hi there,
I am using a2 from a long time but I noticed that my device wifi signal strength is not good now. Is there any way to make it good as it was before
Yeah , I'm facing the same issue.. I posted a similar question some days back. You can check it out on my profile.. the replies by the community there might help

Hi guys!
I have seen a few posts from several of you regarding slow ActiveSyncs after upgrading to the latest ROM/Ext.ROM/Radio Stack, as available here.
I, too, noticed a HUGE slowdown while ActiveSyncing my device, right at the beginning of the sync... once things are moving along, it's okay.
Another problem I have is that every so often, it will start to sync, and then it will disconnect. I'll hear the chirps, but the green progress circle will still spin.
Anyone else have that?
Anyone discover any fixes?
Any ideas what's causing it?
Aside from that problem, so far the 1.40 ROM and standardized EXT ROM are going quite well.
I'd love to hear about what you've discovered regarding the painfully slow ActiveSync issue.
If there is another thread about this, please direct me... If not, maybe we could come together and find out what's causing this, and then perhaps we can solve it as a team.
Thanks,
Mike
If you are talking about AS via WiFI and how slow it is to make a handshake, you wont find any help here as far as how to fix this problem. No one on this board knows anything about it other than what is posted on the wiki.
I have tried upgrading and downgrading ROM, Radio ROMs, and cross grading. All kinds of ****ing ways and MS or O2 seams to just **** it up some how. Some ask you to upgrade to AS4, which in my opinion is really a downgrade because AS4 doesnt support WiFi.
Hey dude,
Actually I was just ASing through USB.
I seems like it's a lot faster now. It's picked up speed.
But sometimes it will drop the connection, so I have to take it out of the cradle and put it back.
Other problems lately are low volume, and I think my signal strength isn't as good as before.
I used to always get 40% sitting here in my basement. Now I am getting 20%'s and 30%'s.
I am excited to have the latest ROM and Radio, but the truth is, I think I was actually better off with the one that was shipped with the phone.
We'll see what comes out next...!

Actually, AS / USB works great on my unit and no disconnect at all. Do you have Wisbar Adv. installed? If so, what version/ build?
I can't comment on the signal strength since mine is always between 60 and 88% where every i go in the house.
Hey there,
Believe it or not, my AS is working flawlessly now.
No problems to report.
As for the signal strength and overall volume.. both seem to be a bit lower than before.
But it seems as if things are improving on their own!!

I you don't know what WI-FI issue I'm talking about, it's that after the 2.3 upgrade the device shuts off WI-FI and goes to 3G when the WI-FI signal is low.
So for example, when I used my Incredible S running 2.2 I had a solid, working (albeit low) connection in my bedroom. But now, after the update - the connection shuts down. This affects the Desire S and Desire HD too ofcourse.
)
Anyway, This is the mail I sent to HTC:
Dear HTC
I recently upgraded my Incredible S from 2.2 to 2.3.
Before the update, the phone would hang on to the quite low but useable wi-fi signal in my bedroom, but after the update the wi-fi disconnects and puts the phone on 3G.
My old HTC desire still holds on to the signal fine, whereas my new Incredible S loses it. (both at around -90 dBm)
After a lot of research on forums, I have noted that this is a very common problem, and many people are suffering from poor wi-fi since the 2.3 update. I suggest that you take this problem seriously.
We have localized the problem to a change in rssi threshold to -88 dBm. That is strange as this is a perfectly useable signal strength.
It is suggested that this code "error" is part of a Broadcom driver update, and not HTC's fault
You can find the code snippet here:
https://github.com/LeeDroid-/Ace-2.6.35/blob/master/drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329_204/dhd_cdc.c#L1288
Please forward this mail to your dev tech department, as this needs to change as soon as possible
People expecting an upgrade, actually got a downgrade with gingerbread
yours sincerely

OK, So I reported the Gingerbread WI-FI issue to HTC - It was sent on to some other department - and today I got this reply.
(Yes, That is some weird spelling )
Dear XXX ,
Regarding your question about the change in wifi I have gotten this information for you
Google took the decision that on a low wifi signal the device should switch to 3G. That tresshold is indeed 86 dB. This has past on to Escaltions that the customer does not like it, but we cannot solve his discontent at this moment.
I hope this answer is useful to you.

OK, Great.....
For me, the wifi capability has only increased since the update.. Weird.
I should have read all the posts about the gingerbread OTA upgrade wifi issues before I upgraded. As previously reported it seems to cut off more when the signal is weak. Fortunately I have an unlimited data plan but still like to connect on wifi at home and while traveling... Hope they get this resolved soon.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
So i recently got my HTC One 6 days ago and have no problems except this one .
When i am in the same room as my router the WiFi connection is perfect, but when i leave the room and go to any other room in the house the connection drops to either very very weak or simply no longer receives signal , all my other devices work except my HTC . I have changed the my router Channel to the least busy and still no change .
Any help or advice would be much appreciated
If this is a manufacturing problem please post so i can send this unit back for another one
thanks :good:

Imo you should return it. Mine is working fine at home in any room or floor with at least 3 bars on 4. Maybe you should try with another router first before sending it back and troubleshoot with ''wifi analyser'' from google play. hope it helps

Wi-Fi connectivity drops or not detected, how to fix it? any one can guide with detail.
How about details on your device? No one will know this answer because there's too many variable's, I can name about 20 things right now....You have to be specific. ..Are you rooted,? What rom. Case.firmware....
Any of you guys encounter major connectivity issue like no WiFi, no Bluetooth and no GPS?
I'm planning to get a used set with such issue. Presumed it's on stock firmware, probably after upgraded with such issue. Not really sure myself.
Any experts on this can help? Thank you in advance. Hope to see Huawei section alive again. Adiós...
