Upgrade to 6D from7d - flash& wifi issues - worth upgrade?

Dear Friends,
At present I have the following for about 2 years:
7d
canon EF-S 15-85mm
canon EF 24-105mm L
canon EF 35 mm f2
and Blackberry 9900
I am considering to sell 7d & EF-S lense for 6d and use L lense with the new body.
The main purpose is general usages, and also for work, indoors, outdoors, travelling and family photos.
others features aside, only 2 matters remain: WIFI & Built-in flash.
1.
can I transfer photos from 6D directly over wifi to Blackberry?
Does it work well?
or, Alternatively, shall I buy Wireless Transmitter WFT-E5A for 7d instead? does this work with BB?
with 7d, after taking photos at work or leisure, I am "forced" to go back to laptop, plug cables,
and send via BB to customers/ friends. If 6D can do this wirelessly, it will be ONE of my big upgrading point.
please help on this matter.
2.
I use 7d built-in flash like 90% just for fill-in flash during the day, high contrast areas or at night for lighting up the subjects. 6d has none (and I am not considering buying any speedlites yet)
Will I still be able to achieve good photos with 6d?
Can 6d handle high contrast area without the fill-in flash?
thank you so much on your inputs in these 2 matters.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The wireless apps is for android and ios only. I do not know if the wft-e5a will work or not.
Nothing can replace fill flash. Without fill flash you will have to over expose the ambient in order to fill the shadow.
If those two are your reason to update then it is not worth it.

WiFi issue after 6.1.2 upgrade

I upgraded my OS to 6.1.2 and now I'm having troubles connecting to the internet at work. I did reset my network settings and inputted the appropriate password and still having issues. It identifies the network but when open safari or an app requiring internet connection it goes nowhere. Is anyone else having this issue. Does anyone know how to fix this problem. Keep in mind my connection works fine at home.

U410 touch WiFi issues after upgrading to windows 8.1

Hi all,
I have a U410 touch and yesterday I upgraded to windows 8.1
I have major WiFi issues.
connection drops after a few minutes giving limited. troblesshooting resets the adapter saying ''the default gateway is not accessible '' is fixed. But after a few minutes the problem comes back. and it goes like this forever.
I have the Intel Centrino N-2230 and I installed the driver I found here (15.10.3.2).
I''ve tried to uncheck the power management option but the problem is still there.
I also have other issues with the dolby system (I see others have the same problem )and my touch screen is not working.
any help will be greatly appreciated
thanks!

Hi-
I am also running into the same issue with my Lenovo U410 and it is really frustrating. I also have Centrino Wireless chip with driver version 15.10.3.2 and I have windows 8.1
I bought the laptop from Costco and was having similar issues. I sent it back to Costco Concierge who apparently replaced the wireless chipset on this laptop but now I am getting this issue.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Wifi issues after upgrading from Maverick to Yosemite. No solutions have worked.

I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 from Mavericks. Having wifi issue where I can't connect to my home network. It connects for 5 seconds than I get "no IP address", and then the connection drops. A free local wifi connection does work. Any ideas until this issue is fixed by Apple? My home router worked fine in Maverick. I tried all the online suggestions but nothing has worked. Have not downgraded yet to Maverick but thinking about it.

Intermittent WiFi issue following Windows 10 upgrade

My acer Aspire V3-571 has been intermittently losing WiFi for past 2 days since Windows 10 upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium.The Aspire has:Atheros wireless network adapter AR5BWB222 10.0.0.38 Wed. 2/15/12 So far, I have:1. In the Atheros AR5BWB222 Wireless Network Adapter Properties,I unchecked the box in the Property Management tab which read Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power. 1b. Made sure airplane mode was in off position.
1c. Forget exactly where I did this, but made sure settings in another ? location were set at "Maximum Performance."
2. Checked that firmware is up to date on my network router, with security set to WPA 2-PSK (AES).
3. Searched through many forums to read responses of folks upgrading to Windows 10 with WiFi issues--seems this is widespread problem, though no one has said WiFi signal loss was intermittent, as is my laptop's. Internet hits for my searches also show WiFi issues occurred in the past for installs of Windows 8. (So far have not come across mentions of WiFi issues for past installs of Windows 7).
4. While exploring my laptop, I came across a page of Microsoft Updates--SEE ATTACHED. I was surprised to note that these updates are released quite frequently over the course of a day. For example 10 separate updates between 4:24 PM and 11:30 PM on Aug 1 and 18 separate updates between 12:06 AM and 3:57 PM on Aug 2. Am including part of the record of updates for August 1 and August 2. I am aware that Microsoft uses my WiFi to AUTOMATICALLY download updates. Is it possible that this intermittent download of updates cause the intermittent interruptions of the WiFi??
5. This afternoon, when the WiFi was not working for Windows 10. I reinstalled as a dual boot, Ubuntu 14.04. I had no difficulty connecting to WiFi from Ubuntu.
Have not yet:
1. I have not yet tried connecting the laptop via Ethernet cable to my router during one of these WiFi outages.
2. My ISP is a VOIP/Internet setup, using one Westell and one Cisco router. I have not considered if they might be a cause of the problem.
3. I read on one forum that someone fixed their WiFi connection issue by changing their router security setting to include TKIP NOTE: I may need to put attachment of screen grab of Windows 10 updates in a separate email reply to this post as this post is not accepting the attachment.
Would appreciate any comments or suggestions. Thanks in advance.
I shall likely also put this out on a Windows 10 forum elsewhere.

Did you try clicking on the "free download required" link in the link below? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/ProductDetailsViewer?Name=Qualcomm+Atheros+AR5BWB222+Wireless+Network+Adapter&vendor=Qualcomm+Atheros&Type=Hardware

HP Stream 7 WiFi issues following a sucessful Upgrade to Windows 10

HP Stream 5701....Upgraded to Windows 10...Upgrade went fine. WiFi drops frequently making this device almost useless....its dropping almost every 45 seconds...I connect it to Home Network...it disconnects in about 45 seconds and this cycle keeps repeating. Went to Device Mgr, Network Adapters.....drivers...checked for Updated driver, came back Windows determined latest driver is installed. I know this is an issue with Windows10 and the Streams Network Adapter because I have a smartphone connected to my Home Network and it never drops the wireless connection. Hopefully someone has the answer....and fix. What I find imaging is, the Stram maintained an wireless connection during the time it was downloading the Upgrade to Windows 10 Home, that took at lwast 15 to 20 minutes and now I cannot maintain a WiFi connection for more than 30 to 45 secs. Tried to run Windows Update...unable to complete because WiFi Connection drops.....I'll not be able to get any Updates if this keeps up.

These Forums are great....lots of good helpful information is exchnaged, but, words can be read with others taking offence when that was never the intention of the writer. Sorry you took my words that way because that was the furtherest of my intention. I downloaded the driver for the tablet that was listed under Windows 10 for the Stream 7 and after the install I looked at Device manager and simply reported the version I saw. So you got the Driver 3008.14.0701.2015 from a site other than HP.com..... If I recall, and don't take offense, it was a site in Europe but it was a HP site????? Or was it a 3rd party site....because I only know hp.com to find and download hp drivers. So, what is the site you went to to download 3008.14.0701.2015? I had to be impatient because my Tablet was totally unusable....holding WiFi at best only 30 to 45 secs.....then connected, sometimes, then dropped again. HP Tech Support actually reached back out at me after doing a Chat....by Phone. The experience with HP in this matter has been great.....they sent out a Repl, it acted the same way after the Upgrade....and I tried the driver from their Driver support page shown under Windows 10 Drivers SP72188....and it did not resolve the WiFi issue. HP has advised they are aware of the issue and have been intouch with Microsoft and the Support Specalist suggested I rollback so 1) the Tablet could be usable and 2) I didn't go beyond the 30 day roll back period. So again, you took my words as questioning yours, and that was never my intention...it is not who I am. I for one appreciate any advice provided...I was merely stating what I saw after I installed the Win10 Network driver. I can report, with Win8.1 the Stream is holding WiFi....with the exception sometimes coming out of sleep I must re-connect....and the plan for resolution is that HP will be contacting me in about 2 weeks with Updates on progress of resolving my issue.

Iphone 5s have wifi issue after upgraded to ios8.

Iphone 5S have wifi issue afetr upgraded to IOS 8. Does Apple know about this?? Its really frustrating the signal is weak.

luckymacguy wrote:
If you look at google there are some problems with ios8 and it happens to be wifi issue for me.
If I look at google, I will find that people reporting problems with every version of iOS. And accounts of being abducted by aliens. Just because you are having a WiFi issue does not necessarily mean the issue is with iOS 8 (correlation does not prove causality). Until you've done proper trouble shooting (or had Apple do it for you if you don't feel equipped), it's almost impossible to say why you are having a problem.
My iPhone 5S is not having any issues with iOS 8.

Is Apple aware of the Wifi issue with the IOS8 upgrade?

Is Apple aware of the WiFi issue with the IOS8 update? If so, what are the doing about it?

Ipad, wifi stops working and I have to restart my iPad and log in again. It only stays logged into my wifi for a short while then it drops it again. I followed instructions from other threads to reset my IPad and my router...still having issues. The same thing happened the last time I updated my IOS.

Yoga 11S WiFi issues

Hi all,
As with many I am experiencing severe Wifi issues with new Yoga 11s. I will try to explain in detail in the hope that someone who better understands how wifi really works might be able to help diagnose.
I have a Talktalk badged Huawei HG533 router. This delivers c.15Mbs reliably all around my house (2xTVs, computers up and downstairs, 2xphones). Using Speedtest.net to capture speeds.
With the Yoga, if I sit right next to the router (as I am now), I get 15Mbs. In other parts of the house I get just 0.5Mb, including rooms where other devices are measured at 15. I have updated drivers and upgraded to W8.1 though I experienced exactly the same problem before the upgrade.
I have tested every room and it seems that it will either work at very close to the maximum (in a few rooms) or drops off catastrophically to 0.5mb or less. There is no in between. I never lose connection altogether. There seems no correalation between the level of signal displayed (4 or 5 bars) and the speed.The 'good' rooms are separated by fewer walls.
I have also observed that on occasion having tested in a good room and then moving to one of the bad rooms it initially shows good performance, before seemingly recognising where it is and throttling back to unusable.
It is as though once it gets to a certain distance/separation/signal strength it somehow 'jams' the signal.
I really neeed to find a solution to this as 1. my office is one of the bad rooms and 2. I am often in hotels, airports etc and need reliable internet even in poor signal areas. Any help much appreciated.

Hey everyone, I just registered here and I couldn't find a solution. Apologies if this has been covered already.
I received the Yoga 11s i5 as part of an internship and after keeping the package under wraps for a month or two, I decided to give it a go and start using it instead of my Microsoft Surface. Everything works smooth and I love it to bits - except for the WiFi.
I was able to connect a few times, but for the most part it just doesn't work. The WiFi icon in the bottom right corner displays the adapter icon with a little red x, and the Windows troubleshooter is unable to find a solution. I'm really not sure what the problem is because, so far, my connectivity problem is entirely random - several times, I was able to connect and use the WiFi regularly only to be greeted with the same problem next time I start using the computer. The troubleshooter once displayed an error message amongst the lines of "The network adapter is experiencing hardware/software difficulties".
I don't know if it is worth mentioning that I live on a college campus with a dodgy wifi connection, but every other device I ever used is working properly. Any suggestions? Only thing I did try so far is refreshing the system and reinstalling Windows but, to no avail.
Thanks in advance!

Help Understanding Loss Of WiFi Issue

Hello,
I am running into a stange issue. I am trying to help my neighbors with a wiFi issue. They have a cable modem BEFSR41 v3 and a WRT54GX4. Everytime there is a power surge or outage, they loose internet and have to usually reboot both modems. The BEFSR41 is the DHCP, I have the DHCP turned off on the WRT54GX4. This time the BEF** kept the internet going and the WRT** lost the internet and we had to reboot it to get connection again??
I never loose internet after a surge or power outage when it returns. I am using the same BEFSR41 v2 and a ONQ WL-330gw wireless access point. I never have to reboot, internet always comes back after outage.
I am lost on trying to figure out the issue for reboot at my neighbors when I do not have to at my house? Could their cable modem be bad?
Thanks JR

Try to upgrade/re-flash the firmware on your router.
Connect the computer with the Ethernet cable to the router.
Download the latest firmware from Linksys website and save it on your computer. Open the setup page of the router. Click on Administration tab and go to Firmware upgrade sub tab. Browse the firmware file that you have already downloaded and upgrade it on your router.
After upgrading the firmware on the router, it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure it. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure it.
Also try to change some advanced wireless settings on the router. Click on Wireless tab and go to Advanced wireless settings. Change the Beacon interval to 75, RTS threshold to 2307 and fragmentation threshold to 2306. Save the settings.

Wifi issues with iphone not responding

Phone: iPhone 4s.
This issue started approximately two weeks ago. My phone initially started with the Wifi connection greyed out, I followed the appropriate steps to resolve this issue, and was successful. Now I can turn the wifi connection on without problems, but my iPhone will freeze (delay), then return me to my homescreen. Occasionally I do automatically connect to my known wifi, but then will disconnect and return to 3G. If I make an attempt to go to settings to manually reconnect, the phone again freezes. The phone seems to freeze after I click settings, then when pressing Wi-Fi, the bar turns dark bold, but freezes and doesn't open. I then have to click my home button, return to the main menu. Also if I open an app during the seldom opportunity my phone is connected to wifi, the phone will disconnect, return to 3G and freeze. I have rebooted my routers, forgot networks, reset network settings. I have thought about resetting the entire phone, but my phone will not stay connected to wifi long enough for me to back up my data to iCloud. I am thinking of stopping into my local verizon store, but I think they will redirect me to an apple store; which is 35 miles away. Of course the problem with me not connecting to Wi-Fi is my increased use of data. Now I am over 75% for my monthly usage with 2 weeks remaining, and do not see justification in possibly having to pay the overage fee. Many times when my phone freezes due to these wifi issues, or will not respond, I have to do the manual power/home reset. In conclusion, I need to figure out how to maintain my connection to Wi-fi, and stop my phone from not responding when I open my wifi settings. Thanks in advance!

My Iphone 4S is doing the same thing.. All of a sudden the WIFI button is gray and not working. I chatted online with a Rep. He had me call *228 and hit option 1, then call again and hit option 2. All of a sudden the WIFI button was black. But it could not find any network. I shut it off and restarted it and now button gray again. I called that number again and still gray. I read somewhere else that a lot of people have a problem with the WIFI button. They say it basically just stops working. This was a replacement phone because the volume stopped working on my original phone. I assume they gave me a refurbished one because it didn't seem new. I'm due an upgrade in 3 months. I'm disabled and just hate driving to the store again. I wish there was an easier way.

For all those out there with Iphone5 WIFI issues,Please READ THIS

I pre-ordered my iphone 5 (Black) got that last week. Quickly backed up my Iphone 4 and Restored my iphone 5.The first thing i checked to see is connecting to my WIFI network at home. And i kept getting a message "UNABLE TO CONNECT TO THE NETWORK". I had the iphone 4 aside and i can see iphone 4 is connected just fine. So are my laptop, Ipad and other devices.
So what is different in Iphone5?
After couple of days of head banging, and phone calls with apple support. I finally gave up and went to a apple store , they said, They have not heard any WIFI issues and my case was the first , However to keep me happy they said they will replace my device, But if have the same issue ,they will NOT be able to replace it again. And they even showed me the new iphoen connects to their "Non-secured" apple WIFI network.
So i take the new phone home, and the first thing i try is connecting to WIFI.And i still get "Unable to connect to the wifi network ".And i still can see Iphone 4 working fine and connecting to the same network just fine. With the second iphone5 also not working, I realized it is not hardware, but something surely changed with WIFI in iphone 5. I have a NETGEAR router with its latest firmware installed(2.0.26). I then downgraded my firmware to 2.0.21, then gave a shot.
BINGO..Iphone 5 works fine connects to wifi.and so is my iphone4 too.
So for all those users out there, the fact is something changed in iphone 5 WIFI algorithm. And if anyone really disagrees with me on this, I am going to post a video to demonstrate on YOUTUBE. I believe it is completely UNFAIR for apple to now ask you Upgrade/change your router or its firmware. And it is not fair for router companies to Fix anything to make their firmware compatible with iphone5.
So iphone 5 Users, Please lets us all push for a fix on this issue. WE WANT FIX.

I can't tell you how frustrated/disappointed I was when this exact situation happened to me. I upgraded my wife's iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5 just to find out that it wouldn't connect to my home wifi but would connect everywhere else. Guess what...
I found a fix!!
On you iPhone go to Settings, General, About, scroll to "WiFi Address". Now stay there.
Log-in to your modem thru your web browser via IP Address. (Keep in mind, I use a 2Wire modem, yours may be different) Clicked "Wireless" for wireless settings, scrolled down to "MAC Filtering" and clicked "Edit Allowed/Blocked Device List". At the bottom, there's a field to which you can manually enter a MAC address to you allow or block. If you're using a different modem with different menus/options, just browse around til you find a similar option of manually adding MAC addresses for access or blocking.
MAC Address = Wifi Address. See where i'm going with this?
Type the WiFi Address from you iPhone in the MAC address field, click "Add to List". If MAC filtering is enabled, it'll be added to the BLOCK list, simply click on the address, and click the double arrow pointing towards the ALLOW list so it'll transfer lists to where you want it, then click save.
Now go back to your iPhone and attempt to re-connect to your wifi network as you normally would & voila!
This worked for me, i hope it works for you as well.

Mac mini wifi issues

Had my Ipad mini for about a week. At first, the internet connection over my Airport/time capsule( which I bought a couple months ago, so it should be the newest generation) appeared to be fine although, I noticed that the signal bar was always a single to double bar (if that's how it is called). Now, from time to time it even fails to connect.
I am now in my living room in front of my mac mini set, which is itself connected to the internet over Airport/time capsule. The Airport is about 20 meters (abt 65 ft) away. The Wifi signal of my mac mini shows full capacity. My Ipad mini signal bar...it just says" iPad". While (when) connected I also have issues with iPad's ITune Wi-Fi sync. Connected by cable, checked the sync over wifi, removed the cable and Ipad disappeared from the Itune screen. I reset the Ipad, connected and did the whole procedure with Itunes and the iPad icon sticked to the itunes screen for a while but after about an hour disappeared again.
Now the ipad won't even connect.
When this thing works, it is a wonderful item. When it doesn't, it is a source of frustration. Can anyone help to solve this connection problem (resetting won't work) ?
thank you.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Brand New iPad Mini WiFi ISSUES

So I bought my iPad Mini 32gb a week ago and I've been using it eversince with my house's wifi. I recently updated it to iOS 6.1.3 and a couple of days after I started having WiFi issues. So I connect to my wifi and use it as usual, but after 5 minutes of using it the internet stops working eventhough it still shows the 3 bars of internet on the top left corner next to iPad. To fix this I have to turn off my iPad every time. I am trying to see if there is a solution or if I will have to send it to the apple repair center or change it for a new one for 40 bucks. I really need internet on it so please help. ( IT IS URGENT.)

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Ios 6.1.2 wifi issues

I am using iphone 4s for about 14 months now. i have never faced wifi issues before updating to ios 6.1.2. But now i am not staying connected to wifi for long time. I dont know whether i m alone in this world to face such an issue. Please help fix this issue to the earliest.
It's very disappointing to know that apple is ignoring such issues from its customers & even rolling back to back new software versions without even checking it to the fullest. And on top of that the apple customer care people are saying its a hardware problem. I think they are ignoring the fact of software issues with ios 6.1.2. especially with WIFI.
Please reply if anybody face such issues.and possible solution for it.

I've been having the same wifi dropouts on ios 6.1.2. I never have had this issue before, and it is very frustrating. It makes me wish I had never upgraded. I am not having this issue with my other wifi devices (PCs, Macs, Android phones, Roku, Wii, Apple TV), so I know it is not a router issue. Is Apple working on a fix?
One hard lesson that I learned is that I will never rush into any future ios updates again. I have tried all of the fixes that I could find online to no avail :-(
Oh, excuse me. I was just prompted again to rejoin my dropped wifi connection.

Upgrade to 6D from7d - flash& wifi issues - worth upgrade?
