[FIX] For wifi connection dropping too easily/often

---

I don't even have this phone, but I'm tired of hearing you guys complain about your wifi dropping . HTC programmed the Desire S to drop wifi connections if the signal falls below -88db. I'm not sure why they did that because -88db is a perfectly usable signal. With this fix, your wifi connection won't drop until the signal falls below -108db.

You need to be running a custom deodexed ROM to apply this fix.

Flash through Clockwork Recovery.

Let me know if it works for you!


If you appreciate my work, donations of any amount are very much appreciated.

Small update... noticed that I didn't set the permissions right on one of the files. May want to grab v2.

On another note, where is everyone? Dev community for this phone needs to wake up!

thanks for this.... if this works, i can enjoy my wifi in the kitchen while drinking coffee ;)

We still can't use it, for the majority of Desire S user got an S-ON units.

For those who can't apply the above fix due to "S on" (pretty much everyone?) you can try the easier way which I've posted in another thread. Some people said it doesn't help but there's no harm in trying :)

there's a stock setting that can enable Desire S to hold Wi Fi connection a lot better. Go to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi settings. Click menu button and choose Advanced. Second section from the top is "Best Wi-Fi performance" - tick it. That's it. It really made the difference for me. Dropped Wi Fi signal was a frequent thing with my Desire S but ever since I've ticked this option (~1 week ago) I haven't had such problem at all.

Just so people know, doing this does NOT have the same effect as applying my fix. That might help you a little in the mean time until you get S-OFF, but my fix should completely fix the issue.

Also, why does loveboatcaptain appear to have S-OFF and the rest of you can't?

^^^^^^^^^
He might used xtc clip to turn it from s-on to s-off
this is the only way to do this until a dev figur some
software way to do this

Yes, true, and the xtc-clip is pretty expensive too, so most of us have to wait for a software method to get s-off, and then we can root and install clockworkmod i believe.

Unless you knew someone or somewhere who can make it to S-OFF, cause the xtc clip is expensive.
