Hi all,
I just got my device, and still thinking whether to send it back in 7 days. My main complain is the wifi. I have never seen more than 2 bars (out of 4) signal strength, even when sitting 2 meters from the router. Moreover it always drops the connection. I realized it when I tried to use IE for browsing, since that doesn't tolerate it and I keep getting the connection lost messages. Seems that Opera can live with it, but I see when the connection dropped during the page load. Youtube watcher also cannot manage to download videos when the signal is dropped.
The Tx/Rx rate also changes chaotically from 1Mb/1Mb to 54Mb/36Mb.
Before you ask: the Power Mode of wifi is set to "Best Performance", since this is the only way it is usable.
Anybody else with similar experiences?
Any solution?
I really appreciate any help, I would like to keep it!
I have no problems what-so-ever with the wifi on my D2...
It runs very well, in all applications that can use it.
- and I have full signal when I am within 5 meters of the router.
I haven't changed any settings on the device, and the router is running on WPA2-PSK at a channel not used by any of my neighbours.
Maybe you have many wireless networks in your area?
Hi,
I have more or less your problems (I opened a thead about it the day I unpacked my D2 but wasn't really condiderated). Here's my condition: I have 3 HTC devices...Artemis-->regular functioning (balanced power), TytnII-->Power Performance MUST be set to high performance, Topaz..well I could connect with balanced power but since I upgraded radio I have to keep it set to best performance, otherwise I would get "fake" connections (connection established but no data taffic). I don't really bother to have to set it like that because the connection is dam fast, which compensates the higher power consumpion.But beside this, I must say that my router is not very friendly with my D2,e.g. when I don't get a connection,I restart it and it works (this must have to do with DCHP service). I have much less trouble connecting alsewhere. So ,what to say? Try to change radio...Do you have other wireless devices working regularly in the same area?Do you have an original rom?You could also try to change wifi channel..would be happy to help
Hi,
Thank you for the answer. I have original ROM, just checked the radio, it is: 3.43.25.19. I didn't experience "fake connections" when it is connected, it is so .
I cannot change the wifi channel, the same router is used by others. However it cannot be the cause of my issues since my notebook's network works fine on the same router.
Changing the radio... seems a good idea. It is my very first smart device, I even thought that this version number was for the hardware, not the software . I will find out how to do it, maybe give it a try. Hope it is an officially supported action .
Hi Lamsebamsen,
The TD2 sees 4 wifi networks, my notebook sees 8. Is it many or not? I think the 4 which the TD doesn't see is many .

I'm afraid not, as you would have to HardSPL your device first. There would still a way to get back to your original configuration but I don't know if you are prone to do so, that depends on how much responsability you can take on your device (is it from work or..). Another thing to try is to manually configurate your connection (e.g. assign D2 always the same IP, but watchout for network collisions!router should be set aswell)

I'm not sure if this is normal or not. I just got my Cingular 8125 and the wifi is very slow. I don't know how to measure the actual speed but for instance on my broadband connection, going to Google.com opens up in about a second. On dial up it takes about 5 seconds. However, on my phone using wifi, it takes about 20 seconds. When using wifi on my laptop, it is comparable to my broadband speeds my router is connected to.
I have pretty slow GPRS service as well and wifi is comparable.
I get the same slow speed on 802.11b as well as 802.11g networks (g network with registry hack)
Is this normal? The wifi speeds with the unit brand new out of the box was very slow. I flashed the rom and even overclocked to 240, the wifi internet is still painfully slow. I don't really find this useable. If I go to a page with images and such it can take a minute or so.
Anyone have any suggestions? Are others getting good speed on wifi. I tested by watching a streaming video and the speed shown on the bottom of windows media was 18k.
Were my expectations too high? Is there a setting I have incorrect?

Always best to be sure that you are actually using the wifi connection - Try disconnecting the gprs first before you connect to wifi. I have an issue where if I leave my gprs connection enabled all the time it takes precedence over my wifi no matter what.

Tried that but still no luck. When connected by wifi, I see the little wifi icon on the title bar. When connecting to GPRS, it shows the E and actually a pop-up saying it is connecting to GPRS. This part is actually working great. Uses wifi by default when wifi is on and GPRS is not.
I did try to disable GPRS entirely but still get the same slow results.
I also changed the wifi setting to maximize performance instead of save battery life. Didn't seem to matter.
I may experiment with Opera Mini or something to see if I can get some improved speeds.
no problems with wifi here. getting a faster connection than GPRS, even at hotspots.
I had a problem with my wifi connection in that the DHCP server giving out an incorrect address for one of the DNS servers. This made the wifi slow, because Internet Explorer kept on trying to lookup the IP of a host using the broken DNS, and then falling back to the second in the list.
You try specifying a DNS server manually to diagnose the problem.
Cingular 8125 WiFi Fix that works!
Believe it or not the support for this product from HTC, the mfgr, is great and fast! That being said, I like most users have spent days hunting for solutions to the problem and you will not find them anywhere. But here is the solution:
First you must have an unlimited account for data usage or forget your WiFi...well at least simply. Also, you must get Cingular to flip a switch for your 8125 to automatically switch from WiFi to GPRS and back depending on what is the best signal. It works great once the switch is set.
The only way I found to do this was to call support and make sure you get to the HTC support group. They will guide you quickly through getting setup but you must tell them about the switch so they call Cingular and have the switch set. For some reason Cingular, no surprise, does not seem to know about this when they sell you the plan and the phone.

Thank you so much. This sounds like the solution I'm looking for. So are you saying to call HTC support and they will contact Cingular to have the switch set on my behalf?? Or do I just call Cingular and tell them to "turn the switch on"?
I do have an unlimited GPRS for data usage.
what a crock of steaming brown stuff :x .... what exactly does wifi have to do with your telco? ... nothing. There maybe some registry entry that Cingular have set when the device ships which causes poor WiFi speeds but your GPRS data plan has nothing to do with WiFi data, unless you are talking about connecting to Cingular WiFi hotspots. The only changes needed will be on your device not within the Telco network.
before calling support, try this:
Go to comm mgr and turn off the phone. Then turn on WiFi and let it connect. Check your speed with www.2wire.com. If your speed is still slow, and another PC connected to that HotSpot isn't (test the PC with 2wire also) then your 8125 is bad.
Using the WiFi icon v.s. the "E" icon is no way to determine what wireless system you're using btw...

Ok, I tried 2wire. My laptop connected to my wifi network and clocks in at 3.2Mbps and my 8125 is showing 221 kbps. multiple tests showed 228, 205, 220). Perhaps it is unrealistic to expect similar speed as my laptop.
I turned the com manager phone back on and connected via GPRS and the speed test came back at 64.8 kbps.
So it does look like this method is working. I can live with 221 kbps.
By the way, I emailed Cingular and HTS. I got the following response from Cingular:
Thank you for contacting Data Support!
There is an additional setting that you need to enable/disable manually every time you switch between GPRS and Wi Fi, please take a look at it:

I think it's always going to be slow because of the way the phone is designed. Probably small bus interface. My friend has a 6700 wich cpu wise is pretty much the same based on comparison but his is much faster through wifi.
"I think it's always going to be slow because of the way the phone is designed. Probably small bus interface. My friend has a 6700 wich cpu wise is pretty much the same based on comparison but his is much faster through wifi."
No no no no no no and no.
small bus interface? for heavens sake... you have heard that there is something called a "bus" inside computers and that it is used to "transfer data" and this "bus interface" is small in the qtek so it is a viable candidate to blame slow transfers on.
no.
any memory bus designed after 1980 is capable of 200kbit transfers.
the main reason for the horrid speed of the 9100 is the stupid software design where every system call in a program gets interrupted by the os which in turn, after checking who-knows-what, in the name of "security" and "stability", and then executed. Of course this hinders performance dramaticaly without affecting stability and security a single bit: it still crashes. the difference is that it is also slow.
I'm running Xelencin's custom 2.17 ROM for T-mobile on my 8125. His ROM sets the device up to work with an 802.11 g wifi connection. I kid you not - I have measured 900 to 1200 Kbps on my wifi at home (comcast) and at work (T1). It's blazing fast.
To measure your speed, go to www.dslreports.com. Click on the lowfi version at the top of the page. Then click on speed test. Then choose either 600K or 1 MB and then let it do the test.
You may have some setting wrong.
I have an 'adhoc' wireless network (running at 11Mbs) and i stream large lossless (FLAC) audio files to my Squeezebox 3 wireless music player with no issues whatsoever.
However, the MDA can't cope at all. FLAC files play great from the MiniSD, but wifi performance is worse than terrible.
Yes, the wifi speed of the MDA is s**t.
That said, if anyone has any tips on how to increase perfomance please let me know!
Thanks.
My Wifi would not work at all when I updated my ROM but this utility fixed that and sped things up. I recommend backing up your device before executing because I have only tried this on QTEK 9100 with a beta 2.8 ROM.

Excuse me for my ignorance... But then how do you explain that the 6700 can handle 700kb wireless while 9100's usually around 220kB? The Intel proc on the 6700 seems comparable to the Omap,no?

What exactly does this cab change?
Reconfiguring DNS may make a significant improvement?
I came across your post after my own concerns with my I-mate K-Jam (Wizard) WiFi performance. My GPRS connection was at least twice as fast.
My problem was that is was taking at least 30~60 seconds to locate a web page and another 10~15 seconds to open the page. Once connected it seemed to work OK but operation via GPRS was still faster.
My K-Jam has a ROM that permits G connection and my AP is set to G only. After reading all the articles in this post (and others), I ran the 600K download at DLSreports.com. To my surprise, my download rate was actually + 500kbit/sec which lead me to believe I might have DNS issues.
I used vxUtil (http://www.cam.com/windowsce.html) to check my DNS settings. My primary DNS being picked up from my DSL modem was the DSL modems gateway address which works fine in my Toshiba laptop. My secondary DNS was my ISP's backup.
I reconfigured my DSL modems DHCP server so that the DNS servers being dished up to my K-Jam are my ISP's primary and secondary servers and I performed a soft reset.
The speed increase was substantial! Pages are located and opened within 5 seconds now making my WiFi connection useable.
This may be worth a try for others with similar issues?
Hi, i recently bought and upgraded a 02 XDA Mini S to WM6 and the wifi seems bad like i have to go right next to the wireless point to get a good signal and even then its not at full bar can any1 help me with this or is it just the wifi is rubbish on the wizard?
thanks,
Kurt
Did you go to start-->settings-->connections tab-->wireless LAN-->power mode tab and set it on best performance? That should give you some more room to work with.
yep still is really bad though about 10 meters and 2 walls away from the router an i couldnt get a signal.
At "10 meters and 2 walls away from the router" I also get no connection -where my Wifi enabled laptop works fine at the same time. Seems like the Wifi on the HTC device is rather weak and operates from a small distance only. Anyways I've learned to live with it.
oh rite well annoying though considering my dell axim x51 can get a very good signal like 30 meters from the access point. is there anyway i can up the power on my wizard? ive got wireless G enabled aswell.
Ya, I have a 7db antennae on my router and I still seem to need to be inside of 20 or so feet, and no walls for my wizard to find the network. I think it's just a weak card.
I also noticed that.
Yes I also noticed that. I have a wifi hotspot subscription and with my old WM5 ROM i can connect and surf without any problem, however when useing any WM6 ROM i just connect poorly and the connection breaks everytime.
Even in my wireless home router i had turn on the name broadcast (enabling WEP of course) in order to connect properly at the first try.
Ive noted this with every WM6 Rom out there and since my device is a G4 i cant upgrade the radio rom. so... well i suffer from this issue also.
Hi there,
I have a new HD and have noticed an annoying problem, although it only happens occasionally. Sometimes opera will grind to a halt. At first I thought the problem was opera but it seems that the wifi connection is being dropped. The icon on the top banner shows that the wifi is connected but it actually isn't. If I turn wifi off and then on again it won't lock on anymore until I soft reset the device.
Is anyone else having similar problems (or ideally know of a fix).
BTW - how do I report these issues to HTC ? Their support forum doesn't seem to invite feedback !
Cheers,
David
I did have a problem with the wifi too, but after changing the power save mode from best battery to mid way solved the problem.
carl
Hope this solves it for you.
Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try.
i have some problem with my w-lan too...
it works great @ home with my linksys WRT54GL!
but at my girlfriend it nearly didnt work... it connects in 2-3 seconds and show a connection icon but there is no data transfer .. i tested all encrypting types from wep-wpa2 but nothing...
atm i dont really understand whats the problem... i will try some another thinks next time i will be there...
I had the same problem then notice my assigned IP address was .58 on the HD which was above the max number of DHCP users (WRT54G set was up to .50) on my router. So I upped the router +60 and appears to have solved the problem.
I have found that none of my HTC phones connect to my wireless with the setting on best battery, I always turn it right up to best performance and it works fine after that
hhmmm interesting @ ip issue ...
i noticed that my touch hd geht .183 and thats really high because my girlfriend has only 1 laptop and here ip is .10
i will try to activate some mac filters and set fix ip adresses to mac adresses... maybe this helps
thx so far!
ok now i tested alot but cant find the reason why w-lan dont work on the d-link router of my girlfriend but working really great on my linksys WRT54GL...
i tried all encryting types...
dynamic dhcp
static dhcp (mac-address => ip )
different ip ranges ( .10 .40 ... .200 )
also i but the touch hd energie mode to best performance...
cant really understand whats the problem... maybe someone else has found a fix?
Hi guys
I have found that the WiFi on my HD to be round very dissapointing. Read my thread here.
It only ever gord to about 50-70% when I'm standing right beside the router (power usage set to best performance). In weak wifi spots, it barely connects and immediately drops the connection. In my room at college, it refuses to work (power usage set to best performance) - whereas my laptop, my friends laptops and iPhones all work great in the same location.
Someone posted a response in my thread above that they put a really cheap WiFi chip in the phone. For me its a deal breaker. It under performs by about 40% compared to normal devices. - Crap!!!!!! (and we paid a bloddy fortune for this thing).

your device is clearly defective. i can browse without problem/conneciton loss from a distance (with 1 wall and 2 doors in between) of 40 feet. however there is a problem (software ?) with the signal strength bar. it shows ALWAYS only 1 bar, altough i stand next to the router. but i dont care ;-)
I gotta know if anyone else is having the same problems connecting to wifi as I am. Whenever I try to connect to my wireless network with any of my devices, it's sporadic. Sometimes it'll connect right away. Most of the time, it takes two or three minutes (!) and sometimes it'll puke on itself and say it doesn't see the network.
In the latter two cases, I can delete the profile for the network and power-cycle the device and it'll connect to the network almost immediately. As you might guess, this is an annoying process to go through.
It never really bothered me until my wife got an iPhone and it connected immediately to the network and does so EVERY TIME SHE USES IT!
Can anyone help me out? Why do these devices take so darn long to connect?
This is the second router I've used (first was a Linksys, currently I'm using a Trendnet), the Raphael (Fuze) and Tornado (SDA) are running their stock ROMs. The Wizard (MDA), I've gone a little flash-happy on, but I've encountered the same problem with all ROMs I've tried.
I'll admit I haven't checked what channels neighboring wifi networks are using (I'm pretty sure I'm the only one on my channel), but when I first got my Tornado and Wizard, mine was the only network (visible) and I was still having problems. And regardless, is the wifi radio in the iPhone that much better than my HTC devices?
(Just a side note, I have three wireless laptops that are all able to connect to the router without a hitch, adding to my belief that my network is on its own channel.)
Just wanted to update everyone that, last night, I checked the wireless networks I could see from my house and none share the same channel as mine, however I didn't take overlap into consideration. The lack of response to this thread would suggest to me I'm the only one encountering this type of problem, so I'll do some experimenting in an area with no other wireless activity and see if connecting is still slow.
O.K. I tested the Wizard and Raphael with a router in an area with no other wireless activity and discovered the following:
If the devices are set for DHCP, it takes a long time to connect. However, they did connect and remain connected without any problems.
If the devices have static IP addresses, they connect immediately and remain connected without any problems.
Conclusion:
The DHCP discovery on these devices takes too darn long to acquire addresses. That, and the slightest bit of EM noise can cause them to crap out. Since I don't have problems with other wireless devices (laptops, iPhone), I'm left with the assumption that either the radio is poor quality (unlikely) or the driver needs some serious fixing (most likely).
When and if the noble developers of this board get linux up and running on the Raphael, I'll be more than happy to test it out.
Since this thread was self-answering and would seem to be of little value, please feel free to delete it, moderators.
My wifi is spotty, at best. I've tried every ROM but every ROM has the same issues: wifi will work for awhile, then it won't, then I power the phone off, then it doesn't work after I power it back on, then I disable it and re-enable it, and it may/may not work. Basically, it's totally unreliable.
I AM running a 2.4 mouse/keyboard combo, but I've tried different channels on my router: 1,6,11 ... they all have issues. My router is a D-LINK 615 and supports 801.11b-n.
I have an iPhone and it is rock solid on the wifi; plays nicely with the keyboard and mouse and doesn't miss a beat. But I REALLY want my HD2 to work: it's more baddass!
Can anyone help me out?
by not working, could you be more detailed? coz if the problem is about wifi went to sleep state after you lock the phone, then there's a settings for that.

Where's the setting?... I must have missed it! I can restart the phone and get the wifi symbol, but the reception bars aren't fully lit... only the very lowest (I'm on a sense build now).
I go into wifi settings and it says 'connected' ... but I try to load the browser, or marketplace, or Amazon AppStore ... and I'm not connected. I disable wifi then I renable it and my wifi bar is full! And the wifi works for, maybe, 30-45 seconds before it doesn't work again.
Really, really odd. And this is how it behaves on all ROMs I've tried.
*EDIT* I just saw that my wifi sleep policy is set to 'never' go to sleep.
I just turned on "best wi-fi performance" but I have my doubts that it will work... and my battery is going to suffer, big time.
I suffer from similar symptoms.
Wifi will show as being connected (but sometimes the signal meter is obviously off), but things like the browser won't load. It'd be nice if wifi just dropped entirely (and then push notifications would work again), but it doesn't. It just doesn't work; it shows as being connected, but I can't load things.
If I disable/re-enable wifi, it works again.
I think most of the time (for me) the trouble is the result of going between different APs or coming back to an AP, but still sometimes problems occur even when I'm sitting still at a single place (I'm connected to a campus network, but I've had this problem happen on a 1-router network before too).
I've found that, overall, the g.lewarne kernel works really well after a few reboots (wifi sometimes still gets "stuck," but not as often...), at least better than Raf 1.9. But... problems still exist.
Hope you find a solution here! There have been several threads with this already...
Thanks! Help installing a new kernel...

I just flashed g.lewarne's GL_CORE_V5 from here:

... I flashed the whole ROM and I'm getting zero wifi. Even with the other kernels I was able to get some wifi, but none with this one. I like the ROM look a lot, but nothing doing on the wifi front.
Anyone else have suggestions??
WPA vs WPA2
Make sure you set ONLY WPA and TKIP in your router settings... I have much more reliable wifi because of this.
Also, choose specific wifi channel ... channel 6 works for me, and I've seen channels 1 and 11 as recommended channels as well.
Mixed WPA/WPA2 and TKIP/AES modes were horrible for wifi
FYI!
My ROMs are working relatively well now... much better than mixed modes (no wifi working)

Ah. Unfortunately I have little control over the wifi infrastructure on campus (I'm in a college environment). That said, I'm not connected to the WPA2 Enterprise ssid but the unencrypted one.
Good to hear you found a resolution!
I have found that WiFi works just as good as my laptop when I'm running Windows Phone 7. Much faster at connecting and can connect further to the edges of signal then Android. I wonder why this is.
