Hello everyone,
is it possible to view the battery level and network level of my smartphone next to the time and bluetooth on my mtcd?
thank you

This is my first experience with a Windows Mobile device.
I just installed L26 WM 6.1 Professional WWE V6a ROM (CE OS 5.2.19170 (Build 19170.1.0.0)), which comes with R 1.58.26.20 radio.
What I notice is that the WiFi reception of my Kaiser is too weak. In spots where laptops show weak signal, but still connect reliably, this thing cannot connect al all. At home, where it detects a strong signal, it drops the connection avery hour, or so and the only way to reconnect is to turn off - turn on the WiFi.
If this normal for these devices, or I am having some kind of problem. If you think I have a problem - any suggestions how to fix it?
Yeah it's common. The Tilt doesn't have a dedicated antenna like your laptop does. Most of them have an antenna routed around your LCD screen.
Can something be done to improve the WiFi reception? Some registry thack?
Go to WiFi power mode and select "Best performance" did the trick for me though the already power hungry tilt will get oven more hungry :-(
There is a setting that can adjust the amount of battery life consumed by the WiFi. I'm not sure if its related to the bandwith it uses or the extent to which it tries to find a signal. I tried it out in the hospital and the connection strength didn't change from the lowest->highest setting.
I'm sure there is something to be done on the software side though.
I set the WiFi power mode to "Best Performance". I don't notice improvement in the strenght of signal. But now the battery dosn't last even 8 hours in sleep mode. I leave my Tilt fully charged in the evening and in the morning it is dead.

Disable the wifi when not in use.
May I ask what you WiFi while you sleep - LOL
Switch services OFF when not needed (as the poster before said).
OT:
If you want superb battery live for example use 3G only "when needed" (internet, wireless modem). Install Chi-Tai's battery status tool and enable the the feature to see how much power is drawn from the battery. You will be amazed how much you can conserve by setting things up right even by changing the order of program load at startup... My idle comes down to 53-72 mA and I have not drainage problem anymore (at least for now :-()
WIFI very poor
I gave off my HTC P3600(Trinity) and purchased a TyTN II(Kaisar) in the hope of getting better options, particularly on WIFI. I was disappointed and I think Trinity is even better in handling WIFI. TyTN II could hardly detect a WIFI signal and when it does it always drop off. Has anyone had a similar problem and got a solution? Please share and help!!!!!
WiFi on Kaiser AT&T Tilt is weak
My Kaiser / AT&T Tilt has poor WiFi reception, even when on Best Performance.
My former Hermes 8525 was somewhat better. I am on this forum looking for a cure, like you.
Wow, Shocking! A Device with out a dedicated antenna doesn't get as good of reception as a Laptop.
hej guys,
i have a problem regarding my i9305. when the battery is charged to 100% and i have wifi enabled and the phone is connected to my wifi router, i have the impression that the wifi anyway is scanning all the time for new networks. within two hours my battery is at ~85% with normal (almost no) usage.
when wifi is disabled - same usage as before - i am at 94% after 5 hours!
so is there a possibility to stop the i9305 from wifi scanning when it is already connected to a wifi? or is there any other issue why the wifi drains the battery that quick?
cheers
WiFi settings Advanced check setup
why does my battery die so quickly when i am on public networks or on my school's network? each of these networks has an authentication process, though my school's network automatically authenticates. i know it's the public networks that are eating my battery because at home i get several more hours of screen time and nearly twice the total battery life with the same type of usage.

I don't know, but are the types of wifi networks the same? 5ghz vs 2.4ghz? 802.11ac vs n vs g vs b?
I would also question how much activity the device receives from the public/school networks vs at home - where i'd expect it to be a more "quiet" network.
Have you profiled how much awake-time (not screen on time) changes?
I've run into the same thing at the college where I work. The WiFi is secured, and the AP is right outside my office. I was thinking my battery drain was due to the lack of a cell signal, building is basically a Faraday cage, no cell service inside. My nice boss got us a microcell, so I now have great cell reception. And my battery dies even faster. My data is always turned off.
Nobody has a clue, but everyone else here has the same problem, batteries just seem to hate schools.
BTW; at home, battery life is great, even when out on long walks with the dog. I pick up Xfinity WiFi, no noticeable battery drain. Plugged my phone in Friday night, Sunday it was down to about 60%, no charging in between.
So it's probably a combination of network load and the authentication process. At least I know it's not my phone's OS/battery since you guys have the same problem. Thanks.
Hello, friends. There is an awesome charge consumption when using WhatsApp on cellular networks. WhatsApp is almost in the first place in charge consumption. but, there is no problem in the wireless network. Is there anyone who has a similar problem?
Hi to all:
An observation on my moto g5s plus. When activating the GPS and obtaining the position, the system takes time, or the first time, to locate the current position. I'll call it First Positioning.
The first positioning time is less if I activate the WIFI receiver, even being in open space and far from any WIFI network signal.
Does anyone know or is interested in investigating, how the activation of the WIFI network signal search affects the improvement of the GPS signal reception?
Undoubtedly, if I activate the WIFI on the smartphone, I get quicker time for establishing the GPS position or less time for the First Positioning.
Tested with GPS Test apk and other offline navigators.
Currently this behavior occurs with an Android Oreo 8.1 Stock Rom and Android 10 Plus Pixel Experience.
Thank you, best regards.
I have no idea about a connection between GPS and WiFi. Android can use WiFi to help GPS, but why enabling WiFi can speed up the GPS fix when there are no WiFi networks in reach, I don't know.
The GPS of my G5S Plus has become so terribly slow (fix time of more than 20 minutes, losing position while walking outside). I have absolutely no idea what caused that. Last system update is over a year ago.
I use my phone for navigation in the car and for hiking. Last summer I bought an external GPS receiver.
