Hi All,
is it possible to change the registry in order to boost the wlan reception?
Or is there an other way to boost it?
Thanks in advance.
Change the setting in wifi to "Better performance"
i found this entry, too ... but there is no improvement ... :-(

My ATT 8525 doesn`t seem to have near the range as my old ipaq 4155 as far as how far my wifi will pick up. Even in my own house, sometimes it doesn`t want to connect well. I found one setting that I could change to best performance rather than best battery life, but that `hasn`t helped much. Is there any way to boost or tweak this performance level? I running the original WM6 upgrade.
thanks.

Hi,
i buyed an Omnia i900 last friday, everything is oky but, eyerywhere where i go, the singnal strenghts is very low when i turn on WLAN. is it possible to "boost" up the strenghts of the signal? perhaps with some regestry tweaks?
I tried to enable 802.11g, but this has no great effect. Is it posible to get a bit more power to the antenna or something like this?
thx a lot!
i have the same problem not found a fix or anything yet!
i have the same issue. upgraded to latest rom dxia5. still low signal . i guess this is a common problem.
i know there are many threads on subject, but none fits exactly...
considering the fact, that i must have high performance setting enabled to be able to succesfully connect via wifi, is thete a chance to gain better signal using even more power by using stronger battery ?
i've seen 2200mAh battery for Jade, will this provide more power or it just lasts longer ?
sorry if my question sound stupid, but i have no knowledge about electonics...
p.s. anyone using this battery ? does it lasts 2x longer ? [over 1100mAh]
It will just last longer.
.. and remember, signal strength also depends on the wi-fi router itself. Some transmit stronger signal, some weaker.
With a stronger battery it will only last longer when the battery will be empty.
I think that a radio rom-tweak will work.
but did you change the wifi settings to "high performance"

can you explain please ? what is radio romk tweak ?
My wifi signal is very bad on my td2 so i want to improve it..
How can i do this? is there a program for it.. ?
I have already set it to best performance in winmo
Hi there
Am confused. Am running Manila 2.5 and have recently installed an icon set for the Comm Manager. Previously when I went into the Comm Manager the 3G option (which is labeled 'Change to GSM',)was marked as OFF (this was how it was when I first used the phone and I have never had a need to change that). But since I installed the new icon set, strangely, when I now go into the Comm Manager I notice that the 3G option in showing as ON (Green) and I cannot turn it off. I tap the On/Off button but unlike the Wireless or Phone options nothing happens.
I do not believe that I need the 3G functionality to be on (as it was not showing as such until recently, and as far as I know I do not want to 'change to GSM') when I have the Data Connection on, and therefore I would like know how to switch the 3G off (incidentally I can switch the Data Connection on or off at will)?
Can anybody help/advise
Many thanks in advance.

What phone do you have and what ROM are you running? If I understand your question correctly you are asking about switching between 3G and EDGE (aka 2.5G) at will or on demand. If so you need to do a registry edit. Using your registry editor go to "HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting" and change value of "ShowUMTSBandPage" to 1. Do a soft reset and this should do the trick.
However my question to you is why would you want to do this? You do lose speed because EDGE is a slower connection. Not to mention you cannot do both data usage and phone calls simultaneously. Only in a few instances could I see this tweak being truly helpful (aka being in an area for extended time where 3G bandwidth is extremely weak and cuts in and out a lot). The one benefit would be possibly better battery life.
Hope this helps.

Hi aybarrap
Thanks for the reply.
Have reviewed the situation and conclude as per what you have said that the gains are outweighed by the losses...so I will stick with 3G.

3G eats alot of battery, GSM all the way if you never use HSDPA (WiFi + WEP cracker ftw).
Anyway it's: settings (in HTC slider) > wireless controls (comm manager basically) > press on phone > scroll down to the bottom and choose BAND > change to GSM/WCDMA (3G)
Glad I could help. Just keep in mind that if you are big on battery life this is definitely the tweak for you as mentioned by ArtieQ. I personally use this tweak because my workplace gets low 3G signal and I tend to drop calls if I don't apply this tweak. Not to mention the battery life is eaten super fast by all of the switching back and forth. I turn on EDGE only at work and back to 3G when I get off.
