[Q] Refurbed EVO Wi-fi Connection / Speed Issues when connecting to Router - Networking

I just got a new replacement EVO (from Sprint for $35) after experiencing reboot issues with my first EVO. The phone I got is a refurb, Hardware 0002. The new phone works great except the WIFI seems to pick up almost no wireless connection over wifi.
When I try to connect to my wireless router (even from 3 feet away) my EVO has almost no signal strength (-70). Even then, the connection is slow (2-3MBS) and spotty, doesn't really work when transferring large files. My wireless network is solid and I use a high-end router.
It seems like I got some bum hardware on this EVO, but I don't really want to take it back because It's already been replaced once.
Since my phone is rooted, I tested the Wifi-tethering, and it seems to work reasonably well when tethering EVDO. I haven't been able to really test my 4G yet.
My question is, whether I can try to do anything on the software end to help the wifi signal, or if I'm just SOL and have to either live with it or do another replacement with Sprint.
any thoughts are much appreciated

Radio Problems ?

Hi,
I have my legend from 3 week s now, and very pleased with it... I has a Hero before and happy to play now with Android 2.1... However... I'm a little bit disapointed with the quality of my network signal nd some other bug that I hadn't on my hero...
Problems...
Wifi signal and Network GSM signal often bad or lower quality than previously... Is that normal and know for future dev...
Browser often doesn't load the Internet page when signal is not good and stop working or show the error loading message, and even if my signal is ok...
So basically my radio version is...
47.26.35.04U_7.05.35.26L
2.6.29-9a3026a7
Build 1.23.405.1 CL139791
Can you help me, is a new rom or radio planned for soon...
thx

did you compare the performance of your Legend with another phone?
my Legend is underperforming compare to my HTC Cruise, but I'm using H3G here in Italy, running only on 3G network.

No i do not compare I juste have problem qith signal quality at all... And yes compared to my hero, it is worst...
Same here, bad WiFi or Edge/3G performance compared with my iPhone 3GS or some other phones I've tested (at the exact same location).

I haven't tested my Legend side-by-side with other phones, but I have an overall feeling that my old HTC Magic was more stable wrt GSM/3G networking.
The main problem for me is that quite often Legend cannot keep connections/phone calls alive when switching between EDGE and 3G networks. I've never had such problems with Magic (on the same operator, Swisscom in my case).
I'm not sure if this happens because of weaker reception, a bug in the Legend's radio, or some sort of incompatibility with my operator's network. (The old Magic was Swisscom-branded, so maybe it was tweaked for Swisscom in some way).
same here
I can confirm radio is generally weak with Legend. It loses GSM/3G connection completely in places where my previous phones (HTC Snap & Magic) were showing weak signal but were still holding connection. Same goes with Wi Fi unfortunately. My conclusion: Legend's radio is weaker compared to other phones. Don't get me wrong - you may never experience any problems if GSM/3G/Wi Fi signal is strong in your areas of inhabbitance. But in my case (work phone - so got to be reachable 24/7) it looks like Legend has Failed.
I've had a magic, hero and nexus one before the legend, and for me the legend seems weaker than hero/magic (which are the same in my experience) but MUCH better than the nexs one.#
Overall the legend has been ok though, the only annoying thing I've experienced is when I go into a no signal area (e.g. underground) and come back, it sometimes doesn't pick up a signal again and stays on no network until I switch off and on. Annoying if it's in your pocket and you've not noticed for a while...
Bad Wifi
I've had the Legend for 2 days now and I'm experiencing severe problems with radio.
Specifically wifi:
* Signal on Legend is VERY low compared to Hero
* I'm also loosing connection all the time, where my Hero was extremely stable
* Problem is worse when I'm using my laptop's wifi at the same time
- When laptop is turned off, wifi is somewhat stable on the Legend, when I'm surfing the web on my laptop AND using wifi on the Legend, I seem to have problems with both. I loose connection on the Legend and wifi on laptop is very slow. When Legend wifi is off, I have no problem whatsoever.
* I sometimes have problems accessing Market, Browser and other apps that require net access.
* Switching between wifi and 3G/Edge seems slow and doesn't always work
I AM comparing the Hero and Legend at the same time. I have no problem with Hero and Laptop running at the same time, only Legend and laptop!
Edit: I now about "early adopter syndrome" where they release something before it's finished. BUT this really isn't a new product in that respect, it's supposed to be an improvement. I did not get the Legend for this hassle. If it persists and nothing is gained from my email to HTC, I'm returning it as a defect product.
Can someone expert here give us more info about this and future dev or problem source ? As for me Even if I like the legend I can not understand how they can launch a device giving lower result that it's previous version : the htc hero... ???
Sooooo, Hero radio is ok and get's good signal strength........Hero is made of plastic. Legend radio is weak, drops connection a lot....Legend is made of aluminum. Is it possible that we will never get good reception on the Legend, that it's not a bug, but a weakness with the metal used. Like The first iPhone......and why they are doing glass/ceramic back in the 4G iPhone....
Just asking...I have the Legend as well if you think I'm dissing the Legend here.
nexus one is plastic and from my experience has considerably worse signal strength
The problem for me is more on the wifi reception even if signal is 3/4 I experience a lot of time error in the internet browser, and it become unusefull...
I juste ahad a reply from the HTC support and SO PLEASE SEND THEM A REQUEST IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM as they told me not too much people 've reported actually this problem so they can not sent the development to the dev team...
"New Response

FM Radio depends on your headphones/earphones since it uses that wire as an antenna.
I don't have anything to compare against, though I am pretty disappointed with the wifi reception... Does it use the ring around the camera lens as the antenna?
Has anyone tried WiFi Fixer?
I've been told that the Legend has trouble with Dlink routers. I have a Dlink 825 and my Hero had no trouble with this router. But with the Legend, I'm experiencing dropped signals and interference with my Laptop connection when the Legend is connected as well. My friend then replaced the same router with a Zyxel one and has full coverage.
Im having the same issues..even when i have strong wifi signal, it often cannot connect to anything and I have to turn wifi off and on. (netgear router)
I also have issues with 3G, the signal is all over the place...when other phones have a good signal, sometimes when i come from standby the signal is gone completely (showing a 'x' on the signal bar), this is in the middle of the city with strong signal from all other phones!
I have turned off 3G and using only GSM and have not had problems since.

well compared to my cowon S9 radio which is perfect the legend is useless. yes i know that its related to the headphones but if a pair of Q-Jays isnt good enough than i dont know what is
as for the internal recievers i have started to have a problem with the mobile data connection. even in a strong location it just doesnt recieve im betting its a software issue tho cause it reads full strength and still does it sometimes a reset of the phone makes it work again but it will randomly cut off after its been on for a while
No problems with wi-fi here (whereas my TP2 sometimes struggles to initially connect) but the GSM radio performance is below what my TP2 gets in the same location. GPRS is possible however. Don't have 3G signal here.
Not sure whether this indicates a big problem as have only had Legend for 1 day but have seen "emergency calls only" quite a few times It kinda comes and goes.
Having said that, the TP2 was a bit flakey here (all mobile network signals aren't great here at home) until the 4.xx.xx.91 radio ROM upgrade, now it's better. (started on 3.something, whatever Voda initially released the 6.1 TP2 with ... I forget tbh)
Hopefully we will see a radio upgrade.

Data issues w/ CM6.1 RC2 + updated radio

Hey everyone. I've been having issues with my data connection and I'm trying to figure out what is causing it. I am using CM 6.1 RC2 and I have the updated radio from the vodafone rom.
For example, when I enter the market, about 50% of the time I get a network error after resuming from sleep and have to click retry once or twice before I can do anything. The data connection is just not reliable anymore (yet before this issue it always was).
I'm just wondering if there is an issue with RC2 of CM or if it is the radio update causing this. Can anyone comment?
I'm not sure this would be related, but after flashing 6.1.0 on my Dream I find it stuck in EDGE occasionally, usually when in the car or after, and in places where I get solid HSPA before 6.1.0. So far, I have to reboot to get HSPA (or 3G) back. There are some notes on updated radio and a kernel to address some radio problems, is anyone else seeing this?
Hi,
I have similar problem. My legend is not with the latest radio or kernel.
The specs are:
CyanogenMod Legend 6.1
Radio: 7.05.35.26
Kernel: 2.6.29.6
The problem that I see is: During the night when the phone is not used it looses the data connection. When I turn it on in the morning there are no mobile network indicators. I have to reset the network ( by airplane mode or reboot) ot get back my data connection.
During the day there are no problems.
I suspect that this happens because of the weak 3G signal in my area. However I use auto setting. ( 2G and 3G)
When I was with stock ROM I haven't such issues with dead data connection during long sleep.
EDIT: I have just upgraded the radio to 7.08.35.21. I will check how it works tonight.
BR
I'm having similar trouble with CM 6.1 released just a few days ago...
I've posted this to Cyanogen Stable Forum for Legend:
h t t p ://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/11966-cyanogen-61-htc-legend-problems-with-3g-connection/
I think I've similar problem as you...
I have updated the radio to 7.08.35.21.
This morning when I woke up I saw no data connection again The signal strength indicator was full with bars!
Anyone has any clue?
I've been having some data issues too, I've had to go to and from Flight Mode in order to get any form of connection (data OR telephone) back, and I occasionally get stuck on GPRS. Toggling "use only 2G networks", waiting for the data to come back and then toggling it off again gets EDGE or H back, but it's pretty flaky compared to RC1 and the older radio.
I think i have the same or similar problem.
It looks like I have a data connection (3g is showing and signal strength is almost full). But when i try to connect to facebook, browser or somthing else what needs a connection it cant connect.
I have a taskkiller running when i kill all the task 90% of the time i will get a connection.
I have the same programs on my phone when i used 2.1 and with 2.1 I never had this problem.
Strangely enough it seems like mine is working much better lately. Maybe there was something up with Bell. I haven't gotten the connection error in days.
After update to radio 7.13.35.05 I haven't had this sissue again.
I will continue to watch he behavior.

Wifi help please!

Was wondering if anyone could help me.
I was loving almost everything about my elocity tablet, but wifi issues were same as initial g tablet.
Firmware came out yesterday that supposedly fixed this and for everyone in the main Elocity thread, it seems to have just done that.
I have applied it but have the following problem:
While I can see all the available networks, I cant seem to join any unless I am almost 5 feet from the router and despite seeing excellent signal I am only getting 1 mb/s link speeds. Rarely it wil go as high as five.
It is not a router issue as laptops and iphones connect fine. I have rebooted router and tried every permutation of wireless secuirty and wireless speed, b/g/n settings (the elocity is b/g only wifi). With no luck
Went to local McDonalds and could pick up 4 surrounding wifi networks with good to excellent signal and connected to them but again only a best of 1 or 2 mb/s.
I will be returning my device on account of this. Being in Canada I won't be able to get another (I am in USa with family for holidays for another week.)
I am hoping there is something in software I could do that might fix this as I like the device otherwise especially with quadrant scores in the 2400 range now.
I tried resetting the device and reflashing the firmware update to no avail. I don't know enough about android or linux to know if there is anything I can do delving deeper into the device to fix this?
It is almost like it only connects at wireless b and not g working so range is short and slow.
any thoughts or ideas before I send back as I have 2-3 days to wait for the RMA label.

Data connection unstable - lost

Hello Optimus 7 owners,
My Optimus 7 already went in warrancy repair for the infamous "reboot issue" and now the problem is gone but... it seems that data connection is absolutely unstable. I wanted to understand if I'm the only one with this problem or if it's a common one.
The data connection constantly switch from max power H to one bar of G, then 3 bar of 3G, then one bar of H and so on without a rule and many times switching even to the "no signal" icon, then resuming in one second. (if it's unclear I can make a video and post it to youtube)
I'm on Vodafone Italy and it's not an operator signal issue because my wife phone (an old Motorola V3) don't has such strange Behavior, and my old HTC Touch HD worked as expected too!
That behaviour translate to an unstable data connection, many time I see timeouts or long wait time before data start to works in apps that use internet.
The strange thing is that if I speak with phone there seems to have no problem...
I'm alone or someone is in my same boat??? What do you think about this strange Behavior?
Here my versions:
SO version: 7.0.7392.0
Firmware version: 1.0.1.10
Hardware version: 1.0.0.0
Radio sw version: 1.0.1.10
Radio hardware version: 0.3.5.0
Bootloader version: 1.5.0.0
SOC processor version: 0.30.2.0
The phone has it's original firmware, I've never done strange things
Thank you in advance to all kind people that will answer
No one with data connection switching between 3G, H, G and no signal like me? I'm the one in the world with this problem??? I can't believe that...!
I have partly observed that behaviour on my set, I tend to have some signal issues as in always very few bars (say one or two) where others using same carrier have full connection.
Not sure if it's a firmware problem, read something about a pending fix from LG but I can't find the article anymore so it might have been bogus.
This can cause the phone to rapidly switch from 3G to E (Edge) to H at times.
It's not such a big problem for me so I guess I really don't think about it much.
/J
I'm thinking about sending my phone again to repair... :'(
Sent from my LG-E900 using Board Express
This is the same for me as well - i live in a bad signal area anyway which doesnt help but the phone will go from full signal to no signal back to decent signal.
A Dell Streak on the same network has much more stable signal.
Must say it has improved slightly in Mango although not that much
Well..... I don't know if I have the same issue. I work in a large building and I know I have a weak signal inside. So most of the day it stays on G, sometimes E if I just pull it out of my pocket from behind something.
The issue I have is that when I know there is a better connection, it doesn't seem to jump on it. I either have to go into the cellular selection in settings or simply reboot it and it will find, display, and fully use H connection. Which I am more than pleased with the performance.
Trouble is, both the office and the house have weak signals so as long as it's G or 3G I'm happy. The only time I get to H is if I'm traveling around town and get to play with it.

This is my first post so I would like to greet the entire XDA community.
I'm facing the same issue (instable 3G connection). With my previous smartphone, a Sony Experia X1 with Win Mobile 6.5 + Manila ROM (thanks XDA!!), 3G connection works like a charm. I think that poor connection performance have as side effect the excessive battery drain (12-16 hr with push email disabled).

I have a similar issue. I live in spain, and it seems that the connection here is an option.
Anyways, like I said, the connection is bad, but many times, the phone switches off the data connection alone for a randoom time. then it comes again.
I used the Word switch off, because, although data connection is off, I can make and recieve calls.
This makes me obviously nervious, because I don't want to call trough phone-line, I want to call through Tango!!!! and chat through whatsapp instead of sms
Can you post system info of your LG Optimus 7?
Particularly OS version, brand and SIM operator. I wonder if it happens when brand of smartphone and SIM are different.
Thanks.

If you want mine you can read them in my signature. Previously I had TIM-IT ROM with Vodafone IT SIM and I had same problem. Today I have reflashed with Vodafone IT ROM and a Vodafone IT SIM, same problem.
I don't know what to do... I don't believe a LG service can fix the problem.... Or yes? Is anyone that sent device to service for that problem??? Please tell us your story!
This is very noticeable on mine - so much so im using a Wildfire S that holds signal perfectly well in the same place (not as good a phone though). Will try and see if locking it to 3G only will help.
Hopefully LG release a firmware update for this.
Some new considerations. Usually I work in an office with poor 3G signal strength (max 2 bars) where I have instable data connection (and voice calls too). Yesterday I worked all day long in another location with good 3G signal strength (at least 4 bars) and I haven't had any connection problem: email (Exchange and Gmail accounts), IE, Market Place etc. always available.
Now I am at my usual office and once again I have an instable data connection. No reset/restart/switch off/fw update in the last three days.
Is it possible that it is only a "bad reception" issue?
How many bars do you have when instable data connection issue occurs?

It's very difficult to tell you how much signal there is at my home (where I've recorded the youtube video) because my LG Optimus 7 is reporting a value from 0 to 5 bars.... Normally it stays at 4 of 5, if I configure not to use 3G it stays to 5 of 5 bars. In My Nokia E65 I've used to compare loading times, the signal is at 100% of the bar.
I really can't understand what's going on with my device... The main thing is that I cannot understand if it's a common device problem or only my device problem. Maybe the second? If that's the case I'll send to repair for the second time my phone (other 3 weeks without phone... ahrg!)
I've the same problems with my LG Optimus 7. My common carrier is E-Plus/base here in germany. Extreme fluctuating signal (switching between 3G, H and E in less than 2 seconds) when starting a "online-app" and it doesn't depend on the location (indoor/outdoor). The Data-Rate is poor and most times i have the "no-signal-sign" in the upper left, but the strange thing is, i can buzz so. without problems...
Looks like a poor programmed signal-display.
no signal
Yes, in fact I noticed too, in these days, that sometimes I'm stuck with "no signal" symbol even if I can ring to my phone... I've also seen the no signal symbol while communicating from internet (yes, wifi was off...) I think the LG driver is very poor, in fact the battery too has the problem that it doesn't update if you don't turn off the device.
I can accept that the signal symbol is not realistic but not that data doesn't come in/out! It's terrible.
I have the issue, I'm from Argentina and I have the same problem, indoor o outdoor it's the same. LG E900H.
I do a Factory reset yesterday and I haven´t this issue anymore. I do it for the battery life, and now I don´t have both issue. May be the unstable connection was the battery problem because the device is looking for signal everytime.
Of course I´m not sure but it´s possible. Good Luck
I have the same issue too.
Try to open MFG app and then select:
7. Engineer Menu
4. Modem settings
2. Band Settings
Select WCDMA Only (GSM only may help also) and reboot phone.
Same here
I'm with Vodafone-it and have the same issue, and even worst: sometimes I loose my connection with Wi-fi, too, at my home, while all other devices continue working.

[Q] Low WIFI performance

Hi, i noticed recently that my wifi speed seemed poor so i did a few test.
-max dl speed is 0.6-0.7 Mbs on the same router weher my wife's Chacha gets 4-10 Mbs;
-the last recording in the bandwidth app shows i was getting around 4 Mbs (about a month ago).
I don't know what happened.
OS: 7.10.7720.68
FW: 2424.11.9.2
HW: 3.15.0.4
Radio sw: 2424.11.9.1
Radio hw: 0.0.0.800
Dose anyone have any ideas?
Thank you!
P.S. i haven't tried a hard reset as i don't want to loose all settings, messages and applications.
EDIT:
I tried deleting some of the wifi settings from my phone and also the settings for my connection.
The first 3 speed tests showed 5-6 Mbs and i thought i fixed it... Sadly it isn't so... the speed dropped back to 0.6-0.7 Mbs. And deleting the settings again didn't fix it.
I am running out of ideas... Please help!
Bump...
...anyone? any idea?
This may be the old wifi/ mobile data bug which has been raised many times... try disabling mobile data and doing the test again.
I have excact same problem. 0,5 - 0,8 Mbps wifi, 4-8 Mbps on 3g... Youtube is useless on wifi.
My another phone Samsung Galaxy S gets almost 30Mbps on my home wlan.

Sadly it's not . I tried that (but forgot to mention in OP).
I get around 2-3 Mb on 3g anyway.

It's the phone, not your router, so there is not much you can do about it... sadly.

Close, but no cigar.
It's probably the combination of the router incl. software and the phone. For whatever reason the negotiated transmission speed between the router and the Omnia is 1Mbps which explains the 0.6Mbit.
This is exactly what happens to me and it has nothing to do with 3G on or off.
You can try the following:
1) If you happen to have a Windows 7 computer with a wifi card you can make it an access point. Make sure your card used 802.11g only, then connect with your Omnia and your speed will go up to 5Mbps or more.
2) If you happen to have a router with dd-wrt you can try forcing the transmission speed to a fixed value. For me 9Mbps works best on my old Linksys WRT54G
So there's still hope.
Good luck.
Ive got ddwrt on my dlink dir-615, and even with static speed I get crap speed on my Omnia 7, which I didn't prieor to Mango. And saying that the design og Wifi (transfer rate negotiation) is part of the problem is just silly. It is the phone that is the problem, no doubt about that Thanks for the tip anyway!
I don't wanna argue whether this is silly or not even though your statement slighty annoys me, to be honest. Having said that, try setting
Network Mode: G only
Channel: 6
Basic Rate: All
Transmission Fixed Rate: 9 Mbps
Frame Burst: Enabled
RTS Threshold: 2270
Preamble: Short
Shortslot Override: Short
The above works fine for *MY* Omnia, maybe not yours. With the above settings I get around 5Mbps instead of 0.6Mbps, tested on two different Linksys dd-wrt routers.
There seem to be two kinds of problems. There are those Omnias where wifi is only fast when data is turned off and others where wifi is always slow (like in my case)
And for me the transmission speed is 1Mbps as I can see on dd-wrt even though I'm 2 ft away from the router. Whatever causes it, the transmission speed should be a little higher, shouldn't it?
Anyway, good luck.
No more wlan speed problems with Lumia 800 With Omnia 7 i had to disable mobile data to use wifi with proper speed.

Hi, i noticed recently that my wifi speed seemed poor so i did a few test.
-max dl speed is 0.6-0.7 Mbs on the same router weher my wife's Chacha gets 4-10 Mbs;
-the last recording in the bandwidth app shows i was getting around 4 Mbs (about a month ago).
I don't know what happened.
OS: 7.10.7720.68
FW: 2424.11.9.2
HW: 3.15.0.4
Radio sw: 2424.11.9.1
Radio hw: 0.0.0.800
Dose anyone have any ideas?
Thank you!
P.S. i haven't tried a hard reset as i don't want to loose all settings, messages and applications.
EDIT:
I tried deleting some of the wifi settings from my phone and also the settings for my connection.
The first 3 speed tests showed 5-6 Mbs and i thought i fixed it... Sadly it isn't so... the speed dropped back to 0.6-0.7 Mbs. And deleting the settings again didn't fix it.
I am running out of ideas... Please help!

Apart from the OS version (which is 7.10.7740.16 on my device),
I have exactly the same issues and the same versions for
FW, HW, Radio sw and Radio hw.
All devices connected to my fritzbox 7330 are shown using 54Mbtit, Omnia 7 connects with 1-2Mbit. however, browsing feels smooth and Youtube is running without interruptions. Bandwidthtest on phone shows 0.5 Mbps mostly.
The interresting thing is, that in the firm I can get it up to 2.1 Mbps.(Guest Wifi, running WEP encryption). A Galaxy S connected to the same WLAN shows 10Mbps.
Setting my home WIFI to WEP temporarily had no effect however, the phone keeps connecting with 1 MBit.
Looks like a common issue though. Maybe related to radio S/W version?
Any ideas appreciated.
Cheers
Mike
I compared once wifi performance between my Omnia7 and friend's Galaxy S.
Unfortunately, it seemed like Galaxy S is snappier and had better reception. Well, maybe this will be improved with some new Samsung drivers, who knows...
