Ive done some searching and found others searching for the same but I canont seem to find anything.
I'm looking for something that will indicate the current strength of the signal in percentage of the network im connected to, maybe even with the SSID
Ideally a little today plugin/icon that simple says netgear: 80% or something like that.
Its my understanding that the app "batterstatus" does this but its far too complicated for me and besides I cant seem to find a percentage representation only a db one
I searched the forums but couldn't find anyone else with the problem. Little while ago my TP2 stopped showing the service bars and wireless data connection (EVDO ect..). It will either not show them or only show half of them.
Anyone else with the problem?
I've tried changing a number of things to no evail....
Figured it out, nevermind.
I searched through these forums and I could not find an answer, so if I missed it, just let me know. I am curious if anybody knows how to solve this problem. I live in a small town that is on the At&t's Edge network, and I commute to a larger city with At&t's 3G/Hspda network.
Whenever the phone transitions from E to H networks, the data connection will not work. I activate Opera or do the weather update on the home screen and a message pops up saying that it cannot connect. Now, if I do a soft reset, it works perfectly. It never disconnects or gives me any problem. Also, when I return to the E signal, it switches over perfectly with absolutely no need for a reset. It started this when I installed the new Tilt2 rom from the HTC website. I have installed Net 3.5, jh2001 data speed fix, the advanced config tool, and have properly set up the required options on the config tool and under settings->connections->advanced network. If necessary, I have never changed the radio.
Has anybody else run into this problem or know of a fix? Thanks in advance.
had the phone over a year now, never had an issue before.
As soon as you turn on the portable wifi hotspot, i loose the 3g/h symbol from the top of the screen and from that no data conectivity?
and as sopon as you turn the wifi hotspot off, it regains an internet conection
Any ideas, ive not installed any apps recently, as far as i can remember?
Do you get an internet connection when another device connects to your phone's wifi hotspot.
If you are able to connect, then it must be working, as it's the 3G signal that the phone uses to connect the wifi to the internet. It might remove the icon, but if you can connect then it's fine.
nope, can conect my ipad to the DHDs hotspot but no internet.
the same for when i turn the hotspot on, cant brouse anything on the phone as no data conection
still not sorted this, anyone else got a aide or something to sort this?
First post (longtime lurker)
I've got the same problem here although this has only started happening in the last couple of days. The phone's data connection is fine until you enable the wifi hotspot at which point the connection is dropped to the phone, connecting any devices to the phone is fine, they get an IP address and can ping the phone directly, but beyond the phone there's nothing.
Rebooting the phone does not help.
The only app I've installed recently is Google Shopper.
Out of curiosity Fil what ROM are you using? I'm on RCMix3d Runny 3.0 which is based on Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.5. I'm looking at switching to an ICS build pretty soon.
It also looks like we're on the same network although I think that's just coincidence.
yep sounds exactly the same issue,
as for rom, still on t-mobiles original 2.50.110.5 Adroid 2.3.3
was thinking of flashing something custom to see if it solved the problem
I've just flashed IceColdSandwich today at work (it's been a slow day!) and you'll be pleased to know that wireless tethering is working again. I'm on the train home as I type this. It's possibly something in the 2.3 image? I can't really say since we both had different ROMs (mine was a Sensation port). It could just be a bad bit of code in the gingerbread OS that produces this bug on rare occasions.
It may have something to do with the fact that T-Mobile and Orange allow you to roam on eachother's networks. Do you have roaming enabled?
To be honest I'm just stabbing wildly at possible causes here and a flash fixed it anyway. I went ICS but I don't think you'd have to go that extreme but flashing a new ROM overwrites whatever it is that caused this in the first place.
I'm just hoping it's fixed in ICS and won't happen again!
cheers, enabled data roaming, and it now works!
Since the issue, my batterys turned to crap! guessing thats the cause constantly jumping networks, and also data speeds have been very poor lately, was ok when just t-mobile, but orange is poor!
Off to the t-mobile foeums to see if its just me, or others!
And once again the problem has returned.
At first I wondered if it was a Google connection issue. Both connections would go grey. But I couldn't connect to anything. When I turn WiFi off, I'm able to connect to everything again with my mobile connection.
Running Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 on my AT&T GS3. Never had an issue like this before. Any ideas?
Really having trouble with this. Someone suggested WiFi fixer, it worked for all of 30 seconds and then WiFi stopped working again. I can't use my mobile connection for long because AT&T as we all know caps it like crazy.
Edit: Odd thing. An iPhone isn't connecting either. But the wireless computers in the house are. So maybe it's the router? It does appear to be the router. For now I think everyone can just ignore this.
I've posted similar questions with this phone, my old sprint Samsung epic 4g touch and my nexus 7, I did notice that it seems to be kernel dependant, some rom/kernel combinations cause the issue some don't.
Check to see if there is a firmware update for your router
