Me and a friend have the Xiaomi Redmond note 4 and when we went to grab a coffee together I noticed that I have a much worse signal connection than him, when he was at full signal strength on the WiFi whereas I had 1 line , then I noticed that at home , I don't even find the network on places where I used to have good connection , is it possible that I somehow destroyed the WiFi connection receiver in the phone? And it can't be a router problem of course since others had good signal compared to me, is this fixable?

I don't seem to get a very good wifi range on my hd7. The hd7 gets 1 bar where other devices in the same position relative to the router get 2 or3 bars, anyone else find this or is mine a faulty device?
im sorry i just found this but i have the same problem! i cant be more than 1 wall away from my router or my hd7 won't find my wifi! i hope this isnt a hardware issue:/
As for Me the Hd 7 has had the best connectivity for wifi for me .. totally pleased, might be somthing to do with the routers.. I have bad connectivity with my Hero but brilliant with the HD 7
WiFi issues
I have issues connecting to WiFi even in the same room as router is, on open networks in coffe shops and hotels.
It's very weird, I get the message that the password is incorrect, or the network unreachable.
I actually dont recall that have one case of successed WiFi connection, I think this is very strange!
Any advices how to improve phone's sensibility, where is Antenna placed?
thanks in advance,

I have been having the same problem. I noticed turning off my data connection completely actually helped some. It seem like the HD7 will try to connect through whatever connection is strongest.
can anyone test different Radios, see which one get better wifi reception.
I tested mine just next to my laptop, while my laptop reach last 2 bars, my HD7 disconnected sometimes.
Wifi reception.
I get pretty good WiFi reception I had to find a specific channel in a congested area i.e. my house but that was router side. I use my phone on WiFi at my house upstairs through a few walls with little issue. It gets the same level if reception as my iPad. Not really a great example there. While alot can effect WiFi reception you guys may have a legit hardware issue.
Same issue here. My HD2 could connect to my router anywhere in my house - however I move to another room now and the HD7 has real problems as the signal is showing as weak! I know it's not weak as my netbook and old HD2 still have no problems at all.. let's hope a radio update will sort it pout.
same issue here
I also encounter big problems with wifi.
At my place I can connect with my laptop and any previous phone I owned to my wifi from my bedroom, but not with my HTC HD7. When I'm in the same room I have nog issues at all.
At my parents place my phone doesn't like the wifi, I am not able to connect to the wifi even in the same room. Other phones are not having issues with the wifi.
Same issue on my EVO, i only have a 20 ft range on my wifi now. Not sure what happened but it really bums me out not being able to fix it.
I am also having this same problem with my EVO. Started not long ago and I have no idea why or how to fix it. no wifi really sucks
I have the exact same problem ever since I bought my HTC HD7S.
WiFi range is horrible regardless of the OS I'm on.
I just updated it to 7.8 and it is exactly the same.
I sent it in to HTC and they said they'd charge me 160 USD to fix it, the phone only cost 99 USD no contract, no fees, but carrier locked of course so it's not worth it.
I did drop it on the floor in Oakland, would any of you with this issue have done the same?
Would that be why my WiFi is so horrible?
What could I do to fix this, replace the WiFi chip inside the phone?
I just bought one S Advance few days ago.i noticed that my wi-fi signal is significantly lower than my girlfriend's HTC Rhyme. Also when i keep the phone on my desk, in the same room with the rooter (3 meters away from it) my wifi signal is full Instead when i pick the device in my hand the signal drops 1 or even 2 lines of signal and it keeps oscilating. Not mentioning that in public places i sometimes can't connect to a wifi because i don't have enough signal but the HTC does.
I nstalled several wifi monitors like wifi analyzer or wifi signal info and the last one shows how my signal decreseases when i pick the device in my hand (aprox 15-20%).The internet still works fine in the same room with thee router but if i go few meters from the room it drops significantly and charging internet pages becomes poor or null.And in public places is kind of funny.If i keep the device on the table the signal is 2-3 lines but when i put it under the table or just turn the back on the router the signal just drops 1 line and the internet is not working anymore
I want to know if it`s my device problem only or if someone else is experiencing the same. I saw a lot of posts about weak wifi signal on SGS II. Does the S advance has the same problem ?
Should i return the device to the provider for replacement or it's just normal?
My router is in another room - about 6 meters away with bathroom on straight line from my desk to the router and I got 3 out of 4 bars on 'wifi manager' - no mattrer if phone sits on the desk or I am playing with it in my hands. Internet works as usual everywhere in my flat - no matter where I am,
Public wifi getting 1-2 bars on wifi manager works ok - I blame speed cap for slower loading pages on public wifi - must try speedtest while on it to be sure.
Bought my device in December - it was used for like 2-3 months when I bought it.

Try ThunderZap kernel, I was getting better signal with it in places where I didn't have at my home.
Thanks
Thanks guys. Yesterday i tested my phone with another s advance.also new. and they had pretty much the same signal on wifi signal info app.i`m not complaining about internet connection in my room...no matter how many lines the internet is still working fine.But if i hold the phone with one hand and cover his back the signal decreases and holding it from above part =up one line.but in public places it sucks.Keeping my hands on the table=2 lines, under the table=1 line and unusable internet.pretty much annoying. I guess it's samsung`s hardware problem with this wifi antennas.
With wifi manager about 5-6 meters away from the router, straight line:
86% percent signal keeping the phone from it's top = -62dbm, 3 lines
60% percent signal keeping the phone normally as in daily use = -75dbm, 3 lines
My GT-I9070P seems to have weak wifi reception. Next to a laptop receiving 5 bars from a hotspot, my phone is only getting one or two bars from the same hotspot. In addition, many other SSIDs that my laptop see my phone does not. Is there any way to improve the wifi reception?
Well , I have no problems here , perhaps your WiFi hardware is defective ?
Might also be a software issue .
I'm the only guy b*tch you'll ever find in XDA.

Your phone receiver is smaller than the one your notebook, so seeing difference in reception isn't a fair comparison because your notebook will always win.
The same about not seeing all ssids.
Nothing much to do about reception, but there are a couple of tweaks for networking posted on the forums.

Mine has issues too. I noticed it improved a little with custom rom JetMod But then I upgraded to JB stock with latest CoCore kernel and its back again to where it started.
I once found a website where it said that of you enter maintenance mode you can adjust the power saving mode of the wifi But when I tried That stock ROM wouldnt let me change the setting. I hope my experience is of any help.

One issue i've noticed about my Note 3 is that where i would normally have great wifi connection with my old S3 (in my own living room) my note 3 would give me a notification saying the "Wi-FI connection is unstable". Even in my room sometimes i would have a perfect WiFi connection and other times i have a wifi connection but it is too "unstable" to use. On top of that i've noticed my internet speed on my Note 3 is significantly slower than my S3, and i know it isn't my wifi connection because my laptop runs the same speed as it always has. I was wonder if anyone could help me out here. Is it a hardware or software problem?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
I get this every once in a while when I am at the fringe of the WiFi range or where there are an excessive amount of WiFi overlapping. The WiFi strength on this is much better than any other phone I have had as I can actually go into certain areas of work now and still connect. These areas are pretty much a large metal lined box so wasn't expecting to connect as my note 2 doesn't, an iPhone 5 & 5s will not connect in there either.
I just turned off the automatic switching between WiFi and mobile and no longer get the message.

I tried turning off that setting and this problem still occurs. Is that a hardware or software problem? Have i maybe received a defective Note 3?

wipe your cache partition. you don't lose any data or important info or apps. some reported this helped them. http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-9049#cache_partition
Hi
I received my 3T yesterday. I am having issues with WIFI
WiFi network drops frequently and the mobile data is used for some time and then WIFI is connected again. See attached .. This happens even when moving between rooms of my house
I think this happens when the mobile wifi changes from 5GHZ to 2.4GHZ when I move away from router
I have updated to OxygenOS 3.5.4 as soon as I received the mobile
The signal strength of the 3T is also very low
I have a 2 year old moto X 2014 and the moto beats the 3T at every place in my house
The signal strength and the wifi speed both are better in moto X
I have checked at various places
I have wiped the cache. Tried changing 2.5GHz to 5GHz
Changed Channels.. Tried all the things that I could find on the internet
But still problems
So is this a hardware problem and should I ask for a replacement? Or is this some Software bug which can be resolved
My router is ASUS RTN66U and a lot of other devices work seamlessly on that router and hence pls dont suggest to change the router
Awaiting replies
Regards
Ajjaykummar
I think this is a bug related to 3.5.4. On 3.5.3 my WiFi worked a lot better, but LTE Advanced is faster on 3.5.4. You can try a custom rom or downgrading, there's also a leaked OxygenOS 4 rom out.
Do you have wifi issues now when u have 3.5.4
I don't want to install new Roms. As I may have to return it in case this is a faulty piece
I'm having the exact same problem. I stream a lot. Very annoying when music video or gaming gets disconnect so often. My Galaxy Note 4, & s6 works fine.

yes, it started on 3.5.4.
here is a screencap of the issue
You can see in the screen cap that the mobile is connected to ASUS5 (5GHZ)
Then as I move away from the router the signal weakens and then the wifi disconnects .. and then it connects to ASUS (2.4GHZ)
Earlier it was connecting to ASUS but with a exclamation mark (without internet).. I waited for 15 minutes but it did not connect
Then I would connect if I switch off and on the wifi toggle
After that I did a factory reset and now you can see the screencap
It connects after a minor delay.. So is this alright
My other mobile - Moto X 2014 simply switches instantly from 5GHz to 2.4GHz and vice versa.. not even half of second is taken on moto x
Give the device a static IP use 2.4 network as it's more of a long range band. I tend to use the 5 band for stationary stuff. My WiFi works fine but all my home devices have a static IP.
This are the things that I did
1) Factory reset
2)Use Legacy DHCP client (under Developer options)
3)Disable Smart Wifi switcher (Advanced Wifi setting)
4)Static IP
This seems to solve the disconnection issue .. I still feel the wifi signal is weak compared to my other devices
Hope this helps someone facing the problem
regards
I had the same Problem on OOS 3.5.3/3.5.4/4.0 at the OnePlus 3T.
I tried every Solution on the internet and nothing worked for me.
But after i looked into my Router-Setup i saw the DHCP Section where i selected 'Renew DHCP every Day'
>>> Screenshot what i mean - imgur.com/KakQX3i.png <<<
After that it works perfect. No connection-issues anymore.
mine is already one day..
I thought it was resolved... but again I noticed slow wifi speeds
thinking of replacement
haven't had the phone long enough to experience disconnects but wifi is definitely slow...
I have a 200mbps connection, getting 160mbps on desktop with LAN cable, 110mbps on my OPO, only 50mbps on my OP3T....
all tested through speedtest with the same server location.
OP3T is chinese version flashed with oxygenos 4.0.1
edit: later tested again with OP3T getting up to 90mbps but still 20 less than the OPO
I have same issus like lajay. The Galaxy S7 from my wife works perfekt in the same Network!
