TYTN - Weak WIFI Signal

Hello All,
I am wondering if you can help. I have a Linksys N router at home which is supposed to be 4x the area of coverage from a g. It is in my basement and the signal in my bedrooms is very weak. I purchased a Linksys signal booster and plugged on the first floor to repeat the signal to the bedrooms.
Here is the problem: I use my TYTN on the first floor close to the basement window and the signal is ok but when I move farther on the first floor the signal becomes very weak - not to mention how weak it is upstairs in the bedrooms.
I tried it with my Univeral and it is a killer full bar signal. This leads me to believe it is either my wifi is busted on my TYNT in terms of reception or they have very weak WIFI antenas. Can someone confirm if they have a similar problem?
Thanks,
Gilbert
yes i think there is a problem with the signal
he is very weak!
Both Universal and Blue Angel have better wifi signal than hermes...incredible... I wonder how htc project device...

At least it got better WiFi-signal than the Wizard...
Change the mode to 'best performance' and try again.
Cheerio

I don't know about Universal, but I have a BlueAngel and it doesn't have better wifi signal than Hermes. Hermes a lot better for me, mine is an HTC TyTN (WWE) #628.
FWIW I have both Blue Angel and Wizard devices -- the Wizard's WiFi is far superior to the BA. The BA can barely pick up the signal for my office network, but the Wizard can connect to it from outside.
You should try to adjust the battery vs. performance slider in wifi settings
and report if the signal is stronger then.
I haventh had the opportunity to test the wlan yet myself.
Guys, i have use ALL HTC devices so far and i can surely say that their wifi chipsets in terms of signal strength is totally crap( i have made lots of tests comparing to other PDA brands).
I haven't used an HTC Hermes so far but i am afraid( judging from your saying) that the problem still persists.
I've done a quick test: opened wififofum on BlueAngel and Hermes, and walked around the house.
BA found 13APs, while TyTN found 22. At some point BA was seeing 7/13 while TyTN 11/22.
So, TyTN is far superior
Well here is the deal.
I tried my universal in my bedroom and it has full bar and then tried it with my Tytn and it has one bar!!!!!
I have a linksys N router in my basement and a signal booster in the first floor and this is adquate to boost the signal to my second floor bedrooms. But instead, all other devices have excellent reception but my tytn has one or two bars to the max when i put it in best performance mode. I am running a surge on wifi signals in my house and it is still weak.
WTF
Gilbert
Sorry If I'm kinda jumping or hijack this thread. Although this thread I guess is better than I start a new thread. My Prophet also sucks when receiving WIFI signals. I have an Alpine, an 02 Zinc, a nintendo DS, a laptop. dudes, my prophet couldn't even receive signal on the next room adjacent to where my router is. but for everything else in my devices, it can go as far as outside my house. probably 15meters away from the wifi, but can still browse. my prophhet can only receive wifi signals if i put my phropet besides the router itself. then slowly moving away but not exceeding 10 FEET. I mean what the hell is the wlan for if it ain't going further than 10 eet from the router. in my devices here's from the farthest to the weakest:
1. My Laptop of course: can still watch youtube outside the house.
2. My Alpine: dudes the signal rocks! even thru my inside gates.
3. My Zinc: slightly nearer than my alpine.
4. My NDS: kinda halfway than my Alpine.
5. My Prophet: worse: you should be beside the router. then why i don't i just open my dang PC and browse from it.
I have all these device with me.
for about sometime I also had the nokia n91. wifi signal's pretty good too. I just sold it out since when browsing heavy sites, the explorer turns off. I freakinly hate my prophet for it's ridiculous wifi connection. Currently I'm flashing all available rom there is just to test my WIFI reception. Hope you guys observe my tests. thanks!
What I want to say is that the wifi singnal has matters with the barrier in the space and the network condition itself. Beside that ,I made a test before,the wifi singal on WM6.1 was better than WM6.Maybe you can try to update your OS version.

Bad Wifi Reception

Hi,
I have noticed that my 8125 gets pretty poor wireless reception. If I am in a place where my laptop gets a good signal, my phone will have only 1 bar for wifi. When it only has one bar, it takes a very long time to load pages if it does it at all.
Any ideas?
Whats your radio rom version?

Poor WI-Fi reception on my Tytn

hi!
I have really bad/no wireless signal from my router which is just 4 meters and one wall away, while my MacBook shows full strength at the same spot.
I'm using Black ROM 3.0.1. And I have set signal to "Best Performance" at the wifi settings.
Is there any SW to improve this issue? Is there anything at all to help me?
Thanks!
hmm wierd
i catch signal even 30m far from my router (behind few walls). i never had any problem with my wifi recepion, maybe radio rom is too old ,which one are u using ?
don't think so. I use 1.54.00.10. What do you think?
same here, receptioin sux...i'm using the att official wm6 rom...it happened on wm5 for me 2
I am also having the same problem. I am only 3 meters away and I have no signal. My laptop has full signal at 30 meters. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, welcome to the club mate, same here, I can't barely make phone calls, everytime I grab the phone it loses all bars ... don't know why thou, also I've got this annoyin bug with simcard as well. Everytim I restart the phone it tells me simcard has changed, if I tap on it, the com.android.settings app crashes ...
weird
2g and wifi have improved a lot for me...
froyo does seem to get a bit confused over picking 3g/2g in weak signal areas....
Please try the following:
1. Go into connection settings for your mobile network (not wifi), save settings without changing anything.
2. Restart your router and let your legend relocate it
3. Restart phone
I found these tips from google on related issues and it actually hepled my most immediate wifi problems, namely it spontaneously crapping out for no reason and could help yours as well.
Please try it and let me know if it helped, even though it sounds far-fetched.
Hello
Did you tried to boot in bootloader mode, then doing a CLEAR DATA ? (It will erase everything on the phone excepted 2.2, so backup everything:sms,contacts,apks)
How to boot in bootloader mode
please give me step by step details

<< Signal Difficulties >>

Ok... Here's the deal. I actually have signal but its extremely weak.
IN THE HOUSE ( BEFORE: always signal 3-4bars, NOW: basically no signal) .
OUTSIDE (BEFORE: full bars, NOW : 2-3 bars with an occasional 1 bar)
DRIVING (BEFORE: basically full bars, NOW: fluctuates 4 to 1 bars with various dead spots, which is very uncommon)
Does this sound like a hardware problem, radio rom issue, or something i am completely unaware of?
Im also noticing that my phone is the only device that does not pick up the Wifi signal in the house?
UPDATE: No signal in the house or outside? Data connection is ON.
If i go to SETTINGS then go to MOBILE NETWORKS, it shows that DATA ENABLED is checked.
it could also be a radio problem? try the above solution, if not then we'l proceed in trying to help.
Data Connection is on, BUT no signal reception inside and , now , even outisde the house. No matter what changes i make in "Mobile Networks", nothing changes there. Wifi scanning in the house is non existant but works in commercial settings that have an open source.

You say before and after, but you don't say before and after what. Did you change radio, change ROM, change bootloader etc.? Or has it just randomly started happening?
referring to 7/5/12 and 7/6/12 to now.
Things ive done:
Problem started on previous rom. (coredroid) so i figured i would change roms and radio roms.
installed radio rom 2.15. but with rom change and radio change, still had current problem.
As of yesterday evening it would work somewhat consist when i was outside, but signal fluctuated alot.
The minute i got back into the house, i would lose complete signal. (very very rarely would it get a limited signal)
And today, i have only had signal one time. None outside. Is there a recommended radio rom i should install?
Or is it simply the sim card needing replaced due to abrasion on it. (one is being shipped now)
Trouble shooting #2
Swapped out the sim card and placed in my HD Desire and signal is fine on the HD Desire.
But still highly limited signal when the sim card is placed in the HD2. (basically no signal)
What can the problem be? Faulty antenna? Hardware issue?
