Wireless tether

Does anyone else have a problem where wireless tether seems to cause the network connection to become intermittent and sometimes a page won't load?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

mines worked perfectly so far, and that's in an area with subpar reception too.

Ive got the latest version of wireless tether for the inc too. I know its not a signal problem, I have a Verizon tower 2 miles from my house and get great 3g reception indoors.

The new versions wifi has problems with me. The version that comes with the 10 minute root video/package, seems to work. I'm having a problem at the moment because I upgraded on accident with a new rom. In the process of trying to fix that.

Wifi problem

Hello guys, I download all cm7 roms , like royal ginger , nighties, and more all I get is 1 wifi bar and sometimes 3 but it drops to 1 right away. Is there anyway to fix this?
Thanks

Have you tried different radios+kernels?

Have you tried getting closer to the WiFi router, or putting it closer to you?
Radios and kernels won't help, if the problem persists over different ROMs - it's either HW problem (WiFi antenna connection) or lack of knowledge and high expectations. And radio has nothing to do with WiFi whatsoever.

Poor wifi signal? Any fix?

So I have acouple of other phones, and they all have great wifi reception, but with my g2.. even when I'm next to the router... I still don't get full reception... any ideas?

yep, i think cyanogen has lower wifi volts than stock so u get less range.
i made a barebones stripped ROM based on the newest tmo OTA, i made optimizations to get better battery life, and stripped tons out to get the most ram possible, and keep the ui fast and snappy.
my newest version 1.3, offers the best battery life in any rom that i have ever used, its super fast (no need for OC), offers the most free ram and is located here :

give it a try!

Ah nice will sure be giving it a try!

I have thought that CyanogenMod has a bit weaker wifi reception, but I believe it also suffers another bug: the wifi icon will often go dark even when you have a full signal... So I think looking at the icon can be deceiving. Mine will go dark, looking like a bad connection, but will indeed work just fine.

To add make sure the setting under Wireless Networks > Wi-Fi Settings > [menu] > Advanced > Wi-Fi Sleep Policy is at your preference for when the wifi turns off at screen sleep.

So nope still not fixed tried the from, same. any other ideas? Or there's any way to up the voltages ?

Wifi problems...

My note always receive low wifi singals n low speed while other devices like ipad n sensation have full signals...can someone help me with that...

The wifi signal icon sucks.
Its mean nothing...
If you wanna see the real strength of your wifi, check with "wifi analyzer" or similar from market...

Bt even the download is slower thn other devices

hey dude from th photo the note has 3 lines full which is same with i-pad
just joking hahahaha

I agree about the Wifi. In areas where Wifi is weaker, my iPod Touch performs far better than the Note in connecting

Same issue with me from past two days of usage.
Which version of OS are you using as mine is DDLA1(Unrooted) and I am facing the same issue, I can say this because I have used older firmware version(DDKL1) earlier that was rooted and wifi was excellent.

Never had this problem with all the version I went through. Now I'm on stock rooted LB1
Sent from the beast

I agree completely. The Notes wifi is quite weak. Can a new modem improve this?

the wifi signal is comapriably slower than my old hd2, side by side they are both connected via n signal to the router, note is showing 52mb and the hd2 running android is showing 58mb

I get much better connection on the other side of my house than any previous phone or tablet. I must say that even a couple of metres from the router I can get only a couple of 'bars', but download is still very fast.

wifi much slower
Even i have been experiencing the same problem and with that my wifi also loses its network some times. ....also its slower my other phones

Modem does not control wifi.

I am on basebans lb1 and build lb2

In my case I experience the same low bar and slow speeds. But worst of all, I can't connect to my wireless N router (only G) , the Note doesn't even see it!
I'm on ICS MidNote 2.0
Any ideas?

Do a search (not being mean/rude, just not at a computer to find it for you) about WiFi on the Note in either this or the Q&A section. I read about a month ago that there's a text file that contains the authorized WiFi bands for your country, and since there's no US ROM the bands listed are incorrect. Of course you have to be rooted to change it (which you are), but I'm not so just living with G.

I rooted my device yesterday and flashed AbyssNote Kernel 4.2 and Wifi seems to work fine.

i also got this wifi problems, the htc desire hd got a much better signal

This is a big issue with my Note too. Sometimes signal will be showing aa strong, but then I get message....cannot connect to the server. Compared it to my s2, and the s2 had no problems making a connection.

Reflashing radio after flashing rom

I have been having bad signal and sluggish data speeds after flashing a rom. On any rom I was choosing actually. And then I decided to give it a try after almost 6 months of being rooted to reflash my current radio and I noticed immediately the difference.
Is this a known problem or am I the only one? I know flash my radio after every rom.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

Your radio is not altered when flashing a new ROM. By reflashing your radio after every ROM flash, you're only increasing the possibilities of something going wrong and leaving you with a brick. The radio is the most dangerous thing to mess with and radio flashing/reflashing should never be taken lightly.

But why is that I get signal drops and slow browser on every rom even on stock rooted
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

Your ROM does not touch the radio. The radio resides in a partition not touched by recovery.
Flashing a radio is dangerous. Failure = a bricked device.
I'm not sure why you're having this result, or if it is a placebo effect. All I know is ROM does not affect Radio performance

But I do notice a big difference in the time it takes to load a web page after reflashing my radio as well as no more signal drops

Did you flash the same radio version or a different one?

I just reflashed the same radio that was already on my phone

Shaky service in your area? Is WiFi like this too because it might be the hardware
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

Nope wifi is perfect, my wife has a sensation 4g which never has a call drop and we live in the Miami area and I would get call drops in the middle of the day in the city.
It happened on virtuous affinity (but I know sense 3.5 has kind of a problem with signal, correct me if I'm wrong), virtuous unity, lee Droid the latest one, everything. Until reflashing my radio I don't understand why.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app

In Miami too... I just reflashed to the latest GB radio from Panache stock and it did feel like it was giving me better overall service. On Sense Roms though I do notice an occasional signal loss and then it comes back and a lot of times it's while sending SMS. After the last time going from Dark Unicorn back to ARHD I was not receiving some messages from my g/f and she wasn't getting some of mine, if I did they were late (that didn't make her happy, lol) but I think it is better now. Maybe it's T-Mobile, maybe my Android doesn't like her iPhone.

Actually I just flashed the latest version of miui.us v4 and I can say that it has the best signal on any rom I tried and didn't have to reflash my radio as compared to just changing from the last GB version of miui.us which needed a radio reflash
