Hi
Does anyone know a way please to allow only 3 or 4G connections on this or any other USB modem? We are using them on a pep link router fitted on a yacht and want the connections to drop when we lose 3 or 4G range.
Problem now is they drop to 2G as we lose range and the router still sees alive connection and wont fail over over to VSAT satellite internet we also have and want to use only when there is no 3G.
is there something we can modify in the firmware?
any help greatly appreciated.

can anybody help with this, I have an XDA MINI & my mate has an XDA II. He can connect & maintain a wifi signal while at work but I can only locate the wifi point not connect unless sitting as close as possible to sorce is there something I can do as all works fine at home.
This is maybe a dumb question but would it be possible to somehow enable 3G on this HTC?
I notice the 3G icon when I get connected online but the download speed is still based on GPRS and really slow to browse the internet as you might have noticed.
Any thoughts on this matter?
My download is based on GPRS too and it's very slow, but sometimes it connect in Edge! And is more faster! I appreciate is somebody know how to connect with 3G
Ps: sorry for my bad english!
The Pharos does not have the necessary hardware for 3G networks. You are and always will be stuck with Edge on this phone. Unless someone finds and manage to activate a possible WLAN chip.
i have trouble to connect to wifi. have problem connecting to wifi where other phones, NB dont its just showing low signal... can someone hlp?? thx in advance
How many "bars" do you get when sitting right next to (3 feet/1 meter) a wireless router?
its full but when i go further like next room it drops to one bar and disconnects. thats my wifi at home and when i want to connect to someones wifi i have one bar where he has full ... would it work if i go to winodows mobile 7 or i checked forums and there is a way to enable 802,11n and it should fix the range of the wifi

looks like ur having the same problem as he is. check this thread and read thru post #5 to last.

+ check if you can get any BLUETOOTH connection (pairing)
if it fails...definately a loose cable issue as i mentioned in that thread.
BT is working perfect even in range where wifi makes problems so i dont think the cable is the problem. if im in one meter distance wifi get full bars but when i check the signal longer it drops to half and back to full. so when the signal is half or less it drops below range and the connection failes. can you tell me whats the max distance of the wifi in HTC HD2??? have the phone in warranty so will try that but dont think they accept this so trying to solve it my self...
depends on the router
is it possible to buy better wifi chip to my phone?
my router is D-link dsl 2641R
I live very close to a hotel which has multiple SSID's that keep interfering with my ability to stay connected to my router.
I've tried hard coding a static ip on the phone, adding the mac address to router, even went as far as creating a separate unhidden network just for the phone. So far, nothing has worked.
So i was thinking that maybe there's a way to have the phone ignore certain signals, lock on to a preferred one or use WiFi but turn off the scanning feature. The only problem is that I haven't been able to find any settings or Apps that will allow me to do it.
So, if anyone has any ideas or suggestions as how, or if, I can make this work, I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm using a Droid 2 Rooted with 2.3.3 and have a Netgear N750 router.
BTW - none of the computers in the house are having this issue.

So, are you saying the phone constantly tries to leave your home wifi in favor of attempting to connect to the hotel's?
Yes, unless I'm within about 5 feet of my router, the hotel's signal makes the phone keep dropping and reconnecting over and over again.

Are the hotel's hotspots not WEP secured? That is so odd. If they're unsecured hotspots go over to the hotel and tell them to get their sh*t in order. Otherwise I'm out of ideas, sorry.
No, they are secure. WPA2 as is mine. I don't connect to them. My phone just detects them, drops my connection and tries to connect to them. So that leaves me with no connection and having to use 3G.
But there may be an easier solution to this. After spending a few hours on the Netgear site, it turns out that there is a bug in their firmware that causes signal strength fluctuations. They said a new release should be available in a few weeks.
In the meantime I've changed the channel on the router to auto select which seems to be helping.
I do appreciate you taking the time to assist.
Thanks!

Glad there's at least some kind of work around, wish I was of more assistance.
Having a similar problem with a samsung galaxy sii - current internet configuration is through AT&T U-Verse with built in Wireless G router in there Gateway. tried adding a Netgear dual band N router to my network and with the netgear's 2 wifi signals on then my phone just constantly goes into scanning mode and keeps trying to connect between the 3 - things work fine with the wifi turned off in the new netgear kind of defeating the purpose of me installing it - was hoping to have the phone use one of the N signals..
Block bt openzone connection pleaseee!
Desperately need an app for this? Is it not going to be possible for a way to block certain wifi signals because I'm actually going to rip next doors BT openzone router out of the wall and get a hammer to it! My HTC desire hd is insistent on connecting to its poor signal over our excellent one and the worst part is that you can't actually access the network unless you pay BT for a user account! Grrrr.... Please help
Try to connect the network you dont want, then go to wifi management in settings. Long press on the network you dont want and hit forget network. Then your phone shouldnt automatically connect to it unless you tell it to.
Recently after july patch<<<(i dont know but i assume) my hotspot tethering range of my phone is greatly reduced..i tried all ways to check.
connected with phones laptops everything..
my phone hotspot tether output range is supersmall to the point i need to keep my phone side by side with my laptop to get the signal which still gets 1 bar
what can be the issue and is the wifi/hotspot module same thing?
is my hardware broken?
what can be the issue? reply asap

Try resetting the network options in settings/system
If it does not work
Try uninstaing and reinstalling the WiFi driver in windows from Device Manager.

resetted network settings and windows drivers just fine...my phone hotspot is weak lately getting 200 kbps max transfer speed on xender phone to phone so its definitely phone issue
so is this a probable hardware issue?

Could be, I don't know.
Hey there !
Let me tell you I use my 6.1 Plus with hotspot for my laptop and it's on July update. So far I didn't faced any signal problem but yeah you have to keep the phone nearby for sure.
The phone supports 2.4 & 5Ghz hotspot bands. I can't use 5 because my laptop doesn't supports the same but in 2.4Ghz it's fine for me as long I get proper range and internet speed with LTE connection.

Yes this is to be expected because 5GHz is faster but low-range. 2.4GHz is slower but offers better range.
