Fritzbox 7390)
After changing that setting from 20mhz to 40mhz in the router, the router shows, that the asus tablet uses 40mhz now.
But the router shows also, that the Oneplus One still uses only 20mhz channel width.
How can I force the Oneplus one to use 40Mhz?
*push*
Nobody knows how to enable 40mhz channel width on the 1+1?
It really bothers me that on 2,4Ghz I can only get 65Mbit/s Link speed, while on the 5Ghz band I get 150mBit/s link speed
Yep, bothers me too. Is there no fix???
I have the same issue. Looking forward to find a fix for that.
Maybe the phone doesn't support 40 MHz on 2.4 GHz networks. Have you tried 5 GHz? I'm getting over 400 Mbps link speed on my network
I would like to know is there any settings file for wifi module to set this option, too?
PS. For mediatek chip there is config file located at /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Does anybody know extra key which controls using of 40 MHz width?
For qualcomm chip there is valuable info here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70388418&postcount=20

You have to disable WLan-Coexistance.
Info article: https://en.avm.de/service/fritzbox/...ality-increased-by-reduced-channel-bandwidth/
As far as I know, you should change the configuration of your router... I solved the same problem with the Moto G5+ (getting only 72mbps connection) by changing the router's configuration from "20/40 auto" to "only 40", so I have now 150mbps link speed in 2.4Ghz
