This is my two screenshot, one from my mini-running fxp cm9 and other from my htc evo 3d-running stock ics.
And see how 3d evo have much better wifi signal receiving then mini. Same distance from routers... why sony is such worst then others????

Bigger phone, better wi fi receiver probably?
On my active, sitting right next to the router i have "poor signal" in phone info...
I thing that is a minor bug in signal detection. I have seen this on my LWW when I was so close to my router and the signal came to 1 bar, but speed was fast

Ever since I've had my Atrix, the wifi randomly switches off. My question is: should I exchange my Atrix, or is there a way to fix this?

I think the Atrix's WiFi radio is just weak. My mom's iPhone gets 3 bars of WiFi across the house from my router, but my Atrix drops to two bars if I just go into the next room. My Atrix struggles to hold one bar across the house. It sucks, but then again, I am using the crappy router that comes with U-Verse.
I exchanged some PMs with a moto dev about this a few weeks ago. I have a weak wifi signal at work and it will drop if I start using marketplace or facebook extensively. Part of his/her PM:
The "bars" shown by the UI have pretty big margin of error but RSSI reading less then -80 pretty much puts link at the lowest end of the budget. Also that does not account for interference really because Wifi is simple technology. So if you are at -80 at a workplace that has tons of 2.4 RF you will have disconnects and many retransmissions. This is why using of the market place probably triggers something in IC because you have lots of data and error counters go up a lot.

If you're talking about a weak signal, there is nothing to do for that unless you increase your router's transmit power. If it drops, then go to wifi settings > menu capacitive button > wifi sleep policy > never.
I changed the wifi sleep policy and it still switches off randomly. The wifi will still switch off randomly even if I'm sitting right next to my wifi source.

What battery settings are you using? Is it power saver? Set it to performance, if so.

For the sake of testing, try disabling all security to see if the wifi connection is ok or not while sitting next to your wireless router. Also, could you let us know what kind of wireless router you are using (make and model#), and the type of securtiy you aare using, e.g. WEP/WPA/WPA2&TKIP, etc?
I have tried on 3 different modems, the current one I'm using is a wireless router WGR614 V9 with wpa security, I tried switching it off and I still had the same problem. The other 2 where in encrypted and still disconnected me. I also have the problem at ATT hotspots.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
that's not good. If you're up for it, reflash with stock and try wifi with nothing installed. If you still get the disconnects then get a replacement.
What does reflashing to stock entail? Is it as easy as ODIN?

download from moto here. I haven't done it, but it looks more safe/less painful than an SBF flash.
I'm already at the latest version, through all the updates I've always had the same problem. I'm not seeing a stock firmware download.

[Q] Does amaze not show "sync" with Google through service and/or Wi-Fi bars?
So I don't consider myself a true noob but I can't figure this out and nobody at t mobile could answer this...
On my N1 (both when rooted and stock) the service bars and wi-fi indicator in the status bar would change colors based on whether or not the phone was able to sync with Google.
Does the Amaze not do this?
I really don't care much if not but it's just strange to see my bars and wi-fi in white and not green (or some other color once this bad boy is running a custom rom)

It doesn't show as it has custom firmware from HTC.
It will show when you install vanilla gingerbread or custom roms.

I don't really understand why HTC removed it. It doesn't improve performance and it actually looks better. But for some reason, they consciously decided to go in and remove it.

Right I got me a bit of an issue.
Dunno if it's been covered by someone already, but there's only so much the search bar can do from my phone.
I am using X10i I am on O2-uk
Even when I am sat next to someone that has full 3G signal, I am totally unable to get anything.
I've had this phone for just a year now an idea have never had a 3G signal. The best I can do is get H
The status bar claims to have 3G bit as soon as I try an use the connection, for ANY reason, it instantly switches back over to H
So basically my issue is........ WTF!?!?
Why not ant I connect to through 3G? And does anyone else have this problem? Is there fix for it? An app or something I'm missing?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
The infamous "H" ...
From what I understand H is better than 3G...in fact its 3.5G! Increased download speeds when compared to regular 3G..
"H"is a good thing..
Sent from my X10 using XDA App
Really? If that's the case then I should have seen 3G at some point in the last year when I had worse signal???
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Nope. Afaik 3g depends on availability in your area. Not related to signal strength.
Sent from my X10 using XDA App
Yeah mate the h is for hsdpa which is, as said above, better than 3g.
Edit: if phone can't get hsdpa it will go for 3g. If it can't get 3g it will search for edge (will just have an e). If it can't get e then u need to stop living on mars as u ain't got no mobile internet.

You can't really complain some people have issues even getting 2g while your having 3.5g

Thanks guys. I was under the impression 3G was better than H

I have had my Xperia ray for around a month now, and it's annoying me every so often the data connection seems to hang, the upload and download symbols near the signal strength just flash on and off and I get connection time-outs or sometimes it goes extremely slow like dial up speeds. Sometimes I attempt to reload the page and the data connection comes back to life, it's so annoying, especially when I am using it as a wifi hotspot on my PC. I am using the right settings, I am on T-Mobile UK and using the access point name general.t-mobile.uk. Prior to the Sony Ray, I had a Nokia 6700 classic which was totally faultless, so I know it can't be the network. I am currently using baseband 72 with JJDoctor's GBlite rom. I know it suggests using baseband 58 but it's just the same no matter what baseband I use or if I use ICS or Gingerbread. I really would love to get this data connection problem sorted once and for all, it's so annoying. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
I got the same problem, any solution?
Sent from my ST18i using xda premium
So it looks like I am not the only one. What baseband are you using?
Basebands 70 and up are ICS basebands so you will encounter probs when using them on GB the highest GB base band you can use is 66, use the search button I have explained basebands already . If you don't know what baseband fits your rom libs then post a question in your roms thread asking the dev what version it is based on and go from there and finally please post questions in the correct sections and don't junk up the dev section

I have the same problem, now i'm with jj 3.1 rom and 72 baseband, sometimes need to go in airplane mode then tne data connection restart, sometimes need to reboot the phone.
I've the same problem on Sony stock firmware, all version..
Guys are your network carriers making any improvements in your area's? If they are then that would cause your probs. The only times i have had any probs with signal is if I have had the wrong bb or my carrier has been upgrading their network that's it.

I have tried all the roms on my ray and never have any probs with my data connection and I do a lot of surfing and heavy downloading however if I use a different carrier then the data service is just slow and backs up even with hsdpa connection. My current carrier are fast reliable and never drop out on me. Devstaffandroid I thought you would know a lot more than me about this considering you are building a cm9 rom for the x8 ??

It's a problem when the phone goes to sleep. I have this problem all the time when tethering to my laptop. Unless my phone is awake (screen on) it doesn't loose connection. But soon as it turns off, BAM! Connection lost until I wake it up.

It's definitely the phone as you say. I had a Nokia 6700 classic and it never happened on that. T-mobile internet is spot on 99% of the time. Anyway, try what I tried, use baseband 66 and force your phone to stay in 3G only mode. It appears to work upto now.

I can't take my phone in 3g all the time because in some places of my city don't take signal and because if always in 3g my battery doesn't arrive at the end of the day...
Not sure what the deal is, but my OG has the worst WiFi reception. Multiple routers to test as well. Just poor reception every network. WiFi will drop out often, and the signal is kinda whack. It'll show full strength then drop to a circle and eventually drop out after and reconnect with like 2 bars.
Anyone else having this issue?

It would be best to provide additional details. Are you using a custom ROM or are you stock? Are you rooted/unlocked? When did the issue start?
Running the JB Canada Rom. I didn't have it long before I unlocked the bootloader. But right around when I rooted it, I suppose. It's been a universal problem though through different roms. I've only flashed a CPU kernel, but it shouldn't be active anymore.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I don't have any of those issues on a stock phone with the current software version. I've used it with an Airport Extreme and a myriad of others wherever I'm at. I've never had a problem that was the phones fault.
After I made sure that the ATT smart wifi app was happy after I got the phone all has been well. That app seems to be the common thread running through all of these threads.

I also have funky Wi-Fi issues with the JB ROM. It'll be working fine and just drop for no reason. Disabling and reenabling fixes it temporarily. I've read it's a common issue in 4.1. Annoying.
