Very weak wifi signals. - HTC One Mini 2

My htc one mini 2 always has pretty bad wifi recenption. It started while I was on the original rom (android 4.4.2 T-Mobile branding). Now I'm on Cm11 snapshot, but the problem still exists. I have to stand pretty near to every router, to get reception. Could this be a problem with my baseband or could it be the antenna? Thanks in advance and have a nice day.

How near? If you can't get a proper signal in the room the router is installed itself, it could be a problem with the phone's antenna.

I have to be in the room the Router ist Installed (3-4 meters). If i'm One room away I sometimes have no reception and sometimes One bar. Could the antenna be unplugged? I dont know how it should have been broken.

It could be that the phone's antenna is faulty. You should get it repaired or replaced

you dont need warranty. HTC usually fix hardware problems for free, but they will reset your phone to stock ROM. Give them a call.

wifi on nike

hey guys,
sorry to start a new thread but couldnt just find a thread where i could ask this question. Let me know if i did a mistake. will not do again...
frankly have been using Niki100 for almost 6 months now and pretty frustrated with no wifi on it. Place were i stay we dont have 3G yet so need to work on edge... very slow and dont enjoy much....
reading the forum got to know a lot of people tried on this but not yet succeeded...i also got an idea that may be in Niki100 they probably dont have a wifi hardware..
i have a Htwc wizard that is not yet bricked and the wifi works...
is their anyway we could get the wifi chip from the wizard into the Niki100 with the drivers somehow and get it to work...
might sound stupid but was a genuine query...
thanks for the reply in advance...
Niki have wifi, but is locked, and seems there is no way to unlock it without any datasheet. Also there is no antenna for it.
And how would you suppose to have the wifi "chip" transferred onto a completely different model, PCB layout etc..? By just soldering?
Wifi isn't just a single chip, it's a chip on a PCB with other chips connected to it in a specific way, conencted to a wifi antennae in a specific way etc etc..
If you really read the other threads, you would have noticed that the problem at this time is the driver/software to get the hardware already present running properly..
So your solution would be to add completely different hardware, if that were at all possible with the completely different circuitboard layout and components, and write software for that specific hardware from scratch when the community isn't as of yet able to get software working for hardware already present..? I would say the chances of getting that working would be really slim.. And then i would be optimistic.
Anyone hear from valvarin and co?
Hi ardennis... he has got a wifi working...
can i know how? what should i do?
So how did you guys get the wi-fi working. Curious if anyone got this done, someone offered to sell me his for 70 bucks and wanted to know if its worth it....

Thanks for the clarification. I'll stick with my HTC Dream and HTC Juno. Nike is not worth it then in my opinion..
The limitation is in the Radio ROM.
Bought the Niki and sold after 15 days (years ago). lol.
you can use wifi if you place a sd card in it with a wifi antenna
it cost around the 50 euro
you can 't most of the wifi cards for PPC's aren't compatible with touch dual for some weird reason
Hi... I want to buy a sd card that allow me wifi connections... can you tell the especifications for this card?

[Q] call quality issue

I am having an issue with my standard htc one.
When i am on calls the person on the other end is saying that i sound very quite. I have had this with a couple of different people i have called.
The phone is a brand new replacement from o2.
I at first thought it was due to the case i have on the phone blocking the mic however having removed the case and tried another test call the problem is still there.
Any suggestions of what to try or why this is
anyone else had this?
thanks

Call your provider reps and get another new model...
Just had it replaced by o2 as the last one had a random vibrating and overheating issue.
Getting fed up with constantly having to change this one....seems to be one problem after another.
Any possible fix or cause?

Are u on stock or did u flash any Rom or custom kernel?

no completely stock
the phone was purchased on o2 contract by a friend who then didnt like it/get on with it so i bought it off him. The phone i received had an issue with random vibrating so he returned it for a brand new replacement.
All i have done is unlocked the phone (by code) so i can use it on my network which is 3
it would seem that the htc one seems to be plagued with a number of different issues and no sooner than you manage to sort one out by exchanging it you end up with another problem!
Its getting very frustrating as i so want to like this phone....the first phones i had (bought sim free) had issues with captive buttons and build quality which led me to change back to an iphone.
After a couple of months decided to try the htc one again in the hope that all the early issues were resolved and here we are again with yet different problems.
i had this issue too, i think its related to Radio and Firmware,
just flash 2.24 and see if it fixes it, if not try ARHD 12.1 (With Wipe)

glad its not just me then, was yours an o2 one also?
really hope it can be sorted by firmware....can you tell me which firmware yo put on yours please..a link would be great
im guessing i have to unlock the bootloader and put a recovery and root again? i did this with the last one to try and resolve the random vibrating issue however that turned out to be a hardware problem
I have read some issue about problems with the mics on the phone just wish there was a way to be sure before flashing just in case i have to send it to htc to get sorted...would rather avoid sending away though
thanks for the help

just locked on my phone and it says the software is 2.24.206.1 so does this mean that it must be a hardware issue or is it still worth flashing something?
Hej, had the same problem and thought it would be the rom (cm-10.1-20130706-NIGHTLY-m7ul).
Well, it became apparent that it was the genuine HTC double flip case, who seemed to cover the micro just next to the micro usb connection.

thats why i thought it might be the case however the problem is the same with the case removed (poetic case) so dont think its that. I just dont want to unlock bootloader etc and risk messing up my return to htc if it is definatley a hardware issue.
Getting really annoying this now though as the rest of the phone is perfect, build, captive buttons, ear speaker etc
Yeah, seems to be a good idea not to mess around with roms while the device itself ain't running as it should.
Just had a look at the poetic case and the hole for the micro seems rather big, so it seems unlikely that this is the problem.
How about the hole being filled by like, dirt? Just had to think about my htc one. Sometimes the speaker grill is filled with some tobacco leftovers who float around in the same pocket as in which I put the phone. Even though it seems rather unlikely, no possibility should be left unregarded.

thanks again
i have considered the possibility of the mic hole being blocked although the phone is only a day old. I am pretty sure though that the phones supplied by o2 to replace faulty phones are actually reconditioned phones so it is possible that could be fluff or blocked, On looking it does seem that the hole for the mic is rather small and i am wondering if that in the machining process that maybe that holes is not opened up as much as it should be or is not clean....think i might try opening the hole abit using the sim ejecting tool or a pin. Just a bit concerned about the possibility of damaging the mic but then if it is faulty anyway then i guess i have nothing to lose.
will report back in a bit

i had 2.19 running 4.1.2 then i upgraded to 4.2.2 and 2.24 ARHD 12.1, the Proximity sensor is fixed and call quality has been improved but sometime it gets bad.
as for O2, i am running M7 unlocked (international)
here is the Link, just flash this ROM (Firmware, Radio, and OS is included) "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023"
Ok so I have tried to make the Mic hole bigger/clean it out and and first couple of test calls it seemed it improved it. However it seems almost now like the problem is intermittent as other calls have shown the problem to still be there, this is really getting frustrating now.
Can it really be software related? Is there anymore conclusive tests I can do to help identify the problem.

BUMPPPP!
I got this problem all of a sudden
Did you solve the problem op?
I've isolated my problem to the bottom mic, cause recording videos is mainly fine (guessing it records only with one of the mics now though) and when I put it on speakerphone it works. However when I take a normal call, or use gnow it doesn not really register. When I really yell it comes through softly.
People on the other side of the phone can't hear me well, I have a feeling something's stuck in my mic port
Thanks

no, many of the older / refurbished models have a defective camera in them

for warranty, you have to check with retailer himself, & your problem is hardware related, so maybe rooting might not matter, but it is advised to unroot it before taking it back to Service Center....

good for you, mine is from UK itself, Glamour Red edition,but doesn't have any international warranty, so they won't repair mine..
Do they repair them or do they swap them for reconditioned ones?

[Q] Unable to swipe down the statusbar

I've been having problems with the sensitivity of the top 2mm of my phone's screen. I don't remember when it started but I think it was around a couple of months ago.
Before, it was only difficult for me to swipe the notification bar down, but now, I can no longer swipe it down unless I rotate the screen.
I don't remember how or exactly when it started, but I remember that I was using ARHD 70.0, then I updated to 71.1 in attempt to fix it, but it only worked for a while but it came back again. I also tried other roms such as MaximusHD and Eragon but still the same. I also tried rebooting to safe mode but still the same. I also used both stock and elemental sense kernels.
I updated my firmware back then to 6.06 and now to 6.07 but still nothing. I haven't tried downgrading yet though.
I tried using the line draw test and the result is found below.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I already searched xda and google but i found no solution to my problem.
It could be a hardware related issue. If it's still under warranty revert it to stock and re-lock the bootloader and just send it back.

Has your device been dropped or been water damaged? The digitizer connection from the mb could have became a bit loose.
*Edit*
I have read on a forum for the HTC One X which seems to have a similar issue to yours where a part of the screen is unresponsive. Someone suggested to clean the connector.

I dropped it a few times while in a case and only around a feet at most. It never been water damaged, hopefully never will.
I see, I'll look for it there, though I'm not sure how to clean the connector. Thanks!

I did some more research about it and people are saying it is a digitizer issue. So replacing the digitizer should fix it, but you will need to buy the lcd and digitizer together as its nearly impossible to replace them separate from eachother.

It's definitely a hardware issue. I have been dealing with the same issue for about 6 months now. When I try to swipe down to bring up the notification bar I get absolutely no feedback . If I give it a smack with my palm near the top corners I can often times get it to start working again. However, it's usually short lived.

I see. Thank you very much for the help. I think I'll just send this to the service center when I get the chance. I will probably ask them to fix the red tinted camera as well. I just hope it won't be too expensive.
You have a dead spot. Sorry kid. If updating the OS still gives you the funk, you need a new screen.

Oh yeah, there's a fix, buying new ic and trying to replace it with special tools, or buying a new motherboard. Not worth it.
Happens pretty often on this phone. I got it too. Wifi only works within centimeters of the router. I'll try to get it to repair
Same thing happended to me, i sent it to repair. They told me they changed the motherboard.
