[Q] A wireless router to cover whole city? - General Questions and Answers

Recently I saw a wifi repeater, which is said to extend Wifi signal for antother 300 meters far.Mod edit: Links Removed
If I install a new signal repeater at the edge of the wifi coverage, the signal could reach 600 meters far. :silly:
So if I buy hundreds of such devices, I can use my home Wifi anywhere in the city with my phone?

Yes,you can.

Possible But I think it will effect speed.and if its spread u can be under hacking dangers.

when u use a network which youre in eg.wifi your info is sent as a plane text.with the network all over city.somebody might create a loop hole and hack system.even when pass protected.

its over standard, and harmful for human body...

Will it get any signal, WiFi, GPS, GPRS?
Are the connections set up right?
Is it an active SIM?

He FOUND this phone.
His sim is probably inactive, that's why. Only in the US are the carriers required to let you on their network without service just for 911 calls. Other countries, not so much.
tried three different sims(active) but still with the same problem.
wifi works just fine etc
i belive its blocked.

Either the radio is busted, or you are in a country where they block stolen/lost phones.
I belive that is the case....
is it a way to unblock ?
Funny, just yesterday I lost one....

You can send it to me
Ill pay for your troubles.
You could call the carrier and try to find the owner. If you did that then you'd catch less heat on the forum and you can make a bid with the carrier to get it un-banned.

I believe that would be the correct answer.

Do you have any signal issues with the Inspire? i am thinking of coming back..

thinking of coming back to the inspire but i want to make sure there are no cell signal issues with the inspire. have you all had any probs? how was it fixed?
Thank you
Why would u ask that? Did you?
I've never had any signal problem... I hardly have 5 notches out of 5 though even with 2 I m able to speak with no loss of quality...

gees...
Yeah, the signal strength with the stock radio for me is sub par as compared to the slew of other phones I have laying around here. Its always way down as compared to every other phone I have, even my iphone, which was the reigning king of crap signal. Maybe its possible to get a better signal with a different radio, I dont know? Its mainly just affected in building call performance, and definitely data performance. BUT I love this phone and am going to live with it. I have even thought about trying to rig up an antenna of some sort to experiment. I might try to solder a coil of wire onto the lower antenna/cover, probably wont work but I its an easy experiment.
btw I have tried different roms and reflashed the stocker a bunch of times experimenting with little to no change minus my gps randomly going away after some flashes.
Are we back in high school? What's with all these back and forth comments? Why not help the OP instead of going off topic?
And to reply to the OP, I personally haven't had any (cell) signal problems. The area you are in and how congested it is also a major factor.

[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.

0 Bars for connection strength?

I have recently purchased a HTC sensation and I followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
After this It says "No signal" Which is 0 Bars
Is there anyway to fix this???
Thanks in advance!
I know this might seem silly but make sure all the gold points on the back cover are intact and meet up with the appropriate points in the phone. They are external antennae and you won't have a signal if they are bad.

Is there any way to see if they are broken?
Thanks!
Edit: I think if I change network It will be better, I am using giffgaff and whenever I go into network operators it says "Your sim doesn't allow this network".
Will it help trying a new network?
It could, make sure that they network you use is supports the frequency that the Sensation uses.

Try glancing around Google, I'm from the U.S. but it looks like several sensation users have had your same issue. http://community.giffgaff.com/t5/He...ection-on-my-HTC-sensation-phone/td-p/5396016
It looks like there were a few suggestions as to how you could get internet on the sensation.

Anytime, let me know if it works. I'm curious as to why the network would behave that way.

[Q] Low signal and Wifi

Well I've just installed Purity Rom on my Nexus 5.
I notice that my signal is on about 2 stripes, which is really wierd! on my old SGS 2 it used
to be 5 all the time.
Also, my wifi signal is pretty low from the same room where the router is! something is really wierd.
My wifi downloads at about 25kb/s from the play store, which is wierd because it should get to about 2mb/s.
Should I switch Kernel/Modem? if so to which one/s?
thanks alot!
Try restarting the modem/router, and make sure it has the latest firmware.

Tried a couple of times and it has nothing to do with it. Downloading from my laptop reaches 2mb/s easily.
And its also the 3G signal that has problems, really not sure why.

I know it's counterintuitive, but the router apparently interacts differently depending on the device.
I only mentioned the router firmware upgrade because that's what fixed it for me.

That's what the upgrade fixed. Of course, yours could be weak for any number of reasons. Is it the same for other phones?

I mean the cellular signal, for calling and 3G network... And as I said, on my previous SGS2 the signal is always full and also wifi.
Something is wrong with my Modem/Kernel or something like that.

Try using the .17 radio instead of the .23. You have to be rooted to downgrade or flash the 4.4 factory image to test it.
Otherwise bars means nothing as long as you aren't dropping calls. Different phones display them differently. Look at About Phone - Status and see the actual dBms and see if they are similar. Some phones do -89 as 4 bars while some require -79 and higher to be 4 bars.

I'm not sure, but I really don't want to use 4.4...
Why is my WiFi signal weak aswell? it just works bad/not working at all at a medium range from the router...

I said 4.4 to test it. Testing is the only way you'll narrow down the variables. We can't always do all the work for you
Once you are on 4.4 then you can see how it works then and if not then jump back to 4.4.2 and then you test something else.
And I said about "bars" being meaningless for the most part as long as you aren't dropping connections. You said it works bad at medium range or not working at all? Meaning you can't connect and what's medium range? Medium might be 50ft or 200ft. I dunno how big your place is or what's your walls are made of.
