JASJAR WIFI signal reception I notice is weak

My JASJAR WIFI signal reception I notice is weak; I am saying this for 2 reasons:
One, even JASJAR is so close to the access point signal quality indicator barely reaches 75%.
The other, with my old iPAQ and form the same position I can detect the signal but not with my JASJAR.
What seems to be the problem and is there any way that can improve the signal detection in JASJAR.

Interestingly enough I've found the O2 Exec WiFi reception to be fine, certainly better than the new iBook. The only problem I have with it is the massive battery drain on WiFi use.

I'm with page3.. compares to my IIs, the Exec is amazing.. I get great reception in area where my old IIs can't even connect.

Hi,
I agree with Zamil. My XDA Exec can't pick up the WiFi signal where my old XDA 2i can The signal strength seems to be a lot weaker.

I assume you have played with the Wifi Power in the Settings, Connections, WirelessLAN, Settings - if not, try setting to Max Strength - it will chew up your battery power though.

... with my old iPAQ and from the same position I can detect the signal but not with my JASJAR.

I have the same experience
with the JASJAR when I loose the connection in some places, the iPaq 4350 it's still able to detect signal and connect the internet.
I using the lastest ROM updates WWE_11353_137_10301.

WIFI connection issues with Prophet (spv M600)

Hi all,
I have a big problem with my Prophet and its WIFI, I didn't manage to connect to anything.
First, I had the Orange French rom.
When i tried to connect to my hotspot with WPA protection, although the prophet could see the hotspot, try to connect to it, connection seemed to stay blocked... status was "connected to network" but no IP given (DHCP is activated on my hotpot).
Then I read that WPA wasn't well supported by WM5 so i put a WEP encryption on my hotspot. This time the prophet connect and an IP address appeared in wifi sttings, but connection reseted all the time... connected, not connected, connected again, not connected...
impossible to stabilise the connection.
I tried on another hotspot without encryption, and same thing, connection reseting again and again...
Now I've just tried with the last dopod rom which I've found right here, but no change, the wifi connection is impossible.
I'm kinda lost, dunno what's going wrong with something that should work without any problems...
Does someone ever seen something like this?
Could it be a material failure?
Thanks a lot for your help!!! :wink:

It was a hardware disfunction, replaced today with another prophet which works fine

New Prophet Revision out ?
Hello,
I Just got my XDA Neo (o2Germany) 2 days ago and because i´ve read about the Dopod Rom beeing faster, i upgraded immediatly.
The Problem now is the bad Wireless performance, i never get a good connection - Still if i am right next to the Router/Accesspoint...
Did i understand you right that this is a Hardware failure ?
Can I correct this with a different Rom ?
The Problem is that i cannot give it back to o2 now, because of the Dopod Rom - Maybe i have to try the Downgrade Method presented yesterday...
Can you give some more information about Wlan performance ??
THX !!

Hi,
First of all, did you try the wireless connection with your first original rom?
And what do you mean by "never get a good connection", could you explain that point? does the prophet connect and disconnect?
You must know that wifi performance are kinda poor on this device from what I heard and what I saw... you'll never get something like your laptop for example.
But I'll do some test at home and see how it's going now that I can really connect (I never could before, so I never really tried :wink
Anyway, in my case it was clearly hardware as I have the problem on my Orange rom, then I had the same problem with the Dopod one.
Now I just received a new prophet, and it worked fine on the first try with the Orange rom...
I'd like to try with the Dopod again but until they find a way to downgrade, i won't take the irsk... or maybe yes, i dunno

First of all: Thank you for answering so quick !!!
Yes i can connect, and i can also Use Opera, Internet Explorer and so on...
But i think it is really slow, i never got the connection far away from "poor" ...
Even the original o2 Xda neo rom was not better...
I will have to try some different Roms when downgrading will be made possible i think.

you said your o2 rom wasn't better? is that right?
it is slow for me too (right now i'm on my prophet over wifi)... but i don't think the rom would make a big difference, i mean, the dopod us supposed to be the fastest...
I think the device itself have a poor wifi...
could you confirm that your o2 rom was as poor as the dopod or did i get it wrong?
maybe you could also test your connection speed too.

If you tell me how i can test the Connection, i can do for sure !
I did not "really" test the o2-rom, i started the XDA and after Windows was ready, i saw it is quite slow in the menue - wireless was detected and i connected but signal quality was exactly the same bad thing i have now.
Edit: TXRATE is "Auto", after 2 Minutes or so it drops to 2Mbps

408 Kb/s is what I get when I run a basic speed test.
that ain't bad... and I t ink pocket IE is quite slow too...
We are not on a PC after all, the proc speed also affect the connection speed.
I think that it's already nice to have wifi on a little device like this

I`ll do a DSL-Speedtest, i think this is what you did, too ?
EDIT:
Downloading is very fast can you give me a clue wehre i can exactly see the speed?

exactly

Mhm, after a new Hardreset a interruped the *.cab file installs with the first reboot - The System is much faster now. The Wireless Quality is not better but i can Download and Phone via Skype without any Problems and interruptions.I Think my System had an overload, now it is fast and it works.
I will test the wireless range tomorrow...

GPRS prob with xda neo

My o2 wapflat ist working fine most times. and i use pushemail trough this also. but sometimes the gprs connection im using 24 hours a day shows that is is connected but no more sync or even internet works. if i try to reconnect i dont even get a connection to gprs. Only a softrest does help.
Can somebody help?
P.s. I did not install the crappy o2 software from ext.rom

Hallo Sebi
Cannot help you much, only report that with Base flat and Cortado Direct Push I experience no such problems. If GPRS signal is lost out of coverage the device automatically reconnects, and the device never shows GPRS running when in fact there is no connection. Maybe there is a GPRS sensitivy setting in the registry, but I can only speculate. Good luck.

I think the problem is comming from phonealarm. i just get the new beta an know the problem is gone.

PRB: BT is off in standby mode

hi
I know this is an old problem, but its the most annoying for me.
I want bluetooth to be on all the time even when the device is in standby mode.
Please help me solve this GIGA problem, it made me crazy
Thx

any help there?

Bluetooth stays on in standby for me, using WM6 and back on the old T-mobile UK ROM it was the same. Only WiFi turns itself of during standby.

For me, when someone tries to send me via BT while the phone in standby mode, he simply can't connect to my device.
The device must be turned on before BT connectivity.
Any help guys?? its really urgent

Radio Upgrade also improves WIFI connection?

Hello People,
I have a question,
I'm having big time problems losing my WIFI connection, after like 15 minutes.
It still says that i have a connection and that's correct, only no Internet connection. the only thing I have to do then is disable WIFI en enable, and then it's fine for 15 minutes (sometimes more, sometimes less).
I flashed original Roms and Cooked Roms, but the problem persists.
If I update the radio, will it also help to improve wifi? or is it for signal fot network improvement only?
Btw.: does somebody have the same problem as me with there Artemis?

It sounds like you have a hardware fault. An upgrade of the Radio will not improve WiFi reception. An upgrade of the Radio should improve the clarity of your calls and also the batery life.

Is there anything I can do? the strange thing is, it will happen always after 10-15 minutes. Sure this is a hardware problem? And also what I find strange is that nobody has this issue with a Artemis, (couldn't find anything). If it was a hardware problem, isn't it so that there must be more users with this problem?

it might be a hardware fault caused by something u did (dropped etc). You should be able to get it fixed for free by the company u bought it from, if its under a year old.

I have exactly same problem since upgrading to official o2 wm6 rom - connection to home router drops after about 10 minutes, but wifi light still flashes on orbit /cannot switch comm manager off without soft restting orbit. Tried hard reset to orbit /restoring default router settings, still same.

I have experienced that problem with my HP RX 3715 and Imate Jam also with FS Loox N560.
WiFi Connection drops after about 15 to 30 minutes.
When I changed my wireless router, the problem disappeared.
I use Belkin 802.11B/G

Using a router ?
I would have a go at updating the firmware on your router, it solved my wireless problems (laptop dropping)
Need help drop me a message

I will buy another router to see if the problem disappear.
Thanks..

I had that same anoying problem on linksys access point in office. In home im using edimax, its lose connection too but not that often. I have HTC Artemis. Can someone help me?
btw. 3 laptops use linksys ap in office w/o any problem. Also I dont have any problem with my edimax ap on few laptops. Its only on my HTC Artemis.

I have the same problem.
As you said updating ppc rom or updating the latest router software didn't solve the problem.
What i do is turn off the ppc then turn on again after 2-3 seconds the wifi is working again.
If there is a real solution please share with us....
