Sluggish WiFi? Try this:

If you're having trouble with WiFi becoming sluggish, it may be as simple as needing to delete your wifi data.
Navigate, in Root Explorer (or any capable of accessing /data) to /data/misc. Now, either delete the /data/misc/wifi folder entirely, or if you're being anal, you can rename it to something like 'backup_wifi'.
Reboot. On this startup, your phone will rebuild the wifi data, and if you're lucky, everything will be back up to speed. It helped out with my issues after flashing a few ROMs. Sometimes that stuff can get corrupted, as I can attest to with my HP Touchpad countless times. Once you're satisfied with the result, you can delete the old folder, if you chose to rename it instead of deleting it.
Anyways, post your results if you try it.

Weird how so many people are having bad WiFi and I'm not. It might be because I'm on the newest T-Mobile stock Rom.

The only trouble I've had is with non-stock ROMs, such as UTB and Black Dragon. I think a lot of those with issues may be doing the same.

I have had the wifi signal drop on my previous HTC one S handset
the replacement seems to be very good in keeping the signal, even stays on when on idle. So thanks for the input, lets see what others report.

Same or different software/firmware on the replacement handset?

Can you port your baseband version, which indicates radio version I think. It can be found in software information->more.
Btw, mine one is 0.15.31501S.19_10.12.31501S.06L
If you have a different one, it may mean yours is newer and better. Thanks

+1 With the tmobile version being the newest i assume it will have a different radio / modem than the rest of us with the international version...
I think this is software related, I get the bad signal, But i know my phone isnt faulty...
Waiting eagerly for an update.
C'MON HTC WTF ?!?!?!?

thanks zylith but do you have the wifi issues or not

here is an international unbranded One S with Wifi problems and and also the 3G/UMTS switching issues fviw.

I'm on the stock Rom from three UK and have no problem with wifi. The only thing I did do however is change my WiFi channel to improve signal strength from the router. I've included a screen shot of my baseband version.

Yes, it could be a solution cos at work with better WiFi router working on 802.11n my phone connects to it all the time without problem but at home my one I believe does not work on n so it may cause the WiFi issue.
However, I still think this is a software problem cos my old incredible s worked flawlessly both at work and home so the radio must playing a role here.

OK, quote myself, there might be something wrong with what I said about Radio and Wifi, there might be no connection between these two. I read some other forums someone suggested Radio has nothing to do with wifi....
Sorry for the confusion, could any one who is familiar with Radio in Android comment on this? If there is indeed no link between these two, we might need to think other things which cause the Wifi problem.
My bad, should have done more research rather than just pointing to Radio which appeared on top of my head when thinking about the problem.

Guys, let's try to stay on topic a bit. This thread has been quasi-hijacked. I posted this because I want to know if others are able to fix their problems by using my fix method. 2 Pages of posts now and not a single person has bothered to say whether they tried my method, much less their results. It's turned into a debate about wifi in general.

Yeah - I love the samsungs but for some reason they don't work as well as other phones on the Verizon network. If I only used a few hundred minutes per month, I might not notice however I spend about 2-3 thousand minutes per month on the phone so I'm VERY aware of when a phone has a radio issue.

im shocked i haven't seen anything posted about this update anywhere but this thread.

With every OTA the question is the same - could this possibly lock the bootloader again? This looks like it's just an updated gmail and play store apk, wonder why its 62MB in size.

It just says 'email' not 'Gmail'. We wouldn't get an update to Gmail from Verizon, we'd get it from the play store. Or the leaked one that's kicking around the forums.

Click to expand...

The no SIM problem I wouldn't think would be a software issue considering it doesn't affect all the phones. There are many many people who do not have this issue. I'm actually pretty sure I read something a while ago that said the SIM cards they are making are crappy quality, therefor that could be the culprit. I dunno tho for sure.

I don't know about that. That is something I have been thinking about lately..... I have been having a problem with my phones service, I live in a strong 3g and 4g area, and after I rooted both of my GS3's they started dropping service left and right where before they hadn't. The more I have read about the no sim issue the more it sounds just like my service dropping problem just without the no sim message appearing for me. So I wonder if more of the phone have it than we think and we think the terrible service is because of the radios when in all actuality its the no sim error and it just doesn't pop up the no sim message..... yes I know Samsung radios are crap on Verizon but I have plenty more Samsung phones that have never had any service issue whatsoever, whereas this phone you have to hold you head a certain way with both your arms stretched out and your tongue touching your nose just to send a message.

I'm running the HD, so this new HE must be like one build newer I would guess.
I wonder if people running HD will receive the OTA to HE, or just those running F2, G1 and G7.

Any chance we can run the Nexus 5 on verizon?

Just wondering if it is even possible.

Not really. Might be feasible to spoof the activation from a previously enabled Verizon phone but I don't think anyone's even started working on that, and THAT would be an ugly workaround.

Would it be possible now that they release the update for the Nexus 7?, I'm guessing somebody could pull it apart and figure what makes that update so special

No still not because version's VOICE network is CDMA and if they don't have your ESN in their database you can't connect. Simple as that.

The methods of doing that is similar to those of flashing Sprint phone to boost mobile. But I think it's illegal and can't be discused in xda as it requires modifing imei/esn.

no, it has nothing to do with that.
verizon keeps a list of all the allowed ESN/IMEI numbers and will not let a number on their network that is not in their list.

I think he meant modifying the esn to match one in their database, which would be illegal. This thread should be closed.

I've seen some photos and heard some rumors that Verison will be carrying an official branded Nexus7 (boy, do I mean branded) sometime this year. Hopefully the 5 will follow

Phone rings once and then auto rejects?? (Intermittent)

Hey there,
Not sure if anyone else is having this problem or not:
My Nexus 5 will occasionally ring once, then auto reject the call. I am not sure what is going on with it.
Anyone else having this issue?
I thought it may be Google Voice causing the issue, but I disabled it, and it still is doing it.
Thank you for your continued help.

Mine has sort of done this, but it only rang for a split second before the call was rejected. This happened several times very rapidly, had to power off the phone to get it to stop. Hasn't done it since though.

Thanks. Wirefly (who I bought the phone from) says they will replace it (with their device protection insurance thing) but I want to see if I can troubleshoot it first.
Thank you so much for your response!

Mine does this also. When it happens I cannot make a call either. The phone will ring the person I'm calling for half a second then hang up. A reboot solves it but it's irritating.

There's your answer. Time to get off the POS Sprint Network. My guess is you're in a crappy signal area at the time this is happening.

Triband Nexus 5

Can someone please clarify something for me? I just got off the phone with a Sprint associate who was really rude. I have a Nexus 5 that will not receive phone calls when LTE is enabled. When 3G is enabled I get calls just fine.Is it because of this?
http://www.pocketables.com/2014/01/heres-triband-lte-sprint-phone-wont-connect-lte.html
Will enabling the other bands on my phone (after getting my MSL) allow me to do this. I believe Sprint Spark is available where I am (Kalamazoo MI).
I have rooted and flashed Calkulin's CM11 ROM....I can't remember if I had this problem before I rooted since I only get 3G coverage most of the time in my home.
Thanks for any insight....I hope I explained my problem correctly.

Isn't there a thread in general to get sprint working on custom roms? Did you do your search on general too, or did you only search q&a?
When searching, definitely search twice (in both q&a AND general) as guides to fix things are often in general

TS--Just returned from the Sprint Store at their HQ. According to the guy helping me, the N5 hasn't received the Spark update yet. It will, but hasn't happened yet. Even in the store, the demo wasn't on Spark. Right next to it, the LG G2 was on Spark and rocking 40+ Mb/s.

1) Yes N5 hasn't got official spark update, but getting the .15 radio I've heard forces it to love band 41 by default if it picks it up over band 25 and you enable the bands, but it's not a for-sure thing and seems to be hit or miss.
2) It probably was an eHRPD issue you ran into.
3) Patience.

Glad to hear that the PRL update fixed the issue. Just so you are aware, when you are on a phone call, your LTE data will not work.
