Re: Update coming to HTC evo 4g lte
Under new JB for EVO 4G LTE, WiFi has given me some trouble.
I rebooted my DSL modem & router. The WiFi in the home is working fine on my laptop (Win 7) and Google Nexus 7 tabled (Android 4.2). There's nothing wrong with my WiFi network.
As soon as my phone got JB, it wouldn't route with WiFi on.
With Moble Network OFF, Airave OFF, WiFi ON after rebooting modem and router it still didn't work. No page routing, even though status says I'm connected to WiFi.
Then I did yet another hard reboot of phone... and now it's routing on either WiFi band.
SPEEDTEST.NET results
Mobile Network OFF, Airave OFF, WiFi ON 5 GHz band
PING 30 ms, DL 4629 kbps, UP 1668 kbps
Mobile Network OFF, Airave OFF, WiFi ON 2.4 GHz band
PING 34 ms, DL 4834 kbps, UP 1542 kbps
All good now. So I guess the third hard reboot of the phone is what fixed the WiFi?
Also the "SYNCing" circular arrows icon persists in my top status bar on the EVO. I have AutoSyncing turned OFF and turned off individually in all apps and accounts except for weather, I think....but that icon has been stuck there in the status bar since the JB update....and phone has been laggy at times...swiping from one home screen to next was delayed...so there are background operations going on post-update that are using some resources at times. At the moment the screen navigation is back to normal.
I'll test the internet routing without WiFi next...with and without Airave.
UPDATE, results:
Mobile Network ON CDMA/LTE (I'm in 3G), Airave OFF (0 to 2 bars of service, which sometimes roams at home), WiFi OFF
PING 206 ms, DL 0260 kbps, UP 0112 kbps
So really slow on 3G without Airave, but that was the same before JB update
Hard re-booted phone again on top of newly restarted Airave, then
Mobile Network ON CDMA/LTE (I'm in 3G), Airave ON (full bars), WiFi OFF
PING 169 ms, DL 2144 kbps, UP 712 kbps
So it's OK on Airave, with WiFi off. Seems fixed.
