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)
Hello Guys,
since i got the DHD i use tasker to do a couple of automated actions to improve battery life:
- Only activate Wireless when i'm at home
- Only activate GPS wenn i start a satnav app like Sygic
But i wonder if this is really a useful improvement.
So if i deactivate the "search for near wireless hotspot" function - Does wireless really drain the battery faster if always on?
And if no satnav app is started and gps is always-on - Does this really makes a difference to my solution?
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Regards
Daniel
a good wifi signal uses less power than a bad GPRS/3G/HSDPA signal, and i use gps always on, and dont notice any diffrence

That's right. But i don't mean the difference between using wifi or 2g/3g/HSDPA.
I mean the differrence between wifi always on and no known wifi near and wifi only on when a known wifi near.
and i use gps always on, and dont notice any diffrence

Okay, thanks for that.
If the wi-fi is connected it doesn't use much power. And yes that is if the signal is good. But if there is no access point and it keeps searching it drains more power. I spend a lot of time around routers where I am connected with good signal so 1-2 hours of just searching doesn't bother me that much.
As for the gps mine is always on in the settings, but if there is no application that uses it, it automatically switches off, and then back on when it is needed. That can be very easily noticed by its icon in the notification bar.

Hi,
I have huge issues on my TF with Wi-Fi, I am really despaired with it. Signal strength is weak even if I am standing very close to my router - on default wi-fi icon it shows 2 sections of 3 and Wi-Fi Analyzer says signal is -55db. Few steps away it drops to -63db. And If i decide to go to another room signal stays around -66db and connection drops in and out like hell, sometimes it just can't connect at all for minute or so.
First thing I was thinking it's my router transmitter is week - it was abit old, but I never heard problems with it before. So I bought new router 300mbs N router with 3 antennas and very good signal. This not helped at all. Signal strength shown by Wi-Fi Analyzer remains pretty same with all other problems.
I've tried various wireless settings - b/g/n only, various channels, security on/off etc, I've tried various ROMs - not much difference. I am beginning to think there's some hardware malfunction on my TF but still hoping I missed something. May it be that TF is performing badly with this exact router? My Nokia Symbian phone shows excellent signal strength overall whole flat and I don't have any disconnects sitting in farthest corner.
Any advise welcome. Thanks
i have a Samsung galaxy tablet (the original). using wifi analyzer, the transformer consistently has a 10 dBm lower signal level than the galaxy.
I hadn't compared the signal level with my Incredible, but looking at it side by side also shows the 10 dBm lower signal...

Hello every one, this is my problem with Elephone S7:
When activated, the WiFi, after a few minutes goes on standby and no longer works.
can you help me?
my best regards
Hello,
i can not confirm this problem but have you checked your wifi-settings on your phone. May its defined that your phone wont let WiFi activated in stand-by.
You can check this under "advanced" option in wifi settings.
What means "No longer Works"? Did the phone lost the complete connection - no signal?
Has your phone still an ip-adress? You can also Check this under advanced in wifi settings.
What IP-address lease time is configured on your wifi router?
Best regards

for no longer works i mean that i've turn off, and again on, to use again WiFi, but after minutes i've again off and on
In wifi settings the option for wifi in "always on".
i've an ip address on the phone, and my router works wit other smartphone/tablet android.
sorry for my english
I bought an Elephone S7 recently and have similar problems. This is more prominent when wifi signal is weak. Very annoying.
In general, I get very poor WIFI performance. I compared with my wife's old HTC M8 and S7's performance is 5 to 10 times slower.
I am trying to return it.

some bugs in the rom, some lag
camera is very bad and also the software is even worst
dont buy this phone
Rate this thread to express how you think the Redmi Note 8's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
i have wifi bluetooth interference issue . wifi become super slow when connected to Bluetooth speaker
Using xcloud with Bluetooth adapter and wifi, xcloud is very slow. Using 4G is fine so suspect the same issue with Bluetooth and wifi interference, although on 5GHz wifi.
Me too.
Also WiFi Hotspot is very instable if Bluetooth activated.
Although the bluetooth is disabled, the wifi speed is very slow.
Redmi Note 8 has the worst wifi speed that I have seen in a smartphone ?
Can someone compare the wifi strength with another phone using an app like wifi analyzer?It would be very useful for those who are interested buying this phone like me.
hello;
I share with you the solution of the problem related to wifi (when Bluetooth is activated).
there is a setting to deactivate in the authorizations of the applications which uses Bluetooth (uncheck authorization to cut the wifi by a Bluetooth application (airpods, mi fit .... etc).
the software gives priority to a Bluetooth application instead of wifi, you have to look for this application that uses Bluetooth and go to the settings to deactivate the authorization who cut the wifi / slow down
settings
authorization
other authorization
scroll down to the application who use the bluetooth (airpod, mi fit,........)
uncheck: change wifi connectivity authorization.

what is the bluetooth/wifi performance like after this?

the wifi / bluetooth problem is caused by this option in the settings.
bleutooth has priority over wifi; just deactivate in authorizations
therefore, the wifi download speed problem is caused by the software

but does it impact the performance of either the bluetooth or the wifi?
for example, does the bluetooth become unstable instead of the wifi?
I'm 100% sure that the wifi range is worse compared to redmi note 4x. Where the RN4x mido fared without problems, the RN8 ginko loses signal... Miui 11.

Where in the settings is this in? The only menu I can find regarding "Authorization" is "Authorization and revocation" which has essential applications of the phone.

Alrighty thanks. I did that and the WiFi is still just as bad :\
I came here looking for slow wifi speed solution. Now i am pretty sure this phone has some different wifi problem..
I get slow speed. Not always but at random times speed drops very low. Like 2 3 mbps.. i have fiber connection.
Secondly i also agree the bluetooth problem. I also noticed noticiably drop in speed while bluetooth in connected. Its not a problem with other 2ghz devices. U gt 1 2 mbps which is too slow.
I hope some update resolves this.
Whoever is facing please report this bug from the service and feedback app in the phone.i have done.
Just writing here wont solve.
Here's a comparison of the WiFi speed on my rn8 and my mi pad 4 plus. I think my rom has wrong WiFi drivers or something

So basically it's MIUI that's having this incompatibility and any other ROM's it's fine?

That just looks like you're connected to 5Ghz WiFi on the Pad. 72Mbps link speed is common for most phones on 2.4Ghz WiFi (without any channel bonding/dual spatial streams/MIMO). And even on 72Mbps link speed you can get around 4MBps data rate easy.
Not good at all, this phone looses signal in places I never had problems before...
