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
My s740 seems to work fine on my home Wifi network. But for some reason at my work network it's showing the network, but not connecting to it. It even keeps coming up saying new network found, so each time I put the WPA Key in and it will work for a while. As soon as it's disconnected it's forgotten again and I have to search and reconnect fresh every time.
What's going on? Is there a setting on the phone to sort it? Or something on my WiFi router I need to set??
I've noticed that when my phone is asleep it seems to disconnect from the WiFi network which is bad since I have bad signal at my house. Any way to force it to stay connected ?
If anyone was interested, its under advanced settings in the WiFi network. I just changed it to never sleep
Hey guys,
Wasnt sure where to post this. Have a question regarding wifi conection settings. I was on omega v34 and everything was fine. My phone connected to all wifi networks I wanted it to. I updated to v35 of the rom and now I have a strange problem.
My phone still connects to my house wifi and work wifi, but refuses to connect to my parents wireless. Ive reset their router, changed the password and removed the settings for the network on my phone. When I refresh and attempt to connect to it all I get is "authenticating" and then it will give up. It is a BT home hub and the strange thing is that my phone will connect to the 'free wifi' BTwifi-with-FON and the BTwifi, but not the proper network zone BTHub3-T2G6. Its incredibly annoying.
Are there any hidden settings in my phone that may have the wrong settings for the network in it?
Any help would be appreciated
EDIT: Just turned the security off on the network and the phone connects fine. I dont understand why the security key would cause problems as it connected before the update and the settings havent changed.
check my sig
When I deliberately turn off wifi cos there is none available I can use at work, on wake up my phone seems to always drop the 3G connection and attempt to connect to wifi, if there is a known one nearby it says connected to ' xxx hotspot' this happens when wifi is off and the connection doesnt actually get made, it then takes a while for 3G to come back on again, this is annoying as I dont have instant on data as it faffs around trying to connect to wifi when it is meant to be off.
I have a Stock phone, UK Vodafone on XXELLA version.
Is there a setting I have missed as this is starting to really annoy me now.
I wish I had kept my SGS2 as the freezing issues I keep getting and now this wifi make this a poor performing phone for the costs/specs..
