The ROMs from @siraltus & GreezePop from @bdorr1105 now includes this fix...
Since buying my LG-H901 in mid November I have been plagued by slow and/or intermittent WiFi connection at home and anyplace else I've connected to WiFi even though my WiFi displays full connection most times. Nothing I've done seemed to fix it until now. I got tired of waiting on an update that may never come. So after many attempts I finally came across something that works, and quite well I might add. My WiFi is much faster, without any loss in connectivity.
For this you will need root access, to edit your files in system, and a root browser, capable of editing said files. I use the root browser in Rom Toolbox Pro.
Okay, you will need to go to system/ect/wifi...
Open WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini with a text editor
Under "listen energy detect mode" configuration...
Change BandCapability=0 to 7
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And under WOW Enable/Disable
Change gEnableWoW= to 3 and remove the # sign in front of the line...
LINE SHOULD READ "gEnableWoW=3" without the ""
Save and reboot
You can also add this to your build.prop for some net speed, connectivity, and WiFi Tweaks... No loss of battery life or any other ill effects on the phone. Just copy and paste the following to the end of your build prop in system with a root browser...

This worked like a damn charm. Great find my friend! Funny how it even lists the default values in the comments. Why these were changed... Who knows? And genablewow was even commented out, so I had to remove the # sign.

I just had a problem, really my only complaint about this phone, so I started digging and finally found a solution... I had to share cause I knew some others were having issues as well. I just got lucky I guess, considering I dug though numerous folders related to the WiFi to find this. And after numerous fails, I knew as soon as I booted this one up and my WiFi was flying this was it, so I tested for a day, and a friend tested it as well with the same results, I knew that I could share it. So if it helps just you, it was worth the effort to look into it. Again, thank you for the donation, and it was my pleasure to be able to help out. Have a wonderful day.

Whenever you see a # symbol before a setting like this it means it has been" commented" out. So it's like the setting or command doesn't exist in the text file. That's why all the lines of explanations and descriptions have a # symbol in front of them, so the OS doesn't see them and think they are commands.
This is fantastic. Have not been able to test because I am at work. Will test later. I have a question. Can we enable both network and wifi at the same time for faster downloads and stream?

Thanks for this! Can't wait to try it when I get home. Have you found that this fixes the issue (also common on G4s) where WiFi drops out every now and then but will come back if you view the list of available networks? This only happens at my work but it's annoying beyond belief.
Well, well. When i get this device next week, i will have to try this Z... Nice work. Good to be back on tmo

yeah it's a widespread known issue.
After swapping out a NS4G with issues my new one is a champ. Pulling in better speeds than the first one and is at least on par with the EVO for me.
Everyone loves dual core and all, but when I'm eatin Ice Cream and others are still waiting for cookies I'll be a happy guy.

Again Fixxer enough is enough man. Not everyone suffers the issues, none of us know why, but that is how it is. Stop bashing Samsung, and stop overtaking topics at every single forum you possibly can. Just drop it.. You have been flooding Android Central, Sprint community and this. You are bashing Samsung with incorrect info, and then bashing Google. You obviously don't know..

Not every phone has the issue. Since I went from about 20-50kbps on the old one to 450-1100kbps (3G) on the new one.......I'm pretty confident in my claim.
Pulled down 13Mbps on 4G today as well. I'm also seeing steady wifi signal readings vs the first one which was all over the place.
Nice try, though.
Those numbers using multiple speedtests and Speakeasy.net and also in the same house and at work.
Same reason my phone is fine sir.

All it takes is one ignorant person to make people believe something. Despite what basically one person advocates, reception and data speeds are NOT horrible. Sprint employees will tell u anything. If anything....it's the network itself not the phone.

It's showing you have no bars for 4G? So i'm guessing the signal you have to the 4G tower is weak. Try getting closer, and post results. Just as Wi-Fi, Wimax will lower speeds as signal lowers. Wi-Fi runs at 2.4ghz and Wimax is at 2.5ghz, and both of those will suffer when your losing decibels and RSSI to that signal.

Umm no he wasn't lied to.. Sprint is getting direct information from Google and Samsung. As in the topic posted below showing a Google employee helping with the issue, and now listing it later on it that topic as reported to the dev team and that they are working on a fix. Sprint has never once released any sort of press release on any device concerning issues. Sure didn't with all the EVO problems.

Hey everyone
just switched from HTCs sprint evo to Verizon droid charge. Was wondering, what happened to gif animations? My evo did this flawlessly. I can't see how my phone can render movies, games, hack other computers, change the channel on the tv, etc. But can't animate a gif in the browser?
If anyone can tell me a tweak or a Rom that does this, im all ears.
Also, could someone manage to get a still of the boot animation to use as wallpaper?
Thanks in advance! .
Have you tried a different browser?
I'm using opera mobile and I can view gifs just fine.
Dolphin works fine.
Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyFroyo 1.9.1
It works on FireFox.

different browser is your best bet for online .gifs, I use quickpic in place of the stock gallery and it has no trouble playing saved ones... as for the boot animation as a live wallpaper it hasn't been done yet, doesn't mean it can't be its just that its hard to take samsung's special .qmg file and make it into anything usable
Thanks for the replies. Firefox is working fine. Was hoping to get gif animations, user agent options, and flash all in the same browser. I guess i was spoiled with my EVO.

Thanks for the input on the boot animation. You mentioned the live wallpaper. How about just a still of it? Id probably be happy with someone taking a picture of it and photocopying it into something presentable.

its still hard to do as it can't be screenshot (unless you mean taking a pic of the phone screen with another phone/camera which may work but won't be too high quality I think) and can't be made into any kind of usable .gif or video due to the retarded proprietary .qmg animation file... I bet a dev or someone with more android knowledge may be able to do something with it but no luck so far, even the mighty google has failed in turning up anything usable lol

i researched further: .qmg files are proprietary to samsung and cannot be opened, edited, or played unless you work for samsung and have access to the source used to make the .qmg... this means our only options are to screenshot it to get either a picture or a video, but as I said it will not be too high quality
edit: no luck trying to get a picture with a camera, it just looks like crap... I can only think of two options, maybe finding a high quality video of it online and using that to make something or possibly connecting it to an HDTV and maybe getting a screen cap that way

How about this?
Does anyone know how to get the Wifi calling App to work on Ravers New ROM.
I installed the Zip that was was posted by Asianboy (sorry if I have your name wrong) and it still does not work.
When I go into the app it says enabling and the switch to activate it is greyed out and cannot select it, then after a few seconds it closes. when I go to setting it only let's me choose Wifi settings and the one time I was able to get into ping network it had invalid listed as address.
The app is very handy in NYC because a lot of building have weak TMOBILE signal but have Wifi available.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Give up on it or flash rc3.1 or wait for Raver's next update.
Or do this...
1) Go to /system/build.prop and open using Super Manager or some similar file manager with ROOT permissions.
2) Go to the very BOTTOM of the prop, and add this:

Yeah... give up on it or flash rc3.1 or wait for Raver's next update.
Or if you are feeling ballsy try this...
1) Go to /system/build.prop and open using Super Manager or some similar file manager with ROOT permissions.
2) Go to the very BOTTOM of the prop, and add this:
## start GAN-Lite ##
rild.libpath=/system/lib/librilswitch.so
rilswitch.vendorlibpath=/system/lib/libsec-ril.so
rilswitch.ganlibpath=/system/lib/libganril.so

Let me know if it works. If I read correctly asianbobo15 said it worked.

You might make sure that you actually saved the build.prop. You need to make sure the /system folder is set to r/w.

Since I rely on Wifi Calling and have to have Raver's latest.. it was a tense evening last night while I tried to decide if I needed my phone to work or run the best rom. I'm so glad I didn't have to choose.

What I'm wondering is, how many people that are worried about the wi-fi calling realize that without an add-on to their phone plan wi-fi calling still uses minutes?
"Wi-Fi Calling is a free feature for T-Mobile customers with a Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Calling capable phone. Wi-Fi Calling is an excellent solution for coverage issues in and around the home or wherever cellular coverage is limited. Minutes used while connected to the Wi-Fi network count against available rate plan minutes unless the Free Wi-Fi calling feature is added to the rate plan. With the Free Wi-FI Calling feature, voice minutes are no longer decremented on calls over Wi-Fi."

Seems like a lot of people are using it because the cell coverage aroung their house sucks. It is Tmob after all. I'm sure some of them don't realize it uses minutes, but if it's your only option I can see why people want it back.

Tmobile wifi calling doesn't use your minutes anymore but you have to call in and request the change. I read back in August if last year about this change and call tmo..they switched me over and didn't pay extra.

There are a lot of dead zones around NY area and long island. I have unlimited minutes so it does not bother me if it takes from my minutes.
Also service in skyscrapers is hit or miss at times but there is a lot of wifi access.
But the best part is that when traveling out of country just connect to wifi and calling back home just uses my unlimited minutes and no roaming charges.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I also have unlimited minutes, but still use wifi calling in my condo because of the weak reception there. I've been staying away from all the new ROMs because I need to have wifi calling.
now, with this recent fix, it looks like I can finally upgrade to ICS!!!
Don't think the fix talked about in this thread is for ICS roms. Check the dates.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
LOL good catch haha. glad I decided to check back before doing anything.
So, you need a One XL that is rooted to do this. Pretty easy stuff.
Go to /system and mount it rw using your favorite method
Edit build.prop, probably line 8, "ro.ril.hsxpa=5" default is 4.
Reboot

After that test I didn't go below 3000 down. Previously this device in my area seemed to max out below 3000 but I've since tested well over 4000. See if it works for you!
Also, if you feel brave, try 6. I've found that a value of 6 gets me up around 5000 down, but the connection stability is somewhat compromised. I have 3 bars where I am at, and as always with radio stuff:
YMMV
what about lte
Dunno man, I live in the northwest. They claim lte will arrive by the end of this year, but who knows? Point is, I can't test it and certainly doubt this little trick does anything for lte... While you're in the coverage area anyway ;-)

Thanks for the feedback. I tried values higher than 6 and it ruins my HSPA. Not really sure why it would affect LTE, but I am definitely getting 6 megabits per second now over HSPA... Good to know it screws up LTE.
I'm on at&t and have hspa.
Much faster now!
Thanks!

So if i'm not in an LTE area anyway, no cons right?
Worked great. my speeds doubled after this

I noticed some of these mods [wifi fix (delete AT&T auto connect), debrand device] require a reboot to take effect; does the same ring true here? Should I reboot between changes of build.prop?

Apologies, my op was not comprehensive. Any build.prop change will require a reboot, this one included.

nice little tweak there. went from ~3000kbps to ~4000kbps. that's a free 33% bump!! Thanks.
I tested values of 4, 5, and 6. 3k @ 4, and 4k @ 5 and 6. So, no change from 5 to 6
This didn't do me any good at all.
ETA: The first three (at the bottom) are before the change, and the second three are after.

Gained 1mbps down(3.8), and slightly quicker upload(800kbps)

It is important that comparison tests happen as close together as possible from a time perspective, and that the phone is in the same exact location and same exact orientation. Tests become meaningless when time difference is significant or phone location/orientation is changed.
I have observed a repeatable variation between 2 and 5 Mbit just by changing phone orientation. Be sure it's laying on a desk or something so repeated tests can be as meaningful as possible!

You should make sure it's using the same server too... Mine tried to use a different server the second time even though I was in the same location. I think it used the cell tower to fin my location one time and my GPS the second time.

I had the same exact effect. My speeds actually suffered a bit in the same exact spot as prior to making the change. What I am interested in is the capability to turn LTE off so as to save battery life for those of us who live in HSPA areas only. I somehow doubt that is possible to do in a build.prop tweak though.
One other thing I noticed, prior to the change (from 4 to 5) my upload speed test was smoooth and right around the 1.1mbps upload speed. After I made the change to 5, my speed test would start spiked at ~2mbps, then freeze, then drop to 1.4 then freeze, then drop to 1.2 and so on. It wouldn't go any lower than 1.1 but it was super chunky feeling, like it was testing one block at a time very slowly. THIS could deeply impact using voip services such as Skype or Tango, especially when using video stream.
Would anyone be interested in having this? If there's support I'll write it up, but if not don't wanna waste my time...chime in if you think this would be a good tutorial.
Edit- i want to be sure to give credit on this to the original tmo upsell page that i can't seem to find now to link at the moment smh that's what made me investigate after reading reports in that thread that it no longer worked, but seems it does, the major difference- i think- being to specify another user agent, don't just strip it null, and I'm working on tweaking the setup because fiddler4 isn't handling the certificate requests quite right, which causes you to have to babysit it in the case of large downloads where the same http tunnel has to be opened for an extended period of time, so once i have the links out I'll post the planned "tutorial", and i think in the meantime i might just document my process on getting the glitches out of fiddler4- errr should i say, adjusting it's handling of such- for the sake of someone else who may be in my position and want to use a wireless connection for their ps4. In the UK tmo had signed agreements with Sony to make data available to people who purchase the system because Sony knows how important it is to have data access. No one wants to shell out 500+ bucks on a system and then find out that system could eat as much as 300gb of data in a month. Even how cable service in some places have caps in place and throttling- like if you're unfortunate enough to have hughesnet smh not that 1st person stuff is gonna run with 1500-2000ms ping time averages, but there are still games that aren't as ping intensive that'll work fine, and the large file downloads are much better than years ago, onboard routing on the birds has made lots of difference. It's still inherently ping challenged, but other than that it's really pretty good- but the usage caps are miserable, along with others who have dsl or other smaller regional providers, it can get excessive- buy 3 or 4 60 buck games in one month and see if updates alone don't cost ya 50gb+! So the idea, yes, is to swap out all the http headers on the fly so that not just browsers from a pc are able to spoof the packet header, but ALL traffic, irregardless of its' source- so even your ps4 or Xbox one- as long as you have a pc (I'm sure a mac could probably be used, but I'm using a win10 pc, so that's what I'm writing on) to put between the console/tv/pc/bluray player/you get it and your wireless device you can replace the header of every packet that passes thru and make tmo's systems see the connection as an android chrome device instead of, say, a PS4
More to come.........

Alrighty, well give me a bit to type it up with all the links etc...it requires you to connect your device to your pc via USB and enable the tether, then connect your ps4 directly to your pc with a crossover cable, bridge those two connections, run Fiddler4 on the pc with a few settings enabled that strip the user agent string from every http header and replace it. It's basically an update to the thread that already exists that explains how to do it using the old fiddler 2...but i guess people no longer were able to make it work for whatever reason, but i got the new fiddler 4 running great! I'm currently in excess of my 7gb of hotspot data by about 80gb and i hadn't been able to get the ps4 to download the black ops 3 update for like a week- Netflix would work on the ps4, but downloads from the notification page would get throttled and there wasn't any good way to get around it without getting rid of that user agent string. Vpn is too slow and/or expensive, so I'm thrilled i found this workaround still works with some updated software! i haven't been able to play black ops 3 multiplayer for over a week because i needed this 9gb update and couldn't download it! Smh lol but all is well! Fiddler handles it like a champ! Not the most convenient thing to have to connect everything with wires and put a laptop between the ps4 and the device, but it sure does work!

What kind of plan do you have with T-Mobile? I have only 1GB of data plan at the moment but if I tether anything over 1GB of data then I'll be throttled down to a very slow speed.

Well I've got to tell ya, it's been REALLY hit or miss, fiddler 4 WILL remove or replace your useragent string in the ip header but that's only getting you past the automated checking, but post analysis may still get you dinged depending on what exactly you're doing....
