Guys this isnt working for the MIUI Rom, i can find the calibration file but it wont save my rssi offset value, keeps resetting to =0 !! And yes i have it mounted as R/W etc etc. Something im doing wrong??
i also tried the fix method with latest cm7 rc2 (by knocks ) rom , and got your problem too !!
anyone have idea ?
Check your init.rc files, could be that it is set there at startup.
Swyped because PC is under full load or to far away
Couldn't find it listed in the init.rc file, only things I could find were tcp buffer sizes :-(.

Did you check all init******.rc files or just the basic init.rc?
If not do it now
Scanned all of the init*** files - cant find anything to do with the rssi offset.
Guessing its just not possible on MIUI rom, thanks anyway.
Not that fast, a option is left, could also be related to a init.d script.
A possible solution would also be to include the wanted value yourself at init.saga.rc (i.e.) you need to add a line with write for it (don't forget to backup the file you change).

Thanks

Ok, checked the file and it's possible but a bit hard using init.rc.
Another way, download the attached file, extract it, open the extracted file and replace the PATHTOCALIBRATIONFILE with the correct path inclusive filename, afterwards copy it to your /etc/init.d folder and set the correct permissions (r-xr-xr-x or 555 or everyone execute and read), this will write at startup the fitting values to the calibration file.

Ok think i've done it, with permissions and everything, and rebooted but the calibration file still says offset=0
Has it actually worked but not correctly logged?
Thanks

I guess when you got less wifi drops^^ For the script just check the content if the file.

10I 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.
2[PATCH] framework.jar for altering WiFi RSSI values in ICS

A big thanks to gtg465x, kylon and others in the forum for explaining things in posts. It's their work mostly and not mine.
I'm writing this here just in case someone needs the info..
Since I had a problem with the reception of WiFi signal in a Desire S and I've been searching the forum for many days to find a solution to this that I got no responce I decided to search for the framework.jar file patch that has to be done with the /etc/calibration file change to the value of rssi_offset so that Desire S won't drop the connection so easily. Tried also to contact gtg465x but I guess he's busy.
This was done to ICE_DS 6.5 ROM
The patch goes as this:
(1. I am not a developer (used to code, not in android though)
2. I modified the values only by -10 dBm just for test you can change to -20 if you like
3. feel free to correct my wrongs)
gtg465x describes very nicely here what needs to be done http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25174730 but this is for GB ROM
Read carefully to edit your /etc/calibration file. In that post it's changed to -20, in my test to -10
but ICE_DS 6.5 is a ICS ROM
and the code in WiFiManager.smali is as follows
(the sections that need to be edited)
Code:.field private static final MAX_RSSI:I = [COLOR="Red"]-0x37[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]#changed to -0x41[/COLOR] .field private static final MIN_RSSI:I = [COLOR="red"]-0x64[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]#changed to -0x6e[/COLOR]

this translates to java as (the original values)
Code:public static int calculateSignalLevel(int paramInt1, int paramInt2) { if ((paramInt2 == 4) || (paramInt2 == 5)) { int i; if (paramInt1 >= -70) i = 3; for (;;) { if (paramInt2 == 5) i++; return i; if ((paramInt1 < -70) && (paramInt1 >= -80)) i = 2; else if ((paramInt1 < -80) && (paramInt1 >= -85)) i = 1; else i = 0; } } if (paramInt1 <= -100) return 0; if (paramInt1 >= -55) return paramInt2 - 1; return (int)((paramInt2 - 1) * (paramInt1 + 100) / 45.0F); }
There is also another section in WiFiManager.smali called calculateSignalLevel(III)I
but I have the believe (which I may well be wrong) that has to do something about WiMax (if (paramInt3 > 4900)) so I didn't touch that.2Ok, checked the file and it's possible but a bit hard using init.rc.
Another way, download the attached file, extract it, open the extracted file and replace the PATHTOCALIBRATIONFILE with the correct path inclusive filename, afterwards copy it to your /etc/init.d folder and set the correct permissions (r-xr-xr-x or 555 or everyone execute and read), this will write at startup the fitting values to the calibration file.
