XDA IIs, Weak Wifi signals - About xda-developers.com

Hello everybody ,
I am having a problem with my Wifi, I can connect, works okay too , but the signal bar shows that wifi signals are not very good (stays poor)
and it is also a bit slow,, where my other device, laptop shows very strong signals , at the same place XDA IIS. and its not just this spot, I have never seen good signal quality . at all .
I wonder if someone can help me here, Please, or is there anything I can do to get better signals.
thanking you for your time.

have u made sure that your wifi settings are at best performance and not best battery?

Hi Farbid,
thans for replying ,
Yes I have checked that , actually , having the performance on high or medium level doesnt really make any difference. i still get the same signal strength ...
Any other idea?
thank you .

old
well this is an old ageing problem, but the final verdict i got was that some people suggested that the scaling mechanism in the wifi setting itself is faulty....as a proof, if u have the latest 1.40 rom, which has a separate connections icon on the taskbar, and click on that icon while wifi is connected, u'll find that is shows full signal strength, meanwhile the other bar shows average.... weird.

AKU2 ROMS LOW WIFI SIGNAL

New AKU2 ROMS are faster than previous roms but after upgrade I notice that there is 20% lost of Wifi signal. I downgrade the roms to check and I got high wifi signal. On AKU2 even I place the exec next to the router I can get only 78 to 80 percent. Same things as on Wizard. I got a netgear 108mbps on auto b or g. Before updating my roms I got 100% all over the house now I move about 5 meters and the signal is 20%.
Anybody notice this? :?:
How can I improve the wifi signal? :shock:
try moving the slider in wifi settings to better performance
Thanks Ady, It works on my exec. Move the slider full on performance but no improvement on my wizard 66% next to the router.
Ditto!
You are correct. I notice the same drop in WIFI both at home, and at my local starbucks.
I also do notice an incompatibility with my 2 SIM --> 1 sim adaptor. I think it is a radio problem.
The thing is that I do not know who to address these problems to at Dopod.
Any Idea?

WiFi (I know, I know...)

...I searched.
I have a CID unlocked German 02 xda Orbit - I put the HTC 1.12.405.01 WWE ROM on it everything works perfect.
I did this right away before ever really messing with the phone.
So, my question is - why is the WiFi so slow on this phone. I can sit within a meter of my router and it will only show 2 bars on the signal indicator. Is there something I can do?
Thanks!
??
Hi.. i don´t know if it has something to do with your ROM, Byt my HTC P3300 works perfekt on WiFi

What channel is your router broadcasting on?
Try switching channels until you reached max signal strength.
Useually stongest channels are between 1 and 11
Changing channels wil change your frequency slightly and can remove interference.

[Q] Just a small question about signal quality display

Hello guys,
I´m a happy Desire owner since 2 weeks now and have a little question.
I noticed the following:
In areas with bad network coverage, signal shows (E)dge, or if it´s even mor bad it shows (G)PRS. That OK.
But in areas with good coverage it shows 3G (UMTS) all the time, and only if I transfer data, eg syncing email, it´s showing (H)SDPA, and switches back to 3G.
Is that normal?
I wonder as this is my first android device, and all my older WiMo phones where showing (H)SDPA all the time.
I´ve read else where, that often changing networks need a lot of battery power.
Oh, I´m using T-Mobile in germany with an unbraded Desire running 2.2.
I noticed this also with 2.1
Thank you!
Perhaps the question was´nt clear enough ... sorry.
I mean, I this the same at your phones, or do they show (H) all the time?
Thank you again!
Mine does this too.
If you want to lock to a single network type *#*#info#*#* in the dialer.
In the UK mine shows hsdpa most of the time, sometimes gprs when roaming. It does not show anything when on WiFi, just shows the bars. If you press from home screen the menu - settings - about phone - network, then you see the signal strength and type of signal .

Thats what I thought it should do ... so it seems my SIM is having a problem.
Yesterday I put a friend´s SIM in it (also using T-Mobile) and it shows H all the time and never 3G. If Network is bad it switches to E and then back to H.
Now I´ve ordered a new SIM, so lets see ...
OK my SIM is around 12 years now ... 1998 ...

[Q] Data connection problems

Hi,
I have some data connection problems since the first day i bought my DHD.
The phone reception signal bar are always changing even when i am not moving at all.
It can generally move from H to 3G a few times, then go to E and then G, in a few seconds.
it always moves, my internet connection is very slow.
It's as if the radio was always trying to renegociate the method of communication (GPRS, 3G, etc) with the operator's antenna
When i am in a phone call, i got disconnected sometimes or the sound stop during a few seconds (the time the radio switch from 3G/H to E/G i guess)
When i disable WCDMA from the settings i get a quite stable sound during my phones calls (maybe because the phone no more tries to negociate). But for Internet... it's just slow.
I tried a few ROMs, and their respectives radio rom (the one with the IRL branded in the ROM) i sometimes thought it was better but always it's still too unuseable.
I tried my SIM card in an iphone 3GS and i am usually in Edge (sometimes 3G) but when its 3G i can surf quickly during hours (if i don't move). This is not the case with the DHD.
btw i am on the french carrier SFR
If any of u had any clues i would really appreciate your help.
Thanks you
what rom are you using and what radio and ril................... now what radio are you on now
OP already stated he tried numerous ROMS and their cooresponding radios. Sounds like the signal is that degraded that any radio/ril combination will not help.
Thanks for your replies.
As said i tried many ones with their respective recommanded radio.
I am actually trying Radio_12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M with Android Revolution HD 4G_6.1.1 with no sense script.
Are there tests i could do to identify if its a hardware problem (like standing in front of an antenna and running some special tool maybe)
Btw, i also tried :
-RCMix3D_Runny_v1.3 but does work with internet pass through (wich is really important since i can't use internet from my phone carrier...)
-niarkMIUI-3.9.1
-LeeDrOiD_HD_V4.0.0-SE-3.0-BETA with Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2
-cm_ace_full-203 with my stock radio ROM
-virtuous_unity-v2.37.0 with i don't remember wich one...
P.S : i would be Glad to test any ROM / Radio combinaison you would suggest me.
Thanks by advance for your attention
if you tried all those roms and diffident radios seems like its more like a hardware or provider issue does it happen off different towers or maybe you can go to one of the stores and try the phone at the store with yours at the same time?
Thank for the advice indeed i need to try this.
Do you know what i need to revert back for the tech not to tell the waranty is over since i have flashed my phone ?
Does i need to reflash the recovery etc? is there some tutorial in this subject because if i go to the store with my custom rom i guess i won't get too much help :/
Don't even take out your phone, your going to say your just looking, don't show anyone your phone, they won't even know what to look for, just test your phone to the one at the store, make sure apn's match. But if you return your phone you'll need to ruu back to stock. You can search easy s-on

What happens if you manually select 3G only, or 2G only from the settings menu? Does it just lose signal, or stays strong?
Hi
If i select 3G only
I first get no reception (as if when switching from 2G to 3G the radio had to restart)
Then the 3G signal appear strong, decrease slowly in less than 30 seconds, and after all, it seems quite stable.
The bandwidth is good i am downloading fastly
(i am commenting in real time)
Still no deconnection.
I will try it during the whole day and tell how it is behaving.
umm during a few seconds, there were no indicator (no 3G or H), just 3 bars.
It then restarted in H with 1 bar (i am not moving at all)
What will happen if i have no 3G in my area ? I won't be able to receve a phone call ?
Thanks

If you force it to 3G only, and you move out of 3G area, then you should either get a no signal indicator, or if you have roaming enabled, you would get the roaming indicator. I'm curious now because as you said you aren't moving, and it's still changing. That shouldn't happen. Hmmm

WLAN Signal extemly low (1 bar @ hotspot )

Hello together!
I have a problem with my Desire
I'm using CM7 since months without troubles.
But from one night to the other my wlan signal is extremly low, i have one bar of signal strength directly at the hotspot (no problems with other mobile phones or notebooks etc)
After that i tried many things:
newest radio, newest CM7, a new middle case ... without success.
The GPS signal is good ...
I think the Bluetooth signal is also not so good, but i don't have a reference here.
So i hope anybody can help me here!
Thanks pmneo
but does your wifi work ok , i mean are u able to surf on ur phone with wifi ??
or do u have to sit near the hotspot for that ?
i can surf about 3-5 meters around the hotspot.
Before i got that problem i was able to surf everywhere in the house ...
Do you also have the problem with other hotspots?
If not it's a hotspot issue (change wifi channel or something), if so I would advice to test it with a standard rom to be sure.
If it's still bad with the standard rom after that it's probably the hardware of your phone.
Try with another hotspot. If problem remains, do a backup and hard reset, or you can even try a new rom.
I tried the hotspot @ work -> same problem
I tried some other roms -> same problem
I think the antenna is the problem ... does anybody nows where the antenna is located?
Thanks pmneo
