Hello everybody!
Someone of you has noticed a poor WiFi reception on Hero?
I'm experiencing a poor WiFi reception in my house when Hero is connect to internet thru an access point.
What happen is that after WiFi connection has been established the phone tends to loose it and restart connection thru GSM/3G link.
That happen also if phone stay in the same place without moving around and also when phone is close to access point location.
Any idea about way to solve the problem?
Regards.

Just an upgrade on issue...
If I turn off data connection thru GSM/3G and switch on WiFi seem that WiFi connection is stable so maybe issue come when both data connection are enabled...
Anyway is annoying shout down each time data connection on GSM/3D and power on WiFi!
Regards.
i believe wifi goes idle when not in use. so it connect to 3g or edge. However there is an app if not various in the market already to help keep wifi always on..
Do a search for wifi and see for yourself.

Thanks for suggestion!
At now I've solved turning off GSM/3G data connection when I'm at home anyway I guess that WiFi reception sometimes go away due to issue of the phone or maybe as way to save battery...
when that happen phone stay unconnected so I guess that should be better if I will check for apps that keep WiFi connection always working!

when the device goes into standby, the wifi is turned off to save battery poweer, and it will go back to 3G.
go into the wifi settings, press menu and select advanced.
select the timeout options
set to never and it will not turn off when in standby.
problem solved and you shouldn't have to turn off Mobile data, although with the settings widget on your homescreen turning mobile data off off each time is hardly going to ruin your life. in fact i tend to do this anyway, just cos i have spent too many years with windows mobile....
Here's an annoying bug I've found tho - on TMob UK
If I send an MMS from home, wifi on, it sits there, and doesn't send the message. Until I turn off wifi and 3G kicks in again.
Now I know for a fact that on my Magic, it was able to turn on 3g/HSPDA to send the message all by itself. Might have a look in thodse advanced settings tho to see if there is something I can do.. Not a biggie, just a bit of an annoyance.

I too, have been doing a search on Forums all over Google looking for a resolution to this.
I have noticed if Wi-Fi is enabled I am unable to send or receive MMS messages.
It is an annoyance having to turn Wi-Fi off each time also I am never to know if someone has tried to send a message in the first place.
Currently using T-Mobile G2 (rooted with MCR Rom 2.8) on T-Mobile UK
Hi guys,
I am having a problem with my Xperia X10i running R2BA026 build number and I wanted to know if any of you found a solution for Wi-Fi problem
I live in low signal area for T-mobile network. I connect my phone to Wi-Fi and it connect fine and I can use internet no problem. When I lose my signal to T-mobile network my Wi-Fi drops and then it reconnects when I have no signal but when my signal comes back then it disconnects again.
I tried couple of things such as changing Wi-Fi sleep policy to never, also I changed my network mode to GSM only, and also I entered static IP address for my phone and also changed settings on my ADSL router to remember my Xperia's mac address.
Is there any other way to resolve this issue without going back to older firmware?
Yes - it's a bug in the 026 build.. hopefully will be fixed in a couple of weeks when 2.1 lands..
Thanks. I really hope it does. Its such a hard bug for users, I mean you can be in middle of chat session and it disconnects then you have to restart the application.
I hope that comes out when they told us it would.End of September is close.
Apart from that phone is pretty good.
Odd issue after a fresh flash of Bionix NextGen...
My wireless network location will only show up in maps when Wi-Fi is on (connected or unconnected to a network), when off and when only connected to data location will not update and remain stuck at the last point I turned Wi-Fi off. I've tried flashing a new modem and wiping dalvik to no avail. (Yes, location is enabled in settings). Anyone else having a similar issue?
Edit: Apparently, the location is just not registering on 3G/HSPDA networks...I forced it to use 2G network and location immediately registered. Any ideas on how to fix this? Possibly a T-Mo network issue?
Same happened to me on AT&T network. It takes time for Google to recognize newly installed/updated towers.
Strange. Never had this issue before on HSPDA network and I'm in a location I've frequently been to. I'll just wait and see when it corrects itself.
Maybe a bad flash? I came from stock jfd..how long did it take google to recognize your location.
1-2 months.
I have some doubts because I have a gps connection problems, and when it finds satellites and connects the lost, lost power while driving as if entering a tunnel, and the time to find satellites again, I changed the file gps.conf, used gps status, gps test, aids gps and wifi coverage itself is not very powerful, I tried 7.13.35.05 and 7.13.35.13 radios, which are the last 2 and the same problem.
The rom installed is the latest update-cm-7-20120426-nightly-legend and is supposed to solve the problem and the file is already added gps.conf, but I think the problem is with the cm7.
That way I have to fix it? Changing kernel?
I have been in possession of htc desire, and when changing a radio coverage issues, gps and wifi also be changed and usually sterile solved,

Edit: I put screenshot so you can see it finds satellites but it does not start very strong and gps
Pretty much what the title says. Why is Google and android so persistent with wanting me turn my WiFi on. Even if not connected to a router they say that it helps determine location?
I know for a fact that it helps drain my battery. But I'm not convinced it would help determine my location in any way. In other words. If I have a GPS lock there is absolutely nothing that WiFi can do to help get a better lock in that situation. Also let's say that I don't have a GPS Lock but my WiFi is turned on but isn't connected to a router. Then there is nothing WiFi can do to help in that situation either. Downloading aGPS data requires Internet which is provided through the cell network not WiFi.

Because google have records of lots of wifi networks and where they are. Your phone can scan for networks, google can see if any near you are known to them and if so then they can narrow down where you are.
