Hello Friends,
I was wondering if there are any apps that may boost the wifi range on the x10i. I noticed that there are a good portion of my house that my x10 cannot get a wifi signal, or that the signal is extremely weak. I tested at the same spot with a laptop and an ipod touch, and it seems that the wifi signal for those two devices are full. Therefore, I think that the problem is with the x10. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Thanks so much!
Hi all,
I have the Razr since two days and the only glitch I have is the Wifi.
Normally, at my office, I have a strong signal all over the place.
With the Razr I can't go to the front door.
If I am more than 10m away of the router, I lost the signal
At home, while sitting at 3 meter of my Wifi G router, I have not a full signal.
And I also loose the signal if I am more than 10m of the router.
Is anyone else facing the same or should I send back my Razr ?
Turning my blu tooth off worked for me
It's already off when I come home or to the office.

I had tried every possible setting on my router to increase the signal strength on the razr but none worked......however surprisingly and inexplicably when I changed the placement of my router and kept it on the floor i.e. around 6ft below the razr, the wifi signal suddenly jumped....hence I took this idea a little further and after some experimentation I saw that placing the router a few feet below the razr actually dramatically improves the reception even if you are at a significant distance away from the router and my problem is solved...
Just thought I should share this bit of information as it might help all those who are facing wifi reception issues with the razr

Hello guys..i bought a RAZR XT910 before about 3 weeks and i didnt notice any problems with it at all..its battery life the way i organised it with smart actions is very very good, better than my iphone 4...i have as well those black marks on the screen on low lighting and black pictures but i dont mind this either..as u can almost never see it...my problem is my weak wifi signal..i never noticed it those last 20 days as i have been working on my phone mostly on my computer desk so the phone was next to the router..the only place my phone gets 4/4 in wifi signal its when its next to the router..at 1 meter distance the signal gets 3/4 strength..at 5 meters 2/4 strength and at 10 meters the signal its lost..and this is only when im at the same room that has the router..if i go to another room the signal gets lost..especially when i close the door...i never had any wifi problem with my previous smartphones and i even had wifi outside of my house...please help me here..im quite desperate..what shall i do? return it and demand a replacement? ask for my money back? is there any way to fix this?
I don't have that problem but I'm wondering if you get it with other networks? Also have you tried resetting your router?

yea i get it with all wifi networks...for example my university, work, home..etc
Hmmm. I just ran the Speedtest app and got 12Mbps download over my wifi. It would be interesting to try that a few places and show it to VZ. Maybe they can test it on their network.

Get wifi analyzer and see if you have good signal. I notice that the Wi-Fi graphic is conservative.
my RAZR was having trouble operating on WPA2-Personal secured wifi network.. so i changed the wifi settings to WPA-Personal with TKIP and the problems are gone so you might wanna try this before you RMA.
Mine had problems with dropped and weak signal which turns out to be because I had Bluetooth on as well. If I turn bluetooth off wifi works perfectly
My WiFi reception is appalling. It only see's my home network where as my three year old HTC Hero is seeing seven!
With my package I have the ability to connect to BT Openzone hotspots around the UK.
Not much use if you can't go more than 15ft from a router without the connection dropping!
Bluetooth is off and I have tried several WiFi analysers from the market, all show a very weak signal.
Hi
On mine, yes the wifi signal (bars) are showing less then with htc desire, but I can connect without problems even the router is on the second floor and I am siting on the first, so reachable from the whole house.
I do experience, that it takes a little bit longer to find the wifi as with the desire, but once connected, works just fine.
I do not experience problems with hidden networks. Mine is not broadcasting the id, still connection is stable.

The bars on mine seem less than what the signal actually is. I connect to my home wifi just fine, from all over the house. I also connect to work's wifi from what seems like the same distance as my previous phone (Dinc)
i'm using d-link dws-125 (usb router)
when i connect and start using internet, the network disconnects in a few seconds. then it connect again and the same... etc.
please, help!!!
same problem here, hope a solution can be found as the phone is unusable in its present state
The "single ball" is enough to achieve 10mbit at my place, however, I upgraded my firmware to OpenWRT and now I get two full lines and the "ball" in the bedroom.
Stock netgear firmware is.. Incomplete. :S
Wi-fi back
Hi everybody,
I have the same problem mine is a razr from france even if i use it in italy, i found that when haveing the phone in the hand the signal gets very worst, if i hold the phone from the edges not in the hand the signal is much better i gain two signal bars, the same happens if i left the phone on the desk, the signal gest very good, as soon as i take it in the hand the signal gets bad, a kind of antenna gete from iphone....
hope this helps somebody
used to have this issue with weak wifi signals, but after installing the 85P radio update, it's gotten a bit better.
Noticed something interesting about the random drops in WiFi signal strength. I have had the problem others have reported where you can be sitting in the same place and suddenly the wifi signal strength will show that it has dropped to a much lower strength.
However, recently trying to see what the actual signal strength was I open the free WiFi Analyzer app from the market and went to the signal meter window. I noticed when I did that that signal strength indicator on the Prime jumped back up. I have been able to repeat that scenario multiple times.
I don't know enough about WiFi to give a reason why, but I thought I would throw what I was seeing out there to see if someone else more knowledgeable might know why and if it might help lead to a possible solution.
my wifi and Bluetooth will connect to a device or network but my signal strength for both is terrible. Wi-Fi network doesn't matter as far as the problem goes. Bluetooth is the same I connected to a speaker but couldn't get a foot away. both of these have never been the best for signal strength. this all happened when I opened the phone up to replace the vibration motor in the phone. I've opened it multiple times before with no troubles. has something happened to the chip, or is there something I can look at inside the phone? Thanks for any suggestions.
