[Unconfirmed] Wifi Fix (without Root)

hey guys, i suffered a lot from disconnects with my wifi when holding the phone in landscape mode
well i tried a app which helped my desire hd a lot, and now .. well i can hold my desire s in landscape without loosing connection
*removed cause its not working*
would be nice if people from u suffering from the same problem can try it and confirm if it is working or not
greetings

Looks good for those without root/S-OFF.... So do you know how does it actually work? Can it change the signal strength threshold somehow?

Tried it. I don't think it does anything to mine. Signal still drops. But not sure if does anything to the threshold.
What does it really do actually?

Doesn't work.

I think it just resets the wifi. ._.

well i don't know what exactly it does, thats why i putted unconfirmed in the thread title, it helped me with my desire s and 2 friends with a desire hd
quote from app description:
This app solves problems in Android OS which cause the Wi-Fi to stop working properly.

that's all i can say what the app is doing
simply thought maybe its helping some others here too

seems to work on my desire s =) but can't test it 100% now beacuse i can't play any online games, im in school and they have blocked all port
also kaspersky say that my phone was block. liked i changed to a new sim card. don't know why. made the program change something on my simcard? hmm

like i said i don't know what exactly the phone is doing, it's talking something about reseting wlan and deleting all data and such
i only wrote her that it worked for me
maybe someone don't have such a extreme death spot and got a faulty wireless duo bad flash so this is helping only for some

try covering the entire top plastic part (the part with the camera with your hand & see if the wifi drops using some app like wifi analyzer)

Well like a fool as my Wifi wasn't that bad.
The result being that I now have no Wifi connection at all.

u must add your wifi + passwords again after using this app, it's mentioned in the app so read first

yes it asked me to configure my wifi again & i did it
but the signal still dropped like before
dont see the bars they are quite misleading ( i am usually able to browse with no bars)
use some app like wifi analyzer

well for wifi analyzer it's already too late cause i can't make a before/after compare now

I tested it with WiFi analyzer before and after, there was still the -20db drop and nothing changed

well then maybe i had some software bugged wlan too and the programm was able to, so it will stay a myth that it's a help for the desire s signal dropping
well thank you guys for confirming it

That is what I did and it made no difference, I had to do a factory reset to get Wifi back. Perhaps I was just unlucky.

video chatting

hey guys, i just got my charge and downloaded the app "tango", which allows video chatting.
but when i try it and i turn on the video my friend cannot hear me.
i remember when i got my phone the guy at best buy said the charge cannot send data and voice at the same time
so i am amusing this is the problem.
my friend has the Tbolt and it works fine.
If video chatting is out of the question for the charge why did they even include the front facing camera.
also is there a way around this? how can i get video chatting to work on my charge.
any ideas
thanks guys.
i've found this thats how i came upon tango but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
is it just my phone or all charges?

Make sure your friend does not have mute selected, and does have the speaker selected.

The developers of Tango are aware of the audio issues associated with the Charge, and are working to resolve it. Here's a post from another site:
http://androidforums.com/samsung-droid-charge/342720-oovoo.html

Hey all,
Yea, I think I'm having the same issue.

Tango doesn't work, yahoo mess doesn't work. Fring DOES work!
Thanks for the help.

something new with Fring, because when I used it, it wouldn't use the front facing camera.

Yeah Fring was update a few hours ago. But the volume is too low for the program to be honestly useful.

Has anyone been able to get skype video to work on the charge? I just got an upgrade available and I'm debating whether to get this or the thunderbolt which can use skype but the battery life is a major concern.

It is low. If you are outside or in a noisy place you'll have issues. But for me it's not too bad. I use it at work to talk and cheack on my son at home. If I don't call him he'll never take a bath. Hell when I was his age I was ironing my clothes and smelling fine. Had girls all over the place. This boy don't give to you know whats.

Don't look like it. I just checked the reviews in the market place and as of 6-8-11, people are still rating it poorly because of that.

Not sure if you're aware, but that just means you can't use data while on voice CALLS only. Data doesn't disable your microphone.
I've downloaded Qik but haven't tried it yet. Anyone have any luck?

Recording Calls..?

If you have a Senation already....
Just wondering if a Call Recorder app will work with the Sensation..?? I currently use the SPB Recorder on my Winmo TP2 to record and play back calls and it is a lifesaver with client calls (my memory is bad!)
(http://www.appbrain.com/app/call-recorder-total-recall-dem/com.killermobile.totalrecall.trial)
(http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-publishandroidapps-vrecorder-jjDB.aspx)
Really would like to know before getting a Sensation as this is a very useful feature to me. Sorry if this has been covered, but would appreciate any specific info for call recording (not off the speaker). Appreciate it if anyone has the knowledge or wants to try it out....
Cheers to all.

I tried out "2-way Call Recorder Free" and it did record both sides of the conversation. Speakerphone was off too, so it's apparently working correctly.

Many thx lezouave
That is really good to know...!
Appreciated

How did you get it to work? Whenever I hit the 'rec' button on the little popup, it turned on the speakerphone to record.

Actually, really want the auto record function. To have to press an additional button seems redundant when/if ALL calls can be recorded...

I know.. I still wouldn't mind it if it actually worked though!

Still on this...
Just curious, can this be changed when this bugger gets Rooted or S-Off or whatever the heck is done with the locks come off this thing..?
Still really (really) want this function.
Cheers

I use total recall newest version...it works great

Thx for that.
Curious though, does it record well and 'without' the loudspeaker on?
In other words, does it record both sides of the call without an issue - there are other reports saying it needs to turn the loadspeaker on to work.
Please be kind enough to give some more details for all who are interested.
Cheers

both apps do not work for me...
the total recall made my phone go crazy..wouldnt record anything, couldnt hang up, then once I hung up the phone still thought I was on a call and the screen kept going on/off everytime I moved it...not good.
The other one (2 way call recorder) worked, but forced speaker phone. also, not good.
Any other options? I have a feeling Sense and the HTC dialer is part of the issue here..

I think this is what u may want
Androrec call recorder
It records both sides of the conversation, without having to put it on speaker, AND it starts recordings automatically.
All I have to do is periodically go into my SD card and wipe off non-essentials to save space.
And, before I get asked, I have no idea if I have S-off phone or not. I have no idea how to check, but guess have no need to, because my sensation does everything I want it to...

Thank you, I will try it.

AndroRec didn't work for me on the Sensation... could barely hear the other side.
Looks like Sensation is one of those phones that doesn't work well with the recording apps.

Yeah...it works without loudspkr turned on...and for both way...

Thx to all for the info.
Seems we have a mixed bag of success - can't figure why something will work on one and not the other..?
I am yet to dive into a Sensation, but this function is something that is vital to me.

Skype sound output problem

All the Skype video calls I was making used to be outputting their sound over the phone speakers. Recently, however, this seems to have changed. The sound is now only outputted via the earpiece, and I do not seem to be able to find the cause of the change, nor how to change it back. There is no speaker toggle button. Makes the video calling fairly cumbersome, since I have to put on the headphones (or Bluetooth), and cannot have a couple of people take part in the call at my end. The recent upgrade (2.5) did not correct the problem. What is annoying is that it was working OK before. I am just not sure before what. Any ideas anybody? Android 2.3.4 (stock HTC/T-Mobile), Skype is most recent stock version.

try viber.

I just used this like 2hrs ago, Toggle the mic button. I thinks it's a red icon, I've had this problem before. If not then try clearing the data. Let's us know.

Switching to another tool (viber) is not an option - it would take me less time to re-code Skype from scratch myself than to get my parents on a different program.
This is still an issue. The only way I am able to work around it is to quickly plug in my earphones and the unplug them. That seems to force skype to switch to the speaker away from the earpiece. I guess I'll have to deal with this until a future version takes care of it (hopefully).

i wish you had right about that but as i learn from developers it's about kernel and if anyone will fix this then it's have to be a developer. if i found a solution then i let you know.

green/black video on skype

Hi all.
As the title says, I have tryed to make skype calls but the image that the oter person gets from me is very greeny. On my Sensation's display it looks like it should be but at the recepient I see my self like I am being watched thru night vision devices.
Could this be a skype problem or a phone problem? outside the skype both front and back cameras are working just fine.
I don't know if it has any importance but I am on ARHD 6.6.3.
Thank you very much.
