9860 Wifi and Voice Problem

Hi
Yesterday I bought a Blackberry Curve 9860 to replace a 8900. I upgraded to 7.1, but I found two "details":
1. About WiFi networks in my home: I have a network N that was set on channel 13. Blackberry can not connect to it, only when I changed to channel 1 might be connected, is a common problem? My previous Curve had no trouble connecting on channel 13. This happened with the original OS 7.0 and the upgrade to 7.1.
2. When I call other person I hear perfect, but the other person hears me well until I move a little, for example, I have spoke next to the microphone and the other person listen really well, but I move 3 inches and don't hear anything or far...
I think it may be a noise cancellation feature/setting or to avoid echoes in BB, no a hardware problem, is this feature may be canceled or reduce?, because it is annoying to talk and other person says that don't hear anything if a move a little...
Thank you very much

On my 9860 (also in the OS7.1 range), I have no trouble connecting to my WAP on Channel 11 (the clearest channel in my neighborhood). While I've not tried Channel 13 specifically, I know I can connect to other than Channel 1. So, some further description beyond "can not connect to it" might help us guess better for you. For instance, did you completely remove the WiFi configuration on the BB, recreating it from scratch each time you shifted channels on the WAP? If not, then that would be advised...along with perhaps a Batt-pull reboot at certain points (e.g., remove Wifi config, Batt Pull, configure WiFi on BB).

Unless you are in speakerphone mode, this might well be normal. The microphone is designed to filter out ambient noise, and moving away from it would start to blend your voice into the ambient noises, which could be subject to then being filtered out.
Good luck!

  • 4S connectivity to WiFi, and touch problems since IOS 8

    I have an iPhone 4S. Since I downloaded IOS 8 and updates, I have been experiencing intermittent loss of connectivity to WiFi and a few instances of the screen freezing up on me. I've already had Apple support, where they helped me empty phone and reinstall the software, then subsequently all apps and items back onto phone. It worked for 2 days and then started with the same issues again. I then uninstalled the one app I had installed since iOS 8, hoping that was the problem. It was not.
    I was told there is no going back to an older system. I have never had any problems with this phone until the new IOS 8 was added. Is there anyone else who has similar problems?

    If you search this forum and the "Using iPhone" forum, you will find hundreds of posts about it.

  • Yoga 10 wifi and GPS problem

    Hi Community,
    I bough a few days ago a YOGA-10 tablet (system data below).
    I'm facing two problems :
    a) My wireless is very poor. I'm often out of wifi coverage and everyone around, with other devices, work fine.
    b) I need the Yoga-10 to test GPS based apps.
    However GPS is failing too often.
    I also use MobiWIA GPS Status & Toolbox app and, in a 50km's trip with my Yoga in the front seat, I get 0 satelites fixed (although 10-11 visible) on 80% of the time (all other devices get 100% coverage).
    Any suggestion ?
    Btw, as far as I understand, Yoga-1 does not support Glonass satellites, right ?
    Thank you in advance
    Solved!

    Hi. I have YOGA 8 tablet(B6000) and I really love this tablet. but its GPS doesnt work
    I installed "gps status and toolbox" from Play Store but the problem still exists

  • Apple TV 2, Home Sharing, WiFi and Ethernet Problem

    Equipment:
    - Three 2nd Generation Apple TVs
    - AirPort Extreme
    - MacMini running current version of iTunes
    Problem/Situation:
    I have a Mac Mini set up as a dedicated media server running the current version of iTunes via Home Sharing. I have three 2nd Generation Apple TVs in the house streaming media from this server. All three Apple TVs are up to date. The network router for the system is an AirPort Extreme. All software updates have been performed, and this is a long term problem (has existed for some time, did not just appear.)
    Two of the Apple TVs connect flawlessly, but one of them is "quirky"
    I have recently moved and as a result the configuration has changed a bit, the problem existed both before and after the move, and the two configurations may shed some light on the problem. In the old configuration the whole house had hardline ethernet available throughout the house, all connected to the AirPort Extreme. All of the Apple TVs worked fine except for the "quirky" one, which refused to connect to home sharing via an ethernet connection, but worked fine via a wifi connection (the other two Apple TVs worked via ethernet.) My solution was simple - unplug the ethernet cable and connect via WiFi.
    However, in my new household there is currently no ethernet run, so all connections are via WiFi. As before the same two working Apple TVs connect just fine, but now the "quirky" Apple TV cannot connect to Home Sharing. I have reset the Apple TV to factory defaults, to no effect.
    I have not yet run a test ethernet line to the Apple TV, but I theorize that it would work. My working theory is that the quirky Apple TV cannot be on the same type of network as either the server (since the problem exists even if the other Apple TVs are in sleep mode.)
    So far I have not found any articles that are on point to this problem, and I don't think this is a known problem. I would love to find a solution to this problem that does not mean that I have to run a ethernet line through the house. Hopefully someone will have some insight to this issue.
    Thanks,
      Ken

    **** UPDATE ****
    So this morning I decided to test my theory.
    I connected the "quirky" Apple TV to the Airport Extreme via an Ethernet cable running down the hallway. The device was able to get an IP address, reach the outside world, but no joy on connecting to  Home Sharing  being served from a computer connected via wifi to the same router. (Hmm, theory fail - strike one.)
    Next I decided to run this cable to a ethernet switch connected to the serving computer (with a self generated IP). This time the Apple TV could not see the outside world (as expected), but could still not see the Home Sharing network either. (Hmm, theory epic fail - strike two).
    Considering my testing now complete, I disconnected the ethernet cable and allowed the Apple TV to once again connect to the WiFi network (the configuration I started the day with.) This time not only did the Apple TV connect to the outside world, but it found the Home Sharing network, and all worked well. (Swings, and connects to a long fly ball to deep center - stay tuned to see if it is a home run or something else.)
    While the system is now working as I would like - I can not say that my confidence is high at this point because I did not really change anything - I simply stirred the pot.
    Very bizzare!

  • Ipod Touch-Wifi and Registry problems

    I just got my Ipod touch a few days ago, and every time I try to go on the internet, I select my network, enter the password, and it says "unable to connect." Also, whenever I hook up my ipod to itunes, it asks me to register the ipod, even though I've done it already.
    Are these problems related? Any advice on how to fix either?
    Thanks!

    I have a similar problem; in XP my iPod Touch SAYS unable to connect but it actually does in Bootcamp XP, however in OSX it will not. Odd thing is, I think my friend's iPod Touch did connect to my MBP in OSX. Oh, I use the MBP to share a wireless internet signal using the Sprint EX720 Expresscard, so sorry if my story seemed confusing. I will get together with my friend later this evening to check this out and determine if there is a defect in my iPod, if hers works. Otherwise at other Wifi hotspots I usually get on without problems.

  • Nokia 5630 - wifi and connection problems + some s...

    Hi guys,
      I'm experiencing strange behavior in my Nokia 5630. When i got it i added 3 wifi points without a problem to "Internet destinations". But recently, whenever i try to add an wifi access point, it puts it into the "Uncategorised destinations". And i cannot move it to other folder (i select move, and choose Internet, but it throws me out to main menu). Because of this i cannot use new wifi on applications which check the "Internet destinations" for available wifis.
    And few unrelated questions:
     - has anyone had experience with NCP VPN client for symbian?
     - is there a application like SmartConnect for this phone? I think SmartConnect is only for N and E series?
    Thank you

    It is known problem with VPN Access Point on S60 5th phones.
    You may contact NCP VPN developers and see if they may offer some solution.
    Alternatively you may have a look at another VPN client for S60 3rd/5th. It is not IPsec VPN like NCP, this is PPTP VPN Client - SymVPN for S60 3rd and 5th Edition phones.
    This software is also placing created VPN Access Point into "Uncategorized Destinations", but  you can move this Access Point to any needed Destination and therefore you can use it with another software on your phone .

  • IOS 8 WiFi and Keyboard problems

    Sorry for my english, I'm from Russia. After updating my iPhone 5 started very fast discharge (the same thing I found on the iPad Air). Just Wifi was much weaker ,signal catches very very bad.More.. side of the keyboard do not work correctly, they fly on and off and have to re-set in the settings.Do not update to iOS 8!

    It's broken since the first beta of iOS 8.
    Apple needed 1 year to fix a missing icons, so don't be impatient for the wifi sync. It will require at least 2 years. But you know, the whole sync part is partially broken for 5 years. So really, don't be impatient.
    You can also make it public on Twitter, I heard some dev contact people having trouble. It make more pressure than on these forum, so try it.

  • Wifi and safari problem

    http://fantasy.premierleague.com/
    Site loads on my iphone when on 3g but wont fully load on my wifi.
    Site loads fully on laptop on my wifi.
    When I say not fully, I mean I get some links on the left but the rest of the page is greyed out if I hold down a link and "open in new page" I get popup "safari cannot open page becasue the server cannot be found" Switch back to 3g, reload and its fine.
    Ive found other sites as well, try www.lslforum.com I get the front page, but if I try to connect to any of links, safari does nothing, always works fine on 3g, always works fine on laptop on wifi.
    Thoughts?

    troubleshoot the network before a restore. does the same thing happen on your cell network and not on wifi?

    1) my first issue started with imessage. My messages were not being sent or received and every time I attempt to sign in using my apple account it says my password is incorrect - which it isn't!!
    2) second issue arose when trying to sort out the imessage issue. I thought I would try to backup and restore my iphonenvia my laptops iTunes library. However, my iPhone wont backup due to an unknown issue
    3) third and final issue is after resetting my iPhone setting to try and rectify the imessage issue I can no longer connect to my homes wifi network. My pad and partners iPhone 4 is working fine. I keep getting "incorrect password" when again, it's correct!!  I have a bt home hub 3.
    I would also add that this is my 2nd iPhone 5 as my first one had a major hardware failure and was immediately replaced. HELP

    Also, i cannot backup as I get an error message saying "unable to backup due to an unknown error".
    If your iPhone do not accept your password, so how can that be correct?
    Delete your backup and try again.

  • MSI Global GS60 2PE Ghost Pro Wifi and Sound problems

    Hello!
    I have just recently bought a new GS60 Ghost Pro and I must say I am a bit disappointed. I have two issues that I'd like to resolve as soon as possible.
    First and foremost, the WiFi. The Intel 7260 WiFi card simply isn't working properly. I have to stay within 5 meters of my router to get decent speeds. When I go to another room, the connection speed drops to roughly 20 times less than it was. This does not even happen even on my 6 year old Dell. (!) I have tried installing the latest drivers and I am 100% positive it's not a router issue. How can I fix this?
    EDIT: I forgot to mention that WiFi even drops out during online games. Can't really think of anything more frustrating on a freaking GAMING laptop!
    Secondly, I have noticed that only the bottom side speakers are working on my machine. This means sound quality is horrible. I have checked "sound devices" and there I have the possibility to either make default the top side speakers or the bottom ones. How can I make them both work at the same time?
    Should I take my machine back to the seller?
    Really hoping you can help

    For the wifi, try to do the settings from the FAQ link.
    1. http://www.msi.com/faq/nb-1178.html
    2. http://www.msi.com/faq/nb-1084.html
    If issue still remains, then send it to the service center.
    As for the speakers issue, tell us your OS version and the audio driver version you're having now.

  • Yoga 13 WiFi and bluetooth issue resolved

    Unfortunately, I also met WiFi problems, but also found unexpected and sad solution.
    Wifi worked pretty well at working place, but had problems at home. As an experiment I brought WiFi router from the working place home. It did not work!
    At home I used pretty old keyboard and mouse plugged into passive USB hub. As soon as they were disconnected, problems disappeared. WiFi was also stable after I plugged power supply into the USB hub.
    We are making 24-bit analog-to-digital converter that connects to the PC via USB. I exactly know its current consumption (300 to 330 mA) and know that it correctly handles USB rules about power regulations. Maximum current, specified by USB2.0 standard, is 500mA, so consumption of our ADC is within limits. As soon as I plug this ADC in, WiFi connection immediately disappears at the working place.
    In the case of other devices, such as USB flash drive, power consumption may depend on the activity, increasing as it writes or reads something, and decreasing at the moment of inactivity.
    I'm pretty sure that Lenovo placed their WiFi/bluetooth module on the same USB hub with right-side USB2 connector. Any device, that requires energy, being plugged into USB2.0 port, immediately destroys WiFi (and presumably bluetooth) and it is rather hard to get it back alive without special dancing around.
    So, conclusion: never plug anything into USB2.0 port, if you need WiFi. This decreases number of available USB ports from two to one. Lenovo team should be blamed for that, not driver manufacturers or board manufacturers - Lenovo did non do its construction job well.
    I am not sure, that all WiFi and bluetooth problems of Yoga discussed at this forum have the same reason. But in any case incorrect implementation of USB2.0 power should be considered before any other reason of malfunction.
    Car manufacturers recall their products in the case of a failure. What about computer manufacturers?

    Citation from Wikipedia:
    The USB 1.x and 2.0 specifications provide a 5 V supply on a single wire to power connected USB devices. The specification provides for no more than 5.25 V and no less than 4.75 V (5 V ± 5%) between the positive and negative bus power lines. For USB 3.0, the voltage supplied by low-powered hub ports is 4.45–5.25 V.[61]
    A unit load is defined as 100 mA in USB 2.0, and 150 mA in USB 3.0. A device may draw a maximum of 5 unit loads (500 mA) from a port in USB 2.0; 6 (900 mA) in USB 3.0. There are two types of devices: low-power and high-power. A low-power device draws at most 1 unit load, with minimum operating voltage of 4.4 V in USB 2.0, and 4 V in USB 3.0. A high-power device draws, at most, the maximum number of unit loads the standard permits. Every device functions initially as low-power — but may request high-power, and get it if available on the providing bus.[62]
    Obviously, WiFi adapter is a high-power device. If it does not have sufficient power, it will start power saving program by reducing speed. Even lower power may interrupt ins basic functions. When I connect another high-power device (HDD or ADC) to the same hub, it should get its 500mA from the hub. Seems that starting at this moment  WiFi receives much less current than it requires and stops working. 
    If something is plugged into USB3 port, and this something does not utilize all energy it requested, WiFi starts working again.
    I would greatly appreciate if somebody repeats my tests using Yoga or Yoga 2 Pro.
    Test:
    Reboot your system, all USB devices disconnected
    Open http://www.speedtest.net site and measure Download connection speed (Speed1)
    Connect external HDD to USB2 (NOT USB3!) port
    Wait until HDD is connected
    Test Download speed once again (Speed2)
    Report results to this blog as Speed1/Speed2 couple of numbers
    Thank you in advance

  • HT6154 iOS 7 and iPhone 4S - I lost my WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities last September with the new OS, and I THOUGHT it was actually fixed this morning with the latest release - my WiFi AND Bluetooth actually worked....for about 5 minutes, but no longer

    I thought this latest OS release had fixed my WiFi and Bluetooth problem, but I was excited for only a minute!  I actually was able to connect to my WiFi at home and paired my Bluetooth to my car - but after a few minutes, the Bluetooth automatically turned off and the WiFi no longer worked.  Is there a FIX to this???  I know it's the OS that disabled them and I'm not paying $500 for a new phone when my upgrade is not availbe for another six months!!!!

    My iPhone 4S did once again did  lose it's wifi connection after running perfectly for about 8 weeks.
    I was streaming Pandora Radio via bluetooth connection at the time, ( not sure if that has anything to do with why the wifi dropped out again, but I thought I'd mention it anyway)
    But!.... I was able to get everything up and running perfectly again by simply grabing my girlfriend's hair dyer heated it up again for about 5 - 7 minutes ( the over heated message even appeared this time) then powered it off, warped it in a plastic bag, stuck it back in the freezer for 15 minutes, took it out of the freezer, powered it back on, and Abracadabra it works perfectly again!!!
    Phone has been running perfectly AGAIN for about a week now.
    One strange thing this time after fixing it for a second time is that the the little WiFi symbol no longer shows at the top of the screen, but the wifi connection and everything IS RUNNING PERFECTLY!
    If all I've got to do once in a while, is spend about 20 minutes with a hairdryer and a freezer to keep my iPhone 4S running perfectly.....well I'm as happy as a pig in s*** :-)
    And please no comments about how I have now voided my apple support etc. I never had any to begin with  (it's a 2nd hand phone and  I really  couldn't care less about warranty issues etc etc etc..... The phone works, and that's all that matters to me!

  • HT4528 My wife had a problem with her iPhone 5C with no voice on th Maps app.  I visited my local Apple store and they said the problem was in iCloud.  We did a new install and it works great now.  Now my iPhone 5 has the same problem.

    My wife had a problem with her iPhone 5C with no voice on the Maps app.  I visited my local Apple store and they said the problem was in iCloud.  We did a new install and it works great now.  Now 4 days later my iPhone 5 that is tied to the same iCloud has the same problem with the Maps app.  I really don't want to go through a new set-up with my iPhone 5.  What's going on with iCloud?

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!
