I'm also having this problem, just about every other device i have connects when I'm outside my home and the v3 struggles when I'm in another room from the router sometimes.

Hopefully a fix in the next rom sorts it out if it even can be.

Hi,
Have the same problem. My LG optimus 4x has a much better wifi connection. Hope also this can be fixed....

Actually i do not see any difference in WiFi reception between my old umi x1s and the V3. I think the v3 is slightly better. Maybe the umi was that bad though...

Probably because both are chinese phones

Keep in mind I usually have my Wi-Fi options on phone set to make Wi-Fi performance, so its on all the time.

Due to the v3 battery issues, its likely you've set:

Keep wifi on during sleep - never
Wi-Fi optimisation - on

The 2nd one I've noticed if ticked saves battery power, but makes the Wi-Fi weaker on my phone.

Sure!

But as i explained i do not see any issue with WiFi. I live in an apartment building my flat is on the 3. floor and when i go home i got my wifi's signal on the ground floor. It could be better but for me that is fine...

Those who have wifi problem it may be caused by faulty wifi antenna...

Oh damn I posted a reply on a duplicate thread but here it is again.

I sort of have the same issue with my Inew but then I realised that I was wrong. The small icon which shows signal strength of wifi in the app drawer is a bit stupid, It sometimes jumps from low signal to high signal even if you're 2feet away from the router. I don't know why it happens and I don't know if it can be fixed with a software update, its such a small problem its not even worth fixing if you ask me. How I found out that the wifi icon was wrong? I opened up the wifi setting found in settings (lol) and looked at the strength of my signal, it showed my signal strength was full but the wifi icon in the app drawer showed that my signal strength was halfway (middle), I slowly started to move away from router until I had no signal, the signal strength displayed in wifi settings showed the correct strength but the wifi icon in the app drawer kept jumping up and down. I tested download/browsing speeds as I moved away so I had a fairly good idea of how good the strength was and I concluded that the wifi icon found in the app drawer was bonkers! so basically to see the true signal strength you'll have to open up the wifi settings.

let me know what you find.
