A1 Wifi Bug - Fix or No Fix?

Before you asked - Yes, I have read all the old threads about the wifi issue in A1 and in fact, browsing this part of the Lenovo forum since I got my 16GB A1 in early Feb. Silly me foir not doing enough research and instead convince myself to believe blindly to the Lenovo brand name, but that's my fault anyway.
From the official Lenovo Chinese forum for A1, I already learn that the buggy wifi driver isn't anything new, but in fact can be traced back to the original 2GB version of A1 sold in China since Aug~Oct last year. That's at least 6 months of no solution and if I may, really bad customer support. What to do with an android tablet with a wifi issue so bad that it will crash the whole system for up to 20 times a day? (No kidding, that actually happened when I was trying to figure out how to upgrade the OS). My hope of a simple internet tablet that I can check email and browse website with is crashed as well, with the feeling of getting robbed of $250 no less.Worst of, Lenovo is actually launching new tablets while my A1 has been left for dust collecting duty for weeks because it can't do what it was supposed to be capable of.
My questions to Levono are: Will we ever see a fix for the buggy wifi driver? Is there any effort current being dedicated to fixing this issue? Would someone care to answer, or should I give up on Lenova all together and just feel lucky that I didn't pick up the S100 wihch I almost bought together with A1? Anyone?
I am not even angry any more, just sad.

You didn't vote because you have no problem; you don't know about the Wifi issue because you don't have any. But just because you didn't notice as many reports as me doesn't mean there ain't that many. After all, why should someone care or notice a problem when it doesn't affect him/her at all? It is just simple logic. It is, and I assumed, the same logic that drives gmarkall to try to find a solution for the Wifi drive - because it affects him as well, and that's why he care, and that's why I care.
I notice hundreds or report because I was actively looking / reading / searching about it for the last two months trying to find a solution for myself. If you have had spent that much time like me, I am sure you can find over 16 people that suffer the same problem. Also, I don't mean just official forums. I find quite a few postings about the same issue from popular Chinese forums like imp3.com to small unofficial Lenovo forums.
You want 1 link and I have given you 4, do you want me to dig up handreds of links as well to prove my point? Or if it is even remotely possible that someone from Lenovo does come to this thread and post something useful, like acknowledging the issue or even denying it? I really don't care what it will be. At least I'll get an straight answer that way to decide whether I should keep my A1 and wish for a better tomorrow, send it back and hope I won't get a defected unit back or just toss it out and call it a day. I have waited blindly for 2 months, and frankly I am tired of it..

  • Verizon iPhone 5 Update Fixes Cellular Use on WiFi Bug

    If you have been seeing higher cellular data usage while you are on WiFi, good news, Verizon has fixed this bug.  All you need to do is update your Carrier Settings to 13.1 and the bug is fixed.
    For directions on how to update your Carrier Settings, see:
    Verizon iPhone 5 Update Fixes Cellular Data Use on WiFi Bug - EVDOinfo.com
    Be interesting to see if this fixes the issues for all those having the problem

    I have the exact same problem!
    I'm using the iPhone 5 now under Carrier M1 Singapore 13.0 and I have noted that over a period of 2 weeks, my cellular data usage has been about 2.7GB on an average. Since I know my bill has been capped at 3GB, I have since switched off my cellular data.
    However, when I switched it on for a few days after using it for awhile, my cellular usage jumped by 1.2GB in just 1 day! And I used it as I would on an average day (like during an average day in the 2 weeks)!
    I understand that there have been reports of a bug that have caused this problem in the US.
    http://www.technobuffalo.com/companies/apple/iphone/verizon-iphone-5-cellular-fi x/
    http://www.iphonehacks.com/2012/10/iphone-5-cellular-data-usage-over-wifi-bug-on -other-carriers.html
    But I'm hoping that there's a solution for those living in Singapore? Do I seek the help from my carrier as well? But if it's a problem with the phone, then my carrier definitely would not help, right?

  • Is it really worth to update to 2.2 or wait till the bugs(if any) are fixed???

    There are many of us here, still a bit confused after reading many threads, to install the new Froyo update, when available.
    Is it really worth this update to 2.2 or wait a few weeks for the bugs(if any) are fixed???

    Ranked in order of annoyance:
    1. Takes longer to charge I would say almost double
    2. Battery life is worse with use, standby seems to be the same. WiFi radio definitely uses way more than it used to. I used to leave it on and always leave it off unless needed.
    3. Scrolling on flash sites very slow.
    4. We already had flash "lite", flash 10.1 does not seem to be any better at all.
    5. Crammed more bloat ware onto the device.
    Pros: (no order)
    Device is faster just a tad, but not enough to justify the loss of battery
    Flash light app is good
    HD recording seems about the same as my other 720 so its just nice to have it
    App to SD is not really a benefit with Incredible because we have so much app RAM on the device anyway
    Auto update from Market
    Chrome to phone is great!
    Wireless N is good but really no benefit due to battery use
    New voice search/integration
    That's my 2 cents

    I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
    Thanks so much!

    FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
    -Close FCP
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
    -Empty your trash
    Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
    Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
    EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.

  • Why is my IPod Touch ? generation saying "no WiFi" and how do i fix it?

    I have an iphod touch, it does not have a camera but im unsure of the version. I have not used this ipod in several years but i need it for a back up. Anyways, it did not show the signal bars or anything, when i went into settings, there is not an airplane mode it simply just says "WiFi" and next to that option it said "No WiFi" it did not allow me to access for more details, it simply just said No WiFi. How can i fix this? i have done the normal things, make sure my WiFi is usable on other devices, such as the lap top i am using wirelessly right now. Also my mothers phone is capable of connecting to the WiFi.
    I have also restored the ipod completely, and reset it and i have also applied the 4.2 update (which is the latest for this version)
    Please help? it is my only source of portable technology and i need it for school, any information would be very helpful, but i have already done the basics, which are listed above. Please let me know!

  • Question about a bug which should be fixed in the 10.2.0.4 patchset

    Hi,
    We have a 10.2.0.4 single instance database on Sun Solaris SPARC (64-bit) and have the same symptoms as described in Bug 4643723 (error codes and the stack trace are the same). That bug should be already fixed in 10.2.0.4 patchset.
    Does anyone have experience on how to proceed in such cases - I mean, is making a SR on metalink an obvious action?
    Is it possible that the patchset wasn't applied correctly although "opatch lsinventory" outputs that the "10g Release 2 Patchset 3 (10.2.0.4)" is installed and SYS.REGISTRY$HISTORY also contains a record of the upgrade. The upgrade from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.4 was performed 6 months ago and the database was continuously up and runing till then.
    Thanks for any answers

    many bugs can have the same errors. Raise an SR.
    Oracle Support will ask for an opatch lsinventory, and may ask you verify library versions, or relink.

  • Story does not correctly export fdx file with scene numbers? Bug needs to be fixed.

    Story does not correctly export fdx file with scene numbers? Bug needs to be fixed.

    Okay, Even if i remove the scene numbers from Story and export the file to Final Draft 8. The format in incorrect. The "transitions" ex. CUT TO:  are not in the correct allignment. Also there are numbers on each of the dialogues
    Pretty much alot of the formatting is not the same. Spaces  that break dialouge and action which are there in Story, are not converted over to Final Draft.
    Please fix this as soon as possible.
    thanks,

  • HT4528 I have a verizon iphone 5c and I took out the SIM card just being curious and put it back in, now I can only use my phone on wifi and I can't use 4G or LTE strictly wifi. How can I fix this?

    I have a verizon iphone 5c and I took out the SIM card just being curious and put it back in, now I can only use my phone on wifi and I can't use 4G or LTE strictly wifi. How can I fix this?

    Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? If that doesn't work, try resetting the network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
    If that fails, you may possibly have damaged the SIM. Verizon will need to give you a new one.
    Best of luck.

    You explicity claimed that "all 400 stations are missing" in Apple Maps. I only needed to locate one to prove you wrong. Instead, I proved you doubly wrong. I didn't realize I needed to prove you triply-wrong. Oh well...
    Naming subway stops is not Apple's responsibility and obviously not London's strenths. The pin shows the general location of "hammersmith".
    Okay I am in Holloway road, where is the nearest station to me?, if I don't know the name I cant find the station.  I know there are 6 but Apple does not show any of them
    When I enter "holloway road london", I get a bunch of pins and the first one that automatically gets selected is the subway station. Since that is one of "any of them", you have been proved wrong 4 times over.
    Etre have you ever been out and used walking maps? I think you need specsavers
    Do you actually own an iPhone? Are you aware it has GPS? Have you really ever actually tried it? Because when I manually nagivate to one end of Holloway road and search for "underground", I get this:
    Strangely, if I go to the other end of the street and do the same thing, I get an entirely different station:
    I wonder what would happen if I did a similar search for "underground" while zoomed in on the "hammersmith" pin?
    Well what do you know? But how would I ever get there? Hmmm, you mentioned "walking maps". Maybe I should try walking directions from "hammersmith" to one of the underground stations.
    By my count, I have proved your anti-Apple Maps misinformation to be wrong 6 times over. Wanna try for a lucky seven?

    when i use imessage on my ipnone 4 it comes up as my email on my wifes iphone. how do i fix this to where it shows up as my phone number?

    Had the same problem and trying to remember how I fixed it. Let's see...
    Try this:
    1) Settings > Messages > Receive At > Use your Apple ID for iMessage > make sure you are logged out from Apple / iTunes.
    2) under "You can be reached for messages at:" > make sure only your phone number shows and no email address.
    Hope that works, if not I just can't remember what else I did. However I got it working so that my tel number now shows to iMessage recipients instead of my email address.
