[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvanVanVan:
Just an idea, I was looking for a wireless system to use when skiing I decided to go with a small bluetooth receiver. That let me use any headphones I wanted and was a much cheaper option. I started a thread about it on avs, people suggested some different options: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1385468

I went with the first result on amazon searching "bluetooth receiver 3.5mm". It has a button on it that can play/pause/skip/restart (not previous track tho)...

Why buy new wireless headphones? Make your current headphones wireless with a BT receiver.

I bought a couple of these for my car and home.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLUETOOTH-A2DP-HEADSET-ADAPTER-AUDIO-RECEIVER-DONGLE-/160708041305

Plug your headphones into this, pair it with your phone. Now all your phone audio goes to the headphones via BT and wireless.

I have it plugged into my line in for my car and it's hidden away.

And at home I have it plugged into the AUX input of my clock radio.

Varies from $15-$20 on eBay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvanVanVan:
yeah someone suggested that to me on the avs thread i posted, I like the idea of the FM radio tuner too...

No offense, but that looks bigger and bulkier then both the Bluetooth receiver I got: http://www.amazon.com/Miccus-BluBridge-Mini-Jack-Bluetooth-Bluetooth-Enabled/dp/B0038MA11U/

and the Sony 600MW http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias=electronics&field-keywords=Sony+MW600

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] netyang:
Hi guys, does anyone have experience with VOIP on Ace? I used my previous LG Optimus one on different VOIP, the sounds always very clear. but now I use my new Ace with the Asia ROM 2.3.6, the VOIP sound is too Lad and latency.

The CPU for LG Optimus one just 600M, Ace has 800M CPU, why LG is better for VOIP?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] dianpadi:
I use viber for the voip with my ace. its clear, but a little laggy.

I think it depend on the network quality.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kc1:
I get terrible performance out of both 2.4 and 5ghz on my tab 7.7

It's unfeasibly slow at pretty much anything over wifi (e.g. browsing LAN files, anything other than basic web pages, etc.)

I'm sitting here with it right next to a SE Xperia Active, HTC Desire S and SE Experia Mini Pro.

The 2 sonys & the HTC can stream HD video from my NAS using nothing but ES File Explorer and the MX video player.

The 7.7, on the other hand refuses to even load the video most of the time and then stalls after the first 3 seconds. Stock ROM, nothing else running, 3 metres from the router (Netgear WNDR4000).

Same story using Plex, and Subsonic

speedtest.net shows 36.5Mbps so there's noting wrong with my web speed, so I'm thinking it must be something technical to do with how the Samsung's network adapter is set up to handle traffic.

Sorely disappointed at this bit of kit.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] nascar24usa:
You have a Point

i just ran the FCC test software with the following results with FIOS wireless network:

Samsung Note

Download 12.71 Mbps

Upload 18.24 Mbps

Latency 12 ms

Samsung Tab 7.7

Download 6.43 Mbps

Upload 3.06

Latency 84ms

Per Samsung Tab 7.7 website: The Galaxy Tab 7.7 features an innovative metal design. Do we have another Asus Transformer Prime WiFi problem??
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] earthman5678:
I ran the WiFi test using HK OFTA apps (I'm based in HK) on several different devices and it gave me the following.

Galaxy Tab 7.7 3G

Router is TPLink WR841N (100mbps WAN port) connected to 300mbps PCCW fiber broadband.

The performance looks fine to me and it feels faster than my classic Tab which I traded for the new Tab.

May I propose you to change your router WiFi channel and retest. Sometime the channel is too congested (too much interference) and it could cause performance degradation. Also make sure the device support the channel your WiFi router is in.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ezynow:
Seems more of os / software issue.

I have tested mediatomb + several video players.

From memory:

dice player only one that could do hw acceleration for m2ts formats (renaming extension .m2ts to .ts)

For example I have a m2ts bluray ray clip:

According to mediainfo it is 28 Mbps video bitrate (max overall bit rate is 48.0 mbps)

Copied locally to sd card with dice player -> it plays like 95% ok still in avsync but noticeable skipped frames.

I tried same file over wifi -> plays like 90% ok still in avsync but will stutter in high action sequences.

So it looks like media playback should be ok over wifi -hopefully with ics, and customised roms to to follow.

I have another clip m4v format ~ probably like 4Mbps h264 high profile.

This time dice player stuttered to play it over wifi (but over sd card it played fine).

Tried bs player & played it back perfectly over wifi :confused:.

As long as we have honeycomb, looks like a bit of hit & miss at the moment
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] spridell:
I am coming from the 8.9 and the 7.7 I think has much better wifi performance. The tab 7.7 picks up a signal in my house where the 8.9 did not.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
That FCC test app defaults to a server in Seattle. I'm wondering if people won't see better performance if they go into the settings and choose a city closer to their area. I'd bet that you'd get the same results with the Tab as you would with a computer plugged into the router directly via ethernet with a server that's further away.

At any rate, the Speed Test app by Ookla automatically picks a server based on lowest ping time, and looks spiffier.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] c4Lvin:
It is not the wifi but the darn TW lsuncher!!!!! Try all your data hungry apps with ADW EX LAUNCHER and you will see how much more faster the UI and data transfer really is!!!!

Good luck!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] nascar24usa:
FCC Tester

Changed to Dallas server and got the following readings:

Verizon FIOS with Westell router. Tested computer speed as follows:

down 42.90Mbps

up 34.54Mbps

What do these numbers indicate? Normal, poor, average?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] earthman5678:
I think the numbers are fine. The computer speed test that you've done is on LAN or WiFi?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ezynow:
dude tw is a memory hog. media playback of my bluray clip improved to near bang on from local sdcard.

how long for ics - should start rocking then!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ezynow:
ok - there might be an issue with some sort of tcp scaling size algorithm not being enabled by default. Another update Samsung :confused:

only guestimating here so can you try this from command line / terminal:

setprop net.tcp.buffersize.wifi 4095,131072,1596608,4096,16384,110208

restart your player app and try media playback blacback over wifi - is it any better?

basically increased Max read size (3rd figure)

to go back to default

setprop net.tcp.buffersize.wifi 4095,131072,196608,4096,16384,110208

(taken from init.rc)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kc1:
A lot of follow-up posts on here about internet performance - that's not the issue for me - data speeds are fast enough, but not for streaming from my LAN NAS, so I'm something to do with the way specific network traffic is handled by default with this device's wifi adapter.

That has made a difference - the videos now do load - but are still unwatchable without using some kind of server server side stream - e.g. subsonic & then quality is poorer than my wife's SE devices, the HTC Desire S & even my son's Galaxy Y.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ezynow:
KC1 - i take it you have changed your home launcher from touch wiz to another one, set as default. Re-boot. It makes a lot of difference.

Also have you tried different players - dice player is good for me.

As i say, can pretty much stream 1080p native bluray m2ts files "smoothly" (when within v.good range of wifi signal) from my nas setup + mediatomb through wifi. So defn. not a hardware issue. Other media formats (except vc1) should be no problem.

I am assuming that your media player can do hardware decoding off your files too, otherwise you might have problems wilth high bit-rate files.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kc1:
No I haven't - are you suggesting it might be a memory problem? Which are the faster / less hungry launchers? I use Launcher Pro on the SE Active & Galaxy Y, Stock SE on the Mini Pro and a custom ROM using running Sense 3 on the HTC

Yes MX Player can, but not necessary on the other devices, and fails to load the video using HW encoding on the Tab. Have also tried VPlayer and QQPlayer, & whatever Plex uses - all of which work fine on the other devices. Will explore Dice player. Also, as I said above, I can watch videos on the other android devices without the need for server side streaming (like mediatomb?), using just ES Explorer plus a player.

Maybe not, but maybe a driver or throughput configuration issue, since this hardware should be superior to the phones I mentioned.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ezynow:
Dont think this will work for you. I compiled native cifs module for this kernel so should work better than esfile explorer of mounting samba /windows share and streaming of files. in essence it is seeing as a local filesystem. Samsung have changed something in their kernel and streaming was poor for me via this method.

I would suggest set up a basic upnp server and try that method - it should work for the time being.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kc1:
Sounds interesting - can you explain this or point me somewhere I can read & learn?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ezynow:
It's in the dev section but as i said i had problems streaming media using cifs but normal file transfers,browsing folders works fine. So switched to http/upnp and my media streams fine now.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] guho:
I also keep losing my wifi connection to my dir825 dlink. The wifi performance is worse than my original galaxy tab! Is this inherent in the hardware or might it be resolved via update? I have installed the latest ota update.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] nascar24usa:
Speed test shown was on WiFi.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] mdalacu:
For playing media files from samba shares you need https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free bsplayer light. It is the only player with an integrated lan browser that can use HW acceleration over files from lan. It its working perfectly on my Note.

Hi guys. How works wi-fi bonding? Who check it? Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kc1:
I can check - but I don't know what you mean by bonding? What specifically do you want me to check? Do you mean is it possible to use both the 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz channels at once to increase throughput?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Slavon81:
Wi-Fi Channel Bonding

Yes, is it what i mean, connection 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz in same time. This feature calls Wi-Fi Cannel Bonding. How it works? Do you feel increasing throughput? Tests? Thank you!

These are my speeds at home with Verizon Fios wifi using the 7.7 tab

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Shlomikalfa:
seems to work fine for me... will post some test results later...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] tummen73:
My new Galaxy Tab 7.7 6810 Wifi only is absolutely useless over my home network! Here are my speeds:

Through my D-link DIR-655 router: 118-495 kbps down and around 1500 up

Through my SE Xperia Mini Pro set up as a hotspot over 3G: around 1500 down and 2000 up.

The Xperia Mini Pro through the DIR-655: about 10000 kbps up and down.

Xperia Mini Pro over 3G: about 5500 down and 1700 up.

So what's wrong with my new tab? Can it be software related or should I send it back? It's a HK unit that I bought from England (I live in Norway). It's not rooted, branded or locked in any way. When I got it the box was opened (the seal was broken) but all the plastic film was still on it (and on the charger too) so I suppose they only took it out of the box to change the language to English and put it back. It's the Wifi only version with the number 6810.

I have no 3rd party launchers or security programs installed, only a handful of "normal" programs like Opera, Firefox, Kindle, etc.

Even web browsing is super slow, and it seems to disconnect pretty often. It still shows connected to the network, but just no response and browser timeouts, so I have to turn wifi off and back to get it to work again. This happens even in the same room as the router. The Xperia doesn't behave like this, if it ever loses connection it's because the wifi connection itself drops because I get too far from the router.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] fobas001:
I have no problems with my GSM version, I think its your router problems...and I think it works on 5ghz without problems, even in torrent download, I got 2-3 MBps, never seen better result from mobile device including my galaxy s2
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] tummen73:
Then why does the Xperia report a stable speed around 10000 kbps connected to the same router?

Been testing some more, and the speed varies a lot. I can get up to 25 mbps, and the it drops to under 1000 kbps again. The arrow in the speedtest.net app just flies all over the place, and network connection errors are frequent. It's almost like it's a really bad connection to the antenna or something, but it happens even if the unit is lying still on a table, and connected to the Xperia as hotspot, it seems a lot more stable, but still a bit slow.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] fobas001:
Here is another one

I did have problems with my router which gave me my ISP, now I bought tp-link 1043nd and it flyes
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] tummen73:
So could it be some incompatibility issue between the D-link router and Galaxy Tab 7.7? Anyone else running a DIR-655 router?

Planning an upgrade to a 5GHz router soon anyway, maybe getting another brand is a good idea then?

Another thing I noticed when running Speedtest is that it seems the connection is very..uh..jagged or something. On other devices (Xperia and laptop) the number is constantly changing so fast you almost can't see the last digits, like a stop watch with hundredths of a second. But on the Tab the number freezes a few seconds at a time, like the connection goes on off on off on off etc.

I'm considering just getting a Linksys E4200 or a Netgear 3700/4000/4500 to try a 5 GHz network and see if that helps. Anyone got any experience with the above routers? They all score well in tests, I guess which one's better only depend on which devices you connect to them.

i'm having wifi issues also with my realtek chipset router but the realtek chipset router works fine on my old p1000 tab and iphone 3gs

but the p6800 works much faster on my linksys wireless n router ??? XD

maybe the p6800 is just picky on certain routers ? :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] tummen73:
Thanks, I really hope that's the case. Would hate to have to send it back to England for replacement. What Linksys router do you have and what chipset is in it? I read the E4200 (V1 - which is available here in Norway) has a Broadcom Wifi radio.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] u24me:
Got my 7.7 today, i have a D-link DI-524 router, and also my Wifi download speeds are mediocre at best... also it appears like the tab losing connection from time to time and stops downloading for couple of seconds, never had any speed issues with other devices that ran through the same router over wifi...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Ringsending:
Having issues here too. Incredibly frustrating for a web-focused device. My Asus eee pad never lost connection, I'm guessing it's a built/firmware issue that'll be ironed out. In the meantime I've a £400 piece of kit I can use in a different room to the wireless router.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Kal66:
My P6810 loses connection at random time points. Downloads stop, web pages won't open.

I need to switch off wifi and then turn it on again. Then the connection can be stable for 10 minues but just as often it breaks off again within 1 minute.

Signal strength is not the issue as that's usually 3 stripes and my laptop and 2 Archos tablets have no problem at all.

It's very frustrating:mad:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Does the Tab7.7 and Galaxy Note share the same wifi chipset? Because I had the same intermittent connection with the Note if it connects to my Asus N12+ router but not on my old Linksys 54G2.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Ringsending:
good question. Maybe there s a fix from a different device. Ive tried any and all settings on my router. I think it s a low signal tolerance problem?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
The Asus router is like a few feet away from me so I dont think its a low signal problem theres probably something else messing it up which is pretty hard to narrow down as I've tried all the available channels and I get the same results but its pretty random.. there are days it does not disconnect at all.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Peahnuts:
Hm. A couple of complaints here, I guess I got lucky. My P9810 is on par with my Toshiba Thrive in terms of speed, which was romoured to have slightly better performance than your average Android tab. Also the range can reach across the house and provide the same speed, although at that range it starts to cut out every now and then. But for normal use it's perfectly fine.

I posted this on another thread before seeing this one.

I am having mixed results on my 7.7 - vids with DTS stored on the SD card play nicely when using MX player when the audio stream is set to SW.

However, when the same videos are accessed over the network they are choppy if they play at all.

All media players on the 7.7 I've tried seem to suffer on the network side of things.

I've rooted my device and I'm up for fiddling around with it if necessary if anyone has any suggestions.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Slavon81:
Try ES Explorer + Dice Player for network playing videofiles. I'm watching 1080p BDRips without any problem. Wi-Fi n connection is necessary.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] regius:
Using es file explorer with arc media player for video straming, amd it works well. Did not notice any problems with wifi though.

Btw, I'm using a E4200 router at home and am very happy with it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sladeywadey:
right, after loads of testing, I think have identified my 7.7 tab wireless performance issue on my home wireless network.

I have a Netgear wndr3700 wireless router, and when the router's wireless speed is set to above 54mbs then the 7.7 tab really struggles with download speed - can't get anything above 3mbs (375KB/s) - nowhere near enough to stream vids.

When I set the router's wireless speed to 54mps the tablet flies and I get 26mbs (which is 3250 KB/s)! Most videos play nicely.

This tells me there is an inconsistency between the Samsung's wireless N implementation/settings/protocol versus the Netgear wireless N implementation.

Damn. I have two of the f***ing Netgear routers in the house!

I consistently get 27mbs from my dell laptop on the same wireless channel regardless of the router's wireless speed setting so this is why I'm leaning more towards the 7.7 tab having potential issues here.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Thanks for that update, I should try to set my Asus router to 54mbps only and see if I get a better connection stability.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] omidkosari:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLegend:
So my school just recently said we can use tablets and laptops in class and around the school. They are willing to allow us to connect to the school's WiFi, but we have to give the dean the MAC address for our device.

I'd like to be able to keep some privacy, even though they say we have to waive our right to privacy if we decide to use electronics. I guess I'm looking for a few apps that can help me achieve this. Maybe a browser with an incognito feature like Chrome, or something that can cover what I'm doing online.

I also wanna know if there would be any way for me to access thinks like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Google Music, etc. through their respective app if the website is blocked.

If push comes to shove, I guess I could just tether with my GNex, but that would require an extended battery, which I would like to not have to buy.

Have you tried using the incognito tab option on the stock honeycomb browser?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitaldreamer7:
Unless you are using some sort of vpn connection or encryption you have no privacy. I'd suggest remoting into your home desktop using splashtop or teamviewer and doing all your browsing on your desktop if you are worried about privacy that much.

They can see everything you do since it's a shared connection and they have access to the gateway and internet logs.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthWombat:
They are probably running a transparent proxy with logging (I would be if I were the sysadmin), so the incognito tab won't help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raskall:
But

That does not do anything with the connection. It just dont cache anything in your browser. So that noone borrowing your computer can see that you have been watching porn.

But to OP: Get a vpn connection. Only way to get privacy on a wifi system.
