Very weak WiFi signal/disconnects often - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I'm having a problem with my diamond, at work I connect to the wifi hotspot there but I don't get very good signal, tested with another device(ipod touch) and it has full signal and works without disconnecting. Mine disconnects randomly when it looses the signal completely. I'm using stock wwe 1.93 rom with radio 1.08.25.08. Is there a way to make Wifi work better? Maybe changing the radio will fix it? I saw in another thread that weak wifi signal would be the cause of a disconnected wifi antenna inside the phone. I really don't wanna slice open my phone as I'm pretty noob at this. Any other recommendations would be great! Thanks in advance

does anybody know how to try and fix this?

try your Wifi with an AP at home and if you have the same problem, use your warranty. You can try with the programm Wififofum to see the Db that your phone is indicating near the AP (10->80 DB ( 80 is far of the AP)). I hope it will help you.

Is the connection dropping out?
If the connection is working fine at the required radius, don't let what the meter says concern you.

the signal did drop out when i am out of my study room where my router sits.
it used to still connect the wifi.
any help?
Sounds obvious, but have you any new electrical equipment that may be causing interference??
This was happening to me if I tried and use wifi in the Kitchen, because of the fridge!!
I used sktools to change to G mode compatibility and it stopped.. Could just be a fluke though!!

hi all
tried that but the signal still the same
wifi - wlan problem
Hi,
i've updated my VPA III (BlueAngel) with Xplode's latest R4 image. It's a very nice work xplode!
But I can't turn my wifi on. If I go to the wireless and turn on wifi like discribed in the other threads i can see the left green led (for wifi) blinking like wifi is switched on but the software says still wifi is turned off. it also doesn't work in the comm manager.
thanks
Ebo
i will describe more specific the wifi turning on procedure(you should perform it once after boot, and then use comm manager until reboot):
1. turn on wifi trough wireless manager, it turns on and the turns off by itself
2. turn on wifi from comm manager, now you can control it from comm mnager, enable disable
thank you for the datail infos but I also tried this before and whatever I try nothing helps. It keeps like I described it:
when i do your first step
1. turn on wifi trough wireless manager, it turns on and the turns off by itself
---> the left green hardware led beginns to blink like wifi is physically enabled
but i can't get any access to it and the wireless item on the today screen says still "Wi-Fi: Unavailable"
and the secon step
2. turn on wifi from comm manager, now you can control it from comm mnager, enable disable
-->seems to has simply no effect
before with an older helmi and the original vodaphone software i also had some promblems like sometimes i had to do a soft reset before i could use wlan
is there any way to debug it like a log file or this KITL!?
i also tried a new software update and I cleaned the registry hive and i've formated the storage
@xploe i use your latest release xplode R4 lazy release and at the boot screen appears
R 1.15.00
D 1337.45
G 5.35.04.WWE

Can I ask did u notice this problem before you upgraded & were hoping to solve it via upgrade?.
If your wifi board is on its way out or the antenna has taken one blow two many and let go. No amount of flashing could help.
Did the problem only arise after flashing?.

Internet Sharing problem

So I connect to internet on PC via Kaisers USB which connects to HSDPa.
Problem is that HSDPa connection disconnects aprox. every 8-10mins.
I dont know why, on my Wizard everything works fine.
Where is the problem?
Thanks.
BUMP
So, im using kaisers internet connection on mine PC (internet sharing,usb) and every 10minutes connection drops.
Where is the problem?
Thanks.
Please provide some additional information. Such as: Carrier, ROM version, and Radio version.
I frequently tether for several hours at a time and do not have an issue with disconnects, so there is probably a settings issue that will not come to life until we know a little more about your situation.

Carrier name is "VIP" , location: Europe(Croatia)
ROM: WM 6.1(nothrills)
r 1.65.14.06
g 25.81.40.02H
d 3.14.00.00
I had the same network setup on HTC Wizard and everything worked just fine...
Have you tried any other ROMs or radios? I was able to tether using the NoThrills ROM back when I was running it.
You can also try reflashing the same ROM and radio again in order to eliminate any possible problems stemming from a "bad flash".
Do you have the kaiser tweak installed?
No i didnt try any other ROM or radio..
Everything works fine on that ROM and radio ,only internet sharing is a problem..
And yes i have installed KaiserTweak.
Do you have it set to disconnect your internet?
No i didnt set to automatic dissconnection...
Maybe try another tilt or reset the phone????
huh...i've finally setup everything on this ROM and everything works very nice...so i dont want to flash another ROM (of course if this is only solution, i will..)
strange how nobody had this problem..
NoThrills is a WM6.1 ROM, and your phone would have shipped with a 6.0 based ROM since 6.1 isn't out yet. Did you have this problem prior to flashing to NoThrills?
Well i didnt try on 6.0 original rom...
I've flashed it same day i've got it..
Think i will flash some other ROM..
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
When you say that HSDPA disconnects are you sure it's disconnecting or just downgrading to idle. On my Kaiser I see that when the connection needs to pull data from the net, the icon changes to H (HSDPA) and when idle it changes to just 3G but remains connected. I can see that it remains connected because the signal icon has the 3G logo on top of it.
Cheers!
Rayan
I noticed too that when connection is idle stands 3G icon and when downloading there is H.
But yes, it just disconnects..
When I'm using connection on Kaiser(not internet sharing), it doesn't disconnects..

HSDPA Idle Problem on o2-de

Hello,
i have a strange prob. on my o2 xda Diamond...(on o2-de)
When i start a Data 3G Data Session the Diamond will switch to HSDPA when Data is transfered..... works gerat.... but when the Data transfer is Idle the Diamond switches Back to 3G (this is how it should be....configured by the Network Operator) BUT then when Data is transferred again the Diamond switches to HSDPA for a short while and nothing happens.... the connection seems stuck.....
Somtimes the Data begins to flow after some Minutes, sometimes I have to dis/reconnect manually.
After a manual reconnect the Connection works immideately....but then.... the Problem appears again..
Is there anyone who encountered the same Prob?
P.S.: Yes, i did a HardReset and triple checked all Connection entries...
Same for me on the o2 branded original german rom. But now I'm flashing the DiamondProjectTeam-ROM.
Maybe the bug were fixed in the course of time.
Phew.... so I´m not alone with this Problem...
Im not quite shure if this problem was there a week ago.....
Even if i Update the Wheather Widget two times in a short interval (after fallback to 3G) the connection is stuck....
As far as I remeber this wasn´t the case a week ago after i got the Diamond.
Pleas Report if the cooked ROM behaves different...
Regards, Jan
Yes jkb770 ...
let me set up the settings on the new ROM. After that I will edit this post and report ...
.Edit.
Hey guys, sry for the delay ... But I was very busy.
After flashing to DiamProj V1 I determined no difference
But I was very surprised when I surf with PIE. There was no problem to be idle for a while. PIE connected immediately to the requested page; without reconnecting. Maybe is a opera problem? I tried it with the newest version of opera (9.5.1522), no success.
Great!
Thanks in advance...
...im just installing the unsingned HARDSPL......
German
Hmmmm it seems to be no WWE ROM
No German UI
And i still have the HSDPA Idle Prob...
..Nah.... worth a try
As far as I know this is normal behavior. If there is no data transfered the "3G" symbol is shown as indicator and as soon as there is data transfer the "H" symbol will be displayed in case HSDPA is available.
I can remember I also read this somewhere in the manual of my TyTN.
This is also no disadvantage because transferring no data with HSDPA or UMTS will take exactly the same time.
Read...
The Problem is that after the idle (fallback to 3G) the Connection freezes....
Means..... after every fallback from HS to 3G no Data will ever flow until disconnect...
Sorry, I missed that part somehow
My E90 use to do same thing aswell. Am on 3 network in UK.
I think its network deponded, not some think to do with handset.
Edit on post #4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2398651&postcount=4
exactly same problem here, connection freezes after few minutes, works absolutely fine after reconnecting. Has anyone found a solution for this problem yet?
HTC Diamond with Duttys ROM v1.8, radio 1.00.25.07; and I am on O2 network in UK
Oh and one more thing. I don't encounter this on my Stellar (Kaiser) with exactly same network settings. I will try different SPL today. Will update after.
Regards,
did you guys try do install the new O² HTC Rom Update? 1.93 is the version, maybe it will fix that issue you guys have.
i barely use my diamond for surfing over hdspa - only wifi - so i can't tell about this problem.
btw hello, i'm the new guy
Hello to the new guy.
Now I have changed the Hard SPL 1.24, different radio as well and the problem still exists!
When disabled HSDPA and working only on 3G everything is perfect. Is it only problem with O2 network or has anyone experienced it with any other networks? (but then again, if it was a network problem Kaiser would have the same problem but it DOESN'T) I don't know what to do next...
At least it seems it's not just me experiencing this problem!
My connection also gets stuck when switching back to HSDPA (not always though) and this seems to be causing issues when I connect to my office VPN aswell (when i try to complete data intensive tasks).
I'm 99% sure it's caused by the phone and not the network operator since I've used an older model HTC with my current SIM (Vodacom) and I don't experience this at all then. But when I put a different operator SIM (MTN) in my Diamond I also get this problem.
Anyone figure out what it could be yet?
so looks like it's the phone's fault...
hehe... am not alone in this...i think its network dependent.. ve
tried several hsdpa device, usb modem.. same ...
There should be a kind of solution maybe a software that will keep injecting data requests at intervals to keep hsdpa from falling back to 3G..
bR
My problem is definatly not network related. I've tried with another HTC Touch Diamond (on another network) and I've got the same issues connecting the VPN.
It really seems as if the phone has a problem dealing with large chunks of data (or a certain type of data).
Don't know if this makes sense but that's just my experience with it sofar...
so is there any solution for our problem?
This is driving me crazy
I have the same problem as you guys on my X1. I've tried almost everything and nothing works. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Serious Wifi issue on Kaiser...need fix ASAP!

I'm really astonished that this is happening...and I can't figure out why. My neighbors just got a wireless router hooked up, and i get about 1 bars worth of signal at my house. It is an unsecured connection and my Kaiser keeps connecting to it whenever I turn on Wifi. It will no longer connect to my wifi network no matter what I do. I click on my network in wifi settings and hit 'connect' and then it connects to my neighbors again...I delete it, start over...and no matter what I do it always connects to it. It's obviously some sort of glitch...any ideas on how to fix without a hard reset which is what I'm about to do because it is so frustrating. Everything I use is wireless, and nothing else was affected...just my Kaiser. Anyone had this happen to them before?

get your own internet connection and stop stealing signal from your neighbors!.
On another note, try to set your connection instead of best battery try best performance settings>wifi>advanced>power(sorry dude, if these are not the correct names, but I'm on my touch 2 phone with WM 6.5 spanish rom ..)
I'm on stock AT&T Tilt Rom WM6.1 I've tried all settings available through the Windows UI. So it must be somewhere in the registry that I need to change. I can delete all networks and scan for new ones...two come up...mine, and the new (neighbors)...I've been connecting to mine automatically for years now....and even if I click connect on my network...after its all said and done with the logging in...it connects to the wrong one still...grrrrr

[Q] Wifi Signal extremely weak

Hi guys, I use the captivate as a spare phone , and sometimes to browse the internet at home. I've noticed that recently the wifi signal has been extremely weak. I'm literally right next to my router and it's showing 1 bar of reception. When i step into the next room, i get no reception at all. I was on stock firmware at the time, I have since flashed to cm10, and the wifi signal is just as bad. Can anyone help please?
I'd suggest you try a different kernel. Also, you could try to delete your saved network and re-connect to it.
