I think I have narrowed down my (the?) wifi disconnection problem. After lots of tries with fw path, wifi supplicant, kernel etc etc changes without success, I am quite sure that it is caused by my wlan router settings. My wlan has combined 2.4 and 5 GHz signal and it seems that as soon as one the connection or the speed is going down, device disconnects and reconnects to the than stronger signal. After setting up 2 different wlans (one 2.4 and a separate 5GHz) and connecting to the one or the other, the problems seems to be gone. I remembered that in some rom versions there had been the possibility of choosing the preferred network frequency in wifi advanced settings, but in pie it seems to be missing. I already included: dual_band_support in overlay, but I cannot find the setting either. Do I need to add some other commits to get the settings possibility available in wifi advanced settings? Every help is very appreciated :-) `

@rodman01 First,great job tracking this down! This makes a lot of sense. It explains why some have this issue while others don't. It also explains why I don't have this issue as I'm using a very old router that is not very good and almost certainly only has the 2.4 frequency. Sadly I have no clue about how to get a selectable frequency within settings. It seems like this should def be possible. I will try to look into this when I have some time. Hopefully we can figure this out.

I found a commit to "Add frequency band control in UI" and included already the additionals in the xmls and it is available in wifi advanced settings and gives no error. But its currently doing nothing sure :-) what is difficult to do for me is to add the changes in the relevant java file. The wifi AdvancedSettings.java is not available anymore in pie. I would guess the changes needs to be inluded in configurewifisettings.java. I have tried it but it couldn't be done via copy and paste and my effort leads into building errors. Can anyone assist me? Thanks in advance.

@rodman01 Hey apologies for the rather late response,but I am away from home for the next week or so...I would think perhaps that this commit could be adjusted and added to the WifiSettings.java file or as you said the ConfigureWifiSettings.java within settings. However,my java skills are rather limited sadly so I'm not sure how much help I would actually be. I will gladly try whenever I am home and find some time though. It would be a bit of trial and error for me to figure it out.

@rodman01 I didn't forget about trying to get the frequency selection to be switchable in settings. I actually messed with it a bit about a week ago,but sadly had no luck. I was hoping to find some more time to mess with it,but so far I haven't been able to make any. Hopefully soon. Although I think I may lack the needed skill to get this ported over to Pie.

@Spookcity don‘t worry it would be only an addon and a special thing and nice to have :-) I have also treid and messed around a bit but ended only in build errors. I guess the easiest would be to create an own advanced settings java file. But my knowledge is limited so I can only do it with advanced try and error :-) Currently i am in holiday maybe after next weekend when I am home again I start a new „action“ :-)

Spookcity commented 5 years ago

@rodman01 I agree. It would be a nice feature to have though. If I am able to find some time I will try to mess with it some more as well. Enjoy your holiday!

Hi @Spookcity happy new year 2020. I'd like to, once again, kindly ask if you would mind to try another XenonHD build because the last one is now one year old. Otherwise I'd be happy to hear suggestions what I should try as an alternative.

Spookcity commented 4 years ago

Hey,Happy New Year to you as well @fionnb! I hope all is good.

Well,my time is super limited lately.Plus,I have recently bought a new device. This does not mean I'm done with the mini though. It's all about time really. I don't remember,but was it XenonHD Oreo or pie? I think I have issues building Oreo ROMS due to jack issues that I was unable to sort out last I tried,but I don't remember. I can try again and download the sources. I can say that almost certainly the security patches are going to be way behind on this ROM as it seems that most custom ROMS,aside from LOS have not updated their security patches in forever. I will give it a look when I find some time though.
