Hello guys.
How is you WiFi reception using ICS or JB (stock | custom)?
I ve noticed that with ICS stock my WiFi reception above 30m (dist x) is very poor or none (AP is behind house wall, no obstacles).
With HC3.2 on 30-35m (dist X+) i had valid and working WiFi reception (AP on same place, same conditions more less).
On same spot (dist X+) my laptop receives healthy WiFi signal.
So i ve come to conclusion that ICS rom does not handle WiFi capabilities of our GTab as good as HC did.
Your meaningful comments and suggestions are very welcome.
Cheers,

So i only have this issue or not?
Problem solved after formatting/wipe data, system and dalvik and flashing JellyBeanRom ICS v6 via CWM 5.8.3.1.
At same dist X+ spot i have now ~25% signal strength!

I was wondering if there is any way to increase the wifi range for the vibrant? I think that wifi rang is horrible!!! My dads 2g Iphone has an infinite better wifi range than this device.
Also, I have very inconsistent data connection. For instance, I am trying to load a webpage and I can see that the phone is trying to upload but doesn't download for a while. My data speed is great so its really annoying that my connection just freezes.
This has been true for all the roms that I have tried from the stock one to the latest obsidian froyo one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I find the wifi range to be about average. It's much better than my iPod touch.
Try flashing a different modem like the ji6. You can find them at team whiskeys website.
Hey everyone. I'm a recent Fascinate convert coming from a Droid X and CM7.
I've got CM7 on my Fascinate and am using the Glitchv13 kernel. Absolutely love the performance and battery life, however my modem/baseband seems to be a bit sketchy at times.
I'm wondering what your opinions are on the best modem for the Fascinate at this time. I'm currently using the EH03 modem.
I need reliable phone, text and data connectivity. I don't care so much about speed so much as I just need my data connection to stay up as much as possible. I've had several data dropouts on the EH03 modem already, some fix themselves while other require the airplane mode toggle or a reboot in the extreme cases.
Thanks!
I have not had any such issues with EH03... It has been rock solid.
Each person can have different results with a different modem. But as for me, I have to say EH03 has been more stable than all the others I have tried.
ec09 is the most stable withthe least amount of 1x switching. The problem is no matter what modem you have, on mtd based roms data dropping is a known issue in low signal areas. Luckily for me it was never a issue, other than having to toggle airplane mode occasionally.
Thanks for the replies, everyone.
I ended up rolling back to EC09. It seems to be more stable for me (data being solid for almost a full day now where it was dropping every few hours before).
I'm generally not in low signal areas and just about never use Wi-Fi. We have 3G everywhere so I'm not sure why I was having such awful luck with EH03.
Hopefully it keeps running smoothly. *knock on wood*
ec09 has been the most stable for me. consistent speeds and stability.
eh03 gave me lower ping times but the speed was to slow.
ed05 seems to be all over the place.
I've never switched from EC01 since it dropped (yes, before original official Froyo).
Never got caught in the missed calls stuff or anything.
I had missed calls every day with every radio I flashed until EH03. On my phone, in my service area, EH03 has been the most reliable by far!
Yeah for me its EH03 but its also the slowest of the three, but it's easily the most reliable too so I stick with it

In my expierences, Miui does not have any data drop out issues. It only seems to happen in CM7 and VGB.
I don't remember exactly when it started, but the last month or so my WiFi signal strength had been a lot weaker on my phone. I want to say it started when I started using ASOP roms, but even back in a sense Rom now, I can't hold a signal even one room away. It's not my router because other phones/laptops still get a good signal.
Any ideas on potential fixes to improve signal strength? I'm s-off and on Ineff Deus 1.2 at the moment. Tried different kernels with the same results.
Not much I can say, I get better wifi reception on CM9. Holds out way more than it did on senseless ROMs.
Wipe and reflash?
Already clean flashed a couple roms. Doesn't help. Now I'm just on LTE all the time, so not a huge issue, but of course battery drain is much higher.
Did you recently replace the battery cover or have it off a lot ? The contacts could be funky for the antenna..

hi!
first of all i dont know if this is a s2, cm10.1 oder generell jb issue, got this problem on cm10 and cm9 as well.
following setup:
vdsl50, fritzbox 7390 running latest fw, wpa2 encryption, located in basement.
s2, running cm10.1 12.12.2012, baseband/modem I9100XXLQ6,no custom kernel(cm kernel)
(as refference) zte blade,running cm7, android 2.3.7
ground floor,when i enable wifi on s2 everything is fine, it connects with 65mbit/s and says good/excellent signal strength (wifi analyzer ~ -56dbm), after about 1-2 minutes it drops down to 5mbit/s ,however no connection drops.
i tryed same with my old zte blade, just for testing purpose and it connects fine with 54mbit/s and stays there, no drops at all.wifi analyzer shows same signal strength as on the s2.
i already tryed wep/no encryption on wifi ap, changed channel, switching 2,4ghz vs 5ghz.even when i'm just 1m away from the ap, no wall between it has excellent signal strength but still drops to 5mbit/s after 1 minute.
i also tryed several modems ( KH3, LQ6, LQ5, LS6) and matching RILs using GetRIL, nothing worked
i cant believe blade is performing that good in comparison to the s2...
anyone got a similar problem?i think its software related bei i don't know how it can be fixed
thx guys for your help
Your expecting stable WiFi connection on a pre alpha rom, on a device whose manufactures refuse to release the source code for the phone???
no i'm aware cm10.1 is in early alpha stage but got this issue on cm10, cm9, stock 4.0.4 und leaked jb stock as well so i guess its not caused by cm10.1
I have recently resurrect my htc flyer from a soft brick and flash a custom rom . But when i was in custom rom my wifi signal was ridiculous low and i have to be right next to the router.Then i flash the stock one but the problem is still there... i made all kinds of wipes/formatting but no increase in signal for me.
Any suggestions ?
