Mime gets weak signal too I have Linksys wireless n but it was a cheaply so its my fault
.......infuse.....Infused....infusion.........

ohhh, ok.
how can I know?

I just got my infuse and my data through wifi is horrid as well. I have a euro SGS2 also and got the infuse to play around with... The wifi is so slow its unbearable... Side by side comparison is a joke.. I hope this isnt normal. running infused oc'ed to 1.6, but the wifi was absolutely crawing on stock as well so i dont think what im running has anything to do with it. If somebody has a tweak that iv missed, it would be greatly appriciated!

Oh, and i have the newest dualband aiport extreme with two airport express's acting as repeaters.... Getting 65mbps... Not the router.

If it's that slow you'll need to test by connecting to other access points to see if you get the same speeds on other equipment. If you do, first thing I'd try is another ROM. If the problem persists I'd get a new phone.
That's just me. You guys do what you want.

Yeah, thats what i was thinking... I was at a hotel this weekend running stock and it was crazy slow... Thought it was the access point... Got home, still the same... New phone time!

htc and wifi's

From what ive noticed htc devices have weak wifi receptions. Unlike motorola i can be in my garage and still grab fair signal. With htc nothing even when im about to enter the garage. Do you guys think htc puts weak wifi antennas in our phones?
Wrong forum my friend.
Please move to general.

Under advanced WiFi settings there's a setting for best WiFi performance, might help a little.

Not with my phone. My phone switches to my wifi when I'm coming down the road. Of course it is weak until I am near my house, then it is fair. Inside my home it is strong. I am running wireless N and have the router at the front of the home. I also have no interference from neighbors since none have wifi.

Hey, if you're happy with your speeds, then that's all that matters. lol
I used to get better speeds. Not sure what happened.
So you're happy with 2G speeds?

Me? nope... I used to get 6mbps down and 2mbps up
I think they are working on the towers here in my area.
I did notice the speeds are not 100% all the time, they jump from 2 - 6 Mbps depending on time of day / weather / and everything else but knowing the phone "can hit 6" makes me feel better about "when AT&T" gets everything going it *should* be pretty fast

Here's one in an unmolested CM7 N82 or 83 install, can't remember which.
No apn changes, no build.prop changes. Just the radio from the ota update w/out the ril since it tends to hose wifi and GPS for me.

Yeah keep rubbing it in LOL. Are you still able to get those speeds?

Is it just me or does the shift have bad WiFi Range??

On my evo i had twice the range my shift does. Idk if their is a booster to increase the range but its horrid. i have to be with in 15 feet of the router in order to actually get wifi which is stupid.
I dont think its my wifi router cause the settings are all the same as they were before when i had my evo.
I get great range.
I have great range on mine. All the way to the backyard outside. Couple of things to check are, make sure your router isn't sitting on the floor. Also make sure there's not a bunch of stuff blocking the router ( like in front of it or around it ) . When I moved all the crap that was in front of my router. Then raised up onto a shelf, the range at which I could get signal from it increased dramatically.
Personally I think i my old hero had better wifi range than my shift. With my Shift im lucky to get one bar in my bedroom, but with my Hero i had 2 bars in the same spot.
Go to wifi settings -> menu -> advanced -> regulatory domain -> 14 channels -> wifi sleep policy -> never
Shift has 802.11n 2.4ghz. If you're still having problems run Wifi Analyzer and figure out your local network problems.
Shift does Wifi fine.

I am running Synergy Rom, and i also clicked the Best WiFi Performance and turned it on.
Ok well i turned on the best performance and that didnt even increase the range.. the range still still sucks on this thing. but the speed when im actually AT my wireless router (so much for being wireless if im stuck with in 5 feet of it ) is pretty darn fast.

Sounds like its your router or a problem with your ISP. You should for sure be able to connect further than 5 ft away. I would Download WiFi analyzer like VICODAN suggested.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
I did download that app but what am i suppose to do with it. The signal feed is total jumped high for a few secs but half the time even with 5 feet away it was very low on the bottom two bars of it. Is there a way to increase the range that my linksys cisco router gives off. Its not a cheaper router either i think i spent $150 on it like a couple months ago. Im gonna try a new rom, any suggestions as to picking CM7 or nightlies for better wifi cause i prefer wifi over crappy 3G anyday. Im currently on supremesense v5 but I just dont like the drop down notification bar in other roms, i like the sense version more.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Cm7 are good roms, I would recommend synergy ROM if you like sense. I was having connection problems while I ran supreme sense v5 the other day, and with mikeshifted g, but no problems with synergy ROM.

I was skeptical about trying synenergy due to how many issues i had on my evo, but i will try it here on the evo shift. Thank you.

I will give it a shot. so far i like the evo shift more in some aspects but this wifi thing on any rom is just dreadful... and its not just my Wireless router. its at my friends house too.
I upgraded from the HTC hero and I had way WiFi better signal on it than on my shift but personally I like the shift over and phone Sprint offers right now. But back on subject you could go to Sprint and let them look at it and see if anything wrong but they would probably just blame it on being rooted.

Your battery life and speed can dramatically increase, I'm still a beginner to rooting and all this good stuff so that's the most significant change I saw as of now.
It can be costly when you dont know what your doing but if you.do it right it can save you money(from mobile hotspot) and increase speed

I am confused I used my phone as a mobile hotspot all the time before I rooted it comes witht he phone and I was never charged extra for tethering. Now that I am rooted it works the same as before I dont see any difference in that department. So could you guys elaborate on what you are talking about. Yes I am a TMO user
Well for me, rooted or not my hotspot dont work anymore unless i add the feature for 14.99. Sucks, i came from a G2, then next day i received my G2x and hotspot stopped. Called them and they said network has finally detected me using it..

Well most phones wont let you use the hotspot without paying...actually can u connect.a.device to the internet from hotspot? Cuz on my friends evo 4g you can turn on hotspot but cannot connect to internet with it.

Well one way is changing nunbers my girl got her g2x couple days after me.. And her hotspot didnt work eirher after changing phones. We had problems with her data that she would browse the internet, then out of nowhere sge gets redirected to web2go.com sating she has no data, and 1.99 charge to continue. We had this issue for 2wks, they didbt know what to do, had 4 replacement phones because thats all they suggested, 2 new sim cards, refreshed the network to many times, factory reset.. I told them it has to be the network because even if she swapped phones with me or tried another problem would follow, i suggested to change number, rep said no, supervisor said that wouldn't help. So he ordered another replacement, monday it came, same thing. Called again, this time demanded her number changed, few minutes later internet worked from there on. Even her hotspot well, working because network hasnt detected the new number.. But hers is working for now..

Yea. That was the only thing she let me do and I froze some apps to save her some battery life, also got rid of the fora files for some extra space.. She's tough, she doesn't like change... took me forever to get her to upgrade her PC... The only reason she has the sgs4g is it was a gift... She sees the customizations on my phone and says " why don't I have that ? " and I say. " Let me flash your phone and you will" and shes silent .... So there's a glimpse of hope... maybe the size of a dust particle but its there ...lol..

Well that's what I think anyway... I love music and at night I'll put my headphones on to fall asleep and on the stock roms it seems idk kinda muffled, its not as crisp .. I use the earbuds that came with the wife's sgs4g... Bass Is awesome on them .. I crank up some Foo Fighters and I'm in my happy place.. I'm pretty picky about my music quality ... Musics in my genes, both sides of my family are full of musicians .... I'm the only one who can't read sheet music... I'm self taught bass player .. also play a little drums... Idk I can just listen and then play it... My brotherrthe same way but he can read sheet music...

Sorry to pester, but what ROM/ kernel fixed the "kinda muffled"? Did you use those earbuds on both stock and whatever your are using now? I used to be an audiophile - not that I expect that quality out of the cheap DACs they use in these phones, but free improvement is free, and I like free....

Awful wifi

I just got my HTC One X yesterday (AT&T version) and my wifi signal SUCKS unless I am right by the router. It is also extremely slow. Connection also drops sometimes.
The weird thing is, I get perfect connection anywhere in the house on my iPod.
If anyone can recommend anything to help this, please let me know. I'm tempted to return it because of this crap.
(Upgraded from the HTC Aria, didn't have any wifi problems on that phone either)
HOX has some wifi issues all over the world. You better get it replaced.
