Root Wifi Dropout Problem Persists: Someone, Please Help!

It looks like my wifi problems are over too.

I don't know what did it but on Friday I flashed the Vorks kernel and the leaked drivers + RIL as well as switching the channel on the router again.

At the time, the problem remained but since yesterday I haven't had a single dropped connection.

If I knew what solved it I'd thank the appropriate person but I don't so I'll I have to offer a group cheers to everyone. Cheers!

Given that you are now the third person to try the Vork Kernal, I think we can safely say it is the fix. When fixing problems by the way, you should always do it progressively. E.g. I tried rom > static ip > wifi sleep policy > radio > ril & drivers > wifi security > wifi channel > ManU kernal > Vorks Kernal.

By doing it in stages, you can identify the problem and the solution much more easily :)

Also, seeing as this has been quite successful I think i'll email the dev's of cm7, gv, oxygen etc as I see lot's with this problem over at xda with no fix.

Again, thanks to everyone for their support and help.

As you brought it up, you are allowed to give multiple thanks .

^^Done.

I also wanted to add that my battery life has become excellent. 70% still available after 24 hours. Admittedly my usage was much lighter than usual - 25 mins of calls, a few texts, not touching it otherwise (full brightness though) - but I've never been able to avoid charging it overnight before.
