Router WI-FI: how to increase signal - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I'm using the default application "Router WI-FI" on HD2.
I'd want to know if there is some setting (maybe in system reg?) useful to increase the WI-FI signal
(in SETTINGS-->CONNECTIONS-->WI-FI-->ADVANCED (I don't know if translation is correct, my WM is in Italian) I've already set BETTER PERFOMANCE)
... with this setting if I'm in the same room of HD2 I can connect an other device but if I go in another room (the next room, not upstairs...) the connection isn't any more possible... the signal is too poor
Thanks

No idea?

Doubt you can do any more than the best performance setting as the hardware in terms of antenna is biggest issue.
You could try WMWiFi Router software & see if that gives better signal performance as it is now offered free

My dear, u do 1 thing u replace windows with android...
WIFI works great.

Works fine with WM6.5.5 & WMWiFi Router.
If signal range is weak either you are trying go beyond the ability of the hardware or you have the HD2 issue with poor connection on spring contacts to the WiFi antenna (sometimes caused by bad/careless handling on repaired devices)

In my opinion the wifi works ok.
I can connect the HD2 to other wifi nets also if they haven't a so good signal.
It seems only when the HD2 has to be a router that the signal transmitted is poor :/

*********Do i need to do some setuping or something?? for strengthen the wifi signal? ( I tried the WIFI utility but it doesn't show any difference)
Please let me know.. HOW...guide please...*************
and also, When i tried to connect with WINDOWS LIVE or messenger, even though wifi was on and was connected it kept saying
"Contact your cellphone Provider or change your internet settings.."
I don't get it why I think it's something to do with my WIFI connectivity..like weak signal..maybe
So basically, my question is
***HOW TO make wifi signal stronger? is there any wait to alter it ? using program maybe or..registry??
Please HELP me out ...noob here... I don't know nothing...
Also is there any way to reduce battery power? ATOM LIFE consumes a lotta battery .......... i found..
I willl wait for your GREATEST HELP Pro users !!!
HELP ME !! thanks.
omg
nobody has an idea..?
Wifi.. singnal strength is purely based on Hardware..
WiFi of O2 seems mis-leading you, first just check whether the WiFi signal did has a problem on your O2 by checking --> Settings --> Connections -- WiFi. (1) Then Check WiFi Utiltity (2) For some reason if (1) DID NOT goes to then screen with Preferred APs / search APs When (2) WiFi is turned ON, then probably your O2 has a software problem / crash. just backup everything and hard reset it with a clean boot (NO backup restore and no software installed). Try to use the MSN again by WiFi and see if the connection goes well.

Flyer beginner needs serious help

As a newbie I am at a loss as to how i can resolve a number of issues i have with my flyer so please be gentle .....
My flyer says.it has
Android 3.2.1
HTC Sense 1.1 for tablet
Software Number 3.55.405.1
Kernel 2.6.35.10 Baseband 20.4801.30.0822u_3822.10.08.07_m Build 3.55.405.1 cl205068 releasekeys Browser WebKit 534.13
What I know.....
1. GPS never works, it is always 'searching' but never finds
2. WiFi works OK
3. Mobile HSDPA says Signal strength -75 dBm 18asu at the moment and I do not have a Wifi connection available so i was expecting all my connections would route through mobile connection (as i enabled 'Always on mobile data') but nothing that requires a connection is working ?!
4. I recently accepted an auto update for the OS and now I do not have the Icon target for the Pen even when i use the Pen tutorial !!
I have read the HTC user guide for the Flyer but it does not even come close to explaining how the connectivity works and all i want to be able to do is maintain a connection thru either wifi or GSM at all times yet is seems that even though i have a working SIM in the device (which has credit and says it is connecting) it never works when i don't have wifi. There is also no 'connection overview' page that i can find that tells me what connections are working on my flyer (GPS,wifi,GSM etc) and what strength signal they have !!!!
All advice, help or pointers gladly accepted at this point for any of the above queries
thnx
I am not sure if there is a solution short of gaining s off or HTC dev unlock or rolling back to gingerbread
Flyer
Thnx for the reply
Is how to do any of that detailed in this forum anywhere plz?
If you want to downgrade there is this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26773618
I think either way you will want to gain s off so that you can freely flash roms and hopefully solve your problem. There is risk though.
So if I understand you correctly you have no WiFi and very weak data connection? Has it always been this way?
Flyer
Don't know how to 's off' ? Is that a setting on the Flyer somewhere?
I am sorry I was not specific enough. What I should have said was that the Flyer functions fine on a Wifi connexion as far as i have seen but when there is no Wifi connexion available then i expect it to use the SIM card data connexion (GSM). I had set this option on the flyer under 'Wireless & networks \ Mobile Network Settings
I also do not appear to have anyway to see what connexions are in use for any of the apps or what signal strength is currently available for 'active' connexions
Can you not just go under settings then check wireless and networks? And what was the bit about the pen?
S off is not a setting you just click off, it is the process of unsecuring your bootloader which I do not suggest for you.
Have these problems always been there or are they new? Did you just get the flyer?
Flyer
In the settings that i have it only says 'Turn On' wifi and 'notify when open network is available' but it gives me no idea of the signal strength of any network (wifi or GSM or even GPS)i am connected to so i never know when i am switching betwen wifi or GSM or even which i am using for any app (IE, Weather, SKYPE, etc)
The pen icon was appearing when i first got the flyer but now it does not appear anywhere at any time in any app!! funny thing is it actually works when i use the tutorial up to the point where the tutorial tells you to tap on the pen config icon ... it is not visible !! I think the pen got trashed when i accepted the last update from HTC
GPS never works regardless and i was under the impression that GPS does not need either wifi or GSM to function!!
Yes, i just got the flyer a week ago
This will be a stupid question but you have an active sim in and you are sure it is a 3g model? I would first suggest running the hc ruu for your device which I know you do not know what that means and it may be hard to find
Flyer
Regarding cell network connectivity: If the Flyer was purchased for anyone but your cell carrier, you probably need to manually enter the APN info for your carrier. This is a common mistake by people who buy unlocked phones, etc. from 3rd party sources. Its easily fixed, and much easier than S-Off, RUU, etc. (which won't fix your problem anyway, if its simply caused by missing APN). You can get your carrier's APN info often by just Googling for it, or just call your carrier and ask for it.
You should find the APN info in Settings>Mobile network, or something like that (I have the WiFI-only Flyer, and its also not with me, at the monent).
The missing pen icon is odd. Does the pen do anything if you touch the screen? Make sure the pen still has battery, and try taking the battery out and re-inserting it. Factory reset may also help.
Did not think of the apn angle

[Q] WiFi fluctuating issues

Since this problem has not been resolved on other threads where it has been asked, i'll start a new thread for this
I have a Rogers (GSM) EVO 3D.. Got it last month.. On stock RUU and as well as Yoda's ICS ROM (Yoda's Kernel), the wifi automatically keeps turning off and on when its enabled.. tried flashing Stock RUU again but that also is unable to solve this problem..
Can this be a Hardware issue?? any insights plz..
It's definitely not a solution to your problem, but you might try installing Wifi Analyzer which is free from the Play Store to gather more information. WiFi drops can sometimes be attributed to channel conflicts between multiple access points, and that tool will help you see how strong your signal is and what might be interfering.

ramjet73.. thanks a ton.. interesting observation.. my wifi router is placed hardly meters from my desk with almost no blockage is between. normally the signal strength is -85dBM. but when wifi analyzer is switched on it increases to -65dBM(goes down once its closed..
Its currently on Channel 6 and all the channels are with full star ratings.
Only devices attached to my router is a wired desktop, and on wifi a laptop and 2 android phones.
The problem has not occurred while wifi analyzer was switched on.
Will update after further observation.
another option could be to go into you settings and while in the wifi section, hit menu and and go to advanced and check the box for best wireless etc...
That might help as well.

Did That.. After this and ramjet73 work around.. noticed that the drop is happening only when its in sleep mode. wifi always awake is ON.. but stil its better then before.. will flash a new hboot, kernel and rom and see if that works..
ps - i have stopped using wifi for a day and i mostly keep phone on 2G (main use is whatapp and gmail) the battery life doubled

What is wifi network "0x"?

I've noticed that whenever my wifi is on, and also the "always scanning" option is on - my phone suddenly connects to a network called "0x".
It doesn't really work - there is no internet. It happened in different places, inside and outside my country.
Does anybody know what it is?
UP
Old post, but happened something similar to me. Sometimes when I have just connected to my wifi network and I look on the menu it displays "0x". Your phone was probably connected to a public wifi or just bugged.
Still doesn't explain it though
In my understanding, the 0x is a garbage SSID that indicates that WIFI configuration data is obsolete.
Ite wonderful if u ask me ☺?
I booked a hotel room and when i arrived thr...my device got connected to Ox wifi and it has over 2Mbps speed...so i was curious about this Ox wifi hotspot so i searched on google and i found ur post and now i am more curios about it. What the hell is going on lol...
.
In my opinion it may have some connection with rooted devices bcz my device is rooted and i have samsung s8 as well and it neither finds this Ox wifi nor gets automatically connected☺:fingers-crossed:
Edit: As far as I see, it might a bug of Android with special cases of bad connection. Like it connects somehow, but can't get SSID. Turning on "avoid poor wifi" seems to fix it.
Same here. I've saved two wifi connections: one is my home network, other one is a network of free wifi transmiters offered by my ISP (UPC Wi-Free). My phone is Motorola Moto G with Android 5.1. It's not rooted and never has been.
I live around elder people and there were no strangers so I doubt some grandma suddenly established malicious network. Probably a bug, but the bug of what? Android? Some external software? I use Nova Launcher and Wigle Wi-fi. Do you?
0x seems to be prefix of hexadecimal numbers, but it doesn't make much sense. It wouldn't mean "hexadecimal zero" (which would be 0x0), but "hexadecimal nothing".

I've seen it too, then the actual SSID of my home network appears. Maybe Android shows '0x' when it doesn't know the name of the network it's on.

Wifi switcher for a home with two SSID

Hi:
In my home I have two WiFis in separated points to cover all space with a good signal. There are two SSIDs.
My mobile (Samsung S10 Plus) doesn't change automatically from one SSID to the other. If I want a stronger signal I need to make the change manually. I have tested some apps but non of them work or only work for some time. Of course I have given them priority in energy consumption.
Some of the apps I have tested give the message that they are changing to the prefered SSID but really they don't.
I think it shouldn't be so difficult to make an app that tests the signal power and changes for one SSIS to another preferred one. Perhaps it is a problem of my S10 Plus with Android 10.
Any ideas??
No responde, sadly...
I've put the same name for the two SSID but WiFi doesn't change from one router point to the other. I need to make the change by hand disconnecting WiFi from my mobile and connecting it again.
This is very annoying. Really doesn't anyone know any solution it it does exist....
