weak wi-fi

Compared with my other phone (Nokia E51) Touch 2 has a very weak signal strength (w-fi). When Nokia has a 70% signal strength, my HTC sometimes breaks the connection - weak signal. Why? RADIO ver: 3.53.25.20

hi there
I don't have this problem, my Mega works just fine and preaty good signal for wi-fi

I am looking for application that show wi-fi signal strengh in % value. Then I could test the device further.

WiFiMonster , google it shows the dB of the signal !

you more than likey have powersaving enabled. Turn off powersaving and you'll experience much better (and faster) wireless

my wifi only weaker than pc

3G problem

Does anyone have a problem with internet connection when connected on 3G with weak signal?
It seems that phone prefers 3G even when signal is so low that internet just doesn't work. I had to turn it off and my internet connection now always work, but EDGE is as fast as I can go. It's really annoying.

I noticed it, but when i try to change signal manually (##634# and *#2263#) i see that Edge signal is low as 3G, so i think it is not a problem.

I use wifi for internet but I have that problem at my house, 3G is very weak and it only works in a couple rooms. Can't text in other rooms unless it's on edge but it always tries to connect to 3G.
I had to use Samsung Tools to enable the 3G switch in settings. I turn it off when I'm at home and so far it has been working great.

Badly need of help: wi-fi issues - bad signal, droping connection

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...

WiFi with poor signal and out of range

Hi,
I have 2 problems.
1. Phone with 4G and WiFi enabled. Smart network switch is enabled. And there is 2 WiFi available. The phone is initially connected to WiFi A (5 GHz), which has similar strength as of B (2.4 GHz) and both are 5 bars. Then I move to another spot when A has 1-2 bars and B has 4 bars. The phone will remain connected to A and won't switch to B. I think there used to a setting to avoid WiFi with poor signal. But I can't find it any more. What could I do to make it auto-switch to B when A drops to 2 bars?
2. Tablet with WiFi only and no option for smart network switch. I have a set it up to auto connect to an open WiFi at a place and it works. However, when I leave that place, it will remains connected to it, even though it can no longer be found (miles away now). The WiFi tab should show it has 1 bar signal and it's connected. I have to manually connect to another WiFi. How could I fix this?
Thanks

Try WiFi Manager from Kostya Vasilyev at both problems. i believe it will help you
