Another thread about Netgear Routers....

Okay, so apparently this has been an issue since 2010 or earlier!
I have a Netgear WPN824 V3 and a Droid Razr Maxx.  The issue I've been having is that my wifi connection keeps dropping, though the phone shows my wifi connection as strong the majority of the time.  I've tried pretty much every solution I could find on the first 3 pages of a Google search and so far nothing has worked!  This includes trying almost every variation of security settings on my phone and router.  I've tried cache wipe. factory reset, and downloading various wifi "fixer" apps that just go ape sh*t constantly connecting and reconnecting.  Has anyone found any sort of solution that isn't something a relatively tech savvy individual wouldn't consider common sense, as many of the tried and failed solutions tend to be? And yes, I do know about the advanced wifi settings!
The fact that this issue has hundreds of threads of complaints with almost every android and every netgear router since before 2010 with no solution is pretty darn sad.  It really is a reflection on how both Verizon and Netgear acknowledge (or rather DON'T acknowledge) their customers by not addressing this issue.  I have yet to find a thread (maybe I missed them?) with a response from either a Netgear or Verizion representative.  Come to think of it, that goes the same as well for any other carriers, or Motorola either.
I apologize for beginning a new discussion with an old (but still current!) issue.  If the solution has already been posted and I missed it, I do apologize, but doubt that this is the case.  I haven't updated my phone with the latest update yet either since it seems the new update has caused more wifi problems.  Please let me know if this wasn't the case for you! Wouldn't that be great if the solution was that simple!? *crosses fingers*
Thanks everyone!

You've updated the phone, have you updated the router firmware? There might possibly be a newer firmware that could fix the issue?

  • Another Thread About 2.0....Updating post as my phone is updated

    At various times today I have hit Check for Updates on iTunes with no success. Just now I clicked it--got nothing. For kicks, I clicked it immediately again. Guess what! Update underway!
    So keep checking back for your update. In the meantime, I'll chronicle mine so you can know what to expect.
    Update: 5 minutes in and I have downloaded quickly (218.2 MB). Now there is a window that says, "Preparing iPhone software for restore..." Been here for a bit.
    Update: "Restoring iPhone software..."
    Update: "Verifying iPhone software..." I'm about 7 minutes into the process, including download time. Just before I updated, I'm at "Restoring iPhone firmware..."
    Update: Couple minutes spent there with the barberpole bar. Next a pop up to say "Your iPhone has been returned to factory setting and is restarting...blah blah blah". Image on phone is for me to connect to itunes. Already am. Now it is syncing and phone says "Waiting for Activation...This may take some time."
    Update: No sooner than I updated, I got another restart pop-up warning for the phone. Aaaaaand we're back. Indeed all settings have been wiped out, including my home screen icons. The apps I already downloaded are present. Oh pop-up, it is restoring my songs and pics. Blah, gotta sift through some contact syncing issues. Back soon...
    Update: That was weird. It wanted to change a few peoples "type" from "empty" to "person." Also it wanted to change the URL for birthdays on iCal. Looks okay though. Correction about the icons, they were just moved around, not removed. Apps are there. OMG FINALLY, the calendar isn't default one color! Love the PhoneSaber app. Ha ha. New contacts icon.
    I heard you can hold the home button and press the top power button to take a screen shot. Sure enough, you can! Adds the picture to Photos. Kind of froze my screen for a second. Scared me...
    Well that's all. Looks like it was succesful. Took about 20 minutes over all. Good luck and have fun!

    Good luck... it took me about an hour to completely update my iPhone this morning, and I started around 7:20AM. While it was trying to activate, it was telling me that I had no signal and that it could not activate without a signal... I guess it resolved itself, because installation (even though it was super slow) finished smoothly, and I haven't had any issues all day.

  • Another Thread About Compiling

    I'm having problems compiling some java source files, and after scouring these forums and doing countless google searches I can't seem to get this figured out.
    The source files are divided into two packages: tic, and tic.event. As such, the directory structure is a folder called "tic" that contains several source files and a .jar file and another folder "event" which contains the remaining source files.

    Most of those classes (Time, TargetEvent) are in the tic.event package. Not sure why it's unable to resolve things like super and serializable though. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Ok, here is UserMode.java which should correspond with the last error for example:
    package tic.event;
    import java.util.*;
    public class UserMode extends TargetEvent {
         private String mode;
         public UserMode(String sourceNick, String sourceLogin,

              this.mode = mode;
         public String Serialize(ArrayList incoming) {
              ArrayList outgoing =
                   new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(new String[] {mode}));
              outgoing.addAll(incoming);
              return super.Serialize(outgoing);
    }Once again, I know this program works, so I'm not sure if analyzing code syntax is going to help here...
    EDIT: Ok, yeah I'm pretty sure its something with the classpath too.. but what should I be checking here?

  • Catching an exception thrown from another thread

    I have a SocketServer that creates new threads to handle incoming clients. If one of the threads throw a SQLException is it possible to catch that exception in the SocketServer that created that thread.
    I tried implementing this code and I cannot get the server to catch an exception thrown in the thread. Are my assumptions correct?
    I was reading something about Thread Groups and implementing an uncoughtException() method, but this looked like overkill.
    Thanks for your time!
    Some Example code would be the following where the ClientThread will do a database query which could cause an SQLException. I'd like to catch that exception in my Socket Server
          try
                 new ClientThread( socketServer.accept() , host, connection ).start();
          catch( SQLException e )
                 System.out.println( "DataSource Connection Problem" );
                  e.printStackTrace();
          }

    hehe, why?
    The server's job is to listen for an incoming message from a client and pass it off to a thread to handle the client. Otherwise the server will have to block on that incoming port untill it has finished handling the client and usually there are many incoming clients continuously.
    The reason I would want to catch an exception in the server based on the SQLException thrown in the thread is because the SQLException is usually going to be due to the fact the datasource connection has become unavalable, or needs to be refreshed. This datasource connection is a private variable stored in the socket server. The SocketServer now needs to know that it has to refresh that datasource connection. I would normally try to use somesort of flag to set the variable but to throw another wrench into my dilemma, the SocketServer is actually its own thread. So I can't make any of these variables static, which means I can't have the thread call a method on teh socket server to change the status flag. :)
    I guess I need implement some sort of Listener that the thread can notify when a datasource connection goes down?
    Thanks for the help so far, I figured java would not want one thread to catch another thread's exceptions, but I just wanted to make sure.

  • Can I use select in one thread and do FD_SET in another thread

  • Keymapping (follow up from another thread)

    To follow up on another thread, I checked out the keymappings and found most of what I was looking for.
    Only a couple of things I miss:
    1. SHIFT + TAB doesn't pull the text back with it if the text is not selected. I am convised most editors do this and I keep find myself trying to do it in JDev and it doesn't work, and then I go in a huff.
    2. Ctrl+K, Ctrl+L to perform a word match forwards or backwards, based purely on text in the document, ie. not syntax/context sensitive. This was one of my most used/most time saved features in Netbeans.

    Hi,
    don't understand what 1) is supposed to do. Can you explain this further? Winword and TextPad behave differently. I tried NetBeans and shift+tab is doing nothing.
    For 2) Is it the same as
    pressing ctrl+f to enter a search string and then continuing with F3 for forward matches and shift+F3 for backward matches? If you select a string before pressing ctrl+f then this string is added to the search list.
    If yes, then you can change the key mapping in Tools-->Preferences --> Accelerators to the keyboard combination you are most familiar with (look for "find").

  • How can I pass an exception from one thread to another thread

    If I create a new class, that will extends the class Thread, the methode run() can not be use with the statement Throws Exeption .
    The question now: Is there any possibility to pass an exception from one thread to another thread?
    Thx.

    It really depends on what you want to do with your exception. Is there some sort of global handler that will process the exceptions in some meaningful way? Unless you have that, there's not much point in throwing an exception in a thread, unless you simply want the stack trace generated.
    Presuming that you have a global handler that can catch exceptions, nest your Exception subclass inside a RuntimeException:
    public class NestedRuntimeException extends RuntimeException
        private final m_nestedException;
        public NestedRuntimeException(final Exception originalException)
            super("An exception occurred with message: " + originalException.getMessage());
            m_nestedException;
        public Exception getNestedException()
            return m_nestedException;
    }Your global handler can catch the NestedRuntimeException or be supplied it to process by the thread group.

  • Are you suppose to access UIView from another thread?

    A lot of UI events in my apps take place in another thread. So in my uivewcontroller, it catches a button click for example, it launches a NSThread with some parameter. The reason I decided to use a thread is because if the duration takes long the UI completely locks up. The thread then fetches for some result and access a pointer to a UIView (a UILabel for example) and update it's content.
    Now, is this model correct? I'm running in cases where setting the UILabel.text from the thread sometimes work, sometimes doesnt. I'm not sure how to debug. If I change the thread call to a standard method call (which blocks until results are ready) the text is updated correctly.
    Any hints?

    You can't catch exceptions from another thread. It's that easy. You could somehow ensure that exceptions from that other thread are always caught and somehow passed to your thread, but that would be a different thing (you would still be catching the exception on the thread it is originating from, as is the only way).
    For example you can use setUncaughtExceptionHandler() on your thread to provide an object that handles an uncaught exceptions (and you could pass that uncaught exception to your other thread in some way).

  • Running another thread not to block UI

    I do some heavy operation inside the actionPerformed (load images from File Chooser, resize it for display and populate it in the ScrollPane etc) and I realize that the windows freezes until the whole operation is finished. And it doesn't really help that I do repaint() or validate(). I make some research and some of the books and people from forums say that I actually needed to dispatch another thread to run the heavy operation. So that I won't block the UI interface and can update things accordingly. But the problem is, I don't have any clear example to understand this concept. How to clean up the thread after operation finished. How can a thread notify the progress back and etc. I need to know how much images has been loaded so that I can update the progress bar and so on. Can anyone help me point out a good example? :D

                    file= fcSelectFile.getSelectedFiles();
                    //This is where a real application would open the file.
                    Thread worker=new Thread(){
