Request: control power output? #39

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.95

Please provide any additional information below.
Would be great if the output power could be set, this may save battery
power and would allow users to limit the broadcasting of their data. I use
wifitether with the phone attached via usb cable to keep it charged so it's
never far away and as such do not need the full power output of my phone.
OpenWRT (and the likes) have similar functionality. Am no SW engineer so no
idea how to code or enable it.

Thanks for a great app!

I had the same idea also.  I'm not a software engineer but ive got a pretty 
extensive
background in linux and a little about programming. I'll see what i can 
do...since no
one has replied to you yet and it has been 7 days.

Controlling the transmit-power hardly depends on the wifi-chip which is 
buil-in. The 
app (version 2.0-pre8) already supports that for the NexusOne.

I 2nd this. My battery will DRAIN even when it is PLUGGED IN! Plus the phone 
gets really really hot. It's not even transmitting much data (< 1MB) and this 
will happen.

I would like this option to not only limit range, but to increase it as well. I 
have the new Razr Maxx, and the range on this phone sucks. My wife likes to use 
her old Incredible using my wifi while shes laying in bed but I cant have the 
phone near me by the computer because she wont get enough signal.
