trasnfered a file from my pc running vista onto my sony tablet s on stock ics
it took ages
almost 20 min for a 10 mb file
is it that slow normally
is there any way of speeding it up
thanks

From the Sony Tablet Help Guide:
"If both the Bluetooth function and the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi function of your tablet device are enabled, interference may occur and cause
slower data transfer speeds or other problems."
Try turning off the tablet's Wi-Fi to see if that will increase the Bluetooth file transfer speed.
It's probably not usually that slow, but Bluetooth file transfers are an inherently slow process. BT is made for ease of use, decent range and easy interoperability with other devices such as headsets, so it's not really made for fast OTA binary transfers.
As Cat mentioned, try turning off the WiFi to reduce interference and make sure there are no microwaves operating in the area. They mess with practically anything wireless.

Got my S2 and loving it but having a problem with its wifi performance.
It is running slowly ie on a n network speed test gives between 0.1 and 1 MBs down upload seems fine tried different channels etc. Killed all others apps in task manager disabled background snyc, but no difference
Then tried a different wifi access point on my network with similar results so it seems to be the phone. In comparison my wifes phone is consistently around 5 times faster download speed. sucks not to be able to use my new toy properly Any ideas before it goes back?
Thanks

is your router capable of sending G and N signal at the same time? u may have to change either a setting on ya phone to just pick up G or a router setting, this wont be your phone, i work for an isp, see this all the time 1 pc or laptop is N router is N and 2nd pc is G or even B and this causes problems
Thanks for the reply changed the router to n only and the phone is the only device connected still painfully slow. Then tried b/g and the speed test is much faster. Looks like the galaxy dosn;t play nice with the n router I have (home hub 3 from bt)

Some routers with n were released with support for the draft spec. It's possible your router only supports a version of the draft n spec and thus isn't fully compatible with the SGS2 which would be full n spec compatible. Your router may have a firmware update that would give it full n spec. It would be worth a quick check.

Great information! Thank you.
It is a new router only a month old so pretty sure its not draft n. Thanks for the suggestion though

Does anyone know if the SII's N wifi works on the 5GHz band? My wifi network with my PC is solely on 5GHz as get fewer disconnections and constant speed through my fibre connection then with 2.4GHz.
Thanks
According to this it supports Dual Band:

which was based on this

I'm thinking the wifi performance could be poor just like the wifi performance on the Samsung Nexus S phones is. The Nexus S wifi is pretty poor. Does your signal strength show it being full or weak? On the Nexus S you could be 2 feet away from the router and it would still show weak reception.

Thanks mate, exactly what I was hoping. I'll post a review of the performance using my 100MB fibre connection as soon as I get the phone and let everyone know how it degrades around my house.
Just bought the TF201 and I'm absolutely in love, after reading some of the horror stories, I was cautiously optimistic to take the plunge, but I have a C1 model with ZERO lightbleed, great Wi-Fi, GPS is faster than on my Nexus S indoors, and my bluetooth headphones work great without touching the wifi.
That being said, I have a couple of questions:
1. Since Twitter and Facebook apps don't run all that smoothly, (I'm attributing this to their lack of optimization for tablets) I went into the developer options to check off the option for "force GPU rendering" which really helped, it's buttery smooth now, but the warning said that it could slow down my tablet, yadda, yadda, will this option pose any kind of problem? It hasn't thus far on my Nexus S which is running the latest version of Cyber-GRMOD but I don't know if it makes a difference what with this being a tablet.
2. Am I the only one who gets RIDICULOUSLY slow transfer speeds on this thing? I mean accepting defeat that I can't sync all my songs (about 15 gb) from iTunes onto the tablet, I synced about 300 songs through WMP which took about an hour, whereas it takes about ten minutes to transfer that many onto my phone.
Sorry if this doesn't fall into the rules or regulations, but I figured if it's q&a and 98% of these forums are filled with Wifi and gps Issues, I'd turn here to ask.
Glad you got an issue free prime.
1. Force GPU Rendering shouldn't pose any problem for newer apps, but some old apps may randomly crash and not work as expected. If you don't see any issues with the apps you are using, than it should be ok to keep it turned on. You will experience a faster battery drain and higher memory usage though.
Also note that, all newer apps and games use GPU rendering by default regardless of this setting, so once developers release the newer versions of their app you wont need to set this option in the settings. This will be desirable, as turning it off will give you longer battery and less memory usage.
2. The USB connection is quite fast, if you are having slower connections try setting the ASUS PC Sync off (Settings > Account & Sync). Also make sure you are using a USB 2.0 port in your computer and dont have any antivirus or other software scanning the Prime.

Nope. It's generally considered to be the fault of MTP.
You can try Samba Fileserving and transfer files over Wifi. That might be faster. Another solution, which I haven't tried yet, might be Android Commander.
I've been using Swiftp on my prime with filezilla on my laptop. Seems to be more reliable and faster. I have a mac and Android file transfer kinda sucks.

Hello, two days ago I bought this great little thing that is X96 Mini 2GB 16GB
I had everything ready and installed but there was this one little yet huge problem which was the slow internet speed
I have 4 Mbps internet but I always got at best results 1.2 Mbps on X96 Mini
on all other devices I got the full 4Mbps so I after a LOOOONG and boring search though the internet I came up with the solution (finally)
I use D-Link 2740U 300Mbps*
.
keep in mind the things that I tried and DID NOT work for me:
1) I updated the firmware to the latest stock version (OTA) which is 20180512.
2) I flashed a custom ROM which is atvXperience by*NayamAmarshe, (if you don't know about it yet then go check it out, it made everything better and faster (EVERYTHING) and I thank him for his great work) but unfortunately it didn't solve my main problem.
3) I heard that changing the encryption type on my wifi router settings from Mixed (TKIP+AES) to AES only would solve the issue, tried that.. it was temporarily solved (30 mins) then it was back just like before.
one of the things that helped me find the solution was this, when I send something through the router to the device the speed did not pass 1.4 Mbps.. when I send something DIRECTLY the speed was normal (20 Mbps or even more)
so the key thing is in the router settings, nothing is wrong on the devices side
I started playing with the router settings till I finally finally GOT TO THE POINT
THE SOLUTION IS:
you need to change the WiFI Band from 2.4 Ghz (B+G+N) TO 2.4 Ghz (B) OR 2.4 Ghz (B+G)
after changing this setting I was able to get my full router speed at all times no matter how far the device is from the router (6 meters is the distance that I am dealing with)
the problem is that the N stands for newer bands which is okay and supported in most devices but not totally on X96 mini, so when the router detects that a device is using an older band, it kinda sets the priority to the newer devices (that's what I understood from a small article explaining the difference among these bands)
anyways I am very happy to see my X96 Mini buffering 1080p YouTube videos without a glitch (yes atvXperienve gives you 1080p YouTube playback) and I wanted to share my Xperience with you
have a good day.. *Bye

This can be done by modding the /system/etc/wifi confirguration files
My poison rom for example has additional modifications thus why the big speed increase.
Functions like checksum offloading, timeouts etc are all optimized

Could you share the modified files for x905w chips? We can just swap them with the original ones and we are good to go..
BTW thanks for the info
I'm super keen to know some tips on modding the wifi config file as I have the same problem. I had to run another wifi network via my router (which I had turned off) instead of using my ubiquiti AP as I cannot change the band settings on the AP. 2 networks at home is not my ideal setup.
Ricky Divjakovski can you provide an insight at all??
Thanks
My router won't allow me to do just B/G. The x96 has been slower that ever. Can we actually mod the wifi config file to help?
HI everyone! I have two X96 mini tv boxes with different stocks.
One of them opens this program without any problem. Link for program is here:
https://cloud.mail.ru/stock/7uRgfhaTfR9ebxC4Nj58cd9X
Another tv box doesn't open this program. Opens then closes in a few seconds. Can u help me please. what is the prolem?
I need this program!
Thank you for your attention!
I have also changed router setting as mentioned above but my wifi is still very slow
When i connect through mobile hotspot it runs fine and when i connect x96 mini with wifi router it works slow
Kindly help how to resolve the issue
Hello,
So I recently made a first time purchase of android box H96 Max X2.
All is fine, however I noticed the wifi speed is really slow. The speed test shows I'm getting 4 mbps instead of the normal 35 mbps I'm getting from other devices.
I'm pretty sure its due to the weak wifi antennae in the box. My question is, can I plug in a USB Wifi adapter? Will it be compatible with the box?
Many Thanks,
I tried 2 USB WiFi dongles ,EDUP & Mediatec .
BOX doesn't see them
Hi, I have 2 brand new Nokia 7.2 and an old (my previous phone) Nokia 5.1 Plus, and I have a problem that it's freaking me out. The issue is very simple, I almost cannot navigate while using a WiFi connection in my main Nokia 7.2, I have to use the mobile data connection so I can watch a video without any lag or resolution issue but that is not ideal.
So, I perform some test and I find out that my 7.2 does have like 50% of speed from WiFi (both in 5GHz and 2.4GHz) compared to the 5.1, and I'm not talking about external speed test, but in LAN (between my phone connected by WiFi, and my computer connected by gigabit ethernet) using iperf3.
After testing I got this results:
(Result's format: '-Band: AVG Speed (Min Speed -> Max Speed)')
Nokia 5.1 Plus:
-5GHz: 241Mbps AVG (214Mbps -> 252Mbps)
-2.4GHz: 41Mbps AVG (31.5Mbps -> 53.1Mbps)
Nokia 7.2 (both):
-5GHz: 116Mbps AVG (85.9Mbps -> 140Mbps)
-2.4Ghz*: 24.3Mbps AVG (18.5Mbps -> 29.2Mbps)
* I did perform like 3 tests in this case, and those numbers are from the best result. The worst result was like 15.6Mbps AVG
And that is not all. The setup is all the same. Same wireless router (I have 2, and I always check that both phone are connected to the best one), same phone position (like 0.5 meters away from the router, even less), the computer (server) is not doing anything that could use the network card or the CPU, and of course testing one phone first then the other one, and then doing the same but swiping the order. Also both phones (5.1 Plus and my main 7.2) show that have the same link speed (433Mbps) and both phones have Android 9 (Android 10 is not here yet).
The only difference between the 5.1 and the 7.2 is that the 5.1 has 802.11a while the 7.2 doesn't, but the issue about that is that standard is for 5GHz (and it's just for 54Mbps), so I don't think that this is the issue, because that should mean that the 2.4GHz's speed should be the same.
Also, is not like a hardware malfunction beacuse, as I said before, I did the same test with both 7.2 that I have and both have exactly the same issue.
I want to know if anyone has (or had) the same issue. I think that this could be a mis-setting or another battery saver package included in the OS limitating the speed just like when 5.1 had a battery saver that limitates the Background processes
Hi. I didn't experience as much as you did but I can confirm the phone is pretty slow on WiFi. My friend's Samsung J7 loads videos easily while mine gets stuck on buffering for eternity. I looked for this problem on Nokia Forums but I couldn't find anyone experiencing it beside me. I did read somewhere that forgetting your network and adding it again might solve it. I know, it doesn't make any sense and I might be delusional but I think the speed is a bit better now!
Anyway, I still believe there's a problem regarding WiFi speed on this phone. Perhaps it's a software thing just like you said. Anyone else who can provide an explanation of some kind?
Hello to everyone. I've been using the S10 Lite for about one month (I received it Oct. 16) and since them I noticed something weird with my Wifi speed. I have a 200Mbps connection and 5GHz wifi, never had issue with internet speed on PC or my other phone (Redmi Note 6 Pro), but I noticed that my S10 Lite is slowing down my internet if I start downloading many apps or games, large files or downloadable contents in games, like PUBG maps, and the phone gets hot. The speed varies between 6-20Mbps, which I think is unacceptable for a phone with high-end hardware. Another weird stuff is that when I turn on the phone's router (don't need to connect any device to it, just turn on) the speed increases up to 50Mbps, but also drops under 30Mbps. I contacted Samsung through Samsung Members and they said it's normal, every phone will slow down when it heats, but I never had issues with my previous phone. I'm afraid that I'd need to get rid of Samsung official firmware to unlock my phone's full potential, because I don't want to. I noticed this phone has some agressive thermal throttling for the GPU and CPU, I think the issue with Wifi speed might be a software limitation too, but it's too anoying. Does anyone noticed something with their phones or know somehow to fix this? Thanks.
