IPhone issues / burglar alarm question

Hi,
Am on BT infinity. Just wondered if any of you use speedtest.net app on iPhone. I only get a download speed of about 15 - 20 mbits sec over 'N' wireless. I get similar on my laptops but these have 'G' cards so the speed is to be expected. Just wondered why my iPhone 4 and my wife's iPad don't do better especially as they are 'N' and my netgear broadcasts N upto 130 mbps. Hard wired on my laptop I get about 25-30 m/bits download depending on which way the wind blows! (unfortunately am a fair way from cabintet so my infinity sync not as fast as most).
Second question, last couple of evenings I noticed internet performance on my iPhone nose dived. Things like safari browsing and speedtest.net app were fine but the iTunes store app was ludicrously slow. Are BT throttling this traffic in the evening for the iPhone 4? Made it unusable. I know it's not the actual store because under 3G the performance was better than wifi. It's weird because normal safari browsing remains quick.
Final question, we are getting burglar alarms fitted shortly. Do the sensors or any part of the burglar alarm system have negative impacts on Wifi? It's an ADT system in case anyone has the same.
Many thanks,
Wayne

With wireless networks the speed is always restricted by the slowest bit of kit attached. So if you have any G's on the N network, all your N's will be slowed to G.
Your speed may be another issue. You would need to goto http://speedtester.bt.com/  and check what throughput you get. It's good to do this test in the morning, afternoon and evening. Then you should see if capacity is the issue.
Can't answer about the Alarm, but would think the sensors are infra-red and should not effect it, would also assume it may have to be on it's own phone line.

  • Burglar Alarm System Design?

    Hi I am looking for a Burglar Alarm System program on Labview, I have found this one example however it is missing a Sub Vi named Arm.vi
    Any help would be greatly appreciated if anyone has any programs or could work out how to get this one running. I am no expert on Labview so need loads of help.
    Thank You

    The "Arm.vi" sub-vi is the heart of the program! The rest is just a rather messy wiring of the "entry" switches. Not sure why the "panic" button is set to stop the program, they usually set off the alarm. Judging from what is in the vi you supplied (apparently a school project) the "Arm.vi" allows the user to enter a "security code" from the keypad, waits some time after that, then starts monitoring the status of the "entry switches". If you have LabVIEW I would suggest making a simple program that loops at a specific rate (use a timed loop if available (I think it is only in the Full Dev package), otherwise a loop with a "wait (ms)" function set to a reasonable time (don't need to scan too fast, once every 200mS is More than fast enough I would think), and if it detects a "breech" sets a latched boolean (shift registers can be used to latch a boolean).  Give it a try, it is the way you grow to be "an expert at LabVIEW". It is unlikely that you will get a complete solution here, but if specific, incremental questions are asked you probably will.

  • My wife and I have a family account at Verizon and are thinking of getting the IPhone 4S.  My question is can we both use the functions of Icloud on the same account at Verizon or do we have to have separate accounts to be able to use all the features

    My wife and I have a family account at Verizon and are thinking of both getting the IPhone 4S.  My question is can we both use all of the features of Icloud with one account at Verizon or do we need to have separate accounts?

    If Mail in Mavericks is the same as earlier versions you can select accounts in the sidebar, so that you can either display the inboxes for individual accounts, or the contents of all the account inboxes. (If the accounts don't show click the disclosure triangle next to 'INBOX'). The layout may have changed since the version I have - Snow Leopard - but you should be able to do the same thing.

  • HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. MY question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this aren't working

    HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
    When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
    If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
    Help!

    That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html

  • Importing iPhoto files onto an iPhone 3G using iTunes question....

    New! Importing iPhoto files onto an iPhone 3G with iTunes question
    Posted: Aug 14, 2008 9:07 AM Reply Email
    So letme get this striaght...
    You first create an album in iPhoto 08 with just the images you want put onto your iPhone 3G.
    NEXT: you connect tou iPhone 3G and iTunews will open. You go to the iPhone in iTunes and select the photo tag and then select the album you had made for import and sync it with you iPhone. Will large image files automatically be resized for use on the iPhone 3G?
    Most of my .JPG files are from 4 -5 MB each in size. What will it do with a RAW image file?

    I am not 100% sure, but i BELIEVE that they do get resized because as it's syncing with the iPhone, iTunes will state that it is optimizing the selected photos for the iPhone, just like we would see for the iPod.

  • HT5316 I've been working with Mainstage 2.1.3 and have experienced concerts crashing immediately after loading.  I'm not installing Mainstage 2.2.2 to see if that helps alleviate the issue.  My question is: should I uninstall Mainstage 2.1.3 now?

    Hi all,
    I've been working with Mainstage 2.1.3 and have experienced concerts crashing immediately after loading.  In an attempt to solve crash issue, I've installed Mainstage 2.2.2 to see if that helps alleviate the issue.  My question is: should I uninstall Mainstage 2.1.3 now in order to save memory?
    thanks,

    You would only save about 500MB by deleting MS 2.1.3. You may find it useful to keep the application, or perhaps to make a zip and then delete the original

  • My Iphone 5 clock alarm isnt going off when its "on sound", it acts as if its on vibrate and doesnt wake me up. Started with the IOS upgrade. Is there a bug?

    My new Iphone 5 clock alarm isnt going off where I can hear it.  Its started on my 4S when I upgraded to IOS6 and even on the Itouch too.  I set the clock alarm, turn on sound (not silent), the alarm goes off, but no sounds comes out.   I have to reset home to get it to recognize its off, but that doesnt always work, it did it on both my Itouch and Iphone5 I almost over slept this morning because never of them went off and woke me up.   Acted as it the sound was down (which it wasnt) and it was on silent mode (which it wasnt)  Is there a bug with this?  I cant trust my phone now to wake me up.  Any help?  Thanks Tracey

    Same problem here. Me and my girlfriend swapped iphone 5's (she has white, I have black) in may and I rely on the alarm every morning to wake me up for work. It hasn't let me down.
    A few days ago I set 2 alarms very early in the morning to wake me up for an early morning flight. Neither alarm made a sound & I missed the flight!!
    We then swapped our phones back & she has just had exactly the same thing happen & has missed an important meeting at work. Again, quite an early morning alarm. The odd thing is I have a black iphone 5, also latest OS,  never had this happen to me...
    Has anyone solved this problem. I can't make it repeat (reset the same alarm for a different time & it goes off fine).
    Does I need to buy her a dedicated alarm clock!?!

  • Airport wlan and burglar alarm

    Hey I have bought an ABUS burglar alarm. I thought its control panel was a wireless one. But it was only the contacts, PIR camera i.e that was wireless.
    The controlpanel itselv must be connected to the internet via router. In my case a Netgear.
    When my router and the control panel are placed far from each other, I have to draw a looong cabel. Not very easy. So I got the idea, that I could set up my old AirPort Express near the contolpanel of the burglarm alarm. Then connect it to my existing wireless network (from the Netgear) - and put a short ethernet cabel from the AirPort Express to the controlpanel of the burglar alarm.
    I succeded to config. the Airport Express to my existing wireless network. The green light is on  -  but no connection between the control panel and the internet.
    Am I complete wrong in my theory ... or? HELP please

    not actually answered, but resolved...

  • Can i use my iphone as an alarm clock?

    i'm wondering if i can use my iphone as an alarm clock/clock radio without connecting it to one of the third-party docks?

    You can use the clock feature as an alarm clock I do, nothing  to stop you just plugging in with the supplied cable and the mains plug or an Apple dock to hold the iPhone upright to the mains plug

  • IPhone Issues - Phantom Emails

    I am experiencing phantom email in my exchange account. This has been happening once per day. I have turned off email, and turned it back on. this solves the issue but the problem keeps recurring daily. Please help. I am almost ready to go to a Galaxy.

    Contact the Exchange administrator.
    Delete and re-add the account.
    Switching devices is unlikely to resolve the issue as it's not really an iPhone issue.

  • Iphone sync phone number questions

    I am sync my iphone to my google apps contacts with the google iphone app. Everything works fine.
    One contact, however, has two mobile numbers. The 2nd mobile number is the 3rd phone number. That 3rd phone number does not sync at all to iphone.
    I will post to google, but first I want to make sure this is not an iphone issue.
    Iphone can sync to as many phone numbers as there are, right?
    Iphone can handle multiple mobile number, right?
    Sometimes I get a work fax synced instead of a work number, not an iphone issue, right?
    thanks!
