I do not know the answer. But I have question - did you tried with other phone, and it has better WIFI reception than SGS A?

Yes I have tested the WiFi reception with an Iphone, works much better, and with a laptop it's really great but that's not expected.
I have lousy reception even if I'm only in the next room of the router.

I have almost the same problem too, its like the reception is getting weaker than before

I don't think it's getting weaker just was weak from the beginning.

hmmm i don't use wi fi so don't know about its reception ! btw just curious are there any build.prop tweaks that could increase wi fi reception ?

I read somewhere that this problem was with some models of SGSA...... Try going to the Samsung service center and ask them for a solution, but my friend did the same this

Better get it replaced by qualified service personnel rather than messing it up yourself

I have noticed the same, my 9070p receives a weak signal or no signal where my laptop receives an adequate to strong signal.

There is something that can improve the perceived speed, but at the end it comes down to the raw network speed. And many times it's not the connection slow, but the sending server that is slow.

Realistically you guys are thinking I've got the results mixed, Unfortunately i can reassure you i haven't. See the attachment. :good:

We're talking about the network speed, not the phone's. My phone has already been buttery smooth even when I was on ICS.
But showing speed test results aren't gonna help you anything with this phone. Your network speed is a 'given' situation where you don't have control over it unless you're willing to pay some more money to see improvement. I'm one of the lucky dude in my country to have constant 12 mbps network speed but I don't need to boast that here as I don't think it's gonna contribute anything to other users. Unless we come up with some tweaks of this phone to improve your network speed, I've always thought this kind of thread is useless.

If you've noticed slower LTE speeds on the 1.31 ota...

Then it's the radio. I can confirm this is the case. Before I downgraded I had dropping 4g signal and the speeds were 50% less, at the same location.
Yesterday I reverted back to 1.29 and I'm experiencing no 4g drops when moving in the train and I'm getting speeds up to 20mbps now.
Solution: s-off your phone and run the 1.29 ruu. I can guarantee better results if you started experiencing data issues lately

I was having this issue tons on the old radio, since updating to the 1.31 update radio, I get much better LTE/EVDO hand-off and more consistant reception.
The new radio is much better for me as well... the old radio refused to go from 3G to 4G even with a strong 4G signal present (a few hundred feet from the tower). The new one has been much more reliable for me. I can even use 3G in areas where it was previously not usable by me, and my calls no longer drop at home.
I guess it all depends on your location. I've had horrible experiences with it.

Out of curiosity, where are you located? In my area, Ericsson is doing the NV rollout. It might be that the old radio works better in Samsung or Alcatel-Lucent areas.

How are you determining who is doing the update?
Radio images are very dependent on the area. We have only 2 to play with sadly.
Honestly, I would say reflash the radio.img from 1.31 (sorry idk the baseband number, too lazy to check phone). Did you flash all the other firmware bits as well? Perhaps you flashed a new ROM or even the stock ROM which writes to EPST. Many devs don't customize EPST settings on their stock-based ROMs and it can be simply a ##DATA# edit that could be causing issues / slowness. But if the radio reflash doesn't fix or improve anything, just flash the old radio. But again, radio depends on area for most things.

Interesting that you seem to think that it is the phone straight away, probably not, very likely to be other wifi networks in your area affecting your signal on the router. I no that the signal is not the greatest but these sort of things are likely to affect it more.

[Q]No H+ Signal gt-i8190

Ive got s3 mini gt-i8190. Months ago i lost my H+ signal for an unknown reason, i mean its just disappeared and never seen again. My cousins living with me got and H+ signal on their s3 gt-i9300 and s2. Were all in the same network provider and i dont think its a network problem anymore.
i even tried to flash a stock la'fleur rom but still no hope, few hours ago tried to flash again a new stock firmware from sammobile but the problem still exist.
any help from you all guys is very much appreciated. thanks anyway

i do have it sir until noverber last year it suddenly disappeared.. i cant provide you a screenshot but i swear to you i have H+ sign before.. im using stock rom before with baseband I8190DXAMA2 until the problem exist then tried to flash the firmware ive got from sammobile but still no hope to retain my H+ SIGNAL though my network mode is locked to WCDMA ONLY.
im wondering if flashing a stock firmware with baseband I8190DXAMA2 "thats my out of the box baseband" would help.. ive already flash cm10 then stock lafleur then the newest of all is the one i have in my attached screenshot from sammobile.

I think you should checked your "Access Point Name" you're maybe check the wrong access point,,
Ask your network provider for internet settings and they will send you a message then save it and you'll be on the correct "Access Point" :good::good:

Dont misunderstood us, we just said that in the official spec. at samsung page it says that s3mini dont have H+ capacity. Probably u just where lucky and get a "limited edition" (a mistake in the factory or something else) who knows

Phone shouldn't display H+ icon, because cannot download with such speed
I don't know what happened with your phone, but i think, you must live without this icon
If you can't, ask somebody to modify SystemUI.apk I believe H icon is there, but i can be wrong

Not a dumb question at all. 2.4 has range and better thru walls. If u have wide open space then 5.ghz is smooth and less traffic. All wireless phones started on 2.4 5 is a few years old. 5ghz range is shorter but does not like walls and going thru things.

I have it and it's definitely a GREAT wifi access point. I don't use the routing functions, it's hooked up to an 8 port switch into my ISP's given router.
I haven't had anything good to say about wifi calling, though. Both my wife's phone and my own (both N4's) consistently disconnect calls after a short period of time, i think it was like 10 seconds or something. Never looked into it, we don't need it anyways. Willing to bet it's got something to do with AT&T Uverse congestion/throttling/etc..

I have this running Merlin's latest. It can handle whatever speed you have. Keep in mind if whatever site you're trying to access or download is slow you could have all the speed in the world and it wouldn't matter. It would still be slow. The router is great.

Hey man, have you had to hard reset your router and upgrade your version of Merlin's through the recovery utility? It doesn't work through the Admin page (for me, at least). Just wondering if there's an easier method to update than what I've been doing
Btw, I'm also using this router running Merlin's (not quite latest) opensource Asus firmware. This router is definitely fantastic. My cable connection speed is 50 down / 10 up... and that's exactly what I see on every wifi speed test I run from my phone :good:
