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.

I have had issues with the AT&T Microcell dropping calls using an unrooted, carrier unlocked, stock HTC Inspire. I have no resolution at this time.
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.

worked really good on my desire s. never get drop wifi. =)
I just realized that GPS reciever of desire S is not working when I stay in my room. But Sumsung Galaxy S Advance is working very well in my room. Does anyone know how to improve HTC Desire S's GPS reciever indoor performance ?
See screen capture. I capture while I'm in side my house but It's appear about 400m from my current location and I have been waiting for 5 minutes to get the GPS reciever working.

try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442032 it works for me.
i did manage to get a signal immediately right after i installed it from inside my house in front of my pc. Was not able to produce the same result twice(didn't really wait long enuf to test as i dun need gps in my house). But i have to say that this improve my signal lock tremendously.
and i think gps not able to lock on while in a house is not really an issue :cyclops:
cheers
Desire S GPS is precise, but weak, and won't work well indoors.

To test ur gps it should be outdoor in an open field, not inside brick wall. Is like testing ur mobile radio in an elevator and asking why can't i receive any reception inside here
But how is it when you are outdoor? Any improvement on the gps-lock?
GPS generally isn´t recommend for indoors, and it doesnt have sense to use GPS indoors.
Have no problem
I have no problem for outdoor It take just 10 seconds to lock.

WTF are you playing at dude?
Why are you re-opening an old thread (From September last year) in the Dev forum just to ask the same damn question you keep asking in here?
You have been told repeatedly that GPS is NOT designed for indoor use. You have confirmed that your GPS works fine outside. What is your problem? If you are indoors then you surely know where you are - it's not as if GPS is going to help you find the toilet, or find your arse
The Dev forum is for Development - not for pointless questions.
So you mean I'm damn... Ok I'm damn but. Why I can get Samsung Gallaxy S Advances work in door perfectly but not Desire S? What make sense to me is If it work in a house or building is benefit of finding and also can provide us a location where we can find each other easy.... Also maybe you can find my ass also.

Because the Desire S has a weak GPS antenna design. Everybody here knows that - it has been discussed to death. The thread you re-opened states that and the reasons for it, along with a possible hardware fix if you want to try a bit of soldering.

I guess phones are demo phones for retailers that can't be used for anything else anyway
More importantly, I'd like to know the post-testing results. Able to dry out and work like new? Any screwy controls/gross display issues? Would be cool knowing that if my phone did happen to take a dip it wouldn't mean an automatic send-off to the manufacturer.

Funny you should say that, I had a similar problem with my S2, some sort of debris got into the port, and it blew the whole charging PCB ! Found one instantly on ebay tho so it was clearly a known issue.

What real life scenario do these "hammer tests" replicate? Of course it will smash your phone if you use a bloody hammer! As for water/beer test, not as worse, but still silly. And doesn't prove a thing either, mind.

just asking but where did you look for radios? You can always do a google search as well... http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/ref-oneplus-one-modem-collection-t2858734
Please make sure to properly read the thread before flashing anything. Make sure it is compatible with your phone as well.

Ok..
As what i read from the post you showed to me..
for gsm only, the best dbm strength is -5x to -6x dbm.
but i inconsistently getting -7x to -8x dbm which is very bad.
wcdma is even worse at a range of -9xdbm to -10x dbm which is unusable..

Actually your signal strength is pretty good. The numbers you are quoting don't mean much unless you consider distance from cell tower, weather, ground conditions,etc.
