Has anyone had very slow wifi speed on there tablet? Side by side my phone blows away the NT pretty much all the time.

I get this as well. Not always, but sometimes. I'm connected to a linksys n router.

I did a test 2.6GB file copy over wifi onto a NC (NT has same antenna type & placement). Sustained throughput was 11 Mbit/s, as opposed to 18-20 Mb/s I get from my notebook. [10' distance from router, 1 floor and 1 wall intervening.]
So, about 60% of "optimal" throughput, which is pretty good for the tiny PCB antenna. Hopefully, Android will allow user-installable USB drivers at some point which will allow for more powerful external wifi.
Pic below of built-in antenna is from the crappy iFixit teardown. The circle-with-dot thingie is the U.FL connector to connect the pigtail. Actual antenna is the teeny block beneath the U702 print.

Tip: Don't cover the antenna with your hand. It's at the middle of the top edge when held in landscape mode.

With the "N" to the right or the left? Most of my apps work both ways and being ambidextrous I have a poor sense of what might be considered "normal". I'm guessing "n" to the right.

Yes.

Events prior to cracking my screen:
► Happy hour at Yardhouse bar
► 7 consecutive games of beer pong
After getting out of the car following my fastfood drivethu order to smoke and a few minutes had passed, I discovered my phone along with its Body Glove backside laying facedown in the drive-thru.
Damage as follows:

Phone still functions, adb pulled the files off the internal sd. At first a small area of pixels in the bottom right had bled blueish white light, but after a little while the screen died. The 4 touch buttons and their backlights are functional.
Seeing as the price of replacement parts exceeds the contract-value of the phone, what would be the cheapest alternative to repairing the screen?
Craigslist a cheap Vibrant salvage donor?
i'd like to give it to my father's as a gift if it' not going to violate my pockets.
If ttoo much of it is broken, consider selling the parts that DO work

Sorry to hear about the phone =/
I bought a vibrant for my sis yesterday off Craigslist for 130 newish, if it helps. I think a new glass'll be like 16 off ebay and a new LCD just as much. It's a pain to do it though, I'm sure.
Does anyone know if it is possible to swap the backplate of the TF300t and put it on the TF201? My prime suffers from poor wifi and wondered if it would be possible. I saw them both at Best buy and they looked identical. I really like the prime but cant stand not being able to connect to wifi's at hotels because not in range.
likely not..it wouldn't fit right.
The other question is...where would you even find a t300 back plate?
Also the TF300 doesn't have a flash from what I remember so it would also cause a problem there.
i have a 201 and 301 sitting right in front of me. Though very similar, ports and slots are in different places just slightly. It would take a lot of work with a dremel just to get the holes to line up, let alone compatability in connecting everything.
On the prime EVERYTHING is connected to the back case, thats where everything is fastened to. Take that out and you got nothing.
Sorry but without extensive modding this just can not be done.
Just thinking for the future, I wonder if the TF700 and the 201 may be closer and maybe a better (future) option than the 301 to 201??
I know this is under the firmly under the speculation category.
I believe the Prime's Wifi pogo connectors aren't on the back side, in fact they are on the front. I read on a guide that you can press the bezel on the front camera side to improve Wifi and possibly GPS connection.

Hey Everyone,
I'm pretty new at posting on XDA, but I have been going here for ROMs, Kernels, and advice since I got my OG Evo all that time ago.
Regardless, I've searched the forum and Google for anyone experiencing this problem, and I haven't found any anecdotes or threads on it. Ever since I've got my new Evo, I've been able to attenuate the WiFi signal just by grasping the top half of the phone or by handling it like I normally would in landscape mode. I could see the WiFi symbol drop down by two or three bars a few seconds after placing my hand on the top cover.
Obviously, some signal attenuation is predictable since the cover contains all the antennas, but I did not think it would be effected as much as it is. It seems to cut down the signal by at least half in terms of data download speed. Have people been experiencing this much of an effect?

Starting from the earliest run, I did six runs alternating between holding the device at the bottom and holding it either in landscape or grasping it by the top half.
My 3G signal isn't bothered by my hand at all, probably because of the wavelength difference. I'm just curious how much other people's signals are affected. Obviously, the speeds are still decent enough that it doesn't bug me too often. I will notice that sometimes I have to restart certain downloads/refresh loading pages due to inconsistency in the signal. And I'm sure LTE won't be affected since it also has a relatively large wavelength compared to WiFi.

Known problem with the ONE series but not the EVO LTE, take it back for replacement as nobody has this issue.

I think the picture says enough:

Note that everything is on, and it's all connected, powered, and recognized by the LTE.
- 480Mbps hi-speed USB Hub
- 3TB Hitachi USB 3.0 Hard drive
- SanDisk Cruzer 32GB flash stick
- Inland Pro wireless mouse & keyboard combo dongle
- Generic USB fan (not recognized by the LTE, but it's not supposed to be -- it works fine)
- Powering everything but the cat, but the process seemed to energize him too
All of these are operating simultaneously in the picture. You can see the fan revolving, the the sandisk processing (red behind the slider), the big hard drive chugging (blue light), the hub operational, ...the keyboard and mouse worked fine but there's no way to show it in a pic, so you'll have to take it on blind faith.
What was this thing's max power output again? Surely this can't be healthy for the battery (or circuitry) in any case.
Welcome to kickstand tablet 2.0 heaven. You may check your sanity in at the door. /nerdgasm
Hmmm.... You know it took me awhile to figure it all out and that's a cool pic man. Can u try and get the whole cat next time? Idk what the rest of that crap you're talking about does.
Jk. Nice setup. I like black cats too is all.
I've run into what I think is the same problem with two different new Nexus 9 tablets, from two different sources, and I'd like to find out if this is a common defect with the Nexus 9 in general. In both cases, let them run all system upgrades to the latest version (6.0.1).
With the first tablet, I first noticed that I had problems pressing and holding (to move icons on the home screen) near the left edge (USB connection at the bottom). Tried a bit more, and found it only intermittently registered touches in about a 1cm wide vertical band 1cm in from the left side. Sent it back to Amazon, ordered a replacement from a different affiliate.
Second tablet came, I let it install updates, and got the same problem. This time I installed a touchscreen test app, used the "paint" mode (draws a pixel wherever you touch), and after sweeping my finger pretty thoroughly over the screen, saw an obvious mostly-dead bar in the problem area. See attached image.
Has anyone else run into this? Known Nexus 9 issue? Could it be a software problem, unlikely as that seems? Any help or advice would be appreciated. I want a stock Android tablet badly enough to give the Nexus 9 a third try, but not if I'm probably just going to run into this again.
