What does it say in device manager (in windows)? Maybe the driver is wrong...
[Nexus S General] rikardo1979:
do u have a right drivers installed

have a look here and check Google USB Driver

:cool:
[Nexus S General] solarus2011:
I'm having the same problem. I have tried both my computers and multiple cables but I continue to get the error. When I try to update the drivers or reinstall them Windows says the drivers are up to date. I've tried every USB port on both computers as well.

I even took the phone into a repair place to see if perhaps the USB port on the phone was malfunctioning and they couldn't find anything wrong with it.
[Nexus S General] pnnorth:
Try installing pdanet, I had a similar issue when I rooted my ns and installing the pdanet drivers solved the problem.
[Nexus S General] jrocka01:
I've been having the problem also and none of the fixes worked. Not even PDA net. You'd think that the more people have this problem so one would have found a real fix by now.
[Nexus S General] solarus2011:
I can't get the PDAnet drivers to install - during the installation process, my phone has to plugged in, which of course the installation program can't see.

Weird thing is if I remove the battery and then plug the usb in and start the phone, the drivers show up in the device manager but they always disappear before I can unlock the phone - appears the USB connection on my Nexus S is broken...can;t think of anything else.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] worly:
Hey guys,

ever since I used CM7 on my Galaxy it puts the WIFI in sleep mode as soon as i turn the screen off. I've set the sleep policy to never but yet it slows the datarate down first and then some seconds later it is stuck at 0 kb/s. That's very annoying especially if you download some bigger files. Is that a known bug on CM7 or is it just me?

I have the opposite for MIUI rom.

The MIUI rom by default set the WIFI in sleep mode as soon as the screen is turned off. However, from the battery history, the WIFI never go to sleep. Is this a problem with MIUI rom or there are other setting required?

[HTC EVO 3D] jyan_osu:
I'm one to watch all the videos in landscape with the capacitive touch keys on the right side. Throughout the day I've been watching videos on youtube and found some to be really good but some to be eye straining..

I have a 3D vision setup at home so I do a lot of 3D gaming and I'm not bothered by 3D. Also, things are a lot easier when it's just depth and things aren't coming out at you.. your eyes aren't strained with just depth. Still people are different but this is what I've found and what I've found with others.

Anyways, it seems that depending on the video, the 3D effect is non-nauseating if you have it in the right orientation. I.E. sometimes the EVO 3D needs to be rotated with the soft keys on the left or right in landscape for it to work correctly.

For example, this Street Fighter IV video works a ton better with the soft keys on the left, with the soft keys on the right it's horrible. You can see the difference when they are fighting side by side, not when they are doing their intro or their super moves as that stuff has things coming off the screen that strain the eyes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qftUs9ppnbA

Now take this trailer of Alice in Wonderland.. The backgrounds cause my eye to strain when I have the EVO 3D oriented with the capacitive keys on the left, but it's perfect when they are on the right

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdGQJm_w1vA

It just seems the left and right image is flipped on some videos with no way to correct it, thus you are forced to hold it one way or the other in landscape

I don't see an option to flip left and right like I do on the YouTube browser app so maybe an update will come out so I can keep the orientation just in one way if they ever decide to put that in.

(I use Chrome to Phone to easily send 3D videos from YouTube to my EVO 3D and have it auto open in the YouTube app)
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianBaker:
You are right..but what does it all mean?

Sent from that EVO3D Thingy...I need an asprin.
[HTC EVO 3D] jyan_osu:
It means for some videos and for those having bad images, a flip of the phone can make it a lot nicer and easier to see.
[HTC EVO 3D] ktrotter11:
Nice tip

Bussin Caps from my 3D shooter
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianBaker:
i understand and appreciate the tip..But why is it like this?
[HTC EVO 3D] jyan_osu:
Some videos have their left and right images reversed. Could be the way the video was rendered. That's why on the YouTube web app, there's a button to flip the left and right images so that the correct image can be seen by the correct eye. The NVIDIA 3D player has this option also. The mobile YouTube app does not currently.

I think the parallax barrier, which makes it so one eye sees one image and the other eye sees the other, for videos that have the images flip, confuse the brain as the wrong images are going to the specific eye.. Flipping the phone reverses the parallax barrier thus correcting the image to the correct eye for videos that are reversed.

Take the pic below

If the two images are reversed, the eyes are getting the wrong image. Flip the phone, and you'll be getting the correct image for the right eye.

Hey all!

After doing about an hour's worth of research in total, I noticed that there is a general lack of information on the topic of wi-fi reception range of various smartphones.

I for one would consider such information useful, as it could be used to compare performance of the various devices out there. So I figured I'd start this thread to collect some data and experiences.

If you are interested in participating, then please test how far you can move away from your wireless router while still maintaining a reasonably stable connection(i.e. you can browse the web without constant timeouts).

Overall, please try to include the following information if possible:

- Brand and model of your device

- Approximate distance from your wireless router

- How many walls/ceilings/big objects are between you and your router(try as few as possible for the most accurate result)

To start it off, here are my results:

Device: Samsung Galaxy S2

Range: ~50ft(15 meters), 20-30% signal strength average

Obstructions: A desk and 1 wall.
[General Topics] frosty_ice:
Just some points to consider:

WiFi routers differ in terms of transmission power, thus rendering the results useless without any information about the router.

Other radiating sources might cause interference which will negatively affect the signal

A "reasonably stable connection" is a very subjective opinion. The dBm value would be better.
[General Topics] SimpleFear:
Yeah, scientifically speaking this is sort of a wasted affair. Curiosity sake though, why not.

This is probably a better test of router transmission than anything, fun nonetheless :).

HTC Incredible S, HD revolution 1.0.1 rom (yeah thats right, I haven't updated)

~50 feet. Through 1 floor, 3 walls, 1 door.

Or at work: ~30 feet through one wall.

I can say though, with a sad face, that the iPhone's get better wi-fi reception at work.
[General Topics] garanixx:
Hmm, I suppose you are actually right! For some reason I forgot to consider that the wireless router itself also plays a big role, seeing as they tend to be quite different from each other. I guess I assumed the routers would just about always have bigger range than the phones, but I suppose this isn't always true, is it?

That does make it rather difficult to get accurate and reliable results.. A shame :(
[General Topics] rayfin:
My Incredible gets decent reception throughout my house. One end to the other the signal is a bit low. Outside sitting about 100 feet from the router inside I get decent reception.
[General Topics] vnvman:
That would be nice, but frankly i think it's impossible to make a decent comparison, there are too many different reuters...

Device:Samsung i5700 Spica

Range:~50ft (15 meters) 40% signal

Obstructions: Nothing
[General Topics] nathanwonnacott:
It seems to me like the phone would be more important than the router (assuming that the router has a longer transmitting range than the phone) because in order to establish a TCP connection you would not only need to be able to receive signals from the router, but also send signals back to it. So it would really be your phone's Transmition rate that matters. This of course is not true if different routers are better at receiving week signals than others.
[General Topics] Hebekiah:
Love this topic, truly wonder why wifi range isn't among standard specs of phones. Tried and tried to find information on it but not yet.

I was dad so got all the hand me down phones . At one time I had all these phones and tried them, wi-fi range being important because I spent a lot of time out in the shop.

2012 Samsung Exhilarate i577 #2 on wi-fi range.

2013 HTC One M7 #3 (lovely phone, they only let me have it for couple of months, but wasn't impressed with range.

2014 Moto G XT1045 #1 and still the champ. cracked screen and little storage, can't believe it's a 2014 phone it was beat on so much by daughter. But still use it as a wi-fi stereo w/ bluetooth speaker.

2016 LG K10 #4 Sucks. In most ways. It seems like it's fast but not. had to get with US Cellular, they basically gave it to me for $20

So yeah, still want to know why it isn't in the specs of a phone? pretty darn important.

Guys my first-ever post in any forum!

I am too lazy to post any thing but this thread made me take this step. I have two devices right now. Results :

Xiaomi 4A (80 USD)

Range from router (100+ feet) if not less. I crosses the road and still getting reception. (Using youtube)

Blackberry priv (Flagship) NEW

30 feet and wifi disappears

I am testing this Xiaomi 4a since months and difference is too higher than any brands stop dude i.e. iPhone 6s, priv and note8. Sorry if I missed some format but please end my curiosity by telling how the hell can a midrange phone out perform giants with such huge difference? In Xiaomi 4a I receive signal where no other phone ever got even single bar.

Will appreciate.

Use wifi sparingly. Avoid taking kids to wifi schools and limit time in shopping centres and shops wherever possible. Way too many access points. Run a 24-hour wifi router at home at your own risk.

That said, too many variables for meaningful range results, though I have yet to see any product worse than the Teclast x80 Pro I briefly owned. I am still shocked that the wifi could pass basic testing, let alone be foist on the masses.

Listing the range specification wouldn't be THAT useful though -- manufacturers would be listing the range from results in a test lab under the best-case scenario, which would be mega-inflated beyond meaning in the real world and wouldn't help anyone. For range maybe they realize that there are too many variables to even get away with doing that *shrugs*

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikegy2002:
Like Straight Talk (which I am using), 02 uses ATT network, so if you have decent ATT coverage you will get decent service at ATT 3g or H speeds if it is enabled on your phone.

[Desire Accessories] pyko:
Hi all,

A friend recently gave me a Lowepro Tasca 30 (http://products.lowepro.com/product/Tasca-30,2108,25.htm) basically a pouch that claims to hold small gadgets - cameras, HDDs, phones etc.

Was playing around with it and it fits the HTC Desire quite nicely... a tad large, but good enough to protect the phone etc. :)

However, the way the pouch "closes" is there are two magnets near the top to keep the pouch closed - they feel fairly strong (keeps the pouch closed well)

I was wondering is it ok for the HTC Desire to pass the magnet each time I take it in and out? I've realised i can attempt to keep the pouch open, but often the magnets 'snap' together right at the end when I pull the phone out.

Thanks!
[Desire Accessories] kuobob:
the magnets shouldn't effect the desire.

anyway, if the case can hold HDDs, then the magnets shouldn't be harmful at all.
[Desire Accessories] pyko:
yeah that was what i was thinking.

but was under the impression that gadgets + magnets are not a good combination. (in particular HDDs)

or does the magnet have to be super super strong to be bad for the device?
[Desire Accessories] eric_son:
I have an official HTC leather side holster for my Desire. It uses two magnets to hold the flap shut to secure the phone. I've been using it since January this year. No problems encountered.
[Desire Accessories] insomniateam:
I remember a discussion back in my Iphone Classic days, where they said, that the magnets does have an impact to the internal flash memory.

Don't know if this is right.
[Desire Accessories] eric_son:
I used to have an Xperia X1.

I remember people over the forums complaining about holsters with magnets causing the X1 to think that the keyboard has been slid open even if it wasn't. I kept my X1 in a holster with a magnet too..but never experienced the said issue. Maybe it has something to do with the strength of the magnet(s) used.
[Desire Accessories] ValmarWeln:
My pouch also has magnets, have had it for as long as I had the phone (1 year) and never had problems. :)
[Desire Accessories] Salty Wagyu:
Not had any issues using a pouch with a magnet that holds the pull-out strap in place. I believe it's just HDDs that are a bad combination with magnets, and the Desire doesn't have one.
[Desire Accessories] Smii:
The only ill effect I encountered from using a case with a magnetic clasp was that the compass always pointed towards the clasp itself.

Also it's a bit of a myth that magnets can damage hard drives - a principal component inside a hard drive is a large powerful magnet! It'd have to be insanely strong to cause problems.
[Desire Accessories] erklat:
I use the oem pouch which has a magnet too, so I think no harm can be done from it.
[Desire Accessories] Dr.Thrilla:
I had one for almost 3 years with a Sony K800i.

The pouch died earlier than the phone itself.:p So in my opinion it really can´t do any harm.
