Lumia 920 Facebook connection very slow over WiFi ...

Since the Portico update the connection to Facebook both in the People and Me hub as well as in the Facebook app is very slow over WiFi, whilst still good over 4G/LTE (with WiFi off). The connection to the Nokia account also appears to have a similar problem. All other accounts and apps have good speed over both cellular and WiFi connections.
Any ideas anybody?
PS: FYI, a bit more info about the history and context: When I noticed the problem the first time after the update, I tried to solve it by deleting and re-adding my Facebook account on the phone. Unfortunately, that made me lose my Me hub tile, so I decided to do a full reset. That again unfortunately got stuck on the togg wheels, so I restored the phone using Nokia Care Suite with the latest firmware, and restored my accounts, apps and settings from scratch. Everythings seems to work fine now, except the above mentioned Facebook and Nokia account connectivity problem.

Did you somehow solve this problem?
I have the same issue here with my Lumia 920.
However I have already found out that it only applies to my home Wifi. All other Wifi networks i was connecting to did work flawlesly.
I need to note that all other devices on my home network are using facebook without a glitch. Only Lumia has some problems with it.

ITunes Match downloads very slow over LTE

Hi, I have an iPhone 5 on iOS 6.1.4. When downloading iTunes Match songs to my phone it is very slow over LTE taking roughly 1 minute per megabyte. Over wifi it is a lot faster taking perhaps less than 20 seconds per track on average. All other data based activity is fast over LTE so the issue does seem to be limited to iTunes Match downloads and is the same whether my music was matched or uploaded to to icloud.
Any fixes/suggestions much appreciated. I have a brand new handset and restored my phone yesterday. I'm on the EE network in London.
Thank you

Very slow internet (Wifi) on my mac mini late 2012

Hey, I have recently experienced very slow internet (Wifi) on my mac mini late 2012. On other mac's and computers the internet is working well. I cannot change the channel of the router (what I found out to be the only solution here), because I live in dormitory. Should I try to restore OS? What would be other possibilities? Is it OS or mac mini issue?

If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.

Very slow/stalling wifi connection on iMac

I recently purchased the iMac 21.5" Core i3 3.06GHz- I was quite exited about my new computer as I've been thinking about switching to Mac for a couple of months. I was amazed with the software compared to Windows, but so far I'm very dissapointed with the wifi connection.
I connect to a router which is two floors down in the same apartment building (we have an agreement to share the connection with my neighbors)- D-link router using WEP- authentication. On the same spot where I placed my iMac, I regularly get 2-3 out of 5 bars and speeds of approx. 250 kb/s with my corporate Windows7 lenovo PC. However, the iMac wifi connection is very slow- I'm not sure of the exact speed, as the connection is very unstable- sometimes webpages load quickly, but sometimes a simple web-page takes forever. The key issue is downloading files- when downloading a file, the speed starts at 250- 300 kb/s at first, then quickly drops to approx. 50 kb/s, a then usually stalls and the download is rarely finished.
I have tried browsing apple support for help, and found advice to adjust MTU in AirPort settings, and I experimented with various DNS, but niether of these seems to help, my web-browsing and page loading times seem to have improved, but downloading files is still almost impossible. The problem si very frustrating, since I get reliable speed and connection on my lenovo PC on the very same spot as the iMac.
Based on reading internet discussions on this topic this seems to be a rather wide-spread problem with the iMac, and I'm wondering if anyone here has a similar experience and any suggestions for a solution? Can it be an issue with the aluminium body which has poorer reception, and I simply need to move my desk to different location in the apartment?
Thanks, I appreciate all suggestions!

IPhone MUCH slower over wifi than laptop. is my phoen broken?

using iPhone 3GS, 32Gb
using Linksys WRT54G router
using wireless G
using WPA-PSK security
my home Internet connection is AT&T FastAccess 3.0 Mbps
If I go to speedtest.net from my wireless laptop, I get 2.8 Mbps down.
If I use the speedtest.net iPhone app over wifi, I get 0.6 Mbps down.
This is consistent. My wifi speed is slower than my 3G speed. Is there something wrong with my iPhone?

Thank you very much for that info. I'm curious - I've seen other people referencing download speeds of 9 - 10 mbps with their iPhone. Is that simply a reflection of a faster ISP connection? Thanks!

Very slow Ethernet & WIFI transfer speeds - MC340X/A

Hi.
I recently purchased an Airport Extreme model no. MC340X/A being used as an isolated standalone network with 3 gigabit ethernet clients and a couple of n WIFI clients, and no other base station or Hub/Switch in the network.
One of the problems I have is that I'm experiencing very slow network transfers between both ethernet clients and wifi clients of any combination. The maximum transfer rate I can achieve between ethernet to ethernet, WIFI to WIFI, or WIFI to ethernet clients connected to the MC340X/A is 2.5 MBytes / second, on both 2.4 and 5gig bands using n capable WIFI cards and gigabit ethernet cards.
I have performed a hard reset of the device with no improvement.
The firmware is version 7.5 and it appears there is no older firmware to revert back to for this model.
I have an older Airport Extreme n Gigabit model which achieves 7 to 12 MBytes / Second transfers over WIFI and at least 20MBytes / Second over ethernet to ethernet using the same clients, in exactly the same location etc.
Do I have a faulty unit and does it need to be returned? It is only 2 days old and want to sort it out within my 7 day return policy.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers
Cat

Sorry folks, I seem to have worked it out.
I found on another thread that saving the setup info as a profile and re-loading the saved profile has helped some people. This appears to have cured the slow transfers for me so far.

Sqlsrv very slow over network

I'm using sqlsrv (php_pdo_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll and php_sqlsrv_55_ts.dll) in PHP (5.5.12, CLI version on Windows 8.1) to connect to a SQL Server 2012 over a VPN tunnel. But the transfer rate for large result sets is very slow.
Testing SSMS on the same PC over the same VPN tunnel for this query (query is just for testing purposes, I also tried other queries with large data sets and all showed the same performance issues):
    SELECT *
    FROM [Data].[dbo].[Logins]
    WHERE date >= '2014-01-27 00:00:00.000' AND date < '2014-01-29 00:00:00.000'
returns about 100,000 rows in 4 seconds. Checking the transfer rate on my firewall/VPN shows 2,500 KB/s (on a 100mbit network) while the query is running.
Using PHP:
    sqlsrv_configure('ClientBufferMaxKBSize', 1024*1024);
    $dbconnect = "SERVER\\HERE";
    $dbconinfo = array("UID" => "user", "PWD" => "pass", "Database" => "Data")
    $conn = sqlsrv_connect( $dbconnect, $dbconinfo);
    $sql = "
    SELECT *
    FROM [dbo].[Logins]
    WHERE date >= '2014-01-27 00:00:00.000' AND date < '2014-01-29 00:00:00.000'
    $options = array();
    $options["Scrollable"] = SQLSRV_CURSOR_CLIENT_BUFFERED;
    $options["QueryTimeout"] = 30000;
    $stmt = sqlsrv_query( $conn, $sql, array(), $options);
runs 40 seconds and the firewall/VPN shows less than 150 KB/s while the query is running. Task-Manager shows around 5% CPU load for the script.
I used SQLSRV_CURSOR_CLIENT_BUFFERED just for testing, because it reads the result in its own buffer without any further PHP code. Fetching each set of data without buffering is just a little bit slower (around 45 seconds).
I also tried a PDO version which lead to the same result.
ConnectionPooling 0 or 1 didn't make any difference either.
Changing server name to DNS vs. IP adress also made no difference.
LogSubsystems -1 and LogSeverity -1 did not show any issues or anything helpful at all.
I even used Wireshark to watch the network traffic but couldn't find any big differences between PHP and SSMS versions. But I don't know too much about networking layers.
So the CPU load is low, there is no HDD use at all, the network transfer rate is extremely slow and the SQL server would be capable to deliver the results very much faster. And it actually is a lot faster with SSMS on the same PC and network connection.
Why is sqlsrv so very slow?
Any ideas what might be the issue or what I could try to speed up PHP/sqlsrv would be greatly appreciated.

Please tell us what are waits assigned to query, you can use below tsql code to get the information.
select session_id, t.text, start_time, status, command, db_name(database_id) As DBname, USER_NAME(user_id) As UserName, blocking_session_id, wait_type, wait_time, wait_resource, percent_complete from sys.dm_exec_requests
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle) as t
This information can help us to understand the problem.
Thanks,
Shashikant
Sadly I don't have the rights on the SQL Server for this query. But from what I gathered from similar issues on the web, SQL Server is most likely waiting for the client.
I also tried the same testing query now with Power Query in Excel. It's as fast as with SSMS. Just with sqlsrv on PHP it's extremly slow.
Testing the query on a local SQL Server, it's pretty much instantaneous with SSMS, Excel and sqlsrv on PHP as well.

My Time Machine backups are significantly larger, and slower, over WiFi than Ethernet

My regular hourly backups from my Time Capsule began acting up a month ago. They were abnormally large (25-100 MBs) and took a long time--once, six hours.
I connected my Time Capsule to my MacBook Air through ethernet to repair the disk through Disk Utility, (I turned Airport off on the Air, but not the Time Capsule), and then to rebuild the Spotlight index for the Time Capsule.
Backups over ethernet work just fine now. The backup will happen in two parts, of around 200 KB each, and take two or two and a half minutes. But when I turn Airport on the Air back on, reconnect to the WiFi network, unplug the ethernet cable, and immediately start a new backup over WiFi, the two parts balloon to around 20 MB each, and the backup takes hours.
This is a backup over ethernet, which took 2 minutes, 21 seconds:

I live in an apartment building so there are a number of WiFi networks around.
Not to mention cordless phones, microwaves, etc., any of which can interfere.
On iStumbler, my network shows up twice--once on channel 149, with signal strength of 50-65% and noise of 15%--and again on channel 10, with signal strength of that wildly varies from 20% to 90% and noise of 20%. Other networks in the building are on channels 1, 2, 6, and 11. The graph of channel 149 is very smooth, while the graph of channel 10 is choppy.
It's probably using 149, as those numbers are pretty good. Press Alt/Option before clicking the Airport icon in your menubar to see which band it's using.
Watch the band it's using while running a backup. Try other channels in the area of 149. Unfortunately, it's a bit of a "hit and miss" thing.
Why are there two networks? Is that part of the problem? My Time Capsule is located about three feet right and a foot below my desk, so I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't be 100% for both channels.
It's a dual-band router. As I understand it, OSX will pick the best signal.
I really want to know I have a clean, safe, accessible back-up before I replace it though. Right now I don't trust the Time Capsule.
Do at least your last backup via Ethernet.

Nokia Lumia 920 - Not connecting on MAC OSX 10.6.8

Hello everybody,
I have this problem that alot of people are encounting but it seems having no solutions yet.
I bought my Nokia Lumia 920 a couple days ago, made all the updates alvaible but still I can't connect my phone to my MacBook Pro.
The funny part is that my dropbox application on my mac detect my phone and tries to import my pictures where neither iTunes or Finder are able to recognize my Nokia.
The all support we got is to download a app which is not working for the OSX 10.6.8 and they seem to force us to upgrade to the 10.7 OSX.
It is my right, as a consummer, to choose to OS I want for my laptop and it is to both Windows and Nokia to make their devices compatible to their customers computers.
So here is my call to all Nokia and Windows developpers: Do not ignore us, there is a problem and the first step in order to solve it is to recognize this problem.
The least you can do is to tell us that you are currently working on it because I feel all alone in the dark but I am pretty sure I am not alone and you might loose some clients that are delighted with your phone but really "**bleep**" off the way that they are treated in the process of solving this important problem.
Thank you for your time and comprehension,
I am looking forward some advices from any developpers.
JyCey

I have to raise a different view point. Many users of macs are ordinary, non-techie people, who simply want a machine to do basic things. I know people with very old macs, and they are happily using them for simple purposes. I have 10.6.8, and any upgrade would cost me some money to upgrade parallels. Macs can run for years, and I believe that it is important for equipment to be able to be used for long periods of time, if the user wishes. Also, earlier OS are very commonly unsed in coutries where money and internet is not as available as to many of us.
I also use a mac with XP as I need a small install base for only one PC based software that I occasionally use.
As a developer, I would expect them to look at the actual installed back of OS, and realise that some simple functionality should be backward to existing users. The ability for a phone to connect to earlier OS is something which I did not even think about - I thought it would be automatic. Its also not that difficult to develop.
The forums are awash with frustrated new pruchasers of Lumia phones, suddenly realising that their expected functionality with PC Suite, etc has now gone. Many of those people are very frustrated, and they will pass on their frustrations to others, and sales will be affected.
I have been a Nokia user now for about six years, and I have watched the same frustrations of users, requesting Nolia to develop expected connection, integration, and sync software that other phone manufacturers seem to be able to do. Finally, a reasonable PC Suite version is now developed, but not compatible with Lumia?? Do we have to go through the whole waiting thing again? Why cannot Nokia look at this not as a software problem, but an expected functionality feature.

Since Mountain Lion Upgrade is my Internet connection very slow, Since Mountain Lion Upgrade is my Internet connection very slow

Why is Safari so slow after Mountain Lion upgrade?

I have a home Optimum wifi network with Boost connecting to an Airport, with a second Airport extending, and an Airport Express extending. I have a MacBook Pro, last year's model, two iMacs, a year old each, and an older iMac. (If necessary I can get all the models etc, but I just want to express the problem). The two new iMacs and MBP are running Mountain Lion. The older Lion.
Since upgrading to ML my connection speed both over the wifi and directly connecting to the router has dropped from 30-50 down and 5 up to between 1-4 down and 4 up. I have had the cable folks here to test lines. We've swapped out the modem with a new one. I bought a new netgear N600. Everything led to the same result.
Here's the odd part. When restarting the modem and plugging it directly into the powerbook, initial tests show 30-50 up and 5 down. But once you reconnect to wifi, lose speed, the re-connect directly to the modem the slowness persists directly connected to the modem.
So I start suspecting Mountain Lion. BUT the older iMac cannot be upgraded to Mountain and is still running Lion and has the same issue. The equipment is in the same place it's always been. We've added no electronics that would be interfering with signals.
Everyone is stumped and looking suspicously at the computer and OS. Please help. I'm beginning to hear the bing bong bing bong of dial up in my head.

Wireless N connection very slow

I was running my wireless router at home (internet through Comcast) in mixed mode (b/g/n), and noticed that my S3's download speed when on the wireless seemed very slow. I confirmed this using speedtest.net (the android app) and saw a very big difference between the S3 on the wireless router and my laptop. I tested my wife's laptop and S3 as well, with the same results. (The laptops consistently got 20Mbps down while the S3s both got around 1.8Mpbs down.) The 4g LTE speeds were incredible, but since I'm on a data cap now, I can't use that for the majority of what I want to do with the phone.
After some testing, I found that if I disabled N altogether on my router, our S3s connect and get the same speeds as our laptops. Now my router runs only in 2.4Ghz band, and I have not had a chance to test my N connection on a 5Ghz band. For whatever reason, the Verizon version of the S3 does not have a setting where you can tell the phone what band to connect to, but from what I've read it only connects at 2.4. I'm going to try some more testing to see if this is in fact the case or not.
Anywho, I'm now getting good download speeds connecting in mode G, but I'm kind of bummed that Verizon has (surprise surprise) limited the phone in this way. AT&T and Sprint customers I've talked to are able to connect to Wireless N, and though some of them have problems if the band is set in auto mode, if they specifically choose the band their router is running in, it works just fine. Don't get me wrong, I choose to be with Verizon and generally am happy with the service (losing unlimited data notwithstanding), but I just don't understand why they took away the ability to control the wireless connection in this way. Its doesn't make sense.

First of all, the speeds you are quoting all sound like Mbps (megabits per second) connection speeds, not data throughput speeds. You really need to measure your actual download speed to tell what is actually going on with your system.
Use speedtest.net and test your system. Turn off all other computers except the test computer. Test under the following conditions:
1) connect one computer, by wire, directly to your modem
2) connect the same computer, by wire, directly to your router
3) connect the same computer wireless to your router
4) connect your other computers, wirelessly to the router, one at a time
Also, state the speed that you are paying your ISP for.
Report your download and upload speeds for all of the above tests.
Note that the speed that you are paying for should be about the same as your results from test 1 and 2 above.
After you have done these tests, it will be much easier to tell where the problem is.

Facebook fix for slowness on wifi for iPhone 5S

Hello,
   While I was on hold for Apple Care I figured out why my iPhone was slow loading new posts from Facebook over Wifi. Locate in "Setting" the Facebook App. Find the "Facebook" App and tap to get to the Facebook "Settings" menu and tab to "Location" set to "While Using the App" plays an important factor in the speed of loading content. With Location set to "Never" it takes sometimes minutes to load new posts and with it on the speed loading is as fast as loading pages over cellular (4G).

Yes the pages load fine on data. But even games I have that use internet
don't always work right. But if I turn off the wif i. it works fine. I am
beginning to wonder if I made a mistake leaving sprint.

TimeCapsule 2.4ghz connection VERY slow

For the past several days, any connection to the 2.4Ghz radio on my TC is very slow. Speedtest.net shows .29Mbps download and .34Mbps upload (yes, note the decimal place!). If I switch over to the 5Ghz radio, my speeds increase to 16.03Mbps download and 4.19Mbps upload. Also, when connected to the 5Ghz radio, my laptop is showing a full 4 bars of strength, whereas when connect to 2.4 radio, I am only getting 1-2 bars from the same location.
The TC is connected to my Comcast cable modem - wired connections through the TC are getting 30+Mbps downloads.
I have tried restarting TC, restarting the cable modem, rebooting client machines...
Ideas? is my 2.4Ghz radio dying?

Chances are, your router is just fine and you are picking up some interference on the overcrowded 2.4 GHz band from a cordless phone, other neraby wireless network, or a wireless camera/security system.
I used to have intermittent slow downs and drop outs on my old 2.4 GHz router and never could figure out why. One day at my desk, by accident I noticed my neighbor coming out of his front door talking on his cordless phone wihen my wireless suddenly slowed. When he got to his mailbox on the street, the wireless was down to a crawl.
So, the source of the interference may not necessarily be in your home, although if you have any cordless phones, that would be the first thing to investigate. For more info on the epidemic problem of wireless interference, you might want to look over this document:

Lumia 920 cannot connect to London Underground Vir...

Hi there,
I have never been able to connect to Virgin WiFi in London Underground since I have had my Nokia Lumia 920 since December 2012 (it says "connecting..." for a while, then says that it could reach the network, altough the signal is strong). I used to be able to connect to that network without any problem on Windows Phone 7, using a Samsung Omnia 7 or a Nokia Lumia 800. This has been tested at different stations where Virgin WiFi is available.
OS version: 8.0.10211.204
Firmware revision number: 1232.5951.1249.1018
Note: I'm a an EE customer and I am register for free Virgin WiFi on London Underground. I do not think it's an operator related problem since I cannot even connect to the WiFi network.
Note 2: I have no problem connecting to my home or work wifi.

UPDATE: The mod's edited my post and unfortunately removed some of the explanation of why my connection to the tube wifi has been restored. I didn't mean to cause trouble, mods - sorry! Am I allowed to confirm that manually flashing the most recent 920 UK EE firmware has instantly restored my tube WiFi?
Hi,
Just thought I'd update, if anyone's interested.
Manually flashing the most recent 920 UK EE firmware has restored my tube WIFI connection - the phone connected instantly this morning when I selected Virgin Media. I do, however, seem to have lost the updated 'Storage Checker' option in the Settings menu that appeared with the original OTA update. Still, you win some, you lose some. I use the tube WIFI far more often so I'd rather have that.
It seems that, at least with my phone, every OTA firmware update renders me unable to connect to the tube WIFI. Manually flashing either the same firmware or a different version restores it, but comes with the tedious hassle of losing some settings.
I'll just have to see what happens with the PR2.0 update that's apparently coming in July...
Moderator's Note: This post was edited to remove references to an unauthorized software mentioned. Use of this may cause unforeseen damage to the phone.

Lumia 920 ongoing issues, very disappointed

Hi there, I am an owner of a Lumia 920 on Vodafone UK, i recieved this handset in Feb this year when it was available as an upgrade on my network.
I am very upset and disppointed with my handset...
I am experiencing the following issues;
Random reboots when phone is idle in my pocket or making/recieving calls
When making calls I get 'call dropped' and I get messages of friends saying they cant ring me so i have to turn the phone off and on again and then all good again.
I complained to Vodafone and they said send the phone off for repair, which I reluctantly did and they somehow deduced the screen was faulty and said that was replaced and had an 'internal service' and a full firmware reflash/update..
I revieved the phone back within 3 days which I was pretty chuffed about.
Since ive had it back, which is now just going on 7 days it has rebooted again once on its own and now I have a flickering screen... I have googled this and turned off the auto brightness and I still have a flickering screen.
As I am in a 24 month contract and its been over 14 days since I had the upgrade I am pretty much stuck with this phone now.. Am I within my right to ask Vodafone to replace the phone completely or do I have to put up with sending it for repair every week?? I am even considering making such a fuss they will let me even choose another phone completely as im sick of this Lumia!

I did go in to the local vodafone store where I sent the phone back and asked about a replacement sim card and all I got was 'nah the sim card cant cause it to reboot, all it contains is the network info etc' or something along those lines... I did read somewhere that a sim card can cause issues and since you have mentioned this as well now I think they may have fobbed me off.. ill go in again today and say Nokia them selfes have asked me to try a new sim and see what they say...

Lumia 920 Facebook connection very slow over WiFi ...
