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?
Oz.
I'je just unpacked my desire yesterday.
When i am straight "connected" to the AP, i have full wifi
20cm makes it to ok
1 meter makes it to poor
next room no Wifi
My Hero has good Wifi even next floor and poor outside the building
How can I improve that?
I have pretty much the same problem, very poor wifi access unless I am sat next to my router.
considering adding another wifi router to my home network to solve this issue
I got the opposite ... My HTC Desire has very good wifi access.
Even when I am in my bed room at 1st floor where it can only got 1-2 wifi signal, it is still damn fast. Also no problem in the 2nd floor although the signal indicater is just 1.
The wifi router is located in the ground floor.
When I used my old HTC Kaiser, there is no way I can access wifi from there.
Now, I got wifi all over
So, I think, it could be the way you configure your wifi router. Here are some pointers:
- Set to "g" ONLY
- Set to use non-crowded wifi channel
I set my wifi channel to 6, which it is not being used by neighbors wifis.
There is also an application in the market called "Wifi Analyzer":
http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.farproc.wifi.analyzer/
It is free and it is damn good for showing your wifi signal strength and channels etc.
Install that and let us know your situation.
Installed WifiAnalyzer
In my office building (which has plenty WiFis) i only sometimes see our Wifi which as a 7dBI antenna. but this shows with "half -90dbm"
our Linksys Wag160N has -40 when Desire touches the AP and -60 when 1 meter away
How can I set "g only" on my desire?
HTC sais I have to
- have a small distance between AP and Desire
- Check the "angle and how I have it in my hands" between AP and Desire
-enable WiFi
--> I gonna change the phone
The "g" only is setting in your wifi router, not desire.
I am now in the attic and my wifi signal is not that good.
When the signal is -90, I got about 500 kbps (using SpeedTest app), not quite usable, sometimes the connection was dropped.
When the signal is -80, I got about 2000 kbps ... usable
Those are examples on the worst condition at my place and my HTC Desire.

I've had my phone conected to my WiFi while I was in my car on the drive which is 15 metres away.
yep same prob here if in same room of router sinal fine, if i move out of the room and about meters away then i almost loose it will try the HD, but im sure it was the SPV m3100 i could get my wifi out in my street,
Why is the desire wifi so poor ??
its a great phone, but it seems to be going from Desire to Dire
i went to the shop where I bouhgt the desire and they were changing it.
Now I have good WiFi again
The Wifi signal is fantastic, its stronger and faster than any of my other devices connected to my Netgear DG834g (custom)
@pickie, it sounds like you need to replace ur handset
Wifi connection loss an reconect
Hi there,
i have also a problem with my wifi connection. The connection to the router works fine, but every 3 or 6 seconds the connection is lost and the phone reconnects. One to 4 pings to my HTC Desire are lost, then 7 to 10 pings work fine, and again some pings ar lost. Its somhow a bouncing conanection.
I´ve testet the app wifi analyzer and i can´t see any problem - connection strength is around -36 to -40 dbm, so what could it be?
I am using a Zyxel nbg460n, the connection to my notebook just works fine...
I hope, anyone has any idea

Same here for everything you said. -60dBm on 2nd floor right now with router on ground about 90m away. The reason why I predominately use WiFi.

This guy fixed his wifi issue by changing the router channel:

More in general, but I boosted signal quality by switching back to b instead of g.

Yes, i noticed that switching channels improves my pings... but just for a while and just for this time - next day i have the same problem again. switching the channel while my phone is connected helps a bit though - but i guess this can only be a workaround than the solution.
and it does not matter if my phone is in my hand or just lays on the table and the distance to my router doesn´t matter.

I have solved my wifi problems by changing the software on router. Went from pfsense to openwrt, and everything works now.
HTC Desire can only connects "G" instead of "H".. a problem with device?
Since the last few days, my Htc desire can only connects on GPRS aka "G" connections, can't no longer on "H" HSDPA 3G..
I thought this was the cell provider connection issue but, when I put my HTC HD2 next to it using exact same cell provider, the HD2 can still connect on "H" HSDPA..
I made sure the option of "connect thru GSM/WCDMA" is ticked, so my htc desire is set to connect not just gsm.
would this be a device problem on the Desire?
Cheers
I am seeing weird stuff with my desire as well. At first, when I got a data bundle woth Jimmobile (Belgium) I could only connect to the EDGE network. I didn't think much of it, because I thought that was a provider limitation. Then I just checked the use only WCDMA and it connected using HSDPA. I was surprised because when I switched it back to automatic, it chooses EDGE. I had this for a week or two. And now it suddenly grabs HSDPA all of a sudden and almost all the time.. I have decided to just roll with it. It doesn't make sense to me.. I doubt it will at any time.

Thanks for your input.. yes indeed.. weird..
Not sure if removing the battery and let the device off for a while then put the battery back n switch the device on will resolve the problem, but I will try that..
This weirdness, a nuisance coz Gprs is slow
Maybe take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656192
You might find something useful.
My problem is that I'm almost nowhere getting any quality 3G/H signal, especially in buildings, where my old N73 got full bar 3G. I'm working on Gprs or Edge if lucky with the Desire. Very, Very disappointing to say at least. This has nothing to do with Wifi here.
Dont compare the "bars" ... they are just UI/graphics.
Check the speed and reliability.
What I noted ... when you activate mobile data (from OFF to ON), it will take some times (like 30 - 60 seconds) to connect. This may vary on different mobile operators.

My Desire can connect to H without any problem.
Perhaps wonky batch?
It can connect, when the signal is strong enough, like on the open. But thats way worse what my other Nokia 5230 can do with the same signal strength. It connects in the deepest and darkest hole.

I set it to WCDMA only. It got 3G 0-1 bar. No data transfer and some seconds later it showed a big fat X.

I don't know if there are more of you having problems with 3g and hsdpa after flashing the new radio update.
My connection type only accepts gprs after the flash. When i dial *#*#INFO#*#* and choose information and tap the ping test, i can only see that gprs is connected.
With the older radio's i always had a hsdpa connection.
This is the radio i'm using: 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Roms are different roms with the same issue:
-Defrost 2.0a
-DJDroid v1.0r1
-Adams OpenDesire 1.5 and 1.6 prerelease.
All roms in combination with this radio are causing problems with my 3g connection.
Maybe if you specify the ROM and the Radio versions you are using, someone can help you....

dutch Hi / KPN... no difference at all.. 3g works fine, speedtest still showing 950kbps
Open desire 1.5, h3g data connection is HSDPA, with latest radio.
Well i only see the gprs icon, no 3g or hsdpa here. Speedtests give me 0.01mbit down and 0.02mbit upload speeds.
I just found 2 more simcards.
1 kpn
2 t-mobile
both the same thing, no more than 0.02 mbit up and down. . .
Maybe i have to try flashing a older radio back.

No problem with the radio (got 3.4 mbgit this morning), and I'm on dutch vodafone.
Ok, so maybe my phone is just broken....

Maybe vodafone 3G broadcast thingie (dunno) is broken in your area?
Yeah mine dropped to 2G All the time so I flash the Android 2.2 HTC sense Rom and pushed it to wcdma only. Works, I think it's an issue with the radio for T-Mobile UK customers

No because he tried kpn and T-mobile as well.
I've always had 3G issues on mine regardless of radio so I'm putting it down to being orange. New radio for me seems better tho, I get H alot more so things work fine!
Maybe the flash didn't take...
I flashed Dj Droid 1.0 r1 today with new radio and ive not shown Hdspa since. I did a speed test and it showed 1.9 - 2Mb, which is good for where i am. I did the ping test and it came back saying Hdspa so i think with me its just the icon thats not changing.
2.2 unless patched will only display 3G icon for both 3G and H. I doubt HTC have put that patch in...
And found another vodafone card (vodafone dongle)
Lets try
I have the same problem with H only getting 3g signal, since I started using 32... radio. So its defiantly not network related.
Ok tested my vodafone dongle, and same issue (from laptop), so there must be something wrong with the vodafone network.

I have same problem with last radio with ROM Six O'clock AM, Open Desire, AOSP, DjRoid and AOSPDesire_1.2.2.
It's a bit strange, normally when i am in the living room a always had 3g or hsdpa. Now i only have gprs until i go upstairs, when i'm at the top floor it shows me the hsdpa icon, and a speed test of +/- 1.5/2Mbit down and up.
So there changed something. Maybe Vodafone messed up their signal or there's something different with the new radio. . .
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
