WiFi - HTC Sensation

Maybe a dumb question but is there a way to boost WiFi detection through the device so I can connect to a WiFi hotspot from a further distance? Any suggestions?

Thanks. I just did that and it worked a bit better. Wasn't sure if there was a plug in adapter I could get for my phone or not.

Dial *#*#4636#*#*, go to phone information and you can choose your preffered network type

which would be?
4g is 3g on the inspire. There is no separate modem for 4g like the EVO.

GSM only will turn you to E(2g).
If you change the phone to GSM only, restart it. (turn it off and then on) Otherwise it will auto switch back to H in about a minute.

What are the real dangers of leaving ciphering off?

Leaving it off fixed my wifi slowdown issue. Phone also seems to run smoother too. Any https traffic will remain encrypted and any other ssl or other socket connection is still fine. I don't get what the true advantage of this feature is except adding overhead to the phone.

Leaving it on protects you from people who know how to sniff cellular networks.

My wifi still slowed down so I turned it back on. This is my only major issue with this phone.

GPRS not active

When I do the *#*#4636#*#* it says my GPRS isn't active. My signal is really bad and didn't know it it would help if it was switched on. But how do I switch it on?

When you say signal, did you mean for normal phone use or data ?

WiFi tether?

I've been using hotspot for 3 years and now they blocked me? So they want me to pay again for the internet I'm already paying for? There's no way to bypass this $#!T and keep doing it like before?

Good question!
I'm not dev but I don't really think so, it depends on your signal. I'm just guessing, maybe I'm wrong.

Why Does data sometimes drop out then come back after numerous airplane modes?

Seems like this is a hex that comes with my sensation as once in a while it will drop data and try to reestablish the connection over and over again..
multiple roms except stock do this..
why?
Self Bump..
the issue seems to be with my router.. whenever i use WIFI at home it makes my phone do this.. but anywhere else i use wifi its fine and connects right back to data..
any ideas?
Same problem with me
