[Q] terrible quality with Wifi calling

I have zero service in my house so I was excited to upgrade to my G2 for its Wifi calling. I am running CyanogenMod 6.1.1 and cannot hold a conversation because the connection is absolutely terrible; the other person's voice would be choppy and I wouldn't be able to make sense of what they were saying. I have a wireless N router in my bedroom so signal strength is not the issue. Anyone have any ideas how I might remedy this? Thanks in advance!

Might be kernel related

wifi problem 2.3.3

Regards
I have a problem with wifi after I put update on 2.3.3
whether it can solve this problem with wifi.
I always shoot and it turns the wifi network.
be a good wifi network signal then disappears

Same problem here

This is a very serious problem. Get ur act together HTC, this is just unacceptable!

Are you rooted? HTC raised the signal strength at which the connection would be dropped, there is a fix if you are rooted, otheewise you are stucm and will have to wait for HTC to correct this.

Have you tried another radio? of course be careful if you do change it

same issue, though htc say that its a "new feature" to provide a seamless mobile broadband experience by automatically chosing the strongest signal. whatever you say htc
i just disable mobile data at home, so it cant jump back to 3g and stays on wifi. the annoying thing with this is that i forget to enable mobile data when leaving the house.
i hope they sort it out, and that this new feature isn't rolled out across their other products

I am having the same problem. At work, my wifi connection is weak, but was always functional. Now, I cannot connect to my work wifi. On top of that, my battery drains twice as fast on my phone, and I'm thinking that it's due to the phone always scanning and trying to connect to the wifi signal. If it's true that HTC changed the level at which the wifi signal is dropped, this was a terrible decision.

I think this may answer/point to the problem I'm having since installing the Gingerbread RUU. I use the quick settings app from the market and pre-gingerbread it used to switch between wi-fi/mobile pretty seemlessly, turning off the unused option. Now if there's no wi-fi connection that option seems to stay on (probably searching) while it's connected to mobile data. As above, my battery is draining like a sieve.

Same problem for me with Original Rom.
so i tried the Revoloution HD 5.1.4 and same problem again!

Hi guys until HTC release an OTA fix (that's if they do) the only way to resolve this is to root and then try some different ROM and radio combinations until you find one that works for you.
I find the ROM and radio from my signature work really well on WiFi but if you are going to do this make sure and root, gain S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. Also make sure you have the correct RIL for the ROM and radio that you are using
There are lots of threads on the dev section that guide you through this.

Wifi connecting
I have a similar problem with wifi connection. Only it doesn't disconnect during a connection but when establishing a wifi connection it takes much longer than it used to on Froyo. Anyone else noticed this?

i have problem too with wifi

I really hope htc has stopped the updates and resumes with a new build with the wifi problem fixed

The issue is with the Gingerbread Sense ROMs.

我更新2.3.3 是 CoreDroid_Desire_HD_GB_2.3.3_V6.2_Release_Version! wifi 目前一切正常!不知道你是用哪一版2.3.3?

I update 2.3.3 is CoreDroid_Desire_HD_GB_2.3.3_V6.2_Release_Version! wifi now everything is normal! do not know which version you are using 2.3.3?

I' using Revolution HD 5.1.4 with latest Radio and RIL

WiFi problems with routers
Hi there,
Same problem here. Both my WiFi router and phone say signal and reception quality are perfect and connection it stable, but data won't flow.
I'm having this problem with my Speedtouch (WEP key) router at home, whereas a Sitecom router at the office works fine (WPA etc. key).
Tried some work arounds, without success
Regards
***EDIT***
I can add that it has nothing to do with the reported threshold of -88dB signal strength. As I checked that with the *#*#4636#*#* option and both higher and lower values of the WiFi reception don't make any difference. The problem persists.
***EDIT v2***
The suggestion posted elsewhere to change from WEP to WPA didn't work out either
***EDIT v3***
Reverted back to ARHD 3.7 and WiFi is running fine again .
Hope some fix will be found soon!
Regards,

Is there any solution. I am trying to downgrade the radio but no chance.

If I use LeeDroid or Revolution will this same problem be there?

wifi problem with gingersense roms

hi guys, since I started trying gingersense roms, I alway had the same problem, wifi drops when signal is low. I never had this problem with froyo roms. There is a fix for this problem? This is very annoying for me, because in my home wifi signal is always low, but I havn't problem with other devices.
Thanks.

Some news, if I switch off 3g data connection, WiFi hasn't any problem, but if I turn it on, WiFi connection drops and I must go to WiFi settings and it riactivate itself.

Are you sure this was working on Froyo?
From my experience I can say this was the same with 2.2 (Desire stock ROM).
Not really sure this is a bug btw. If I tell my device it can use 3G networks I think I should expect it to switch to 3G as soon as Wi-Fi signal becomes unreliable...

Yes this is the right behavior, but when WiFi drops, if I go in WiFi settings, my device automatically reestablish the wifi connection. This seems a bug!

Also got the same problem here.

I tried to change radio to 5.17.05.23 and i've changed wifi advanced settings to improve wifi signal, but the problem is the same. When wifi signal is poor, it drops and I must go in wifi settings to reestablish connection.

Try changing channels on the WiFi router.

I don't think I can do that with my university internet... and it shouldnt be the channels, the phone seems to be the problem, more specifically the ROM

I'm having this problem also. Until Insertcoin 2.0.1 it was ok. Since the first GB releases Wifi drops much earlier than before if the signal gets worser .. atm I'm using Insertcoin GB 1.0.3

Same problem with reflexs 2.0.5

Hrrrm i just flashed Leedroid 3.06 just to test it here... i have no issues, i am actually able to connect to an open network down the street...
I also flashed the latest radio avail too

Leedroid 3 is based on Bravo Gingerbread HTC Asia WWE 3.06.707.0
I' talking about Ace S 2.36.405.8 WWE base, Gingerbread 2.3.3 android (GRI40) based ROMs, like insertcoin or reflex s.

Yes there are many places, that I know, my Wifi is working flawlessly with Froyo ROMs (eg. my bed, in the back of my garden or the wc at work ), and where is no connection, or where I have to connect manually with GB ROMs.
I was wondering,ifI this is a issue with my phone only ... but it seems not

Is there a fix for this available?

I'm having this problem also. I'm using InsertCoin GB 1.0.3

With Insertcoin 1.0.5 and Blade wifi fix (downloaded from market) the the situation has improved, but the problem has not yet been resolved.

I got the same problem with WiFi dropping when 3g is on. Also with leedroid 2.3 my 3g was off but connected by itself when there was no WiFi around. With Insertcoin its not working.

Same issue here with Oxygen 2.1.3 and Radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08.
Cant confirm if its 3G related or not. WiFi connection was stable for 10min with 2g only. Another 10min with 3g enabled and i've got a disconnect again.

I've the same problem since upgarding to GB ROM.
I found a fix for Desire S - see link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051674
Any chance to have the same for Desire?
Thank you

are you running XXLF1?

Same issue
Facing the same issue : since i upgraded to Jelly Bean, i often lost cellular acess. The only solution to get network back is to reboot my galaxy nexus. Is there a better fix ?

Me too....
Yep me too. I also have Wi-Fi problems. If I am listening to any internet radio the program constantly drops its connection and takes sevral seconds to re-buffer. This happens with T-Mo HSPA+ or regular 3G when i am getting full signal strength. It also happens with Wifi. There are some other threads regarding the issue. I had no trouble whatsoever when I was running ICS. I am completely stock on yakju firmware. I hope Goog releases a fix soon. JB is soooo nice except for these radio issues. I noticed it immediately after the OTA. :crying:
