Hi.
I have task which lists all paired devices (currenrly there is 2) and their signal strenghts using Bluetooth info. So good so far. First device is honor band 5 and it displays signal strenght between -32 and -120. And second device is sudio tio Bluetooth headphones, the problem is that displays its signal strenght between 0 and 20 so what the heck is going on, that doesnt look like right value to display. I installed some bluetoorh signal strenght app and it displayed right rssi value so this must be tasker related problem. Any idea whats going on?

Hi
I have Wireless internet at home with 2 available access points, for some strange reason, my Hero (T-Mobile) insists on connecting to the weaker signal, even if I try changing it to connect to the stronger signal, it re-connects to the weaker signal then disconnects and connects back to the stronger signal, I have reset the phone to factory default as I had other issues with it but this does not seem have resolved the wifi issue, any ideas?
p.s. if we can avoid the "use the search button" that would be good
T-Mobile G2 Touch
Firmware 1.5
Baseband Version: 63.18.55.06FU_6.35.07.08
Build: 2.73.110.26 CL#69351
Software Version: 1.0.0.A6288
I think there may be apps in the market to help this issue.
Search the market for Wifi and see what you get.
Sorry can't be more specific as I don't have this problem myself.
I have tried that before, most of the apps seem to be either a wifi switch (on/of) or a wifi scanner,
thanks for the response
The problem could be wireless interference or other issues with the wifi router. The stronger signal (I'm assuming this is your own wireless router) may drop its signal, if only for an instant, due to wireless interference or other issues, causing the phone to switch to a more stable, albeit weaker, signal.
The first thing I would do is try changing the wireless channel on the router. 99% of routers default to channel 6. If there are several wifi signals in your area, open or secured, there's a good chance most of them are on channel 6. I'd suggest channel 11 myself, but you can try any of them.
If changing the channel doesn't work, you can try adjusting the more advanced settings, such as setting it to 11g-only instead of b/g. Other settings you could adjust are:
- DTIM Interval
- Beacon interval
- CTS protection
- RTS threshold
- Frame burst
- Preamble type
- Authentication type
Of those advanced settings, I would go for preamble type first, as it's the safest to play around with if you don't know what you're doing. As far as the other advanced settings, I'd do a google search to figure out what they mean before messing with them too much. I could explain them all, but I'm not here to write an essay
Note: Not all routers allow you to change all of these settings. Particularly cheaper routers will have far fewer advanced options than what I've listed here.
Hope this helps!
thanks for that, ill try changing it to channel 11 and try again, when i dop a wifi scan, it picks up about 7-8 different secudred AP's so it may well be the interference,
thanks muchly
Recently I bought a wifi range extender (TP-Link tl-wa730re first version) and I configured it in order to extend (range extender mode) wifi signal of my router over some rooms of my house. In particular I use this extender to take the signal into a room in which I already get router signal, but it's too low to have a fast connection.
So in this room I have 2 signal (I used this app to analize my conditions Play Store Link): the router one, with 20-30%, and the repeater one, with 70 %. I haven't any problem with my pc, but I have the same issue with my android devices (galaxy nexus, 2 nexus 7, htc sensation, xperia u): they randomly disconnect themselves for just a couple of seconds and then they switch between the 2 signals
Moreover about every 10 hours, I must reboot the extender, or every android device stops to get a working connection. For example, my gnex lost connection and continuously tries to connect to router, but it always fail.
If I move from this room to another one (especially if in this room router signal is stronger than before) my devices lost connection and I have to reboot phone or tab to get connection back...
My router has a WPA-PSK TKIP-AES password, dhcp enabled, automatic channel search enabled (the usual channel is always free), and wifi b\g\n with a speed up to 125 mbps. My extender has no password configured, dhcp disabled, same channel of router and its extended wifi has been seen by every android as the same of router (only 1 signal is detected into settings).
I already tried to set a static IP from wifi settings on phones but nothing change.. help please:crying:
Try wifi static from google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.statIc and find a working ip on your extender.
When you get them, go to your router settings and define a reserved ip with MAC adress (your android and ip working)
This should be done!
Hope this help you! :fingers-crossed:
My wifi on my glacier has a low signal strength, but even at low signal it still works fine, however I think maybe that wifi-calling is a little too sensitive when alerting me the connection signal is weak. It will disable Tmobiles Wi-fi calling app, even if your wifi is still working, when it drops below a certain signal level.
So is there some sort of app or hack that can disable or relax androids handling of the wifi signal strength warnings system wide?
Or a way to boost tx power a bit?
anyone?

Hello,
I'm new to this forum. I have Alcatel One Touch Evo 7 tablet and after updating the software to newer version, it started having problems with the 3g modem - it can detect a network but it won't connect with any. Surrpisingly - whenever I connect with WIFI, the 3G or EDGE icon appears as well and it looks like I was connected to both WiFi and mobile network! I double checked the APN settings and it was working before - now it isn't... Is there some way to downgrade the software or flash it? I don't have a warranty for this tablet.
When you have active wireless connection, the "modem icon" only show signal strength, it's true that E or H depend on "what it hear" but that's all. So if modem get signal from umts it will show umts (even when he is unable to connect because of poor quality), because he thinks that he is connected to the GSM, but he is connected to net threw wireless. (like it have only one connection status for wireless and gsm)
And as for me, my evo7 behave the same way as yours when i have something wrong with APN, so my guess it that you have:
-apn or other settings problem
-signal strength - check your signal and other in settings
-hardware problem - maybe some interference with other components, like gps, wifi, ... (i have evo7 that have good gps but very poor gsm, and my friend bought evo7 that have GSM like a rock, hardly ever lose gsm network, but gps work like hell, sometimes never get fix or lose it all the time)
My question: How did you do software update? I somehow didn't find any room or how to do that.
I have a new gear s on Verizon and have found the battery life very variable for lack of a better description. It appears the Verizon version does not display the same info in the moments bar as the Samsung manual shows or as I have seen on other carriers versions. I ask because my battery life in auto connect verses always off is a major difference even when connected to the phone via Bluetooth. It almost appears the 3G/4G is always on in the auto setting. worse case connected to the phone "note 4" via Bluetooth and network in auto I was getting 7 hours from 100% to 15% battery. If I turn the network off in the same situation I got over 40 hours and still had 25% battery left. Does anyone know if the Verizon version actually turns the network on/off in auto mode? Since they don't display this information in the moments bar you don't know if you are on, off or remotely connected. The 3G by the signal strength bar graph is always on whether you are on or in auto mode. Thanks for any help you might have.
I have the Verizon version also. When I'm by my phone Bluetooth automatically turns on and 3g turns off and vice versa. I had problems with it not automatically switching 3g off so I ran clean master from the Samsung store(made for Samsung phones) and ever since then it always works with auto connect

Thank you for your response. I tried your suggestion but can see no immediate difference. If I may ask how do you know 3G/4G is turning on and off? On my watch the Bluetooth symbol in the moments bar will change either having the additional white triangles on each side when connected. The 3G/4G and signal strength bar graph is always there in the on or the auto. Only off will make them disappear. Thanks.

The 3g disappears and turns off the cell radio then connects to my phone Bluetooth. Double check your settings under connections, then mobile networks, make sure gear network is set to auto switch

Thank you once again for the information. I pretty sure mine is not working as it should. I have the 3G and signal strength bar graph if the mobile network is on or in auto phone connected Bluetooth and inches away. You need something to know if its on or off as you stated 3G there or off. The weird thing is with the network in auto and Bluetooth connected I put the phone in airplane mode then tried making a call from the watch. It would not do it. The 3G was there telling me the network is on but not making phone calls. I tried sending a text to the watch phone number with the network off and as expected it didn't come through even connected to the phone via Bluetooth. If the network is in auto and connected to phone via Bluetooth the text to watch phone number will come through. I'm guessing to get calls or texts to the watch phone number the network must be on. I'm curious if yours behaves as mine does. I have had the note 4 since January and its getting pretty cluttered with stuff plus add the lollypop update to the mix. I have tried a hard rest on the watch and think I'm going to do the same to the phone to clean house and try from scratch. Thanks again.
