WiFi Problem - HTC Incredible S

Hey Guys
Actually my phone was hit last week and after that,my wifi signal is very weak, when I turn on the WiFi it just show me the nearest access point(1 meters)
and I must be near to access point till it show me and connect to the name access point on the list.
where is the exact position of wifi in the incredible S' board please?
if it's damaged, so why I can connect to near access point ?
Is there any application to test it?
My OS is Android ICS 4.0.4
Thanks a lot for your advice

Maybe Router Issue?
Could also be from the radio/Rom..

thnx for your reply,
No, the routers are OK, because I tested them via Xperia Mini,HTC HD2 and Xperia X1 and they get signals very well,
also I changed the ROM but it's not fix yet,
so your suggestion is better to change the radio too, huh ?
OK I'll do it, thnx

Hi i just upgraded my incred s to 4.0.4 and in the advanced wifi options try turning on Best Wi-Fi performance.
you could also try the antenna fix which also apparently helps get a better wifi singnal

thnx a lot , so it's not related to radio version ? currently my radio is " RADIO-3831.18.00.11_M "
is that the latest version ?

It's not the latest but it is a fairly recent radio.
3831.18.00.28_M is AFAIK the latest radio.

thnx a lot , what do you think? is that related to weak signal ?

Personally I don't think so. Have you double checked to ensure your back cover isn't loose? Trying a new radio be worthwhile if for no other reason than I have found the new radios give better battery life.
Here is a link to the latest radio

Thanks a lot, I downloaded it, and copied it to the root of sdcard, after that I went to bootloader and it installed automatically, but the version not be changed, why ?

Not quite sure. I usually do radio upgrades using adb push method.

You need to flash the new radio (2.42.01.04.27). See his webpage for the download link.

Could be wrong but you don't have to use the new radio. The other radios still work.
If mobile data is disabled, you need to use an older version. I recomend 2.07.2

I only say that because I flashed damages the other day and I had the same issue. I updated my radio and it worked fine.
Had the same problem earlier running Fresh Toast 2.1 where I couldn't do anything with data, though I could still search the market. Was using the Verizon .09 radio. I'll try again later with the newest radio, but reverted back to Fresh 2.0d for now.

One way that you can check out if it is a radio problem from the rom 1) Is the option already mentioned...try different radio combinations 2) Flash your stock rom and if the problem persists it's more a phone problem.

[Q] Latest Radio - MD5?

I'd like to update my IncS to the latest Radio, but am a bit leery of doing so without being able to check the md5, which isn't posted for the latest in the official radio thread in the dev forum.
Can anyone post and confirm the correct MD5 for 20.2811.30.085AU_3805.09.03.27_M?
I am currently using this radio on my Inc S and have had no issues with it.
The MD5 checksum on the copy I have (according to WinMD5Free) is 9390ece690723402f272737f8e3aeaec
Did you need to do any editing of the radio to have it flash correctly? I have a bell IncS myself...
can anyone care to explain what radio is?

I always use the command line option to push the radio file to my device. Check this thread for instructions but make sure you are pushing a Gingerbread radio if you have a GB ROM.
I would suggest also reading the thread to get a good understanding of the whole process.

Its your baseband. I wouldn't bother changing it unless you are having problems with your signal as it can brick your phone.

it controls everything to do with your wireless signal...
Wifi,data transfer speeds. signal strength, gps, etc.
Changing it can be extremely important if you are having signal issues or severe battery drain.

i know that many people give this warning when it comes to flashing radios, but, in reality, it's difficult to brick your phone while flashing a new radio.
unless you are doing something really dumb by pulling the battery during the flash

[Q] What's the best firmware to use?

Hi Guys,
I have 3g Connectivity issues with ARHD (GE) Kitkat.
Which is the best firmware I can use?
How can I know it will fit my device?
Will it delete everything?
Thanks!

Hi there!
1. If you have 3G connection issues try having a look if you can find a 'radio' that may improve your connectivity. Although it shouldn't matter too much.
2. By 'fit' do you mean work with your device? It should. Try out a different rom if you'd please.
3. It will delete all user data. e.g. Apps, games, locally saved contacts. etc.

Doesn't the firmware includes the radio? Where can I find different Radio? Can I flash it with fastboot?

I tried like 3 latest radios (2 of 4.4 and one of the latest T-mobile)
all gave me same result on speed tests (really slow one)..
Could it be a ROM problem? could it be that ARHD 5.1 (GE) doesn't work well on original T-Mobile HTC One?
What should I do?
If you are S-off u can flash any firmware package. That includes unsigned ones
If you are S-on you are only limited to specific ones marched to your model Id and Cid.

This will tell you which.

No, I got it from the HTC One forum, I had before ARHD 30.. everything worked fine.
I tired already like 5 different radios all gives the same result so I guess it's a problem in the firmware..

Oh dang! I guess you might have to go back to the older version 30. Could you maybe get the radio from version 30? I'm not too sure if that's possible..

I'm not sure either..
I'll try:
re-install ARHD 5.1 (clean install) --> if in few days 5.2 won't come out and everything will stay the same I'll try ARHD 40.3.

CyanogenMod Mobile Connection

So I am pretty new to CyanogenMod and haven't flashed or rooted a phone since the EVO 3D. So I flashed the latest nightly version and everything went fine besides not being able to get a mobile connection on my phone. I can make calls and send text but any app that needs 3g to refresh doesn't work unless I am on wi-fi. I was wondering if someone could direct me to the latest version that still has 3g connectivity im getting really frustrated. BTW I am on Sprint. Appreciate all your help.
Thanks for your time,
Tim
Try 2/28 or older to be safe. There was a major ril change in the past few days that has caused some issues such as no data. That all should be sorted out soon if it's not already but 2/28 was before it so it should be fine. I don't have Sprint to verify but I think this will help.

Thanks for your help. I was reading that somewhere and I go to "http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=m7spr" ND and the updates jump from 11-2 to 3-1. Do you know of another website I can get the version from 2-28??

3/1 build actually should be ok. I was trying to be conservative in recommending 2/28.

Flashed it and still no mobile connections. not even calls or anything anymore. I tried to install Viper earlier to see if that fixed it and I think it messed it up even more. I used GURU reset method " http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/ " and touch didnt work but I could still see there was no mobile connection. Am I missing something?? Idc what I have to do I just need my phone to work again for calls and text at this point. Thanks for your help and advice
