[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Bananajet:
Update

Gentlemen (and any ladies)

after a few weeks using ICS 4 here are my findings! If anyone can help I would be very grateful as right now, the frustration doesnt compare!

I also realise my original title was slightly misleading, please note I NEVER lose connection to the router, it is the data that seems to

be choked! Almost like the tab only allows a bit through at a time and if there is a load to come through (images or streaming television), it chokes it and very little gets through? Interesting though I dont seem to have any issues wastching youtube much!

To recap, p7310 8.9 wifi version which was a refurb from the US direct from Samsung! Im in the UK! Originally came with HC3.1

I downloaded 3.2 straight away and have done nothing to this machine to alter what came out of the box!

I was very very happy with it and 3.2! Of course, as everyone else, was excited to get ICS 4.04

Downloaded ICS OTA with the update on the tab

I have noticed nothing for my type of usage much difference in ICS apart from possibly better battery but battery was ok anyway!

Back to my problem!

Web pages which contain any amount of thumbnails which might change (alter their positon on the page) when requested as a new page or refreshed very rarely load all of the images! It might load about 5-10% of them when the problem exists which is about 75% of the time! Also streaming live television is very poor to connect although when connected, it works perfectly!

On 3.2 even in my garden I could load web pages that were graphic intensive (nothing extreme, just were there might be mulitple thumbnails etc)

they would load as quick as you would want, reloads, new pages, browsing etc all worked perfectly and streaming television too!

I use the stock browser and one called dolphin

On ICS I would say about 75% of the time, any pages as mentioned above do not load all of the images, only probably about 10% of the images would load, the reast would have place marks showing where the other images should go! It would then stop! Any amount of recycle does not improve it until such time (can be a minute, can be 5 minutes)! The other 25% it works basically as it should, quite fast and normal!

One other issue is IF it is working correctly and I try and load a new tab or page in the background then the new page is highly unlikey to load correctly with any images it might want to display! Like "You cant have both mate" haha

On 3.2 any streaming video or television was perfect, fast and never failed! On ICS it has a 80% failure first time and requires usually 3-4 recyles to 'hook it'! Once it is in, it stays in and works well! If I try and change channel or view something else, it reverts to failure again!

I have changed no settings on router, changed nothing about anything! All other items in the house that might use wifi still perform as before!

The change in the quality happend immediately after ICS download.

This issue has left what was a fantastic bit of kit very frustrating to use and almost unusable!

I would really like to go back to 3.2 if I can but am unsure how easy this is although I do understand that was mentioned in an earlier post

I cannot try the 5ghz method as it is not rooted and to be honest, I am in the UK and that issue is regarding the US networks! My ccode says GB and not ALL btw.

To summarise, it seems that any new or data that requires a lot of refreshing rather than drawing from a cache doesnt want to load?

Any advice would be very helpful,

thank you all again.
