Problems with 8220 WiFi and battery

I'm not sure if these 2 problems are related. I've had a 8220 for 11 months and notice my battery life has really deteriorated the last few days. at the same time accessing WiFi from my phone is not as reliable. I know there is no problem with my Wifi as I have no problem accessing it from my laptop from the same connection.
Is this problem related to my battery? or are there other ways to improve WiFi connections from my 8220.
thanks

I had exactly the same problem with WiFi calls (see my old posts on dropped calls). I tested my phone in another WiFi location (in a coffee shop) and didn't have problems. Even though my computer recognized the signal, my phone dropped the calls. I changed my router and verified that all phones jacks (except the router) were using DSL filters. Since then, the problem disappeared (except when I synch music).
When outside, the phone will periodically drop calls moving between WiFi and edge networks. However, I usually turn off the WiFi network anyway to conserve batteries. While at home, the WiFi connection is more reliable if I turn off the edge network so the phone stays on WiFi and doesn't look for another network. By default, I set my preferences to WiFi at home, so even if I forget to turn off the edge network, it still looks for WiFi.

Problem with fan, temperature and battery after the restore from the stop (Macbook pro 15)

From a couple of weeks my macbook pro (15" 2.4 Ghz i7 4gb OS X 10.7.4) has this problem: when i close the screen it goes to stop and when i open it goes out the stop normaly but the fan and the temperature increase and the battery last nothing. So i reboot the mac and everithings go to normal way and also battery time increase in comparison with before...

I've found that samsung kies wifi started at the login and that the app used 91% of my cpu and filled up my ram so i went to: system preference > users and groups > login's elements > and i deleted the app from the list.

Problem with fan noise and battery on g510

I bought an new lenovo g510 ( core i5 4200m and amd r5-m230 ) from 3 days
and notice that fan has a noise most of the time and when i check the battery wear level on hwmonitor it is has 1 % wear level so why i got these problem and my laptop is bought from just 3 days !!!!!!

Hey. Really sorry for late answer. i got same model (but i7 , r7 m265 )
For the fan noise ; check out gpu and cpu temperatures . clean the fan dust with power manager program. and update drivers.
for the battery , %1 wear is nothing . only affects 1-2 mins . battery has internal smbus battery fuel gauge and it automatically calibrates battery full charge capacity. but you can manual calibrate fcc with power manager. we are very lucky because on some hp ,samsung etc laptops , battery comes with %10 wearage (like my old laptop).
you post this message 6 months ago. if your battery wear is >%15 now , send battery to service. they will replace a new battery. if battery wear <%10 , your battery is normal

Having a problem with the WiFI and the touch

Hi guys
First of all, I´d like to say that Im kinda an Apple rookie - this is my first ever Apple product ever, so I my knowledge is somewhere really low...
well, here goes... Happily i bought my new iPod in january stoked about all the cool features such as wifi, videos and so on. So there I was in a really good mood when I first got it up and running and found my 1st hotspot. (I had also bought the january software upgrade for mail and stuff) So then I tried loading a page in Safari and it gives me the message "Server cannot be found" - or something like that, you know - oh well I think, and try to open one of the other programs, but neither of those works... And yeah, Ive tried several networks but same results no matter where.
So, folks, do you have any idea of what could help me? Any help is appreciated!
by the way, in these months im housed in Ecuador - if that changes anything.
Thanks

Sometimes shutting the ipod down and restarting within the Wi-Fi hotspot works. (holding the on/off button for 5 seconds...)
Other times, i have found I had to go into the network settings on the ipod and toggle the DHCP settings a few times, or telling it to "Forget This Network" which will allow it to try to re-address itself on the network.
There are also some Wi-Fi hotspots that have wireless routers that are not so Mac-friendly... these will sometimes not provide an automatic IP address and must be manually changed to a static IP. If you can look at somebody else's laptop IP settings, usually you can manually configure the iPod touch to work with a fixed IP address that is a similar range to the laptops....
hope this helps.

Hello, I have a problem with my iphone 4 battery, it looses 20% over the night with wifi on and without receiving any phone call or notification. It also uses 1 or 2% each time I check my iphone even if it is just to check up my messages. Is it normal?

Yes this is fairly normal. When you have wifi on the phone, it drains the battery life of the device.
Here is an article that has some tips that you can follow so you can modify the settings on your device to extend it's battery life to the fullest.

If Join was on then your home wi-fi must be set to Non-Broadcast. If you did not set this up (maybe your provider did) then you will need to find the Network Name they used, and any password they used. The SSID is Security Set ID and to see more try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSID . Basically it is the name used to identify your router/network. A lot of times the installer will leave it set as LinkSys, or Broadcom or whatever the manufacturer set it as for default. Your best bet is to get whoever installed it to walk you through how they set it up, giving you id's and passwords so you can get in. HOWEVER, if you are not comfortable with this (if you set security wrong, etc.) you would be well ahead of the game to hire a local computer tech (networking) to get this working for you. You can also contact the vendor of your router and get help (if it is still in warranty), or at least get copies of the manuals as pdf files. Sorry I can't give you more help, I hope this gives you an idea where to go from here to find more.

I am having problems with the wifi connection on my ipad 4th generation only 3 weeks old. Have left it back to the shop i bought it in and they said they have to send it away now i am left with no ipad. What after sales support do you give really?

Does anyone else have problems with the wifi connection on their 4th generation Mine keeps going off line and its only 3 weeks old.I had the ipad mini and this problem never existed. I brought it back to the shop where i bought it Expert Laois last week and they said they couldnt find a problem but had to take it back today as it keeps disconneting from wifi still, anyway they are sending it back for repair and it am left with no ipad. After spending in excess of 700e i feel that this is really bad after sales service. I bought something that i want to use now and cant so what a waste of money it is .

Thankyou, but the shop said that they spoken to apple and that they have now changed their policy and that they do not give a replacement. So are you telling me that their information is false. Also what should they have done. This problem has existed since i bought it.????? What should i do?????

My iphone 5 does not remember the password of my home network. Well this is ot the case with my ipad. The wifi gets disconnected every 2 minutes. Its not any problem with my wifi router as my ipad and other devices work fine. So how do i fix this problem?

Well my iphone 5 does not remember my home network. This is not a problem with the wifi router as the ipad works absolutely fine. The wifi loses it connection in just 2 minutes. So could you please fix this problem.

Not unless the modem is causing a problem.
What you want to do is get it to work reliably over Ethernet first, then tackle wifi. Power off the modem. On your macbook, delete the Ethernet configuration and the Wifi configuration. Power up the modem, then connect the mac via Ethernet. Create the new Ethernet configuration and see if you can connect.

My apple Tv will not airplay, this is the 3rd one i have exchanged and my devices airplay just fine elsewhere, could there be a problem with the wifi even though all of the other functions are working fine?

I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board.

I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board. How much will a new battery and motherboard cost and would it be worth it or should I just get a new computer. It was about 300 dollars to get it serviced last week. if it adds up to much past 600 dollars I will just get a new one. THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
P.S During classes today it began beeping in my bag. Like three kind of long steady beeps then a short pause, and when I opened it I couldn't see anything but it was on so I turned it off and back on.

Depends on what options your Apple store offers - if they can do a depot repair (where they send it out), that's around $300 for all parts & labor.
If the store doesn't have that option, a logicboard is around $600, battery $80-$100, from what I've seen.
If they JUST replaced the logicboard, you absolutely should NOT have to pay for another replacement - the replacement is covered by a warranty. If they want you to pay for it, make sure you have a copy of the receipt for the work that was recently completed so you can show it to them. They have no reason to charge you for another logicboard.

If nothing works, you most likely have a hardware issue.

I just bought an iphone4 and is connected to my wifi at home but I can't bring anything up in the app store, itunes, etc. My husband has a droid 2 and he has no problems with the wifi? Any ideas?

If you look at the top left of your screen you will either see a 3G (or 4G if you have AT&T) or you will see the wi-fi symbol. If you don't see the wi-fi symbol you are connecting to Gmail through your cellular data plan, not via wi-fi.
To answer your question, it doesn't happen often but when it does the steps I mentioned above will normally resolve it. Hopefully you won't have any further problem with this.
