Hi,
I run my app on Archos 43 with firmware version 2.3.81. This app uses Wifi, after sleep it takes about 6 seconds to reconnect to the AP, is it possible to reduce this time? I already set static IP adresses and tried to use WifiManager.reconnect() after wakeup in my application. Keeping Wifi alive in sleep mode is not a possible solution for this issue.
Thanks for any ideas.
Best Regards
Robert
I haven't had much luck reducing the time it takes to connect. In fact it tends to vary based on what access point I'm connecting to. At work it takes a few seconds like you described, but at home I can connect in less than 2 seconds.
Thanks for your experience, I also tried different access points but it always takes about 6 sec to connect, which access point do you use at home?
Best Regards
Robert

Hi.
Got the Qtek 8500 Smartphone and Erofichs great Windows Mobile 6.1 on it.
Can anyone please tell me, how to configure the GPRS right?
The following thing happens:
If I open the Internet Explorer, surf, close it, GPRS remains ON.
Have to shut the connection manuelly down.
The worst thing, I want to automaticly download my emails every 30 min.
It works fine, but the GPRS connection remains still ON after the download endet. I dont want to shut it down every 30 min manually.
Is there any option to solve that?
Would be great if someone knows.
Thank you very much.

Thats normal behavior. GPRS is normally charged on traffic. So being online doesn't mean to transfer anything.
Bye
Yeah, but think about the battery
Dont want to charge every day.

Sure but doesn't matter for me
I can't understand why there is no explicit "gprs connect" or "gprs diconnect button" by defaullt on Windows Mobile (Wm6 standard, at least).
(If gprs connection is the case)
Do you know why?
There are many situations where it is very important to handle with care internet connections
Was it so difficult to have similar behavior to PC connections?

Hey cassetto,
While I don't think there is an option to explicit connect (besides just going onto the internet which starts the connection), there IS an option to disconnect.
It was on my Windows Mobile 5 phone, so I have no doubt it's in WinMo6.
You just have to go into your Comm Manager and disconnect it from there manually. I did it all the time with WinMo5 and I'm still doing it all the time with WinMo6.1

(Excuse me for my English)
Thank you!
Anyway...
I don't consider it an EXPLICIT gprs disconnection button and I can't understand Operating System logic.
Since I cannot put that button ON there (button is normally disabled while, for example, active sync or bluetooth buttons are not), I did not try to put it OFF there.
Moreover, that button has no name. Only when enabled and ON, it is named "data connection". In settings/connections, more than ten connections are listed. SMS Service, USB to PC, VPN and so on. Somebody could consider many of them "data connection".
Somebody could wonder which connection or how many connections are currently responsible of that button enabling.
Which one would I disable pressing "data connection" button in comm Manager? All? Only one? SMS Service?
If more than one data connection can activate that button (in the same time), I can't know what that button does. Maybe It disable button but I don't know how many data connections are disconnected (only gprs?)
If at one given moment the only thing that a button can do is "gprs disconnection" and moreover it is enabled by gprs connection (and only by gprs connection), it should be named "gprs disconnection"
If more than one data connection can activate it, but not more than one at the same time, it should be named according to the data connection name.
Too complicated?

Thats the point! You have to do it every singel time manually or it stays connected. As mentioned, I receive my mails every 30 min. So ill stick with the "allways on" situation or disconnect it manually every 30 min (which makes no sense at all)
why doesn't it disconnect if idle?
It seems such an obvious thing to do - if there's been no GPRS traffic for X minutes, drop the connection.
Has anyone got a way of implementing this?

Unless your plan charges you for GPRS connect time I can't imagine why you'd need to turn it off, I've never found having it on to be a problem or a major drain on the battery. I've had the 8500 about 18 months, use tmobile and have their data plan. Rather than turn it off why not just configure your applications for manual download? Just curious, what do you see that most of us don't?

How can I change from 60 secs to 5 minutes?
Can you please explain the conversion method, from 60 seconds to "CacheTime"=dword:0000003c
Thanks

"3C" is Hex for 60. You might try to substitute it with "05".
Does not work
Above registry hacks do not work on WM 6.1 (Xperia). When the device is in suspend mode, and it checks e-mail every 30 minutes, it doesn't disconnect.
Hi there,
i'm very noob to pdas in general, i have this herm100 that my friend sold me when i needed to get internet access (i combined my budget for phone and internet in one).
Well, after a while of hard work, i was able to get data working on my Linux PC (EeePC 701). The connection was closing automatically when not in use, this behavior is useful when not used as modem (to keep battery).
I created a script that "connects" my pc to the phone (it setups the interface's ip, etc...), when connected, it then pings the phone (10.0.0.1) and pings my host on the internet by IP (this tests that i have access to the internet). It makes other tests too to make sure dns is working and that my webserver on that host is still working too...
I make the pings to the host by ip every 15 seconds (or less when it fails). With this and minimal internet usage, the connection will drop on the phone 2 to 5 times a day.
When i say that the connection drops, i mean that ping to the phone works, but ping to the internet fails, times out. Most the time, the internet sharing prog on wm6 says it's still connected. Many times, if i try to access the web from the phone it will fail (wait forever, rarely will also freeze). So when the internet is dropped, one time out of 4 i have to reset the device (i found that shutting down for a while gives even better results).
I just recently got a super promo for my data package with my isp and my limit got increased a lot... I tried downloading torrents. Downloading torrents will cause the phone to drop connection _at_least_ every 5 minutes!!! The device is also pretty hot (like i wouldnt like to have that heat in my jeans pocket but doesnt hurt when touching). I have setup my torrent application to limit download and upload speed so that overall no more than 15 KB/sec is used and this increases stability a lot, but it will still fail within 10-20 minutes.
I wonder if the hardware could be responsible, but i'm clearly sure that the OS is the one most responsible (it fails to detect the network is down and fails to at least try to bring it back). Maybe an os upgrade or hard reset would help. But if i have to go that far i might just try to install linux on it instead (openmoko probably,unless you suggest anything else?)
I was wondering if you guys could help stabilize my connection a bit?
Thanks!

Hi all,
I am currently using [ROM][KANG]CM9 ICS 10.1 WiFi Preview 02/12/12. My wifi connectivity is fine when using games, or widgets, or apps like pulse or netflix. However, when using the browser, it frequently disconnects after a couple minutes of use, and takes quite some time to reconnect again. Does anyone else have this problem, or a fix? Thank you!
The reason is due to DHCP.
You probably have a Belkin router I guess. Normally this issue happens only because the tablet tends to refresh the automated IP Address given to it. I won't get into techy details and end up giving you a brain hemorrhage, rather the best solution would be
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.statIc&hl=en
Download that, Launch it, Add to configure, Press Menu, Generate, Done.
Voila. Disconnect no more.
Long story short, Instead of messing up your router with trying to assign Static IP this will hold the current IP address/reserve it so that you don't drop
I have had my Sony Tablet S for about 9 months and as I think everyone knows the wifi disconnects randomly. I've found my biggest problem when using Wifi with bluetooth. The network would lose data and then disconnect every 5-20 minutes (sometimes in less than a minute). Thanks to Condi and those involved in the recent break through, I was able to root my r5a. Once I installed Samba Network Fileshare, it seems to have stopped being an issue (at least, no issues within my normal use 30 min - 1 hr at a time). I've used every app designed to fix and force wifi connections I could find with NO success. I have to say I've been close to chucking the tablet as hard as I can against the closest wall, but since root and the Samba install, I've had a much more pleasant experience.
I'm sure there's a question in there somewhere, but for now, I thought I'd share my experience.
The closest thing to a question in this thread would be "What is Samba Network Fileshare doing to fix the network issue that other wifi connection apps would be doing?"
is it the same samba as used in ubuntu to share file from windows pc?
Its probably the same software technology. Its how I use it. but it is by funkyFRESH
Wifi fix Sony Table S (root & install Samba Network Fileshare)
Thanks, I have rooted my Sony Tablet S and installed the "Samba Network Fileshare" app and the wifi speed and stability had a huge improvement.

I have a different question regarding bluetooth. I have an htc sensation and when I try to send files from my phone to my tablet. The process always fails. None of my files get transferred

Hello I wanted to ask I did root my tablet s and i installed samba, I wanted to ask if you have installed and left all the default settings in the app or do you have to suggest?
How did you set the application?
My Internet speed is roughly 50 down and 5 up. I use a Netgear modem/router (this was the router that worked correctly with all of my demands). I have an iMac that will get the full 50 download speed via wifi. My iPad gets around 30 (not the full 50 but satisfactory)... but my Note 3 is around 1Mbps. Maybe sometimes it'll spike up in speed for a few moments... But it's so inconsistent. I tried using different channels on the router.... No improvement. (the upload speed is fine though. It'll usually be the full 5mbps)
Any ideas on what's going on? Any settings on the router I can try to help improve this? (stock note 3).
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Digital Trends has an article that has some tips on this issue:
Glitch: Wi-Fi issues
Some Note 3 owners are having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi networks, finding that the Wi-Fi is very slow, or that the device keeps dropping the connection. There are a ton of potential reasons for this and consequently there are a ton of potential fixes. Here’s what you can try:
Workaround:
Some people with stability issues have been able to get solid Wi-Fi connections simply by making sure that mobile data is switched off. Just drag down the notification shade and toggle Mobile data off.
Potential solutions:
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and tap Menu > Advanced and then uncheck Auto network switch. That seems to have helped some people.
Try turning off the Note 3 and your router for a few minutes and then turn them both back on again.
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and long press on the problem connection, then tell the device to forget it and set the connection up again from scratch.
Try out the free Wi-fi Analyzer app and see if crowded channels could be the issue. If so then change the channel on your router.
Make sure that your router firmware is up to date and check settings like MAC filtering.
If you’re having stability issues then you might try disabling the apps Wi-Fi Direct and Wi-Fi Direct Share via Settings > Applications manager on the All tab.

You might also try a different modem, which are you using? (NAB, NC5 or even MJ4)

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately nothing seemed to of helped.
I do not know how to tell which type of router I have. I can tell you it took many routers to find the right one (NetGear C3700). I went through a bunch of Time Warner crap and several from Best Buy......even Motorola's flagship modem/router. It needed to do the following:
Provide open NAT type for Xbox live
Allow my Android device to recognize the Xbox One as a device on my network (pics, vids & music through the console)
Allow Android Youtube app to communicate with the Xbox One Youtube app.
Allow proper connection to my iMac via Wifi (One of Time Warner routers would not work with my iMac)
My BT and Wifi havent worked the same since the KitKat update - Thanks again

Man that sucks, I had serious issues with 4.3. since KK I've been rocks solid with WiFi,
You might try to old factory reset (which sucks I know) just backup first so if there is no change you can restore easy enough.
What ROM are you running? Stock?
Set your wireless channel away from everyone elses. There is a setting where you can just set it to just 802.11N save it. Try setting your wifi port to static for your device. Check your wifi settings on your device. Make sure your using the same channel on your device as for the router.
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I've already tried a factory reset since the KK update (for Bluetooth issues). No help.
The phone is stock.
I've tried changing around the channels a little bit with no success so far. How can I change the channel on the device? How do I set the port to static for my device?
Thanks
