E7 WiFI Fix?

Since no one responded in the feedback thread...
I have updated to Belle on my E7. I keep getting random disconnects of my WiFi despite it being On and the network is set-up as on Anna. It would sometimes automatically reconnect when I try accessing internet content, but not in all cases.
Can someone from Support provide more info on whether someone is working on a fix? I don't want to start calling Nokia Care, I believe the forum is more useful in fixing such issues.
Any feedback please? As far as I know I am not the only one with such issue on E7!
I can probably live with the rest of the bugs but this is unacceptable.
Actually - the other really troublesome thing - no Bookmarks can be used as Apps on Homescreen. I have heard rumours of a widget that could fix this. Can anyone please clarify the reason for the change and whether we are getting a fix via a widget or whatever. I NEED bookmarks as widgets...otherwise I have to make 3 additional clicks and a scroll to access the same thing I can access with one click.

Seconded. The wi-fi disconnect bug has been there for almost a year now and means that my E7 is almost unusable. I cannot BELIEVE that this wasn't fixed as part of the Belle update! 8-( 8-(
See other threads for details, but note that my N8 and C7 have no such issues. This is E7-specific.

Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.

Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.
I wanted to share an experience with everyone I hope will help others avoid what I have gone through the past 3 days. I bought a Yoga 11s that I loved but had some issues with the wireless, Lenovo being awesome replaced it with a Yoga 2 13. I love this laptop but ran into some issues with Linux install/wireless, which I wanted to show how to resolve in one place. Hopefully this will help someone else get through this quicker
I am going to try and write this for someone with little Linux experience, if I miss the mark please let me know and I will clarify the best I can.
For work I need Windows 8.1 and Kali Linux, while for home I prefer Ubuntu.
My Yoga 2 13:
I5 1.6 ghz
8 GB ram
256 GB SSD
ORANGE!
My requirements:
I need Windows
I need Kali Linux (livecd, even with persistent mode was not an option as it would not save the wireless fix or system updates) – I would also like this on a USB drive and not the internal SSD
I would like Ubuntu
Needed to do this:
1. 2 USB thumb drives (at least 8gb in size each) I used 2 Leef Supra 32GB drives. They are my favorite right now and are only about $27 at amazon.
2. Phone that can USB Tether or a USB Ethernet card (External USB wireless will show as "Hardware Locked"). Again you can pick one up for sub $10 if you need the USB Ethernet route. I used my Galaxy S5, you will need to download 200-300 mb of items through this so make sure you have the data if you go that route.
3. You may be able to get a USB wifi card to work if you do the following after boot. This only worked once for me.
                a.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlmvm’
b.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlwifi’
4. ISOs of Ubuntu and Kali Linux (I used Ubuntu 14.04 and Kali Linux 1.0.7)
5. Software to unzip the ISOs. I recommend 7-ZIP and will be referencing this in this guide.
6. I will include the EFI boot files and the WiFi fix files if I can attach. Otherwise I will provide a link to them.
   Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
Recommended (these are just in case you corrupt something making your system not see any OS
1. I would call Lenovo beforehand and get a set of recover disks (this will take 2-3 days)
2. In the meantime a USB Windows 8.1 or 8 ISO (the repair feature may save you)
*Note: At many points in this guide I detail steps and commands. Please double check that you understand the step before proceeding. There are multiple points where a mistyped command or clicking the wrong option will cause your entire system to fail and you will need to reformat the entire drive and start over. This also will make One Touch recovery not work. Proceed with caution.*
I did not need to disable ‘secure boot’ to do this, but keep in mind that you may need to.
Steps:
First let’s go through the installs, and then we will go through grub config and wireless fix
1. In Windows scroll to computer and right click, select manage.
2. Go to “Disk Management”
3. Select the main HDD (notice Lenovo puts a stupid number of partitions on here)
a. I deleted the D: drive on here, if you do this make sure to copy the drives over to your main C: drive. You will want to run each of the installers and repair the drivers after.
4. I used the space from the D: drive and pulled a little more creating a 50 GB partition for Ubuntu and my swap file
a. You can also add more space by right clicking your C drive and selecting shrink
b. Do not format the partitioned data as this will make identifying it later much easier.
5. Open a command line
                a. Swipe from the right of the screen and select search
                b. Type ‘cmd’
                c. right click and select ‘run as admin’
6. For Ubuntu: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
                a. type ‘list disk’
i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
                b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
d. type ‘clean’
e. type ‘create partition primary’
f. type ‘active’
g. type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
h. type ‘assign’
i. type ‘exit’
6. For Kali Linux: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
                a. type ‘list disk’
i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
                b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
d. type ‘clean’
e. type ‘create partition primary size= 3272
f. type ‘active’
g. type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
h. type ‘assign’
i. type ‘exit’
j. By doing this we can maintain a portion of this drive as the install CD and still have linux install/ liveCD if we need to run it on another machine.
7. At this point the drive is ready to have the contents of the ISO copied over.
8. Right click the ISO and select 7-zip then ‘zip to /’ This should unzip the ISO to the location of the ISO into a folder named exactly the same as the ISO.
9. Once this is done for Ubuntu ISO it is done
10. Kali requires a little bit more to be ready
                a. Kali will need some files added for EFI boot. --$--
                               i. Thanks to: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?271-How-to-EFI-install-Kali-Linux
                               ii. EFI files are located within the wifi fix folder https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
11. Now let’s start with Ubuntu
Ubuntu install
1.     Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
2.     Select ‘Boot Menu’
3.     Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
4.     Select ‘install Ubuntu’
5.     Go through the Ubuntu install until you get to select the install drive
6.     Once you get to the install portion it will ask you to select from one of 4 options. Select ‘Manually select partition’
7.     Select the “Free Space” where we opened up some of the drive
8.     You will need to create 2 partitions, I usually create the swap partition at the end of the drive
a.     First I create the swap
                                          i.    Set at the end of the drive
                                         ii.    Set size to 1024 mb
                                        iii.    Set type to ‘swap’
b.     Second create the ext 4 partition
                                          i.    Set to beginning of drive
                                         ii.    Set to remainder of the space
                                        iii.    Set type to ext4
                                        iv.    Set mount point to /
9.     Finish the install and boot into Ubuntu
10.   You will notice that your wireless is ‘disabled by hardware’ This is fine for the time being and we will worry about this after the kali install. If we fix it now for some reason after installing kali we get the error again and would just need to fix it again.
Kali Linux install
1.     Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
2.     Select ‘Boot Menu’
3.     Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
4.     From the grub menu select ‘install kali linux’ both graphical and text work. I much prefer text install
5.     You will get a few errors through the install but that is fine
6.     The first we see is about network hardware and ‘load missing firmware from removable media?’ – Select ‘no’
7.     Then select no ethernet card
8.     It will have you name your machine then it will ask you for the root password
a.     If you want to just use root *not recommended* place the password here
b.     If you wish to use a non-root account then leave these blank and it will ask you for a name, username, and password of the new machine *Very Recommended* - this will also add this user to the sudoers file
9.     It will then ask you to ‘partition disks’
10.   Select manual
11.   Now here is where it can get a little confusing so read twice click once
12.   Select the USB drive from this list
13.   Mine shows up under (sdb) – Leef Supra
a.     It could be sdc, sdd, sde, etc… depending on how many drives you have plugged in.
14.   You should see one primary drive that is 3gb or so that is formatted as FAT32. – DO NOT TOUCH THIS PARTITION!
15.   You should see the remainder of this drive as ‘FREE SPACE’ select that
16.   Create a partition at the end at size 1024mb and swap
17.   Then create another one for the remainder of the drive and set it to ext4 with mountpoint of /
18.   Continue through the install after you should see an error warning you that ‘you may not be able to boot’ that is fine, select continue
19.   Then select from the menu of all the options ‘continue without bootloader’
20.   It should finish up then reboot on its own.

First setup/boot/fix grub
1.     You should be able to boot up into GRUB2 menu now.
2.     You may not see kali linux in this menu (make sure you have your towel and don’t panic!)
3.     Boot into Ubuntu
4.     Once you log in you should see that you still cannot use wireless due to being locked by hardware
5.     This is expected
6.     Let’s fix grub then we will come back to fixing wireless
7.     Plug in your device to connect to the internet (USB Tethering or USB Ethernet)
8.     Once you verify that you now have an internet connection run the following from terminal
a.     ‘sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer’
b.     ‘sudo apt-get update’
c.     ‘sudo apt-get install grub-customizer’
9.     You can also edit the grub.cfg manually if you know what you are doing… I did not
10.   Open grub customizer
11.   It should auto populate and you should see ‘debian (kali linux)’ somewhere in the list
12.   It should be mounted to /dev/sdb2 or /dev/sdc2 depending on how many devices you have
13.   At this point go ahead and save
14.   Reboot and test that you can get into each OS
15.   This is where my inexperience got me. I spent 2 of my days so I am including this error: If when you boot into Kali you get an error somewhere that says ‘/bin/sh: can’t access tty: job control turned off’ look above it for an error that looks similar to ‘ALERT! /dev/sdc2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!!’
a.     That error is due to the mount point being incorrect in grub, reboot and from within grub highlight the kali boot. Press ‘e’ then towards the bottom you should see ‘root=/dev/sdc2’ change this to ‘root=/dev/sdb2’ again the number doesn’t matter just make sure it stays the same.
b.     Press F10
c.     If this boots fine then you will need to go back and fix the grub.cfg or load into Ubuntu and open grub customizer again, it should fix this
16.   Now you have 3 working OS on the machine with one being on a USB! Congrats!
17.   You can remove the USB with no worry of screwing up your install, but you will not be able to boot into Kali Linux until you replace it. I would suggest only removing it and replacing it while the machine is powered off, but that’s just me.
Fix Wireless
Now is the time to do what probably ¾ of you came here for. FIX THE DANG WIRELESS. This is a huge problem from Lenovo’s side that I hope they realize how important Linux is and will fix. I won’t hold my breath though.
Log into Ubuntu : This is well documented in the following forum post on page 3 by user Haohe:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2215044&page=3
His has you download quite a large file, mine should be much smaller.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
1.     Download the attached package with the fix.
2.     Connect your USB internet device (tether or ethernet)
3.     Place the packages somewhere easy to access, in this example I will place them under ~/Desktop/WiFiFix
4.     Type ‘cd ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/’
5.     Now we need to prep the tools we need.
6.     Type ‘sudo apt-get update’ – we did this before, but you know, just in case
7.     Type ‘sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname –r`’   Note around uname-r they are the ` symbol not the ‘ this is located just above the tab on the same key as ~.
8.     Type ‘make’
9.     Type ‘sudo cp /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup’
10.   Type ‘sudo cp ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/ideapad-laptop.ko /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/’
11.   Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
12.   Type ‘sudo modprobe ideapad-laptop’
13.   Type ‘sudo rfkill unblock all’
14.   Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
15.   Type ‘sudo mv ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko’
16.   Next we need to blacklist the ideapad module
17.   Type ‘sudo echo 'blacklist ideapad-laptop' > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
a.     The first time I tried this it wouldn’t work. So I did the following
b.     ‘sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
c.     ‘sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
d.     Enter     blacklist ideapad-laptop
e.     Exit and save
18.   Reboot your Yoga 2 13
19.   Boot into kali and see if you have wireless, if you do then you are done. If not we will need to repeat this process with one small little change.
Kali Wifi Fix
1.     Copy the sources.list from the package provided
2.     Replace /etc/apt/sources.list with the included
3.     Some of the file path changes but the process remains the same from here.
Congratulations you now have 3 OSes one portable to other machines and working wifi!
Thank you

My wife fixed the Lion Internet connectivity Problem!!

This story kills me. I upgraded to lion on our two MBP. Mine worked great. My wife had the problem where, upon waking, the MBP was still connected to the wifi (airport express) BUT she had no connectivity to the internet.
I researched the heck out of this and tried everything.
I got on Apple care and we tried another 30min worth of stuff. Eventually they said bring it to a genius bar.   I almost thought I had it when I reset everything to factory default on the airport. It worked a few times but then went back to the same problem.
Last night my wife popped out a cd in here machine.   She asked if I had put it there. I had about a week ago.   Not long after that he MBP problem went away.   Well there is no way a CD in the laptop is going to affect internet connectivity.....so I assumed that my airport reset finally did the trick.
But.... this AM I noticed in the Apple support area that someone else noticed that when they pulled a cd out.....things worked.
This is ridiculous....
So I put the cd back in here computer....the problem is back!!... pulled it out....problem gone!
Went to my computer which never had a problem....put CD in....now I have a problem.....pulled it out....no problem (note that you do have to cycle the wireless one time only after you have the problem.... after that sleep...wake....restart....you name it it worked.   The CD is a blank CD by the way.
So its crazy but my wife, who had problems with my tv remote,   fixed the problem!!

Report this issue to Apple's engineering by sending a bug report via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report. You'll get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering, hopefully getting them to put the issue at the top of their bug fix list.

OSX Yosemite Wifi FIX!!

I found a way to fix the wifi issue on my iMac which i upgraded from maverick to Yosemite OSX. I got fed up with all the fixes that didn't fix the problem so I opened app store and re-downloaded Mavericks.. I noticed that for two hours my wifi didn't drop once. then within 2 minutes after download it disconnected...... So after a thought, i opened my torrent program and let 1 file seed at .2K and magically no wifi issue as long as something is always using the connection....

Try the workaround suggested in this article: http://tidbits.com/article/15273?rss

Possible Macbook WIFI fix. Let me know if it works.

Try this. Disconnect all cables from your Macbook. Flip it upside down, remove the battery.
Open the Macbook back up and press and hold the power button for at least ten full seconds.
Replace the battery, start up, try wireless networking.
This has **** worked for me for like the past 20 minutes. I haven't been so lucky since I got this computer!
Next, going to try linux.

You're correct, the wifi stopped working this morning. It didn't do it for no reason, though... Here's what happened.
My cable modem wasn't getting a downstream. My wireless was still fine, but I had to reset the cable-to-wireless gateway router. I turned my airport off, reset it, and then reconnected. It did the familiar timeout thing a few times in a row, but finally I got the thing to connect. My internet was sluggish and eventually stopped.
I did the battery fix and now it's back up and running again. Weird.

Will you announce WIFI fix?

Could you guys please make sure and post when Apple sends out a fix for the WIFI??? I really want to purchase an iPad – this device looks great!!!
---- but not until this issue WIFI issue is fixed. I plan on using the iPAD at all hotspots including my office in the basement. I hope you guys can understand my concerns
My home WIFI router is upstairs in the other office, which is not issue for my…
• two personal HP laptops
• two work laptops using a VPN connection
• HP 64bit quad desktop
• my Samsung blu-ray player (streaming Netflix, Pandora and youtube on my TV )
• HTC Diamond windows mobile phone
• iPod touch
• Nintendo Wii
I hope Apple understands that I do not want to change a stable network – that works flawlessly with all these devices, just for the iPad
Thank you!!

Assuming that the fix is a software fix, the quickest way to know about it will be if you already own an iPad and it tells you there's an update available. If you wait until they release an update, and then buy an iPad, you'll have to update it to the latest release anyway. So you're not really saving much by not buying it now and getting whatever use you can out of it in the mean time.
If, however, the fix ends up being a hardware fix, then they may have to issue a recall for defective units.
idk. But anyway, I'm sure you'll see quite a few posts here if/when an update comes out.

Yoga 2 Pro: Sound, Browser and Wifi Fixes

These are the fixes I have came across the last couple months. Hope these are helpful.
Sound, when plugging in headphones or HDMI connecton the sound will go out sometimes.
FIX: Press Mute, then mute again(turning the sound back on). Works fine after.
Browser, I don't have this one licked yet but this is my work around. I would love input if anyone has a better alterative. In Chrome touchpad scrolling is impossible for me to use. It will scroll 10% down the page and stop then start zooming the page in and out. But the touchscreen does work fine. I prefer the touchpad in most cases, so this is what i have done. I do miss the extentions in Chrome.
FIX: Use Firefox. Not a perfect fix but I am happy. The loading times when going back to pages is alot faster and touchpad scrolling def works.
Wfif, works fine most the time. As of the last 2 weeks, twice the wifi went to a "limit connection".
FIX: Windows "Troubleshooot Problems" on the Wifi icon. It like restarts the wireless connection and works fine.

1. This is a Windows 8/realtek feature. If I am listening to iTunes first and then play a youtube video, it will assume that since iTunes has been playing longer, it must be more important. As a result, it plays the youtube video at a lower. Even if you pause iTunes, Windows will be hooked to the iTunes player for a few min before it realizes the change in audio states and increases the youtube video.
Try: Control Panel > Sound > "Communications" tab > "Do nothing".
2. Sounds like a Windows problem too.
3. Have you tried disabling adaptive brightness (it must be disabled in 3 different locations, to properly be disabled).
4. Try disabling/uninstalling DPTF

Ipad mini (iOS 6.0.2) wifi fixes don't work

please don't reply to this with the fixes that are already posted a zillion times in these forums. they aren't working for me (and it looks like a lot of other people). my question is what to do once we're beyond all those. i received an ipad mini for xmas, and it's running iOS 6.0.2, which is supposedly better than its predecessor (how that can be, i'm not sure). i love this device enough to continue to put up with the issues, so returning it is not an option. however, i'm hopeful that someone out there has talked to a mac genius and discovered some trick to keep the wifi connected for longer than a second or two intermittently.
if that's not the case, then when can we expect 6.0.3 or 6.1 to actually resolve the issue? or (gulp...) is it hardware related?
thanks,
Michael

Since the vast majority of iPad mini users are not having WiFi problems then, if you are having consistent WiFi problems on all networks, you very likely have a hardware problem with your iPad mini. This probably cannot be fixed by any iOS software update. The iOS 6.0.2 software fix likely was for a bug that only showed up with certain access points or network configurations. The only way to get your problem fixed is to get your iPad mini replaced by Apple. The fastest way to do this is via the Apple store but you can also arrange for replacement if you contact Apple support.

TS1559 Permanent Wifi fix?

Hi,
I'm extremely frustrated with the wifi issues on iOS 7.. Is there any permanent fox for this? Or does anyone have a clue about when iOS 7.1 will be out? Cause I haven't heard anything about apple trying to fix this HUGE flaw in their newest iOS.. I'm sure there are thousands of others who are extremely frustrated with this issue. I'm also not willing to send in my phone and pay for a repair for an issue that was cause by apple themselves.. Definitely lost them a lot of customers....
Anyways I hope someone can help me on this..
Thanks in advance!

I think what I am trying to ask is:
Was there a fix.....or is there a fix?
If there was, and its been applied to my ipad....and had worked for others....then I may need to investigate if it is a hardware issue.
If there was not a fix and others are still having the same issue....then I need to wait like everyone else...I get that part.
Just a little frustrated that my ipad keeps dropping its connection after applying several suggestions others have kindly offered.

Temporary fix as per Apple Product specialist OSX 10.5.8 WIFI fix

I just worked for about an hour with an Apple Product specialist and verified the problem and resolved it with the following steps which are a temporary fix until Apple releases a permanent fix:
Verified battery performance much lower WIFI only than on power.
Temporary fix:
1. Open Finder
2. Go to /system/library/extensions
3. Open Time Machine in the above folder on the date prior to the upgrade in my case Aug 4 09
4. Restore:
- appleairport.kext
- I080211family.kext (start is eye oh not one zero)
Tests and all performance fully restored

It has in my case and my roommates but our wireless chip set is the same even though his is a March 09 Macbook Pro and mine is an Oct 08 Macbook Pro. The Apple fellow was able to determine this by the three logs I sent him and then he told me what files to replace.
All is now perfect with both our machines. Your machine might have different hardware and thus be affected differently by this upgrade.
Apple is working on a fix but who knows when it will be released.

Iphone 4s Wifi Fix

I had to resolder the wifi chip back in to get my wifi to work. No hair dryers or freezers.

And that's not an authorized procedure by Apple; therefore, your 'fix' will void any and all in- or out-of-warranty support from Apple in the future.
Apple will not provide any assistance, ever, for that device, whether the issue is related to wi-fi or not.

My WiFi Fix!

I have a netgear wgr614v6 router and for some reason when I accessed my network with both my laptop and iphone there was someone sort of conflict neither device would be able to acccess the internet causing me to have to turn off the iphone wifi and then disconnecting my laptop from the network and reconnecting it to get it to work. So all I did was go into the router settings and assign a static ip address to my Iphone(mac address). It seems like when the iphone was asking for an ip address from the router it was messing everything else up including my laptop and my xbox 360 would kick me off the online service in the middle of the game. There is deffinitely a serious software flaw somewhere in there especially when you look at the amount of posts on this board from 3g owners and original owners with the 2.0 upgrade. Just my two cents. I forgot to add that I was just at my parents and they had a 2wire dsl modem/router all in one piece and I had no problems getting on the internet with a laptop while I was on the iphone internet, not sure why??? maybe something on my router is set wrong but for now it works with my temp fix.

I am also experiencing the same issue. I have a netgear WNR854T with the latest firmware 1.4.34NA. I can confirm that it is not a DHCP problem with my router. my laptop gets assigned a static Ip address of 192.168.1.105 and the DHCP server starts assigning IP addresses at 192.168.1.2. its very easy for me to reproduce the problem. On my 3g iphone i simply try to access the internet. when it asks which network to join i click on my local wifi connection and it complains that it cannot join the network. at the exact same time my laptop gets knocked off the wifi network. All this time i've been frustrated with my HP notebook & Intel 802.11n network adaptor thinking it was dropping the connection, but i finally found the culprit to the problem today - my 3G iphone
I have temporarily disabled wifi on my iphone until i can find out how to resolve the problem.

Another WiFi fix to try

I was having the same wifi issues as others. Low signal. No connection. I would have to renew the lease to get connected again.
I put a static IP address in the IPad and I do not have any connection problems anymore. The signal shows low but it routes fine and loads pages quickly.
Just thought I would share this information. Just check the IP address you have when connected and jot it down. Then put in an IP address (last group of numbers) that is a little higher so no other device snags that one and you should be good to go.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

"The latest build of Flash is 10.1.82.76, a security update. The installation of that update created a permissions conflict on my system and at least one other which caused embedded Flash content to not display.
The fix for this is to uninstall Flash and then delete the following registry key (Admin rights will be required).
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-shockwave-flash
Then install Flash and the permission mask should now be correct. A quick test of embedded content will confirm."
After trying various ideas over the past three days, this was the only one that worked for me. For those unfamiliar, you can get to the registry key by doing Start/run/regedit. Then keep expanding each section til you get to this particular key. Right click on it and delete. You might want to set a restore point first, just in case things go wrong. Start/All Programs/Accessories/SystemTools/SystemRestore then choose create a restore point.

Wifi fix that worked for me

I did a reset using the "all settings" option and it seems to solve the weak wifi issue.

What iPad update through itunes are you referring to please? I just synched and it says 3.2 is the latest update software for the ipad.
Thanks
