Wich kernel has the best wifi reception

I have te lastest miui and tytng r9 kernel but the reception is horrible i now cause my bro's nokia 5800 finds a lot wifi hotspots that my hd2 cant find so wich kernel has the best reception?

anyone???????

provide more info. did you set your hd2 to show all wifi hotspots or maybe just the ones which dont require authentication? do you use some type of software which shows you all available hotspots? we cant read minds :/
for me the tytungs kernel are the best in every aspect.

i had tytng 8.3 i thnik and that had the best reception and i flashed then to r9 and from there my phone's wifi doesnt work very well,reverted back to 8.3 but now it is still the same and i use stock android wifi "sercher" duno how is it called and i didnt touch any options in MIUI

so?????????

me too i had tytng 8.3 with miui 4.2 themed and all is perfect wifi conexion etcccc.. i think is beter than the news tytng r9 go back to tytng 8.3

Check if there are the same files in both tytung packages, maybe r9 left something in the system or mybe your issue might be Rom related..
Btw, i use tytungs 8.3 and i dont plan to change it. Since i installed this kernel i am really happy. Battery is lasting almost forever its still on 70-75% after 12 hours of moderate usage, this is really great for me.

with 8.3 it was great but now i reverted back to 8.3 but still nothing

Poor WIFI connection compared to cheap ZTE Blade

I bought the Streak 5 recently.
Stock ROM had poor WIFI compared to the ZTE Blade running CM7. I couldn't get a signal in my room compared to a fair signal on the blade.
I've updated to Streakdroid 1.9.1 with 351 baseband but there are no changes to WIFI.
Are there any known fixes or roms which have a better WIFI connection?

+1 for this. Seems that it had Fair <-> disconnect behaviour.
Hope there's a way by changing config. Or else move my house AP for better spots. Just for the sake of this device

[Q] wifi signal not strong cm7

anyone having issues with their wifi signal not being strong even if you are close to router?
not that big of an issue but it would be great to get it running up to par since i had better signals running the stock froyo.

might be that your internal wifi card got messed up happened to me on the iphone 3gs.

Works awesome for me.

I noticed it too, its one of the reasons I don't use cm7. I have to use wifi calling in my room and the signals sketchy.. its good enough to pick up on sense roms but the signal was rarely strong enough to connect on cm7. Maybe try a different kernel? MiUI is cm7 based and I always got good wifi with tdj's kernel, so maybe you wanna give it a shot.

No wifi problems here...

Rom with good wifi reception?

Using virtuous affinity at the moment and not liking the wifi speed at all (2 signals at a distance of 6 meters?)
I remember using one of the MIUI rom or sense rom which gave really good wifi connection, don't know what's the issue but my sister's I9001 is picking wifi at great distance and not mine + the speed is really slow...
DO you guys have a rom in mind which i can flash for better wifi connection?
EDIT: also some suggestions about runny vs bliss would be very appreciatd since i'm not a big sense user..

You can try RCMix3D, I'm always having 4 bars when near my router and a little less when moving away.

Maybe there is something wrong with the WiFi antenna.
The antenna is located in the cover of the battery.
Take out the cover and clean the metal contacts.
Put it back and see if it made a difference.
It's the 1st thing you should try.
If this doesn't help, check for a radio that matches your model, see also if a matching RIL is needed.

This most probably is a radio issue...flash the correct radio based on your current RIL..

Also think it's a radio problem. Flash the correct one and RILs and averything will be ok.
And for example, if you flash something like Virtuous Quattro or IceColdSandwitch, you may get low bars on the indicator, but it doesn't mean the signal is bad.

I'm running ARHD 6.3.2 with 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M Radio at the moment.I always have 3 to 4 bars wifi connection even when im in the room next to my office.
The Rom runs smooth and stable without having any problems at all.

Been using rcmix3d for the last couple of months and wifi reception has always been strong

Dont be fooled by the WIFI indicator bars, As i understand it AOSP based ROMs use a different algorithim to display the strength which results in an apparent lowering of the signal strength as long as it connects and works i play little or no attemtion to the bars.

Yes I would say it's a radio issue, unless it's posted as a bug in the ROM by other users. check the forums for the rom, otherwise, flash new radio WITH CORRESPONDING RIL!!

I agree with @ghostofcain, if your wifi is working fine, don't bother too much about the numbers of bars.

I had my best wifi experience with the AndroidRevolution HD 7.0.0 Rom.
maybe you really should bother about your Radio..
using the 12.28b.60.140eP_26.02.03.15_M3 myself.

best way to see the signal strength is this:
*#*#4636#*#*
and then wifi information -> wifi status
there you've got the signal strength in dB wich is a bit more comparable than "i've got only two bars".

good tip using this test-number;
is the RSSI value the wifi signal strength ?

Yes. RSSI stands for Received Signal Strength Indication. Wikipedia has an article about it if you want more information.

Any way to boost wifi tx Power on ICS rom's?

Ok, not sure if my phone is faulty or if the mt4g's wifi tx power is too low as default, or if it's the rom or what. But, does anyone know if our wifi chips support tx power scaling at all, and how exactly to boost the power successfully? Not sure if this method changes between GB or ICS, but if anyone knows, please help a guy out? I've tried editing the iwconfig and twlan.ini to no avail. Am I missing something?

No the wifi on this phone just sucks.

So you know for a fact you can't adjust tx power, or are you just blindly saying it sucks like I am?

I would never take it for a fact but after what over 2 years with this phone I have never seen a way to boost it. Some sense ROMs feel like they have better wifi at the cost of battery life. But after two months of testing in my basement apartment I was never able to find a consistent setting/ROM that worked best. I have read a few post that say the very original stock ROM had the best wifi as well as working 5ghz but HTC messed that up with the gingerbread update.

That's pretty much what I'm learning as we speak. Oh well, its new phone time soon anyway.

Speaking totally anecdotally: I am finding that with most ICS/JB ROMs I've used (about six so far) the reported signal falls off a lot more drastically than with stock, Unity, and other GB ROMs--the difference (in my home) between being able to listen to music down a hallway and around a corner or not. This *seems* to indicate that it could be improved with configuration in the kernel or ROM to boost the allowed power. Some ROMs experience more instability in connection quality if you have custom firmware on your router or have early versions of the wi-fi calling fixes patched in, too.
