So I understand the wifi issue gives a weak signal, but even RIGHT ON TOP of my router I can only pull 3-5 mbit/sec, whereas on my laptop I can pull 30+ mbit/sec
Is there anything I can do to make my Prime get better speeds when in range? The range isnt an issue so much as the speeds. Im trying to use WatchESPN on my home wifi and its choppy and slow =\
You know you opening up a can of worms..lmao. just kidding.

IS THIS something that just occurred recently or you always had this issue? As I never seen you post about it before the whole time you been here

I didn't really notice the speed difference until today when I tried watching WatchESPN. I know people said changing the wifi channel can help, but I ran Wifi Analyzer and my channel is wide open at home, and I tried using it at work tethered to 4G and it looked like **** too, when my laptop looks fine.
Kind of bummed =\
Just check that link out. Really good info in there that might make it play better. People who had similar issues also switched to G only band n solved speed n range issues. Check out all possible options.

My router only supports G so I doubt its that, I have an old Linksys WRT54G
Turn off your Bluetooth? *sigh*

I have the Linksys WRT54G but just replaced it with the Linksys E4200 yesterday. With the WRT54G, I was able to get 15-16mbs down no problem when standing 7-8 feet away from the router above the basement where it was located.
Once I switched to the E4200, I'm now able to get 21-25mbs down from the same location...plus, my range has increased. In the farthest corner of my house, I can still muster 6-8mbs down.
One thing I did notice while tinkering around with both routers is that the type of security used definitely impacts download speeds. I swtiched to WPA2 and noticed a 4-5mbs increase which gave me the results posted above. This was not just important for my TFP but all of the wireless devices in my home including my PC.
That said, unless you have a wonky wifi radio in the TFP, you should certainly realize faster speeds than you're seeing.

Are you using old outdated WEP security? If so, switch to newer on like wpa n speeds will increase from that change alone, like other poster said.
Just tethered to my 4g and got 10mb on my phone and 9.5mb on my prime so that's good, just don't get my home internet prob

Ergo, every device on your network gets about that speed?
Complain to your ISP if you are paying for faster/demand a refund.

Assuming, you have tried the router on G mode with a low channel (1 or 6) and it still did not improve speed above your other devices (assuming the numbers reported are not in the correct format).

Not unless normal use means you don't actually use the phone... my battery lasts 36 hours max, that's with custom ROM and kernel.

With stock ics rom and kernel I get 24 hrs max with normal usage, including about half an hour of video 720p and 15 min of gameplay, 30 min of voice calls and probably 1-2 hours of txt and emails with some web surfing. Minimal use I could probably extract 36 hrs.
Screen is almost always at minimum brightness.
Great phone though custom rom and kernel will certainly improve battery life!

Yes decent phone battery life to me is crap with heavy ish use your lucky to get a day, No chance of 2 don't believe the hype
Also Sonys customer service and ability to update and keep customers informed is pretty horrific,
But it's a very good phone I've stuck with Sony for my last 3phones because they have the best design of all mobiles imo,
Soon though i think our update issues will be solved as Google has announced we will be getting aosp like the nexus updates
So hopefully we will be among the 1st to get updates,,,,best news ever

First of all, you put your phone in the toaster, and set it to maximum heat level. After that, some people recommend 3 minutes on high in a microwave, but 5 minutes at gas mark 9 in an oven usually does the trick.
And then, after that, you use the search function that came free with this forum, I hear it's feeling lonely and being neglected quite often.

No it doesn't, if you can get two days from an XS its by leaving it on the side with everything disabled. With the new ICS update I might get 1 day, probably Not though.But I don't know of any smartphone with dual/quad core and huge hd screen that is noticably better.

Hi guys, I just noticed that I can manage to reduce up to 2 bars from my wifi reception, just by placing my 2 hands on the both sides of the phone, like this (|) . Does this happen to you, too? Should I send it for repairs? Greets
It's normal. Hands blocking signal and both GSM&WiFi can drop even 2 bars.
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app
And is it normal to have around -60 dBm, when youre 4-5 meters form the router, but in the same room?
P.S. I ask all these question, because I had to send in my phone for repairs, cause of cracks in the silver bezel, and i dont know if they didnt mess up the antenna.
I think it's normal. I'm getting -70 dBm and router is just 2m away , through the wall tho.

Well, I will send it back if i know it's really something wrong with the antenna. Thats why I'm asking the people, if its normal or not.

Any masking of the antenna will have an effect on reception, and that is pretty much what they will say at a guess......it's not like you walk around using your phone clasped in both hands like that any way, so I really don't get your issue?

Youre completely right. I just wanted to ask, if I have a problem with the antenna or everything is because of the hands So its normal to have -60 or more dBm, when I'm 4-5 meters from a router?

Oh im not an apple fanboy trust me..lol..but..i do know the ipad works great with the headset i have while skyping..worked withou a hitch. I have an acer iconia a100 and a500..neither work with the Bluetooth while skyping. I just hate wires and plan to skype from the road. The headset i use is for truckers..a blue parrott b250 and it has exellent noise reduction. I wonder if its just an acer thing..maybe asus will be better for skype and bluetooth.

Overall it works fine. But if connection is bad quality on other side is bad and you do not see it. Quality on prime stays perfect.

Oh dear Lord. Don't buy the SXZ2. The very thought of making that purchase and then dying outside the store? Is it shock or a heart attack that is the cause of the deaths?
You keep well and don't take to heart what you see on Youtube.
