Hello all,
I've been using the wifi-hotspot lately on my SGT GT-P300. I only just noticed that when doing so, the divice is sharing the 3G connection.
My question is if it's possible to share my own wifi connection instead of 3G? So the SGT acts like some sort of router?
Must be easier to just connect direcly to the router instead of sharing the wifi thru the pad?
As far as I know wifi-hotspot is only for sharing the 3g connection.
If you already have a wifi network it must be better to connect directly to that with another device.
Very true, but my wifi signal in my room is weak and keeps disconnecting atleast once every 2 minutes. For my Nexus S and Galaxy S II that is, SGT signal is as strong as it can get.

Hi,
New to the sgsII forum after finally divorcing my x10i.
Does anyone else suffer from a weak wifi signal.
Could be standing next to the router and still not have full signal and a much decreased signal strength compared to the x10i at any distance from the router.
Many thanks
Kieron

Nope my WiFi is fine, my phone can even connect from outside the house. Maybe its your router that's the problem. Try another wireless network to see if that works ok?

Thought that but wifes x10 and ipod have no pronlem with signal strength.

How are you measuring signal -DB or just using the not very accurate wifi indicator .
You could check if your firmware has an upgrade .
jje
Yes may be due to quite a few reasons...
As mentioned in the above post... try upgrading the firmware of router (if theres any)..to start with...
if it doesnt works..or no firmware upgrade available for your router..
install free app wifi analyzer from market..
check the router channel ...from the app... there might be some interference with neighbours...change the router channel..if theres any interference...
in the wifi analyzer the router signal strenght should be above above -60dB/-50dB...
if thats the case...the wifi signal indicator on status bar may not be accurate...(showing low signal)
Hello,
I can browse internet only in room with router and near router rooms.
Will i able to use wifi in any room in house with this device(s) ?

Sv: Can wifi repeater resolve room wifi ?
Yes,it will help. I have one, but not same model and it increased a lot my wifi range. I can have my Prime connected to my house Internet with full bars anywhere I am inside the house. It is a very cheap solution as I got mine for something like $65.

So i notice that my ultra usually shows 2 bars of wifi. it goes up to 3 and then drops down to 2, even though my router is in the same room.
My laptop has shows full wifi strength and even my wife's iPhone shows full wifi bars.
should i be concerned?

download an app from the playstore, and see what signal strength you are actually getting. It may just not be displaying the two bars.
However I do find that my wifi only works 13-15m away Max. Disappointing as my old Galaxy Note has better reception.
Sadly Sony only included a/b/g/n **but not ac** with their wifi modem...

i downloaded wifi analyser.
i am testing the signal strength on the app. the phone shows 3 bars of wifi and the app shows the signal in green (strong).
so not sure what this means lol
I don't like when I connect to my 5Ghz router speed. It's kind of weird guys...feels like delay/slow. And my regular 2.4Ghz is perfectly fast.
Are you using a CM/AOKP based Rom or stock?
I and others have noticed significantly worse wifi reception vs stock.

CM10 based ROM's for the Ultra have a problem reporting/ displaying signal status.

Even for wifi signal? Thought it only affected cellular signal being stuck at 2 bars?
I found that it frequently disconnected and reconnected, with no reception in some areas that would be fine in stock and instead resorting to cellular data. Also when the screen was off it was frequently running off cellular data more often than not.

so do you guys get full signal bars for your wifi when near your router? maybe in the next room from the router?
i am thinking my ultra's wifi may be defective. my router is in the next room and all other devices show full wifi strength but the ultra shows 2 bars
Yes full bars usually in all parts of my house (up stairs and down stairs) for wifi (router upstairs)
Have you tried doing a phone repair through pc companion and updating the firmware?
i actually did repair the software and update.
Same results.
Can't say i've noticed any WiFi issues. I have full bars, and i live in a two story concrete apartment and i have a signal all over the place, and on top of that the router is quite ****ty. I'm on .257.

well its not only the wifi. today i was out and tried using the navigation app for turn by turn directions. the gps picks up my location when standing still but while moving the gps doesn't keep up. it shows me at the same location i was 5 mins ago.
i think the radios are messed up on this phone.
My GPS was very accurate. google maps and 'backcountry navigator' worked very well. HSPA+ was pretty good. signal was strong (about the same as my Galaxy S4) wifi wasn't as good as my S4.

Hmm, have you tried doing a full factory reset, or any other things? If not, do that, and if it's still not working correctly then send it in to a service center. Also, do you have the chance to try a different router, or WiFi network? The thing is to see if it's a software issue or hardware.
Hmmm...you know what? Most times I really do not care how many bars of wifi signal is displayed, but how fast the connection is. Travelling through the different locations and using hotel wifis usualy shows me 2-3 bars, but speed is very appropriate and connection stable. So maybe just this perfectionist detail is awaring you. If connection and speed of wifi was poor or permanently on the way of disconnect, that would be a problem for me...
I've had no issues with Wifi performance on the Z Ultra, I'm in the room next to the router and currently showing full bars. (Draytek 2710n)

Same here, no issues with any radio signals on the phone. If I need Wi-Fi, I always connect to 2.4Ghz for added range since I rarely need to transfer large files. Otherwise with regards to transfer speeds and signal strength, it's easily on par with other wireless devices at any range.
As the title suggests, all of a sudden my wifi and data signals are very weak, wifi being the most affected. If I'm not 15 ft from my router the phone is barely working over wifi. I have a galaxy s7 on the same network and it is not being affected by any slow speeds.
Any suggestions as to what is causing this poor signals all of a sudden?

Maybe it would be a good idea to post this in the Ressurection Remix thread then
Flash stock Rom. If problem persists it's hardware related.
Thanks I'll try that.

Clean up your network router
I struggled with the same problem off and on and I think I finally figured it out. In my research I discovered that routers cater to the weaker signals by boosting power to them and robbing it from other devices. I changed my network password on my wireless router and logged in with my laptop. I got screaming fast speeds where before I was getting nothing. Of course I was the only device logged on. I then went around the house and reconnected all of my devices to the network with the new password. With a family of five, we have nearly 20 devices connected at the same time. I still have blazing speeds. I also deactivated the "guest" account on the router. I suspect that a neighbor or one of the kids' friends was connected when they came over and the router was still connected when they went home, thus stretching the signal to reach them. Anyhow, I essentially "cleaned" my network of any old or stray devices and I am enjoying full speed access on all my devices that were constantly buffering or cutting out. It won't boost your signal but it should clean up how your signal is shared. Hope it helps.
Check ur firmware. It may be due to old modem
