Anyone noticed weaker range for your nexus one with FRF91? I used to be able to pick up my Wifi router everytime I come to the drive way now I can't after the update. Does the new radio affect wifi too?

He said Nexus One..not iPhone.
Yeah, I have noticed that I have a harder time connecting to networks when I don't have a very strong signal (when I am not very close to the access point). Seems worse than before. And worse than my G1.
Its a small price to pay for the overall awesome update, but In my house I only get 3 bars. Up until 91 I could get the full 4 bars. Its definitely worse for me.
I've been with android since the g1, and every firmware update has been 3 steps forward and 1 step back. But hell that's still a net gain so I'm happy. Now if the next firmware update drops me to 2 bars right next to my router....
im with you on this one. My router is on the main floor and when im next to it i get the 2 and on occasion 3 bar symbol. Go upstairs and my bars drop to 1 bar firm! I did just come off of the 85b and nothing was different then either. Maybe its time for a new router. Im gonna buy an up to date router and see if its different. Is yours possibly old?
Well this is a universal problem, with my hosp wifi network as well as my home and my gf. So yeah... oh well, I am still happy but still boosting the Wifi range might be good.
I think I am official AA - Apple Anonymous member as of today. Specifically I'm referring to the iPhone 5.
The most important thing to me with my smartphone is downloading podcasts over WiFi and playing them back. I have experience with a very good Android app that I've used in the past -- called Doggcatcher. So I don't need help finding an app - subscribing to feeds, etc etc.
Since February I bought and returned the iPhone 5 -- 4 times. I know I know, its probably 3 more chances than you would have given them. All of the models were essentially plagued by the same issue. Poor wifi performance with large files. I regularly download at least a couple 30 to 50 MB podcast episodes via WiFi on a daily basis.
First I thought it was a DNS server issue. Some people claimed this was an issue with the "5". So I went back to my ISP DNS. Nope. All the other devices in my home on the same network had no issues DL'ing my podcasts on my fast 20 mbps connection. iPhone -- choke choke choke. 30% done and choke.
So I want to know from you Nexus 4 users -- do you ever have hiccups on WiFi when you are downloading on a solid connection or is is really good performance? For those of you with a technical background -- do you think the Nexus 4 has a better WiFi antenna than the iPhone 5? Something has to be wrong here and since I experienced this on 3 of the 4 phones I returned -- I don't think its me.
I've personally never had a problem downloading large files. Only thing I noticed is that dl speed slows down a bit if the screen goes off, but it doesn't lose the connection or anything & speeds back up as soon as you turn the screen back on. What I usually do if its a large file and I wanna DL it fast is I plug my phone into the charger and turn on the option to stay awake while charging in development settings.

The WiFi issue you were having on your iPhone 5 was caused not by the phone hardware but rather the software, iOS 6.
The nexus 4 also suffers from poor WiFi reception, also caused by the software.

so if after calling and texting -- downloading large files over wifi are the most important thing to me (podcasts) -- which Android would you recommend for me. Seems like you are leaning against the Nexus 4. Note 2 ??
I have been able to download 300 MB mp4 H.264 movies over 802.11N WiFi without issue.
Settings > W-iFi > Advanced > Wi-Fi optimization (deselect this)
This option (on by default) will cause WiFi to drop to slower connection speeds when screen is locked to conserve battery life.
There is an ARP issue, which once your phone screen locks, it will stop responding to ARP requests.
Ping your phone LAN IP after it sleeps to see what I mean. It's a knows issue on N4's
With 802.11N 2.4 GHz (65 MBs) WPA2 and AES. I max out around 25 MBs, about the same as my 802.11G (54 MBs) laptop.
WiFi range is much better than any previous Android device, and a little better than the work iPhone 4 and Blackberry's I have had.
ok don't laugh, but yes I still own a blackberry playbook. I recently bought a Nexus 4 and much to my displeasure I can barely get any connection at all when I try to connect the Playbook to my Nexus 4 portable hotspot. It's slow, connection constantly hangs, and more than half of the websites I try to connect to time-out. I'm so frustrated right now because even my crappy old Atrix 4g's hotspot worked twice as fast as this. The playbook connects fine with everything else BUT my nexus 4. Help?
How is the signal strength to begin with?

no problems, about -80 dBm
Don't feel bad. I had a Playbook for a while. It was a nice piece of hardware. Ran fast and smooth. Not having any apps killed it for me.
Good luck with your tethering. Have you tried to tether anything else and see what speed it was receiving? Could it be a problem on your Playbook and not your Nexus?

I've connected my Playbook to various hotpots which were fine. When it tethers to my N4 though over half of the websites I try to load do not even load at all. Which is really bad since it would work with my older Atrix 4G's hot spot better than this phone. It's not completely broken, it's just really horrible.
I just tested my N4 hotspot with my old phone and the phone had little trouble keeping a good connection to it. The playbook works fine on standard PC wifi routers so it seems that the Playbook wifi antenna hardware simply sucks at picking up the Nexus 4 hotspot signal. I was planning to tough it out on this Playbook until the next Nexus Tablets get released so I hope they come soon!
no slowness in tethering my n7 to my n4 wirelessly. i get as fast of tethering speeds as i do hspa+/lte speeds.
No issues tethering to my tablet... I didn't notice a speed difference between my old Atrix in terms of hotspot speed when I upgraded to my Nexus 4. It probably has to do with the WiFi channel the Nexus 4 broadcasts in not being fully supported on the Playbook, or something like that

I think that's the cause as well. The Atrix 4G and Playbook were pretty close to each other in release dates so that's probably why I had easier compatibility using those two together
Just out of curiosity, try changing Security in "Set up Wi-Fi hotspot" to open and re-test.
I had an old Netgear card that had speed issues with WPA2 & AES, but was file on WPA & TKIP.
Worth a shot.
My phone tethers just fine!

Hello,
I purchased one of the Woot refurbished Nexus 10's and just received a few days ago. It looked spanking brand new/never touched when taking out of the box. Was on 4.2 so OTA updated to 4.3, then 4.4. Not rooted.
One of the main reasons I purchased it was to stream netflix and amazon prime. I was able to get amazon prime working with Dolphin browser and the flash hack, but both constantly stop/lag when trying to stream a movie (amazon with message 'loading video', neflix with 'buffering').
I'm on wireless N network with 5 bars through the house on everything except for the Nexus, which only shows 2 bars. No issues streaming netflix/amazon through laptop or roku. Even when I take the N10 right next to the router where it will then move to 5 bars, I still can't stream successfully.
I've put the MAC address on high QOS, and also cleared the cache partition. Anyone have any other suggestions of what I could try? Or does this sound like a defective unit?
I appreciate your help!
Why don't you try using the apps. There's a Netflix app and an amazon app. You. Won't need any hacks to get them working and I use the Netflix one just fine on mine.

I did download the Amazon tablet app but couldn't find where you could watch Amazon prime, only shop?
I am using the Netflix android app, and it constantly says buffering with streaming.

So I'd suggest three approaches:
Try initially a Wifi booster app. My N7 gets a weaker wifi than my N4, both in terms of bars and Mbit connection. I had to use a N7 Wifi booster. The one I tried was Internet Speed Master https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nezdroid.internetspeedmaster
Do a stock flash. WUGS to 4.4, to clear out any 4.2.2--->4.3--->4.4 sedimentary layers, assuming you're comfortable with flashing stock rather than OTA updates?
My N7 Wifi woes I had to tweak my router to finally fix, which I changed from "auto" band and auto channel width, to using the tablet's own Wifi, the Wifi analyser app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer , to find which band was least congested and then I manually made it that band and manually made it 20mhz, then my speed went up by a factor of 5 !
Collectively, I can't tell you which of all 3 ideas was the "killer" one but I tried all 3 and Hulu on my N7 got progressively better. The most intrusive of the above is the middle one, so try say 3 then say 1 then finally 2.
I'd also appreciate feedback on progress as if this is a problem with N10 I'll be in your same shoes middle of the week when Woot's chosen idiotic postal service finally delivers.

Yeah, I bought mine on 24th, was fretting because it was in shipping status for three days and then was delivered USPS Friday (I'm in FL). Saturday I received an email from Woot saying it was shipped....

Ditto, ditto, not ditto, ditto, my email on Saturday showed a future Tuesday delivery. My unit is currently 20miles from house, apparently motionless for 3 days.
Thanks. My intention was immediately out-the-box flash to 4.4. KRT16S and root and then take it from there.
I'd also disable anything wireless on the N10 which isn't Wifi, to eliminate any interference inside your unit. I see from specs it has NFC so disable it and disable Bluetooth. If those last two ideas actually fix it then for sure your physical device has dud-ness but at least you got proof for a Woot return, or to negotiate for a credit if you can live with the problem.
Some of these refurbished units will have a legitimate reason for return, but as the original owner of your unit found, new units have issues too so I was game for a refurbished.
Good luck

Ok, well tried all 3 and unfortunately nothing worked. The lagging now seems to be a litter better, but now the lips don't match the words in either netflix or amazon streaming, which is extremely annoying.. Also tried completely erasing after the direct flash to 4.4.
If anyone has anything else I could try I would greatly appreciate it..
Thank you,
Lynn
EDIT: So turned off the bluetooth as suggested above and lips sync now.... I want to listen with bluetooth headset, shouldn't this work??

Saw on another xda thread someone got the sony dr-bt22s bt headphones to work on a note 10.01 without audio lag. I got these years ago and were in a box in the shed of old electronics to sell on ebay, so charging them up (3hrs), fingers crossed as the fresh install seems to have solved the loading/buffering issues so far.
Ok, I'm about ready to give up, bluetooth is off and just tested streaming again and the lip synching issue is same bluetooth on or off. No other streaming in the house, 5 bars everywhere except on the tablet.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know, thanks!
Network bandwidth is more of a WiFi issue. Lip sync is more of an app issue.
You might have one or both. The fact you have lip sync issues implies to me an app issue (but you might still have WiFi issues also).
Try to eliminate it to Wifi performance by doing a more basic test like FTP off a LAN device. Compare to some other working performing well device.
FTP tends to more track WiFi performance as it is a simple light protocol. Don't do SFTP or SCP.
If you don't have a LAN device to copy off then at least try WAN test like a Internet bandwidth test because that at least shows your bandwidth off the Internet which matches your intended use of the N10. There are Android apps for bandwidth testing but whatever you compare to should be as similar as possible e.g. another well performing Android device.
Then those results will confirm it is WiFi or not root cause. If it is WiFi then sounds like you got a dud. If not WiFi then you have an app/Abdroid issue.
Did you do a FULL wipe and flash?

Hi,
Yes, I did a full wipe and fresh 4.4 install with wugfresh nrt. I do have a samsung galaxy s4 phone so will try speedtest from both to compare, thank you for the reply and suggestion!

Right so the N10 is getting pretty much the same raw bandwidth.
It might be worth doing these tests 3-5 times and average. N10 is slower but not enough to account for a major streaming issue.
I am sorry but I can't help you further but I'd say you have confirmed it is not really your N10 specific unit wifi fault so go ask your 4.4 and app questions in a more frequently accessed forum. There is about 5% of the postings in this forum than others due to few N10s sold.

Random stab at a possible clue? http://www.pocketables.com/2013/10/...ing-trouble-using-certain-apps-over-wifi.html
I tried it on my N7 which also suffers relatively poor Wifi, it seemed to nudge up a LAN FTP speed up by an average of 25% but such is highly erratic I'd have to download like 10GB with it on/off before I could form a conclusion..... (I might do that... but it will take a few hours....)
I'll give it a try, thanks! Seems to be doing much better after the straight 4.4 install rather than the updates from 4.2..

My N10 is the fastest thing on my LAN, 5 bars and 130Mbit speed, but it's actual file-transfer speed is the same about 4MB/s. If I plug the harddrive directly in I get 20Mb/s. I know to ignore what the bars reads as they are arbitrarily set by the vendor.
It is worrying that we seem to need to flash stock to overwrite and start from scratch to get performance. I can theorise what is causing the problems but I don't know. My guess is they are not fully testing upgrades and they're doing say stock, upgrade, test, not stock, install loads of apps, upgrade, test.
I learned over 20 years to do periodic fresh installs with Windows, and even Linux, I'm overdue to a stock Ubuntu install. There is a creeping slowness which accumulates and install/deinstall don't put it back exactly as-is. Android 4.4, I was playing with NTFS read/write and in terminal looking at modules and files, and I installed an NTFS app and deinstalled it but left a change in the filesystem over-writing a newer file with an older file and not undoing it in de-install. So imagine that crappy coding over an entire OS?
Also, my only lagginess was in background file copies making interactive use really slow, it happened in two totally different 4.2.2. devices and went away with 4.4 stock fresh install, that implies they have tweaked the underlying filesystem, or how caching is done. A filesystem is not something you can upgrade in-situ, well not easily.
I spent 2 days benchmarking 4.2.2---OTA----4.3----OTA----4.4 vs stock 4.3 and stock 4.4 and the performance gain is real, both Wifi speed, file transfer speed. Stability doesn't seem affected though. I'll also now work out the minimum apps I need and just keep total apps to minimum, as installing/removing is not perfect.
Not that this has that much to do with the nexus player but I'm looking to get a new router. I do a lot of streaming and have at least 12 devices connected minimum. I currently have a Netgear R6300 that I think is on the way out. Looking for suggestions and I don't really have any tech savy friends to ask that are in the same boat.
I am an early adopter and love the cisco/linksys/belkin line of routers. i always get the newest model as they are announced/released. have been on board with linksys exclusively for decades using their brand of routers.
im currently using a linksys EA9200 which is an AC3200 router. has one 2.4 side and two 5ghz sides. the router senses the slower traffic and places it on the proper side whereas faster devices will be steered to another one. does this all automatically. has more features but that is a nice setup about this router.
I also have a hub and use 9 machines (wired and wireless) with this unit.
the next best router for a bit less bread is the wrt 1900 also from linksys. its built like a tank and has the ability to load up custom firmware.

Thanks for the reply. The tri band setup seems pretty sweet. Didn't even notice this one. I've been looking at Asus and netgear pretty much so far.
I got the Linksys EA6900 for Christmas and hated it.
Internet connection kept dropping, wifi kept dropping, USB printer connection "thing" didn't work with my MF printer.
Took it back and paid an extra $50 and got the Neatgear Nighthawk R8000. Also a tri-band (1 x 2.4 and 2 x 5 ghz) with auto sensing.
I love it. Everything works as expected out of the box.
In the house I have 2 smart phones, 3 tablets, Nexus Player, Wii all using Wifi and 3 PC's, 1 TV and 2 PS3's all hard wired.
I have an Asus AC66U. So far I'm happy with it. Nice features and speed and range are great. They say they are compatible with DD-WRT but when I loaded it up it was spotty at best and my data rates were about half of what I got on the stock firmware. I reverted back because I would rather take speed and stability over features. My media server uses an ASUS PCE-AC68 card and I get pretty much gigabit speeds. Link shows 1300mbps and throughput tests are consistently around 450-475mbps from about 30 feet away and through 1 wall. The NP gets about 230-250mbps. at the same distance.

I had some TP-Links, Belkins and even Linksys routers but this one is most stable one - not to mention the transfer speeds, Merlin firmware is updated daily.
I just have an airport extreme.
So far I tried a Nighthawk R8000. First one was junk out of the box. Tried a second one and I like it. I tried the Linksys AC3200. I thought the range was terrible so I went back to the Nighthawk. I have a ASUS RT-AC87U on order. I'll try this but so far I'm pretty happy with the R8000
