[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
Although I agree with what you're saying about fully understanding what you're doing before rooting etc and partly agree with flashing the stable version first I don't agree with this part.

In the beginning I guess that may have been true but nowadays I believe the cm team has gotten it down to a fine art.

I've been using nightlies since about build #80 I have only ever noticed 1 bug other than the ones i created myself, and I only spotted that because Arco mentioned it, he changed something and broke the camera which was fixed the next day.

The nightlies have stopped for the moment and the last one #256 is perfectly stable and bug free, also the one i use, 7.2 rc0 that erwinp compiled is also stable and bug free, plus the extra features make it worthwhile ditching the stable and upgrading.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisPNE:
Ah fair enough. I haven't bothered with nightlies for a long time as I don't have time to mess about flashing a new ROM everyday.

I'll edit my post. :)

I had decided to install cm 7.1 and its so great,I suggest cm 7 to everyone who was undecided, and thanks for you guys for help.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alanapone:
I'm looking at doing this to my missus wildfire. Will she notice a performance boost? She spends hours on angry birds... Because it's so slow! I wondered if anyone noticed if the phones speed was improved with cm7 or any other ROM or will it need overclocking?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
Angry birds runs for me on overclocked cm7 without any lag at all. If you do decide to root and install cm7 the built in kernel allows for overclocking up to 768mhz anyway.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alanapone:
Thats sounds like it's the one I want then. Does it look like the standard operating system and does it have all the same apps etc? I'd preffer it to not look any differant if possible so she doesn't have the oportunity to moan at me ;)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
Sorry mate cm7 is based on gingerbread and comes with adw launcher, the stock Rom is completely different as it comes with HTC sense preinstalled on top of the android OS which contains all the HTC apps she's used to seeing, there are a couple of custom roms based on stock which do have all the apps. Only problem you might face is that sense is more resource hungry than cm7. I'm currently on one now, dk custom so I'll just install angry birds now and see how it goes.

Edit: I've just done the first 7 levels of angry birds lag free on dk custom Rom so it should be fine for her.

This thread is full of information about rooting,s-offing and installing clockworkmod recovery so you can flash a custom Rom etc

Angry Birds run smooth, just like they should, it's big improvement.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alanapone:
Excelent, cheers Scratch. I'm s-off'd, cwm, rooted and i'm going.to unlock on my sesation so i think i've grasped th basics so i feel confident to get started on hers. I'll look into that custom rom and try to find one I can put on. I thought if it looks the same as it does now but goes a bit better then i'll be in the good books ;)

I have the same issue but i'm on original OTA 4.0.3 (unrooted). In the past few days my battery drained within 8-9 hours, hardly using it. This night i charged it to 100% and within 8 hours it was dead. Android os is usually between 40 and 50%...

Since i have ICS the battery life was awesome, up till now... Does this sound familiar to anyone?

[Nexus S General] kkh786:
I suspect the Android OS is a combination of a number of apps/processes.

When I first upgraded to ICS I had the same battery drain issue.. I promptly disabled Google Photos and Google+ (don't use it) and now the battery easily lasts me over 24 hours with my normal usage (similar to GB). However the Android OS still reads as the highest usage but now its on par with screen usage.

I think Google photos and Google+ were constantly trying to sync.. hence.. the resultant heavy battery drain.. but I still think Google can somewhat optimise ICS to reduce Android OS usage..

My two pence not cent.. LOL.. (yes I am British!)
[Nexus S General] jorenfrielink:
Thanks! I'll try that. But what do you mean with Google Photo's? The Gallery app?

I now remember even disabling the account sync to spare my battery, seems like it only made it worse if that's possible...
[Nexus S General] donsh00tmesanta:
I delete those should I have not done that???? Can you tell me how you turned them off?
[Nexus S General] cdpango:
My Android OS usage is around 20~30%.

Doing some search and you will find some said that doing a factory reset will help, but other said it just helps in the beginning and then the problem comes back. So I am reluctant to reset it now. Hope Google fix it soon.
[Nexus S General] jorenfrielink:
You can disable a few system apps in settings/apps. I don't think deleting is such a good idea. A system reset should bring 'm back I recon..
[Nexus S General] Acontreras86:
This issue is the only let down for me. I haven't found any fix yet. I've tried all types of kernal and rom combinations. Gonna have to deal with it until Google fixes it. So many users are affected by this
[Nexus S General] kkh786:
Also disabling apps removes them from the app drawer.. I love the "disable" feature in ICS.. saves me rooting to remove certain apps! :)

Anyway.. I think "Google Photos" refers to ALL pictures linked to your Google account, i.e., Google+ and may possibly include Picasa.
[Nexus S General] donsh00tmesanta:
alright I will fully wipe and install oics v43 and flash glados 2.6....

so how do i stop browser sync and photos?
[Nexus S General] voyager_s:
I don't think this is strictly an ICS issue. I had similar problem with 2.3 gingerbread roms also.

Its like already been said by a few people ahead of me. Its related to the services we have running and synchronizing in the backgrounds. I've noticed I no longer have the huge drain issues as I did with gingerbread. But then again I have disabled a lot of the background services that were constantly syncing.
[Nexus S General] donsh00tmesanta:
Can you elaborate on those services?

Android OS doesn't seem to be affecting my battery life too much, even at 30+ %.

The above includes 5hrs of screen on time.
[Nexus S General] donsh00tmesanta:
dang!!! is that extended battery?

what is your setup?
[Nexus S General] Braneless:
No, stock 1440. That screen cap was with sph33r's ICS v2 and GLaDOS 2.5, I believe.

100/1000mhz, interactive gov, no deep idle, no undervolting.

I switched to vhgomez's 1.2 and Eugene Speedy2 yesterday so I expect even better performance, based on what I've read about it.
[Nexus S General] boostern:
:eek:

The max ever screen on time for me was 3,5hrs :(

Do you have the i9020 or the i9023?
[Nexus S General] raeef:
I too had awful battery life after upgrading to ICS , didn't get more than 5 hours. Android OS was always above 50% and awake for more than " on battery time" I tired uninstalling G+ but that didn't make things right. I am not sure if I disabled photo syncing or not :s

I tried many roms and kernels without any luck, now I am on AOSP+ 2.0.2 and it's better, I get around 10-11 hours with Skype always on with wifi/3G/2G

but also Android OS is eating 45% of the battery too :confused:
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
I get quite a good battery life after :

- deleted G+

- disabled Email

- calibrated the battery via app on the Market

- flashed Matrix v13, stock settings (tried 3 cuatom kernels, best bat. life is on here)
[Nexus S General] Braneless:
D720 - not sure if this Sprint NS4G has an "i" designation.
[Nexus S General] boostern:
Simply amazing!

What's your setup?
[Nexus S General] Braneless:
Described somewhat 5 or 6 posts back.

I switched over to vhgomez's 1.2 yesterday because it has pulldown power widgets and CMsettings + Voodoo baked in. Also took a minute to flash Eugene's latest Speedy2 kernel, as it's supposed to be the best available for efficiency and stability - as in people running 1-2 days on a charge.

We'll see how the new combo works out over the next couple of days.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yourbrokenoven:
Problem 1. Many times, I will pick up my NT after it has been sitting idle for a number of hours, and wifi simply will not connect. I try to turn it off and back on in the settings, but it says it is unable to turn wifi off. I power cycle the device and it works again. This will happen on an almost daily basis.

Problem 2. Once wifi is working, certain websites will not load, or will load just once and wont' load again for hours. For example, I bookmarked these forums, and I check them often for updates. I wasn't having any problem at all until the last couple weeks. I'm rooted with google apps, i'm using the original browser. A few moments ago, I loaded the big list of forums. It worked fine. I clicked on THIS forum, however, and it would no longer load. I can browse the forums on my Droid Charge, my Desktop PC, my iPad and my girlfriend's iPhone 4s, so I know the website is not down, and it's a problem with the NT only. Other websites on the NT work fine. I can run the Speedtest app on the tablet with no problems. I can run wifi analyzer. This problem even occurs on Dolphin Browser.

I'm about to just do a factory restore again and give up on rooting for now. This was the same problem that made me restore a few weeks ago. The browser just becomes borked after being rooted for x amount of time.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Just an update: After factory restoring using it for a while, and then re-rooting, I've noticed that problem 2 has never re-occurred. I'm not certain what was happening. Very strange. I reproduced the problem over and over before posting. I even tried resetting my router and modem just in case.

Problem 1 persists. Rebooting always fixes the problem temporarily, but if the device goes to sleep for a few hours whether charging or not, it will almost always need a reboot. I always try to turn wifi off and back on, but the device is unable to disable wifi during this issue. I never noticed this problem while the device was unrooted, though I'll admit I didn't keep it stock, unrooted, very long.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cgdash:
I'm rooted and I don't have either of the problems you mentioned. I use the dolphin browser exclusively. I'd definitely go back to stock and then re-root.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
Been rooted a week. Use Dolphin-Mini and little on no trouble. WiFi seems to reach pretty far. I sometimes need to restart if idle a while.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
I have not had any issues with wifi.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lenardo:
It's you. I have yet to have an issue with wifi. Netflix amazon player, dolphinhd etc.. all hage worked almost flawlessly
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NookieStackhouse:
I've experienced Problem 1, where I'll need to reboot wifi after leaving my rooted Nook idle overnight, a couple of times. But it's only happened 3 or 4 times to the dozens of nights I've left it on overnight. Otherwise, I haven't experienced Problem 2 or any other issues connecting to the internet using wifi. My Nook seems rock solid in that department.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] 150pilot:

Same Here.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TinaL38:
I am having the same problem 1 the past two days or so. I have sideloaded amazon app store, GO Launcher EX, the Nook app manager and several sideloaded apps from the amazon store. Also running ZD Box.

I will have the wifi just go out with the same message, I turn off and back on and its fine. I figured its one of those issues that will be cleaned up with the next update.

My son has a Nook Color still on software 1.3 and he has had it once or twice.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Echo17121:
I am having the same problem with the Nook needing to be rebooted after sitting idle. I am rooted but I don't know if this was a problem while the device was unrooted because I only had it for about a day before rooting. Could it be Go Launcher causing the problem? Because it sounds like the poster above me isn't even rooted.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MaxCarnage:
I leave wifi on 24/7, but only have my NT associated with my home network and my mifi. I have not had any issues reassociating with either of my networks after sitting in my backpack all day.

Wifi so far works great for me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ftokc:
I've had my NT for over a month now, and no problems with wi-fi. My wife's 1st Edition has to be rebooted and charged up to 100% to get the wi-fi to work right. I think her problem is she keeps letting the device run down to well below 50% before reconnecting to the charger. Less power- less signal strength, I guess.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] birdydon:
There are a couple of free apps in the market that might help you. WiFi Analyzer will pick up all the nearby signals and reporrt their strength. You can walk around your premises and see how well your router is reaching various areas.

Just a thought.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dmoisan:
Power-saving settings to blame?

I've seen this during three weeks of using my NT. It's not a new problem.

I used an iPaq on my home wifi for years and noted that when I enabled power saving on the wifi NIC on the iPaq, it would get stupid and lose throughput completely from time to time. I'd have to cycle the connection to get it back.

Sounds familiar.

I had it happen sporadically with my NT.

Since BN did my OTA update to 1.41 a week ago, I have not seen this happen.

I don't think sideloading is the cause since I noted this very early on in using the Nook before I sideloaded it.

I believe this is an unfortunate implementation glitch with a lot of wifi NIC's and access points, and not unique to the Nook.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jerrykur:
No problems with mine which is rooted. Wifi works great.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] innumerabilis:
My grouse with the NT's wifi is that it seems to be pretty "weak" - signals that my laptop and Nokia N8 could find and connect aren't even visible on the Nook Tablet. That's rather inconvenient.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] conundrum768:
I've had the opposite experience, In basements and rooms where my phone or notebook have spotty access, the NT has held on like a champ.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] The_Joe:
This sounds more like a "my router and my NT don't play nice" which is a problem that I have had with my mothers Iphone and my own Droid 3. I changed some settings on the router and it worked for the iPhone, and setting a static IP helped my phone.

A widget to switch wifi on and off quickly is recomended, so that you can "reboot" your wireless. So to speak.

Its also possibly your device is defective? Try it with the wi-fi at work or at school and see if it has better stability.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MaxCarnage:
Man, I haven't even thought about the iPAQ in years. I used to use one all the time until I bought my first smartphone. I had to Google it after you brought it up just for a quick trip down memory lane. :)

I have power save enabled on my NT and still am not having this problem at all; however, my battery is not getting below 75%. Are you guys maybe seeing this problem after the battery drops to a certain percentage, or is it all the time?

EDIT: I will also point out that if you look at the B&N Nook Forums, other Nook models like the Simple Touch are known to have wifi issues. I had a NST and it would absolutely refuse to get a DHCP address from my home router, so I would just connect it to my mifi when I had the odd occasion to need connectivity on it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Brenda5150:
My NT is rooted and I have a similar problem but only with my router not not necessarily all routers. I just unplug my router and plug it back in and it reconnects with no problems. However, before I had my OTAs blocked, I got updated to 1.4.1 and the the issue was definitely fixed. However, that fix was not worth keeping the update. I am back to 1.4.0 and love my NT.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spawn174:
My NT has better wifi reception then my samsung Infuse.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Bobcat001:
Twice my NT has shown just the lower dot on the WiFi indicator, in places that should have a very strong signal. Going to the WiFi settings screen shows "connected" but without the name of the access point, and does not show any available access points.

Turning the WiFi off then on fixes the problem. The NT then connects to the appropriate access point and lists all the access points within range.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lisatolliver:
My NT is not rooted and (unfortunately) received the 1.4.1 "downdate". I have a similar problem, which I resolve the same way Brenda5150 does: "I just unplug my router and plug it back in and it reconnects with no problem.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GeekyMaestro:
I also have this issue. A cold boot fixes it, and I've noticed it usually happens when I leave one Wi-fi network to join another. It only started happening recently, so I'm not sure what might be causing it. You are definitely not alone in this, perhaps someone more knowledgeable might be able to look into it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LordGibson:
wifi works great

I have a rooted 1.4.0 that has been on nearly 24/7 for over a month and wifi has never stopped working once. I connected to the three wifi networks I use on a daily basis one time each and never touched it again. It just works and seems to work well.

I have noticed that none of my apps sync when the screen is off. I believe this is a power management feature and I'm not sure it has anything to do with the radio as network apps work immediately without delay after unlocking the device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] atomicpookavirus:
When i first turned my NT on and registered, wifi would disconnect if more than a meter away from the router. After charging the battery fully, wifi works ok. The signal strength will at times drop from 2 bars to zero even when at ful charge and plugged in. After a time, the signal strength comes back up. Reason? Sunpots? Flaky power management? I can only guess. Running 1.4.1 unrooted with a few side loaded apps. Hopefully there will be a way to manually specify radio power (and turn it to max) in the future. A way to augment the internal antenna and add an external jack for particularly week signals would be excellent!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ccmay:
I agree this is a weakness of the NT. Doesn't always have strong connections when it should.

Also, every so often (a couple times a week if I don't power down), the NT just starts dropping the wireless connection, reconnects automatically, and then drops it again in another minute or so. Once it gets like this, the only thing that fixes it is to power off and start it back up, then the wireless connection is stable again.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] The_Joe:
The last time I posted in this thread I didn't have my own nook tablet yet. Now, I have had mine for four days and I have not just been satisfied but even presently surprised by how good the wifi is!

This connects better than my phone and as good as my NetBook. (maybe I have low standards) I cannot help but feel that your problems have to do with your routers....

For those with difficulty maintaining connectivity, your problem may be solved with a static IP.

Example: my parents home has two routers. Moms iPhone wouldn't stay connected at first to router number 1, not till we changed some settings on the router. My Droid three hates router 2 unless I run a static IP. My nook works great with both routers.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pepi4:
Only time I have these kind of issues it's my stupid wireless router messing up. Clear the table and reboot it and I'm back on until the next time.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GeekyMaestro:
I just recalled one fundamental change I made recently, and I believe it was after that when I started noticing problems. Under settings there's an option for Power Saver. I checked that a week or so ago thinking it was a good idea because hey, longer battery right? Well other than dimming the screen it most likely ramps down the processor and possibly even the wifi radio in the device which could be causing the issues. I have since turned Power Saver off and just lowered my screen brightness manually. So far so good, I'll let you know if there is any improvement, though I noticed a marked improvement when browsing in Opera with more than one tab open, and in overall download speed.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] deralaand:
I also have the issue where wifi just quits. usually happens while charging though.

Takes a reboot to fix.

I am now turning off the wifi when I don't use it. I want to see if I can simply turn it on to avoid having to reboot.

Just started this test today.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jml215:
Has anyone tried wi-fi tethering to an Android phone using adhoc?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GeekyMaestro:
I have. I used the "Quick Settings" free app on an LG Optimus to enable the hotspot. Then I connected to the hotspot with the NT. Worked like a charm. Slower than wifi of course, but still very usable.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Weo:
I only experienced that problem when I use the wifi for Adhoc mod. I don't experience that problem with the stock file.I don't use adhoc that much so I keep the stock file active. I am rooted and use the stock browser, opera, and primarily dolphin hd.
