Hello All,
My friend recently bought an HTC sensation and he says that his phone has a function which would automatically seek internet connection to assist with its reception when the phone detects a poor reception signal.
I was just wondering if there are any ways the xperia x10 could also achieve this capability as my phone has been dropping calls in my apartment. ( it would have full bar then suddenly turn to no bar before reappearing of having full bars) Thanks for the help!

Hi, I've only recently bought an HD2 and I'm absolutely loving it. The only real issue I'm having is with frequent network dropouts. This tends to happen when it's switching H to 3G and back, they're only brief but I've missed plenty of calls because of it. I don't mind mucking about with the phone and I've searched and found plenty of solutions to try and I'm currently trying different radio's.
To get to the point my question is this, does anybody know of anyway to get an audible notification when connected and disconnected from the network? I realise there's an icon change but as I'm not always looking at the screen then audio would be great while I'm testing.
Thanks
Hello everyone,
I own a Samsung Galaxy S2 and a HTC Desire HD. I am absolutely thrilled with so many things on the SGS2 but lately I've found that the wireless signal strength on my HTC Desire HD seems to be a lot stronger than my SGS2.
I've checked this holding both phones in the exact same spot connecting to the same router and found that the bars on the HTC always seem higher than the SGS2.
Thinking it just might have something to do with the way the phones were displaying the strength - I placed both phones in one location and found that the HTC was streaming music seamlessly but the SGS2 was losing signal strength and had to keep rebuffering and in some cases lost signal completely and I had to walk back to a strong spot and restart the wifi on the phone for it to pick up again.
Has anyone else been facing these issues?
Both phones are running Android 2.3.3 - is there any fix out there for it? I remember reading somewhere that this had to with Gingerbread on Samsung as this problem was faced earlier on the Samsung but after updating to Gingerbread the problem reappeared.
Anyone know if there's any fix for this to boost signal strength?
Much thanks in advance for any help offered.

Signal strength or inaccurate bars use tool to measure signal strength is the only measure of the wifi .

Thanks for the quick response - I will try that out.
But what I'm finding is the the current default wi-fi bars on both handsets seem accurate.
Holding the SGS2 and the HTC DHD in the exact same spot & streaming music from Winamp - the HTC plays the music uninterrupted whereas the SGS2 keeps losing the connection and has to buffer again.
I had seen some earlier threads that this was a problem on the SGS as well but it was fixed later. And then the Gingerbread update came out and the problem was back again.
Is this the case for anyone else. Seeing as they fixed it before is anyone aware of a fix for this to boost the wi-fi signal reception?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

Hey all,
I'm new to the forums, having recently switched from iOS to Android. So if this is a repost, I apologize, but I did not see this problem anywhere (to my knowledge).
I have an Inspire 4G on AT&T, and I have only one problem with it:
When I am sitting at my desk at school, I have full bars of HSPA+. However, when I put my phone down for a certain amount of time, and turn on the screen, it says I have no bars. When I finally get bars back, I receive all the texts that were sent to me at once. As you can imagine, this can be a pain, and it causes me to miss texts/calls that need to be answered in a timely fashion. Anyone have any ideas? I just updated to gingerbread, and I have "always enable data" set to on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I've been having the following problem with my S2. Rarely the phone will show full bars, but at the same time have no reception of either voice or data. I only realise there is a problem when I find out someone has been calling me and been unable to reach me at which point a restart fixes the problem. Last time this happened I checked and found signal strength stuck at -87 dBm even as I moved around the house. Apart from the improbability that the the signal strength should remain constant as I moved around, my house has very poor reception at most rooms and -87 dBm is far too good to be a true number.
This is a very infrequent problem that has happened just three times in the past six months and I haven't been able to find anything online that would offer a solution. Therefore I'd appreciate any help this community can offer.

Maybe kinda far-fetched but when I think about it seems possible, from technical perspective.
Is there an app which can help to trace a person lost in avalanche, buried under the snow? We have two phones connected via bluetooth/wifi and both are receiving gps signal, one burried under the snow and the other one above searching for survivor. Maybe even without gps, just figuring out where is the missing person by bluetooth/wifi signal strength.
What do you think guys, possible?
