Improve Wi-Fi signal

Hi guys!
Excuse me before if my english is bad but I'm an italian teenager!
That's it: my Xperia Arc has a little problem.
When I'm a little away from mi access point, my Arc get a Wifi connection (limitated connectivity) and I can't use my Wifi connection.
Why can i improve my wifi range from my arc? With and iPhone and a Nokia N95 this problem didn't happen.
It's so important. I tried to follow lots o tips in androidforumdotcom but the problem still continue to afflict my phone.
PS: with the cyanogen mod did this problem disappear or?
Tnx to everyone.

Is your phone up to date?

2.3.4 is the latest so run SEUS, PCC or the Flashtool and see if the update helps.

The device is updated. In Italy the update is not out yet!

Go to PC, open browser and go 192.168.1.1.
Or look you wifi router manual...because you need username and password to log in router settings.

[Q] Unable to set APN after flashing cm7

Unable to set or change the APN after flashing cm7. The list shows up blank and while I do get a signal and can make calls I cannot use cell data. I did the process from scratch twice and even flashed down to .368 which did not help. I saw a guy using Telia with the same issue on CM forums. I use AT&T with LT15a, bootloader remote unlocked to preserve DRM keys.

It seems like a known issue for few people. Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102523

No you cannot manually set the APN. The problem has been acknowledged and fixed.
Fixed build is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18361893&postcount=1393

Hi,
this build does not work for me.
I´am the last with this bug?
I tried these builds
- update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaArc-LT15i-SELFKANG-RILTEST-signed
- update-cm-7.1.0.1-XperiaArc-LT15i-signed
- update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaArc-LT15i-KANG-signed.
Always the same with data connection.
My provider is t-mobile.de.
My sim-card is realy old, i think 10 years. Is this the reason?
regards haudegen

Yeah actually a sim that old will never work with 3g. I learned this on T-Mobile in the US. From what I understand there is a 3g component in the newer Sims. Just get a new card.

A new card solved the problem.

Tethering?

Why does my phone think it's being tethered? My Arc S is rooted on .42 Gingerbread firmware, stock UK ROM, deleted a few files/apps, and those are about the only changes I've made.
But recently when I use the 3G on my phone (not wireless, but data) after a while it diverts to my service carrier's page about tethering and how it is not allowed on my plan (which is true).
I phoned up my carrier thinking it must be a problem on their end, the guy told me it to try my simcard in another phone and see if the same thing happens- It didn't, I was able to browse with no problems at all. Put the sim back into my Arc S, and after about 30 seconds of browsing I get diverted again. He told me it may be a problem with my phone and I should factory reset.
Obviously I don't want to do that as I will lose root plus ROM plus all my customisation (Supercharger, Go Launcher etc) so what could be causing the problem? I've been using it fine for a long time and then this happens....

In dolphin browser go to parameter and check if user agent is android (it should not be desktop)

If it was a problem with the firmware wouldnt the problem have appeared straight away, rather than after a few weeks?

Porting issues

Ok so I got permission to port 2 ics Roms they both load. And work my texts send and receive no problem I have no 3G data. Also, my phone apk when I try to call or or receive calls will force close severely it will either quit eventually or I have to reboot my phone to stop it any ideas on how to fix these errors. I I'm trying to port from the Xperia R800i to the R800x
Sent from my Play using xda premium

Why are you trying to port ics to R800x? They are already compatible. Try flashing just the baseband from 2.3.4 R800x firmware on flashtool. And see if you get service then on your ics.

I have service just not the 3G data part and the phone force closes so I can't make calls
Sent from my Play using xda premium

I already have ics on my phone now I just want to try other roms

I'm rooted with Locked Bl, I have no intention of unlocking it, And I agree it keeps cutting out and I'm going crazy. I'm at home 98% of the time, so I'm connected to Wi-Fi. Definitely the most annoying thing when it keeps disconnecting.

I've used this"Cross Bread" thing, and it hasn't changed much. The cut out happens less, but still happens.

Copying wifi modules from another ROM doesn't require you to unlock your bootloader. Just download a zip from a firmware that used to have better for you, extract the modules (he already said where to find them) and copy them to your phone (you need to be rooted, but that's not unlocking and completely reversable, just remove superuser if you don't want to be rooted anymore).
