not sure why this is happening but i noticed my mi box is not working
then when i go into setting i see that the wifi is turned off in wifi setting i have to switch it back on
it is getting really annoying since i use this box to run some smarthome bridge apps
not sure why this keeps happening ,the box is right next to my router and is connected to the 5ghz band
so it should not be dropping the connection
but lets say it is dropping the connection ,then why if the wifi turned OFF ? if it drops won;t it just reconnect automatically?
are there any hidden setting i can check or change to correct this or is there some app i can sideload to fix it?

Signal overload? Try moving them at least a few feet apart? Only SWAG I got. Other than have you tried a factory reset on the MiBox?

no don't want to factory reset it
it took days to get anymote setup on it was the biggest hassle ever
no way i am going through that again
yeah it is like a foot from the router
but the thing is if it dropped wifi then isn't it supposed to reconnect on it's own or at the very least not switch the wifi to off on the settings?
Signal overload can sometimes have odd effects on hardware and the software that drives it. E.g.: Got a guy over in the Silicon Dust forums had a HDHomeRun device crashing on tuning a particular channel. He put a splitter in-line to allow him to do A:B comparisons with another device on the same antenna and the problem went away. (Splitters introduce a >1/N signal strength loss.)

but HDMI is a wired connection
wifi is wireless can
and does android really turn the wifi off if signal overload?
it did it again today i am thinking of just looking for a workaround
like maybe an automation app that i can set that if wifi turns off it turns back on again
maybe i can do it with macrodroid ,i have not used it ia long time but think it may have the right options
do you hav eany other app suggestion that might work?
other is option is that i could use a UBS to ethernet but will it slow my connection since it is USB 2.0 ?
i have a USB to ethernet adapter but i'm not sure if it will even work and it is not gigabit
not sure if it could even make us of a gigabit USB ethernet because of USB being 2.0

HDMI? The Silicon Dust HDHomeRuns are OTA (broadcast) and cable network tuners. They take OTA or cable channels and put them on a LAN. They have no HDMI connections.
The guy in question put a cable splitter on the cable from his OTA antenna so he could feed the HDHR network tuner and a Hauppague card at the same time. This results in a greater than 3dB (50%) signal reduction to each receiving device.

I did not suggest it does. Please read more carefully. I wrote "Signal overload can sometimes have odd effects on hardware and the software that drives it. " The implication being the hardware and/or software misbehaves.
Btw: That MiBox is unshielded. Being as it has internal antennas, it would have to be. That means that when you locate it right next to a transmitter you're bombarding the entire PC board with RF from that transmitter. (Coincidentally: You're doing your WiFi router's performance no favours by locating it directly next to another strong source of RF, either.)
All this is a Scientific Wild-Ass Guess based on nothing more than five decades of experience with a wide range of all kinds of hardware and, later, software, and seeing some of the most unexpected things happen. (See below for recent example.)
It's either that or the thing's simply broken.
How hard could it possibly be just to move the two apart by a few feet to test my hypothesis? N.B.: Signal strength decreases at the square of the distance (inverse square law). Thus, if you move it four feet away, as opposed to two, that second move doesn't halve the signal over the two foot move, but quarters it.

It's always better to fix it than patch it, if possible.
From the Department of Well, That Was Unexpected
I recently obtained a Silicon Dust HDHomeRun Connect Quatro network tuner. First thing I did was go to one of our traditionally most problematical channels to see how it'd perform. It was horrible. I assumed it was due to poor tuner performance. Boxed everything up to send it back. But I was persuaded to look more closely. I discovered it was actually performing better than my other tuners, and the problem appeared to be with just the one station. That station, it turned out, had a mere 60Hz carrier deviation. Insignificant. (0.000009%) They corrected it, anyway. Station reception cleaned right up. I would never have expected that in a million years.

Anyone know of a possability to have an external antenna for wifi or anything else that would help increase or focus the signal to get a better/further wireless connection ?
Any ideas are welcome even if it means working (soldering) on the actual board of the Tytn if anyone has done something similar please post your findings here.
Tytn has an external antenna connector under a little cover on the case. Wilson sells antennas and cables and such for it, plug and play.
http://www.wpsantennas.com/
Thanks for the reply Bro, but will this boost the wifi module or just the phone signal ?
Just the phone signal as far as I've read. I'm not sure though.
I'll be trying it out as soon as mine gets here and I can let ya know, I need one for trying to get reception in the rural areas I go to often.
I have read somewhere on this forum that using the atennas that plug into the port on the back are a bad idea in these phones cuz the soders on the board break easily if you do and you lose all phone signal. I couldnt find again where I read it, sorry. So be careful if you do it.
Thanks for the heads up bro, I don't mind the phone signal (aside from tunnels) but I do want to boost the wifi, I guess we're stuck with this till a better phone comes out
im sure you could maybe, make some freak monster connector for the wifi antennas? nobody has done that? isnt there some basic internal one? or how does the wifi signal get broadcast/received?
yeah its possible but I don't want to fry the board if I put something that draws more power than the board can handle (because it sends and recieves) so I wanted to see if some electric engineer or hobbyist has ventured something like this before
your better off with some wrt54g(s) with ddwrt on it and use it to connect to it and then use the wrt54 to connect to whatever it is that you want for range lol i dont know in what situation your in... if its portable then ya the router thing would not work well if in car? or some other place then that would be the best choice heh
but if your connecting external antenna then its not really that portable anymore is it
Sounds interesting... thanks for the info I look into that,
I have no problem at home or at Uni but in hotels I usually have to point the device around to catch a signal (heads up that's where the base for wifi is) and the signal is so weak it disconnects or gets real slow somewhat annoying, still better than carrying a laptop around on small trips.
i'm willing to open mine up for better wifi, i would just like a guide or atleast some pictures and pointers with do's and don'ts.
i don't NEED my hermes, but i do love it enough to want it to continue to operate.. heh.
I took mine apart already i wanted to put the bestskinever on the screen its self so while doing that i was going to check out the insides and it was a pain to get it on without any lint and stuff on still got a very small one but its nice i cut the exact size of the whole LCD not the screen dimensions
so it covers it all... anyway
i saw both BT and WIFI internal antennas there... I really did not see any connector... though something that looked like one but i didnt pay much attention it was very small maybe .200" or so
I would assume you could un solder the internal wifi antenna but i would not recommend that... as there are i believe other resistor/capacitor and hmm coil that work for the right antenna length and so on... I THINK I havent done any electronics in a long time and never bothered with such devices and or high frequencies so I would not know.
I would recommend finding some other online forums dealing with the 2.4ghz wifi stuff and learn or ask questions if its possible to make a connector for the phone.
This would be indeed a great DIY project to add to the archives
once again i would recommend that you get a cheap wrt54 put dd-wrt on it... config it properly for it to connect to other devices, they even have scripts to have it connect to open connections and the ones with strongest signal or you could config it manually through the web gui
that is far better IMO then modding your hermes heh, as i would think you would need an amplifier not just external antenna as that only might increase your sensitivity or a little better quality in signal but to boost the transmit power you would need an amplifier
http://dd-wrt.com
there you go find the right one with the right version that will work with dd-wrt they only run like 50 bucks or so… and plus you can use it for anything else… you can boost the transmit power on them as well as replace the generic antennas

According to the link above:
"Connects to external MS-147 GPS plug on compatible HTC devices. "
I don't think that the TP2 has an MS-147 GPS plug.....
uhm... is there really a GPS antenna input on the extUSB?? never heard something like this. RF connectors for 1.5 GHz are always coaxial ones.
I use Holux GPS Signal Radiator. Not sure where to buy else where, because i order it in Thailand.
It is basically have two module, one is regular antenna, and another one is adapter for car with radiator antenna. Once install, you just plug regular GPS antenna to the car adapter, and power on. it will read the signal from GPS antenna, enhance it and then Re-radiating it out with it's antenna.
This also easy to DIY, but I buy it instead.
Antenna http://www.itxpda.com/smf/index.php?topic=210.0 (in Thai, but you see the picture).
For DIY, see http://w3.pdamobiz.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=204894&PN=4 (In Thai again, but look at picture should give you some idea, also editor has some reference URL to English page. What he made was much easier than the reference though).
tkalli's link is for an ext. Antenna for the HTC Advantage and other HTC devices with a coxial GPS Antt. connector.
Since the TP2 doesn't have this type of connector that Antt. is useless.
The only product that will fit the bill is a re-radiating GPS booster antenna. An example is reviewed here: http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/reradiating.php
Hope this helps

external GPS antenna for TP2?
Hi all,
With great effort, I wired a GPS external aerial through the dash of my car, up the side of the window in the door pillar and out the hole for the FM aerial - I had my TP2 delivered on Saturday and of course, that cable is now useless.
The connector on the GPS aerial is a coaxial style connection that was fine for my old TyTN II - but not so for the TP2.
Still, I have found that the TP2 locks to satellites a lot faster than the TyTN II did, even without an external aerial - so personally, this isn't a great loss for me in any event...

Wow, Thai has really neat looking characters
I've used a Holux M1000 for the past ~2 years with my 6800. Works great, excellent battery life and reception, uses a mini USB to charge. It is about $40.
It is now sitting in the box with my 6800. I haven't used it since I activated my TP2.
Any chance this thread can be stickified? It might save repeats in the long run
Real question, not snarky
I'm confused.
Why/where would you need an extra antenna? I get 8 sats on my porch within a minute. If you are somewhere goofy wouldn't your signal get confused from going/reflecting through all kinds of materials?
This is a real question, I'd like to know. My TyTN was slow to get signals and painfully slow to lock sometimes, I can understand it there, but the rhodium seems to be in a different class all together.
Yeah, the TP2 is a damn good phone; with an up-to-date Quick GPS file, it'll lock on in double quick time. However, when I'm in the car, especially when in very built-up city areas, the reception of GPS signals goes right down the toilet at times, leading to signal loss and a marked lack of satnav capability; Short an external antenna connector, a GPS signal booster would prevent that most of the time, and it's on my family's wish list at the moment

Personally I have no problems, but some window tints and heated front screens can reduce signal significantly, leading to problems in areas that have weak signal like urban canyons or under tree canopies.

Hello. I received my Omate US Version, 8Gb a few days ago, stock version of the system (reinstalled after trying the excellent Lokifish Marz firmware).
The Bluetooth connexion seems very poor for music transmission with Bluetooth headsets or speakers; when I move to watch more than 10 centimeters (about 4 inches) away from the Omate interference starts (the music "stutters") and connection stops completely (disconnects) at about 20-30 centimeters. Can't listen to music consistently while moving my arm (... when I walk).
Could there be an hardware issue with the Bluetooth antenna?
I tried rebooting, turning Bluetooth on and off multiple times, even reinstalling the firmware (the issue was present with the Lokifish Marz firmware).
I'm trying to listen simple 128 kbps mp3 (non VBR). (I discovered the issue while listening 192 kbps vbr, I taught it was the problem...).
The only way I manage to have a smooth playback is by putting the Omate in the same pocket as the receptor of the Bluetooth headset, or with a Bluetooth emitter clipped to the watchband (I tried with three different Bluetooth headsets and also a Bluetooth speaker that works perfectly with my other phones.
Thanks for your advices and suggestions.
Lose antenna connector. Request a replacement.
My bluetooth connection to my stereo in my car also stutters and disconnects. I also have a hard time connecting.
Just so folks will not get the wrong idea, on my stock 1/8/1900 TrueSmart with 20140120 firmware, the Bluetooth is excellent for music and phone both in my car or with BT headphones, and BT keyboard. It will also connect to the keyboard and another BT device at the same time. Range is excellent, 15 meters or more.
Lots of other Bluetooth issues, but these reports sound like antenna problems. Assembly on some TrueSmarts was very poorly done.

I've only tried to exercise with it once while using Bluetooth and the same thing happened (switched back to my iPod after 2 minutes). I am currently on stock and plan to go back to the newest patch. I will try on both stock and patch and see if it's still happening. I hope this is indeed not an issue of poor assembly.

Wow, okay just tested (both mp3 and movies stored on both internal and SD). When connect to Bluetooth, any movement causes stutter and pausing. When off bluetooth, no problems.
I've already removed the back cause went I flashed the ROM there were issues that require a battery pull and I installed an SD card. Not to mention, I emailed support over a week ago for another issue (now resolved) and no response.
Hope this can be fixed because this device is worthless if I can't run with it using Bluetooth!
I have a Jabra Sport BT headset. I've used it with 2 different MotoactV and now this TS. Same signal issue on all of them. So I dont think it's the TS. I always had to wear both my MA and now TS on my right hand when using the headset while running.

You have to open the back, remove the battery, unscrew two internal screws to remove a black plastic shield under the battery.
Then you peel a silver sticker off the shield and using a splooger carefully lift the black plastic shield out. The way they assembled the TrueSmart, there is probably areas where white sealant sloppily applied is going to need to be removed enough to get the black plastic out. It should just lift out, but don't count on that...be careful lifting off the charging connector ribbon cable.
Once you are under there, you will see all the antennas for all stuff, including Bluetooth. They pop onto connectors on the main board, like little ball and socket connectors. Your Bluetooth one might just be touching, not popped on - sounds like it. Has been seen before.
Voids all sorts of warranties, probably, but that's your call.

Just did some more testing and it seems its not exactly just movement. Whenever the TS is within 1 foot of the Bluetooth device it works much better. 1-2 feet away and it comes and goes with movement. More than 2 feet and no sound. Could this still be a loose antenna?
I get 20-30ft with little issue so I would say yes.
I just want to say that I get stuttering issues in my car stereos connection, but when I connect my plantronics bluetooth headset, I can leave my watch in my room and walk 20 feet away and get perfect call clarity. My watch works perfectly with my bluetooth call headset, but will not work when I'm in my car connecting to my stereo. I would suggest trying to bluetooth connect with several devices, not just headphones, before messing with the antenna connections. At first, I thought it was faulty hardware, but after getting a perfect connection with my headset, I now think the connection on the board is solid, must be something else

I just removed everything and the connect seems to be solid tight. I made sure it was touching anything else and closed it back up very well. Still with the same Bluetooth issue. Funny thing is it works in the car bluetooth okay. I don't have another Bluetooth to test with music but my phone works with the headphones well. Not sure what next. I may install the patch and see if that makes any difference but I'm guessing not?

Wifi in mine works fine. You probably have a defective unit.
The guy in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2676293 is talking about having trouble with his bluetooth. Some people said the antennas are not all firmly secured in all the devices. Since BT and wireless use the same antenna connector, you may want to check your watch and see if yours is not firmly attached.

I have Jaybird Freedom Sprint Bluetooth headsets that I use to workout with. I tried pairing with them on my Omate. It will pair but the sound still comes out of the speaker on the watch. Is there something I can do to fix that as the headset works great. Thanks for any help!
I have have a pair of Jaybirds, and mine did the same thing. What worked was the Omate ran out of juice and after recharging and Turing back on it has worked perfectly every since. You may also need to to set the Jaybirds as default for miix and phone calls under Bluetooth settings.

Where the heck are the bluetooth settings, not quite in your face if you know what I mean.
Yeah, so I don't see in the watch where those Bluetooth settings are to set the Jaybird up as default. Maybe you can help guide me to where that is. Not sure if it matters but it is stock. I also drained the battery but it didn't do anything. If you have a speific process maybe you could lay it out for me and see what happens. Thanks again for the help!
Go to settings. Then wireless and networks. Then Bluetooth. Select Jaybird make sure phone and media audio are selected.

I found the options and it was set as you stated above. Still didn't connect. But, I did a hard reset and tried again and it wored fine, now the issue is that when I turn the headsets on they should connect to the watch but doesnt automatically and I have to re-pair each time.
Glad you got it to work. Not sure why you have to repair each time.

I have the earlier 1/8 US firmware. I use the Altec Lansing Backbeat 903 Bluetooth(Also sold as Plantronics under same model name and number) headset that I picked up from a garage sale today. Great Bluetooth stereo sound! I absolutely get no sound cuts when worn on my wrist(Which is 2ft away when arm extended) no matter how I move my arms. Have you tried disabling the quickboot feature in Settings >> System >> Accessibility? That feature is causing problems with wifi and bluetooth due to the firmware from what I've been told before.
Thx for your reply! :good:
I tried disabling the quickboot feature and also flashed Loki's EnSec-firmware, but the problem is still the same. :crying:
I have come to the conclusion that we can't always blame the truesmart with the bluetooth issues. I have a bluetooth audio receiver plugged into my hifi system but I can only stream to it in very close contact i.e. about 10cm maxiumum. However same setup on watch connected to my August EP60 headphones (which are amazing btw) yielded very different results. After connectin established I started music streaming and took off my watch and leaving it downstairs went for a walk round my house including upstairs. No loss of connection with several meters distance and no dropouts at all. Happy because I bought the August EP60's specifically to use with Truesmart.

Hi,
I'm listening to music from my TS through my bluetooth earphones right now... apart from the occasional split second stutter, I'm very impressed.... I can see how this would be a killer device for the gym or joggers etc, I'm so impressed im going to try and find a smaller pair than my backbeats!

Good to hear this, so i still have hope.
What's about your WiFi connection... my maximum range is 3 to 5 meters away from the router (same room, no walls between).
With my stock TrueSmart I get Bluetooth solid from 3 rooms, 32 ft min before blittiness starts. WiFi is even farther.
