WiFi signal boost !? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is this even possible? Does an app have the ability to increase wifi signal and get 40-50% faster internet ?

i think that isn't possible with app, you must change kernel or firmware.

Any app stating it increases reception/WiFi/GPS or anything dealing with hardware is false. There is apps to get a faster lock on GPS. But that's about it.

Maybe call your service provider to check if the settings are correct.

Go to system settings and then go in the option called "usage"
From there, you should be able to change the data usage warning limits, or turn off the feature entirely.
I don't even have the feature turned on to begin with

Then LINK to it. Might be others with same question.
This is the icon for Wifi direct.
You can turn it off by going into:
Settings->more settings->and there you will see Wifi direct being on

Wifi automatically turning on

I've noticed when I'm out and about that my wifi will automatically turn on without me doing anything. Has anyone else experienced this?
My only thought would be maybe a Google Now feature that's turning it on based on my location but idk.
Any thoughts?

Just a guess but did you install that battery guru app? It did the same thing to me.

Messaging App not showing pics

The message arrives with a download button. Pressing download only gives a downloading indicator, no pic. If it worked where would the pic be downloaded to? Gallery?

Solved: turn off wi-fi. Download using mobile data instead. Stupid if you ask me.

Can't say I've ever had that problem, my phone stays connected to Wi-Fi nearly 24/7 except for when driving or out eating as I have it connected to Wi-Fi at home and work. Never once have I had any issue with downloading pictures/videos sent via text while connected to Wi-Fi.

I've had this issue when coverage was spotty and it was talking a while to download. It eventually downloaded but it did take longer than normal.

Mine automatically picks up mobile data and downloads and sends the picture when connected to WiFi. Have you messed with your APNs? Have you tried flashing a new modem/radio?

Auto retrieve is enabled. I haven't messed with the APN. I have flashed a new modem. No different results.
